Star Group Session 5

05:26:08: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Star Group Session beginning.
05:27:07: <Calbeck> This Week's Episode: "Hero Beggining".
05:27:36: Sour_Grape skips over to the ant queen, places her right forehoof on it's massive head, and poses
05:28:20: Dust_Off whimpers behind her mane. "Really dark...and close....and buggy....gameover, buck, gameover..."
05:28:29: Roy_Calbeck peers at said queen dubiously, perhaps unable to quite believe it's dead.
05:28:47: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 We last left our intrepid set of Mareizona adventurers underneat the ruined streets of Equinopia. They have all just managed to destroy the Ant Queen and eradicate her brood. Still underground in her personal chamber, Dust_Off, Sour_Grape, and Roy_Calbeck are amongst the corpses of the six slaughtered ants. The chambers are very very dark, with no source of lighting.
05:29:16: Sour_Grape "Heh, easy as cake, right Roy?
05:29:32: Roy_Calbeck looks over at Dusty, flaring his horn back into light. "Okay, guys, let's loot this place and get the heck out of Dodge Junction."
05:30:06: Sour_Grape looks a bit conflicted, "But this is a stable, we could loot the heck out of this place and get out like badits"
05:30:16: Dust_Off moves cautiously towards the queen. "No disagreements here." The mare goes to search the dead ants all of them. Perhaps some entomology could make her feel better.
05:30:26: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's horn manages to illuminate a small section of the large open chamber, they can see the corpses of the two large brown ants as well as the four smaller ants, they cannot see the other tunnels beyond the one they entered through originally, or the ant queen's corpse.
05:31:03: Roy_Calbeck follows Dust_Off around, keeping his weak light source close.
05:32:39: Dust_Off switches her almost spent Merlin magipistol for her trusty Colt Police Revolver and slips the revolver into her holster
05:32:44: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to pull out from four of the smaller ants, each a large edible piece of ant meat, two of them having a nectar gland, with one of them carrying an ant egg. The two larger ants provide each two edible amounts of ant meat as well as two more nectar glands. As they move amongst the group, the Ant Queen barely becomes visible.
05:33:57: Dust_Off collects the tissue samples and egg from the smaller ants and moves towards the queen. "Thank you, Mister Calbeck. Towards the queen now, please?"
05:34:08: <Roy_Calbeck> "Sure. Let's wrap this up."
05:34:29: Sour_Grape is still posing on the queen, "So... nopony liked my idea of actually getting good loot instead of this cheep shit?"
05:35:25: Roy_Calbeck snorts. "Odds are you'll find bits of whoever these bugs dragged down here for mealtimes, if you look around a bit..."
05:35:34: <Dust_Off> "We can look into that, Grape. This could be valuable material to finding out more about this creatures...and selling the information to someone."
05:36:11: Sour_Grape smirks, "selling the location to a stable. Not as profitable as clearing it out yourself, but might just do."
05:36:14: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off approach the ant queen with Sour_Grape on top, managing to find it with her supra-clarity. Go figure, little addict. As Dust_Off begins to loot the queen, Roy's lighted horn manages to reveal three other tunnels, one of which seems to drop somewhat, the other two go into a bend.
05:38:01: <Dust_Off> Dusty loo...examines the queen thoroughly. One would have an arthropod of this size would collapse under its own weight.
05:38:18: Roy_Calbeck sighs. "Don't tell me we haven't clear this place out yet..."
05:39:09: Sour_Grape looks around, "Dont you know? It's a stable. Miles of underground bunkers ripe with pre-war tech. Prize of a lifetime."
05:39:23: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, manages to pry off a large Ant carapace, that isn't full of holes, scratches, or burns, however it is very heavy. She also gets three pieces of ant meat as well as an enlarged nectar gland, much bigger then the regular sized ones.
05:39:44: <Dust_Off> "We have killed the queen that should be end of the colony...unless they have another in the eggs." The amateur entomologist muses. "We should smash the eggs just in case."
05:40:24: Dust_Off looks at the carapace. Could she carry it easily?
05:40:38: Sour_Grape idea of clearing out the stable is completely ignored. ouch
05:41:04: Roy_Calbeck looks around, peering in the gloom. "THIS? This is a Stable?"
05:42:10: Sour_Grape nods, "Got a good look during the fight, i'm positive."
05:42:37: <Roy_Calbeck> "Huh. Heard of 'em. Never been in one."
05:43:21: Dust_Off loads it all into her bags and stumbles. Oh my...maybe she went overboard with the samples...she straightens. "We should check it out."
05:43:58: Sour_Grape nods, "Even if we don't completely clear it out,we can take the best shit and sell the information." and find the medical bay... all the mint-als. The filly drools
05:44:15: Roy_Calbeck looks back towards the tunnel out. "Wasn't that door completely off its... hinges...whatever?"
05:44:34: Sour_Grape nods, "Cause of the ants ah'm betting."
05:44:36: Dust_Off looks back towards the tunnel in. "There was a door?"
05:45:05: <Roy_Calbeck> "If this's a stable, where'd the door go?"
05:46:12: Sour_Grape shrugs and rolls her eyes, "Trust me! Lets just take a little look, you'll be impressed."
05:47:06: Dust_Off nods. "I'm with the filly. Let's take a quick look over the room, see if any of the ant's meals might have left anything and smash the eggs.
05:47:20: Sour_Grape grins, "I love smashing eggs"
05:47:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Indeed the chamber has many clutches of ant eggs, ripe with ant babies waiting to be eat-- ... errr smashed.
05:47:52: Roy_Calbeck sighs. "All right --- but let's keep an ear out for opportunistic raiders coming in to see if we've done their dirty work for 'em, shall we?"
05:48:31: Sour_Grape is an opportunistic raider, ":Yeah totally..." she runs inside the chamber to buck the nearest egg clutch
05:49:02: Dust_Off grins at Sour_Grape. "Get at them then. I have my sample." She looks to Roy_Calbeck. "Keep watch. We'll deal with the eggs and then we can take a quick peek at the tunnels." The pegasus mare goes to another clutch of eggs and rears up to smash them.
05:49:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape gallops over to her right, the closest clutch of ant eggs, using her hooves and grinning with wild sadistic glee, she pulverizes the eggs into pulp and mushy ichor. Gross!
05:49:27: Roy_Calbeck walks along to provide the light source, but as Sour is gleefully smashing bugs and Dusty is engaged in bug science, he decides to refrain from pitching in. Somepony needs to keep a watch out."
05:50:34: Dust_Off does smash her clutch of eggs, deciding it would be interesting to see what the inside of one looked like.
05:50:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off and Sour_Grape spend a few minutes traversing the very wide room, as Roy_Calbeck stands in the middle providing the optimum source of lighting for them to both see with equally as they commit anticide against the poor clutches of ants. Bye bye little babies.
05:50:54: Sour_Grape laughs and runs over to the next clutch and smashes them with her hoovsies. Oh, this was theraputic
05:51:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes that the ant eggs create a pretty nasty looking yellowish brown ichor puss along with the shell of the egg. It kind of makes her sick. Let's hope she's not reminded of the mold in the apartment.
05:52:18: Roy_Calbeck mutters, "Ameisen heraus..."
05:52:38: Sour_Grape "What was that?"
05:52:42: <Roy_Calbeck> "Hm?
05:52:55: <Sour_Grape> "You said somethin"
05:53:00: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape is now incessed with bloodlust at her anticidal glee, probably due to her raider upbringing, granting her lots of filly-like energy.
05:53:49: <Roy_Calbeck> "Oh, just sayin' something about getting rid of these ants."
05:53:58: Dust_Off finds the different stages of ant development fascinating...when she doesn't crush them by mistake. Oops. This isn't mold! This is entomology! Let the mycologists have their day, this is hers!
05:54:43: Sour_Grape runs over to Roy calbeck to look him in the eys, "Are you sure? Are you? i thought you said somethin' in like fancee?"
05:55:22: Roy_Calbeck pffts. "Wasn't Fancee."
05:55:47: Sour_Grape tilts her head, "Was it zebra? griffin? minotaur? Oh! Did you speak ant?"
05:55:59: Roy_Calbeck eyerolls. "I'm Germane."
05:56:24: Sour_Grape "Never heard'a it, what was it ya said?"
05:56:30: Dust_Off fumes as she looks at the puss. That creepy Spree Gun Spangler...with his collection of spores, molds and fungi...
05:57:00: <Roy_Calbeck> "Literally? 'Ants out'."
05:58:10: Sour_Grape stares blankly at Roy, "That's boring." Out of the corner of her eye she needs another cliutch that needs stomping
05:58:57: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape in her hyperactive supra-clarity can hear skittering coming from the furthest right tunnel.
05:59:07: Roy_Calbeck chuckles and follows after, keeping his light close.
05:59:24: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape notes the skittering is coming in quick.
05:59:53: Sour_Grape jumps and turns towards the skittering, "Ants!"
06:00:18: Dust_Off curses and draws her pistol.
06:00:20: Roy_Calbeck growls and levitates his rifle up, pointing it in the general direction Sour indicates.
06:00:52: <Roy_Calbeck> "Scheisse..."
06:01:14: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group notices coming from the right furthest tunnel one of the larger brown ants skittering into view. It stops for a moment and snaps it's enlarged mandibles very loudly.
06:03:20: Dust_Off glances up to see how high the chamber is...that glide down here had proved her wings were able to support her again...
06:03:24: Roy_Calbeck sights in through his scope to open the festivities. "From the steel of Fillydelphia to your heart..."
06:05:13: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck takes a calculated shot and manages to nail the large ant square in the body, causing it to let loose a mighty Skree.
06:05:54: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes the chamber is very high, but the large ant is quite large.
06:06:41: Dust_Off settles down and stares at her opponent. "More samples..." She rolls her neck and takes two aimed shots at the large ant
06:06:59: Sour_Grape rolls her neck and charges forward ten AP worth of movement, "Chaaarge!" stupid hyper fillies, but she also shoots twice!
06:14:06: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off and Sour_Grape launch their volleys, Dust_Off scores a shot to the bulbous head of the ant while another road impacts the wounded chest, causing the creature to flinch somewhat. Sour_Grape in her wild sadistic glee, misses one of her rounds, the other manages to blow a tremendous hole into the body of the Ant, causing it to reel somewhat.
06:15:17: <Dust_Off> "Ha! Murtaugh, you are with me!" The pegasus pumps her hoof triumphantly.
06:16:37: Roy_Calbeck takes a moment to grin at Dusty while working the bolt of his rifle with a hoof --- peculiar, perhaps, for a unicorn. "Don't get cocky, kid..."
06:19:07: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The large ant rushes up to Sour_Grape who is somewhat close anyway, taking two bites at the filly, managing to tear a large gash in her right foreleg causing pain and trauma (-25HP). The other bite misses her as she springs away, her leg causing a great deal of pain with each step.
06:19:47: Sour_Grape gasps in pain and grits her teeth to stop from crying. it was just a dumb ant!
06:20:34: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy is now next to Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off, the zebra mare with unsightly corrroded flesh to her face ready for action. She notices that there is a giant large brown ant attacking her comrades!
06:22:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz, is now also next to Ammy and the rest, also noting that his comrades are in peril by a single large brown ant!
06:23:30: ammy shakes her head and gasps as if she was recovering from a brain dead daze
06:24:11: ammy she quickly notices the ant attacking her friends and l prepares to fire a precise shot
06:25:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz is actually unconscious on the ground, due to the rocks crumbling and landing on his poor little noggin. He has yet to awaken.
06:29:17: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy makes an exceptional shot after aiming precisely with her rifle. The round goes right into the eye of Ant, causing it to reel further and shudder, struggling to lift it's head up in obvious pain.
06:29:31: Roy_Calbeck horsewhystles appreciatively.
06:29:47: ammy "Lucky face burn"
06:30:25: Roy_Calbeck draws a bead with his rifle on the bug's head...
06:32:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck carefully aims right at the ant's bulbous head. Taking a shot, the round goes right into it's head, right above the already shot eye, causing it to fall for a second, then get back up, shuddering massively as large amounts of ichor ooze from it's wounds.
06:33:33: <Roy_Calbeck> "Heh. One good shot deserves a follow-up..."
06:34:15: Sour_Grape is still hobbling at the bite but does not seem disturbed, "Fucking bugs! Die cunt!" Raiders, amiright? She takes one aimed shot followed by another regular. For justice.
06:37:17: Dust_Off shouts, "Grape, get back!" Seeing the filly taking a shots, she necks rolls, takes a shot at the ant, and then moves forward. She takes a health potion from her bag and applies it direction to the leg wound.
06:42:13: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape hobbles forward somewhat and launches a hellish blaze of buckshot that completely gibs the body of the already crippled ant, causing it's other body parts to fall off into a gorish heap. Dust_Off misses her shot as the body parts fall. She pours a healing potion on the gash and the wound seals up completely, making Sour_Grape feels much better.
06:43:04: Sour_Grape stands up the straighter and grins down at the dead ant, "Told you, you would die! HAH!" She kicks it
06:43:47: Dust_Off takes moment to reload her pistol. "Nice going, Grape." She holsters the Colt and moves forward to prod the parts to see if anything salvageable survived.
06:44:00: Roy_Calbeck walks up, horn glowing, and takes a look at the corpse. "Don't build ants like they usta...."
06:44:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to find only one piece of edible meat on the ant. Everything else is completely pulverized or filled with lead.
06:44:35: Sour_Grape grins up at Roy to see if he's proud
06:44:56: <Dust_Off> "Rather unresistant to firearms...I suppose that's a good thing." The pegasus takes the sample and puts it in her bag.
06:45:15: ammy "Can we leeeeave yet" Ammy says winching as she touches her face
06:46:01: Dust_Off remembers Smooth Jazz, oh my. She'd left him there. She takes flight and flies up to the ledge they'd left him on.
06:46:16: Roy_Calbeck gives Sour a fatherly wink. "Nice work, kiddo. Haven't seen that much Swiss Beef since..."
06:46:33: Roy_Calbeck looks away, rubbing his mane with a hoof. "Er, nevermind."
06:46:46: Sour_Grape grins up and blushes slightly. Thank celestia it's dark in here.
06:47:42: Roy_Calbeck trots after Dusty to see how she tends to Smooth.
06:48:43: Sour_Grape forces herself to frown to stop her cheeks from burning. Okay. She looked around trying to see if she could see deeper into the stable
06:48:50: Dust_Off tends to Smooth poorly. Could he be dead? He had his head....most of the blood was still inside...he didn't have X's over his eyes.....
06:49:47: Roy_Calbeck peers more closely at the head wound. "Let me try something...?"
06:50:07: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off checks SmoothJazz and notes he does have a rather large bruised bump on the top of his head. She cannot determine though how serious said bump is, or how long he will remain unconscious.
06:50:16: Dust_Off blinks. "Oh? Yes, I always appreciate a second opinion."
06:50:18: ammy reloads for good measure
06:51:18: <Roy_Calbeck> "Well... maybe if I..." The unicorn concentrates for a moment, closing his eyes. A white aura builds up around his horn, moving to gently probe around the bump on the musician's head.
06:51:35: ammy looks to Sour "You think If I go up and say that the ants ruined my face we'll get more pay?"
06:52:23: Sour_Grape shakes her head, "Nope, we should have asked for more before agreeing." She turns her head to give a 'seriously' look. if only they listened to the bloody lusting mint-al addicted raider filly.
06:53:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's horn hums and lights up a gentle white aura, that dances and cascades over SmoothJazz's head. The bump begins to recede as his natural color hue returns. SmoothJazz however has not awoken.
06:53:46: ammy chews on her lip
06:54:33: <Roy_Calbeck> "Hm. Well I guess I didn't kill him.
06:54:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape even with her supra-clarity cannot see any deeper down into the tunnels as Roy_Calbeck as shifted to help Aid SmoothJazz, along with Dust_Off.
06:54:58: Dust_Off nods. "He does not show any of the signs of death."
06:55:52: Roy_Calbeck gives Ammy's face a closer look now that the hectic battle craziness is over... and winces."
06:56:28: Dust_Off follows Calbeck over to Ammy. "Can I take a look at that for you, Ammy?"
06:56:58: ammy "Suppose, you can't fuck my face up more than it already is"
06:57:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy has many parts of her snout and face, corroded with flesh. It would require some extensive medical knowledge to heal the afflicted flesh, however she is fine beyond cosmetic apperances. Although maybe Ghouls might start liking her a bit more.
06:58:19: Dust_Off coughs. "I wouldn't mess your face up any. You'll be just fine." She moves closer to peer at the zebra's face. Oh that was horrid....hopefully, Ghouls would find her attractive...Murtaughs knows no pony would...
06:58:26: Sour_Grape looks over at Ammy, :Eh, it's a battle scar. I know a pony that lost half his jaw, and he laughed about it."
06:59:06: Dust_Off blinks and looks over at Sour_Grape. "How was he laughing with half a jaw?"
06:59:14: Sour_Grape "Carefully"
06:59:24: Roy_Calbeck gives Ammy his best 'this is me being serious' look. "I owe you one face."
07:01:20: ammy "Doesn't hurt as much anymore, guess I could just where a mask for the rest of my life or until this heals up, maybe even just a shady hat"
07:01:22: Dust_Off purses her lips as she looks the zebras wounds over. "I'd need better facilities and tools...I could help though, later."
07:01:34: <ammy> wear*
07:02:47: Roy_Calbeck looks away towards one of the other three tunnels discovered earlier. "Well, if we're going to check this place out before leaving, better get the Music Mustang on his hooves."
07:03:33: <Dust_Off> The pegasus walks over to Sour_Grape. "How ya doin', Grape? That potion get ya?"
07:03:36: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's lighted horn, illuminates the three tunnels once more. The central tunnel dips down somewhat, the other two on the sides go at a bend. The large ant came from the furthest right bended tunnel.
07:04:15: Sour_Grape smiles and nods at Dusty, "I'm fine. Just a little flesh wound and hte healing potion fixed it out right." She flutters her wings some, "Easy as cake."
07:05:20: Dust_Off smirks and nods. "Good deal then. Someone nudge sleeping beauty a few times. It shouldn't hurt him at all.
07:06:50: ammy plods over to Smooth prodding his body with her forehoof
07:07:05: Sour_Grape "We should go find more ants to kill!" She grins before seeing an untoched egg clutch. "oh!" she ignores Dust to go and smash eggs, her blood lust still engaged
07:08:02: Roy_Calbeck tops off his magazine. "Well, that'd prolly mean going down the right-side tunnel there."
07:08:35: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape manages to find one last egg clutch, that somehow evaded her earlier wrath. With sickening mad glee she tramples all over it revelling in it's pus-filled gory-ness. Much like a certain moon stuck princess...
07:09:35: Dust_Off looks on proudly. For a dirtsider, she does show the proper warrior spirit of the pegasi, Dust_Off decides
07:10:06: <Dust_Off> "Good job, Grape! Smash those dirty eggs!"
07:10:30: Sour_Grape grins proudly and shakes the gunk off her hooves, "The had it comin'
07:12:00: ammy shrugs after poking Smooth continously and tries to pick him up in order to carry him
07:12:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy pokes and prods SmoothJazz repeatedly in an attempt to revives him. Noticing he stubbornly refuses to awaken, she barely manages to lift him up on her back and begins to carry the buck, becoming instantly overburdened.
07:13:14: SmoothJazz groans
07:13:16: ammy grunts "You owe me aswell"
07:13:31: Dust_Off looks over her shoulder at the grunt of the zebra. She raises an eyebrow.
07:13:32: Sour_Grape "Think music man has awoken"
07:13:58: SmoothJazz holds his head and groans again. "uuuugh...5 more minutes....."
07:14:28: <Dust_Off> "A sudden fall is a good awakening. It shouldn't exacerbate any injuries." The mare nodes authoritatively.
07:14:30: Roy_Calbeck looks over, "Hey there Music Mustang."
07:15:06: ammy "Never mind" she hastily slips him off her back
07:15:41: SmoothJazz "Whoop-" He falls off Ammy's back. "Ow. What happened?"
07:16:02: Sour_Grape "Rocks fell, I killed a bunch of ants!" She lifts up a gore splattered hoof as proof
07:16:20: Dust_Off nods. "We saved your life, a lot...you owe us."
07:16:28: SmoothJazz looks at Sour_Grape. "Pretty badass, kid." He looks around. "Where's my sax?"
07:17:02: SmoothJazz looks at Dust_Off. "I'm dead near broke, sweet cheeks."
07:17:38: Dust_Off nods. "Just have to remember that in the future." She says with a smile.
07:17:49: ammy smirks and turns her burnt face to him "I WAS INDOCTRINATED BY DISCORD, YOUR SOUL WILL BE MINE MORTAL!"
07:18:45: Dust_Off nods. "That happened too. It was quite dramatic."
07:19:00: Sour_Grape nods, "I nearly died once or twice."
07:19:15: Dust_Off holds up her burned forelegs. "See? Dramatic."
07:19:28: Roy_Calbeck eyerolls and starts towards the right-hoof tunnel. "Come on, you characters. Any longer here, somepony's gonna set up a microphone and call it stand-up."
07:19:35: <Dust_Off> The pegasus decides to actually look at her forelegs, medically.
07:19:55: SmoothJazz looks at Ammy. "Uh...I think your brain may have melted too..." He looks at the rest. "Sounds like a blast..."
07:20:42: SmoothJazz looks in his saddlebag. "I've still got...two health potions."
07:21:08: Sour_Grape follows after Roy... very closely
07:21:19: ammy "You were thought I wasn't kidding for a second, I could see it in your eye, don't deny it" she follows the others
07:21:23: Dust_Off decides her poor legs will keep. She could rub lotion on them later...when she got some. The pegasus rolls behind the smaller one.
07:21:57: SmoothJazz pulls out a health potion and hoofs it to Dust_Off. "Will this help, doll?"
07:22:16: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck begins to head into the right tunnel, followed by Sour_Grape... rather closely. Colt Hansen begins to grow suspicious. Dust_Off is behind not too far away. Ammy and SmoothJazz follow as well
07:22:52: Roy_Calbeck blinks, turning his head to give Sour a look. "Might wanna spread out a bit."
07:22:59: Dust_Off looks at health potion. "I'll gladly take it, Mister Jazz, but I think, I myself, will be fine....my barding is positively ruined however..."
07:23:22: SmoothJazz "How much will it take to repair?"
07:23:28: SmoothJazz "Cap wise"
07:23:33: ammy "So I figure, we find Smooth's music store thing, depending on the time set up camp, than finally fucking leave"
07:23:37: Sour_Grape blushes bright red and backs off a bit, "Sorry... I got distracted looking for ant eggs and didn't see how close I got."
07:24:00: Roy_Calbeck earflicks at Ammy's mention of needing new barding, and suddenly holds up.
07:24:28: Dust_Off shrugs. "I have no idea." She draws her pistol again as they wander into tunnel. "Umm...Mister Jazz, could you light your horn please?"
07:24:51: SmoothJazz pulls a sack of 50 caps out of his saddlebags. He holds it to Dust_Off before lighting his horn. "This should help."
07:25:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Rounding the bend, Roy_Calbeck, sees another clutch of ant eggs, surrounded by walls coated in a thick disgusting and foul smelling resin of some type. There is three decaying pony corpses, two being unicorns, that are clad in destroyed raider barding. The other an earth pony with a stable-dweller jumpsuit. There lays under him a fairly good conditioned 10mm SMG.
07:25:20: Roy_Calbeck nods to Sour. "That's okay. Just don't wanna catch an accidental load of that buckshot in my backside. I wouldn't HAVE one afterward, the way you work that piece..." He chuckles to take the sting out of the crack, then turns to Ammy.
07:26:11: <Roy_Calbeck> "You need replacement armor, huh?"
07:26:20: Sour_Grape looks a bit embarassed still... until she saw eggs that needed stomping! YAY! She runs over and tap dances over them
07:26:22: Dust_Off shakes her head. "Mister Jazz, that is very kind, but I simply couldn't."
07:26:50: SmoothJazz smiles. "Please, I owe ya. Take it. I can easily earn it back after a gig or two."
07:26:59: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, smashes the remaining egg clutch to itty bitty little gooey chunks and ichor pus.
07:27:02: <Dust_Off> The pegasus mare goes over the check the pony corpses.
07:27:41: Sour_Grape snickers at the squished eggs before looking around for things to steal
07:28:39: Roy_Calbeck twists his neck to nose through his saddlebags, coming up with a mostly-good-condition set of security armor. He levitates the set up for Ammy to view. "Would this work for ya?"
07:29:06: ammy smiles "Not me champ, Dust needs it"
07:29:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to find that one of the raiders in their barding has 23 10 mm rounds and 16 bottlecaps, the other raider has 33 .308 rounds as well as 12 shotgun shells, and 6 bottle caps.
07:30:10: Sour_Grape notices the buckshot right away and runs over, "hey! Dusty, I need them shotgunners. i'm at empty and I'm better with it than my rifle
07:30:11: Roy_Calbeck blinks. "Coulda sworn that was you talkin'... my apologies." He gallops up to Dust_Off with the armor in magical tow.
07:31:13: Roy_Calbeck goes eyes-wide at the little treasure-trove of .308 rounds.
07:31:25: Dust_Off looks at the haul. She pockets the bottlecaps. She smiles and tosses the box of shells to Sour_Grape. "We need our shotgun filly." She looks at the onrushing Calbeck. "Did you need rounds that badly?"
07:31:27: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds one the stable dweller jumpsuit wearing corpse 45 10mm rounds, as well as 14 Magi-cells fit for her magi-pistol. There is also a med-x container, two packs of radaway and a tin of mint-als.
07:32:20: Sour_Grape quickly loads her shotgun and notices the tin of mint-als. Her eyes go wide and she watches the tin really closely
07:33:23: Roy_Calbeck grins at Dust_Off. "Less than two magazines now. And you need this security armor perhaps...?"
07:36:10: Dust_Off gives the .308 rounds over to Calbeck. "Share with Ammy." She collects the 23 10mm rounds for her self. She moves over to the stupid...poor stablepony. She takes the magi-cells with a squee, along with ALL the medicine (>:3). She takes the 45 10mm rounds and tosses them to SmoothJazz. She contemplates taking the jumpsuit while she turns to Calbeck.
07:36:42: SmoothJazz catches em. "Thanks doll. Appreciate it."
07:37:13: Sour_Grape watches Dusty put the mint-als away with a sad pouty look. She would just have to steal them when she was sleeping
07:38:28: Roy_Calbeck nods. "I DO owe her."
07:38:28: <Dust_Off> "The armor? What? Oh!" She looks down at the comestically marred really leather armor, so fetching on her. "You don't have use of it, Mister Calbeck?"
07:39:19: Roy_Calbeck poses in the Combat Armor he's been wearing this whole time. "I upgraded, remember? For that pistol in your hoof, as a matter of fact."
07:39:37: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck looks rather fetching in his combat barding.
07:40:12: Sour_Grape grits her teeth and tries not to be too noticable about the mint-als and turns. She blushes at the handsome roy before going to the raider pony and ptrying off their armour to try and repair her similar style armour
07:40:39: Dust_Off nods. "I could use it, I suppose. Trade for it?"
07:40:42: Roy_Calbeck levitates sixteen of the .308 rounds over towards the scarred zebra. "Consider that a down payment."
07:41:16: Roy_Calbeck gives Dust_Off his old armor. "That's what I was figuring..."
07:41:50: ammy takes the sixteen rounds "Thank you Calback" she pockets them
07:43:21: Roy_Calbeck nods.
07:43:30: Dust_Off rubs her chin with a hoof goopey with crushed ant eggs. "My old barding....and the two poorly thirty two revolvers I have?"
07:43:44: SmoothJazz puts the caps back in his bag
07:43:53: Sour_Grape looks around for something else to loot
07:44:43: <Dust_Off> "I also have plenty of ant flesh samples if that interests you..."
07:45:40: <Roy_Calbeck> "Sure, that'll work. I can always cook it up for jerky or something later."
07:45:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, cannot find anything else to loot. She does find lots of disgusting Resin coating the sides of the wall. It really smells bad.
07:46:35: Sour_Grape sniffs at the resin and makes a face. She wonders what that's all about
07:47:32: Dust_Off nods and hoofs over the two revolvers, eight of her ant tissue samples, and then wiggles out of her armor.
07:50:32: SmoothJazz looks away to give the pegasus privacy
07:51:06: Roy_Calbeck waves off the revolvers and armor. "Got no use for those."
07:51:08: Sour_Grape licks the resin
07:52:03: Dust_Off frowns, her plot in the air as she struggles out of the armor. "But I must give you fair value, Mister Calbeck."
07:52:49: <Roy_Calbeck> "Well, if you insist..." The unicorn shuts up and enjoys the view.
07:53:34: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, against the better judgement of her sense of smell decides to take a lick to the walls coated with the very foul smelling resin. As she pulls her tongue back into her mouth, she begins to feel violently ill and causes her to spew out what little she ate earlier all over the walls and floor. Some of it splashing on Roy_Calbeck and Dust_Off's hooves
07:54:01: ammy laughs "nice
07:54:17: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Though she threw it up, her vision goes woozy for a moment. Wow that was /really/ disgusting.
07:54:34: SmoothJazz grimaces at the bile. "Euch."
07:54:42: Sour_Grape urghs and falls on her rump looking very green. "That was a bad idea" She urks and nearly pukes again
07:55:20: Dust_Off gets out of her barding and tosses it away as the filly filth hits her hooves. "Grape! Oh eww!" She wipes it off...not really knowing what was vomit and what was ant pus...probably didn't matter that much. She struggles into the security barding quicker.
07:56:19: Roy_Calbeck grimaces down at the mess.
07:56:23: SmoothJazz "How does she have that much in her...?"
07:56:41: Sour_Grape blushes and wobbles a bit, "Sorry..."
07:56:59: <Roy_Calbeck> "Oh well... does this look like everything for this tunnel?"
07:57:42: Dust_Off looks at the 10mm SMG on the ground. "Mister Jazz, could you use this?"
07:58:57: SmoothJazz looks at the SMG and pulls out his own, his being better. "Erm...probably not, daddy-o. Got my own right here."
07:59:25: SmoothJazz nods. "Why don't you hold on to it. Probably get a nice sum of caps for that"
07:59:46: <SmoothJazz> (I did not say Daddy-o, I thought it was Roy_Calbeck talking to me, get over it.)
07:59:55: <Dust_Off> The pegasus REALLY considers if she could take the Stable jumpsuit. Those had value... "Anyone else want it? If not, Mister Calbeck, I'd like you to have it. It should cover my debt for the armor."
08:00:11: Sour_Grape groans shakes her head, "We're good."
08:00:29: Roy_Calbeck looks at Dust_Off and shrugs. "Not gonna turn it down..."
08:01:17: Dust_Off nods. "Take it then with these." She tosses him thirty rounds from her pack.
08:01:36: Sour_Grape likes how nopony worries about the puking filly
08:02:08: Roy_Calbeck catches the rounds in midair, meticulously loading the SMG's magazine and then stowing the weapon in his saddlebag.
08:03:23: SmoothJazz chuckles. "Looks like you might get some better use out of that than I would, Roy."
08:03:25: Dust_Off looks at the filly between her avarice for the jumpsuit. She lets it go and walks to the filly. "What's wrong?"
08:03:58: Sour_Grape looks up, "Eh... nothing. Don't lick the stuff on the wall." She urgs, her stomach rebelling at the thought
08:04:20: Roy_Calbeck nods to Jazz. "Maybe... but I can't hold a candle t'your lightshow."
08:04:44: Dust_Off frowns and looks at the filly to see if there was anything she could do to help.
08:04:59: SmoothJazz laughs. "Thanks, bud."
08:05:54: Roy_Calbeck checks the Stable Dweller's corpse for the only other possible thing of value... it's very durable, after all.
08:06:40: <Dust_Off> "Don't lick the wall...you should be fine. Pegasi are tough, Grape. I had the same reaction to a fridge of horror. Just flap...walk it off."
08:07:02: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The only thing left of value on the corpse is the stable dwellers jumpsuit. The jumpsuit is torn and ragged, but wearable. The numbers on the blue suit are big and yellow saying, '111'.
08:07:16: Sour_Grape flaps her wings and walks into a circle somehow getting closer to Roy
08:07:47: <Roy_Calbeck> "Hm. Wonder what happened to his PipBuck. Never seen a Stabler getting out and wandering around without one."
08:08:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Oh yes the pipbuck is secured firmly to the rotting leg/
08:08:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 It is currently off.
08:08:35: Roy_Calbeck seems oblivious to Sour's literal advances, attempting to turn the PipBuck on.
08:08:59: Sour_Grape huffs and stands still. Apparently puking on him wasn't very attractive
08:09:10: SmoothJazz trots up beside Dust_Off. "You pegasi got big stomaches or something?"
08:09:27: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's messes with the switches and dials on the pipbuck, until the display reads, "ENTER PASSWORD:_____ "
08:09:51: <Roy_Calbeck> "...oh, LOVELY. Anypony want a crack at this?"
08:11:06: Sour_Grape perks up and runs over, "I can do it!" She looks down at it and furrows her brow
08:11:24: Roy_Calbeck steps back a couple paces to make room for the filly.
08:11:40: Dust_Off looks at SmoothJazz and nods. "Helps us fly." She trots over to the pipbuck. "Grape...why don't you let me have a look..."
08:11:57: Sour_Grape frowns and waves her off, "I can do it... what is this thing anyway?"
08:12:08: SmoothJazz blinks. "Big stomache...better fly. That doesn't exactly make sense."
08:12:57: Roy_Calbeck whispers an aside to SmoothJazz. "It does if they use rocket assist and specialize in chili dishes."
08:13:27: SmoothJazz looks blankly at Roy_Calbeck. "Stay classy, Roy..."
08:13:43: Roy_Calbeck smirks.
08:14:40: SmoothJazz looks back at Dust_Off. "So...pegasi eat a lot? What's the average meal size?"
08:16:04: Roy_Calbeck shifts his gaze over towards the PipBuck. "Bet we're gonna need an expert to crack that thing. I was hoping it might have some info on whatever th' poor bastard was investigating, but... looks like we're gonna hafta take it with, if we want any of that info at all."
08:16:17: Dust_Off looks at the leg contraption. "It's a PipBuck like Green wears...except this one might work...or not be impaired by her attachment to it." She susses at the thing. "Damn...I can't really find a back down into this thing...I don't know if I can crack the password." She looks back at SmoothJazz. "We eat a lot of small meals."
08:16:22: Sour_Grape looks down at the leg, "Bet I could shotgun it off"
08:16:48: Dust_Off looks at the corpse and backs up. "Great idea, Grape. Do it, filly."
08:17:08: <Roy_Calbeck> "Uh... how about a shovel and a good whack?"
08:17:47: Sour_Grape shotguns
08:17:55: Dust_Off looks over at Roy_Calbeck. "You have a shovel?"
08:19:11: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape unloads her shotgun at the leg, but her aim is off and it oblierates the head instead, showering the group with rotted chunks of pony head and flesh. Oh it just adds more of that great foul decayed aroma with the putrid resin odor that's already rank in the tunnel.
08:19:44: SmoothJazz grimaces and peels the rotted bits from his suit. "Eeeeesh."
08:19:49: Sour_Grape stomach flips at the smell and backs off, "Screw it, i'm not wasting anymore shells"
08:19:54: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape takes another shot and blasts a good portion of the leg off, but the bone is still attached with ligaments and such, stubborn tissue!
08:20:55: Dust_Off wipes the goo off her as an annoyance. "Grape, it's right in front of you. Let me try." The pegasus mare goes up and stomps down on the leg
08:21:44: SmoothJazz looks at the now beheaded corpse. "Eesh. I was gonna ask you to dinner sometime, but I just lost my appetite..."
08:22:01: Roy_Calbeck eyerolls.
08:22:16: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off pounds a hoof on the bone, but with the resin coating the floors as well as the walls of the tunnels, her hoofing is off and causes her to slip once the hoof hits the bone, causing her to fall on top of the rotted corpse. Ewww.
08:22:37: SmoothJazz offers a hoof
08:22:43: Sour_Grape giggles
08:23:00: <Roy_Calbeck> "Ahem."
08:23:35: Roy_Calbeck levitates a toaster out of his saddlebags. WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM goes the large blunt kitchen appliance.
08:23:46: Dust_Off stares the rotted corpse balefully and accepts SmoothJazz's hoof. "This just like my residency..."
08:24:24: SmoothJazz helps Dust_Off to her hooves. "Residency?"
08:24:59: Sour_Grape "Toaster beats shotgun
08:25:36: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck uses his toaster to horrifically and savagely beat the bone until it snaps with the ligaments. The toaster is completely destroyed, beyond what ever scant value it once had. Poor toaster, you will be mourned.
08:25:44: Dust_Off nods. "When I was learning..to be a nurse." She shakes the rot off her hoof.
08:25:54: Roy_Calbeck discards toaster, acquires PipBuck.
08:26:38: Sour_Grape swoons at Roy's display of savage stallionhood
08:26:59: SmoothJazz nods. "Huh... a nurse, eh? Cool."
08:27:56: Roy_Calbeck picks up and tosses his prize into his saddlebag. "Okay, let's get to those other tunnels, huh?"
08:28:14: Sour_Grape nods and perks up racing back down the tunnel
08:28:27: Dust_Off nods at SmoothJazz. "Yes, a nurse..." She sighs. "I'd rather not talk about it." She nods to Calbeck's suggestion switching her revolver for her magipistol
08:28:40: SmoothJazz gives his best smile. "duely noted."
08:29:37: <Roy_Calbeck> "Yeesh! There she goes..." The unicorn breaks to a trot, following the filly's tail. Colt Hansen is greatly displeased.
08:29:47: Dust_Off smiles at SmoothJazz and walks with Roy.
08:30:13: SmoothJazz trots after the others, keeping his eyes off Dust_Off's flank, like a gentlecolt.
08:31:05: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group head down the tunnel and to their surprise it pops back out into the main chamber where the ant queen was. Huh, strange. They can either head down the tunnel they have not ventured or head back to the surface. Colt Hansen eyes Roy_Calbeck very intently.
08:31:29: <Dust_Off> The pegasus's flank is well guarded by the fetching security armor....why they'd put two of the security labels on the flanks was beyond her. Just seemed to draw attention there...
08:31:30: Sour_Grape heads down the new tunnel
08:32:10: Roy_Calbeck follows.
08:33:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group head down into the tunnel that dips somewhat. It begins to make a slight decline then twists and turns to the right, before suddenly coming to a huge gaping hole in a rock wall. Beyond the rock wall are the dark and rusted gray walls of steel, leading into a small hallway.
08:34:03: Sour_Grape "I knew it!"
08:34:07: SmoothJazz trots up to Dust_Off's side. "So....how bout it?"
08:34:45: Dust_Off eyes the hole. "Kudos, Grape." She blinks at SmoothJazz's question. "How about what, Mister Jazz?"
08:35:47: Roy_Calbeck brings his glowing horn up to the gap and peers inside. Dubiously.
08:35:55: SmoothJazz chuckles. "Well, I said earlier I was going to ask you to dinner. So, when we get out of here, how about it?"
08:37:17: Sour_Grape walks towards the stable
08:37:31: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The steel-rusted hallway can be seen from the hole to the left a hallway big enough to fit three full grown stallions of average size. It leads to staircase that juts to the right. To the right on the opposite side, the hall leads down to a door that has blood smears and dried ichor covering the hall and doors. Above the door is a sign that says, "Atrium".
08:38:09: Dust_Off blinks. "Oh! The questions about meal size..." She facehoofs. "How can I be so..." She looks back at SmoothJazz. She looks him over. "Will you allow me to think about? After we get to safety definitely." She hurries after the filly into the stable, pray to Murtaugh it was lit.
08:38:50: SmoothJazz smiles. "Sure thing, doll." He chuckles and trots after the ponies
08:38:55: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The walls are indeed lit up, reducing Dust_Off's claustrophobia to her normal phobia levels.
08:39:00: Roy_Calbeck stays with, keeping the area lit as well as his feeble spell can.
08:39:31: Sour_Grape "Here we are! A stable. Lets find loot."
08:39:46: Dust_Off sighs relief. "Thank you, Murtaugh, may your hair never thin totally..."
08:39:55: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape's world dulls noticably as the mint-als wear off. Her mind is sluggish and her reactions slow, as her brain begins to feel like putty, from the withdrawl effects.
08:41:30: Sour_Grape stumbles suddenly her head feeling all. Foggy. Argh, they alwyas wore off too soon. She couldn't be any help to anypony like this. She feels her mint-al stock weighing heavy in her back but the other ponies are too close, and they'd notice
08:42:31: Dust_Off steps past the filly to look intently at the blood smears and where they go.
08:43:02: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes the blood smears seem to drag back into the hole they came from, as well as lead into the door ahead, which is closed.
08:43:04: Roy_Calbeck stops and puts a hoof on Sour's shoulder. "You okay? You look kinda like that stuff you ate finally caught up with ya."
08:43:56: Sour_Grape blinks up at Roy, "yeah... that it." She smiles weakly. "Just needa get my strength back. Don't worry. lets just get some loot and make some caps."
08:44:05: Dust_Off glances back at Roy and Sour. "She did vomit a few times. Grape, drink up. You may be dehydrated."
08:44:34: Sour_Grape flusters at suddenly being treated like a filly but does what she is told
08:45:11: SmoothJazz looks around at his surroundings
08:45:20: SmoothJazz whistles. "creeeeepy."
08:45:44: Roy_Calbeck nods and moves forward.
08:46:17: Dust_Off follows behind Roy, drawing her Merlin.
08:46:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck is now in the rusted steel hallway. He can go towards the messy door at the right end. Or turn left and go to the staircase that juts down to the right at the end of that said hallway
08:46:51: Sour_Grape walks past Roy and opens the door without thinking to ask. Her brain felt like it ran into a brick wall
08:46:58: SmoothJazz trots after Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck
08:46:58: <Roy_Calbeck> "Hm. I'm thinking stairwell... ooooor not."
08:48:28: Roy_Calbeck levitates out the SMG as Sour tries the door.
08:49:33: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape opens the door with the sign that says, "Atrium" above it. Opening with a loud horrendous screeching sound, she sees that the next room is a giant spacious one, with a knocked over table facing them. It had many holes and gouges in it. Lots of blood an ichor smear the ground. There are several doors in this room as well as a second level and a giant circular window that overlooks the room.
08:50:15: <Roy_Calbeck> "NOT good."
08:50:17: SmoothJazz looks at the door. "Could use some oil."
08:50:31: Roy_Calbeck nips at Sour's tail to pull the filly back from the door.
08:50:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 On the first floor, they can see a door to the right as well as two doors to the left, which are spaced quite aways from one another. Above one of the doors a sign says, "OVERMARE", which is furthest from their position at the door. The other sign reads, "LIVING QUARTERS."
08:51:07: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The right door has a sign that reads, "KITCHEN".
08:51:08: Sour_Grape acks as she is dragged away, "Whadda doing?"
08:51:35: SmoothJazz looks up at the window and thinks before nodding. "Might be some maps up there."
08:52:08: Dust_Off looks at the blood. "That's probably a sign of death there. That much blood outside the body.." She steps forward and pokes her head into the room for a better look. "I think we should take a look the Overmare's room...office thing."
08:52:30: SmoothJazz nods. "I second this motion."
08:52:34: Roy_Calbeck lets go. "Well, aside from all the dried blood and dragmarks and loud sudden noise, whaddya THINK might be in there that I was dragging you back from?
08:52:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz can note that many chairs also are stacked near the table in various positions, lots of them with huge gouge marks and holes. Various plates and kitchen ware also scatter the floor.
08:52:52: Sour_Grape nods at that, "Uh, yeah. Totally." She turns to Roy, "Oh... I'm sorry."
08:53:16: <Roy_Calbeck> "Guys? I'm liking that stairwell over there instead of going in that atrium."
08:53:20: SmoothJazz tuts. "Dragged off in the middle of dinner. Shame..."
08:54:14: Sour_Grape looks between Dusty and Roy not sure who to agree with. Her brain says to sit still and not say anything so she does
08:54:35: Dust_Off looks back at at the others. "I'd really like to see the Overmare's room...but let's take a look at the stairs first."
08:55:12: Roy_Calbeck heads up the stairs, on point, with SMG floating ahead at the ready.
08:55:22: Sour_Grape nods dumbly and follows along feeling useless
08:56:21: Dust_Off follows with her trusty Merlin at the ready. The pegasus looks concerned at her fellow flier.
08:56:25: SmoothJazz looks up at the window one more time before trotting after the others
08:57:02: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz notes the circular window has a HUGE blood splatter, with a giant blood streak that looks like something has slid down it.
08:57:31: SmoothJazz "Welp. That's scary."
08:57:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Turning around, Roy_Calbeck and the rest of the group, save for SmoothJazz, are head down the other hallway and turn to the right, The stairway juts down then seems to cut off to the right again.
08:58:10: SmoothJazz was actually trotting after them.
08:58:15: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz trots behind them.
08:58:32: Roy_Calbeck follows the stairway, slowly. The unicorn checks for tripwires.
08:58:43: SmoothJazz thanks the green text for correcting its errors
08:59:01: Dust_Off stays close to Sour_Grape, worried about her.
08:59:32: Sour_Grape looks back at Dust off and smiles. She has a good fake smile, but it only lasts until she looks away again
08:59:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 To Roy_Calbeck's relief there seems to be no tripwires or traps of anykind. As he reaches the bottom of the winding staircase, the group behind, he notices a large door similar to the other one that leads to the atrium. A sign above reads, "MAINTENENCE" with many many many gouges and tears at the door.
09:00:18: Roy_Calbeck checks the door to see if it's locked.
09:00:51: Sour_Grape wonders what made the gouges
09:00:54: Dust_Off eyes the gouges. "This is so much better, Mister Calbeck."
09:01:26: <Roy_Calbeck> "Whatever made these marks didn't get in. If we can, odds are we won't run into it."
09:01:31: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Indeed as Roy_Calbeck approaches the door and presses the access panel, which is also very slightly slashed, red text appear on the display screen saying, "ACCESS DENIED. REQUEST CLEARANCE FROM OVERMARE, OVERRDE AUTHORITY: Luna Midnight Royal"
09:01:55: Sour_Grape blinks, "Whats wrong?"
09:01:59: <Roy_Calbeck> "Oh fuck me with a power hammer, SERIOUSLY?"
09:02:31: Dust_Off looks at the display. "Overmare's office..room...place."
09:02:32: SmoothJazz "Isn't the Overmare's office the one with the window?"
09:02:49: Roy_Calbeck sighs. "Yeah."
09:03:22: Sour_Grape nods, "oh, lets go."
09:03:51: Roy_Calbeck levitates the PipBuck up out of his bag. "But hey, nothing ventured..." He waves the detached piece of equipment at the scanner.
09:04:41: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pipbuck still says, "ENTER PASSWORD:_______" waving it with the rotted leg attached does not do anything, though the rotted smell is a lot stronger now.
09:04:48: <Dust_Off> "Nothing earned."
09:05:07: SmoothJazz "Erm...I think we may find what happened if we go up there. Weird blood smear on the window."
09:05:08: Dust_Off turns around. to go back down the stairs.
09:05:20: Roy_Calbeck shrugs, replacing the leg and its PB in his bag. "Guess it's through the crazy place we go then. If we're set on this?"
09:05:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off leads the way back up the stairs and back into the hallway that leads out into the Ant tunnels or back down to the door leading into the Atrium.
09:06:53: Sour_Grape turns to the atrium
09:07:01: Dust_Off shrugs. "We might as well. I'd kill to get my hooves on some better medical supplies. This place has to have some." She goes towards the Atrium, Merlin in mouth...marvelous who she talks around it.
09:07:45: Roy_Calbeck trots up to take point again. "Then if we're going in, better to have the pony in the toughest shell up front.
09:07:58: <TenMihara> Huh
09:08:06: <Dust_Off> ...SPAH!
09:08:23: <Dust_Off> (Wrong channel)
09:09:59: Roy_Calbeck brings up the SMG again as the group enters the Atrium at last. "Besides, if this all goes south, you guy's'll get some schadenfreude out've it."
09:10:10: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off and Roy_Calbeck are in the front of the expansive hallway. Followed by Sour_Grape, SmoothJazz, and Ammy. They enter into the atrium and are at the door, where they saw everything in the room originally. There is another door further down and on the right with a sign they cannot read.
09:10:35: Dust_Off angles towards the Overmare...place.
09:10:43: Roy_Calbeck points. "Oh look. An unreadable thing. Perhaps there is an insignia."
09:10:57: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 They cannot read it from their current vantage point that is.
09:10:59: Roy_Calbeck , snark complete, joins Dusty.
09:11:37: Sour_Grape blinks and follows after after a delay
09:11:41: SmoothJazz trots up to Roy and Dusty. "Shall we?"
09:11:44: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off begins to head towards the door that has the sign reading, "OVERMARE", noting to the right the sign over the furthest ride directly opposite of the door she was heading too, read "CLINIC"
09:12:05: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck quickly trots up to Dust_Off's side.
09:12:26: SmoothJazz points to the clinic. "Wanna loot that first, doll?" He says to Dust_Off.
09:12:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape and SmoothJazz, with Ammy are not too far behind.
09:12:40: Sour_Grape looks at the signs, "Me and Dusty should go to the clinic, Roy and Smooth go to the Overmare. Twice the loot, half the time
09:13:19: SmoothJazz nods and walks towards the Overmare door. "Got my back, soldier boy?"
09:13:24: Dust_Off looks at the unreadable thing...drawn for a moment. But the clinic is attractive...she looks back at the filly. "That sound okay to you boys? Ammy could come with us."
09:13:47: Roy_Calbeck snorts. "Split up. That always works out well."
09:14:01: SmoothJazz chuckles. "Not like we're going far, Roy."
09:14:06: Sour_Grape "if anyone needs help scream, so if you get attack we come from behind. Boom, surronded"
09:14:09: <Roy_Calbeck> "We all stick together, or I'm leaving."
09:14:23: Sour_Grape "All stick together... or you'll go alone?"
09:14:28: Sour_Grape brain fries at that logic
09:14:43: <Roy_Calbeck> "Back the way where everything's dead, to be paid for our job? SURE."
09:15:01: Sour_Grape rolls her eyes, "Whatever."
09:15:08: SmoothJazz "You do know that other nasty things may have found thier way down here, right?"
09:15:20: <Roy_Calbeck> "Which is exactly WHY I don't want to split up."
09:15:44: Dust_Off sighs. "Roy's right. Let's stick together. Let's go to the Overmare's quarters." Dusty walks that way.
09:15:44: SmoothJazz "And yet you want to leave and face them alone?"
09:15:50: Roy_Calbeck follows.
09:15:55: SmoothJazz follows too
09:16:08: Sour_Grape itches to go the clinic but follows
09:17:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group head to the door that leads to the sign that says "OVERMARE". as the approach the door, they note that it does not open all the way. Something is keeping the door stuck.
09:17:42: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 It does not open wide enough for even a foal to squeeze through.
09:17:43: Sour_Grape folows with her head down
09:18:10: SmoothJazz looks at the door being stuck. "Dammit." He mutters. "Any ideas?"
09:18:13: Dust_Off peers through the door, Merlin at the ready.
09:18:23: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The access panel reads, "ERROR ERROR: Unable to Open, contact your maintenence department."
09:18:43: Sour_Grape "Can I shotgun it?"
09:18:48: <Dust_Off> "Oh C'mon!"
09:19:06: SmoothJazz tries to take a peek at what's obstructing the door
09:19:39: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smoothjazz cannot tell what exactly is preventing the door from opening it. Looking underneath he can't see anything on the otherside that would be obstructing it.
09:20:11: SmoothJazz tries to see if he can't see the window from under the door
09:20:46: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off also cannot see anything different from SmoothJazz. There is no window.
09:21:42: SmoothJazz looks back up. "I thought the Overmare's office had a window..."
09:22:18: <Roy_Calbeck> "Looking out over the atrium, yeah."
09:22:47: SmoothJazz "Then this isn't the Office."
09:22:54: Sour_Grape "What about... matenince... go there"
09:24:01: <Roy_Calbeck> "We did that, need Overmare clearance."
09:24:25: SmoothJazz "Well we're not getting in there."
09:24:46: Dust_Off frowns. "I'll fly over to the window and look in...maybe get in that way."
09:25:08: Sour_Grape blinks
09:25:10: <Dust_Off> The pegasus gets up and goes back to the atrium. "Let's look in the clinic first."
09:25:18: <Sour_Grape> "Lets go to the cli-yeah that"
09:25:46: SmoothJazz trots after Dust_Off
09:25:57: <Dust_Off> The pegasus continues to the door with the clinic emblazoned on it.
09:26:34: Roy_Calbeck follows the group, looking behind him now and again.
09:26:35: Sour_Grape follows after
09:27:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group head over to the door with the CLINIC sign, they note as the look behind the overturned table lots of blood smears and even ichor.
09:28:05: SmoothJazz looks around. "eew... There's a reason i'm a musician and not a waster..."
09:29:10: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Reaching the door, it opens thankfully at their touch, revealing another room, smaller than the atrium, with three examining tables. To their right sides are holding trays with various spilt medical items, scalpels, bonesaws, clamps and such.
09:29:48: Sour_Grape starts scavenging right away!
09:29:51: Dust_Off looks around the room. Her eyes light up. She makes right for the tools.
09:30:12: Roy_Calbeck steps inside and turns around, covering the entry with the SMG.
09:30:17: <Dust_Off> "Oh yes and yes and yes...implements, real ones!"
09:30:29: <Dust_Off> The pegasus squees...just a bit.
09:31:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 There is also two boxes on the side of a wall with X-RAY mirrors, the boxes inbetween the mirrors have insignias with three butterflies on them. There are more blood smears, with two of the smears being dragged from the examining tables leading out to the atrium. There is also a computer terminal to their right of the entrance they came from.
09:31:07: SmoothJazz chuckles. "A wasteland doctor's heaven."
09:31:17: Roy_Calbeck winces for a moment, turns to look in Dusty's direction, and asks, "If you find any heart medication, lemme know, willya?"
09:31:56: Sour_Grape looks at the medical boxes. Please have mint-als pretty please
09:32:19: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds three scalpels, two bonesaws, four clamps, a stethoscope, and two medical braces.
09:32:56: SmoothJazz looks at Roy_Calbeck. "Got a heart problem?"
09:33:18: Roy_Calbeck shakes his head. "If she keeps making those noises, I WILL."
09:34:19: Dust_Off puts them into her pack, marveling at each shiny one. "These are very nice..." She puts all the tools into her back and turns, noticing the computer. She heads over to it.
09:34:29: ammy looks at the complicated medical stuff 'bleg Cogs and greese is all I want none of this here computer junk"
09:36:16: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape opens the right box and finds only two medical bandages and a bottle of purified water in it. Going over to the left one she opens it and finds two more medical bandages, two healing potions, one container of med-x, one radaway and one Hydra, as well as ten bobby pins.
09:36:39: Sour_Grape grrrrs and kicks the box
09:36:52: SmoothJazz "Problem, Sour?"
09:36:52: Sour_Grape then takes the healing potions and bandages
09:36:56: Sour_Grape "No."
09:36:57: Dust_Off concentrates on the computer. "What did you find, Grape? Nothing?"
09:38:19: Sour_Grape grabs the rest of the supplies and gets an idea, "Some stuff, I'll bring the stuff I don't need over. You use it better."
09:40:05: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, attempts to crack the oversimplifed code on the terminal, but fails repeatedly, the computer code starts to flash, "WARNING LOCK-OUT IMMINENT!!!" before she decides to switch it off in frustration.
09:40:57: Dust_Off snorts. "Stupid machine."
09:40:59: ammy is peeking over the shoulder of the filly "Dust, would healing bandages make this damn thing scab over faster?" she says tapping her crusty wound
09:42:02: Sour_Grape "Oh you're busy... i'll just put these things in your backpack then"
09:43:07: Dust_Off reboots the terminal to try again. "Grape, could you put them in bags please while I fight this thing. Ammy, I don't think they will. Your skin and hide are damaged, but they'd need better tools than I had...I might have them now, but I wouldn't want to work here."
09:43:55: Sour_Grape puts the med-x rad-away hydra and bobby pins and water into Dust's bag... and at the same time tries to steal the tin of mint-als
09:44:05: Roy_Calbeck mutters over his shoulder, keeping an eye on the doorway into the atrium. "Yeah. Working here would prolly be a BAD thing."
09:44:13: ammy "I don't care about the scars, it's more the scab, get it healed over quicker"
09:45:24: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off attempts once more and goes to change her tactics. She selects the wrong ones over and over again, but notices that certain brackets erase the duds. Unfortunately she slips and accidently hits one of the wrong brackets causing the code to dissappear and the terminal display. "TERMINAL LOCKED. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR."
09:46:02: Dust_Off growls and facekeyboards.
09:46:58: SmoothJazz trots over to Dust_Off. "What's up?"
09:47:19: Dust_Off mumbles around the keys. "I hate computers..."
09:47:54: SmoothJazz pats her back. "We all do."
09:48:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Sour_Grape plants the items she said she would, she grins eviliy and goes wide-eyed in anticipation as she spots the tin of mint-als. Licking her lips, she shakes somewhat as she starts to pull out the mint-als Alerting Dust_Off immediately that somepony is stealing something from her!
09:49:41: Sour_Grape has the tin in her mouth and looks up guiltily at Dust
09:49:46: Dust_Off jerks up from the tug on her bags and looks around to find Sour_Grape with her hooves in her bags. "What do you think you're doing?"
09:50:07: Sour_Grape drops the tin, "Uh... I found this... and was giving it to you..."
09:51:02: ammy glances at the scene unfolding not taking her eyes off the faded posters
09:53:38: Dust_Off narrows her eyes. "Another tin of Mintals then? Put it in the bag."
09:54:14: Sour_Grape already did, "Sorry, I was feeling week and my back leg gave out a little so i accidently tugged..."
09:54:44: Dust_Off nods. "Uh huh."
09:55:22: Sour_Grape goes to see if she can scavenge anything else from the clinic
09:55:52: Dust_Off shakes her head at the filly, at the computer. There was a head to shake. She look over the clinic one last time.
09:56:37: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group notes that there is nothing else of value in the clinic to take.
09:57:34: Dust_Off sighs. "I'll go take a look at the window." She walks around of the clinic and into the atrium.
09:57:46: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off is now back in the atrium
09:57:49: SmoothJazz snoops around the atrium
09:58:24: Dust_Off rolls her neck and then leaps into the air. She flaps her wings and makes her way over to the bloody window.
09:58:28: Roy_Calbeck follows, on guard.
09:59:41: Sour_Grape follows after Roy for some reason feeling ashamed. it didn't make any sense. She stole things all the time, she should be caring at all
10:00:17: SmoothJazz "See anything?" He calls up to Dust_Off
10:00:33: <ammy> is trotting along behind the group absent mindedly looking at all the stables corners, she had never been in one before
10:00:59: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz notes under a chair behind the table, there is a keycard with writing on the back of it. It looks like it could fit a computer terminal. Dust_Off looks though the bloodied window and notes there is a large circular platform with a chair in the middle. There are two corpses in the room, as well as a large computer terminal that looks like it has power. There is a door to the right of the large circular platform chair.
10:01:48: SmoothJazz pulls the keyboard out. "Found something!"
10:02:42: Roy_Calbeck grins. "Finally, a break... nice!"
10:02:45: Dust_Off peers around the room. "There's two dead ponies inside...a large desk and terminal." Dusty looks to see how thick the window is, if she could blast it.
10:03:28: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off is not sure how thick a stable overmare's window is. Though there is legends from other scavengers that they've survived direct missile impacts.
10:04:54: Dust_Off snorts. "Nothing doing here." She flies back to the group and lands. "What does the keycard say?"
10:06:10: SmoothJazz looks at the writing. Can he read? Lets find out!
10:06:39: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz looks down and notes the keycard says, "Armory Locker".
10:06:55: SmoothJazz "Armoury locker." He CAN read!!
10:07:45: Dust_Off smiles. "That should be a good haul....Ooo..maybe we can find something open the door to the Overmare's."
10:08:04: SmoothJazz smiles. "Then lets go find us an armoury!"
10:08:15: Sour_Grape just sort of stands there her brain feeling weak and useless
10:09:16: <ammy> Clops her hooves "A FULLY equipped armory?" She smiles uncontrollably her scab cracking
10:10:49: Roy_Calbeck looks around at all the holes in things. "Not likely FULLY equipped at this particular junction...."
10:12:32: <Dust_Off> "But think of it! Gem-cells galore. Stable Tec took all kind of things into the dirt with them."
10:12:51: ammy "Come on, the fact its a stable and it has a keycard makes it more than likely still intact"
10:15:58: SmoothJazz "Then lets find it."
10:16:06: Sour_Grape agrees
10:16:07: Dust_Off takes the keycard. "Alright, gang, let's find us an armory!" She jumps into the air, freezing for the final shot.
10:16:22: SmoothJazz pretends to take a picture.
10:16:24: Sour_Grape watches her blankly hoping her mint-alls will fall out
10:17:09: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Once again, the group is in the main atrium. They cannot enter the door that says, "OVERMARE" the clinic is a dead end and looted of all valuables. There is the door that says "MAINTENENCE" which leads to the open ant tunnels and the other door which is locked.
10:17:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 They can either go there or go to the doors that say, "LIVING QUARTERS" to the right or "KITCHEN" to the left.
10:19:05: <Roy_Calbeck> "Well, odds are that the armory won't be off of the kitchen --- unless they cooked things they had to kill with heavy ordnance first."
10:19:51: Dust_Off lands....well that didn't work.
10:20:38: Dust_Off looks around. "Living Quarters then? Maybe access through there?"
10:20:48: <Roy_Calbeck> "S'what I'm thinking."
10:21:46: Dust_Off nods. "Let's go then." The mare leads the ways. Pegasi lead the WAY!
10:22:06: Sour_Grape follows Dust off
10:22:31: Roy_Calbeck follows to ensure the pegasi don't get their collective butts shot off.
10:23:09: SmoothJazz trots up beside Dust_Off. "Hey, I thought it looked badass. The whole pose thing." he whispers.
10:23:23: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off heads to the door with the "LIVING QUARTERS" sign above it, Sour_Grape follows in suit, then Roy_Calbeck, Colt Hansen eyeing him along the way. SmoothJazz hurries his stride to catch up to Dust_Off.
10:24:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy seems to be entrances with the fact she's actually in a stable. Silly zebra.
10:24:52: Roy_Calbeck seems to be a bit on the touristy side, himself.
10:24:52: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Seems to be enthralled. Don't mock me. Consequences will follow.
10:24:59: Dust_Off sighs. "Thank you, Mister Jazz. I don't know what came over me." She goes to the door, opens if necessary even.
10:25:42: Sour_Grape seems to be a bit on why is everything to grey side
10:26:16: <Roy_Calbeck> "Looks like the inside of a Drop...*coughcough* nevermind..."
10:26:41: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off and SmoothJazz are in the front, followed by Sour_Grape and Roy_Calbeck. Ammy is still by her lonesome. The door indeed does open to reveal a staircase that goes up somewhat then cut to the left, ascending upwards.
10:26:57: SmoothJazz "Drop?" He calls back.
10:27:07: <Roy_Calbeck> "Nothing...!"
10:27:23: Dust_Off looks back at Calbeck for a moment.
10:27:30: Roy_Calbeck gallops up the stairs. "Got point!"
10:27:50: Sour_Grape "Huh?"
10:27:55: SmoothJazz looks at Roy_Calbeck's dust cloud, then looks at Dust_Off. "Seems a little off, huh..."
10:28:17: Roy_Calbeck has his SMG out and makes his way upstairs at a brisk, if not actually dangerous, pace.
10:28:19: Dust_Off looks after him. "Was just going to ask that. Thank you, Mister Calbeck." She follows him up.
10:28:56: SmoothJazz trots upstairs
10:29:14: ammy snaps out of her curious eye exploring and catches up
10:29:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck blows by Dust_Off, followed by Dust_Off. then SmoothJazz and Sour_Grape. Ammy bolts as fast as her stripped flank allows her too, falling in behind Sour_Grape.
10:30:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, notices there is a door. Underneath leading through is more dried blood, that goes down the staircase. Many bulletholes and ichor splattering is over the walls.
10:30:49: Roy_Calbeck screeches to a halt. "Ooookay."
10:31:08: SmoothJazz looks around. "Yet another reason I don't explore."
10:31:35: Dust_Off looks at the damage. "At least they are consistent in their decorating choices..."
10:31:55: SmoothJazz nods. "Raider chic..."
10:32:02: <Roy_Calbeck> "Well, since we're going through here anyways..." The unicorn triggers the door mechanism.
10:32:24: Sour_Grape "No, raiders have bodies hanging from entrances to scare off idiots"
10:33:15: ammy "This stuff seems old enough
10:33:34: ammy "so whatever was killing is /hopefully/
10:33:39: SmoothJazz "Early raiders then. Not as mad, but still brutal."
10:33:42: <ammy> (dead)
10:34:04: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 With another horrific rusted screeching sound, the door opens to another spacious hallway similar to the one they first entered in the stable. The hallway is long with doors that flank both sides. At the end of the hallway, it cuts to the right. Though it's faint, Roy_Calbeck can make out an enlarged shadow at the end there, up against the wall.
10:34:17: Sour_Grape shakes her head, "Jazz, don't talk shit about what you don't understand."
10:34:59: <Roy_Calbeck> "Hold up. Company."
10:35:15: ammy laughs "Fillies got some horns on her"
10:36:12: <Roy_Calbeck> "Something's down at the end of the hallway."
10:36:24: Sour_Grape "We could, I dunno, kill it?"
10:36:36: Roy_Calbeck levitates out his rifle. "Lemme get a bead on it first."
10:37:19: Dust_Off scoots against the way. "Mister Jazz, hit it with that flare spell you have."
10:37:23: SmoothJazz looks at Sour_Grape. "Sorry, kid. Why don't you tell me about raiders some time?"
10:37:32: SmoothJazz lights up a flare
10:37:34: ammy unslings her rifle just incase this thing was hostile
10:37:45: Roy_Calbeck mouths the SMG this time for quick retreival and sights through his scope down the hall.
10:38:06: Sour_Grape takes out her shotgun, "How bout I don't." jeeze, way to touch a nerve
10:41:42: SmoothJazz backs away from Sour_Grape. He likes his kneecaps intact. "Alright then."
10:49:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck can see the walls of the stable clearer, but cannot make out what is casting the shadow.
10:50:07: Roy_Calbeck holds his fire. "Can't make it out. If you're gonna flash whatever that is, go for it."
10:53:24: Dust_Off nods. "Mesmerize it, Mister Jazz."
10:55:39: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz's horn flares significantly, much brighter then it had in the ant tunnels, as he unleashes a brighter and bigger ball of light and sound. It projects itself at the end of the hallway, brightly lighting it up, removing the shadow. Nothing can be heard as the ball of cacophonious light and sound go off.
10:56:04: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sound is defeaning in the hallways.
10:56:46: ammy winces and covers her ears
10:57:13: Sour_Grape winces a bit but her dulled senses lessen the blast
10:57:16: <Roy_Calbeck> "...RIGHT." The unicorn fires a single .308 round aimed at a point in space closer than the wall --- where something casting such a shadow might stand.
10:57:29: Dust_Off covers her ears. "Oh, bad plan." She looks around Roy at the thing
10:59:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, fires off a shot down and hits the wall on the opposite side of the hallway. Nothing seems to happen, as the spell continues to go off.
11:00:15: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 There is a mark where the bullet impacted/
11:00:47: <Roy_Calbeck> "Well, so much for that theory."
11:00:51: Roy_Calbeck reloads.
11:01:16: Sour_Grape groans and runs down the hall to meet this shadow thing face to face
11:01:26: Dust_Off snorts and follows after the filly.
11:02:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, Dust_Off race down the hallway, as they approach the very loud and bright ball, it messes with their senses, until they round the corner, the light no longer afflicting them. They do manage to discover to their shock two large ants, one brown and large, the other small right infront of them, another hallway ahead, though much shorter.
11:03:00: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Ants are completetly mesmerized by the ball.
11:03:28: Sour_Grape stares blankly at the small ant... "Hello dead things!" And unloads two buckshots at their fucking faces
11:04:21: <Dust_Off> "Grape, shoot once and fall back to the group!" Dust_Off rolls her neck and fires two aimed shots into the large, brown ant with her Merlin
11:13:36: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape unloads her shotgun on the ant and completely obliterate it with her weapon. The ichor and chunks explode from once was a small ant head and go flying everywhere splattering on her and Dust_Off as well as the big ant, who is still dazed. The body of the small ant stays upright for a moment, then just slumps lifelessly.
11:14:48: Sour_Grape cracks her neck, "Nailed it"
11:17:33: Roy_Calbeck goggles at the spray of ant mass from around the corner.
11:17:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off fires off two beams of red death into the body of the mesmerized large ant, causing it to shake and let loose a tremendous skree, which is only somewhat lower in volume then the fading mes ball.
11:18:30: Roy_Calbeck readies the rifle, sighting down the hall. "Okay..."
11:25:38: SmoothJazz gets into postion and readies a shot. "C'mon...work this time..."
11:28:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz, slides down the hallway and plants himself next to Dust_Off, firing off a round from his SMG into the large ant's body, causing it massive trauma, and letting loose another skree.
11:28:48: SmoothJazz woops! "Bout fucking time!"
11:30:31: Roy_Calbeck sighs. "If everypony else jumped off a cliff... me too, I guess."
11:30:56: Roy_Calbeck charges up, takes a spot, aims precisely, and takes his single shot.
11:32:45: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck slides much like SmoothJazz, and takes careful aim, planting a shot directly into the torso of the large ant, causing even more damage, the group notices lots of ichor is beginning to pool and flow out from the wounds.
11:34:01: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The large ant steps up somewhat and gnashes it's mandibles at Sour_Grape, being the first and closest of the bunch.
11:36:37: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Biting at her twice, it manages to clamp down on the filly's head, creating intense pain and pressure as it scrapes across her skull, when she instictively pulls back to dodge, ripping the flesh and tearing her snout almost off, a torrent of blood begins to spill out as her vision clouds and goes blurry. (-60 HP)
11:36:44: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The second bite completely misses.
11:37:16: <Dust_Off> "GRAPE!"
11:37:31: SmoothJazz "Oh hell."
11:37:46: Sour_Grape pain. so much pain of gawd. She wobbles and tries to keep her hooves under her. Was somepony talking. she heard voices, and skreeing. so much skreeing
11:38:46: SmoothJazz gets a healthpotion from his saddlebags, but can't administer it. Stupid rules!
11:38:58: ammy runs and quickly joins the others. she skids to a stop and aims a precise shot for the nearest ant
11:44:21: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy unloads a round into the large ant's right legs, causing it to buckle somewhat, but remain upright as it stares amongst the group. It releases another skree.
11:44:27: Sour_Grape pain and skreeing everywhere. need to move, to think. Something, do something. bullts. Right. She reloads her gun out of instint more than anything and takes an aimed shot at the beast. please hit. please oh celestia let it just kill it...
11:47:31: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape unleashes a load of buckshot that pelts the large ant in it's torso, ichor spews from the wounds and sprays over the group like a shower. A nice ichor-y shower of pus.
11:48:28: Roy_Calbeck turns his head to yell at Dusty. "GET HER OUTTA HERE!"
11:50:09: Sour_Grape smiles hearing roys voice. he'll save her...
11:51:25: Dust_Off rolls her neck and takes an aimed shot at the bug before getting leaping into the air. She grabs at Sour_Grape and prepares to whisk her off to safety. Looks like someone called...she wishes she had sunglasses...a Dust_Off.
11:51:30: <Dust_Off> yay~
11:51:44: SmoothJazz is wearing sunglasses
11:54:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off surging with sheer adrenaline, manages to roll her neck and blast the ant in the right legs again, causing it to falter and shudder somewhat, while gripping the wounded filly and lifting her off to safety, flying over the group and spectacularly landing perfectly on the ground, cradling the filly in her forelegs.
11:55:49: SmoothJazz has a healing potion ready.
11:56:02: Sour_Grape blinks up at the ant... that's wasn't an ant... a pony... why... "Momma?" no... no the pony had wings, momma doesn't have wings
11:56:26: Dust_Off holds her tight, now behind the group, having down an impressive Immelpony turn. "I've got you, Grape. Don't worry. I've got you."
11:57:16: ammy flicks up her rifle and shoots a precise shot at his at her previous targert
11:57:42: Sour_Grape is crying but doesn't realize it, "W-w-why does... i-it hurt... /so/ much?"
12:00:55: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy takes a precise shot, but the giant ant is so close, that when she looks up at it, the mes ball messes with her coordination, the bullet just fires off and ricochets somehow passed everything miraculously, EVEN MISSING THE GIANT ANT!
12:02:48: SmoothJazz runs with his healing potion ready to give to the injured Sour_Grape
12:02:58: SmoothJazz administers the potion
12:04:36: SmoothJazz runs back around the corner to take a snap shot
12:05:21: ammy Hopes they can handle the filly she is willing to use her potions to heal her if she has to
12:05:37: Roy_Calbeck drops the telekinetic hold on his rifle, letting it clatter to the floor. Spitting out his SMG, he grabs it with a fresh field, pulling it up and yanking the trigger back...
12:06:21: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz rushes and gives Sour_Grape a healing potion by splashing it around over her face amatuerishly, splashing a good deal over Dust_Off as well, getting her nice barding wet! Oh and Sour_Grape heals (+28 HP) the bleeding is lessened, but hasn't stopped.
12:06:56: Dust_Off shushes her Sour_Grape. "I'll fix it, Grape. It'll be just a minute." She looks up at the party. She couldn't go off by herself with a hurt filly. She'd need someone to watch her back while she worked.
12:06:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 SmoothJazz then rushes back and takes a quick shot off wildly at the ant, blowing off a couple of it's right limbs, as it falls to the ground and thrashes around somewhat. The resilient bastard is still alive though!
12:11:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck unleashes a volley of death into the giant ant's head as it lurches forward in an attack, the bullets blow back the head with each concussive impact, causing it to stop mid-air, then drop lifelessly to the ground. Ichor spilling all over the ground.
12:12:38: Roy_Calbeck takes a moment to spit on the corpse.
12:13:24: SmoothJazz woops and pats Roy_Calbeck on the back. "Great shot, daddy-o!"
12:13:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 This fight is far from over, however we must stop.
12:13:55: Dust_Off takes to the air again. "Follow me! Roy, I'm going to need your help. Everyone else guard the door. Clinic now!" The pegasus mare banks around and heads for the stairs.
12:14:03: Sour_Grape is loosing lots of blood. So much pain... "h-help..."
12:14:30: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 With Sour_Grape's head gushing blood and imminent danger just around the bend, how will the future pan out for our group?
12:14:31: SmoothJazz passes his last healing potion to Dust_Off before she zips off
12:14:42: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Find out next time on the next session of Star Group PnP.
12:14:43: Roy_Calbeck dashes for the Clinic...
12:14:51: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Session END
