12[20:00] <~Damhoof>  -----------------------------------------------------------------------Session9--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12[20:00] <~Damhoof>  When we last left our heroes they had defeated a bunch of starving raiders, and dismissed their wounded sea creature companion, walked over a trap that could have killed them, and encountered a rather suicidal zebra wearing a gold choker around her neck. The mare shouted out to warn her fellow raiders after attempting to go out in a blaze of glory, and the room they were staying in would surely be discovered now that her body is littering the hallway.
12[20:04] <~Damhoof>  Even now the voices of raiders echo through the long and sloped hallway, but fortunately they seem to lack a unified leader and as such both Lucky and Mayhem percieve a chance to lead the rest either towards their enemies, to maybe chance setting off the trap in their favour, or run into unknown territory to get away and perhaps fight on more favourable therms.
12[20:04] <~Damhoof>  (Lemon_cookie not Lucky)
15[20:05] * Kroama is now known as Chrome_Veneer
08[20:06] * +Lemon_Cookie sits, back to the piece of cover he threw himself behind, and rests his helmeted head on the table's underside.
08[20:07] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks around nervously, her remaining ear twitching
08[20:08] * +Chrome_Veneer waits for guidance, not sure what the best course of action is with their current situation.
[20:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... so what's the plan?" he whispers harshly in their small room, tone "defeated".
[20:10] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We toast 'em now, while they're still clueless."
[20:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I'm almost out a' juice, sis..."
[20:12] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Shit..."
08[20:13] * +Lemon_Cookie sits up sluggishly.
12[20:13] <~Damhoof>  one of the raiders let out a beastial roar, and the sounds of fighting begin to echo in the hallway they are in. Seeing the bodies of their fallen, and lacking a leader it would seem as if the snake had finally begun devouring its own tail to establish a new leadership amongst their kin.
[20:13] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Everypony," he says. "We nee--"
08[20:14] * +Lemon_Cookie furrows his brow, looking over and out the door, towards the sound of the raiders.
[20:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... tha' fuck?"
[20:16] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sounds like they're fightin' each other. Let's jus' help 'em a bit."
08[20:16] * +Chrome_Veneer "Or wait and clean up the remainder."
[20:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Chrome's got tha' right idea," Lemon mutters, shifting to look in the direction of the room's door.
[20:17] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "They won't notice us while they're busy bashin' each others heads."
[20:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "And they might get a chance ta' reorganize, how improbably that might be.
[20:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *"
[20:19] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sis. Let's just wait an' let them tire themselves out killing eachother," he whispers. "Ya' can't regroup when ya' dead."
08[20:19] * +Blueberry_Muffin rolls her eyes "Fine..."
[20:20] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... why tha' eye roll? This is an amazin' bit a' providence!"
08[20:20] * +Mayhem whispers in a hushed tone: "Oy lads...what 'bout tha trap?"
[20:20] <+Lemon_Cookie> "What trap? Tha' tripwire?"
08[20:21] * +Chrome_Veneer agreed, a bit random for the raiders to start fighting amongst eachother, but very ideal given their situation.
08[20:22] * +Mayhem just nods and peeks out of the door, if the raiders where in a good enough position for it.
12[20:23] <~Damhoof>
12[20:27] <~Damhoof>  Mayhem spots a group of four raiders yelling at each others over a dead fifth one while pointing their weapons at each others in a strange stalemate of oppinionated raiderisms. All of which are aimed at presenting themselves as the defacto leader.
12[20:28] <~Damhoof>  If she rushed forward Mayhem could easily activate the deadly whatever it was trap right into their sorry hides.
08[20:30] * +Mayhem ducks back in quickly. "Ok lads, we need ta do this quickly. No time ta discuss. Give me cover and start shootin' them, should they turn on me. Ready?" She lowers herself into her sprint start again.
12[20:31] <~Damhoof>  However as perceptive as she is Mayhem also knows that the sounds of their fighting might prove an ample cover, so as to continue forward towards their leaders.
08[20:31] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods and grips the handle of her battle saddle "Mhm."
08[20:33] * +Lemon_Cookie mutters something that might be akin to 'you're going to die' or 'what an idiot', but he readies a spell regardless.
[20:37] <+Lemon_Cookie> "If ya' go out there, ya' gonna' die," Lemon whispers to her.
08[20:38] * +Blueberry_Muffin sighs and shakes her head "We need a leader, othewise we'll never get anythin' done without hours of discussion."
[20:40] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Here's an idea," Lemon hisses. "How about we stay in here an' let those idiots tear eachothers' throats out, then pop out an' mop-up tha' remainder, hm?"
08[20:41] * +Chrome_Veneer "What seemed like the best plan to me, rather than having to get involved."
[20:41] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' not goin' out there, Mayhem. That dart trap was tiny."
08[20:41] * +Mayhem stands up again and hides back in the shadows of the room. "If ye say so, mister master tactician."
[20:41] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Yes, let's do that. We need ta minimize our risks. Mayhem, hold ya' horses. We'll stay and wait."
[20:42] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "As soon as tha' sounds of battle stop we check and toast the remaining raider.s"
08[20:43] * +Lemon_Cookie mutters something like "that's what I jus' said".
12[20:43] <~Damhoof>  Forced to wait instead of act, the minotaur once more takes note of the create one of the zebra skeletons used as chair.
08[20:46] * +Mayhem walks over to the two skeletons and lifts the one, sitting on the crate off of it.
12[20:47] <~Damhoof>  The crate creaks with old wood as the skeleton is pushed off, revealing a faded writing on its top. Ammo.
08[20:50] * +Chrome_Veneer waits by the door, trying to listen in on the fight, if it was happening.
08[20:52] * +Mayhem carefully examines the crate and opens it as she doesn't see any traps.
12[20:55] <~Damhoof>  Mayhem is greeted by a handfull of smaller industrial paper containers with strange zebra writing on it, but there is a hoofdrawn bullet on each one. Careful examination reveals .22, 5mm, and .357 magnum rounds in various quantities.
[20:56] <+Mayhem> "Dinner is served, lads. Nothing for me though."
[20:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Say what?"
[20:57] <+Mayhem> "Ammo, lass. Lots of it."
08[20:57] * +Lemon_Cookie watches the door, despite the crinkly noises.
08[20:58] * +Chrome_Veneer nothing for Mayhem meant nothing for Chrome either.
12[20:58] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_Cookies eyes are drawn back to the suicidal zebra mare. Her golden choker gleaming with a certain warmth.
08[20:59] * +Lemon_Cookie narrows his eyes.
08[21:00] * +Lemon_Cookie draws his pistol in his mouth, double-tapping the mare with the silenced weapon out of contempt..
08[21:02] * +Blueberry_Muffin takes out the damaged minigun and starts to salavage whatever usable parts she can get out of it
08[21:03] * +Lemon_Cookie The yellow buck holsters his weapon, drawing the magazine out and reloading manually, bullet by bullet.
[21:03] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Nothin' ta' see over here," he mutters.
12[21:03] <~Damhoof>  The burned body shudders as the bullets impact her head. Leaving two holes in her charred skull.
[21:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... wait. Sis. Ya' aren't seriously-- ya' can't really-- what are ya' doin'?"
12[21:04] <~Damhoof>  BLueberry_Muffin attempts to salvage the minigun to put her mind off the shouting but abandons the project as she cant seem to get a grasp of how to remove the melted bits to disassemble the gun.
[21:04] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Might as well do somethin' useful!"
[21:05] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' be off tha' defensive if they rush in here?"
[21:05] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Shootin' is jus's a bite away. I don' need ta draw a gun."
[21:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' gonna' sit. Don't sit."
12[21:06] <~Damhoof>  Just as her brother comments the act, a veritable shotgun of gunfire fills the air, and the sounds of grunting raiders devouring their recent dead without much care echos through the hallway.
[21:06] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I'm standin'!"
08[21:08] * +Lemon_Cookie looks back over, towards the door and the sounds of gunfire.
08[21:09] * +Blueberry_Muffin packs the melted piece of weaponry away. "Better now?"
08[21:09] * +Chrome_Veneer was already at the door. "Sound like they're finished?"
08[21:09] * +Mayhem peeks out of the door again. "Are they...oh by the totems! I...I think I have ta throw up!" She hurries into a corner of the room.
[21:09] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Shh," he mutters. "Shit's goin' down..."
12[21:12] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_Cookies attentive ears, alongside mayhems perceptive outlook of things lead to hearing the sounds of a machete or some larger knife chopping into meat. Next an audible sizzling can be heard, as some raider apparently preferred it roasted.
[21:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... tha' fuck are they doin' out there?" Lemon asks, turning to look at Mayhem.
[21:13] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Eww."
08[21:14] * +Chrome_Veneer "peeks outside and down the hall as well, "Think we should end this now."
08[21:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin nods "Agreed. Take 'em by surprise while they have their 'victory meal'."
08[21:16] * +Lemon_Cookie just draws his pistol in his mouth.
08[21:16] * +Mayhem draws her zebra sword, as she wipes her mouth. Then adds with a little bit sore voice. "Tha sooner, tha better."
[21:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We gef all da' ammo?" Lemon asks past his bit.
[21:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem, pack all tha' ammo. We'll sort it out later."
08[21:19] * +Mayhem nods, then quickly scrambles all the stuff together and puts them in her pockets.
08[21:21] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't have quite the amount of ammo to make full use of his enchantment on himself, so instead he figured it would be better for somepony else to be able fire off a bit quicker. "Blueberry, ready your weaon, I'll make it easier to fire more rapidly." He nudged her.
[21:22] <+Chrome_Veneer> [redact]
08[21:22] * +Chrome_Veneer only 3 raiders, no need to worry over enchanting anypony or their weapons, "Who wants to take the lead?"
[21:23] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem, ya' go in first, Lemon and I follow second. Chrome, ya' are last and please keep an eyes on our back."
[21:23] <+Lemon_Cookie> "I've got tha' helmet," Lemon mutters. "I'll go jump some motherfuckers..."
[21:23] <+Mayhem> "Me, I guess." She lifts her sword lightly.
[21:24] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Let'S do this!"
[21:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Don't ya' dare yell, sis," Lemon hisses.
08[21:24] * +Blueberry_Muffin considers shouting something in like "Leeroy Jenkins" but decides against it.
08[21:24] * +Chrome_Veneer nodded, stepping silently out in to the hall, looking down the opposite direction of the raiders first, making sure there wasn't some group they were completely missing, or something of that sort.
08[21:25] * +Lemon_Cookie slips silently towards the hall.
08[21:25] * +Mayhem goes into the hallway again, lowering herself, ready to sprint off.
08[21:26] * +Blueberry_Muffin follows Lemon_Cookie and Mayhem, ready to fire
08[21:26] * +Lemon_Cookie tries to get a firing angle on the raiders from the hallway.
12[21:27] <~Damhoof>  As Lemon, Mayhem, and the others carefully approach the hallway until they reach the end with the tripwire there seems to be no problem at all. The raiders are eagerly devouring their own fallen with an unholy hunger.
08[21:27] * +Blueberry_Muffin whispers "Watch tha' wire."
08[21:27] * +Mayhem whispers: "Ye lads ready?"
12[21:28] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_Cookie can spot two if he inches himself to the rightmost corner, however the third is hidden by the tripwire statuettes.
08[21:28] * +Lemon_Cookie prepares to cast a spell, then fire two shots into their backs while they're still unaware of his presence.
08[21:28] * +Chrome_Veneer bites down on his laser pistol, following up from the behind the rest of the group.
12[21:28] <~Damhoof>  They seem lightly armed, with simple revolvers, and the same bone hide armour as the previous raiders that got defeated.
08[21:29] * +Blueberry_Muffin prepares to fire 2 steadied shots at the raider by the statues.
[21:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem, I'll open fire as soon as ya' start."
08[21:39] * +Mayhem nods. "Ok, tree...two...one...GO!" She sprints off, rushing around the corner. She ignores the first two raiders and slashes the blade at the third one.
08[21:42] * +Mayhem as she misses the first one, she takes two other swings at the raider.
12[21:46] <~Damhoof>  The raiders ghasp in shock as the large minotaur female charges forward and swings her zebra sword around. Her target manages to dodge the first blow, but the second hits him in the head with the sharp edge. Giving him a large gash across the forehead.
08[21:48] * +Chrome_Veneer aligned himself to fire at the closest raider, as opposed to the third one that Mayhem went for. 3 Steady shots.
12[21:51] <~Damhoof>  The raider bursts into glowing ash as Chrome_Veneer steadied shots ravage his body, first the head, the chest and then his leg. He doesn`t even get a scream off before being vaporised.
08[21:52] * +Lemon_Cookie unleashes all his fury on the last visible raider, blasting him with a spell and two bullets.
12[21:55] <~Damhoof>  The raider grunts as a bullet strikes the bone and leather chestpiece he walked around in, but he stays up.
12[22:00] <~Damhoof>  The beam of magic leaves his chestpiece sizzling with arcane energies, and before he can react a bullet runs through his eyesocket. The Raider rages angrily but tilts into the ground as he tries to stand on his right leg which also got hit by Lemon_Cookie. Rolling around on the floor as Blueberry_muffin lines up her rifle for a finishing blow.
08[22:02] * +Blueberry_Muffin shifts targets as she fears she might hit Mayhem and fires her 2 steadied shots at the remaining raider, impressed by the damage Chrome_Veneer caused.
12[22:06] <~Damhoof>  The raider seems to lay still on the ground after BLueberry_Muffins shot hit him in the flank. Blood leaks out of him like a fauset set on maximum.
08[22:10] * +Mayhem lets out her rage and fury on the raider. She strikes four times at him. "HOW-CAN-PONIES-BE SO VILE?!"
12[22:12] <~Damhoof>  The raider squeals as Mayhems blade runs through his neck and horrible gashes run across his chest. His eyes question the minotaur for a second, before the body collapses and dies.
08[22:12] * +Chrome_Veneer stares a bit surprised by Mayhem's brutality on the pony (that deserved it). "Not everypony is this  bad, though."
08[22:14] * +Mayhem stands over the body, panting heavily. The zebra blade dripping with blood. Strangely, there is a bit less blood dripping to the ground as one would expect.
12[22:14] <~Damhoof>  A heated silence and the scent of roasted pony flesh fills the air.
08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer shakes himself out a bit, the smell of roasting pony disturbing him. "Let's check the bodies quick and move on."
08[22:16] * +Lemon_Cookie uses his telekinesis to reload his pistol, breathing deeply as he looks at the death and destruction that inhabits the room.
08[22:17] * +Blueberry_Muffin scrunches her muzzle and nods as she kicks her battle saddle into reload
08[22:17] * +Chrome_Veneer had already put his weapon away upon Mayhem's finishing the last raider pony, and began to search the room for any new wares, and the bodies for anything besides the crude armor they wore.
08[22:18] * +Blueberry_Muffin checks the quality on the armour of the raiders they just killed
08[22:19] * +Mayhem letting go of the blade with one hand, she swings it in a wide arc, blood splattering across the wall and floor. As soon as the weapon is sheathed away and she no longer has her hands on it, Mayhem begins to retch again, but nothing comes out.
12[22:21] <~Damhoof>  A strange desert dryness is gnawing in Chrome_Veneers throat as they search the bodies. Outside of the poorly conditioned raider armour, they find two worse condition caravan shotguns, three heavily used .357 magnum pistols, and 15 twenty gauge slugs, and 15 magnum rounds. 76 caps, and plenty of charred meat neatly cut up by a poor condition machete.
[22:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... wonder what charred all this meat," Lemon mutters.
08[22:22] * +Blueberry_Muffin strips the raiders of the armour and adds it to her collection
[22:22] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Incendiary Grenade?"
08[22:22] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over at Mayhem.
08[22:23] * +Mayhem is still bending over, dry retching noises coming from her throat. She didn't listen to the conversation.
08[22:23] * +Chrome_Veneer didn't find anything he could use, not that he really expected to. He'd let the other ponies go about taking what they wanted from a pile he'd started to create again. He did however take 16 caps, leaving 20 for each other member of the group. "20 caps along with what everypony else claims."
[22:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Definitely no qualms about killin' 'em now," Lemon mumbles, turning back to looting.
[22:26] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Gimme tha' guns. Maybe I can do somethin' with 'em. Hey Mayhem, interessted in a Machete? Doesn't look good though."
[22:26] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We need to keep movin'," Lemon says, turning to address the group at large.
08[22:27] * +Mayhem finally stands up again and turns to the group. "Let me have a look at it later, lass. All i want is getting away from here."
[22:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Yeah, but let's finish tha' here quickly. She goes and nabs the three revolvers and shotguns.
[22:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *quickly."
[22:31] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Mayhem, you gonna hold on to tha ammo again?"
08[22:32] * +Chrome_Veneer pulls out one of the water bottles from his bags and moves out of the room, and toward the metal bridge and water. Taking a drink out of it as he looks in to the polluted river, better than the remains of charred ponies.
[22:33] <+Mayhem> "Sure."
08[22:33] * +Mayhem again stuff her bags full of all the ammo.
08[22:35] * +Blueberry_Muffin can already feel the weight of what she carries in her saddlebags
[22:35] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We got everythin'?"
12[22:44] <~Damhoof>  ----------------------------------------------------------Session9.-----------------------------------------------
12[22:44] <~Damhoof>  for killing 3 raiders 370 xp.
12[20:04] <~Damhoof>  -----------------------------------------------------------------------Session10--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12[20:07] <~Damhoof>  After having ambushed the remaining raiders chasing them the group is faced with what comes natural. Their mooks have been beaten, but the main force is still there as mysterious as ever. The mare with the golden choker might have been a warning sign as to what to expect. Clearly somebody that attracts such a fanatical devotee might be highly charismatic or just a very commanding presence.
12[20:07] <~Damhoof>  For such a valuable neckpiece, the crew has yet to make a move to remove it for future sale.
08[20:10] * +Blueberry_Muffin examines the necklpiece
08[20:11] * +Lemon_Cookie stands next to his sister, interested in what she's doing.
08[20:11] * +Chrome_Veneer was waiting by the water while the rest finished dividing up what they wanted of the raiders. He drank his second bottle of water and headed back toward the small room where they'd been originally.
[20:13] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "It looks shiny. I wonder what it's worth."
[20:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm."
08[20:14] * +Lemon_Cookie leans in to inspect the piece.
12[20:16] <~Damhoof>  Blueberry_Muffin finds the golden gleaming necklace with intriquate tribal markings alluring to her gaze, and the smoldering corpse seems to be still reeking of ash and death.
08[20:16] * +Blueberry_Muffin tries to get it off from the corpse.
08[20:16] * +Mayhem pops open a Sparkle Cola and eagerly drinks the whole bottle.
[20:17] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm. Wonder how they got it on there..."
[20:18] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... ya' mind takin' ya' hoof off so I can see tha' whole thing, sis?"
08[20:18] * +Lemon_Cookie inspects the necklace closely, but doesn't touch it.
08[20:19] * +Blueberry_Muffin grumbles and lets go of it
08[20:19] * +Lemon_Cookie The twins seem immune to the smell of death. Scavvers. Go figure.
12[20:23] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_Cookie`s intellect already grasps the idea of a cult following having a wardrobe of items with strange markings to commemorate whatever object of worship they are devoted towards, and his attention is drawn to the front, sides, and back of the choker which all have round and sleek oval like shapes radiating tribal flames. Like eggs of some sort. Maybe a balefire cult?
[20:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm. Some kind a'... raidant egg symbols."
08[20:24] * +Lemon_Cookie has never seen a balefire egg.
08[20:25] * +Blueberry_Muffin examines the necklass and tries to determine the value
12[20:25] <~Damhoof>  The choker is heavy to the touch, and not entirely practical to wear at all. Almost unbearably so. She must have been in a constant state of need for further air.
08[20:27] * +Lemon_Cookie wonders if the eggs have anything to do with sea ponies.
[20:28] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Eggs huh? Well, I got no clue to what it could be worth."
[20:28] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Pretty shiny. Might be brass a' gold."
[20:29] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I bet it's gold. Melted down, that could bring us a fortune."
[20:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Not all gold's pure, sis."
[20:29] <+Lemon_Cookie> "'Specially not jewelery gold."
08[20:30] * +Chrome_Veneer stops near where the zebra mare that Lemon destroyed was at, seeing the two of them discussing something, but didn't try interupting.
[20:30] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Okay, so it's gold an' silver. An' then there are still tha' gems."
[20:30] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... what gems?"
[20:32] <+Blueberry_Muffin> (redact gems part)
[20:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> [likewise]
08[20:32] * +Lemon_Cookie doesn't really want to touch the thing.
[20:33] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Well, at any rate, I want ta' take it with us. Could bring us a boatload a' caps."
[20:34] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Sure. Ya' got somethin' I coul-- wait."
08[20:34] * +Chrome_Veneer passes by to the far end of the hall.
08[20:34] * +Lemon_Cookie removes the messy neckerchief from his pack, levitating it out.
[20:34] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Got it."
[20:35] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Now, let's see about removin' this thing..."
08[20:35] * +Blueberry_Muffin contemplates "If we bring it ta' a museum of some sorts..." (barter price consideration)
12[20:38] <~Damhoof>  The choker seem to have been welded shut around her neck, which would imply that they would have to remove her head to pull it off.
[20:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Hm."
[20:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... go get Mayhem's laspistol for me, would ya' sis?"
15[20:39] * ColdStoragesIceBox is now known as ColdStorage
[20:39] <+Lemon_Cookie> "This thing's welded shut."
[20:39] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Well, I got a machete... Jus' sayin'."
[20:40] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Believe me. Usin' a magiweapon would be easier."
[20:40] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Fine, I'll go an' get it." SHe trots off "Mayhem, could I borrow ya' pistol?"
15[20:40] * +ColdStorage ([email protected]) has left #foesand
15[20:45] * ColdStorage ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
[20:45] <+Mayhem> "Mh? Fer what? Can't I jes do it meself?"
12[20:45] <~Damhoof>  Chrome_Veneer reaches the end of the sloping hallway, and finds homself staring at a large, shapely room. Most of which is hidden by two large pillars supporting the roof. It is darker here, and the smoldering torches around these pillars indicate that the darkness here was hastily applied after the raiders went to attack them. A distraction mayhaps.
12[20:46] <~Damhoof>
[20:46] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "I need ya' magiplas pistol. My bro wants ta' weld somethin'."
12[20:47] <~Damhoof>  Mayhem is greeted by the twins sitting around the mare with the golden choker that attempted to suicide on top of them, and their purpose is clear. They intend to remove the choker.
08[20:48] * +Mayhem raises an eyebrow. "Does he even know, how to handel that thing? Just let me do it."
[20:48] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm, ya' can discuss tha' with him."
08[20:49] * +Chrome_Veneer doesn't dare venture too far from the group, but is still eager to continue onward. He wanted to hurry and return the pearl to the sea as soon as possible, it having been so far away in this desert for so long.
08[20:50] * +Mayhem walks over to the downed zebra and pulls out her MLP. "So what ye want me ta do?"
08[20:50] * +Blueberry_Muffin follows
[20:51] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Jus' blast tha' metal right here." He points to the thinnest part of the necklace. "Should be enough ta' weaken it, so we can bend it open an' take it off."
08[20:54] * +Mayhem looks at the collar, then turns a few knobs on the gun, setting the focuspoint and intensity just right. She aims carefully and fires. The beam cuts neatly through the metal, but doesn't singe the zebra's flesh at all.
12[20:55] <~Damhoof>  The collar is lightly melted open to Mayhems blast of energy.
[20:56] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Thanks."
[20:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Thanks a lot. No ta' pry it open..."
[20:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> *Now
[20:57] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Help me out here, would ya'?" Lemon asks both Mayhem and Blueberry, tugging on the side of the necklace.
08[20:57] * +Blueberry_Muffin bites on one end of the necklace "Reafy."
08[20:58] * +Mayhem grips both ends of the necklace and pulls on it.
08[20:58] * +Blueberry_Muffin pulls
08[20:59] * +Lemon_Cookie can't seem to manage it with normal strength, so he tries with his telekinesis.
12[21:00] <~Damhoof>  The collar seems to clack open to their pushing, in a strange bent shape, revealing that most of the filling inside is regular iron.
[21:01] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Oh come on! It's jus' plated?"
[21:01] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Welp."
08[21:01] * +Lemon_Cookie wraps it up in his neckerchief anyway.
12[21:01] <~Damhoof>  Blueberry`s head does a quick calculation and it comes down to just about maybe 50 caps for the metal.
[21:02] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Uhm, Mayhem, that reminds me. Can ya' give me that .357 ammo please?"
[21:02] <+Mayhem> "Sure" she hands over the ammo.
[21:02] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "That thing ain't worth shit guys. Fifty caps maybe. Maybe it got some tribal value."
08[21:03] * +Blueberry_Muffin takes the rounds an loads one of the revolvers, which she then places in a holster strapped across her chest
[21:03] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Might be useful."
[21:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' got any twenty-two long-rifle, Mayhem?"
12[21:04] <~Damhoof>  Chrome_Veneer can hear a strange shuffling and creaking sound coming from the roof, and dust spills down on the floor. Something ghasps and metal briefly clacks against the floor. Echoing their position to somewhere on his right.
12[21:04] <~Damhoof>  Hidden by the pillar.
[21:05] <+Mayhem> "Aye, there ye go."
08[21:06] * +Lemon_Cookie levitates the loose rounds into a pouch.
08[21:07] * +Chrome_Veneer steps back a few feet, getting a bad feeling of being where he was alone. He turned around and walked back to see the other ponies and if they were still fiddling around with something. "There's something strange in the next room.
08[21:09] * +Blueberry_Muffin grips the handle of her battle saddle and trots to Chrome_Veneer. She calls into the room.. "Hello?"
08[21:10] * +Lemon_Cookie stands next to his sister, pistol drawn and ready.
[21:10] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Chrome, if shit goes south, can ya' cast some magic on my rifle again?"
15[21:10] * Damhoof sets mode: +v ColdStorage
08[21:11] * +Mayhem follow the other ponies, drawing her sword again. Someone had to cover for melee.
08[21:11] * +Chrome_Veneer nods, "But it will be a different kind, i can make you fire faster. But the next room, something is causing dust to fall from the roof. Sort of eery..." He stated, walking back to end of the hall.
[21:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Chrome. We're done back there."
[21:12] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Nah, I prefer tha' fire spell thingy."
08[21:13] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, "Alright, if you say so."
08[21:13] * +ColdStorage There's more scraping against metal above as Cold tests her wight on the next grate in the ventilation system.  Handy the old thing was large enough she could slip through.
08[21:14] * +Chrome_Veneer looked around, "That noise."
08[21:14] * +Blueberry_Muffin perks up her ear
[21:15] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... what is that?" Lemon mutters.
[21:16] <+Mayhem> "Sounds like hoofsteps ta me."
08[21:16] * +Chrome_Veneer shook his head, "Hoof...steps? That scraping of metal sound?"
08[21:16] * +Lemon_Cookie looks up into the darkness.
[21:16] <+Mayhem> "Neigh, not tha'"
12[21:17] <~Damhoof>  The Group eyes a spacious hall, with large pillars hiding much of the side interior. Smoldering torches on these pillars indicate a hasty shutting out of light, and more dust falls down from the roof. Outside of the light provided by being used to the darkness the world is one of shades and eerie danger.
08[21:18] * +Lemon_Cookie closes his eyes and begins to cast light-- emerald green illumination throws itself into the darkness.
08[21:18] * +ColdStorage presses her muzzle against it.  Looked like there was an empty room below, some sort of hall filled with upright supports for cover.
[21:18] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Light plea-. Thank ya'."
12[21:19] <~Damhoof>  Mayhem can hear a light bubbling sound, and smoke presumably from the emptied torches swirl amongst the recently falling dust.
08[21:21] * +Blueberry_Muffin makes a few steps forward into the room, looking all around for clues
08[21:21] * +Lemon_Cookie keeps close to his sister, adding another pair of eyes and ears to the search as well as providing light for her.
[21:22] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hello? Anypony home?"
12[21:23] <~Damhoof>  Coldstorage sees the hall in all its ancient glory. To her front was a strange stone slab chair, seemingly cut from the mountain with swirling glinting colors, and to her left is a large four pony long cauldron surrounded by glowing coals, spewing with a lithe, dark green, bubbling fluid.
08[21:24] * +Chrome_Veneer took a few steps in to the room, seeing if he could see what was causing the scraping he heard above them.
08[21:24] * +Mayhem sniffs in the air lightly. A bubbling sound meant liquid. Liquids usually smell.
12[21:25] <~Damhoof>  ColdStorage can hear the shouting of BLueberry_Muffin, and the emerald light of her brother shines brightly compared with the rest of the room.
08[21:25] * +ColdStorage presses a taloned hoof against the grate again when the little ponies start calling out.  Gritting her teeth, she looks around some more.  She'll have to kill any raider down there soon after hitting the grou- of fucking unicorn.
12[21:26] <~Damhoof>  It is almost as if Mayhems nose is being coated in a bland odourless fume. Even her party seems to start not smelling.
08[21:27] * +Mayhem suddenly realizes, she doesn't smell anything anymore. She looks around a second, making sure nopony can see her, then examines her nose with the fingers of her free hand.
08[21:28] * +Lemon_Cookie keeps alert for raiders.
[21:28] <+ColdStorage> *oh
12[21:28] <~Damhoof>  Mayhems nose is fine. Its just that something is blocking her ability to smell scents.
08[21:28] * +Lemon_Cookie He also realizes walking around with a giant flashlight plastered to his face might not be so smart.
08[21:29] * +Chrome_Veneer rubs face with a hoof, wondering if something was wrong with him but ignoring it. "Any idea where that scratching was coming from?"
[21:29] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "No idea, but I'm all ear for suggestions. With tha' one I have anyway."
08[21:30] * +ColdStorage presses down once for a test.  The voices are enough of a directional indicator for her; if she swoops down, she should be able to rip through them before they can fire back.  Unicorn first.  Pulling back, Cold slams her forehooves into the grate
08[21:30] * +Mayhem shruggin, she squints her eyes and tries to see somthing in the darkness above.
[21:31] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Hello?"
08[21:31] * +Lemon_Cookie looks up at the smashing sound.
08[21:31] * +Chrome_Veneer follows everypony else's gaze up at the smashing sound as well.
08[21:31] * +Blueberry_Muffin looks in the general direction and grips her battle saddle
08[21:31] * +Blueberry_Muffin whispers "Light out and scatter!"
08[21:32] * +Lemon_Cookie cuts his light, the disappearance like a single strobe.
08[21:34] * +Mayhem readies her blade for a cut overhead.
08[21:34] * +Lemon_Cookie summons a mess of Arcane Daggers as he runs, the jagged pieces of hard emerald light suddenly appearing all around his body.
12[21:34] <~Damhoof>  The air feels thick and humid inside of this room, ColdStorage feels faint at heart, as she has been crawling in this humid experienc e for about an hour. The grate falls from the roof with little effort, dragging Coldstorage with it. The pegasus flutters helplessly in the air for a moment. Over half her body now exposed to the party below.
08[21:35] * +Chrome_Veneer pulls out and bites now on his laser pistol as well, but not eager to fire it.
[21:36] <+ColdStorage> "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-"
08[21:36] * +Lemon_Cookie has to really concentrate to bring the magic out of himself and manifest as the spell. He's really getting tired...
08[21:37] * +Lemon_Cookie turns towards the unfamiliar voice, getting ready to fire his volley of daggers at a moment's notice.
08[21:37] * +Blueberry_Muffin follows the falling pegasus with her eyes, a partly shocked, partly surprised expression on her face
08[21:37] * +Chrome_Veneer "A pegasus?" Chrome stated the obvious, and seemed to lower his guard thinking she couldn't possibly be with the raiders. Just being a pegasus, really.
08[21:38] * +Mayhem runs towards the fallen pony, wanting to pin her first, before she strikes.
[21:38] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' make one wrong move--" Lemon shouts over at the pegasus. "... an' I'm gonna' make ya' inta' a magic pincushion!"
08[21:39] * +ColdStorage slams into the grate like a pegasus falling from the ceiling.  Ow.
12[21:40] <~Damhoof>  The grate, slamming into the floor signal a sense of tumbling and weightlessness to Coldstorage, as her entire body seems to slip from the roof. Her wing flutters uselessly as she tumbles towards the ground.
08[21:40] * +Lemon_Cookie keeps his daggers arrayed threateningly.
08[21:41] * +Blueberry_Muffin runs up to Mayhem. "One wrong move an' ya' toast."
08[21:41] * +ColdStorage lays there stunned
[21:41] <+ColdStorage> "What?"
08[21:42] * +Chrome_Veneer walks up, much less quickly, to Mayhem and the pegasus. "A pegasus?" He repeats, his gun levitating next to him.
[21:42] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "A pegasus? Lemon, yA' gotta see this!"
[21:42] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' better give us one good reason not ta' shoot ya' ta' pieces."
[21:42] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... an' that's really beside tha' point right now, sis!"
[21:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "We got her outnumbered and outgunned."
08[21:43] * +Mayhem holding the sword right in the pegsus' face, she looks for any obvious weapons.
08[21:43] * +ColdStorage dimly realizes there is a distinct lack of blood, habitual BO, and shitty armor on these raiders.  Shittiest armor.
08[21:44] * +ColdStorage also notes that the mare is correct.
08[21:44] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, trying to see if he could see her cutie mark, which might very well be a wealth of information. He traveled a lot and learned at least a little bit of pegasi. "A pegasus. In the desert... No cloud coverage..." He seemed to speak like a broken record.
[21:44] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Cornered animals are tha' most dangerous type, sis."
12[21:44] <~Damhoof>  Coldstorage feels the pain of the fall grip her body, and her head rings from the fall. Lightheadedness faintly rounds out the damage, and she might need medical attention. That was quite the fall.
[21:45] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "She jus' crashed down from tha' ceiling. Cut her some slack."
08[21:45] * +ColdStorage holds up her hooves, "Um, because I just fell through the ceiling and didn't try to kill everypony?"
[21:45] <+ColdStorage> "Ow."
[21:46] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' do know that this is a raider den, right?"
08[21:46] * +Lemon_Cookie seems to be addressing everyone.
[21:47] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Yeah. Stay sharp guys. Lemon, check her, maybe she's injured."
[21:47] <+ColdStorage> "Yeah, that was kinda the plan.  Smash in, rescue ponies, ecetera," Cold remarks, "Nope, pretty sure I'm injured little lady."
[21:47] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... alright."
08[21:47] * +ColdStorage 's flank is marked by a lightning bolt of burnt flesh.
08[21:48] * +Chrome_Veneer shrugged, letting his weapon put away, not long worried about the pegasus at all, after seeing the flank of the cutie mark. A dashite, and as far as he knew that meant the good type of pegasus, not that he'd ever seen the enclave but only heard stories.
[21:48] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "She's a Dashite!"
[21:48] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Gonna' need ya' ta' keep ya' hooves where I can see 'em, Miss Dashite," Lemon says as he approaches Storage.
[21:49] <+ColdStorage> "They're already up, how much more 'where you can see them' can I get?"
08[21:49] * +ColdStorage she narrows her eyes, "You're the one with the light spell?"
08[21:50] * +ColdStorage or her flank is covered in Stable-Tec approved barding.  Whichever
[21:50] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Was. Now I'm tha' one with tha' eight shards a' meat-mincin' magic pointed at ya'. If ya' let me, I'll also be ya' medic."
[21:51] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Chrome, some light please."
12[21:52] <~Damhoof>  Chrome_Veneer can hear faint whispers coming from his left ear, and his gaze drifts towards a large black bathtub as they approach the pegasus mare further.
08[21:52] * +ColdStorage shrugs, "Sure, take a look.  Make it quick though, we're in the middle of a raider den and I just made a lot of fucking noise."
08[21:53] * +Mayhem retracts her sword arm and instead starts to secure the perimeter. She especially look for other hallways
[21:53] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We've already killed half a' them," Lemon mutters, shucking off his saddlebags and fishing around in them after hesitating a moment, looking at Storage dubiously.
08[21:54] * +Chrome_Veneer stops closing in on the pegasus as Lemon and the others seem to handle her, finding his attention drawn elsewhere. Looking to his left and walking forward a few steps, his own bright silver [Light] illmunating around him as he walked toward where he heard a whisper.
[21:54] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Chrome."
08[21:54] * +Lemon_Cookie has an orange perched on his forehoof.
08[21:54] * +Chrome_Veneer "I hear something." Déjà vu
[21:54] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Crome, where tha' fuck are ya' goin'? I need some light."
[21:55] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Chrome, for fucks sake!"
08[21:55] * +Lemon_Cookie rolls the orange to Storage.
[21:55] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Eat that."
12[21:55] <~Damhoof>  In a Niche made out of the southern wall, an 8-foot-tall, vaguely equine creature made out of fused bones sits on a larger green glinting throne. Four serpentine equines embrace him from various angles, each with scales that twists and whirls in circular patterns. A great stone cauldron sits on the northern side of the chamber, directly across from the throne, as if the statues were watching it.
08[21:55] * +Chrome_Veneer stopped moving before his light left Lemon's area, but was still focused on whatever was over there. Lemon's care for the pegasus trumped his curiosity, but he was still pulled in by something grabbing his attention.
08[21:56] * +ColdStorage obligingly gobbles the orange
[21:57] <+ColdStorage> "That just makes my job easier then."
[21:57] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Wha's ya' job?"
12[21:58] <~Damhoof>  The four serpentine equines embracing the bone made statue seems to be made out of a black shape of rock similar to the wolf manor.
[21:59] <+Mayhem> "What a strange looking totem..."
08[22:00] * +Blueberry_Muffin suddenly decides to put on the Iron Helmet she found earlier. She already lost an ear. No need to risk the second one.
[22:00] <+ColdStorage> "Killing everypony!"
08[22:00] * +Chrome_Veneer "Stay away from it for now... something over there is whispering to me." He stated, normally he would be eager to come closer and find out what but it was clearly something to be taken cautiously.
[22:00] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Tha' pearl maybe?"
08[22:00] * +Chrome_Veneer tries to focus in on the black bathtub to see if he can hear further. "Not sure.
12[22:01] <~Damhoof>  The whispers seem to come from the large bubbling cauldron at the northern wall.
08[22:01] * +ColdStorage looks around the room, "Uh, clearly I stumbled into something you all are more interested in soooo I'll be going!"
08[22:02] * +ColdStorage rolls onto her hooves
08[22:02] * +Mayhem carefully pokes the bones with the sword.
08[22:02] * +Chrome_Veneer figured it was safe for him to let his light leave Lemon's need, and took a few more steps northeast, toward the tub. Slowly, trying to listen in to hear something more clear.
12[22:03] <~Damhoof>  The bones seem to be methodically molted and fused together in a crude and yet strong fashion.
08[22:04] * +ColdStorage doesn't have time for the local's habits of filling any large, old room with creepy dangerous shit.
12[22:04] <~Damhoof>  Mayhems poke strikes the bone. Which sturdily responds in kind with a resounding creak.
08[22:04] * +Lemon_Cookie keeps his face to ColdStorage, watching her.
[22:04] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Ya' here fa' tha' bounty?"
08[22:05] * +ColdStorage nods and starts looking for a door
[22:05] <+ColdStorage> "Yeah, but looks like you all've got it claimed."
08[22:05] * +ColdStorage she wiggles her wings
[22:05] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Yeah."
[22:06] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... ya' think it's smart ta' jus'... run off inta' a raider's den?"
08[22:06] * +Chrome_Veneer is now standing just over the cauldron, "Hello?" He asked quietly, to the cauldron.
[22:07] <+ColdStorage> "Well, like, actually claimed.  Guess I'll be going then!" she adds, edging towards the door the group entered from.  She rolls her eyes at Lemon, "Yep, full on sprint right through.  That's why I was in the ducts."
12[22:07] <~Damhoof>  As Chrome_Veneer gets close enough to the cauldron to look inside the bubbling wather the whisper turns into a scream, and his mind flashes back to a strange scenery of four seaponies being boiled alive. His head rings out with the brunt of their pain and suffering, as they scream for their misstress UL-Athra. Cursing her name while their bodies boil.
08[22:08] * +Lemon_Cookie just gives Storage a flat look.
[22:08] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Yeah. Bye."
08[22:08] * +ColdStorage gives a dull look back
[22:08] <+ColdStorage> "Yeah.  Bye."
08[22:09] * +Chrome_Veneer relays the scream, or rather a loud panic yell as he stumbles a few feet back from the cauldron, almost falling over in tears.
[22:09] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Now wait a- Chrome!" She runs over to him "Ya' alright?"
08[22:09] * +Lemon_Cookie looks over to Chrome. If this was more freaky-ass seapony shit...
[22:09] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Are ya' really that stupid? Jus' runnin off."
08[22:10] * +ColdStorage stops mid step in suprise at Chrome's cry
08[22:10] * +Mayhem spins her haed around at the scream. "Wha's wrong with 'im?
12[22:10] <~Damhoof>  Mayhems eyes are drawn to the head of the flesh statue, and as Chrome_veneer stumbles away from the cauldron its head cracks to one side, and then the other. Grunting aloud and alerting the party to its unholy presence.
[22:10] <+ColdStorage> "Yeah, bye, before this freaky shit eats me."
08[22:10] * +Chrome_Veneer "The ponies... they were being boiled alive! And their screams..." He was more worried of their pain than his own that he got from them.
[22:10] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Pardon me?"
08[22:10] * +Lemon_Cookie raises his eyebrows at that cracking sound.
[22:11] <+ColdStorage> "No no no no /no/!"
08[22:11] * +ColdStorage wheels towards the sound of bones cracking
08[22:11] * +Mayhem spins around again, eyes wide. "Oh shit! Lads! Big problem! Big bad totem problem!" She backs away from the golem.
[22:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... fuckin' shitfuck," mutters.
08[22:11] * +Blueberry_Muffin yanks her head around "Oh crap..."
[22:11] <+Lemon_Cookie> he mutters.*]
08[22:11] * +Chrome_Veneer "Those four, those four... they were boiled to death and..." He looks toward the statues he was pointing to. "Boiled... alive..."
08[22:11] * +Lemon_Cookie growls.
08[22:12] * +ColdStorage growls to Lemon, "Do your people always touch freaky ancient seapony shit?"
[22:12] <+Lemon_Cookie> "They're all fuckin' idiots, so yes. Yes they do."
[22:13] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Everypony! Run!"
[22:14] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Everypony outta here! Gogogo!"
[22:14] <+ColdStorage> "Doors!?" she asks Lemon
[22:14] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Behind us!"
08[22:14] * +Mayhem sprints back to the hallway, they came from.
12[22:14] <~Damhoof>  The beast grunts once more, a eerie familliar echo from Chrome_veneers perspective, and its spiteful eyes seem to overflow with fury.
08[22:14] * +Lemon_Cookie aims his daggers at the thing and lets fly.
08[22:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin sprints after Mayhem "Shitshitshit!"
08[22:15] * +ColdStorage pops into the air and shoots towards it
08[22:15] * +Blueberry_Muffin turns around and aims at the golem thing. "Chrome! Firemagic! Now!"
[22:16] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Or any magic!"
08[22:16] * +Chrome_Veneer seems frozen up for a moment, particularly in response to the beast's grunt and the feeling of its spite towards him.
15[22:18] * +Chrome_Veneer ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
08[22:18] * +ColdStorage looks over her shoulder at the ponies.  She sweeps around the pillars away from the door, momentarily distracted by the frozen Chrome.  Idiot!
15[22:18] * Kroama ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
15[22:18] * Damhoof sets mode: +v Kroama
15[22:18] * Kroama is now known as Chrome_Veneer
15[22:21] * +Chrome_Veneer ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
08[22:21] * +ColdStorage climbs towards the ceiling away from whatever the hell /that/ is, "What the actual fuuuuck!?"
15[22:21] * Kroama ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
15[22:21] * Damhoof sets mode: +v Kroama
15[22:21] * Kroama is now known as Chrome_Veneer
[22:26] <+Mayhem> "Ye ponies drive me crazy. Just say it from tha' start, when ye going ta attack it!"
08[22:26] * +ColdStorage really doesn't want to get involved with these foals or fighting some sort of witch-made giant bone monster.  However, the option seemed to be chased by it after the golem inevitably killed the three unicorns.
08[22:26] * +Chrome_Veneer moves a little closer to Blueberry_Muffin and brings his horn down to her weapon on the saddle, enchanting all of the currently loaded ammo. [Spirit of Flame]. "Ul-athra?" He asked, the room mainly. Whatever, he had to start this off now. Raising his laser pistol he fired off a single steady shot up at the beast.
[22:28] <+ColdStorage> *killed all of them.
12[22:31] <~Damhoof>  The beast seemingly ignores the bright colored beam of light as the arcane energies burn and inflict damage to the molting and warped bones on its right leg. It howls once more with a similar tone as the one from the cauldron.
08[22:31] * +ColdStorage winces
[22:32] <+Lemon_Cookie> "We're so fucked..." Lemon mutters.
08[22:32] * +Chrome_Veneer brings his attention to the cauldron again.
[22:33] <+ColdStorage> "I'm hoping not literally."
12[22:34] <~Damhoof>  The cauldron bubbles with the heat provided by the coal underneath it.
08[22:34] * +ColdStorage feels really, really, really dumb for not following the minotaur the hell out of here.
08[22:40] * +ColdStorage notices that, "What's that pot for!?"
[22:43] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sorry, busy shootin' stuff! Lemon'S the thinker."
08[22:44] * +Mayhem charges the thing and takes three swings at it.
[22:44] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... a cauldron's usually a magical nexus."
08[22:44] * +Chrome_Veneer keeps his attention on the cauldron, "It's the cursed pot which boiled the ponies that were a part of that statue earlier." He purposely called the sea ponies, just ponies, "We need to remove it from the fire." Or at least in his mind, spill out the contents of that cursed boiling water that cooked the Sea Ponies alive.
08[22:44] * +Lemon_Cookie inhales deeply, readying his spell.
[22:44] <+ColdStorage> "Oh gross!"
12[22:48] <~Damhoof>  Mayhems blade swings with purpose and sharpness at the bone construct. Cutting at the meat but bouncing back and sliding across its bones.
08[22:48] * +Blueberry_Muffin lines up two steadied shots at the monstrosity. She didn't want the enchanted ammo to go to waste.
12[22:52] <~Damhoof>  The flesh creature roars once more with the pain of tortured seaponies as Blueberry`s enchanted bullets pierce its right hindleg. The bullets seem to lick against the warped flesh and molt away at its probably rotted muscular tissue.
08[22:52] * +Lemon_Cookie sends his eight daggers flying at the thing, aiming for nowhere in particular.
12[22:55] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_cookies daggers imbed themselves across a section of the wall.
[22:56] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... fucking shit! Augh!" Lemon hollers as he lets his displeasure be known.
08[22:57] * +Lemon_Cookie draws his pistol in his mouth and rattles off two shots at the beast.
08[22:59] * +ColdStorage flaps her wings a few more times, building up her power before tipping over to dive at it's head.
12[23:00] <~Damhoof>  The beast groans and once more roars in annoyance over Lemon_Cookie`s bullet impacts its boned forehead.
08[23:01] * +ColdStorage zooms in, talons crackling
08[23:09] * +ColdStorage crashes into the monster's face at high speed, swinging forehooves slashing at it's face and wings bashing in with her.
12[23:09] <~Damhoof>  Coldstorages talon hooves crackle loudly as the arcane energy laced spikes imbed themselves into its huge face twice. It roars with fury as its cheek and left eye seem to sizzle and roast with electrical heat.
[23:10] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... jeez."
[23:12] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Booyaah!"
08[23:13] * +Chrome_Veneer tears up again, every time the creature speaks out in pain it seems to inflict a sorrow to him.
08[23:14] * +ColdStorage rips her talons back out and lifts up on healed wings.  Thanks mystery stallion!
12[23:16] <~Damhoof>  Halfblind and shaking its head with confusion the beast lunghes out at Mayhem with the brunt of its might. Rearing its forehooves at the minotaur.
15[23:17] * +ColdStorage ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
15[23:23] * ApricotCordial ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
08[23:23] * +Chrome_Veneer questions his own telekinetic prowess, and the size of the cauldron and the amount of water it contained.
12[23:24] <~Damhoof>  Mayhem feels a terrible force slam into her right thigh and she spins around weightlessly in the air for but an instant before landing on the floor. The beast howls once more and charges foward in an injured and sloping fashion. Slamming its body into lemon cookie.
[23:24] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Oh f--!"
08[23:25] * +Lemon_Cookie gets slammed.
08[23:25] * +Mayhem cries out in pain.
[23:25] <ApricotCordial> "Oh shit!"
15[23:26] * ApricotCordial is now known as ColdStorage
[23:26] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Lemon!"
[23:27] <+Lemon_Cookie> "Fuckin' shit!" Lemon shouts, skidding across the ground, staggering but not quite falling over.
15[23:29] * ColdStorage ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving.)
[23:31] <+Lemon_Cookie> "... I think I broke a rib a' somethin'," he mutters, trying not to curl-up in pain at the massive hit.
[23:32] <+Mayhem> "Ye basterd are going ta pay fer this!"
15[23:37] * ApricotCordial ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
08[23:38] * +Chrome_Veneer horn lights up with a silver glow as he pulls telekinetically across the coal bed, shoveling off a large amount of the scolding hot rocks from the base of the cauldron, observing for an immediate reaction to the boil of the cauldron and status of the giant.
15[23:39] * ApricotCordial is now known as ColdStorage
12[23:39] <~Damhoof>  The large bone construct bellows another painfilled roar, but the spiritual agony aspect of its cry seems diminished and as the roar ends it staggers with its previous injuries, sagging its head.
08[23:41] * +Chrome_Veneer feels the pain of what he's about to do, but surely it'll be nothing to what the sea ponies he saw had happened to them earlier. He rushed next to the cauldron and pushing as many of the coals out of the way with his hooves as he can.
08[23:41] * +Chrome_Veneer "We need to put out the fire."
12[23:44] <~Damhoof>  Chrome_veneer feel the coal burn and tear at his coat and cloak.
12[23:45] <~Damhoof>  As more and more coal gets shoveled away by his frantic hooves.
08[23:48] * +Mayhem stands up and charges again, attempting to climb on the beast's back.
12[23:54] <~Damhoof>  Mayhem charges forward, grabbing the creatures mangled tailpiece to push herself onto its back.
Session Ident: #foesand
12[00:02] <~Damhoof>  Mayhems blade imbeds itself deeply into its brain via an entrance next to its ear, and the creature roars back with a near unholy defiance to her desire for murder while taking a staggering step towards the now burning chrome_Veneer.
08[00:02] * +Blueberry_Muffin lines up another two steadied shots at the monster. She wants to spend the enchanted ammo and cause as much damage as possible!
12[00:04] <~Damhoof>  Blueberry_Muffins bullet penetrates its rough and meatfilled chest, and her second bullet zing past Mayhem as she keeps herself on top of the beast.
[00:04] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Sorry!"
08[00:05] * +Mayhem is too concentrated to keep ontop of the beast to worry about bullets zipping past.
08[00:07] * +Lemon_Cookie inhales, then casts from his last reserves of strength. The blue and orange beams fly straight for the beast's eyes (Called Shots).
15[00:09] * ColdStorage ([email protected]) has left #foesand
15[00:09] * ColdStorage ([email protected]) has joined #foesand
12[00:09] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_Cookies arcane beams fly true, leaving the beast with useless pieces of melting flesh instead of eyes. It cries out with fury and looks around for enemies but seems to find nopony.
15[00:10] * Damhoof sets mode: +v ColdStorage
08[00:11] * +Chrome_Veneer peers over from his work on the cauldron for a moment, with an apologetic gaze to the horrific beast.
[00:12] <+ColdStorage> "The minotaur and I have this!  You all help put out the fire!" Cold calls out, her talons flickering with magic energy.  There's only one direction to go.  Cold drops straight down onto the monster's head.
08[00:20] * +Lemon_Cookie prepares to avoid the monster's attacks.
08[00:21] * +ColdStorage smashes a couple of times before flickering up and back above Mayhem.
[00:22] <+Blueberry_Muffin> "Lemon, get outta there!"
[00:22] <+ColdStorage> "Both of you!"
08[00:22] * +Lemon_Cookie realizes it's falling on him.
08[00:22] * +Lemon_Cookie Shit.
12[00:23] <~Damhoof>  Coldstorages hooves ravage the beasts head once more. Her lightning energy claws frying skin and charring bone. The creature sags, and crumbles over the yellow coated uniocn buck.
08[00:23] * +Lemon_Cookie skedadles.
12[00:24] <~Damhoof>  Lemon_cookie is pushed mostly out of the way by the sheer brunt of the creatures massive mass, but he stumbles forward, and his hindhoof gets trapped in the mindst of bone and death.
