Insanity and Murder

[13:24]  * Lyra_Bel goes to the edge to watch Alex make a bunch of C4 all over the place
[13:25] <Voices> As soon as Alex begins descending he immediately feels an overwhelming dread
[13:25]  * Alexander_Pyrite immediately flies back
[13:25] <Lyra_Bel> ??
[13:25]  * Alexander_Pyrite pulls out the computer
[13:26] <unmotivatedMeatshield> if i fly down there i'd go insane
[13:26] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I can feel it
 [13:26] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay then
 [13:27] <unmotivatedMeatshield> like even just barely down there i felt...
 [13:27] <unmotivatedMeatshield> like scared and sad
 [13:27] <snuffshotMartyr> Then we stay here
[13:27] <unmotivatedMeatshield> And leave him?
[13:27] <snuffshotMartyr> No
[13:28] <snuffshotMartyr> And figure out how to destroy the rocks from a distance
 [13:28] <snuffshotMartyr> Ugh, this'd be easier if Kek would just show up already
 [13:28] <snuffshotMartyr> So obviously he won't
[13:28] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Oh i got it
[13:28] <unmotivatedMeatshield> rocket launcher
[13:29] <snuffshotMartyr> O.O
[13:29] <snuffshotMartyr> Heck yes
[13:29] <snuffshotMartyr> Here, pass
[13:29]  * Lyra_Bel gestures for the pen
[13:29]  * Alexander_Pyrite tosses it to her
[13:29] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5 to draw a rocket launcher
[13:29] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 to draw a rocket launcher [ 1d20=8 ]{13}
[13:30] <unmotivatedMeatshield> plus if we have the rocket we can just go full worms
[13:30] <snuffshotMartyr> Let's do this
[13:30] <unmotivatedMeatshield> get a grappling hook
[13:30] <snuffshotMartyr> O.O
[13:30] <snuffshotMartyr> Perfect
[13:30] <unmotivatedMeatshield> worms was a great game
[13:30] <unmotivatedMeatshield> too bad i was absoluely shit at it
[13:30] <snuffshotMartyr> Never tried it
[13:31] <snuffshotMartyr> I think I recognize the name though
[13:31] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I've got it on my computer we can play when we get back
[13:31] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah, alright
[13:31] <snuffshotMartyr> So is it like a retro game or have they been remaking it for a century?
[13:31] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Nah, it's a retro game
[13:31] <Voices> < Grappling Hooks aren't good for grabbing on things and pulling them up >
[13:31] <unmotivatedMeatshield> had a remake in the 50s but that was it
[13:31] <snuffshotMartyr> Gotcha
 [13:32] <snuffshotMartyr> Let's do this then
 [13:32] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+1 to Rocket Launch
[13:32] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+1 to Rocket Launch [ 1d20=16 ]{17}
 [13:32] <Voices> You shoot the rocks. This couldn't possibly backfire and end up injuring Brofessor
[13:33] <Voices> The explosion shoots up a massive cloud of rock dust into the air, causing some coughing on your parts as a massive cloud hovers over the impact site, slowly dispersing
[13:34] <snuffshotMartyr> Oh man I think we overdid it again
[13:34]  * Alexander_Pyrite peers over the edge after the smoke parts
[13:34] <Voices> Your ears would probably be ringing if you weren't, you know, deafened
[13:34] <Alexander_Pyrite> "awesome"
[13:34] <unmotivatedMeatshield> maybe so
[13:34] <snuffshotMartyr> Should have tried it out on the crystal caves or something
[13:34] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I didnt think rockets blew stuff up so much
[13:34]  * Lyra_Bel shrugs
[13:34] <snuffshotMartyr> Cliff land is apparently really vulnerable to exploding
[13:35] <unmotivatedMeatshield> roll 1d20-1 to look for the shield
[13:35] <`DM> unmotivatedMeatshield rolled 1d20-1 to look for the shield [ 1d20=15 ]{14}
[13:35] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+2
[13:35] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+2 [ 1d20=10 ]{12}
[13:36] <Voices> The dust clears, but it's covering everything so much you can't really make out Brofessor
[13:36] <Voices> He'd just look like another rock or rock fragment
[13:36] <snuffshotMartyr> Bluh
[13:36] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Dammit
[13:36] <unmotivatedMeatshield> we overdid it
[13:37] <Voices> Maybe if you got closer...
[13:38] <snuffshotMartyr> Worth trying to take a closer look, d'ya think?
[13:38] <unmotivatedMeatshield> sure
[13:38] <unmotivatedMeatshield> let me, you're still in no condition
[13:38] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm fine
[13:38]  * Alexander_Pyrite carefully flies over
[13:38] <unmotivatedMeatshield> you cant feel your arms or legs
[13:39] <snuffshotMartyr> I just blew a massive hole in a freaking planet!
[13:39] <snuffshotMartyr> 'Sides, my legs are good enough to walk on
[13:39] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+2 to stand up
[13:39] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+2 to stand up [ 1d20=14 ]{16}
[13:39] <snuffshotMartyr> Y'see?
[13:40] <unmotivatedMeatshield> still
 [13:40] <Voices> You fly above the pit
[13:40] <Voices> A big sense of unease and guilt hangs over your conscious
[13:40]  * Alexander_Pyrite shakes his head
[13:40] <Alexander_Pyrite> "its just unease"
[13:41] <Alexander_Pyrite> "you got this"
[13:41]  * Alexander_Pyrite slowly lowers and looks again
[13:41] <unmotivatedMeatshield> roll 1d20-1
[13:41] <`DM> unmotivatedMeatshield rolled 1d20-1 [ 1d20=20 ]{19}
[13:42] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ((ez))
[13:43] <Voices> You think you see a corner of Brofessor sticking out of the rubble
[13:44] <Voices> Still feel uncomfortable going down there
[13:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Lyra, I see him
[13:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Awesome!
[13:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Any, um, side effects?
[13:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> i dont really want to go downt hter
[13:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> just
[13:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> fear
[13:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay
[13:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Come back then
[13:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Grappling hook time
[13:45]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies back
[13:45] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5 to draw a grappling hook
[13:45] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 to draw a grappling hook [ 1d20=16 ]{21}
[13:46] <Voices> You draw an excellent hook
[13:46] <snuffshotMartyr> You shoot.  I don't know where I'm looking
[13:46] <unmotivatedMeatshield> alright
[13:46]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies back out there
[13:46]  * Alexander_Pyrite locates him
[13:46] <Voices> Then realize this will in no way help you to grab an object, especially as your are not proficenct with it
[13:46] <unmotivatedMeatshield> wait this is stupid
[13:46] <unmotivatedMeatshield> woudlnt this just pull me in?
[13:47] <snuffshotMartyr> Uh
[13:47] <snuffshotMartyr> Shoot
[13:47] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay
[13:47] <unmotivatedMeatshield> that's even how they work in worms
[13:47] <snuffshotMartyr> Oh
[13:47] <unmotivatedMeatshield> why did i think this would work
 [13:48] <snuffshotMartyr> Alright
[13:48] <snuffshotMartyr> Back to the magnet plan, now he's not buried anymore
[13:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> screw it
[13:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> we're doing this
[13:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> roll 1d20+3 to grapple the shield
[13:48] <`DM> unmotivatedMeatshield rolled 1d20+3 to grapple the shield [ 1d20=10 ]{13}
[13:48] <Voices> You miss
[13:48] <Voices> You aren't naturally talented at throwing grappling hooks it seems
[13:49] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Oh man
[13:49] <Voices> This should be good practice for when you start up the grapple hook Olympics in your new universe though
[13:50] <snuffshotMartyr> No good?
[13:50] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Nope
[13:50] <unmotivatedMeatshield> You can dismiss the thing
[13:50] <snuffshotMartyr> Bluh
[13:50]  * Lyra_Bel does so
[13:50]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies back
[13:50] <snuffshotMartyr> Back to magnets?  He's not buried any more
[13:51] <unmotivatedMeatshield> sure
[13:51] <unmotivatedMeatshield> make a big one and ill get as close as i can
[13:51] <snuffshotMartyr> Here, one sec
[13:51] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5 to draw shirt
[13:51] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 to draw shirt [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[13:52] <snuffshotMartyr> Good enough
[13:52] <Voices> those are pants
[13:52] <Voices> With a hole in the crotch
[13:52] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5 to draw better shirt
[13:52] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 to draw better shirt [ 1d20=17 ]{22}
[13:52] <Voices> That's a shirt
[13:52] <snuffshotMartyr> Good enough
[13:52] <Voices> You think
[13:52] <Voices> You're pretty sure
[13:53] <Voices> That one voice in your head talking about the ants' usefulness isn't certain
[13:53] <Lyra_Bel> "Shut up seventeen."
[13:53] <unmotivatedMeatshield> oh right i forgot about the whole no pants thing
[13:53] <snuffshotMartyr> Change out of the armour.  Pants on the roof.  Whatever you do, don't put on the necklace I left there
[13:53] <unmotivatedMeatshield> got it
[13:53]  * Alexander_Pyrite grabs the shirt made of ink and flies over
[13:53]  * Alexander_Pyrite changes
[13:53] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5 to make a giant magnet above Brofessor
[13:53] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 to make a giant magnet above Brofessor [ 1d20=3 ]{8}
[13:53]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies back
[13:54] <Voices> Aw man, that necklesses is great though
[13:54] <Alexander_Pyrite> "yeah it did look cool"
[13:54]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies back
[13:54] <Voices> You aren't sure if you made the magnet or not
[13:54] <Voices> As in
[13:54] <Voices> Not sure if it is magnetic
[13:54] <snuffshotMartyr> Take 10
 [13:54] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 10+5 to make a giant magnet above Brofessor
[13:54] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 10+5 to make a giant magnet above Brofessor {15}
 [13:56] <Voices> You make the magnet
[13:56] <Voices> It doesn't float
[13:56] <Voices> Most objects don't float
 [13:56] <unmotivatedMeatshield> dont worry I'll carry it
 [13:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 10+5 to make a giant magnet above Brofessor in a hot air balloon
[13:57] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 10+5 to make a giant magnet above Brofessor in a hot air balloon {15}
[13:57] <unmotivatedMeatshield> or that
[13:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Scribblenauts logic
[13:57] <snuffshotMartyr> It works
[13:57] <snuffshotMartyr> On occasion
[13:57] <Voices> Lyra spends another ten minutes making a hot air balloon, only to have the shirt and magnet forcibly dismissed due to stress
[13:58] <snuffshotMartyr> BLUH
[13:58]  * Alexander_Pyrite sprints away
 [14:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay new plan
[14:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Too much stuff
[14:01]  * Lyra_Bel drops the balloon
[14:01]  * Lyra_Bel empties her Strife Specibus full of computers into her Sylladex before giving up on that too
[14:02]  * Lyra_Bel remakes the giant magnet, this time lying horizontal on the ground near Brofessor
[14:02] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5
[14:02] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 [ 1d20=17 ]{22}
[14:03] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Lyra
[14:03] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I dont have a shirt
[14:03] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5 to draw shirt
[14:03] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 to draw shirt [ 1d20=4 ]{9}
[14:03] <snuffshotMartyr> Wow I suck at this
[14:03] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5
[14:03] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 [ 1d20=1 ]{6}
[14:03] <snuffshotMartyr> OH FOR THE LOVE OF
[14:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 10+5
[14:04] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 10+5 {15}
[14:04] <snuffshotMartyr> There
[14:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Close enough
[14:04] <unmotivatedMeatshield> yeah
[14:04]  * Alexander_Pyrite jogs over and puts on the shirt
[14:05]  * Lyra_Bel averts her eyes
[14:06] <unmotivatedMeatshield> sorry
[14:06] <unmotivatedMeatshield> alright looks like evrything is ready
 [14:09]  * Lyra_Bel remakes the giant magnet, this time lying horizontal on the ground near Brofessor
[14:09] <snuffshotMartyr> [14:02] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 [ 1d20=17 ]{22}
 [14:10] <Voices> You do the thing
[14:10] <Voices> Now Brofessor is stuck on a magnet at the bottom of the pile of rubble
[14:10] <snuffshotMartyr> Heck yeah
[14:11] <snuffshotMartyr> It worked
[14:11] <snuffshotMartyr> A little bit
[14:11]  * Lyra_Bel dismisses the magnet and her various failed articles of clothing
[14:11] <unmotivatedMeatshield> nice
[14:11]  * Lyra_Bel makes another magnet slightly closer to the top of the rubble pile
[14:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+5
[14:11] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+5 [ 1d20=17 ]{22}
 [14:16]  * Lyra_Bel continues to ladder the Brofessor up in this manner, until he's near the top of the heap
[14:17] <snuffshotMartyr> And now we need to do a flyby
[14:17] <snuffshotMartyr> Fun
[14:18] <unmotivatedMeatshield> what if we made, like
[14:18] <unmotivatedMeatshield> a basket with a magnet in it
[14:18] <snuffshotMartyr> That might work, actually, yeah
[14:18] <unmotivatedMeatshield> then we flyby, let the magnet attract the shield, then we have the shiedl
[14:19] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 10+5 to do so
[14:19] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 10+5 to do so {15}
[14:19] <snuffshotMartyr> Like this?
[14:19] <unmotivatedMeatshield> looks good
[14:19] <snuffshotMartyr> Awesome
[14:19] <snuffshotMartyr> Let's do this
 [14:24]  * Lyra_Bel grabs the basketmagnetthing and floats over the mound
[14:24] <unmotivatedMeatshield> wait let me
[14:24]  * Alexander_Pyrite flies out with her
[14:24] <snuffshotMartyr> I can do this
[14:24] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm fine
 [14:25]  * Alexander_Pyrite hovers nearby
 [14:36] <Voices> You feel a sense of just horror build as you descend
[14:36] <Voices> Do you continue downwards?
 [14:37] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay yeah this sucks
[14:38]  * Lyra_Bel returns to the cliff
[14:38] <unmotivatedMeatshield> See, let me
[14:38] <unmotivatedMeatshield> acutally make a really long rope
[14:39] <snuffshotMartyr> Heh
[14:39] <snuffshotMartyr> Gotta love rope
[14:39] <unmotivatedMeatshield> true
[14:39] <snuffshotMartyr> Also glue
[14:39] <snuffshotMartyr> Best items in the game
[14:39] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ye
[14:39]  * Lyra_Bel makes a really long rope
[14:41] <snuffshotMartyr> So, what?  Tie it to the bucket and basically go fishing?
[14:41] <unmotivatedMeatshield> yeah
[14:41] <Voices> What could possibly go wrong?
[14:41] <unmotivatedMeatshield> or we could skip the basket and tie it directly to the magnet
[14:42] <snuffshotMartyr> True
[14:42] <snuffshotMartyr> Easier to sustain.  Let's go with that
[14:43]  * Lyra_Bel goes fishing with a magnet-on-a-rope
[14:43] <Voices> So let me get this straight
[14:43] <Voices> You've got about a 100+ foot rope
[14:44] <Voices> And you're trying to
[14:44] <Voices> Swing it
[14:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> no just hover over bro
[14:44] <Voices> Alright
[14:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> and slowly attatch him to the magnet
[14:45]  * Lyra_Bel does that
[14:45] <Voices> You successfully do the thing
[14:45] <Voices> A voice in your head mutters something about ants
[14:45] <unmotivatedMeatshield> did you get bro?
[14:45] <snuffshotMartyr> Think so
[14:46]  * Lyra_Bel coils the rope up, drawing the magnet and Brofessor steadily closer
[14:48] <Voices> This is slow work and the rope awkwardly dangles down like a pulley behind you
[14:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> here, let me
[14:49] <Voices> But you slowly start pulling up bro
[14:49] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm fine
[14:49]  * Alexander_Pyrite grabs the main rope and starts pulling him up faster
[14:49] <unmotivatedMeatshield> no offence
[14:49] <unmotivatedMeatshield> but its taking a while
[14:49] <snuffshotMartyr> Bluh
[14:49] <snuffshotMartyr> Fine
[14:49] <Voices> As bro begins to get closer something seems wrong
 [14:49] <unmotivatedMeatshield> could you grab the extra rope?
[14:49] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah sure
 [14:49] <unmotivatedMeatshield> cool
[14:50]  * Lyra_Bel takes the extra rope and pulls it out of the way
 [14:50] <Voices> Bro has a long deep crack running along the middle horizontally
[14:51] <snuffshotMartyr> Uh
[14:51] <Voices> His color has been reduced to a faded grey instead of the vibrant green he once was
[14:51] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Oh man
[14:51] <snuffshotMartyr> No
[14:51] <snuffshotMartyr> No no no no no
[14:51] <Voices> "This wouldn't have happened if we used the ants..."
[14:51] <unmotivatedMeatshield> hes... grey
[14:52] <Lyra_Bel> "SHUT UP!"
[14:52] <snuffshotMartyr> He's fine
[14:52] <snuffshotMartyr> He'll be okay
[14:52] <snuffshotMartyr> Right?
[14:52] <unmotivatedMeatshield> yeah of course
[14:52]  * Alexander_Pyrite finishes pulling up bro
[14:53] <Voices> Bro does not appear to be anything approaching fine
[14:53] <Alexander_Pyrite> "shit"
[14:53]  * Alexander_Pyrite grabs bro and brings him to the cliff
[14:54] <Voices> < I will never let you forget that ant comment >
[14:54] <Voices> Bro is not saying anything
[14:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "bro"
[14:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Bro i need you to talk to me"
[14:55] <Voices> No response
[14:55]  * Alexander_Pyrite shakes bro lightly
[14:55] <Alexander_Pyrite> "bro come on"
[14:55] <Voices> Silence
[14:55] <snuffshotMartyr> Alex?
[14:56] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Yeah
[14:56] <snuffshotMartyr> Does Brofessor normally talk out loud or in your head?
[14:56] <unmotivatedMeatshield> :0
[14:56]  * Alexander_Pyrite desperately tries to remember
[14:56] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I dont know
[14:56] <unmotivatedMeatshield> i never thought about it before
[14:56] <Voices> You don't... In your head?
[14:56] <Voices> You guess?
[14:56] <snuffshotMartyr> So there's still a chance
[14:56] <Voices> How would you be able to tell?!
[14:56] <snuffshotMartyr> Right?
[14:57] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I guess
[14:57] <unmotivatedMeatshield> i think it was in my head though
[14:57] <unmotivatedMeatshield> shit
[14:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay
[14:57] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay we can figure this out
[14:58] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Yeah we can do this
[14:58] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ...
[14:58] <unmotivatedMeatshield> how
[14:58] <snuffshotMartyr> I dunno
[14:58] <snuffshotMartyr> We'll think of something
[14:58] <Lyra_Bel> "Brofessor, we can't tell if you're talking to us right now"
[14:59] <unmotivatedMeatshield> wait
[14:59] <unmotivatedMeatshield> I have an idea
[14:59] <Lyra_Bel> "We've kind of been turned probably-temporarily deaf, because reasons"
[14:59] <snuffshotMartyr> Anything's worth trying
[14:59] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ok
[14:59] <Voices> You're doing a little bit better on that front
[14:59] <unmotivatedMeatshield> i need to talk to him privately though
[14:59] <snuffshotMartyr> Done
[15:00]  * Alexander_Pyrite picks up his trust shield
[15:00] <Voices> Like, you can make out some instinct noises when you walk and stuff
[15:00]  * Lyra_Bel heads inside
[15:00]  * Alexander_Pyrite brings him out of earshot of lyra
[15:00] <Voices> But that's not really relevant
[15:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Bro"
[15:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I did it"
[15:00]  * Alexander_Pyrite sighs
[15:00] <Alexander_Pyrite> "Lyra and I"
[15:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "ugh"
 [15:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "I got the bitches"
[15:01] <Voices> You see the crack along Bro's middle spread a little further as you talk
[15:01] <Alexander_Pyrite> "oh shiet"
 [15:01] <Voices> Meanwhile, what is Lyra doing inside?
 [15:01]  * Lyra_Bel tries to think of a plan
 [15:02]  * Alexander_Pyrite tries to press the shield back together
[15:02] <Voices> No effect
[15:02] <snuffshotMartyr> Roll 1d20+2 to think of a plan
[15:02] <`DM> snuffshotMartyr rolled 1d20+2 to think of a plan [ 1d20=9 ]{11}
[15:02] <Alexander_Pyrite> "augh"
[15:02]  * Alexander_Pyrite picks him up and brings him to Lyra
[15:03] <unmotivatedMeatshield> stupid idea didnt work
[15:03] <snuffshotMartyr> Bluh
[15:03] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay
[15:03] <snuffshotMartyr> Um
[15:04] <snuffshotMartyr> !!
[15:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Lanased might know
 [15:05] <snuffshotMartyr> He's kind of the only expert we've got on the topic
[15:06] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Sure
[15:06] <unmotivatedMeatshield> i'll try to avoid telling him about killing his cousin
[15:06] <snuffshotMartyr> Maybe a good decision
[15:06]  * Lyra_Bel flies to the crystal cave and enters
[15:06]  * Alexander_Pyrite follows
[15:07] <unmotivatedMeatshield> wait we cant hear him can we?
[15:07] <snuffshotMartyr> Don't worry
[15:07] <snuffshotMartyr> I have a plan for that
[15:07] <Lyra_Bel> "LANASED!"
[15:08]  * Lyra_Bel heads past the death pit, through the warehouse/wardrobe, and into the spider's workshop
[15:08] <unmotivatedMeatshield> creepy place
[15:08] <Voices> Roll me a DEX check Alex
 [15:09] <unmotivatedMeatshield> roll 1d20+1
[15:09] <`DM> unmotivatedMeatshield rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=18 ]{19}
[15:09] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ez
[15:09] <unmotivatedMeatshield> izi
[15:09] <unmotivatedMeatshield> .i.
[15:09] <unmotivatedMeatshield> jajaj
 [15:10]  * Lyra_Bel looks for Lanased the tailor-spider
 [15:11]  * Lyra_Bel conjures a piece of paper and grabs a mundane pen from her sylladex, and begins to write
[15:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Can't hear anything
[15:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Tell me everything you know about the crystals around the planet
[15:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Our friend might be dying
[15:12] <Voices> Lanased is a spider
[15:12] <Voices> While surprisingly proficent with tailoring tools
[15:12] <Voices> Spiders are not good at writing
 [15:13] <Voices> Lanased makes a helpless gesture with two of his middle legs
 [15:14]  * Lyra_Bel [SM] began pestering jocoseZirconium [JZ]
 [15:14] <snuffshotMartyr> Does your computer have a microphone?
 [15:14] <jocoseZirconium> Uh, I think so.
[15:14] <snuffshotMartyr> Awesome
[15:14] <jocoseZirconium> ... Yes.
[15:14] <snuffshotMartyr> Video chat, now
[15:14] <jocoseZirconium> No camera however.
[15:14] <jocoseZirconium> Its built into my robes.
[15:15] <snuffshotMartyr> Voice chat, then
[15:15] <jocoseZirconium> Sure.
[15:15] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm deaf right now, so I can't hear you
[15:15] <snuffshotMartyr> You're transcribing for a giant spider
[15:15] <jocoseZirconium> Alright then.
[15:15] <jocoseZirconium> Well I dont really have much else to do.
[15:15] <snuffshotMartyr> Awesome
[15:15] <snuffshotMartyr> I owe you one
[15:15] <jocoseZirconium> Derse is a long way for a dragon to fly apparently.
[15:15] <snuffshotMartyr> Or like ten if this works
[15:16] <Lyra_Bel> "Lanased!  Tell Zach what's up with the crystals."
[15:16] <snuffshotMartyr> Zach, type in what Lanased says
[15:16] <jocoseZirconium> Also, should I ask about why you're talking to giant spiders?
[15:16] <jocoseZirconium> Sure.
[15:16] <snuffshotMartyr> Later
 [15:16] <snuffshotMartyr> Alex, join the memo
[15:17] <jocoseZirconium> Wait, Alex is deaf too?
 [15:17] <snuffshotMartyr> Yes
 [15:17]  * Lyra_Bel gestures for Alex to join the memo
[15:17] <jocoseZirconium> Alright.
 [15:18] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Sup dude
[15:18] <unmotivatedMeatshield> you messaged me and i never got back to you
[15:18] <Lyra_Bel> "Lanased.  You have any idea what's up with our shield?  He kind of broke"
[15:18] <jocoseZirconium> Oh yeah I did.
[15:18] <jocoseZirconium> Hi!
[15:18] <unmotivatedMeatshield> hello
 [15:20] <Lanased> "He appears to be dead"
 [15:21] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> He appears to be dead.
[15:21] <Lyra_Bel> "Well crumbs.  How do we get him better?"
[15:22] <Voices> "... He's dead"
[15:22] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> He's dead.
[15:22] <unmotivatedMeatshield> NOOOOOOO
[15:22] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> (it added a bit pause at the beginning btw))
 [15:23] <Lyra_Bel> "I know it's possible to revive the dead.  How do we do it?"
 [15:24] <Lanased> "What are you even talking about?"
[15:24] <Lanased> "Dead is dead"
[15:24] <Lanased> "There's nothing you or I or anybody can do"
[15:24] <Lyra_Bel> "Kek said it was possible."
[15:24] <Lyra_Bel> "Equivalent exchange."
[15:24] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> ((yeah just imagine im typing it btw))
[15:25] <Lanased> "I don't know anything about that"
[15:25] <Lanased> "I can't help you"
[15:25] <snuffshotMartyr> ((And the relevance comes to an end))
 [15:25] <Lanased> "I understand you're upset but I can't help you"
 [15:26] <Voices> *Should've used the Ant*
[15:26] <Lyra_Bel> "The crystal turned grey.  What's up with that, then?"
[15:29] <Lanased> "He died"
[15:29] <Lanased> "That's what happens when you die"
[15:29] <Lanased> "You turn colorless and grey"
[15:29] <Lyra_Bel> "And what about all the unliving crystal that's green?"
[15:29]  * Lyra_Bel gestures to her shades
[15:30] <Lanased> "That Crystal is alive"
[15:30] <Voices> As if to punctuate Lanased's point the Crystal cracks in half fully and breaks into two
[15:30] <Lyra_Bel> O.O
[15:31] <Voices> <Crystal in Bro's sheild I mean <
[15:31] <Alexander_Pyrite> "OH FUCK"
[15:31]  * Alexander_Pyrite picks up bro
[15:31] <unmotivatedMeatshield> broo
[15:31] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ;-;
[15:31] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> Uh... Im not sure whats reeeally happening but i think im sorry for your loss?
[15:31] <Voices> *Thats another corpse on your conscious Alex*
[15:31]  * Lyra_Bel captchas the shield
[15:32] <snuffshotMartyr> Stasis
[15:32] <snuffshotMartyr> We'll get him out later
[15:32] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ok
[15:32] <Lyra_Bel> "My glasses are not alive"
[15:32] <Alexander_Pyrite> "shut up voices"
[15:32] <snuffshotMartyr> Better than letting this keep happening when we don't know how to solve it
[15:33] <Lanased> "They are"
[15:33] <Lanased> "Alive doesn't mean sentient"
[15:33] <Lyra_Bel> "Semantics."
[15:33] <Lanased> "No?"
[15:34] <Lanased> "Is a plant sentient?"
[15:34] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> (Am I gonna get tips for this? hehe)
[15:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Whatever.  Equivalent exchange.  Can I sacrifice this life to get his back, then?"
[15:34] <Lyra_Bel> "Use them to mend the damage?"
[15:35] <Lanased> "I don't know what you are talking about"
[15:35] <Lanased> "Why don't you ask this person who told you?"
[15:36] <Lyra_Bel> "He's off taking hours to do a simple fetch quest"
[15:36] <Lanased> "Wait until he gets back. I can't help you."
[15:36] <Lanased> "Now, please leave this place calmly"
[15:36] <Alexander_Pyrite> "wait calmly"
[15:37] <Alexander_Pyrite> "What does that mean"
[15:37] <Lanased> "Or I'll have you escorted out"
[15:37] * Lanased makes a shooing motion with two of its legs
[15:37]  * Lyra_Bel shakes her head
[15:37] <unmotivatedMeatshield> useless
[15:37] <Lyra_Bel> "Everyone here knows we can take you"
[15:37] <unmotivatedMeatshield> thanks anyway zach
[15:38] <Lyra_Bel> "But thank you."
[15:38] <Lanased> "You want to try take me and my spiders?"
[15:38] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah, thanks for everything
[15:38] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> Not a problem.
[15:38] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> I see something interesting, Derse will have to wait.
[15:38] <Lanased> "One bite is a lethal poison"
[15:38] <snuffshotMartyr> Excellent decision
[15:38] <snuffshotMartyr> Derse sucks
[15:38] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> I dunno i found some cool rocks
[15:39] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> and uh.
[15:39] <Lyra_Bel> "I'm not looking to fight"
[15:39] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> Yeah it sucks.
[15:39] <Lyra_Bel> "But don't threaten people"
[15:39] <Lyra_Bel> "S'not nice"
[15:41] <Lanased> "Then go"
[15:41] <unmotivatedMeatshield> do you have the flamethrower just in case?
[15:41] <snuffshotMartyr> I'm not flamethrowering Lanased
[15:41] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> I used to have a molotov cocktail.
[15:42] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> I wrote the code down if you want it.
[15:42] <snuffshotMartyr> So much
 [15:42] <unmotivatedMeatshield> hes not all that nice of a guy
[15:42] <snuffshotMartyr> Made me the armour
[15:42] <unmotivatedMeatshield> i guess
[15:42] <unmotivatedMeatshield> ooh could i get some of that?
[15:43] <snuffshotMartyr> Worth asking
[15:43] <unmotivatedMeatshield> lets just make it
 [16:14] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah.  Probably safer to just duplicate the armour than bother collecting another set
[16:14] <unmotivatedMeatshield> yeah he didnt seem in a giving mood
[16:14] <snuffshotMartyr> Heh
[16:15] <snuffshotMartyr> Alright then.  To the stuff!
[16:15]  * Lyra_Bel goes to the stuff
[16:15] <unmotivatedMeatshield> away!

[S] Alchemization Montage

[16:16] <unmotivatedMeatshield> so first lets try combining this armor and your armor
[16:16] <unmotivatedMeatshield> made of silk

[16:17] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> Oh right, before i go attack these imp guys and bail,
[16:17] <JZ|Voice-To-Text> do you want the molotov code?
[16:17] <snuffshotMartyr> Very much

[16:22] <unmotivatedMeatshield> or whatever the combob thing is

[16:24]  * Alexander_Pyrite makes it
[16:26] <Voices> < one minute >
[16:26] <Voices> > you don't have enough grist for sure >

 [16:42] <snuffshotMartyr> Think you found a combination that works?
[16:42] <unmotivatedMeatshield> and 75 tar i can make gold chainmail
[16:43] <snuffshotMartyr> Brofessor && Crawling Shell || Crystal Eyes
[16:43] <snuffshotMartyr> I don't have that much tar
[16:43] <unmotivatedMeatshield> darn

[16:44] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah, maybe
[16:44] <Voices> Looking Eye Facemask
[16:44] <snuffshotMartyr> There's gotta be a set of items we can combine to make this work
[16:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> isnt bro supposed to be really broken
[16:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> wait
[16:44] <unmotivatedMeatshield> idea
[16:45] <snuffshotMartyr> Listening
[16:45] <unmotivatedMeatshield> what if we went to the crystal caverns where i first found him?
[16:45] <snuffshotMartyr> Worth trying
[16:45] <snuffshotMartyr> Anything's worth trying
[16:46] <unmotivatedMeatshield> are you all ready to fight?
[16:46] <snuffshotMartyr> I guess
[16:46] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Im all healed up and have that extra shield so im ready
[16:46] <snuffshotMartyr> Right, the shield
[16:46] <snuffshotMartyr> Should we... ?
[16:47] <unmotivatedMeatshield> should we do what
[16:47] <snuffshotMartyr> Upgrade it
[16:47] <snuffshotMartyr> I mean, if we're replacing Brofessor...
[16:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Oh right
[16:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> maybe so
[16:48] <snuffshotMartyr> Are we?
[16:48] <unmotivatedMeatshield> well i think it's good to have a backup anyway
[16:48] <snuffshotMartyr> Yeah
[16:48] <snuffshotMartyr> Sure

[17:03] <Voices> < Uh >

 [17:09]  * Lyra_Bel dons the Spider Chain Vest
[17:10] <unmotivatedMeatshield> looking good
[17:10] <snuffshotMartyr> Thank you
[17:10] <snuffshotMartyr> I think
[17:10] <unmotivatedMeatshield> sorry that was a bit weird
[17:11] <snuffshotMartyr> This whole thing is weird
[17:11] <unmotivatedMeatshield> yeah
[17:11] <unmotivatedMeatshield> so should we make the gold shield
[17:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Sure
[17:12]  * Lyra_Bel alchemizes
[17:13] <snuffshotMartyr> Can I get the old one back, actually?
[17:13] <snuffshotMartyr> Better safe than sorry
[17:14] <unmotivatedMeatshield> Course
[17:14]  * Alexander_Pyrite hands it back
[17:14]  * Alexander_Pyrite takes the new shield
[17:15]  * Lyra_Bel straps the shield to her back
[17:15] <snuffshotMartyr> Was wearing this before Reggie made me captchalogue it
[17:16] <AlexanderPyrite> good taste
[17:17] <AlexanderPyrite> mine is better as you can see from the bright gold shield
[17:17] <snuffshotMartyr> Of course
[17:17] <snuffshotMartyr> Sparkles make every outfit better
[17:17] <snuffshotMartyr> :P
[17:17] <AlexanderPyrite> I guess :P
[17:17] <AlexanderPyrite> so where to?
[17:17] <snuffshotMartyr> I guess to the caves where you found him
[17:18] <AlexanderPyrite> sure
[17:18]  * AlexanderPyrite hovers up
[17:20] <AlexanderPyrite> ...
[17:20] <AlexanderPyrite> could you show me how the gates work?
[17:20] <snuffshotMartyr> Uh, sure
[17:21] <snuffshotMartyr> You kind of just fly through them
[17:21] <snuffshotMartyr> And hopefully continue to fly when you're on the other side
[17:21]  * Lyra_Bel captchas all her stuff and ascends through the gate
[17:21] <AlexanderPyrite> well ok
[17:21]  * AlexanderPyrite follows
[17:23]  * Lyra_Bel and Alex loop through the gates until they arrive at LOAAC
[18:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Hey, so
[18:01] <snuffshotMartyr> Back there
[18:02] <snuffshotMartyr> When we were trying to get Brofessor out of the crevice
[18:02] <AlexanderPyrite> yeah
[18:03] <snuffshotMartyr> What was that all about?
[18:04] <snuffshotMartyr> Like, following me out there, taking the rope, all that
[18:05] <AlexanderPyrite> I don't know
[18:05] <AlexanderPyrite> you didn't seem to be in the best physical condition
[18:05] <AlexanderPyrite> so I tried to help
[18:05] <snuffshotMartyr> And that's fine, just
[18:06] <snuffshotMartyr> I can do stuff
[18:06] <AlexanderPyrite> yeah but you were like, paralyzed recently
[18:06] <snuffshotMartyr> And you were trying to rip your tongue out recently
[18:07] <AlexanderPyrite> better mute than immobile
[18:07] <snuffshotMartyr> You were throwing up all over the place
[18:08] <snuffshotMartyr> Better immobile than uncontrollable
[18:09] <AlexanderPyrite> yeah I gues
[18:09] <AlexanderPyrite> but that's just because I... yeah I have no argument here
[18:09] <snuffshotMartyr> Going back to the Disney movie metaphor we were using before
[18:09] <snuffshotMartyr> I don't wanna be the helpless maiden that needs to get rescued
[18:09] <snuffshotMartyr> Okay?
[18:10] <snuffshotMartyr> I have been through the wringer with this game, and I'm not planning to suddenly break down and start whining for help now
[18:11] <AlexanderPyrite> I guess I understand that
[18:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Thank you
[18:11] <AlexanderPyrite> but I feel like, going back to the Disney movies
[18:11] <AlexanderPyrite> that I should at least be helping, ya know?
[18:11] <snuffshotMartyr> You are helping
[18:11] <snuffshotMartyr> Just don't do *everything*
[18:12] <snuffshotMartyr> If we're gonna make this work, we can't be arguing about who gets to do what
[18:13] <AlexanderPyrite> I guess

[18:48] <Voices> You're back to being semi-non deaf Lyra and Alex
[18:48] <Voices> Like
[18:48] <Voices> You hear like very elderly people now
