  1. [21:06] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3------------------------------------------------------------------ STAR GROUP PRESESSION INTRO --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  2. 01[21:08] <@NightmareBrony|GM> Now suffer our pack of ponies and zebras two, as they witness terrible sights through and through. Darkly now they must tread, into the borroughs of death, shadowy dread. A peculiar voice beckons them all to come and follow, to this horrible place they know only as... The Hollow.

  8. 01[21:10] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 ~~~~~~******------_______ STAR GROUP NIGHTMARE NIGHT SESSION PART 2 BEGINNING______------******~~~~~~
  9. 06[21:11] * +Dust_Off shivers, "I have a bad feeling about this..."
  10. 06[21:11] * +Calbeck looks down the corridor towards Peach Cider Cobbler Colbert Whatever's room. "Well, at least we're all together again, finally."
  11. 06[21:12] * +Sour_Grape "For now." She says dramatically, still attached firmly to Dust_Off with no intentions of letting go.
  12. 01[21:12] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Last we left our beleagured bunch, they were all reeling from strange hallucinations, most if not all of them being beckoned to a location they only know of as The Hollow. Strangely only one pony in Dune thus far, seems to not disregard the events they've experienced as a simple foals tale. What mysteries does this location present to them? And more importantly... can they assuange themselves of their dreaded visions.
  13. 01[21:13] <@NightmareBrony|GM> They are still within the halls of 'Saint Sucrose Memorial Medical Clinc'. Regrouping the entire party and discussing in the halls outside of Peach Nectar Juice's room how to proceed next.
  14. 01[21:13] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 NIGHTMARE NIGHT BEGIN... MUWAHHAHAHAHAH!
  15. 01[21:14] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off stills sees to her disgust and absolute anxiety the blood still dripping down the cracks of the ceiling, though nobody else can see what the pegasus witnesses.
  16. 06[21:15] * +Dust_Off shivers again, "Oh-okay..." Her gaze follows the dripping blood. "We have to shelve the investigation."
  17. 06[21:15] * +Calbeck turns to Sagittis. "Any news on your end?"
  18. [21:16] <+Slag_Heap> /me still looks pissed.
  19. 06[21:16] * +Sagittis blinks at Calbeck. "I told you. More odd stuff. I found a mare who knew something about The Hollow and the mare we need to talk to is not dead."
  20. 06[21:17] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, "Someone knows about this Hollow?"
  21. 01[21:18] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis can once again hear whispering... again... with the whispering why wouldn't it stop? For now it was quiet though... it didn't seem like it was getting any louder.
  22. 06[21:18] * +Sour_Grape "We should intererogate'em///
  23. 06[21:18] * +Slag_Heap grumbles.
  24. [21:18] <+Sour_Grape> ...*
  25. 06[21:19] * +Sagittis rools his eyes. "Yes. As I said, the mare who liked petting me." He looks to Sour_Grape. "Maybe some other time. She is in no state at the moment."
  26. 01[21:19] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape says those words, she can see through the stained glass of Peach Nectar's door window a large shaded equine figure.
  27. 06[21:20] * +Sour_Grape notices the figure and stares at it... what were they doing there
  28. 06[21:21] * +Dust_Off sighs, "Dammit, well what did she say?"
  29. 01[21:22] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As the filly stares at the silhouette equine figure, it suddenly makes a tremendous thudding sound with what she swears is that face from her nightmare earlier, though it is obscurred by the stained glass, distorting it. She can distinctly hear a voice emnate within, "Little foal playing her game.... Little foal hiding her shame...."
  30. 01[21:22] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Nobody else in the group can hear any of said noises.
  31. 06[21:23] * +Sour_Grape gulps and tears her eyes away from the figure and burries her face in Dust's mane. She tries to reassure herself it's not really by reapting 'it's not real' over and over.
  32. 02[21:23] * Keen ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  33. 06[21:24] * +Sagittis has already shared this, but does so again. "She went on about how it is filled with angry spirits and dark magic. But she was too traumatized to give me more. With how she reacted, I would hazard a guess that she had been there."
  34. 06[21:24] * +Calbeck reaches out a hoof to pet Sour lightly. "S'okay, we're here."
  35. 06[21:26] * +Sagittis looks up to Sour_Grape and sighs, doing what he can to ignore the whispers. "We should get out of here as soon as we can."
  36. 06[21:27] * +Sour_Grape sniffles a little bit and tries to focus on wat Calbeck is saying, not the freaky voices
  37. 01[21:28] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape focuses on Calbeck, the voices slowly fade.
  38. 01[21:28] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Simiarly, as Sagittis speaks to Sour_Grape, the whispers cede into silence.
  39. 06[21:29] * +Sour_Grape doesn't remove her face from Dust_Off's mane, but does say. "Get out of here... an go where... wanna kill this thing."
  40. [21:29] <+Calbeck> "Sagi's right. Whatever this 'Hollow' is, it's obviously gonna mess with us until we deal with it."
  41. 01[21:29] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off continues to keep her focus on the zebra flufflcolt, the dripping blood is gone, not a drop to be seen.
  42. 06[21:29] * +Dust_Off bites her lip, "Going anywhere will not help. These are afflicting us. We need to stop this...and we have to go to the Hollow. We need that mare."
  43. 01[21:30] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 When Calbeck mentions those words, the entire group hears a low quiet groaning that seems to emnate from the staircase below, getting louder and louder until it suddenly stops.
  44. 06[21:31] * +Slag_Heap looks slightly confused "so... It isn't a pony doing this but a place?"
  45. 06[21:31] * +Slag_Heap looks at the state case and steels himself
  46. [21:31] <+Sour_Grape> staircase*
  47. 06[21:32] * +Dust_Off turns towards stairs, "Pony in a place...eldritch evil...who knows until we find out."
  48. 06[21:32] * +Sour_Grape "Then we kill it."
  49. 01[21:32] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap sees nothing. He, as well as everyone else feels a dramatic temperature shift, cold biting at their bodies, though Sagittis looks unfazed.
  50. 06[21:32] * +Sour_Grape pulls her cape closer at the tempature change
  51. 06[21:33] * +Slag_Heap shivers then growls. "and blow that place sky high."
  52. [21:33] <+Dust_Off> "Exactly, we shoot it in the face...repeatedly..." She feels the cold. "Shit, stand firm."
  53. 01[21:33] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape pulls her cape closer to her body, she can feel something cold and wet on her fetlock and hooves...
  54. 06[21:33] * +Slag_Heap looks back at Dust. "Not until after we break every bone in it'a body."
  55. 06[21:35] * +Sour_Grape brings her hoof over and looks away from Dusty's mane to see what it is
  56. [21:35] <+Dust_Off> "Less sadism more vigilance, Mister Heap." She looks around.
  57. 06[21:35] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "No way. This was a local legend, thus a local problem. We go, and we don't need to deal with it anymore. It didn't hit us till we entered the city anyway." He looks to Sour and Slag. “And if we do, what is to stop it from making us see things that aren’t there and blowing each other up?” He looks to he stairs, then back to the others.
  58. 06[21:35] * @NightmareBrony|GM Sour_Grape sees it's blood.... why was their blood on her cape? She also swears she can feel itching over the exposed portions of her body that her barding didn't cover on her back...
  59. 01[21:36] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Your GM hasn't manifsted himself, nevermind the /me.
  60. 01[21:36] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Or else...
  61. 06[21:36] * +Calbeck blarghs and rolls his eyes. "Eldritch evil. Not THAT old chestnut."
  62. 06[21:36] * +Sour_Grape blinks at the blood. That shouldn't be there she had a bath. And the itching. She looks back to see what is causing it
  63. 06[21:37] * +Slag_Heap growls. "An eye for an eye. Torture him."
  64. 01[21:37] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape removes her cape and looks at the blood, she sees wet, meaty chunks of pony flesh plastering her cloak, with hundreds of smaller ants eating the pieces of meat. When she sees a couple of the ants climb on her hooves and reach her fetlock, it begins to itch...
  65. 12[21:38] * Slag_Heap is now known as SlagimusPrime
  66. 12[21:38] * SlagimusPrime is now known as Slag_Heap
  67. 06[21:39] * +Calbeck shakes out his mane, irritated by the feel of a sudden cold snap than anything else.
  68. 06[21:39] * +Sour_Grape blanches at the ants and stares in fear for a second... then squeals like a little filly and runs around in a circle, ":GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!"
  69. 06[21:39] * +Sagittis reaches out to snatch the running filly.
  70. [21:40] <+Calbeck> "Hey hey hey!"
  71. 06[21:40] * +Calbeck tries to grab Sour as she runs past.
  72. 01[21:41] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Both Sagittis and Calbeck easily catch the terrified filly, her cape now on the floor. To them, it's perfectly fine, nothing out of the ordinary.
  73. 06[21:41] * +Sour_Grape is flailing and fraking out. Someone probably gets kicked in the face.
  74. 06[21:42] * +Calbeck hugs Sour tightly. "It's okay! You're fine! I'm right here, you're okay!"
  75. [21:42] <+Slag_Heap> *freaking
  76. 06[21:42] * +Dust_Off keeps her eyes open and head on a swivel. "Hollow is outside of the city, right?"
  77. 06[21:42] * +Sagittis is likely the one as he is tougher than the soldier... now isn't that sad? He blinks as Roy yanks Sour away from him. "Okay then..."
  78. 06[21:43] * +Slag_Heap is toughest
  79. 06[21:43] * +Calbeck is, however, luckier.
  80. 06[21:43] * +Sour_Grape flails slightly less and gasps, "They're eating me! Stop them!"
  81. 06[21:43] * +Calbeck pats at Sour's hide. "There's nothing on you."
  82. 06[21:44] * +Dust_Off backs up towards the group, still watching over them.
  83. 01[21:44] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off can hear shuffling behind her and strange, familiar whimpering...
  84. 06[21:45] * +Sour_Grape sniffles, "B-but." She goes to look again
  85. 06[21:45] * +Dust_Off tense up not looking behind her, "Mister Calbeck! You are behind me, correct?"
  86. 01[21:45] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape flails and kicks, she hits Calbeck in the side, not really doing much to his armored hide. Sagittis unfortunately manages to get hit in a kink in his nethers from the frantic filly, nailing him in the jewels.
  87. 01[21:45] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Kink in his armored barding that is.
  88. [21:46] <+Dust_Off> *chink in his armored barding.
  89. [21:47] <+Sour_Grape> armoured*
  90. 01[21:47] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Calbeck is currently wrestling a filly down and trying to calm her Dust_Off.... Uh oh.
  91. [21:48] <+Dust_Off> *ARMORED
  92. 06[21:49] * +Dust_Off doesn't like this one bit..."Mister Calbeck..." She looks over her shoulder.
  93. [21:49] <+Calbeck> "Right here..."
  94. 06[21:49] * +Sour_Grape looked back to see if ants were still eating her
  95. [21:49] <+Calbeck> "Sour, look at me."
  96. [21:49] <+Calbeck> "Look in my eyes."
  97. 06[21:50] * +Sagittis grunts and drops to his knees. "Kutomba, punda, mipira, uke, kahaba, kinyesi!"
  98. 01[21:50] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off turns over her shoulder and looks down the hallway towards the source of the noise, she swears for a brief moment she sees an equine figure huddled in the darkness further down... one of the lights seemed to have gone out. The whimpering continues.
  99. 01[21:50] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 This figure is quite small however.
  100. 06[21:52] * +Calbeck coughs into a hoof. "Aw, crap... I'm gonna hate myself fer this, but..."
  101. 01[21:53] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape goes to look at her cape and sees that the ants are gone... just her cape was there.... It still felt so cold.
  102. 06[21:53] * +Dust_Off looks at the figure, "Everyone," She says calmly as she can, "I am hallucinating at the moment."
  103. 06[21:53] * +Calbeck , thankfully distracted for the moment, responds dryly, "We all are, Captain."
  104. 06[21:54] * +Slag_Heap grunts, his leg clanking as he grinds a hoof into the floor.
  105. 06[21:54] * +Sour_Grape frowns and goes to touch the area that felt like it was eaten...
  106. 06[21:54] * +Calbeck pat Sour again. "You okay? I was about to sing a lullaby. Y'don't need that right now, right?"
  107. 01[21:55] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape feels just her back, noticing the blood on her hooves and fetlocks were gone... Her back does still feel sorta itchy.
  108. 06[21:55] * +Calbeck is nodding his head up and down and grinning like an idiot.
  109. 06[21:55] * +Sagittis hisses and gets back up slowly.
  110. [21:55] <+Dust_Off> "No, Gunny, I am at this very moment." She stares at the figure, "We should test Sagittis's theory. This may be localized to the city. We leave, head elsewhere, and if it continues well, we'll have to leave to get to the Hollow it seems."
  111. 06[21:56] * +Sour_Grape sniffles and lifts her cape up to see why it's itchy. She says to Dust_Off, "It worked outside the city gates... we could ask the guard Sagi talked to. Maybe she'd know."
  112. [21:56] <+Calbeck> "Yes, MA'AM."
  113. 01[21:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape can't see her back, but it itches still.
  114. 06[21:57] * +Sagittis gets his armor back on as gingerly as he can.
  115. 01[21:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 What the filly does see, on the portions of her back she can actually see are no ants of blood.
  116. 06[21:58] * +Calbeck stands up and nuzzles Sour lightly. "C'mon, let's get movin'."
  117. 06[21:58] * +Sour_Grape puts her cape back... then looks at Sagittis. "Uh... sorry..."
  118. 06[21:58] * +Dust_Off hasn't moved or looked away, "You are correct, Miss Grape, but the area of effect maybe greater than the gate." She looks at Sagittis, "How bad is this mare?"
  119. 01[21:59] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off hears... a colt's voice speak up quietly from down the darkness, "M-Mommy..." sounding tortured and terrified in tears.
  120. 06[21:59] * +Sagittis grunts and nods to Sour_Grape. he turns to Dust_Off. "Almost catatonic."
  121. 02[21:59] * +Slag_Heap ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
  122. 12[21:59] * HoboSchool is now known as Slag_Heap
  123. 07[21:59] * NightmareBrony|GM sets mode: +v Slag_Heap
  124. 06[22:00] * +Dust_Off scowls at the figure, "Mommy?"
  125. 03[22:00] * Blackout ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  126. 01[22:01] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes that voice sounded.... familiar... she could have sworn she heard it before... briefly.
  127. 06[22:01] * +Sagittis some how snaps non existant fingers. "Dust."
  128. 06[22:01] * +Calbeck blinks at Dust_Off. "You and your mom didn't get along, I take it?"
  129. 06[22:02] * +Dust_Off shakes her head watching figure, "Mother and I are quite happy. No, my hallucination is calling for its Mommy."
  130. 03[22:02] * Blackout ([email protected]) has left #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  131. [22:02] <+Calbeck> "Aaah."
  132. 01[22:03] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off speaks, suddenly something jerks the small equine figure in the darkness away, causing it to shrill out in sheer terror, "MOOOOOMMMMYYYYYYY!" pulling the figure to the right. The rest of the group does indeed see a darkened hallway, but no figure.
  133. 06[22:04] * +Sour_Grape needs somepony to use as a security blanket
  134. 06[22:04] * +Slag_Heap is a very large pony. Good security.
  135. 06[22:04] * +Slag_Heap also needs to rinse and get his chest armour back on.
  136. 06[22:05] * +Calbeck is just standing right now.
  137. 06[22:05] * +Dust_Off grits her teeth and swallows, "It is not real...no...it is not real...let's...let's go." She backs down the hall.
  138. 06[22:06] * +Sagittis tilts his head. "You have a kid?"
  139. 06[22:06] * +Sour_Grape climbs on Roy's back and wraps her forlegs around his neck. Maybe the ants came from Dusty
  140. 06[22:07] * +Calbeck blinks, looks back at Sour, and shakes his mane slightly, getting used to having the filly back there.
  141. 03[22:08] * DarcySupremest ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  142. 06[22:08] * +Calbeck walks along with Dust_Off, careful not to jostle his cargo overmuch.
  143. 06[22:09] * +Slag_Heap takes up the middle of the group, his leg clanking.
  144. 12[22:09] * Calbeck is now known as Roy_Calbeck
  145. 06[22:09] * +Roy_Calbeck belatedly forenames himself.
  146. 12[22:10] * DarcySupremest is now known as Ammy
  147. 07[22:10] * NightmareBrony|GM sets mode: +v Ammy
  148. [22:11] <+Dust_Off> "I do not have a colt. No child at all." She turns around to wath where she's walking. "Let's leave." She walks towards the stairs.
  149. 01[22:13] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off trots to the staricase, being trailed by the group. They make their way outside of the clinic, noting that it was still evening, but the clouds hung heavy for some reason... the cold desert air was strangely frigid... Again Sagittis and to a lesser extent Ammy do not seem too fazed by the cold. Dust_Off once again sees Sandy staring at her with sad eyes of hurt and betrayal.
  150. 06[22:14] * +Sagittis "Okay, back to Glassy flats?"
  151. 01[22:14] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sandy stands far down the road.
  152. 06[22:14] * +Dust_Off looks at Sandy and looks away, "Yes, Glassy Flats for starters."
  153. 06[22:14] * +Slag_Heap "Need to get my gear." he grunts.
  154. [22:15] <+Dust_Off> "Your gear is at the Broken Wheel, I presume?" She glances back towards Sandy.
  155. 06[22:15] * +Ammy looks at Slag "When we get back to Grassy I will finally fix up the armor for all of us and distribute it, this shit is starting to hurt my back..."
  156. 06[22:16] * +Slag_Heap nods at Dust_Off. "Eeyup..." He starts to move toward the inn. "I'll be back soon..."
  157. 06[22:17] * +Dust_Off follows Slag_Heap, "Are you mad? You don't go off by yourself."
  158. 06[22:17] * +Slag_Heap looks back at Dust_Off. "Any volunteers?"
  159. 06[22:18] * +Slag_Heap looks pretty pissed.
  160. 06[22:18] * +Sour_Grape "Dumbass..." She says into Roy's mane.
  161. 06[22:18] * +Sagittis cracks his neack. "Then hurry the fuck up. We are wasting time... You know what? What are you missing?"
  162. 01[22:19] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As the two discuss, they hear a mare's voice speak behind them in a very shaky, fairly frightened voice, "W-Wait... u-uhhh, Oh... Y-Yo-you're a-all.. t-together... G-Good."
  163. [22:19] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Why don't we just all go together?"
  164. 06[22:19] * +Slag_Heap doesn't hear it. But yes. He is a dumbass. Int 4. "My gun and armour." He's only wearing half of his armour.
  165. 06[22:19] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around at the voice. "Hello?"
  166. 06[22:19] * +Sour_Grape "Is someone actually talking to us or is it a halucination..."
  167. 06[22:19] * +Dust_Off looks around for the source of the voice.
  168. 01[22:20] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Both Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off turn, seeing the guard mare that was in Peach Nectar Juice's room, looking absolutely terrified, her body trembling visibly.
  169. 06[22:20] * +Sagittis narrows his eays. "Ten min and I am going without you."
  170. 06[22:21] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, "No one leaves anyone and we stay together." She loos back at the guard, "You know about this? You've experienced it before ?
  171. 06[22:21] * +Slag_Heap nods. "All I need." he grumbles and looks at the guard.
  172. 06[22:23] * +Slag_Heap also needs a volunteer. Preferably not the zebra with several pine cones lodged up his ass.
  173. 01[22:23] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Widens her eyes in fear and gulps, nodding slowly. With tears in her eyes, she speaks, "W-When I was barely a t-teenager... M-M-Me and... ah-and a friend w-went ex-exploring a-along t-the mountain n-next to D-Dune. W-We f-found an o-old m-map a-and photo t-thing with a p-picture of this... p-place."
  174. 01[22:23] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare does this.
  175. 06[22:25] * +Sagittis glances to the mare. "You want to get out of here with us?"
  176. 06[22:25] * +Dust_Off nods "and you stumbled on this...Hollow? Do you have the map and picture? "
  177. 01[22:27] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare grimaces at Sagittis and replies, "I-.. I c-can't g-go-go back. I c-came out be-because y-you sounded like y-you w-were going... I-... I just h-had to make sure y-you di-didn't or h-had s-somepony to go w-with you." Turning her gaze to Dust_Off, the mare reaches into her barding and pulls out a faded old map and folded thick paper, giving it to the pegasus mare. Sniffling she speaks to Dust_Off, "P-P-Please... i-if y-your a-all g-going... m-make s-sure h-he's s-safe."
  178. 06[22:28] * +Dust_Off takes the map, "He?"
  179. 06[22:28] * +Roy_Calbeck raises an eyebrow. "You've just been carrying that around all this time?"
  180. 06[22:29] * +Sagittis shakes his head at the mare. "We are leaving the city. Going to Glassy flats."
  181. 06[22:29] * +Sour_Grape looks at Roy, "Wouldn't you, if you found a map to a den of evil."
  182. 06[22:30] * +Slag_Heap grumbles under his breath. "I'd sell it to some dumbass treasure hunter for a tidy profit..."
  183. 06[22:31] * +Sagittis raises an eyebrow to Slag_Heap. "So, not getting that armor then?"
  184. 01[22:31] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare looks over at Sagittis and trots over to the colt, looking down at him, she says, "H-Him... he's... a n-nice z-zebra." Looking at Roy_Calbeck she sniffs and exasperatedly replies "I, I tried getting rid of it... everytime I did, it a-always appears in my b-barding, or-or somewhere whe-where I can find it!"
  185. 06[22:31] * +Slag_Heap looks back at Sagittis. "You deaf, kid? Cap said I shouldn't go alone."
  186. 01[22:33] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare sits on her haunches and clutches at her head speaking in a desperate tone with tears rolling down her eyes, "I-I j-just... w-want i-it t-to s-stop..."
  187. 06[22:33] * +Roy_Calbeck raises the other eyebrow now.
  188. 06[22:33] * +Dust_Off nods, "We'll keep Sagittis safe. He's one of us, but he's entirely able to handle himself. We should go..." She turns and then stops, "Did the hallucinations stop outside of Dise?"
  189. [22:33] <+Sagittis> (Dune)
  190. [22:34] <+Dust_Off> *Dune
  191. [22:34] <+Roy_Calbeck> (Derp)
  192. 06[22:34] * +Sagittis smiles up at the mare. "Thanks. And as I said, I'll take you as far as Glassy flats, no charge."
  193. 01[22:35] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare looks up and says, "T-The sights... i-it g-gets worse w-when I t-try to l-leave... p-plus, n-no other p-place is as s-safe as D-Dune." looking back to Sagittis she shakes her head and says, "I-I d-don't wanna l-leave... I'm t-too s-scared."
  194. 06[22:36] * +Dust_Off looks at the others, "There goes the leaving plan. We ought face it head on."
  195. 06[22:37] * +Sour_Grape "C'mon Sagi, ya love dealing death an your mortal enemies."
  196. 06[22:38] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs to Dusty. "That's what I've been sayin'."
  197. 06[22:39] * +Slag_Heap waits.
  198. 06[22:39] * +Roy_Calbeck pats his horn lightly. "Of course, that's generally my modus operandi anyways."
  199. 01[22:39] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 When Sour_Grape speaks, Sagittis hears alone, his father's voice speak harshly, "He doesn't want to go because he's a shameful coward. Parading around with adults in order to see his rite completed, disgracing our people."
  200. 01[22:40] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Ammy cannot shake off this intense feeling of dread, as if she's being watched.
  201. 06[22:40] * +Sagittis gives her leg a hug. "You sure? We can barrel through." He looks to Sour_Grape. “I can fight equines, animals, griffins, but this is fighting our own perceptions. Any shots we fire could just as easily end up hitting one of us. We have nothing to stop magic, so as it stands, we can not fight it.” Not listening, not listening.
  202. [22:40] <+Ammy> Ammy timidly peers around, scared of what she was going to see
  203. 01[22:41] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The harsh voice of Sagittis' father snorts and speaks louder to the colt, seemingly trotting around him, "Is that your excuse? As I said. Pathetic. Cowardly. Disgraceful. Taking chems to enhance yourself, because you are simply too weak to do so on your own."
  204. 06[22:41] * +Sour_Grape frowns, if it gets worse leaving she does't want to try barreling through. "Everythin' can get shot Sagi. Besides. Not once have we all seen the exact same thing. Maybe thas the trick."
  205. 01[22:42] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Ammy looks around at the various nearly empty streets of the settlement and buildings, seeing nopony at all, beyond her group, the guard mare, and occassional citizen.
  206. 06[22:42] * +Dust_Off looks at the mare, "We won't make you, but you've been there, and we could use the help. Face this thing and take back your life."
  207. 06[22:43] * +Ammy shakes her head and tries to calm down convinced that she's just barking at shadows
  208. 06[22:44] * +Slag_Heap grinds his hoof into the ground again, getting impatient.
  209. 01[22:45] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Could be worse. Ammy could be barking at the moon instead. The guard mare shakes her head furiously sputtering back, "I-I-I c-can't! Y-- If you've s-seen s-stuff s-so far... y-you k-know how ho-horrible it is! P-Plus... a-actually b-being there... i-its... it's..." she shudders and clutchs her head, looking positively freaked out.
  210. 06[22:47] * +Dust_Off bites her lip, "I won't live with them. I'm going to stop them. I won't let whatever it is use Sandy's memory like this."
  211. 06[22:47] * +Sagittis yells over his shoulder. "Wewe ni mtu ambaye alinifundisha kuwa katika nafasi ya kwanza!" He looks back to Sour_Grape. "And if it has half a brain, we never will. It can make some of us see one thing and others something else, and odds are, it will just get stronger when we are closer."
  212. 06[22:48] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at the guard. "So actually being there isn't just hallucinations?"
  213. 06[22:48] * +Sour_Grape "Exactly! If it makes us all see different, we can confirm what is real and what is not by telling each other what we see. The real stuff is the stuff we all can see."
  214. 06[22:51] * +Sagittis facehoofs. "No, no we can't. It made Roy see that nice guard mare as you bleeding out and I couldn't see her at all, even though we were in the same place."
  215. 01[22:51] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare nods frantically to Roy_Calbeck speaking, "T-There's... a-actual z-zombies... n-not j-just g-ghouls... Z-ZOMBIE PONIES!" the mare jerks at Sagittis' loud yelling and goes to give the colt a hug, wrapping him as firmly as she can, closing her eyes and whispering over and over again into his shoulder, "G-Goddess C-Celes-Celestia, g-grant m-me st-strength. H-help u-us now, i-in our t-time o-of need."
  216. 06[22:51] * +Slag_Heap tenses and rolls his shoulders, getting reeeal impatient.
  217. 06[22:52] * +Sour_Grape says to Sagittis, "EXACTLY! Aren't you listening?"
  218. 06[22:53] * +Sour_Grape says slowly. "If we all see something different. We will know what is real. By telling each other when we see something. IF we all see the same thing. THen it's real. And we can shoot it."
  219. 01[22:54] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis' hears once more his father's voice brate him harshly, "And yet, you are so weak, you've let it taken your body. Poisoning your mind. Look at you now... being cradled... just. like. a. foal."
  220. 06[22:55] * +Sagittis shakes his head. "I am saying, it can make the thing we need to shoot look difrent to all of us, if we can even see it at all."
  221. 06[22:55] * +Roy_Calbeck sits down on his rump and looks up thoughtfully. "Zombie ponies, huh?"
  222. 06[22:55] * +Sour_Grape "Oh. Well shit. But if it does that, then we shoot it anyway just in case?"
  223. 06[22:56] * +Roy_Calbeck lowers his back so Sour doesn't fall off, though.
  224. 01[22:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare nods to Roy_Calbeck saying, "Y-Yes..." her tears still rolling down, as she clutches onto Sagittis.
  225. 06[22:57] * +Sour_Grape "Momma said ya just gotta shoot zombies in the head. They die like anything else."
  226. 06[22:57] * +Sagittis shakes his head at Sour_Grape. "If it has half a brain, we will not be able to see wht we are fighting at all." He bites his fetlock as he is huged. "Si kweli. Si kweli. Si kweli. Si kweli."
  227. 06[22:58] * +Sour_Grape "Well! Maybe it doesn't have half a brain."
  228. 06[22:58] * +Dust_Off shakes her head and looks around, "Sagittis, i don't think we can outrun this. We will have friendly firec but what else can we do?"
  229. 06[22:58] * +Sour_Grape "So stop giving the ancient evil ideas!"
  230. [22:58] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Well... feral ghouls or zombies, however ya wanna call 'em, haven't got a real thought process. But whatever's screwin' with us does."
  231. 06[23:00] * +Sour_Grape would think better if she had mint-als. Some up with a foal proof plan... she jumps off Roy's back onto Dusty's. "Heeey Dust." She whispers
  232. 06[23:01] * +Roy_Calbeck erfs as the filly makes the leap, swaying slightly.
  233. 06[23:01] * +Slag_Heap is still just standing there like the huge tank he is.
  234. [23:02] <+Roy_Calbeck> "So anyways, it can't all be zombie ponies there... or if it is, it's mutant zombie ponies. Ones that make sure maps to their place turn up on folks like our marefriend here."
  235. 06[23:03] * +Sagittis "We can force our way through it."
  236. 06[23:03] * +Dust_Off looks back at Sour, "Yes, Grape?"
  237. 06[23:04] * +Sour_Grape scrunches up her face, "Do you um... still have the um... stuff ya took from me..."
  238. 01[23:05] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The guard mare looks distraught at Roy_Calbeck and responds loudly, "They're /REAL/! They're not like ghouls, they're like /REAL/ zombies!" Letting go of her embrace over Sagittis she sniffles again and says tearfully, "Pl-please d-don't d-die... y-you re-remind me t-too much of my... my friend..." the mare then turns and rushes off dramatically into the clinic.
  239. 06[23:05] * +Roy_Calbeck waves after the mare, "I didn't mean... dammit."
  240. 06[23:06] * +Slag_Heap grumbles. "Can we get movin' now? I want to crush some fucking spines already."
  241. 06[23:07] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "What about this doesn't scream 'bait' ta you guys?"
  242. 01[23:08] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Ammy swears she sees for a brief moment a certain pony staring at her menacingly from an alley... his armor and weaponry similar those of past...
  243. [23:09] <+Roy_Calbeck> "I mean, I wanna hammer these bastards as much as any of you, but let's be extra-careful scoutin' this out, huh?"
  244. 06[23:09] * +Dust_Off looks at Sour_Grape, "We don't have the time to get you clean and we need everyone at their best." She gives the filly one Mintals tin. "That's enough for now. Ask again when you need." She starts walking towards the inn, "Seems like a trap, Sergeant."
  245. 06[23:09] * +Roy_Calbeck follows, as he will.
  246. 06[23:09] * +Ammy starts feeling uneasy stroking her carbine uncomfortably, refusing to go and check until she was sure it was them...
  247. 06[23:09] * +Sour_Grape snatches the tin and eats it greedily. That was much better, "Thank you."
  248. 06[23:10] * +Roy_Calbeck blinks at the filly. "Wat."
  249. 01[23:10] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 When Ammy blinks again, the pony figure is gone. She still can't shake the intense feeling of being watched.
  250. 01[23:12] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis hears one more time his father's voice, his tone full of scorn as he rails against the colt, "Trying to replace your mother are you? Is the one you have not good enough? Or do you need more than one to compensate for your complete lack of being a stallion?"
  251. 06[23:12] * +Slag_Heap nudges Ammy. "You okay?" He almost growls as he starts his way to the inn, bringing up the rear.
  252. 01[23:12] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape opens the tin of mintals, she sees each pill as tiny ants, writhing about stationary...
  253. 06[23:13] * +Dust_Off looks at Roy, "I'm going to control her access to the drugs, but we can't get deal with anything else until we deal with the Hollow."
  254. 06[23:13] * +Ammy jumps slightly "Yeah...I'd....I'm fine, why?" she asks checking glancing at the ally quickly
  255. 12[23:14] * Karina is now known as Kar-Shower
  256. 06[23:14] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Fair enough. I just thought there was more than one pill in a tin."
  257. 06[23:14] * +Slag_Heap looks at Ammy. "You looked like you were hallucinating. I suppose I'm right." he gives her a tiny smile. "But its not real, alright."
  258. 01[23:14] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Once again, Ammy sees nothing in the alley. Instead she sees one of them actually trotting towards them, one solitary pony... staring at her menacingly, never taking his eyes off.
  259. 06[23:14] * +Sour_Grape thinks she knows more about mint-als than Roy
  260. 06[23:14] * +Slag_Heap is still heading off to the inn.
  261. 06[23:15] * +Sagittis clutches his hooves over his ears and hisses.
  262. 06[23:15] * +Roy_Calbeck rubs the back of his mane. "Guess I was never much one fer chems. Hardly ever use 'em."
  263. 06[23:15] * +Sour_Grape "Alright... we go to the inn, then to the Hollow to smash it
  264. 06[23:16] * +Dust_Off sniffs, "As my uncle said, Chemmers aren't Winners." She trudges onto the inn.
  265. 06[23:17] * +Sagittis looks up as they go off. "This is insain!"
  266. 06[23:17] * +Roy_Calbeck begins bobbing his head and humming a cheery tune.
  267. 06[23:18] * +Slag_Heap lumbers his way over and catches up with the group. "Anypony know anything about explosives? Want to level this Hollow like its condemned to hell."
  268. 06[23:19] * +Sour_Grape grumbles and looks back at Sagi, "Well, you can go or leave, but once we stop the nightmares, if you haven't been driven completely insane, come and thank us. It's only polite, ya pansy."
  269. 01[23:19] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck begins to hum, as he does and the group make their way to the Broken carriage wheel, the stallion hears soft, ghostly whispers, "Your friends... will die.... slowly...."
  270. 06[23:19] * +Ammy sweats as she spots the approaching one, her hooves shift to catch up with the others pretending he wasn't there she tried to convince herself it wasn't real, they couldn't have found her...right?
  271. [23:19] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Yeah, sure. Ya light a stick or pull a pin, then throw or run."
  272. 06[23:20] * +Slag_Heap chuckles, deeply. "Good enough for me. As long as its a fuckin big boom." She smirks. "Love seeing things go up in flames..."
  273. 06[23:20] * +Roy_Calbeck looks askance at Slag for a moment.
  274. 06[23:20] * +Dust_Off walks, "Sagittis, you are correct. This is insane, but we have little choice."
  275. 06[23:21] * +Slag_Heap "What? Something on my face?" He looks up. "My mane growing back?"
  276. 01[23:21] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Ammy manages to the best of her abilities to ignore the sight. Even as the pony figure pulls out a rusted, bloodstained axe. Thankfully, the zebra mare manages to surpress her fear long enough for the group to pass and make their way to the Inn for Slag_Heap to collect his gear.
  277. 01[23:22] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Again, Roy_Calbeck hears the ghostly whisper speaking, "They will... all suffer..."
  278. [23:22] <+Dust_Off> "It is like...we are on a railroad..." She looks around, feeling...like she said something wrong...she looks at the inn, "Okay, everyone pack up and get ready to move."
  279. 06[23:22] * +Sagittis stomps his hoof. "Not even going to try to leave? Just walk right into the jaws of almost assured death? That what you mean by little choice?"
  280. 06[23:22] * +Roy_Calbeck hums his tune, turning his attention back to Dusty.
  281. 06[23:23] * +Slag_Heap heads upstairs to the room he dumped his stuff. He takes his chest armour and gives it a quick rinse in the shower, getting the filly's pee out of it, then puts it back on. He collects his battlesaddle and clips it in place. He's ready to leave the room, hoping he doesn't see any hallucinations at all, nope, none.
  282. [23:23] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Already packed, Cap."
  283. 06[23:23] * +Ammy waits in a position inside that would allow her the upper hoof should the pony be real, she tries to make it look as natural as possible but ends up looking slightly off
  284. 06[23:24] * +Sour_Grape "If we do die, it'll be because we're missing out sneaky shock trooper, and when that happens I;m going to haunt the fuck out of you."
  285. 06[23:24] * +Slag_Heap doesn't smell like pee anymore. He used a loooot of soap and cleaning products, ect. Now he just smells like flowers.
  286. 01[23:24] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Slag_Heap cleans his armor and looks up in the mirror he sees a strange striped equine staring at him grinning wickedly... this... striped stallion has cold wicked ice blue eyes, his mane sporting a small Mohawk and ponytail. As the soldier looks through the mirror, the zebra lifts up Daisy's severed head and smiles a most unnerving smile.
  287. 06[23:25] * +Dust_Off waits while the buck showers. "What is taking him so long? He gets ready like a mare..."
  288. 06[23:26] * +Slag_Heap narrows his eyes at the mirror. He refrains from smashing it, knowing its a hallucination. He just stares, keeping his sorrow and rage down. "You're not real." he growls. "If you are, you better strike first, or I'm going to break every bone in your body until I find the real Daisy..."
  289. 06[23:26] * +Sour_Grape "He has'ta do roboty stuff."
  290. 06[23:26] * +Roy_Calbeck stands guard on the hallway while everypony else gets ready, humming his song. Occasionally, he lets a few words slip in, "o/` ...black rum's got a hold on me... hm hmm dog wrapped 'round my leg..."
  291. 06[23:29] * +Dust_Off is ready and waiting with Roy and Grape, "Cybernetics should not take this long."
  292. 01[23:30] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 When Slag_Heap stares and issues his warning, the head of Daisy suddenly opens her eyes and stares right into the stallions own with a pink tinge around the iris'. As Slag stares, he feels his anger give way to fear, slowly, the zebra stallion in the mirror speaks cryptically in a strange otherwordly voice, clearly augmented somehow as it reverberates in a hollow echo, "You be seein your beau soon, as the songs of death sing their tune. You think you know anger? Rage? Hate? They pale to the mysterious stranger, he who waits in his cage... you are all anger him, being so late."
  293. 06[23:31] * +Roy_Calbeck switches his tune. "...see, chameleon, lyin' there in th' sun, run run away..."
  294. 06[23:32] * +Slag_Heap narrows his eyes. Definitely a hallucination. He growls at the pony and turns. He tries his best to hide his fear.
  295. 01[23:32] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck suddenly hears the ghostly whisper speak, "Slag_Heap... is... first.... to join us..."
  296. 06[23:33] * +Sagittis bites his lip and leers at Dust_Off as he is ignored.
  297. 02[23:33] * Shadow ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  298. 06[23:33] * +Roy_Calbeck hums idly."
  299. 06[23:34] * +Dust_Off looks at the leering colt, "What?"
  300. [23:35] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Usta be, when somepony had ta take a piss real bad, they'd call it 'emptying the leg'. Figure that's what he's back there doin'."
  301. 06[23:36] * +Dust_Off snickers at Roy.
  302. 01[23:36] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Slag_Heap resists, his fear deepends only more as the iris of his severed wife begin to glow with brighter intensity, strange pink flames begining to coalesece in her pupils. The zebra stallion approaches slowly, in a jerky motion, speaking, "Fight as much as you wish... your soul will be mine to feast upon my dish... Do not tarry with your pathetic wallow, come..." the stallion then places a hoof on Slag_Heap's shoulder, causing the older buck to gasp and feel a strange frigid sensation, paralyizng his muscles, "To the Hollow!" it screams the last words impossibly loud, causing Slag_Heap to see many horrific images of mutlation and horror... reliving his own sins of past.
  303. 02[23:37] * +Slag_Heap ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
  304. 06[23:37] * +Sagittis "We aren't even going to try options other than almost assured death?"
  305. 03[23:37] * Hobo ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  306. 12[23:37] * Hobo is now known as Slag_Heap
  307. 06[23:39] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "I'm open ta suggestions."
  308. 07[23:40] * NightmareBrony|GM sets mode: +v Slag_Heap
  309. 06[23:40] * +Dust_Off looks at the colt, "I already asked you if you any other idea."
  310. 12[23:40] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
  311. 06[23:40] * +Slag_Heap screams in fear and rage, lashing out at the hallucination. Hallucination or no, he was starting to go beserk.
  312. 06[23:41] * +Roy_Calbeck bolts, running back into the room and then into the bath.
  313. [23:41] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Hey!"
  314. 06[23:41] * +Sagittis "I have been belting out my other idea all night."
  315. 01[23:42] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The group, even those that might be outside can hear Slag_Heap's scream of fear and rage, mainly more of abject terror, as the stallion whinnies.
  316. 06[23:42] * +Roy_Calbeck charges into the bathroom. "Slag! What's the trouble?"
  317. 06[23:42] * +Sour_Grape frowns, "Don't wanna try to levae, it'll get worse..." her ears twitch, "The heck?"
  318. 06[23:44] * +Dust_Off leans around the door jamb to look.
  319. 06[23:44] * +Ammy looks toward the yelling
  320. 06[23:44] * +Sagittis grumbles and looks over to Slag_Heap's exclamation.
  321. 01[23:45] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap is in the bathroom, cleaning himself off, his gear back on, as he screams staring at a mirror with absolute terror in his eyes.
  322. 06[23:47] * +Sagittis "Oh, for the love of fuck." He shoots the mirror with a bottle.
  323. 06[23:47] * +Roy_Calbeck winces, pinning his ears back and squinting his eyes shut reflexively. Yay shrapnel!
  324. 01[23:50] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis shatters the mirror, causing the images in Slag_Heap's mind to end, though now both Roy_Calbeck and the other balding stallion have some nasty mirror fragments in their faces.
  325. 12[23:51] * Kar-Shower is now known as Karina
  326. 01[23:52] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Through sheer luck, Slag_Heap does not get belted with mirror fragments, as he raises his armored forelegs to protect himself.
  327. 06[23:52] * +Dust_Off turns on the colt, "What the hell?! You moron, you fired right next to them with a cannon!" She troops over to examine the two bucks.
  328. 06[23:53] * +Slag_Heap manages to block the shards, the glass bouncing off his armour. He takes several deep breaths then throws up in the sink, tears in his eyes.
  329. 01[23:54] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 For reasons beyond his understanding Slag_Heap now has the intense desire to trot, as if his life depended on it.
  330. 06[23:55] * +Sour_Grape "So... no looking at reflective surfaces."
  331. 06[23:55] * +Slag_Heap breathes heavily and slams a hoof into the wall to try and allieviate that desire. He coughs and spits into the sink after throwing up. "We need to stop this..." he growls deeply. "Tonight."
  332. 06[23:56] * +Roy_Calbeck grimaces, carefully plucking tiny bits of glass from his face with his magic. "Thanks, kid. Really appreciate this."
  333. 06[23:56] * +Dust_Off seems the Heap is unhurt physically. She goes to examine Roy and winces.
  334. 01[23:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes compared to the wounds she's seen her comrades experience, that these mirror fragments were the least of her worries.
  335. 06[23:57] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at Dusty. "It's not that bad, trust me. I'll be fine, but thanks."
  336. 06[23:57] * +Slag_Heap has his gear on. He runs the sink for a few moments, washing away the vomit, then moves to the exit. "Lets go." He says in a low, dark tone, a couple of tears rolling down his cheeks and into his mutton chops.
  337. 06[23:57] * +Sagittis snaps his tail in Dust_Off's direction. "You have no right to call me a moron. He snapped out of it and I didn't get another hoof in my crotch."
  338. 01[23:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The pegasus mare does note that Roy_Calbeck is /very/ lucky/ as one shard of mirror nearly embedded itself into his eyesocket...
  339. 06[23:58] * +Sour_Grape "I said sorry!"
  340. 06[23:59] * +Dust_Off nods at Roy, "You are extremely lucky.." She looks at Sagittis, "You could have blind them, colt. You fired glass at glass they were both looking at."
  341. Session Time: Fri Nov 02 00:00:00 2012
  342. 06[00:01] * +Sagittis snorts.
  343. 01[00:01] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As the rest of the group discusses what just occured, Slag_Heap seems to be moving on without them, making his way out of the Inn. Where was the stallion going?>
  344. 06[00:02] * +Sour_Grape "Maybe we should make sure Slag is okay."
  345. 06[00:04] * +Roy_Calbeck trots after, having gotten the glass out of his face. "C'mon, can't leave him alone like that..."
  346. 06[00:04] * +Dust_Off nods to Grape, "Let's go." She follows after Slag.
  347. 06[00:04] * +Ammy see's Slag leaving reluctant to follow she steps out and follows "Where are you going without everyone else?" she asks
  348. 06[00:04] * +Slag_Heap is just walking. He doesn't know where, but something seemed right... well, better, about this route.
  349. 06[00:04] * +Slag_Heap grumbles. "To finish this."
  350. 06[00:05] * +Slag_Heap could reeeeeeeeeeeeally use a cigar right about now...
  351. 01[00:05] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 When Sagittis looks into the mirror fragments, he swears for a moment he sees his father standing over him, with a most disapproving expression.
  352. 06[00:06] * +Sagittis shakes his head and looks over as everyone seems to just start following Slag_Heap.
  353. 06[00:09] * +Sour_Grape "Lets just go kill it!"
  354. 06[00:09] * +Roy_Calbeck catches up to Slag_Heap before long. "So, where ya goin'?"
  355. 06[00:09] * +Sour_Grape "Follow the map, and onward."
  356. 06[00:10] * +Slag_Heap "I don't know." He mutters. "This way."
  357. 06[00:10] * +Dust_Off gets in front of Slag_Heap and blocks his parh, "Hold on."
  358. 06[00:10] * +Roy_Calbeck looks forward, then back to Slag. "And...?"
  359. 06[00:10] * +Slag_Heap stops. "What."
  360. 12[00:10] * Zeph|Sleep is now known as Zeph
  361. 06[00:11] * +Ammy follows the others, not wanting to be alone in this city...especially with the possibility of her being followed
  362. 01[00:11] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap is outside, with persumably the rest of the tortured group following. Why were they experiencing these things? The sky was getting darker... the clouds thick... oh so thick... like they once used to be. The bald stallion seems to know a path, but not it's ultimate destination. His instincts just continue to urge him forward... practically against his will.
  363. 03[00:12] * Dullahan ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  364. 06[00:12] * +Sagittis is standing in the inn doorway and boggling by the stupidity of going exactly where the thing that was tormenting them /wanted them to go/.
  365. 06[00:15] * +Dust_Off looks back at Sagittis, "Coming or do you wish to face this yourself? You've almost maimed two of our party while assumably lucid. Just try to last it on your own."
  366. 01[00:15] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap has stopped before Dust_Off... but his urge to trot is overwhelming.
  367. 06[00:16] * +Slag_Heap decides to walk around her. Times a wasting.
  368. 06[00:17] * +Roy_Calbeck steps in front this time. "And, where ya goin'?"
  369. 06[00:17] * +Slag_Heap "I don't know. Something tells me this way." he walks around him
  370. 06[00:17] * +Roy_Calbeck walks in front again.
  371. [00:17] <+Roy_Calbeck> "What tells you?"
  372. 06[00:18] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck, rage in his eyes. "Get out of my way, or I won't hesitate to go through you." He grumbles. "I don't know. Something's just telling me."
  373. [00:19] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Normally take orders from something ya don't even know? Sheesh, that's one helluva chain of command there."
  374. 06[00:19] * +Roy_Calbeck seems completely aloof about all of this.
  375. 06[00:19] * +Slag_Heap "I don't know you."
  376. 06[00:20] * +Roy_Calbeck arches a brow. "Ya don't? Maybe we haven't been introduced. Hi. I'm Roy Calbeck. You are...?"
  377. 06[00:21] * +Slag_Heap narrows his eyes again. "I've only been with you for three days. Now lead, follow, or get out of the way." He walks around the buck.
  378. [00:21] <+Roy_Calbeck> "That's what I'm askin'. Who ya following?"
  379. 06[00:21] * +Slag_Heap "The road to the Hollow."
  380. 06[00:21] * +Sour_Grape "The voice in his head."
  381. 06[00:21] * +Sagittis suffers a titanic brain hemorage, reducing his int and survival scores to 1. He follows.
  382. 06[00:21] * +Roy_Calbeck walks alongside the big buck.
  383. 12[00:22] * Hoard is now known as kashin
  384. 06[00:23] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to Dust_Off. "What's that map say, ma'am? He even goin' where we think we're goin'?"
  385. 06[00:24] * +Dust_Off takes out the map and unrolls it with some trepidation. "Don't read any dark runes or anything.."
  386. 06[00:25] * +Slag_Heap keeps his eyes on the road. Something seemed so right about this path... like something was drawing him in...
  387. 01[00:26] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 When Dust_Off unfolds the weathered map, she sees it's a detailed map of the Mareizona during it's pre-war era, though now it is heavily faded around nearly every edge except where Dune and it's mountain is.
  388. 06[00:27] * +Dust_Off frowns, "A conveniently damaged map leading to only the Hollow..."
  389. 01[00:28] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Except of course, for reading ,'Dune' the spot that Dune is at reads, 'Desperado Train Junction.' below it to the south she can faintly read the words 'askinville'. North, tucked just around the mountain, she sees a small blue sliver that runs up to a small blue circle far to the north with illegible words written over the circle. Right next to the blue sliver, representing a river, there is a small town that reads, 'Hollow Brook.'
  390. 06[00:29] * +Dust_Off looks for Glassy Flat's position.
  391. 01[00:30] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust Off can't see anything past a certain spot of the faded map.
  392. 06[00:30] * +Slag_Heap keeps walking, not making a sound except for the metal clanking and rattling of his leg.
  393. 06[00:30] * +Slag_Heap and the heavy hoof falls.
  394. 06[00:30] * +Roy_Calbeck peers at the map. "...we're goin' to a spring?"
  395. 06[00:33] * +Sour_Grape peers at the map, "Oh look, lines and squiggles."
  396. [00:34] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Yeah, like writing! Only it's pictures!"
  397. 02[00:34] * &Arcane_Sleeping[A] ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
  398. 03[00:34] * Arcane_Scroll ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  399. 07[00:34] * ChanServ sets mode: +ao Arcane_Scroll Arcane_Scroll
  400. 06[00:34] * +Slag_Heap continues his march, tears still lazily crawling down his cheeks occasionally. No... no.... he couldn't see Daisy like that anymore... he needed to find her... but where was she? She cuold have been on the other side of the world by then...
  401. 06[00:35] * +Roy_Calbeck points to a faded part of the map on its far right. "And if you look real close over here, you can see where it reads, 'Here Be Draconequui'."
  402. 01[00:35] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Once more a chilling sing song voice speaks to Sour_Grape, "Little foal playing her game... little foal hiding her shame..."
  403. 12[00:35] * Arcane_Scroll is now known as Arcane_Sleeping[A]
  404. 06[00:35] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "Well, might as well get movin'. Either that, or tranq the big guy."
  405. 06[00:35] * +Sour_Grape growls, "Keep singing ya asshole, I'm comin' ta Shotgun you!"
  406. 06[00:36] * +Roy_Calbeck peers at Sour. "...my singin' isn't THAT bad, is it...?"
  407. 06[00:36] * +Sour_Grape looks at Roy_Calbeck, "Not you..."
  408. 06[00:36] * +Dust_Off rolls the map up, "Let's go. I'm not dragging him..." She starts walking and looks back at Grape, "What are you experiencing?"
  409. 06[00:38] * +Roy_Calbeck gallops until he catches back up with Slag. "So. There's this whole thing where we have a map, right? And we were hoofed it by a mare who couldn't get rid of it? And then you just 'know where to go' anyways? So I'm wondering..."
  410. 06[00:38] * +Sour_Grape "Keeps singin' in mah ear..."
  411. 06[00:39] * +Slag_Heap doesn't say a word. He just keeps walking.
  412. [00:39] <+Dust_Off> "Who or what does, Grape?"
  413. [00:39] <+Roy_Calbeck> "...do the voices in your head have their act together, or is this just kinda Headfuckery 101?"
  414. 06[00:40] * +Slag_Heap just keeps walking
  415. 06[00:40] * +Sour_Grape grumbles, "I don't know, I tryin' not think bout it, stop askin' questions..."
  416. 06[00:41] * +Roy_Calbeck bugs Slag the entire way.
  417. 06[00:42] * +Slag_Heap ignores the buck the entire way, obviously upset and pissed off.
  418. 06[00:42] * +Slag_Heap looks at Roy_Calbeck after a while. "Shut. Up." He keeps walking.
  419. 06[00:42] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Well, at least it's an answer."
  420. 01[00:43] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Following Slag_Heap, after reading the map, the group (particularly those that remember 'Chasing Ammy') find they're once again trotting along the side of Dune's outerwall, having went out the front gate and going along, until they see a small forgotten trail, amongst the mountainous craggy landscape they're now on.
  421. 06[00:43] * +Slag_Heap keeps following.
  422. 06[00:45] * +Dust_Off looks at the map, held in her wings, and then at Slag_Heap. "Hmmm....he's being drawn in."
  423. 06[00:45] * +Roy_Calbeck makes a point to scuff his hooves along the ground now and again to mark the trail, expecting the effort to be useless, but still...
  424. [00:45] <+Dust_Off> "Straight in."
  425. 06[00:45] * +Slag_Heap keeps walking.
  426. 02[00:45] * Karina ([email protected]) Quit (Quit: )
  427. 06[00:45] * +Sour_Grape "Seems safe."
  428. 01[00:46] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Checking the map, Dust_Off notes that this, 'Hollow Brook' is very close to Dune's location, as they traverse the rocky landscape, seeing off to the northeast the vast stretches of the Blasted Sands, the sand dunes making their way to the base of the small cliffside they're currrently on. Taking them roughly half an hour, they see a strange Dust cloud concentrated over a pocket over a mountainous ridge, seemingly coming to a dead end. Slag_Heap, feels his fear intensify as he gets closer to his destination, his body beginning to tremble.
  429. 06[00:46] * +Roy_Calbeck looks to either side as they go, taking notes of the terrain and surroundings.
  430. 06[00:47] * +Slag_Heap starts to tremble, his breaths coming laboured and ragged.
  431. 06[00:47] * +Sour_Grape gets out her riot shotguns and loads up some Flechets. She wanted this thing to feel pain.
  432. 06[00:48] * +Roy_Calbeck looks at the dust cloud, then back at Slag.
  433. 01[00:51] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Though the group notices Slag_Heap's trembling, Dust_Off and Sour_Grape noitices something in the balding new group member's eyes... strange... they swore he had brown eyes before... but his eyes were now pink... almost luminscently so.
  434. 06[00:52] * +Sour_Grape "Do ya have syber eyes what change your coloured eyes a things?"
  435. 06[00:53] * +Dust_Off looks closely at the buck's eyes.
  436. 01[00:53] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap hears in his mind a voice speak quietly, "You are so close now... Just turn... your wife awaits below..." the stallion notices a staircase descending down the cliffside, a large pedastal made of scrap metal holds a small shack. The stallion feels compelled to go to said staircase.
  437. 06[00:53] * +Roy_Calbeck hrms? and turns to look at Sour and Dusty.
  438. 06[00:53] * +Slag_Heap doesn't respond. He couldn't respond. He slowly makes his way over to the stairs.
  439. 01[00:54] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Now Sour_Grape and Dust_Off note Slag_Heap, begins trotting getting dangerously close to the cliffside, about to plummet below to a landslide of jagged rocks.
  440. 06[00:54] * +Sour_Grape "Shit, someone grab the dumbass!'
  441. 06[00:55] * +Roy_Calbeck coughs, clears his throat, and yells, "INCOMING!"
  442. 06[00:55] * +Dust_Off zips in front of him and spreads her wings wide. "Woah, Mister Heap! Stand to!"
  443. 06[00:55] * +Slag_Heap keeps going.
  444. 06[00:55] * +Slag_Heap is extremely close
  445. 06[00:56] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Well, here we go." The unicorn trots out a half-circle, then charges in to tackle Slag from the side.
  446. 06[00:56] * +Sagittis watches this.
  447. 06[00:57] * +Sour_Grape "Sagi, go help. You're stronger than roy."
  448. 06[00:57] * +Sour_Grape is still on Dust's back
  449. 01[00:58] <@NightmareBrony|GM> As Dust_Off manages to barely slow down the larger stallion's advance by pushing back, Slag_Heap is determined to meet his wife, until he's summarily tackled by Roy_Calbeck.
  450. 06[00:58] * +Dust_Off quickly moves to help Roy hold him down.
  451. [00:58] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Sacked short of the end zone! And Hoofington is denied!"
  452. 06[00:58] * +Slag_Heap is now tangled in ponies. "Let go of me! I gotta get her outta there!"
  453. 06[00:58] * +Sagittis does as he is told.
  454. 01[00:59] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The impact of the tackling throws off Dust_Off's balance causing her to teeter backwards towards the lip of the cliffside.
  455. [00:59] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Who outta where? You almost went off a cliff!"
  456. 01[01:00] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape being on Dust_Off's back during this process finds that she was beginng to slip over the side herself and jumps off before the pegasus mare teetered, giving Dusty enough balance to safely plant herself back on the rock surface.
  457. [01:01] <+Dust_Off> Not that falling off cliffs is a concern. Pegasus.
  458. 06[01:01] * +Sour_Grape is a pegasus and it concerns her, "No walkin' towards deathy traps anymore."
  459. 01[01:02] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As Slag_Heap fights with Roy_Calbeck, the urge to go to his wife flares, making the stallion more aggressive. Roy_Calbeck notes that Slag's eyes are bright pink, nearly glowing, as does Sagittis.
  460. 06[01:02] * +Roy_Calbeck looks into Slag's eyes. "Do I gotta smack you with a hoof or... wait. When did you become an albino?"
  461. 06[01:02] * +Dust_Off gains a sure hoofing and moves over to Slag, "Snap out of it, Mister Heap, or I will be forced to pursue percussive therapy!"
  462. 06[01:03] * +Slag_Heap thrashes, trying to get loose.
  463. 06[01:03] * +Roy_Calbeck tosses a glance at Dusty in mid-wrassle. "Can you stick a needle in him or... urk! something?!"
  464. 06[01:03] * +Sagittis bucks Slag_Heap in the balls.
  465. 06[01:04] * +Slag_Heap has tears leaking from his eyes as he roars. "I gotta get Daisy out of there! Let me get my wife!"
  466. 06[01:04] * +Slag_Heap is smacked in the jewels. He goes crosseyed.
  467. 01[01:04] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The desire to go to that shack abruptedly ends once Slag_Heap gets a dose of reality bucked to his junk... ouch.
  468. 06[01:05] * +Roy_Calbeck takes advantage of the big buck's immediate discomfort to roll and pin him, glaring down into his face. "She's. Not. THERE!"
  469. 06[01:05] * +Slag_Heap 's face slowly implodes.
  470. 06[01:05] * +Dust_Off looks at Sagittis, "Have there been enough near geldings today?"
  471. 06[01:06] * +Sour_Grape jumps back on Dust_Off's back, "I think it worked though."
  472. 06[01:06] * +Slag_Heap blinks a few times. "She's..." he looks over the cliff, his nuts throbbing. He sees no stairs. "She was just... she..." he has tears flowing from his eyes now.
  473. 06[01:06] * +Dust_Off nods, "I was thinking a few slaps, gelding was step six."
  474. 06[01:06] * +Roy_Calbeck gets up and off, stepping back a few paces. "She's gone."
  475. 06[01:07] * +Sour_Grape "Faster tha better."
  476. 06[01:07] * +Slag_Heap slowly sits up. "No... she can't... she couldn't...no..." He holds his head and shudders.
  477. 06[01:07] * +Sagittis goes back to following Dust_Off and Sour_Grape.
  478. 01[01:07] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As the group gets off from Slag_Heap, they notice that the seemingly dead end is now a small opening, having the forgotten trail lead through the small craggy ravine.
  479. 06[01:08] * +Dust_Off puts a hoof on Slag's cheek. "Let me see your eyes."
  480. 06[01:09] * +Slag_Heap slowly looks up, his eyes extremely watery.
  481. 01[01:11] <@NightmareBrony|GM> Sagittis notes with his knowledge in rock formations, that this ravine must have been the result of a landslide some time ago.... what the cause of this is unknown.
  482. 12[01:11] * Ammy is now known as Ammy_Out-for-tea_
  483. 06[01:11] * +Roy_Calbeck goes over to examine the opening. Particularly for tripwires, mines, and Green.
  484. 06[01:12] * +Sagittis knows this factoid.
  485. 01[01:13] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes that Slag_Heap's watery eyes are no longer pink, they fade back slowly to their original brown color, as the stallion feels the strange urge and fears disappate, though still shaken from the experiences.
  486. 06[01:13] * +Dust_Off nods and then looks at the others' eyes.
  487. 06[01:14] * +Slag_Heap shakes his head. "Can't do this much longer..." he mumbles.
  488. 06[01:15] * +Sour_Grape "So, next time someone eyes go pink, we hittem in tha junk!"
  489. 01[01:15] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off observes that no other party member's eyes have gone pink or show any sign of doing so... Unless they are naturally pink, but even so, the pink she saw was unnatural, it seemed to glow brightly.
  490. 06[01:16] * +Slag_Heap gets up and wipes his eyes, starting to revert back to the steel soldier. He starts to walk forward. "Somepony's gonna fucking pay..."
  491. 06[01:16] * +Dust_Off nods, "That is astute, Grape...if barbaric. The pink corona seems to be a sign of the mental domination."
  492. 06[01:16] * +Roy_Calbeck , on hearing that bit from Sour, immediately and reflexively crosses his legs. And falls over with a bleat.
  493. 06[01:17] * +Sour_Grape "So can we continue?"
  494. 06[01:18] * +Roy_Calbeck quickly gets back to his hooves, brushing himself off. "Um, yeah, let's..."
  495. 06[01:18] * +Roy_Calbeck is still over by the opening, checking for Green. Er, booby-traps.
  496. 01[01:19] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Eeriely, as a wind blows by with a sharp howl through the ravine, Roy_Calbeck sees no booby traps as observes the opening... he /does/ hear the strange echoing laughter of Green on the winds...
  497. 06[01:20] * +Dust_Off readies her MRR, "Alright, let's move."
  498. 06[01:21] * +Roy_Calbeck flicks his ears and looks up towards the sky for a moment.
  499. [01:22] <+Dust_Off> The mare looks at the passage into ravine with a great deal of nervousness. Great enclosed places.
  500. 06[01:22] * +Slag_Heap "I'll take point." He marches forward.
  501. 01[01:23] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Looking up to the Sky, Roy_Calbeck sees that heavy clouds are literally everywhere. This strange dust cloud seems to hang ominously over this entire ravine passage, Dust_Off notes that flying through this thick cloud would be trialsome, if not dangerous, as she makes her way through the ravine.
  502. [01:24] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Lovely weather we're havin'."
  503. 06[01:24] * +Roy_Calbeck follows after Slag.
  504. 06[01:25] * +Sour_Grape "Do ya thinkin' killin' ancient evil is worth'a few caps? The city will totally owe us."
  505. 06[01:25] * +Dust_Off looks up at the cloud to see if she can tell anything about it.
  506. 06[01:29] * @NightmareBrony|GM Dust_Off notes there's something very strange with this weather pattern... there was far too many clouds since the day of Sunshine and Rainbows to have this type of buildup. Unless the M.A.C. rediscovered a way to build up such large cloud banks.
  507. 01[01:29] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes there's something very strange with this weather pattern... there was far too many clouds since the day of Sunshine and Rainbows to have this type of buildup. Unless the M.A.C. rediscovered a way to build up such large cloud banks.
  508. 06[01:30] * +Dust_Off frowns. MAC involvement ? No...how did they...Dunderhead hornjobs?
  509. 06[01:31] * +Roy_Calbeck stops for a moment, the hackles of his mane prickling. Somepony, somewhere, had just made a horrible innuendo about something.
  510. 06[01:31] * +Roy_Calbeck shakes it off and keeps heading after Slag up the ravine.
  511. 06[01:33] * +Slag_Heap keeps going. He was going to find who did this, murder the FUCK out of them, starting with their legs being ripped off, then he's going to look for his wife. He missed her so very much, and just wants to know if she's really okay. If she's alive. He just wants to hold her tight... He doesn't even remember why they split up in the first place.
  512. 06[01:33] * @NightmareBrony|GM the group proceeds it's way up the ravine. Each hearing the howling wind blow by as they pass... they see buried under a mountain of rock to their left the remains of asphalt and charred skeletal remains. Getting deeper, they begin to see rusted Pre-war buildings in pieces due to the rocks they were surrounded by.
  513. 01[01:34] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The group proceeds it's way up the ravine. Each hearing the howling wind blow by as they pass... they see buried under a mountain of rock to their left the remains of asphalt and charred skeletal remains. Getting deeper, they begin to see rusted Pre-war buildings in pieces due to the rocks they were surrounded by.
  514. 06[01:34] * +Sour_Grape "Is this tha right place?"
  515. 06[01:34] * +Dust_Off shakes her head. "Grape, most people thought this was a fairy tale...doubt they care to pay is for any action." She examines fhe map.
  516. 06[01:36] * +Sour_Grape frowns at Dust_Off, "Way ta ruin mah fun."
  517. 06[01:36] * +Roy_Calbeck makes a face at the bones as the group passes by. "Poor bastards."
  518. 06[01:37] * +Roy_Calbeck stops, a look of sudden comprehension coming over his muzzle. "Whoa, hold th' radio freq..."
  519. 01[01:37] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes if her orientation skills were any good, that they had to be in the place once known as 'Hollow Brook'. Sure enough, finding an opening beyond this strange ravine, having to climb over rocks after a certain point, they see the broken asphalt leads into a large rocky clearing. Ahead they see a tremendously large iron fence, broken at several parts, allowing entry past... though what they see beyond the iron gates is not comforting... gravestones... many of them. The group has no choice but to cut through to reach the other side, as they can barely see a large building beyond.
  520. 06[01:37] * +Roy_Calbeck trots over to take a closer look at one of the skeletons, as they come up to the graveyard.
  521. 06[01:38] * +Sour_Grape "Good place for a graveyard..."
  522. 06[01:38] * +Slag_Heap looks at the iron fence. He doesn't seem to be able to fit through the iron fence, so he just throws his weight against it in the hopes it'll give way.
  523. 06[01:38] * +Roy_Calbeck mutters, "It's all a graveyard, that over there is just th' formal part. Lemme take a look here."
  524. [01:39] <+Dust_Off> "We are probably nearing The Hollow since we are seeing ruins." She flutters up off the ground as the near graveyard.
  525. 06[01:39] * +Roy_Calbeck pulls out his PipBuck and looks at the radiation dosimeter.
  526. 01[01:39] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Looking up once more the group sees for a brief moment, an opening in the sky, the moon shining eeriely bright, with a serious of stars ringing it twinkling brightly. Unfortunately the dust cloud only allows a brief moment, before closing up, the cloud actually beginng to lower somewhat, but stops.
  527. 06[01:40] * +Sour_Grape groans, "This is a terrible idea, we should head back..."
  528. 06[01:41] * +Dust_Off glares at the cloud. "It was always a terrible ida, but better we face it know before we're sleep deprived, insane, and most likely wounded."
  529. 01[01:41] <@NightmareBrony|GM> The pipbuck does not make the clicking sound of radiation. To Roy_Calbeck's shock the screen that normally read, 'Password required: ________' now is flickering with green lines, garbled words and numbers strung together changing constantly.
  530. 06[01:42] * +Sagittis nods agreement with Sour_Grape.
  531. 06[01:42] * +Roy_Calbeck calls over to Dust_Off. "Hey, c'mere. You oughta see this, Cap..."
  532. 06[01:43] * +Dust_Off flutters over to Roy and looks at the screen, "Mister Heap? Come see this as well."
  533. 06[01:43] * +Sour_Grape looks over at the screen as well, but remembers she can't read."
  534. [01:43] <+Sour_Grape> -"
  535. 01[01:44] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap notes that the iron fence is broken down in several places, allowing entry for even his massive bulk. Fatty.
  536. 06[01:44] * +Roy_Calbeck hoofs it over to Dusty. "It's not just that. Notice we're not gettin' any radiation, but these bones're scorched."
  537. 06[01:44] * +Slag_Heap guesses he managed to break down the iron fence. He grins at his triumph. He feels much better now that he's destroyed something. He walks over to Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck. "Mmm?"
  538. 06[01:44] * +Roy_Calbeck examines the bones more closely, checking for burn depth.
  539. 06[01:44] * +Slag_Heap part of the iron fence, because fuck fenses.
  540. 01[01:45] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck notes these bones are definitely charred, black. Still the pipbuck remains ominously quiet.
  541. [01:45] <+Roy_Calbeck> "This place was blown. Not by balefire, either."
  542. 06[01:45] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Aliens."
  543. 06[01:46] * +Roy_Calbeck looks around the devastated area. "By a metric fuckton of conventional."
  544. 06[01:47] * +Dust_Off frowns and looks at the dosimeter and then the bones, "Damn, you're right. Unless this was a device designed to kill quick but not poison the land. There was experiments towards building on in Equestria. Called the New Town Bomb...because you got a new town."
  545. 01[01:47] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sees that the graveyard creates a sense of spookyness, even by wasteland standards. It's quiet... no hallucinations seem to have taken hold of anyone since entering this place, lest you count the garbled pipbucks screen so. It's... too quiet.
  546. [01:47] <+Dust_Off> *building one
  547. 06[01:48] * +Sour_Grape "Maybe we should blow the whole place up with Sagi's toy."
  548. 06[01:48] * +Roy_Calbeck ponders that. "Maybe. But I don't think this was the War. I think this was Dune's meal ticket."
  549. 06[01:49] * +Slag_Heap growls. "Its quiet... too quiet..." He looks at the group. "We gotta get moving. Something's gonna go down, real soon..."
  550. 01[01:49] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck also notes there is a large building beyond the graveyard... no... it looked like two large buildings, though they seem to be spaced away from one another... unforunately, beyond flight, the only way for the group to traverse beyond is through the graveyard itself.
  551. 06[01:49] * +Roy_Calbeck nods. "Yeah. It already did... this was mass murder. I'd bet donuts ta bits on it."
  552. 06[01:51] * +Roy_Calbeck points a hoof towards the distant buildings. "So let's go see who's all fired up ta have us as guests."
  553. 06[01:52] * +Sour_Grape nods, "Lets get this ova with!"
  554. 06[01:52] * +Slag_Heap growls in that direction. "Lets..." He starts walking, taking point again.
  555. 06[01:52] * +Dust_Off nods, "Yes, Gunny, let's. Mister Heap, take...nevermind." She follows but tries to stay slow and unseen.
  556. 06[01:53] * +Slag_Heap is the group meat shield. He keeps his gun down range, and the trigger bit in his mouth.
  557. 06[01:53] * +Roy_Calbeck follows after. "They blew th' ravine t'bury the brook to get a monopoly on the water supply. Sons of bitches..."
  558. 06[01:54] * +Sour_Grape "So, 'The Hollow' is jus' pissy ghosts?"
  559. 06[01:54] * +Roy_Calbeck shrugs. "Ever heard of a ghost that wasn't?"
  560. 06[01:55] * +Sagittis drops into sneek and follows.
  561. 06[01:56] * +Dust_Off blinks, "Dear Murtaugh...I hadn't thought of that...these poor ponies...if a desire for revenge was ever felt, they have a right to it.
  562. 06[01:57] * +Slag_Heap "I've seen worse..." he mutters as he marches. "Fuck I need a cigar."
  563. [01:57] <+Roy_Calbeck> "Sorry. Had ta give it up, myself, years ago. Not like anypony grows tobacco out here when regular crops are usually in short supply..."
  564. 06[01:58] * +Slag_Heap grumbles and grumbles more.
  565. 06[01:59] * +Roy_Calbeck sighs and looks at the gravestones in passing. "Except th' San Fillyandro Valley. They grow everything out there. Sometimes I really miss Coltifornia..."
  566. 01[02:00] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 As the group advance through the graveyard, they see a sign nearby a large rusted iron gate that is blown down. The sign reads, 'Lonesome Crag Cemetary.' This... cemetary was massive... so many tombstones covered with centuries of dust, grime, and sand... as they get a third of the way, Sour_Grape, Sagittis, and Roy_Calbeck swear they hear a strange shifting...
  567. 06[02:01] * +Sour_Grape ears twitch, "Somethin' nearby..."
  568. 06[02:02] * +Slag_Heap stops and steels himself, getting into battle stance. "Where..."
  569. 06[02:02] * +Dust_Off flutters back into the air, readying her MRR.
  570. 06[02:02] * +Roy_Calbeck stops and backs up, levitating out his 10mm submachinegun.
  571. 01[02:02] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The group can see beyond the other broken iron fences leading deeper into this location, another sign ahead that is next to the remains of an asphalt road. The sign has faded white paint of pre-war design that reads, 'Hollow Brook' with he brook portion being heavily faded, only visible to those with exceptionally keen perception. Scrawled eeriely in dried blood over 'Hollow' are the words, 'The'.
  572. 06[02:03] * +Sour_Grape looks at the sign, "Oh look blood writin... what it say?"
  573. [02:03] <+Roy_Calbeck> "The Hollow. Of course."
  574. 06[02:04] * +Roy_Calbeck starts trotting towards the road. "Let's get onto the asphalt... fast."
  575. 06[02:05] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Keep moving everyone." She stays above the group but below the clouds.
  576. 01[02:05] <@NightmareBrony|GM> Dust_Off flies up in the sky, getting a slightly better vantage, especially having decent sight, as she spots there are three buildings in tact. Two fairly large ones, and a much smaller one. Various carriages liter the landscape, ruined and out of commission. There are also various blown down smaller structures, a lot of structures are also buried under various crags and rocks... Dusty can also note far to the west of her location along the mountainside a tremendously large black scorch mark complete with a small crater.
  577. 06[02:06] * +Sour_Grape is on Dusty's back and totes sees all this too
  578. 01[02:06] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Actually Dust_Off notes there are four.
  579. 06[02:07] * +Slag_Heap notes nothing. He is on the ground. He simply keeps moving. The faster he can get answers and get some fresh blood on his hooves, the better.
  580. 01[02:08] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Those on the ground quicken the pace, but suddenly hear strange shifting sounds, until Slag_Heap, who was leading the way, sees a hoof suddenly burst from the ground. To his complete amazement, a rotted equine body, horribly decayed raises from the ground, it's gaze looking down, it has brilliantly bright glowing eyes...
  581. 06[02:08] * +Roy_Calbeck fires directly into the head.
  582. [02:08] <+Roy_Calbeck> "SOUP'S ON, EV'RYPONY!"
  583. 01[02:08] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 More and more shifting can be heard and suddenly the group hears and sees more bursting, more decayed hooves pulling themselves out from the ground, to reveal ghastly rotted equines, all with glowing pink eyes.
  584. 06[02:08] * +Slag_Heap slams a hoof into the zombie. "GET. BACK. DOWN. THERE!" He slams again. "I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS!"
  585. 01[02:10] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Looking about, so far the group on the ground notes, they are beset by 12 of these ghastly rotted shambling forms, the two pegasi in the sky, see the shifting of the ground around their comrades.
  586. 06[02:10] * +Sour_Grape "Fly me down so I can shoot'em!
  587. 01[02:14] <@NightmareBrony|GM> Roy_Calbeck sees two of the ghastly ghoul looking equines ahead and fires off his rounds, nailing one in the head and torso, causing it to fall down lifeless... the other two rounds fire off and smacks one of the other ghouls in right leg and torso, gaining no response, beyond the jerking from the impact. Instead of inequine screaming, they all make low growling moans. Roy can hear more bursting behind and to his sides.
  588. 03[02:15] * AMARDA ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  589. 01[02:16] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck unloads a four round burst from 10mm actually, nailing the single ghoul ahead of him, not another.
  590. 01[02:17] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The white stallion rushes his way towards the asphalt road beyond the graveyard, seeing to his shock more and more rotted hooves erupting from the ground.
  591. 01[02:24] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Slag_Heap misses the ghoul before him, then goes tofire, unfortunately being so close to the ghoul causes to creature to lunge at him. In surprise of the suddeness, the balding stallion fires but only hears a clicking sound, no round being shot out.
  592. 06[02:25] * +Slag_Heap "BULLSHIT!" He roars in the zombies face. "GET BACK IN YOUR HOLE OR I'LL FORCE YOU BACK DOWN!" When all else fails, scream at it.
  593. 06[02:26] * +Dust_Off sees the tactical situation below her. "Heap! Blow through! Get to the road! Everyone move, don't get strung out!"
  594. 06[02:27] * +Sour_Grape "We should get into a building, bottleneck as they try'a get in.
  595. 06[02:28] * +Dust_Off frowns, "Hang on, Grape, "I'm going to strafe past them towards the road and drop you off." The mare lines up and fires on five zomponies as she goes.
  596. 06[02:28] * +Sour_Grape holds on tight and is ready to drop down when the time comes
  597. 06[02:31] * +Sagittis weaves and sneaks over to the road.
  598. [02:34] <+Dust_Off> "Grape, cover the others as they run for the road. Unless you're overrun, stay until they reach you."
  599. 01[02:34] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off flies about and does an impressive strafing run, her MR Rifle heating up as she fires in such rapid succession. One of her red beams of death pelts one of the pink glowing eyed ghouls in the head and causes it to turn to ash. The others seem rather unfazed by the burns, each giving off a horrendously foul smelling smell. Swooping down low at the end of her execution, she gets down low enough to allow Sour_Grape to jump off.
  600. 06[02:37] * +Sour_Grape jumps off the down off of Dust and shoots off one burst fire at the closest zombie, a second at the next closest, and a single shot at the third closest, tohugh the last one looked a little wobbily as she rushed through it
  601. 01[02:37] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Successfully sneaking his way past the chaos of the ghouls, Sagittis makes his way to the asphalt road, standing somewhat away from the sign indicating the name of this location.
  602. 06[02:37] * +Roy_Calbeck gives a cheer as Dusty strafes part of the zombie horde. "WAHOO! Tac-air freeway!"
  603. 03[02:43] * Pantzar ([email protected]) has joined #FalloutEquestriaPNP
  604. 01[02:47] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 In a gory display of flechetted death, the filly unloads a burst shot at the closest ghoul to her, blowing large holes across it's chest and completely gibbing one of hit's forelegs, sending it flying backwards in half. Her Fifth shot blows a gaping hole in the second ghoul, causing it fly backwards, with the third ghoul flying back as well, one of it's hindlegs gibblets. All three lay lifeless on the ground.
  605. 06[02:47] * +Slag_Heap is impressed.
  606. 06[02:48] * +Sour_Grape "Knock knock. Who's there? You're dead. You're dead who? YOU"RE MOTHER FUCKING DEAD!
  607. 06[02:49] * +Roy_Calbeck gallops towards the filly through the highway of undeath. "Tsk... language!"
  608. 06[02:50] * +Dust_Off hoots as she comes around from her dive, "Yeah, filly! You show'em!"
  609. 01[02:51] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 After their jeering, much to Sour_Grape utter disbelief she sees the ghouls she shot begin to twitch and move. The ones still with legs intact get back upright, their pink eyes still glowing.
  610. 02[02:52] * +Ammy_Out-for-tea_ ([email protected]) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
  611. [02:52] <+Dust_Off> "Oh fuck."
  612. 06[02:52] * +Dust_Off looks back at the pile of ghoul dust.
  613. 06[02:53] * +Sour_Grape blinks, "Now... I ain't afraid'a no ghosts but what the actual fuck!"
  614. 01[02:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 All except for Roy_Calbeck manage to observe during the firefight so far that besides the ash pile still smoldering on the ground, that the ghoul that Roy_Calbeck nailed in the head still remained motionless.
  615. 01[02:57] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Still remaining motionless.*
  616. 06[02:58] * +Slag_Heap puts two and two together. "AIM FOR THE HEAD!" He yells.
  617. 06[02:59] * +Roy_Calbeck shot for the head simply because zombie ponies. It's in all the comics!
  618. [02:59] <+Dust_Off> "Or burn them! They require complete desrtructuon!"
  619. 01[03:00] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The group also notes that these ghouls are a lot frailer in appearance then their normal ghoul counterparts that did not have glowing pink eyes.
  620. 06[03:00] * +Sagittis aims for the head of one between the party and the road and fires. Regardless of the outcome, he reloads.
  621. 06[03:01] * +Sour_Grape ignores the ponies without legs and aims for the the three closest mobile zombies and pops each with aimed shots to the head
  622. 01[03:03] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Sagittis fires off his PAR-T cannon from his stealth postioning, taking head of the advice from Slag_Heap and firing off his loaded trash. Unfortunatetly his shot sails clear over the bunch and smashes into one of the decrepit gravestones, causing it to crumble apart in a fantastic display of force.
  623. 01[03:07] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 The pegasus filly is a ghoul slaying machine as she unloads three hellish blasts. One shot misses, but two make contact with a ghoul near Roy_Calbeck, blowing it's head clean apart, and one near Slag_Heap, doing much of the same.
  624. 06[03:07] * +Sour_Grape uses the rest of her AP to back up towards the road
  625. 06[03:08] * +Slag_Heap looks up at the filly. "Damn! Aint enough freaks to stop that filly!"
  626. 06[03:09] * +Roy_Calbeck shies to one side as shattered chunks of flesh and gore spray him from the side. "Now THAT'S what I call 'danger close'!"
  627. 06[03:11] * +Sagittis lobs off another head shot and reloads.
  628. 01[03:13] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Once again, the flufflecolt aims a shot with his PAR-T cannon and unloads it at another pink-eyed ghoul. Sadly the destructive bottle sails clear over and smashed into another tombstone, shattering it completetly with it's high velocity impact.
  629. 06[03:17] * +Slag_Heap looks to the road. "Regroup at the road! Move out!" He calls, then roars a war cry and charges through the zombies towards the road.
  630. 01[03:18] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 There are no ghoulies to block his path quite yet, as he does trample on a couple rotted hooves, sticking out of the ground along his way, making his way to the road, panting from the exertion.
  631. 06[03:24] * +Roy_Calbeck charges in Slag_Heap's wake. "Right on your fetlocks!"
  632. 01[03:27] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck was a little ways behind Slag_Heap, as the large balding stallion took point. Rushing and trampling on rotted hooves himself, the white stallion makes his way just outside of the iron fence leading deeper into The Hollow, as he hears the eruption of many more low gravelled moans.
  633. 01[03:29] <@NightmareBrony|GM> The group sees the remaining eight shambling flimsy corpses, start making their way slowly to their present position, their intensely glowing pink eyes quite noticable in the dreary night. To their horror, they see another Nine ghouls burst from the ground, giving their low moans.... then there is even more shifting from the graveyard....
  634. 06[03:30] * +Slag_Heap looks to each target. "I hate to say this but... I think there's too many of them..."
  635. 06[03:31] * +Roy_Calbeck follows Slag's gaze. "....eeeyup."
  636. 02[03:32] * kashin ([email protected]) Quit (Connection closed)
  637. 01[03:33] <@NightmareBrony|GM> 3 Our haunted heroes find themselves in dire straights as they are beset by a unique form of ghouls. Now in 'The Hollow' what other terrors will they encounter in this tale of fearful hallucinations and cryptic messages? Find out the answers to these questions on the next Nightmarish session of Star Group Fallout Equestria!
