  2. [2011-11-13 12:27:44] <Dawny> Tiana wonders in, med bag in hand.
  3. [2011-11-13 12:27:53] -->| VAE (~danman@synIRC-33D244BB.nat.csx.cam.ac.uk) has joined #redpool
  4. [2011-11-13 12:28:00] <Scantron> Green walks in, expectantly.
  5. [2011-11-13 12:28:14] <TheRaven> Taggart steps in, rifle on his shoulder.
  6. [2011-11-13 12:28:15] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan strolls on in.
  7. [2011-11-13 12:29:10] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind arrives with a bag that looks like it's holding a book and a box
  8. [2011-11-13 12:29:35] <Salmander> Salman Corbette is standing beside a docked submarine and looking at the assembled team\
  9. [2011-11-13 12:29:40] <Scantron> Green pulls out his knife and lighter. "Kinda makes me wish I had a gun."
  10. [2011-11-13 12:29:42] <Wombat> Ryan gives Nolan one hell of a dirty look.
  11. [2011-11-13 12:29:56] <Daedalize> Sigrun is late to arrive, having stopped by her room to pick up her new "travel bag".
  12. [2011-11-13 12:30:18] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan finally notices Ryan's looks. He'll deal with it when they're not busy doing shit.
  13. [2011-11-13 12:30:36] <VAE> Sandor arrives, so far only with his gun and whatever pocket tools he has on himself.
  14. [2011-11-13 12:31:26] <Salmander> Salman pats the ship. "Hello Poolboys."
  15. [2011-11-13 12:31:27] <Wombat> Ryan is loaded for bear. As usual.
  16. [2011-11-13 12:31:29] <Salmander> *sub
  17. [2011-11-13 12:31:43] <TheRaven> He's also wearing the usual duster, and a sidearm you really can't see.
  18. [2011-11-13 12:31:51] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan nods in acknowledgement of Salman.
  19. [2011-11-13 12:32:11] <Wombat> Ryan salutes.
  20. [2011-11-13 12:32:20] <Scantron> Green waves.
  21. [2011-11-13 12:32:26] <Daedalize> "Direktor."
  22. [2011-11-13 12:32:32] <Salmander> "We have another emergence evnt
  23. [2011-11-13 12:32:45] <Salmander> "This time you'll be traveling by sub."
  24. [2011-11-13 12:32:51] <VAE> Sandor looks towards the director intently.
  25. [2011-11-13 12:32:57] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh, should I go get a rifle?"
  26. [2011-11-13 12:32:57] <Scantron> "Awesome. I love subs."
  27. [2011-11-13 12:33:11] <Wombat> "Any indication of what we're up against?"
  28. [2011-11-13 12:33:18] <Salmander> "It's white."
  29. [2011-11-13 12:33:24] <Dawny> Tiana writes notes!
  30. [2011-11-13 12:33:25] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind checks her bag
  31. [2011-11-13 12:33:36] <Wombat> "White. Got it."
  32. [2011-11-13 12:34:10] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind also starts taking notes
  33. [2011-11-13 12:34:15] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan runs off, and returns with a rifle of his own. The pistol hasn't really been doing it for him.
  34. [2011-11-13 12:34:16] <TheRaven> "Meaning what? Is that a description or a classification?"
  35. [2011-11-13 12:34:19] <Salmander> He steps aside and gestures to the ladder leading up to the hatch
  36. [2011-11-13 12:34:26] <Salmander> "It's all we know."
  37. [2011-11-13 12:34:59] <TheRaven> "Alright.
  38. [2011-11-13 12:35:01] <TheRaven> "
  39. [2011-11-13 12:35:05] <Scantron> Green goes up and enters the sub.
  40. [2011-11-13 12:35:15] <VAE> "Anything special I should know as the technician?"
  41. [2011-11-13 12:35:20] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind heads to the sub
  42. [2011-11-13 12:35:27] <Dawny> Tiana tucks her notebook away and goes into the sub.
  43. [2011-11-13 12:35:38] <Daedalize> Sigrun keeps her pistol. Being able to shoot one-handed is useful.
  44. [2011-11-13 12:35:45] <Salmander> Salman shrugs
  45. [2011-11-13 12:35:56] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan enters the sub through the hatch.
  46. [2011-11-13 12:36:01] <TheRaven> Taggart steps up. "Everybody with a firearm, empty chambers while we're on the sub."
  47. [2011-11-13 12:36:19] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods at Sal when she passes him
  48. [2011-11-13 12:36:31] <Daedalize> Sigrun unloads her ammo and stashes it in her bag, which she wears around her waist.
  49. [2011-11-13 12:36:31] <Salmander> Sal meekly nods back
  50. [2011-11-13 12:36:52] <VAE> Sandor empties the chamber of his pistol, then proceeds to the sub, walking a careful distance from the nearest lady and admiring her backside on the way.
  51. [2011-11-13 12:36:53] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan empties the chambers of his rifle and his pistol, stashing it in a belt around his waist. "Good call."
  52. [2011-11-13 12:37:33] <Salmander> The sub is quite modern, and appears to have some simplified controls with big buttons for those without sub knowledge
  53. [2011-11-13 12:38:03] <Salmander> "Most of the sub is automatically run. I'd suggest not switching to manual. You can just steer every so often."
  54. [2011-11-13 12:38:49] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind finds a quiet place to curl up in while listening to the instructions
  55. [2011-11-13 12:39:11] <Salmander> Once everyone is in the hatch closes
  56. [2011-11-13 12:39:33] <Wombat> Ryan also got in.
  57. [2011-11-13 12:39:33] <Daedalize> Sigrun sits near Rosalind. Research division solidarity!
  58. [2011-11-13 12:39:40] <Salmander> Alarms sound and it sinks
  59. [2011-11-13 12:39:48] <VAE> Inside the sub, Sandor finds a place to sit where he has good outlook on as many female stuff as possible. Optimization for the win!
  60. [2011-11-13 12:39:57] <Wombat> Ryan climbs into the front seat.
  61. [2011-11-13 12:40:02] <VAE> *staff
  62. [2011-11-13 12:40:13] <Salmander> The cameras placed around the sub inform you that it is heading towards the usual white light
  63. [2011-11-13 12:40:19] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan takes a seat next to Taggart. Bros4Lyfe.
  64. [2011-11-13 12:40:23] <Scantron> Green sits directly between Sandor and the women and stares off into space.
  65. [2011-11-13 12:40:37] <VAE> "Fuck" Sandor mutters.
  66. [2011-11-13 12:40:41] <Dawny> Tiana stands and looks around.
  67. [2011-11-13 12:40:46] <Scantron> "Problem?"
  68. [2011-11-13 12:41:06] <VAE> He tries shifting around a bit to see at least something. "Nothing ... "
  69. [2011-11-13 12:41:08] <Wombat> Ryan turns around, and glares. "Don't make me stop this sub!"
  70. [2011-11-13 12:41:14] <Salmander> There's a flash of white light around the cameras
  71. [2011-11-13 12:41:15] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind smiles meekly at Sigrun before taking a latched wooden box out of her bag, opening it, and making notes on the contents in her book
  72. [2011-11-13 12:41:24] <VAE> "Well, on the other hand, if there wasn't a problem we wouldn't be here, eh?"
  73. [2011-11-13 12:41:32] <Scantron> "True dat."
  74. [2011-11-13 12:41:32] <Salmander> A brief bump
  75. [2011-11-13 12:41:37] <Salmander> And then
  76. [2011-11-13 12:41:43] <Wombat> "Aaaaaand here we go."
  77. [2011-11-13 12:41:43] <Salmander> The cameras still display white
  78. [2011-11-13 12:41:56] <Salmander> It's a teensy bit darker, though
  79. [2011-11-13 12:42:42] <Mr_Wilt> "He wasn't kidding when he said it was white."
  80. [2011-11-13 12:43:29] <Daedalize> "Let us hope zere are no flowers about."
  81. [2011-11-13 12:43:30] <Scantron> "That'll help. With any luck, we can ditch it by going over a high fence if we need to."
  82. [2011-11-13 12:43:36] <Salmander> The small instrument that displays depth is fritzing out
  83. [2011-11-13 12:43:46] <Wombat> Ryan taps on it.
  84. [2011-11-13 12:43:49] <VAE> "Flowers?"
  85. [2011-11-13 12:43:50] <Wombat> "Depth gauge is dead."
  86. [2011-11-13 12:43:52] <Salmander> Keeps fritzing
  87. [2011-11-13 12:44:21] <Wombat> Ryan checks the exterior environment display.

  90. [2011-11-13 12:44:23] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind notes the depth when the gauge started fritzing
  91. [2011-11-13 12:44:24] <Dawny> "Is it dead, or are we too deep?"
  92. [2011-11-13 12:44:26] <Salmander> Just white
  93. [2011-11-13 12:44:36] <Salmander> It wasn't that deep at all
  94. [2011-11-13 12:44:43] <Wombat> No, like data for breathable air and stuff.
  95. [2011-11-13 12:44:46] <Salmander> Sandor can do nothing it seems
  96. [2011-11-13 12:45:01] <Salmander> Air seems breathable, if very humid
  97. [2011-11-13 12:45:16] <Wombat> "Well, there's an atmosphere out there... THis thing have an airlock?"
  98. [2011-11-13 12:45:34] <Salmander> There's a hatch
  99. [2011-11-13 12:45:37] <VAE> "Bloody hell... even I have no fucking idea what's causing it."
  100. [2011-11-13 12:45:42] <Salmander> I'd try the periscope first
  101. [2011-11-13 12:46:03] <Wombat> "Up Periscope!" Ryan peers into the lens.

  104. [2011-11-13 12:46:26] <Salmander> Through the periscope Ryan sees a bright blue sky
  105. [2011-11-13 12:46:37] <Wombat> He pans down to see the horizon.
  106. [2011-11-13 12:46:38] <Salmander> And beneath that, an ever-expansive cloud cover
  107. [2011-11-13 12:46:47] <Wombat> "Aaaaand we're flying..."
  108. [2011-11-13 12:46:55] <TheRaven> "What."
  109. [2011-11-13 12:47:03] <Wombat> "Nothing but sky and clouds out there."
  110. [2011-11-13 12:47:08] <Scantron> "What."
  111. [2011-11-13 12:47:10] <VAE> "Flying?"
  112. [2011-11-13 12:47:11] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh. Well."
  113. [2011-11-13 12:47:18] <Mr_Wilt> "What do we fix, then?"
  114. [2011-11-13 12:47:32] <Salmander> Way off in the distance is the peak of a mountain. There's no snow, and palm trees appear to be growing on it

  126. [2011-11-13 12:48:40] <Daedalize> "I am sure zat somezing vill try to kill us sooner or later. Ve may as well get out now." Sigrun deadpans.

  184. [2011-11-13 13:00:42] <Scantron> "How exactly do we shoot a cloud?"
  185. [2011-11-13 13:00:44] <Pemander> Gallus laughs. "The sub isn't, but Ryan is."
  186. [2011-11-13 13:01:03] <Mr_Wilt> "How do you know it's a shark?"
  187. [2011-11-13 13:01:06] <Daedalize> "You can see ze shark? Iz it aggressing?"
  188. [2011-11-13 13:01:16] <Salmander> The sub suddenly shakes
  189. [2011-11-13 13:01:30] <Wombat> "It's aggressive." How far are they away from land?
  190. [2011-11-13 13:01:37] <Salmander> Off to the side Ryan can see something emerging from the water
  191. [2011-11-13 13:01:42] <Salmander> A bit ways away
  192. [2011-11-13 13:01:48] <VAE> "We should try if comm works... Maybe the command can tell us where we are?"
  193. [2011-11-13 13:01:51] <Pemander> "I would help, but I don't really like guns. Too noisy."
  194. [2011-11-13 13:01:54] <Wombat> "Someone get on the controls and get us closer to land."
  195. [2011-11-13 13:02:02] <Wombat> "We don't want to have to deal with sharks."
  196. [2011-11-13 13:02:11] <Salmander> A hump of cloud emerges from the water
  197. [2011-11-13 13:02:30] <Salmander> It gets bigger and bigger
  198. [2011-11-13 13:02:33] <Wombat> "Moby Dick?"
  199. [2011-11-13 13:02:49] <VAE> "Just dick"
  200. [2011-11-13 13:02:54] <Pemander> Gallus snorts.
  201. [2011-11-13 13:03:06] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan takes the wheel, and leads them closer to the mountain.
  202. [2011-11-13 13:03:17] <Salmander> The hump gets to be about the size of a small island before a darker spot opens at its center, about the size of Ryan
  203. [2011-11-13 13:03:23] <Salmander> Yep, it's a whale
  204. [2011-11-13 13:03:31] <Salmander> A very big whale
  205. [2011-11-13 13:03:45] <TheRaven> Taggart is following them, rifle in hand.
  206. [2011-11-13 13:03:53] <Salmander> It sprays rain water that falls onto the sub before splashing back down into the cloud cover and swimming away
  207. [2011-11-13 13:04:09] <Wombat> "..."
  208. [2011-11-13 13:04:20] <Pemander> "What the hell, man?"
  209. [2011-11-13 13:04:20] <Scantron> "...what?"
  210. [2011-11-13 13:04:27] <VAE> "FUCK"
  211. [2011-11-13 13:04:31] <Salmander> The triangle of clouds moves towards you
  212. [2011-11-13 13:04:33] <Wombat> "Well, when we get back, we're going to have one whale of a tale..."
  213. [2011-11-13 13:04:41] <VAE> "hope the water isn't infected with something"
  214. [2011-11-13 13:04:45] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind groans
  215. [2011-11-13 13:04:47] <Pemander> Gallus smacks Ryan on the back of the head.
  216. [2011-11-13 13:04:51] <Pemander> "No puns, senor."
  217. [2011-11-13 13:04:59] <Scantron> "Hey, puns are awesome."
  218. [2011-11-13 13:05:09] <Wombat> Ryan's head is outside of the hatch, and most of the hatch is taken up by his ammo boxes and his body. Good luck with that.
  219. [2011-11-13 13:05:10] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan continues to steer the sub toward the mountain.
  220. [2011-11-13 13:05:12] <Mr_Wilt> How close are they?
  221. [2011-11-13 13:05:16] <Salmander> Closer
  222. [2011-11-13 13:05:18] <VAE> "They are, but not if you are being splashed with possibly infectious water"
  223. [2011-11-13 13:05:19] <Wombat> 6df+8 Shark Dakka
  224. [2011-11-13 13:05:19] <Glacon> Wombat: Shark Dakka: 3 (6df+8=4-, 4-, 4-, 4-, 4-, 0)
  225. [2011-11-13 13:05:23] <Salmander> But the triangle is faster
  226. [2011-11-13 13:05:50] <Mr_Wilt> "Somebody take that thing out. We're not going to make it to the mountain in time."
  227. [2011-11-13 13:05:56] <Salmander> The bullets. They do nothing.
  228. [2011-11-13 13:06:14] <Wombat> "Aaaand I can't shoot it."
  229. [2011-11-13 13:06:22] <Wombat> "Hopefully, it' can't do anything to us."
  230. [2011-11-13 13:06:24] <VAE> "It's a bloody cloud"
  231. [2011-11-13 13:06:26] <Scantron> "How exactly do we get rid of a something made of clouds, short of a giant fan of some sort?"
  232. [2011-11-13 13:06:27] <Pemander> "Maybe we can ask it nicely to stop chasing us?"
  233. [2011-11-13 13:06:32] <VAE> "How did you expect to?"
  234. [2011-11-13 13:06:37] <Salmander> The triangle moves up and you can now see the visage of a shark about three times as big as the cloud
  235. [2011-11-13 13:06:38] <Wombat> "Waaaait. They said we were after something white, and there was a whale..."
  236. [2011-11-13 13:06:42] <Salmander> *The sub
  237. [2011-11-13 13:06:45] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan looks for a lever that can speed up their ride.
  238. [2011-11-13 13:06:48] <Wombat> "Holy shit, this IS Moby Dick."
  239. [2011-11-13 13:06:53] <Tara_Unknown> "Force it to rain?" Rosalind shrugs
  240. [2011-11-13 13:07:03] <Wombat> Ryan gives up for the moment, and slams the hatch down after pulling his head back in.
  241. [2011-11-13 13:07:04] <VAE> "Hmm, that'd work"
  242. [2011-11-13 13:07:10] <VAE> "Anyone got some silver nitrate?"
  243. [2011-11-13 13:07:13] <TheRaven> "Great. Whales, sharks, what's next?"
  244. [2011-11-13 13:07:24] <Pemander> "Why did you say that, man? Now it's going to get worse."
  245. [2011-11-13 13:07:27] <Mr_Wilt> "C'mon, c'mon, accelerator."
  246. [2011-11-13 13:07:39] <Salmander> The shark opens its jaws wide
  247. [2011-11-13 13:07:44] <Wombat> "At least none of us have one leg. And we don't have any harpoons."
  248. [2011-11-13 13:08:07] <Tara_Unknown> "I didn't bring any chemicals."
  249. [2011-11-13 13:08:12] <Salmander> And the shark envelopes the ship
  250. [2011-11-13 13:08:16] <Mr_Wilt> No accelerator?
  251. [2011-11-13 13:08:20] <VAE> "Sad.. that'd have worked"
  252. [2011-11-13 13:08:24] <Salmander> It passes through it
  253. [2011-11-13 13:08:28] <TheRaven> "Fuck."
  254. [2011-11-13 13:08:34] <Daedalize> "Can ze shark even hurt us? Is a cloud."
  255. [2011-11-13 13:08:36] <Salmander> And continues on its merry way along the clouds
  256. [2011-11-13 13:08:40] <VAE> "Close the hatch.. we don't want lungs full of cloudshark"
  257. [2011-11-13 13:08:46] <Wombat> "Hatch already closed."
  258. [2011-11-13 13:08:48] <Pemander> "That was a bit anticlimactic, no?"
  259. [2011-11-13 13:08:49] <VAE> "It's fishy"
  260. [2011-11-13 13:08:55] <Wombat> "Okaaaay..."
  261. [2011-11-13 13:08:56] <Scantron> "Heh. I get it."
  262. [2011-11-13 13:09:02] <Daedalize> Sigrun speaks just as the shark passes through, then nods to herself.
  263. [2011-11-13 13:09:03] <Wombat> Ryan opens the hatch, and sticks his head back out.
  264. [2011-11-13 13:09:04] <Scantron> "'Climactic'"
  265. [2011-11-13 13:09:08] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan just continues to pilot the sub, then. Nothing to worry about.
  266. [2011-11-13 13:09:10] <Salmander> You're now approaching the mountain
  267. [2011-11-13 13:09:17] <VAE> "Climatic, Green, climatic"
  268. [2011-11-13 13:09:20] <Pemander> Gallus looks confused.
  269. [2011-11-13 13:09:29] <Scantron> "Whatever. I thought it was funny."
  270. [2011-11-13 13:09:38] <Pemander> "Did I say something wrong?"
  271. [2011-11-13 13:09:55] <Wombat> "Okay, now we need to improvise an anchor. There any rope in there?"
  272. [2011-11-13 13:10:07] <Pemander> 6df+7 Lookan for a rope
  273. [2011-11-13 13:10:08] <Glacon> Pemander: Lookan for a rope: 9 (6df+7=3+, 4-, 3+, 0, 0, 3+)
  274. [2011-11-13 13:10:33] <Salmander> There is rope
  275. [2011-11-13 13:10:40] <Pemander> Gallus picks up the rope and hands it to Ryan.
  276. [2011-11-13 13:10:41] <VAE> "and we'll need a hook.. something nice and heavy"
  277. [2011-11-13 13:10:43] <Pemander> "Found some."
  278. [2011-11-13 13:10:55] <Wombat> "All Righty."
  279. [2011-11-13 13:11:00] <VAE> "that is, unless the island has sturdy trees"
  280. [2011-11-13 13:11:14] <Mr_Wilt> "Palm trees are pretty sturdy, aren't they?"
  281. [2011-11-13 13:11:16] <Wombat> Ryan ties one end of the rope to one of the cable fittings which are presumably on the outside of the Sub to hoist it in and out of the water.
  282. [2011-11-13 13:11:26] <VAE> "Unless they are made like the sharks"
  283. [2011-11-13 13:11:37] <Scantron> "I figure anything that can live on a mountain would have to be sturdy."
  284. [2011-11-13 13:11:51] <Pemander> Gallus shrugs.
  285. [2011-11-13 13:12:03] <Pemander> "I lost all concept of reality a bit back. Give it a try, I say."
  286. [2011-11-13 13:12:15] <TheRaven> "Pop the hatch, let's roll."
  287. [2011-11-13 13:12:38] <Wombat> The hatch is open, and Ryan is halfway out of it.
  288. [2011-11-13 13:12:59] <Salmander> The mountain top is oddly covered in sand
  289. [2011-11-13 13:13:10] <TheRaven> Taggart follows him, chambering a round.

  292. [2011-11-13 13:13:22] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan pilots the sub up next to a palm tree.
  293. [2011-11-13 13:13:32] <Salmander> If it weren't for its jagged shape you'd think it were a tropical island
  294. [2011-11-13 13:13:33] <Wombat> Ryan takes the rope, and hops off onto the shore, before securely tying the sub to the tree.
  295. [2011-11-13 13:13:48] <Pemander> Gallus folows Green down the rope.

  300. [2011-11-13 13:14:26] <VAE> "Hmm, someone should get a few drops that the shark sprayed here bottled up"
  301. [2011-11-13 13:14:34] <Pemander> Gallus shouts back up. "Ryan tied it to a tree. I think we're okay."
  302. [2011-11-13 13:14:41] <VAE> "Some of them didn't dry up yet, I think"

  304. [2011-11-13 13:15:13] <Mr_Wilt> "Got it." Nolan stops the sub, and climbs out through the hatch.
  305. [2011-11-13 13:15:20] <Pemander> "We can only hope, amiga."
  306. [2011-11-13 13:15:33] <Pemander> "Maybe someone should stay with the sub to be sure?"
  307. [2011-11-13 13:15:37] <Tara_Unknown> There's containers for samples, right?

  311. [2011-11-13 13:15:52] <Salmander> There's a lot of palm trees
  312. [2011-11-13 13:16:08] <VAE> "I'd say so.. but it's the first time I see this sub."
  313. [2011-11-13 13:16:13] <Salmander> You can also see the tips of tapered wood strapped together at the top of the canopy
  314. [2011-11-13 13:16:24] <Pemander> Gallus reaches the bottom and plops down in the sand. "I think we are being given a acation!"
  315. [2011-11-13 13:16:28] <TheRaven> "Up high."
  316. [2011-11-13 13:16:30] <Wombat> "Also, looks like there's life."

  322. [2011-11-13 13:17:07] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan hops down into the sand, chambering a round in both his rifle and his pistol.
  323. [2011-11-13 13:17:18] <Pemander> Gallus starts to make a sand angel. "Feels fine to me!"
  324. [2011-11-13 13:17:26] <Salmander> It's a tropical island, no scientific equipment here
  325. [2011-11-13 13:17:33] <Daedalize> Sigrun retrieves her ammo from the bag and loads her pistol before descending.
  326. [2011-11-13 13:17:36] <TheRaven> Taggart pulls out a set of binoculars and checks out the canopy.
  327. [2011-11-13 13:17:43] <Scantron> Green heads to the sand and lies down.
  328. [2011-11-13 13:17:47] <Scantron> "I love sand."
  329. [2011-11-13 13:17:49] <Salmander> Gallus gets rather chaffed from sanding himself
  330. [2011-11-13 13:17:52] <Tara_Unknown> If there's anything to collect samples in, Rosalind has found it and collects some of the water spray
  331. [2011-11-13 13:18:11] <Salmander> There are sample baggies
  332. [2011-11-13 13:18:15] <Pemander> Gallus grunts. "Okay, that's enough of that. He pulls of his shirt and empties the sand out of it."
  333. [2011-11-13 13:18:34] <Daedalize> "I vould not trust ze sand. Or anything, for that matter."
  334. [2011-11-13 13:18:39] <VAE> Sandor is rather reluctant to leave so far.. not before seeing what the sand and things do to others. This is the foundation after all.
  335. [2011-11-13 13:18:51] <Scantron> "G-good call..." Green also takes off his shirt.
  336. [2011-11-13 13:18:53] <Salmander> Taggart can clearly see logs with taper off ends strapped to one another
  337. [2011-11-13 13:19:04] <Wombat> "Jungle huts, Taggart?"
  338. [2011-11-13 13:19:34] <Pemander> Gallus puts back on his shirt. Modesty.
  339. [2011-11-13 13:19:41] <Scantron> 6df+8 survival (seeing how good the huts are)
  340. [2011-11-13 13:19:42] <Glacon> Scantron: survival (seeing how good the huts are): 7 (6df+8=4-, 0, 0, 4-, 3+, 0)
  341. [2011-11-13 13:19:44] <TheRaven> "Yeah, those are intelligent. I'd say roughly Stone Age tech. Eyes open, if these things are hostile it's not gonna be fun. Watch for traps."
  342. [2011-11-13 13:19:45] <VAE> "Let's hope the ladies follow" Sandor mutters to himself.
  343. [2011-11-13 13:20:00] <Salmander> You aren't at the logs yet
  344. [2011-11-13 13:20:02] <Daedalize> Sigrun collects some of the sand in a vial and caps it off.
  345. [2011-11-13 13:20:13] <Scantron> From a distance, then.
  346. [2011-11-13 13:20:26] <Salmander> It's hard to see through all the foliage
  347. [2011-11-13 13:20:32] <Wombat> Ryan gives Sandor the death glare, before double checking that his Shrike is loaded, and then striding off towards the huts.
  348. [2011-11-13 13:20:41] <Scantron> ((gotcha))
  349. [2011-11-13 13:20:56] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan follows after Ryan, his rifle at the ready.
  350. [2011-11-13 13:21:07] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind pokes her head out of the sub holding several sample-collecting items and exits
  351. [2011-11-13 13:21:09] <TheRaven> "Single file line. Don't want to get stuck in a pit of Punji sticks."
  352. [2011-11-13 13:21:15] <Daedalize> "Ve are moving out. Anyone wanting to come should do so now. Individual travel is dangerous."
  353. [2011-11-13 13:21:26] <Pemander> Gallus follows after Nolan.
  354. [2011-11-13 13:21:27] <TheRaven> Taggart takes up third in line.
  355. [2011-11-13 13:21:37] <Daedalize> Sigrun follows the others, pistol ready.
  356. [2011-11-13 13:21:46] <Salmander> Yep
  357. [2011-11-13 13:21:55] <Salmander> Just your typical old tropical paradise
  358. [2011-11-13 13:22:03] <VAE> Since it seems everyone is coming, Sandor follows as well. He readies his pistol and puts rubber gloves on, from the equipment present in the sub.
  359. [2011-11-13 13:22:10] <TheRaven> He decides there's enough firepower at the front, and drops back, taking up the rear.
  360. [2011-11-13 13:22:14] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind scoops a crab into one of the containers and catches up with the group
  361. [2011-11-13 13:22:32] <Salmander> The crab goes begrudgingly
  362. [2011-11-13 13:22:33] <Pemander> Gallus pulls a knife out of his pants. "You're right. Best to be careful."
  363. [2011-11-13 13:22:45] <Scantron> Green is already holding his knife
  364. [2011-11-13 13:22:47] <Salmander> A coconut falls to the side of the group
  365. [2011-11-13 13:23:06] <Daedalize> Sigrun looks up into the tree it fell from.
  366. [2011-11-13 13:23:14] <Salmander> It's a palm tree
  367. [2011-11-13 13:23:27] <Pemander> Gallus walks to the coconut and picks it up. "In case we need food later?"
  368. [2011-11-13 13:23:29] <Daedalize> Anything in it? Besides coconuts?
  369. [2011-11-13 13:23:42] <Salmander> The foliage is not too dense, and it isn't difficult to navigate around it
  370. [2011-11-13 13:23:45] <VAE> "You'd actually eat this stuff?"
  371. [2011-11-13 13:23:45] <Salmander> Nope
  372. [2011-11-13 13:23:52] <Pemander> "Better than starving."
  373. [2011-11-13 13:23:55] <Salmander> Yes, actually, there is something
  374. [2011-11-13 13:24:03] <Daedalize> "Again, I vould not trust anything here. Especially ze plant life."
  375. [2011-11-13 13:24:08] <Salmander> A monkey that jumps away
  376. [2011-11-13 13:24:16] <Daedalize> "Or ze monkeys."
  377. [2011-11-13 13:24:24] <Mr_Wilt> "Oh man, monkeys."
  378. [2011-11-13 13:24:30] <Wombat> "Huh. Monkeys."
  379. [2011-11-13 13:24:34] <Scantron> "Monkeys are awesome."
  380. [2011-11-13 13:24:36] <Wombat> "At least these ones have faces."
  381. [2011-11-13 13:24:42] <Salmander> As you walk through the dense forestry you finally come to those logs you saw earlier
  382. [2011-11-13 13:24:47] <VAE> "Reminds me of some Foundation personnel"
  383. [2011-11-13 13:24:52] <Salmander> Huh, wait, these aren't huts
  384. [2011-11-13 13:24:59] <VAE> "Pity these aren't engineers , though"
  385. [2011-11-13 13:25:01] <Salmander> This is a massive fort
  386. [2011-11-13 13:25:15] <Wombat> "Robinson Crusoe in the sky?"
  387. [2011-11-13 13:25:24] <Daedalize> Sigrun examines the construction.
  388. [2011-11-13 13:25:26] <Salmander> With log after log planted in the ground to form a wall
  389. [2011-11-13 13:25:28] <Scantron> "I just hope I find the conch."
  390. [2011-11-13 13:25:38] <Wombat> "Should we try to make contact?"
  391. [2011-11-13 13:25:42] <Pemander> Gallus looks in awe, then gets a bit worried. "The person who built this...what were they walling themselves off from?"
  392. [2011-11-13 13:25:45] <Salmander> It's very big
  393. [2011-11-13 13:25:48] <VAE> 6df+8 Engineering to evaluate how the fort is built
  394. [2011-11-13 13:25:50] <Glacon> VAE: Engineering to evaluate how the fort is built: 10 (6df+8=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  395. [2011-11-13 13:26:03] <Daedalize> Anything holding the logs together?
  396. [2011-11-13 13:26:05] <Salmander> A regular group of people could never build anything this size
  397. [2011-11-13 13:26:13] <Salmander> Straps of vines
  398. [2011-11-13 13:26:34] <Wombat> "Hello the fort!"
  399. [2011-11-13 13:26:39] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind writes the discovery in her book along with a rough sketch of what it looks like
  400. [2011-11-13 13:26:42] <Wombat> Ryan waits for a response.
  401. [2011-11-13 13:26:50] <VAE> "Ookay folks... the size of rocks used in this one..you'd need heavy machinery to haul it around."
  402. [2011-11-13 13:27:05] <VAE> "The pyramids? Those were a piece of cake compared to this"
  403. [2011-11-13 13:27:12] <Pemander> Gallus picks up a nearby pebble and tries to toss it over the wall.
  404. [2011-11-13 13:27:27] <Scantron> "This is fucking awesome. I could spend ages exploring this."
  405. [2011-11-13 13:27:37] <Salmander> The logs have a small gap between them just big enough for you to fit through
  406. [2011-11-13 13:27:54] <VAE> RETCON on sandor speech
  407. [2011-11-13 13:27:55] <Wombat> Ryan carefully squeezes through the gap.
  408. [2011-11-13 13:28:14] <Pemander> "You sure that's a good idea, Mister Cop?"
  409. [2011-11-13 13:28:27] <Salmander> It's the interior of a gigantic fort
  410. [2011-11-13 13:28:32] <Mr_Wilt> "Sure it is." Nolan follows after Ryan.
  411. [2011-11-13 13:28:35] <Salmander> The upper level has stairs up
  412. [2011-11-13 13:28:42] <Salmander> Although each step is about as big as Ryan
  413. [2011-11-13 13:28:51] <Pemander> Gallus shrugs and follows Nolan, knife at the ready.
  414. [2011-11-13 13:28:51] <Daedalize> Sigrun moves closer to the gap, but waits for a response from the ones going in first.
  415. [2011-11-13 13:28:51] <VAE> "Ookay folks.. don't think this was built by people.. stacking logs this way.. they shouldn't even hold on top of each other, besides the weight of each of those.."
  416. [2011-11-13 13:28:58] <Wombat> "..."
  417. [2011-11-13 13:28:59] <Wombat> "Not good."
  418. [2011-11-13 13:29:02] <VAE> "The pyramids were a piece of cake compared to this"
  419. [2011-11-13 13:29:14] <Wombat> "Anyone got a grappling hook or something?"
  420. [2011-11-13 13:29:16] <VAE> "Be bloody careful" Sandor cocks up his pistol.
  421. [2011-11-13 13:29:17] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind stands with Sigrun, looking around nervously
  422. [2011-11-13 13:29:35] <Wombat> "Shit, our guns will be like peashooters..."
  423. [2011-11-13 13:29:35] <Salmander> And in the middle of the fort is a gigantic red X
  424. [2011-11-13 13:29:40] <Daedalize> Hearing no signs of danger, Sigrun heads inside.
  425. [2011-11-13 13:29:48] <Pemander> Gallus points to the X. "X marks the spot?
  426. [2011-11-13 13:29:56] <Wombat> "Possibly..."
  427. [2011-11-13 13:29:58] <Mr_Wilt> "Spot for /what/?"
  428. [2011-11-13 13:30:06] <Wombat> Ryan cups his hands around his mouth. "Anyone here!?"
  429. [2011-11-13 13:30:09] <Pemander> "Maybe we dig!"
  430. [2011-11-13 13:30:21] <Daedalize> "I do hope ve vill not be fighting sky pirates."
  431. [2011-11-13 13:30:23] <Salmander> No response
  432. [2011-11-13 13:30:26] <VAE> Sandor approaches, along with Sigrun and Rosalind
  433. [2011-11-13 13:30:32] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind starts humming
  434. [2011-11-13 13:30:37] <Scantron> Green is not going anywhere near that red X
  435. [2011-11-13 13:30:38] <Wombat> "Sky pirates would be fun. This is just ominous."
  436. [2011-11-13 13:30:46] <Wombat> Ryan decides to try the stairs.
  437. [2011-11-13 13:31:12] <Pemander> Gallus walks to Ryan and holds out his hands in a cup. "Here."
  438. [2011-11-13 13:31:13] <VAE> 6df+4 Science - what is the pigment used in the marking, by the looks of it? Paint? dried plant juice?
  439. [2011-11-13 13:31:13] <Glacon> VAE: Science - what is the pigment used in the marking, by the looks of it? Paint? dried plant juice?: 6 (6df+4=3+, 0, 4-, 0, 3+, 3+)
  440. [2011-11-13 13:31:13] <Daedalize> Sigrun goes with Ryan, lagging a bit behind.
  441. [2011-11-13 13:31:23] <Salmander> Paint
  442. [2011-11-13 13:32:00] <Salmander> There's about 25 steps up
  443. [2011-11-13 13:32:02] <Wombat> Ryan offers Sigrun his hand to pull her up to the top of the first step.
  444. [2011-11-13 13:32:03] <VAE> "Hmm, I wonder where the fuck did anyone get paint inside here"
  445. [2011-11-13 13:32:20] <Pemander> Gallus clambers up the step as well.
  446. [2011-11-13 13:32:24] <Daedalize> "It iz ze Red Pool's creation. Logic is optional."
  447. [2011-11-13 13:32:33] <Pemander> "Long way to climb."
  448. [2011-11-13 13:32:44] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind slips through the gap and follows the rest of the group. This is scary, but being alone is scarier
  449. [2011-11-13 13:32:49] <VAE> "Sadly, all our methods of analysis depend on it"
  450. [2011-11-13 13:33:02] <VAE> Sandor follows just behind Rosalind.
  451. [2011-11-13 13:33:12] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan hops up, and pulls himself over the first step.
  452. [2011-11-13 13:33:35] <Salmander> If you wnat to climb every step roll athletics
  453. [2011-11-13 13:33:36] <Pemander> Gallus offers cupped hands to Nolan. "This will be easier if we work together."
  454. [2011-11-13 13:33:44] <Pemander> 6df+5
  455. [2011-11-13 13:33:46] <Glacon> Pemander: 3 (6df+5=3+, 0, 0, 4-, 4-, 4-)
  456. [2011-11-13 13:33:48] <Daedalize> Sigrun looks oddly at Ryan's offered hand, the steps not being /that/ high, but accepts it.
  457. [2011-11-13 13:34:01] <VAE> 6df+0 Athletic. Sandor is a tech, not a sportsman
  458. [2011-11-13 13:34:01] <Glacon> VAE: Athletic. Sandor is a tech, not a sportsman: -1 (6df+0=3+, 4-, 3+, 4-, 0, 4-)
  459. [2011-11-13 13:34:05] <Daedalize> 6df+3 Climbing
  460. [2011-11-13 13:34:05] <Wombat> 6df+6 Be a Gentlemen and Help.
  461. [2011-11-13 13:34:06] <Glacon> Daedalize: Climbing: 5 (6df+3=3+, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  462. [2011-11-13 13:34:06] <Glacon> Wombat: Be a Gentlemen and Help.: 7 (6df+6=0, 4-, 0, 3+, 0, 3+)

  464. [2011-11-13 13:34:24] <Glacon> Scantron: climban: 3 (6df+5=4-, 4-, 0, 0, 4-, 3+)
  465. [2011-11-13 13:34:25] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan climbs up with the help of Gallus, and offers him his hand to pull him up.
  466. [2011-11-13 13:34:31] <Salmander> Everyone who rolled below a 5 is much too exhausted by the 10th step
  467. [2011-11-13 13:34:43] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+4 athletics
  468. [2011-11-13 13:34:43] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: athletics: 4 (6df+4=0, 0, 0, 3+, 4-, 0)
  469. [2011-11-13 13:34:48] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+6
  470. [2011-11-13 13:34:49] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: 8 (6df+6=0, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 3+)
  471. [2011-11-13 13:35:00] <VAE> "Huff, bloody hell, this is high"
  472. [2011-11-13 13:35:03] <Scantron> "Phew. I must be out of shape."
  473. [2011-11-13 13:35:17] <Pemander> Gallus leans against one of the massive steps, breathing heavily."
  474. [2011-11-13 13:35:20] <Tara_Unknown> "This is hard."
  475. [2011-11-13 13:35:24] <VAE> "Well, a pencil is a shape, too"
  476. [2011-11-13 13:35:27] <Wombat> "Okay, we need a better idea."
  477. [2011-11-13 13:35:43] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan continues up the steps, undeterred. "C'mon, guys. It's not that bad."
  478. [2011-11-13 13:35:46] <Pemander> Gallus gives Sandor a strange look.
  479. [2011-11-13 13:35:46] <Scantron> "We could fly the sub up here."
  480. [2011-11-13 13:35:50] <Daedalize> How high are the individual steps?
  481. [2011-11-13 13:36:01] <Salmander> 5 feet
  482. [2011-11-13 13:36:18] <Wombat> "I already surfaced as high as I could."
  483. [2011-11-13 13:36:38] <Wombat> "Nolan, stay here. We don't want to split up yet until we have a plan."
  484. [2011-11-13 13:36:40] <Scantron> "Oh. damn."
  485. [2011-11-13 13:36:46] <TheRaven> Taggart is totally there, climbing nothing.
  486. [2011-11-13 13:36:57] <VAE> "Wait.. surfaced as high? It means there's a ceiling to this?"
  487. [2011-11-13 13:37:11] <VAE> "This is odd even by Pool standards"
  488. [2011-11-13 13:37:22] <VAE> *this effect
  489. [2011-11-13 13:37:28] <Pemander> "Sub can't go out of the water, si? Maybe the ceiling is the 'water level'."
  490. [2011-11-13 13:37:30] <VAE> ((on the line before))
  491. [2011-11-13 13:37:35] <Daedalize> Sigrun tries to see to the top of the stairs from her position.
  492. [2011-11-13 13:37:35] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan stops climbing. "Alright, then."
  493. [2011-11-13 13:37:44] <Salmander> The top floor is a series of logs that form a walk around the walls of the fort
  494. [2011-11-13 13:38:01] <Salmander> In the corner nearest th stairs is a built-in cabin
  495. [2011-11-13 13:38:05] <Salmander> Also giant
  496. [2011-11-13 13:38:19] <TheRaven> "What do we have up there?"
  497. [2011-11-13 13:38:36] <Scantron> "We better get a golden egg out of this."
  498. [2011-11-13 13:38:44] <Pemander> Gallus shouts back down to Taggart, "Not sure yet. Resting a bit before we go on."
  499. [2011-11-13 13:38:54] <Tara_Unknown> "Or a singing harp."
  500. [2011-11-13 13:38:56] <Mr_Wilt> "I have an idea. Maybe we should get some rope. I'll climb up the rest of the way with it, and you guys can use the rope as leverage."
  501. [2011-11-13 13:38:58] <VAE> "Better than a golden vein"
  502. [2011-11-13 13:39:07] <Daedalize> "Zere is a cabin. Very large."
  503. [2011-11-13 13:40:19] <Wombat> "This is ominously like Jack and the Beanstalk meets Robinson Crusoe."
  504. [2011-11-13 13:40:34] <Wombat> "I don't like this."
  505. [2011-11-13 13:41:00] <TheRaven> 6df+5 I'm comin' up
  506. [2011-11-13 13:41:01] <Glacon> TheRaven: I'm comin' up: 6 (6df+5=4-, 3+, 3+, 3+, 4-, 0)
  507. [2011-11-13 13:41:24] <Salmander> Taggart makes it up as well
  508. [2011-11-13 13:41:35] <Wombat> Ryan is very uneasy.
  509. [2011-11-13 13:41:40] <Daedalize> "I vould suggest those who cannot climb wait at ze bottom of ze stairs, vhile the rest of us proceed. To delay vould be imprudent."
  510. [2011-11-13 13:41:43] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan highfives Taggart.
  511. [2011-11-13 13:42:12] <Daedalize> "Zere is somezing here that ve must destroy, and ve should seek it out as quickly as possible."
  512. [2011-11-13 13:42:21] <VAE> "Sounds ... sensible." Sandor responds, still with exhausted voice.
  513. [2011-11-13 13:43:01] <Wombat> "I think we need bigger explosives. All I've got is four frags."
  514. [2011-11-13 13:43:11] <Wombat> Ryan leads the team towards the house.
  515. [2011-11-13 13:43:44] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan follows after, rifle at the ready.
  516. [2011-11-13 13:44:04] <VAE> "I can deal with stuff going boom.. if anyone gives me a rope or something to go up."
  517. [2011-11-13 13:44:10] <TheRaven> Taggart takes up third, rifle trained on the building.
  518. [2011-11-13 13:44:15] <Daedalize> Sigrun proceeds, struggling only slightly.
  519. [2011-11-13 13:44:25] <Salmander> The cabin thankfully has a small gap between the door and the doorway
  520. [2011-11-13 13:44:55] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind sits and rests, examining the stairs and the walls near where she's sitting
  521. [2011-11-13 13:44:59] <Wombat> Ryan carefully squeezes through, Shrike at the ready.
  522. [2011-11-13 13:45:15] <VAE> "Anything interesting so far, Rosalind?"
  523. [2011-11-13 13:45:15] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan, however, stays out. "What do you see?"
  524. [2011-11-13 13:45:29] <Daedalize> Sigrun waits outside as well.
  525. [2011-11-13 13:45:34] <VAE> Sandor apparently gave up the hope of anyone helping him up.
  526. [2011-11-13 13:45:39] <Pemander> Gallus sits on one of the steps, feet dangling over the side.
  527. [2011-11-13 13:45:40] <Salmander> There's a chair with a desk at teh front
  528. [2011-11-13 13:45:46] <Scantron> Green is chilling near the bottom of the steps.
  529. [2011-11-13 13:45:47] <Salmander> You can't see what's on it from this angle
  530. [2011-11-13 13:46:06] <Wombat> "Clear." Ryan makes a beckoning gesture, and steps inside.
  531. [2011-11-13 13:46:19] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan files in through the gap.
  532. [2011-11-13 13:46:24] <Daedalize> Sigrun allows the others to go through first, then follows.
  533. [2011-11-13 13:46:49] <TheRaven> Taggart heads in as well.
  534. [2011-11-13 13:46:54] <Salmander> Thankfully a small thread hangs down from the desk, although to you it's more like a rope.
  535. [2011-11-13 13:47:34] <Wombat> Ryan gives the rope a test tug.
  536. [2011-11-13 13:48:20] <Tara_Unknown> "Nothing yet, it looks normal but huge."
  537. [2011-11-13 13:48:47] <Daedalize> Sigrun examines the wood of the walls. Is it dry wood?
  538. [2011-11-13 13:49:01] <TheRaven> "How big would the bastard living in here be? Scaled to that heart?"
  539. [2011-11-13 13:49:04] <Salmander> It's secure
  540. [2011-11-13 13:49:18] <Wombat> 6df+6 Start Climbin'
  541. [2011-11-13 13:49:19] <Glacon> Wombat: Start Climbin': 1 (6df+6=4-, 4-, 0, 4-, 4-, 4-)
  542. [2011-11-13 13:49:24] <Salmander> lol no
  543. [2011-11-13 13:49:25] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan frowns. Deeply. "Don't even fucking joke, Taggart."
  544. [2011-11-13 13:49:33] <Salmander> Ryan falls on his butt
  545. [2011-11-13 13:49:49] <Mr_Wilt> "You alright?"
  546. [2011-11-13 13:49:50] <Salmander> The wood of the walls is not varnished in any ways, but appears to be tool cut
  547. [2011-11-13 13:49:56] <Wombat> "Welp, looks like somebody else has to go up."
  548. [2011-11-13 13:49:56] <VAE> "Yeah... No idea how someone hauled this stuff around."
  549. [2011-11-13 13:49:59] <Pemander> Gallus turns to Rosalind. "So...read any good books lately?"
  550. [2011-11-13 13:50:10] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan decides to go at the rope.
  551. [2011-11-13 13:50:14] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+6
  552. [2011-11-13 13:50:14] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: 8 (6df+6=3+, 0, 0, 0, 3+, 0)
  553. [2011-11-13 13:50:33] <TheRaven> "All I'm sayin' is that if it's one of these things we're building, we might need to give some second thoughts."
  554. [2011-11-13 13:50:53] <Salmander> Nolan climbs
  555. [2011-11-13 13:51:10] =-= ProfCF is now known as Dexanote
  556. [2011-11-13 13:51:28] <Pemander> Gallus turns away from Rosalind when she doesn't respond. Forever alone.
  557. [2011-11-13 13:51:29] <Daedalize> Sigrun raises an eyebrow at Ryan's failure, then attempts the climb herself.
  558. [2011-11-13 13:51:31] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind turns to Gallus. "I was rereading my book of tetrapod physiology today."
  559. [2011-11-13 13:51:37] <Daedalize> 6df+5 tagging Onwards!
  560. [2011-11-13 13:51:38] <Glacon> Daedalize: tagging Onwards!: 2 (6df+5=0, 4-, 0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  561. [2011-11-13 13:51:44] <Daedalize> Nope.
  562. [2011-11-13 13:51:54] <Pemander> "That sounds...interesting!"
  563. [2011-11-13 13:52:05] <VAE> "Tetrapods.. that's a broad category... Rosalind."
  564. [2011-11-13 13:52:07] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan reaches the top, huffing and puffing.
  565. [2011-11-13 13:52:16] <Salmander> It's a long climb
  566. [2011-11-13 13:52:22] <TheRaven> Taggart grabs the rope and tries to get up.
  567. [2011-11-13 13:52:25] <TheRaven> 6df+5
  568. [2011-11-13 13:52:26] <Glacon> TheRaven: 2 (6df+5=0, 3+, 4-, 4-, 4-, 4-)
  569. [2011-11-13 13:52:32] <Salmander> Conveniently long enough for the GM to momentarily disappear and write a pastebin quickly
  570. [2011-11-13 13:52:37] <Salmander> No, Taggart
  571. [2011-11-13 13:52:52] <Wombat> <<See anything up there, Nolan?>>
  572. [2011-11-13 13:53:21] <Tara_Unknown> "It's a general book for comparing the various structures in common between them. After the brain showed up I thought I should review it."
  573. [2011-11-13 13:53:32] <Daedalize> "I never vas good at climbing." Sigrun looks slightly depressed, but busies herself exploring the "ground floor".
  574. [2011-11-13 13:54:10] <VAE> "Makes sense... found anything relevant.. Rosalind?"
  575. [2011-11-13 13:54:17] <TheRaven> He falls, landing pretty well. "So, anything interesting down here?"
  576. [2011-11-13 13:54:17] <Scantron> "I'm-uh, usually g-good at this." Green starts scraping bits off of the logs with his knife
  577. [2011-11-13 13:54:49] <Tara_Unknown> "Why do you keep saying my name?"
  578. [2011-11-13 13:54:49] <Mr_Wilt> <<Still haven't made it, Ryan. It's a long rope.>>
  579. [2011-11-13 13:55:27] <TheRaven> He wanders around, scanning the area.
  580. [2011-11-13 13:55:37] <VAE> "No particular reason... I just like the sound of it.."
  581. [2011-11-13 13:55:53] <VAE> "So... anything relevant you found?"
  582. [2011-11-13 13:56:31] <Salmander> Nolan sees a burnt out candle and a journal lying on the desk
  583. [2011-11-13 13:57:06] <Salmander> The words on the journal read as follows http://pastebin.com/ZWUDcpjA
  584. [2011-11-13 13:57:16] <Mr_Wilt> <<Okay, I've made it to the top. There's a dead candle and what looks like a journal.>>
  585. [2011-11-13 13:57:42] <Tara_Unknown> "And I'd need to make more observations of the brain and its surrounding nervous system to be able to narrow it down, but it's certainly a vertebrate nervous system and definitely belonging to some kind of tetrapod, or at least something that has somehow evolved a very similar nervous system."
  586. [2011-11-13 13:57:50] <Daedalize> <<Can you read it?>>

  588. [2011-11-13 13:58:20] <Mr_Wilt> <<I can. It's from one Captain James Sullivan. He said he's buried some treasure on the island, presumably where the X is.>>
  589. [2011-11-13 13:58:30] <Wombat> <<Anything else?>>
  590. [2011-11-13 13:58:59] <Mr_Wilt> <<It says here he was dying of an infection, and that he wants us to destroy the treasure lest his crew find it and use it to finance their treachery.>>

  592. [2011-11-13 13:59:10] <Daedalize> <<How large is ze journal? Might you be able to throw it down?>>
  593. [2011-11-13 13:59:12] <Salmander> Thunder can be heard off in the distance
  594. [2011-11-13 13:59:14] <Wombat> Ryan spins around.
  595. [2011-11-13 13:59:19] <Wombat> "Shit."
  596. [2011-11-13 13:59:24] <Pemander> Gallus's ears perk up.
  597. [2011-11-13 13:59:33] <TheRaven> Taggart wheels around, rifle shouldered.
  598. [2011-11-13 13:59:36] <VAE> "I see... Interesting .. meaning it might as well be from a person"
  599. [2011-11-13 13:59:38] <Mr_Wilt> <<No, it's way to b->> Nolan cuts off at the thunder.
  600. [2011-11-13 13:59:39] <Scantron> Green looks up.

  602. [2011-11-13 13:59:57] <VAE> "A humanoid, I mean"
  603. [2011-11-13 14:00:04] <Scantron> "Wait, what?"
  604. [2011-11-13 14:00:09] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind shrinks into a corner as well as she can
  605. [2011-11-13 14:00:13] <Daedalize> "Mutiny. Treasure. Cannons."
  606. [2011-11-13 14:00:31] <Mr_Wilt> <<I'm coming down.>> Nolan slides down the rope, and rejoins his teammates.
  607. [2011-11-13 14:00:34] <Wombat> "Well, me scurvy dogs, we've got a treasure to destroy!"
  608. [2011-11-13 14:00:38] <Pemander> Gallus looks at Rosalind. "Don't worry."
  609. [2011-11-13 14:00:40] <Salmander> BOOM BOOM
  610. [2011-11-13 14:00:43] <VAE> "Would explain how it could communicate sensibly... you have done a lot of interesting work, Rosalind"
  611. [2011-11-13 14:01:10] <Wombat> 6df+6 What do the booms sound like?
  612. [2011-11-13 14:01:11] <Glacon> Wombat: What do the booms sound like?: 6 (6df+6=4-, 0, 0, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  613. [2011-11-13 14:01:15] <Daedalize> Sigrun rolls her eyes at Ryan and prepares to leave.
  614. [2011-11-13 14:01:39] <Salmander> They sound like thunder
  615. [2011-11-13 14:01:51] <Pemander> Gallus calls at the top of the stairs. "Are you all okay up there?"
  616. [2011-11-13 14:01:55] <Mr_Wilt> "Should I tell Stair Team to start digging for that treasure?"
  617. [2011-11-13 14:02:11] <Wombat> "It's infected, probably a bad idea. Let's all get down there and discuss it."
  618. [2011-11-13 14:02:19] <Daedalize> <<Ve are fine. Zere is treasure to be dug up and destroyed.>>
  619. [2011-11-13 14:02:19] <Salmander> You can feel the wind pick up
  620. [2011-11-13 14:02:29] <Mr_Wilt> "That's not what the journal said, Ryan."
  621. [2011-11-13 14:02:46] <Mr_Wilt> "It just said /he/ was infected. There was no bit about the treasure harbouring any sort of plague."
  622. [2011-11-13 14:03:16] <Salmander> The wind becomes harsh and the thunder becomes louder
  623. [2011-11-13 14:03:21] <Daedalize> "An infected treasure would not require keeping out of ze hands of pirates."
  624. [2011-11-13 14:03:23] <Salmander> And it stays at that level
  625. [2011-11-13 14:03:31] <VAE> At this point, even Sandor has noticed the thunder
  626. [2011-11-13 14:03:36] <TheRaven> "Given the scale of this place, I'd be less worried about infections than getting mauled by an amoeba."
  627. [2011-11-13 14:03:48] <Wombat> "Let's go."
  628. [2011-11-13 14:04:08] <VAE> "Bloody hell, I hope the storm doesn't bring out a cloud electric eel"
  629. [2011-11-13 14:04:11] <Pemander> Gallus looks at Rosalind. "Treasure to be destroyed...should we climb back down to the X?"
  630. [2011-11-13 14:04:33] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan follows after Ryan.
  631. [2011-11-13 14:04:36] <Daedalize> Sigrun slips out through the crack, then casts an eye on the horizon.
  632. [2011-11-13 14:04:38] <Tara_Unknown> "S-s-sure."
  633. [2011-11-13 14:04:43] <Wombat> Ryan makes his way down.
  634. [2011-11-13 14:04:49] <Salmander> Sigrun can see a hurricane at the shore
  635. [2011-11-13 14:04:54] <Pemander> Gallus hops down a step and helps Rosalind down.
  636. [2011-11-13 14:04:56] <VAE> Sandor follows the two down.
  637. [2011-11-13 14:04:59] <TheRaven> Taggart follows.
  638. [2011-11-13 14:05:03] <Salmander> It's not moving
  639. [2011-11-13 14:05:30] <VAE> "Why is the treasure to be destroyed though? We should research the stuff, right?"
  640. [2011-11-13 14:05:45] <Salmander> And from the center of the hurricane steps out two giants dressed with eyepatches and hooks and what have you. One has a parrot on his shoulder.
  641. [2011-11-13 14:05:55] <Wombat> "..."
  642. [2011-11-13 14:06:08] <Mr_Wilt> "..."
  643. [2011-11-13 14:06:18] <Wombat> "My Repeatin' Flintlock be too small for this..."
  644. [2011-11-13 14:06:21] <Daedalize> "Ve should descend. Now."
  645. [2011-11-13 14:06:26] <Mr_Wilt> <<You should really hurry up and destroy that treasure.>>
  646. [2011-11-13 14:06:36] <Daedalize> Sigrun hurries towards the stairs and begins climbing down.
  647. [2011-11-13 14:06:36] <Salmander> The begin plodding towards the fort
  648. [2011-11-13 14:06:38] <Pemander> Gallus and Rosalind reach the bottom step.
  649. [2011-11-13 14:06:40] <Wombat> Ryan hurries downstairs.
  650. [2011-11-13 14:06:45] <VAE> "Fuck.. that bloody parrot is the size of an ostrich"
  651. [2011-11-13 14:06:46] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan rushes off toward the stairs, shimmying down each step.
  652. [2011-11-13 14:06:47] <Pemander> "How are we supposed to dig it up? Our hands?"
  653. [2011-11-13 14:06:54] <Wombat> <<Guys, start digging. Use anything you can!>>
  654. [2011-11-13 14:07:10] <Pemander> Gallus shrugs and starts plowing into the ground with his hands.
  655. [2011-11-13 14:07:11] <Tara_Unknown> "We are not using my scalpels!"
  656. [2011-11-13 14:07:31] <Salmander> There is some stocked gunpowder in the far corner there

  671. [2011-11-13 14:08:30] <Daedalize> On reaching the bottom, Sigrun retrieves her folding shovel from the bag.
  672. [2011-11-13 14:08:36] <Wombat> "All four of 'em."
  673. [2011-11-13 14:08:46] <Tara_Unknown> "I know. That's why we aren't using them." She looks around for anything that might be a better scoop

  679. [2011-11-13 14:09:25] <Wombat> Ryan snags the gunpowder.

  706. [2011-11-13 14:12:29] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan walks over to the start of the trail, and pulls out his box of matches. "Everybody get back."
  707. [2011-11-13 14:12:45] <TheRaven> His fingers are firmly jammed in his ears.
  708. [2011-11-13 14:12:57] <Salmander> The fort's pretty clear
  709. [2011-11-13 14:13:01] <Wombat> Ryan is already wearing selective earplugs.
  710. [2011-11-13 14:13:09] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind cups her ears and opens her mouth slightly
  711. [2011-11-13 14:13:11] <Salmander> Nolan roll defense
  712. [2011-11-13 14:13:26] <VAE> Sandor reluctantly takes cover, and opens his mouth, but still looks out. Stuff is gonna be blowing up.

  714. [2011-11-13 14:13:30] <Glacon> Mr_Wilt: 7 (6df+6=4-, 3+, 3+, 3+, 4-, 0)
  715. [2011-11-13 14:13:34] <Salmander> "Polly, go check the fort. We can't climb as well as we used ta."
  716. [2011-11-13 14:13:36] <Scantron> Green is standing back and covering his ears.
  717. [2011-11-13 14:14:00] <VAE> Which is awesome, as far as his definition of awesome goes.
  718. [2011-11-13 14:14:02] <Salmander> Nolan is thankfully undamaged. However, a 3 foot talon swoops in and knocks the matches out of his hand.
  719. [2011-11-13 14:14:17] <VAE> "Fuck"
  720. [2011-11-13 14:14:22] <Pemander> "Giant fucking bird!"
  721. [2011-11-13 14:14:25] <Wombat> Exactly how far away is the powder bag?
  722. [2011-11-13 14:14:28] <TheRaven> "Fuck it up!"
  723. [2011-11-13 14:14:40] <Salmander> The powder bag is in the center of the fort
  724. [2011-11-13 14:14:51] <Wombat> 6df+4 FIRE IN THE HOLE!

  726. [2011-11-13 14:14:57] <Wombat> Ryan lobs a frag at the bag.
  727. [2011-11-13 14:15:07] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan jumps out of the way, you cunt.
  728. [2011-11-13 14:15:08] <Pemander> "What the fuck are you doing, man?"
  729. [2011-11-13 14:15:10] <Mr_Wilt> 6df+6
  730. [2011-11-13 14:15:15] <Pemander> Gallus covers his ears and ducks down.
  731. [2011-11-13 14:15:22] <Salmander> The frag lands, like, 10 feet away from Ryan and explodes, doing nothing
  732. [2011-11-13 14:15:25] <Scantron> Green dives away from the frag
  733. [2011-11-13 14:15:27] <VAE> "That isn't the best idea"
  734. [2011-11-13 14:16:06] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan gets up. "Who here has a lighter?"
  735. [2011-11-13 14:16:12] <TheRaven> Taggart walks over and smacks Ryan upside the head.
  736. [2011-11-13 14:16:16] <Scantron> "I DO!"
  737. [2011-11-13 14:16:29] <Scantron> Green takes out his lighter and runs over to Nolan.
  738. [2011-11-13 14:16:30] <Mr_Wilt> "Toss me it."
  739. [2011-11-13 14:16:39] <Scantron> Green tosses Nolan the ligher.
  740. [2011-11-13 14:16:40] <Salmander> A parrot lands next to Nolan and squawks
  741. [2011-11-13 14:16:48] <VAE> "If you mess it up again, I'm going there"
  742. [2011-11-13 14:16:48] <Mr_Wilt> "Fuck!"

  765. [2011-11-13 14:18:13] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan crashes to the ground, big ass hole in him and all. "Argh! Fuck!"
  766. [2011-11-13 14:18:21] <Salmander> The bird is hit by shots and squawks, flying a bit aways
  767. [2011-11-13 14:18:43] <Salmander> It's bleeding from its left wing

  779. [2011-11-13 14:19:53] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan gets up, with the help of Gallus and Green. "Fuck, thanks." He breathes heavy.
  780. [2011-11-13 14:20:10] <Scantron> "No problem, bro."

  788. [2011-11-13 14:20:57] <VAE> Sandor's eyes are shining somewhat
  789. [2011-11-13 14:21:08] <Salmander> Ryan is hit and burned by massive sparks coming from the GIANT GUNPOWDER. -4 body.

  806. [2011-11-13 14:22:14] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind is already a distance away and hiding before the roll
  807. [2011-11-13 14:22:25] <Salmander> Saw that
  808. [2011-11-13 14:22:35] <VAE> Sandor was too fascinated by the explosion to run well, apparently
  809. [2011-11-13 14:22:36] <Daedalize> Sigrun ducks and whirls, putting her back to the 'splosion. She's already a ways away, by the stairs.
  810. [2011-11-13 14:22:51] <Salmander> Sandor roll pdef
  811. [2011-11-13 14:23:00] <VAE> 6df+6

  813. [2011-11-13 14:23:15] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan heaves himself away from the explosion. Oh my god fuck this is terrible.
  814. [2011-11-13 14:23:56] <Salmander> Sandor is thrown against the wall of the fort by the blast but is thankfully not hit by anything.
  815. [2011-11-13 14:23:58] <Salmander> -2 body
  816. [2011-11-13 14:24:21] <Salmander> He is knocked unconscious, however
  817. [2011-11-13 14:24:42] <TheRaven> What's the bird doing?
  818. [2011-11-13 14:24:47] <Salmander> The entire center of the fort is blown to bits
  819. [2011-11-13 14:24:53] <Salmander> The bird is busy being blown to bits
  820. [2011-11-13 14:25:03] <VAE> Sandor's last thought before being knocked out "Fuck this is why I love this job"
  821. [2011-11-13 14:25:38] <Salmander> And then there's nothing but a small crater in the middle, the occasional gold doubloon strewn about
  822. [2011-11-13 14:25:50] <Wombat> How big are these doubloons?
  823. [2011-11-13 14:26:22] <Scantron> Green runs back to Sandor, intending to use medical skillz
  824. [2011-11-13 14:26:37] <Scantron> 6df+4 YOU FUCKING MORON
  825. [2011-11-13 14:26:37] <Glacon> Scantron: YOU FUCKING MORON: 3 (6df+4=3+, 0, 0, 4-, 0, 4-)
  826. [2011-11-13 14:26:37] <TheRaven> "FUCK!"
  827. [2011-11-13 14:26:53] <Salmander> They're about as big as a person's leg
  828. [2011-11-13 14:27:08] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan struggles to stand back up, holding the big ass hole in his goddamn chest.
  829. [2011-11-13 14:27:14] <Salmander> Ryan is unfortunately in too much pain to notice anything
  830. [2011-11-13 14:27:21] <TheRaven> Taggart looks for anyone who's not out running towards the treasure. Rosalind and Sigrun, mostly.
  831. [2011-11-13 14:27:25] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind peeks out from her hiding place
  832. [2011-11-13 14:27:48] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan trudges toward the sub. "This is bullshit."
  833. [2011-11-13 14:27:59] <Wombat> Ryan is heading towards the sub.
  834. [2011-11-13 14:28:05] <Daedalize> Sigrun stands shakily, looking first towards the treasure, then meeting Taggart's gaze.
  835. [2011-11-13 14:28:18] <Salmander> Green manages to revive Sandor
  836. [2011-11-13 14:28:21] <Pemander> Gallus is presumably with Nolan, since he was helpan him.
  837. [2011-11-13 14:28:37] <Mr_Wilt> "Remind me to punch Ryan in the fucking cock, Gallus."
  838. [2011-11-13 14:28:41] <Scantron> "You alright bro?"
  839. [2011-11-13 14:28:42] <TheRaven> "We gotta go." He motions to the sub.
  840. [2011-11-13 14:28:45] <Salmander> "WHAT THE SCURVY DOG WAS THAT CAP'N?"
  841. [2011-11-13 14:28:53] <Tara_Unknown> Is there anything that has died lying about?
  842. [2011-11-13 14:28:53] <Scantron> Green heads towards the sub.
  843. [2011-11-13 14:28:59] <Pemander> Gallus nods at Nolan.
  844. [2011-11-13 14:29:00] <VAE> Sandor spits... "Ouch, fuck..did you see that?"
  845. [2011-11-13 14:29:37] <Scantron> "Yeah, I did. You really are stupid, aren't you."
  846. [2011-11-13 14:29:42] <Salmander> "IT'S THE GHOST OF CAPTAIN JAMES. RUN SMITTY!"
  847. [2011-11-13 14:29:53] <Salmander> You hear plodding as they quickly flee
  848. [2011-11-13 14:30:08] <Daedalize> Sigrun staggers over to the crater, looking down into it.
  849. [2011-11-13 14:30:29] <VAE> "What a blast *cough* ..last time I seen one like that was when making that pipebomb s-.. never mind"
  850. [2011-11-13 14:30:41] <Salmander> Mound of upturned Earth, pieces of giant parrot, and doubloons are strewn about.
  851. [2011-11-13 14:30:49] <Scantron> "Whatever, man, let's just get the fuck out of here."
  852. [2011-11-13 14:30:53] <TheRaven> Taggart stays back, scanning the area and covering everyone heading for the sub.
  853. [2011-11-13 14:31:04] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan stops at a doubloon, lifts it up on it's edge, and wheels it toward the sub. No way he's not getting a reward for getting *pecked in the fucking chest by a giant parrot.*
  854. [2011-11-13 14:31:04] <VAE> Sandor walks off, slightly charred, his eyes still shining.
  855. [2011-11-13 14:31:05] <Wombat> Ryan makes it back to the sub, and collapses inside.
  856. [2011-11-13 14:31:43] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes up to one of the parrot chunks and starts poking at it with one of her scalpels
  857. [2011-11-13 14:32:05] <Salmander> It's a chunk of parrot
  858. [2011-11-13 14:32:09] <Daedalize> Anything at the bottom, or was the doubloons all?
  859. [2011-11-13 14:32:24] <Salmander> There's a torn up chest at the bottom
  860. [2011-11-13 14:32:39] <Daedalize> Blown open, or still shut?
  861. [2011-11-13 14:32:50] <Salmander> lown open
  862. [2011-11-13 14:33:07] <Daedalize> Can Sigrun see inside from where she is?
  863. [2011-11-13 14:33:26] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind tries to identify what part of the parrot the chunk is from, cutting into the muscles and looking for veins and nerves
  864. [2011-11-13 14:33:27] <Salmander> Most of the chests' side are missing from the explosion. Doubloons are spilling out of it.
  865. [2011-11-13 14:33:42] <Salmander> It appears to be a portion of the parrot's wing
  866. [2011-11-13 14:33:50] <Daedalize> Sigrun makes to climb down and get a closer look.
  867. [2011-11-13 14:33:58] <Salmander> Over there is the parrot's beak. Detached but undamaged.
  868. [2011-11-13 14:34:06] <Salmander> Sigrun climbs quite easily
  869. [2011-11-13 14:34:18] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan wheels the doubloon into the sub and takes his seat.
  870. [2011-11-13 14:34:26] <Salmander> Most fo the doubloons are heavily damaged
  871. [2011-11-13 14:34:48] <Pemander> Gallus makes sure Nolan is alright, and heads back out to the fort. "Gotta make sure everyone else is okay!"
  872. [2011-11-13 14:34:55] <Pemander> 6df+5 Running back to the fort
  873. [2011-11-13 14:34:56] <Glacon> Pemander: Running back to the fort: 8 (6df+5=3+, 3+, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-)
  874. [2011-11-13 14:35:01] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes to the parrot's beak, looks through her box of scalpels, picks the best for the job, and scrapes some of the beak into one of her sample containers
  875. [2011-11-13 14:35:02] <Daedalize> Most? So some are left unscathed?
  876. [2011-11-13 14:35:03] <Salmander> He rus back to the fort fine
  877. [2011-11-13 14:35:14] <Salmander> Some are unscathed
  878. [2011-11-13 14:35:40] <Mr_Wilt> Did Nolan take an unscathed one?
  879. [2011-11-13 14:35:53] <Pemander> Gallus quickly assesses the situation. He runs to Rosalind.
  880. [2011-11-13 14:35:58] <Daedalize> Sigrun takes out her shovel again, and begins hacking at the undamaged doubloons. No sense leaving a job half-done.
  881. [2011-11-13 14:36:00] <Pemander> "What are you doing? We should get out of here!"
  882. [2011-11-13 14:36:13] <Pemander> "Where's Sigrun?
  883. [2011-11-13 14:36:18] <Salmander> Nolan did take an unscathed one
  884. [2011-11-13 14:36:29] <Salmander> They are hacked
  885. [2011-11-13 14:36:42] <TheRaven> "Don't mean to cut the pillaging short, but those big bastards might be back at any time, so I think we should probably get moving."
  886. [2011-11-13 14:36:56] <Daedalize> Once they've all been damaged significantly, Sigrun climbs back up and out.
  887. [2011-11-13 14:37:03] <Pemander> "There you are!"
  888. [2011-11-13 14:37:12] <Pemander> Gallus grabs Sigrun's arm. "We've gotta go!"
  889. [2011-11-13 14:37:16] <Tara_Unknown> "I thought it would be a good chance to study the physiology of a giant parrot. It's dead."
  890. [2011-11-13 14:37:22] <VAE> Sandor walks towards the sub, stopping and holding his side every so often.
  891. [2011-11-13 14:37:44] <Daedalize> "Ze doubloons were not sufficiently damaged. I corrected zis."
  892. [2011-11-13 14:38:48] <Tara_Unknown> "There's no way we could get the parrot's carcass back to the site, is there." Rosalind reluctantly follows Ggallus
  893. [2011-11-13 14:38:54] <Pemander> Gallus motions to Taggart. "Let's go."
  894. [2011-11-13 14:38:56] <Daedalize> She puts away the (probably ruined) shovel, and heads off back towards the sub.
  895. [2011-11-13 14:38:56] <Salmander> The thundering and wind fade away
  896. [2011-11-13 14:39:06] <Wombat> Ryan is collapsed on the floor of the sub, not even in a chair.
  897. [2011-11-13 14:39:17] <Wombat> He appears to have passed out.
  898. [2011-11-13 14:39:29] <Scantron> Green is keeping a close eye on Sandor and Ryan in case they get worse.
  899. [2011-11-13 14:39:35] <Pemander> "Anyone here know how to close up a wound? Nolan and Ryan are pretty fucked up."
  900. [2011-11-13 14:39:39] <TheRaven> Taggart is heading for the sub, slowly, walking at an angle to keep an eye on the fort.
  901. [2011-11-13 14:40:32] <Mr_Wilt> "It's cool, man." Nolan heaves. "I'll be fine until we surface."
  902. [2011-11-13 14:40:42] <Tara_Unknown> "I do, but I'm not going to be as good at it as a surgeon."
  903. [2011-11-13 14:41:03] <Wombat> Ryan has moderate second degree burns on his exposed skin. Hurts like fuck.
  904. [2011-11-13 14:41:06] <Pemander> "Do what you can until we get back to the site. That bird was hungry."
  905. [2011-11-13 14:41:51] <Salmander> The sub is engulfed in white light
  906. [2011-11-13 14:41:54] <VAE> Sandor was mostly hurt by the impact, his head is spinning somewhat, but otherwise seems OK.
  907. [2011-11-13 14:42:29] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods and goes to find a suture kit and a few pairs of gloves
  908. [2011-11-13 14:42:37] <Salmander> And reappears in the red pool
  909. [2011-11-13 14:42:49] <Salmander> It floats up and into the sub station
  910. [2011-11-13 14:42:57] <Scantron> "Well, that was fun."
  911. [2011-11-13 14:43:14] <Wombat> Ryan lies there.
  912. [2011-11-13 14:43:39] <VAE> "I haven' seen gunpowder do this much damage for quite the time. Usually, you need more.. potent things"
  913. [2011-11-13 14:43:45] <Salmander> A team of paramedics rushes into the sub and picks up the wounded, carrying them off
  914. [2011-11-13 14:44:01] <Mr_Wilt> Nolan is picked up, much to his demise.
  915. [2011-11-13 14:44:12] <Pemander> Gallus sticks his finger into his ear. "What'd you say, Sandor? Can't hear anything."
  916. [2011-11-13 14:44:13] <Scantron> "I say we should've just burned the whole place down. Would have at least been interesting."
  917. [2011-11-13 14:44:20] <Pemander> Gallus is still partially deaf from the explosion.
  918. [2011-11-13 14:44:25] <Mr_Wilt> "Gallus, get my doubloon."
  919. [2011-11-13 14:44:39] <Pemander> Gallus nods to Nolan and grabs the giant-ass dubloon, following the paramedics.
  920. [2011-11-13 14:44:45] <VAE> "True that... imagine what all that wood would do. A little gasoline here and there.."
  921. [2011-11-13 14:44:56] <VAE> "The bonfire of a century|
  922. [2011-11-13 14:45:01] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind heaves a sigh of relief that the paramedics got to the wounded
  923. [2011-11-13 14:45:11] <Scantron> "Shoulda brought marshmallows."
  924. [2011-11-13 14:45:22] <VAE> "Shoulda brought gasoline."
  925. [2011-11-13 14:45:24] <TheRaven> Taggart hauls himself out of the sub, and heads for the cafeteria.
  926. [2011-11-13 14:45:29] <Salmander> Back to #farrecon with ye
  927. [2011-11-13 14:45:34] <VAE> "or butane at least.. that's what your lighter uses, right?"
  928.
