  1. [2011-12-26 19:46:20] <Soulless> Corbette is there, rifling through some documents.
  2. [2011-12-26 19:46:35] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan strides in. He's loaded for whatever wants to come his way.
  3. [2011-12-26 19:46:40] <Soulless> "Is this everyone?"
  4. [2011-12-26 19:46:56] <Sequence> Eva sidles over and hugs Rosalind.
  5. [2011-12-26 19:46:58] <Pemander> Marcus shrugs.
  6. [2011-12-26 19:47:08] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind hugs Eva back
  7. [2011-12-26 19:47:40] <Soulless> "This will be a different mission from most. You're goal is to retrieve something important... you"
  8. [2011-12-26 19:47:46] <Soulless> 'll know what it is when you get there*"
  9. [2011-12-26 19:47:51] <Soulless> *Your
  10. [2011-12-26 19:47:55] <ShockwaveLover> "I think this is it, Sir."
  11. [2011-12-26 19:48:20] <Soulless> He pats the submarine. "You all know what to do."
  12. [2011-12-26 19:49:00] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind gets into the sub
  13. [2011-12-26 19:49:11] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan follows.
  14. [2011-12-26 19:49:32] <ShockwaveLover> "Never did like these tin cans."
  15. [2011-12-26 19:50:12] <Pryor> Joseph follows behind duncan
  16. [2011-12-26 19:50:21] <Sequence> Eva gets into the sub.
  17. [2011-12-26 19:50:32] <Pryor> "never been in one, the fact it's a pool of blood is.. less than settling"
  18. [2011-12-26 19:50:32] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind curls up in her usual spot
  19. [2011-12-26 19:51:02] <Soulless> The sub closes and begins its descent.
  20. [2011-12-26 19:51:14] <ShockwaveLover> "Do we have any intel?"
  21. [2011-12-26 19:51:56] <Tara_Unknown> "About as much as usual. Get in the sub, something's going to happen"
  22. [2011-12-26 19:52:15] <Pryor> "we're in the sub, he's sittin' right next to me"
  23. [2011-12-26 19:52:16] <Pemander> "Aye. We ever going to get a /real/ briefing around here?"
  24. [2011-12-26 19:53:01] <Tara_Unknown> "Doubtful"
  25. [2011-12-26 19:53:12] <Sequence> "Nope!"
  26. [2011-12-26 19:53:24] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan sighs. "Business as usual..."
  27. [2011-12-26 19:54:00] <Sequence> "Yep!"
  28. [2011-12-26 19:54:05] <Sequence> Eva is far too cheerful.
  29. [2011-12-26 19:54:10] <Soulless> The sub's windows become grimy and stained with mud.
  30. [2011-12-26 19:54:50] <ShockwaveLover> "Oh, great."
  31. [2011-12-26 19:55:00] <Tara_Unknown> "And we're in a place that probably shouldn't exist. Again"
  32. [2011-12-26 19:55:30] <ShockwaveLover> "Alright, Marcus and I will secure the LZ."
  33. [2011-12-26 19:55:32] <Soulless> Perception, everyone.
  34. [2011-12-26 19:55:37] <Pemander> Marcus grins. "Probably shouldn't? Only by our provincial views of the world!"

  45. [2011-12-26 19:57:59] <Soulless> As the hatch opens, everyone but Eva are overwhelmed with a nauseating stench, almost indescribable by how overpowering it is. Rosalind, roll 1d10 for puke.
  46. [2011-12-26 19:58:16] <Tara_Unknown> 1d10
  47. [2011-12-26 19:58:17] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: 3 (1d10=3)
  48. [2011-12-26 19:58:21] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan cocks his rifle. Safety is on. For now.
  49. [2011-12-26 19:58:31] <Soulless> Rosalind doesn't vomit, but she can feel the bile rising.
  50. [2011-12-26 19:58:38] <Tara_Unknown> "Ugh"
  51. [2011-12-26 19:58:44] <Sequence> Eva just hums something.
  52. [2011-12-26 19:58:54] <ShockwaveLover> "Fuck me rigid..."
  53. [2011-12-26 19:59:03] <Sequence> "What's the matter?"
  54. [2011-12-26 19:59:10] <Pryor> "No thanks, though i'm flattered"
  55. [2011-12-26 19:59:15] <Pemander> Marcus attempts to steady Rosalind.
  56. [2011-12-26 19:59:23] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan looks Eva in disbelief. "You can't smell that, Doc?"
  57. [2011-12-26 19:59:25] <Tara_Unknown> "Something really stinks out there"
  58. [2011-12-26 19:59:45] <Sequence> "What, that? Nah, it's not that bad."
  59. [2011-12-26 19:59:52] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind covers her face with her arm ant attempts to breathe through her sleeve
  60. [2011-12-26 19:59:59] <Pryor> Joseph lets out a chuckle "alright then"
  61. [2011-12-26 20:00:00] <Soulless> Some muddy, smelly, filthy, disgusting goop drips into the sub through the open hatch.
  62. [2011-12-26 20:00:02] <Pemander> Marcus pinches his nose and chuckles. "What was that you said about securing the landing zone, Duncan?"
  63. [2011-12-26 20:00:05] <Sequence> Eva takes a deep breath.
  64. [2011-12-26 20:00:05] <ShockwaveLover> He takes up position by the hatch, peering out.
  65. [2011-12-26 20:00:23] <ShockwaveLover> "It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it."
  66. [2011-12-26 20:00:32] <Soulless> Duncan, Perception again.
  67. [2011-12-26 20:00:37] <Pemander> Marcus nods in agreement.
  68. [2011-12-26 20:00:39] <ShockwaveLover> 6df+5
  69. [2011-12-26 20:00:40] <Glacon> ShockwaveLover: 3 (6df+5=4-, 3+, 4-, 4-, 0, 0)
  70. [2011-12-26 20:01:06] <Soulless> Duncan can see they've 'surfaced' in what looks like to be freshly rained upon pile of dung.
  71. [2011-12-26 20:01:33] <ShockwaveLover> "Brilliant. I guess we're really in the shit..."
  72. [2011-12-26 20:01:38] <Pryor> "oi, let me 'ave a look"
  73. [2011-12-26 20:01:42] <ShockwaveLover> How far is the drop from the hatch?
  74. [2011-12-26 20:01:44] <Pemander> "Oh, god, here come the shit puns."
  75. [2011-12-26 20:01:47] <Pryor> Joseph pops his head out
  76. [2011-12-26 20:01:50] <Pryor> 6df+5
  77. [2011-12-26 20:01:51] <Glacon> Pryor: 6 (6df+5=0, 3+, 4-, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  78. [2011-12-26 20:02:01] <Soulless> Joseph gets a PM!
  79. [2011-12-26 20:03:38] <Soulless> Continue as normal.
  80. [2011-12-26 20:03:51] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes to get a basic respirator from storage
  81. [2011-12-26 20:04:03] <Pemander> "Well, now or never."
  82. [2011-12-26 20:04:08] <Pemander> Marcus attempts to clamber out of the sub.
  83. [2011-12-26 20:04:15] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan follows close behind.
  84. [2011-12-26 20:04:16] <Pryor> "what's that, dunc ,can you hear it?"
  85. [2011-12-26 20:04:30] <Pryor> "wait, don't go just yet
  86. [2011-12-26 20:04:31] <Pryor> "
  87. [2011-12-26 20:04:43] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan pauses, halfway out the hatch.
  88. [2011-12-26 20:04:57] <ShockwaveLover> "Say again?"
  89. [2011-12-26 20:05:04] <Pryor> "I can hear something, I can't tell what it is, but it sounds... sad"
  90. [2011-12-26 20:05:07] <Sequence> Eva just looks around.
  91. [2011-12-26 20:05:11] <ShockwaveLover> His rifle tracks back and forth, covering Marcus.
  92. [2011-12-26 20:05:23] <ShockwaveLover> "Direction?"
  93. [2011-12-26 20:05:49] <Pryor> "can't be clear, sorry to say, but we're not alone, i don't think"
  94. [2011-12-26 20:06:15] |<-- ShadesOKindel has left irc.synirc.net (Quit: -a- Android IRC 1.8.21)
  95. [2011-12-26 20:06:16] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind stays with the group, wearing a respirator and gloves
  96. [2011-12-26 20:06:22] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan nods, and continues out the hatch.
  97. [2011-12-26 20:06:41] <Soulless> Outside the sub is a small village, more like huts made of mud and straw.
  98. [2011-12-26 20:07:06] <Pryor> "aye, I'm coming with" Joseph clambers out and follows duncan
  99. [2011-12-26 20:07:08] <Soulless> Around the village are fields, like wild meadows, full of all sorts of flowering plants. The hot weather only makes the smell of crap worse.
  100. [2011-12-26 20:07:52] <Sequence> Eva sneezes.
  101. [2011-12-26 20:07:59] <ShockwaveLover> "Someone lives here?"
  102. [2011-12-26 20:08:03] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind follows Joseph. She hopes the respirator will cut down the smell somewhat
  103. [2011-12-26 20:08:20] <Soulless> Away from the meadows, on the other side of the village, are fields and fields of farmland with various crops, some unused plots of land as well.
  104. [2011-12-26 20:09:03] <Pryor> "strange, though i've seen stranger, lets head for one of the huts"
  105. [2011-12-26 20:09:29] <Soulless> The village has people in it, yes. Dressed in burlap and bags with holes cut in them. All of them look dirty and worn out, tired. They've stopped to look at the newcomers.
  106. [2011-12-26 20:09:35] <ShockwaveLover> "Security first, or are we taking the diplomatic route?"
  107. [2011-12-26 20:09:50] <Pemander> "Let's go for diplomacy."
  108. [2011-12-26 20:09:57] <Pemander> Marcus walks up to the villagers and waves. "Hey, how you all doing?"
  109. [2011-12-26 20:09:58] <Tara_Unknown> "Oh, I'm going to get in trouble, aren't I"
  110. [2011-12-26 20:10:08] <ShockwaveLover> "Roger that." He steps back behind the group.
  111. [2011-12-26 20:10:37] <Pryor> "this won't end well,"
  112. [2011-12-26 20:10:37] <Soulless> A few people whisper to each other and run for a man who comes out of a hut, looking just barely more dignified than the other villagers.
  113. [2011-12-26 20:11:14] <Soulless> "H-hello? A-are you the demon hunters?"
  114. [2011-12-26 20:11:34] <Pemander> Marcus shakes his head. "Demon hunters? I'm not sure."
  115. [2011-12-26 20:11:42] <Tara_Unknown> "Probably"
  116. [2011-12-26 20:11:43] <Pemander> He turns to the rest of the group. "Psst, are we the demon hunters?"
  117. [2011-12-26 20:11:55] <Pemander> "Probably!" He declares.
  118. [2011-12-26 20:11:57] -->| Scantron (Mibbit@synIRC-48EABF2F.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #redpool
  119. [2011-12-26 20:12:16] <Soulless> "Probably?" The man looks confused, as if expecting a yes or a no.
  120. [2011-12-26 20:12:20] <Pryor> "well," joseph steps forward
  121. [2011-12-26 20:12:34] <Pryor> "I used to be a demon hunter, but now we just capture them, unless we need to"
  122. [2011-12-26 20:12:42] <Pryor> "need to kill them, that is"
  123. [2011-12-26 20:12:54] <Scantron> Spencer was there the whole time!
  124. [2011-12-26 20:13:04] <Pemander> Marcus facepalms.
  125. [2011-12-26 20:13:18] <Soulless> "C-c-capture? Oh no, sir. This demon is too evil to be captured!"
  126. [2011-12-26 20:13:20] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's really considering shooting everyone and blaming the pool.
  127. [2011-12-26 20:13:27] <Sequence> Eva raises an eyebroww.
  128. [2011-12-26 20:13:49] <Sequence> And edges away from Spencer.
  129. [2011-12-26 20:13:54] <Soulless> "So many have tried. Why, Young Mrs. Lovelocke just lost her husband to the demon not too long ago, leaving two young sons with no father!"
  130. [2011-12-26 20:14:08] <Scantron> Spencer wasn't near her to begin with.
  131. [2011-12-26 20:14:15] <Soulless> "Poor girl, she'll... she'll probably starve now." He looks so sad.
  132. [2011-12-26 20:14:32] <Sequence> "Oh no. And no one can help her?"
  133. [2011-12-26 20:14:33] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind stays near Eva
  134. [2011-12-26 20:14:45] <Soulless> "No no, hard times because of that demon."
  135. [2011-12-26 20:14:48] |<-- Salmander has left irc.synirc.net (Quit: How can a robot think with his elbows in the sink?)
  136. [2011-12-26 20:14:48] <Pryor> "where is this demon? we'll get rid of it for you"
  137. [2011-12-26 20:14:53] <Soulless> "We make do with what we have."
  138. [2011-12-26 20:15:07] <Scantron> Spencer hasn't said a word this whole time. He seems deep in thought.
  139. [2011-12-26 20:15:10] <Soulless> "Oh? So are you the ones who've come to kill the demon? Finally! We've sent a letter to the king years ago!"
  140. [2011-12-26 20:15:24] <Soulless> "Good to know he still listens, eh?" He's all smiles, but his eyes are desperate, pleading.
  141. [2011-12-26 20:15:32] <ShockwaveLover> "Hang on. Describe this 'demon'."
  142. [2011-12-26 20:15:48] <Pryor> "aye, tell us all about it, and where he is, it's what we're here for"
  143. [2011-12-26 20:16:19] <Soulless> "Well now, this demon is a horrific creature. C'mon, follow me, better if I show you rather than tell you."
  144. [2011-12-26 20:16:21] <ShockwaveLover> The look Duncan's giving Joseph would melt the titanium off the bulkheads of the submarine.
  145. [2011-12-26 20:16:33] <Pemander> Marcus follows the shitty Elder.
  146. [2011-12-26 20:16:54] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind follows; if it's alive, she can figure something about it out
  147. [2011-12-26 20:16:55] <Sequence> Eva follows the Elder.
  148. [2011-12-26 20:17:08] <Scantron> Spencer follows, near the middle of the group. He's not even trying to avoid anyone.
  149. [2011-12-26 20:17:23] <Sequence> Eva is sticking between Rosalind and Spencer.
  150. [2011-12-26 20:17:25] <Wombat> Katrin was there. She's grinning like a maniac.
  151. [2011-12-26 20:17:34] <Pryor> Joseph follows
  152. [2011-12-26 20:17:53] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's taken point.
  153. [2011-12-26 20:18:05] <Wombat> Katrin is level with Duncan.
  154. [2011-12-26 20:18:15] <Pemander> Marcus is right behind Katrin.

  158. [2011-12-26 20:18:41] <Sequence> "What are the flowers for?"

  163. [2011-12-26 20:19:31] <ShockwaveLover> "Where the hell did it all come from? Is there a giant cow up there somewhere?" He peers at the sky.
  164. [2011-12-26 20:19:31] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind looks to see if it's just the flower or if it's a flowering plant
  165. [2011-12-26 20:19:48] <Soulless> "We keep the flowers in front of our homes to distract this vile beast of death. It kills the flowers and not us."

  179. [2011-12-26 20:21:15] <Wombat> "What do the bodies look like afterwards?"
  180. [2011-12-26 20:21:39] <Soulless> "...Well, ma'am, I... I..."
  181. [2011-12-26 20:21:48] <Soulless> He looks so sad. "They look like a lot of things."
  182. [2011-12-26 20:22:05] <Wombat> "What, like bear maulings or something?"
  183. [2011-12-26 20:22:09] <Sequence> Eva pats him on the shoulder.
  184. [2011-12-26 20:22:16] <Sequence> She doesn't even care about the smell of shit.
  185. [2011-12-26 20:22:29] <Pemander> Marcus pulls out his pack of cigarettes and offers one to the elder. "Want a smoke?"
  186. [2011-12-26 20:22:37] <Soulless> Rosalind and Spencer notice that they're just flowers from the wild meadows around, pulled off the stem and shoved into a flower pot.
  187. [2011-12-26 20:22:53] <Soulless> "A smoke? No, no, smoke won't do well. "
  188. [2011-12-26 20:23:00] <Scantron> "The flowers are nothing special..." Spencer mutters.
  189. [2011-12-26 20:23:02] <Soulless> "I don't want to speak of the dead... bad luck, you know?"
  190. [2011-12-26 20:23:10] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods; no wonder they're wilting
  191. [2011-12-26 20:23:17] <Wombat> Katrin shrugs. "When does the demon usually strike?"
  192. [2011-12-26 20:23:26] <Pemander> Marcus shrugs. "Suit yourself." He pockets the pack of cigs.
  193. [2011-12-26 20:23:52] <Soulless> Rosalind can note all the flowers aren't 'wilting'. They're dead. Completely dead.
  194. [2011-12-26 20:24:10] <Soulless> "At night! Of course, all demons strike at night."
  195. [2011-12-26 20:24:21] <Pemander> Marcus nods. "Of course."
  196. [2011-12-26 20:24:26] <ShockwaveLover> "And me without my NVGs..."
  197. [2011-12-26 20:24:29] <Soulless> "It's the time for 'em, night is." He nods with Marcus.
  198. [2011-12-26 20:24:54] <Scantron> "Where is this demon, right now?"
  199. [2011-12-26 20:25:05] <Wombat> "Well, I think we know how to get them. Are there any empty huts?"
  200. [2011-12-26 20:25:09] <Pemander> "I hate to ask this, but could we borrow one of the warding flowers from you? It might be helpful in the fight against the demon."
  201. [2011-12-26 20:25:15] <Soulless> "Probably in one of them fields of flowers, I reckon, sir. The demon likes them flowers."
  202. [2011-12-26 20:25:25] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind whispers to Eva, "The flowers are already dead. They just put the flowering part in. No leaves, no roots, and it's not even the right way to do a cutting"
  203. [2011-12-26 20:25:36] <Soulless> "I bet it likes killing those small furry creatures."
  204. [2011-12-26 20:25:43] <Sequence> Eva frowns. "That's awfully strange."
  205. [2011-12-26 20:25:48] <Sequence> She whispers to Rosalind.
  206. [2011-12-26 20:26:21] <Wombat> "If there's an empty hut, we can lay a trap."
  207. [2011-12-26 20:26:55] <ShockwaveLover> "Draw it onto the pile of shit, light a match, whoosh - up it goes.
  208. [2011-12-26 20:26:57] <ShockwaveLover> "
  209. [2011-12-26 20:27:18] <Soulless> "It sure likes killing. Why, once it caught Sam's son playing in one of them fields. His body was left by the village a few days later. It... Mrs. Pattingson stopped eating when she saw the body... Terrible, just terrible." He shakes his head.
  210. [2011-12-26 20:27:18] <Pemander> Marcus frowns. "Both of those strategies endanger the villagers, though. We should avoid casualties if possible.":
  211. [2011-12-26 20:27:37] <Pemander> "The ambush thing might work, but we need to make sure no one is around."
  212. [2011-12-26 20:27:38] <Soulless> "No no, we have no open huts, you see. We build our own."
  213. [2011-12-26 20:27:48] <Pryor> "then let's set up an ambush in he flower patch"
  214. [2011-12-26 20:27:51] <Pryor> *the
  215. [2011-12-26 20:28:14] <ShockwaveLover> "How about we get some intel before we go planning anything."
  216. [2011-12-26 20:28:22] <ShockwaveLover> He turns to the chief.
  217. [2011-12-26 20:28:23] <Pemander> Marcus nods to Duncan.
  218. [2011-12-26 20:28:27] <Soulless> "Sure you can get a flower from us. Errr, Junior! Hey! Could you get these kind sirs and ma'ams some flowers?" He yells at a boy. The boy runs to snip a few flowers and bring them back.
  219. [2011-12-26 20:28:27] <Scantron> "Agreed. Let's see this demon."
  220. [2011-12-26 20:28:31] <Wombat> "What we need to do is find out its habits. The more we know, the better."
  221. [2011-12-26 20:28:31] <ShockwaveLover> "Describe the demon for us."
  222. [2011-12-26 20:28:44] <Pemander> Marcus takes the flowers from the boy. "Thanks, kiddo."
  223. [2011-12-26 20:28:48] <Soulless> "We don't know what it looks like, sorry to say. Never seen it before!"
  224. [2011-12-26 20:29:00] <Soulless> The boy looks up to Marcus. "...Mommy never got up."
  225. [2011-12-26 20:29:16] <Soulless> "Mommy saw it and never got up again. She's still sleeping in the ground."
  226. [2011-12-26 20:29:29] <ShockwaveLover> "Sounds, smells., tracks..?"
  227. [2011-12-26 20:29:30] <Pemander> Marcus puts a hand in the boy's hair. "We're gonna kill this thing, so no one else has to go to sleep anymore."
  228. [2011-12-26 20:29:34] <Wombat> "Okay, don't look at it. Good to know."
  229. [2011-12-26 20:29:46] <Soulless> The 'leader' shoos the boys away. "Sorry, sir. Junior never got over his mother's... err... passing."
  230. [2011-12-26 20:30:03] <Pemander> "S'ok. The more information we have, the better."
  231. [2011-12-26 20:31:12] <Soulless> "To be honest, we don't know anything about the demon. We only know that it's going to kill us all soon, I reckon." He looks sad. "Not much of it left, since it came."
  232. [2011-12-26 20:31:17] <Wombat> "Also, do you have a priest around?"
  233. [2011-12-26 20:31:38] <Soulless> "Priest? No, no. He was one of the first ta go. Poor Father..."
  234. [2011-12-26 20:31:58] <Wombat> "Damn. Would have been nice to have some holy bullets.
  235. [2011-12-26 20:32:22] <Pemander> Marcus has been fiddling with the flowers and his rope for the past few minutes.
  236. [2011-12-26 20:32:26] <Tara_Unknown> "That's interesting"
  237. [2011-12-26 20:32:35] <Scantron> Spencer is rather quiet. What does the landscape that they're passing by look like?
  238. [2011-12-26 20:32:43] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan pauses. "So, let me get this straight. What you're saying is that no-one, aside from those that have been killed, has seen this thin?"
  239. [2011-12-26 20:32:43] <Pemander> He finally holds up a number of flowers strung up on necklaces.
  240. [2011-12-26 20:32:56] <Pemander> Marcus dons one of the necklaces, and passes out the rest.
  241. [2011-12-26 20:32:56] <ShockwaveLover> *thing
  242. [2011-12-26 20:33:02] <Pemander> "Doesn't hurt to be careful."
  243. [2011-12-26 20:33:14] <Soulless> There is a section for graves, there's a lot of graves. There's places for animals to graze and people to farm, with a noticeable chunk of wild meadows left on their own.
  244. [2011-12-26 20:33:16] <Scantron> Spencer accepts a flower with a muttered "Thank you."
  245. [2011-12-26 20:33:48] <Scantron> What are they farming, exactly? Or is that not obvious?
  246. [2011-12-26 20:33:58] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind thanks Marcus and puts on the necklace
  247. [2011-12-26 20:34:13] <Soulless> Not too obvious from first glance, other than some wheat and what looks to be corn.
  248. [2011-12-26 20:34:28] <Soulless> Just a poor village.
  249. [2011-12-26 20:34:41] <Sequence> Eva takes the necklace and puts it on, stroking the petals.
  250. [2011-12-26 20:34:47] <Tara_Unknown> What animals do they have?
  251. [2011-12-26 20:34:57] <Wombat> Katrin takes a flower and tucks it in a pocket.
  252. [2011-12-26 20:35:34] <Pemander> Marcus smiles at Katrin. "Yeah, didn't peg you for the superstitious type."
  253. [2011-12-26 20:35:39] <Soulless> Pigs, chickens, grazing animals like sheep aren't present, probably left to graze somewhere else.
  254. [2011-12-26 20:36:15] <Scantron> Spencer realizes his gun isn't loaded and puts in some bullets.
  255. [2011-12-26 20:36:19] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan is looking at the chief, awaiting an answer.
  256. [2011-12-26 20:36:24] <Soulless> "What's that you got there, sir?"
  257. [2011-12-26 20:36:32] <Tara_Unknown> "Is any of your livestock ever killed by the demon?"
  258. [2011-12-26 20:36:51] <Wombat> "Can't hurt."
  259. [2011-12-26 20:36:52] <Pemander> Marcus stops Spencer before he speaks. "It's, uh, a demon-killing weapon."
  260. [2011-12-26 20:37:05] <Pemander> "Specially made."
  261. [2011-12-26 20:37:09] <Scantron> Spencer nods at this.
  262. [2011-12-26 20:37:19] <Wombat> Katrin unholsters her revolver, and checks the load. Six in the green.
  263. [2011-12-26 20:37:21] <Soulless> "Oh yes, sometimes. My ol' Bessie got spooked by a storm."
  264. [2011-12-26 20:37:36] <Soulless> "She ran out and came back mangled and bloody. Poor old girl."
  265. [2011-12-26 20:37:49] <Pryor> "I just realized, ladies and gents, that i don't have my 'demon killer'"
  266. [2011-12-26 20:38:07] <Scantron> "Are you armed at all?"
  267. [2011-12-26 20:38:16] <Soulless> "A demon killing weapon! Oh! The King must've brought us some real special hunters!"
  268. [2011-12-26 20:38:23] <Soulless> He laughs, but his eyes are still so desperate.
  269. [2011-12-26 20:38:26] <Pryor> "I've no skill with either, I'm here for research"
  270. [2011-12-26 20:38:39] <Pemander> Marcus pulls out his Glock and hands it to Joseph. "You don't need skill. Aim and pull the trigger."
  271. [2011-12-26 20:38:41] <Pryor> "oh yes, we've all handled quite a few, in our days"
  272. [2011-12-26 20:38:42] <Soulless> "Research?"
  273. [2011-12-26 20:38:45] <Wombat> "Only the best."
  274. [2011-12-26 20:38:49] <Soulless> The man looks confused.
  275. [2011-12-26 20:38:58] <Sequence> "We examine the demons, to find better ways of killing them."
  276. [2011-12-26 20:39:00] <Pemander> "There are, uh, demons all across the land."
  277. [2011-12-26 20:39:04] <Pemander> Marcus nods to Eva.
  278. [2011-12-26 20:39:04] <Pryor> "yes, I'm a sort of scribe, if you will"
  279. [2011-12-26 20:39:13] <Soulless> "I see! A scribe! Well, well!"
  280. [2011-12-26 20:39:32] <Scantron> "How much longer until we reach what you intended to show us?"
  281. [2011-12-26 20:40:00] <Pryor> Joseph takes the Glock, gives a quick thanks, and returns to the conversation
  282. [2011-12-26 20:40:02] <Tara_Unknown> "I'm an expert at understanding the way demons are put together and how they move. I figure out the best way to kill one and then I let the ones with the weapons know"
  283. [2011-12-26 20:40:09] <Soulless> "Ah, I just wanted to show you around our little village, easier to show what's the demon's done rather than speak about it."
  284. [2011-12-26 20:40:17] <Scantron> "Oh..."
  285. [2011-12-26 20:40:39] <Wombat> "Let's see it."
  286. [2011-12-26 20:40:56] <ShockwaveLover> "I repeat - are you telling us that no-one, aside from those that have been killed, has seen the demon?"
  287. [2011-12-26 20:40:58] <Soulless> Yes, the village is in bad shape. People are thin and dirty, some houses (the inhabitants killed) have deteriorated and caved in.
  288. [2011-12-26 20:41:14] <Soulless> "Yes, we don't know what it looks like, no. This is a crafty, horrible monster!"
  289. [2011-12-26 20:41:30] <Soulless> Katrin can see for herself the sorry state of this place.
  290. [2011-12-26 20:41:35] <ShockwaveLover> "So how do you know it's a demon, as opposed to garden variety murder?"
  291. [2011-12-26 20:41:40] <Pemander> Marcus puts down his shades. "It's about to be a dead monster."
  292. [2011-12-26 20:41:51] <Soulless> "What's that you have there on your eyes, sir?"
  293. [2011-12-26 20:41:56] <Soulless> "Never seen anythin' like it."
  294. [2011-12-26 20:42:22] <Pemander> Marcus takes the shades off and shows them to the elder. "Makes it so you don't have to look at demons directly. You know, it's dangerous to look at something so evil unprotected."
  295. [2011-12-26 20:42:45] <Wombat> "You know, that's a damn good idea."
  296. [2011-12-26 20:43:02] <Soulless> "That's a fine idea, sir!"

  298. [2011-12-26 20:43:03] <Pemander> Marcus smiles at Katrin. "I'm chock full of 'em."
  299. [2011-12-26 20:43:12] <Pemander> He takes the sunglasses back and dons them.
  300. [2011-12-26 20:43:28] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan taps his tinted combat goggles.
  301. [2011-12-26 20:43:34] <Soulless> "Anyhow, the demon's probably out in the meadows somewhere. It likes them this kind of year."
  302. [2011-12-26 20:43:58] <Soulless> "Would you like anything first before you go? We don't have much..."
  303. [2011-12-26 20:44:08] <Tara_Unknown> How healthy do the animals look in comparison to the villagers?
  304. [2011-12-26 20:44:26] <Soulless> Just as bad, Rosalind, just as bad.
  305. [2011-12-26 20:44:28] <Wombat> Katrin withdraws her IR Scope from one pocket, and adjusts the optics to remove the zoom before clipping it to the brim of her hat over her right eye.
  306. [2011-12-26 20:44:38] <Pemander> "Uh, I hate to ask this, but do you have any...significant objects in your village? Holy relics, anything like that?"
  307. [2011-12-26 20:45:12] <Pemander> "Anything with holy power could help us against the demon!"
  308. [2011-12-26 20:45:35] <ShockwaveLover> "Some air freshener would be nice too."
  309. [2011-12-26 20:45:44] <Sequence> Eva sits around and looks pretty.
  310. [2011-12-26 20:45:46] <Pemander> Marcus stifles a chuckle.
  311. [2011-12-26 20:45:48] <Scantron> "Also, any strange objects. Ones you don't quite understand, even if they aren't necessarily holy."
  312. [2011-12-26 20:45:58] <Soulless> "Oh, no, nothing like that. Although, now that I think about it, when the demon first showed up, the late Mrs. Smith's daughter, young Lisa, said she saw something in the meadows and ran off after it. Said it was shiny."
  313. [2011-12-26 20:46:15] <Pemander> Marcus nods. "That'll do. Thanks for everything, sir."
  314. [2011-12-26 20:46:23] <Pemander> He pats the man on the shoulder.
  315. [2011-12-26 20:46:31] <ShockwaveLover> "You might want to get insidde. This could get ugly."
  316. [2011-12-26 20:46:34] <Scantron> Spencer blinks, surprised for a moment, then shrugs.
  317. [2011-12-26 20:46:35] <Pryor> "shiny?"
  318. [2011-12-26 20:46:38] <Soulless> "Maybe was the demon's teeth or claws! The terrible thing..." He looks to Marcus and the group. "...Please, good luck."
  319. [2011-12-26 20:46:43] <Soulless> "...Please save us."
  320. [2011-12-26 20:46:46] <Pryor> Joseph turns to duncan "you don't think, maybe.."
  321. [2011-12-26 20:47:06] <Wombat> "You can trust us. We're big damn heroes."
  322. [2011-12-26 20:47:10] <Pemander> Marcus bares his teeth. ~Oh baby, time to shoot some holes in some motherfucking demons.~
  323. [2011-12-26 20:47:25] <ShockwaveLover> "I don't see how." he replies. "Besides, there's more than just one shiny thing."
  324. [2011-12-26 20:47:55] <ShockwaveLover> "Our orders are retrieval, remember."
  325. [2011-12-26 20:48:12] <Tara_Unknown> "Let's head to the meadow and discuss strategy, everyone"
  326. [2011-12-26 20:48:30] <Soulless> "Retrieval? You plan to retrieve such a beast? Whatever for?"
  327. [2011-12-26 20:48:45] <ShockwaveLover> "That's what we've been sent here for."
  328. [2011-12-26 20:48:47] <Wombat> "So we can kill it."
  329. [2011-12-26 20:48:59] <Scantron> "Its carcass, at the very least."
  330. [2011-12-26 20:49:01] <Soulless> "Okay. Good luck, all."
  331. [2011-12-26 20:49:03] <Pemander> Marcus shakes his head at the elder. "The beast, we kill. But demons often have powerful artifacts with them, that can resurrect them if they aren't destroyed."
  332. [2011-12-26 20:49:10] <Soulless> He pats them all.
  333. [2011-12-26 20:49:15] <Soulless> "Good luck..."
  334. [2011-12-26 20:49:22] <Pryor> "who knows what it could attract if we just left it to rot"
  335. [2011-12-26 20:49:25] <Pemander> Marcus thumbs his nose.
  336. [2011-12-26 20:49:29] <Pemander> "Time for some action."
  337. [2011-12-26 20:49:37] <Scantron> Spencer nods.
  338. [2011-12-26 20:49:43] <Pemander> He bares his teeth once more. His face seems a bit more animalistic than usual.
  339. [2011-12-26 20:50:06] <Soulless> The man wanders off, telling everyone to hide in their homes in case of the demon. People hurriedly put the pots of flowers before them and run inside.
  340. [2011-12-26 20:50:10] <Wombat> Katrin has that grin.
  341. [2011-12-26 20:50:14] <Soulless> It's just them alone now.
  342. [2011-12-26 20:50:22] <Wombat> It's not quite the insane one.
  343. [2011-12-26 20:50:58] <ShockwaveLover> "We're going on a bear hunt...we're going to catch a big one..."
  344. [2011-12-26 20:51:05] <Sequence> Eva derps around in the background.
  345. [2011-12-26 20:51:09] <Tara_Unknown> "So, what are the chances that this is actually some kind of animal?"
  346. [2011-12-26 20:51:10] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan sings quietly to himself.
  347. [2011-12-26 20:51:46] <Scantron> "My guess is, low. This doesn't sound like any sort of animal to me." He pauses. "Maybe we should be prepared to make a large fire, just in case."
  348. [2011-12-26 20:52:09] <Tara_Unknown> "Because I'm wondering if a bunch of unrelated incidents during a famine are being blamed on a 'demon'"
  349. [2011-12-26 20:52:09] <Pemander> Marcus heads onward toward the meadow. "C'mon. I'm in the mood for some roast demon."
  350. [2011-12-26 20:52:21] <ShockwaveLover> "That pile of dung'll go up a treat with some encouragement."
  351. [2011-12-26 20:52:47] <Scantron> "True, but a somewhat more controlled fire would be preferable."
  352. [2011-12-26 20:53:23] <Wombat> "What would be brutally murdering people?"
  353. [2011-12-26 20:53:27] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan takes the rear. "Yeah, but I doubt we'd get one set up in time."
  354. [2011-12-26 20:53:38] <Pryor> joseph follows
  355. [2011-12-26 20:53:43] <Pemander> How long does it take them to get to the meadow?
  356. [2011-12-26 20:54:17] <Soulless> Not long, it' right there. The grass is high.
  357. [2011-12-26 20:54:28] <Scantron> How high?
  358. [2011-12-26 20:54:39] <Soulless> Knee to waist high. It's really high.
  359. [2011-12-26 20:54:45] <Pemander> Marcus crouches down next to the tall grass.
  360. [2011-12-26 20:54:48] <Wombat> Katrin pulls out her long knife with her left hand, and begins cutting a swath down.
  361. [2011-12-26 20:54:59] <Soulless> Everyone, Perception!
  362. [2011-12-26 20:54:59] <Pemander> He puts a hand on Katrin's shoulder.

  376. [2011-12-26 20:55:47] <Glacon> Sequence: HERPDERP: 3 (6df+4=0, 3+, 4-, 3+, 4-, 4-)
  377. [2011-12-26 20:56:21] <Soulless> Katrin, Rosalind, and Duncan can hear a subtle... off noise, almost described as a scream. No knowledge of the direction, but they know it was just when Katrin began cutting down the meadow.
  378. [2011-12-26 20:56:32] <Scantron> Spencer is lost in thought.
  379. [2011-12-26 20:56:45] <Sequence> Eva is staring at the sky feeling useless.
  380. [2011-12-26 20:56:49] <Pemander> As stated earlier, Marcus puts a hand on Katrin's shoulder.
  381. [2011-12-26 20:56:54] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan drops to one knee. "Everyone, behind me and Katrin!"
  382. [2011-12-26 20:57:01] <Pemander> "That's a good idea if you want this thing to spot us before we spot it."
  383. [2011-12-26 20:57:02] <Tara_Unknown> "Shhh..." Rosalind is listening
  384. [2011-12-26 20:57:04] <ShockwaveLover> Safety is off.
  385. [2011-12-26 20:57:05] <Pemander> Marcus is already crouching.
  386. [2011-12-26 20:57:08] <Pryor> Joseph quickly ducks down
  387. [2011-12-26 20:57:15] <Scantron> Spencer is already behind them. He whispers "what?" as he crouches.
  388. [2011-12-26 20:57:23] <ShockwaveLover> "Shh."
  389. [2011-12-26 20:57:28] <Pemander> He looks to Duncan. "What'd you hear?"
  390. [2011-12-26 20:57:45] <Wombat> "It doesn't like the grass going down."
  391. [2011-12-26 20:57:46] <ShockwaveLover> He motions them to silence, straining his ears.
  392. [2011-12-26 20:57:59] <Wombat> "Anyone have a lighter?"
  393. [2011-12-26 20:58:16] <Pemander> Marcus absentmindedly fingers the flower necklace.
  394. [2011-12-26 20:58:40] <ShockwaveLover> "I've got matches in my survival kit. But I think we should try a few things first."
  395. [2011-12-26 20:58:48] <Scantron> Spencer frowns a bit... he reaches over to a blade of grass and picks it.
  396. [2011-12-26 20:58:52] <Soulless> It's gone now. The sad sound Joseph heard earlier can now be heard by everyone but Spencer. It's almost like a rustle of grass, almost like a child's hum, so quiet and almost unnoticeable, and so, so sad.
  397. [2011-12-26 20:58:59] <ShockwaveLover> He looks around for a rock.
  398. [2011-12-26 20:59:02] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind is listening...
  399. [2011-12-26 20:59:13] <ShockwaveLover> Does he find one?
  400. [2011-12-26 20:59:23] <Sequence> Eva listens with her deaf ears.
  401. [2011-12-26 20:59:49] <Soulless> There are little rocks everywhere, yes.
  402. [2011-12-26 21:00:15] <ShockwaveLover> He picks one up, a lobs it in an arc towards the meadow.
  403. [2011-12-26 21:01:08] <Wombat> "I should start carrying flares..."
  404. [2011-12-26 21:01:24] <Soulless> No reaction.
  405. [2011-12-26 21:01:47] <Sequence> Eva pets some grass.
  406. [2011-12-26 21:01:51] <Scantron> "...what are we listening for?"
  407. [2011-12-26 21:01:53] <Soulless> There are butterflies and bees busying about.
  408. [2011-12-26 21:01:54] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind holds a hand up
  409. [2011-12-26 21:01:58] <Soulless> Nothing, no reaction.
  410. [2011-12-26 21:02:02] <Soulless> Rosalind, perception again.
  411. [2011-12-26 21:02:15] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+7 observing
  412. [2011-12-26 21:02:16] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: observing: 8 (6df+7=0, 4-, 3+, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  413. [2011-12-26 21:02:22] <ShockwaveLover> "Okay, who wants to be first in?"
  414. [2011-12-26 21:02:38] <Soulless> Rosalind can hear, in that soft, swishing, humming, distant sound... an almost unmistakable sob.
  415. [2011-12-26 21:02:39] <Sequence> "I'll do it."
  416. [2011-12-26 21:02:52] <Soulless> And then it's back to the hum and rustle.
  417. [2011-12-26 21:02:53] <Scantron> "No, I will."
  418. [2011-12-26 21:02:54] <Pemander> "Sorry sweetie, but I'm not letting you go in first."
  419. [2011-12-26 21:02:57] <Tara_Unknown> "Whatever it is, it's sad"
  420. [2011-12-26 21:03:00] <ShockwaveLover> "You sure Doc?"
  421. [2011-12-26 21:03:17] <Pemander> Marcus motions to Duncan. "Search formation. 3-foot spread between everyone. Cover all the angles."
  422. [2011-12-26 21:03:23] <Pemander> He takes point.
  423. [2011-12-26 21:03:29] <ShockwaveLover> He looks over at Rosie. "Sad? Yeah, now that you mention it...it did sound a bit sad."
  424. [2011-12-26 21:03:34] <Wombat> "I don't want to go into that grass."
  425. [2011-12-26 21:03:36] <Sequence> Eva rolls her eyes. "Shitting christ." She mutters.
  426. [2011-12-26 21:03:36] <Pemander> Divin' into the grass!
  427. [2011-12-26 21:03:41] <Tara_Unknown> "I think it's crying"
  428. [2011-12-26 21:03:41] <Wombat> "Haven't you ever seen Jurassic park?"
  429. [2011-12-26 21:03:56] <Scantron> Spencer moves a few feet to Marcus's left and moves through the grass.
  430. [2011-12-26 21:03:57] <ShockwaveLover> "Right." He steps into the grass.
  431. [2011-12-26 21:04:11] <Wombat> Katrin cuts a path in front of her through the grass.
  432. [2011-12-26 21:04:13] <Soulless> Perception, everyone!
  433. [2011-12-26 21:04:18] <Sequence> Eva stomps into the grass.
  434. [2011-12-26 21:04:19] <ShockwaveLover> "Be gentle. We don't know that this thing's actually hostile."

  449. [2011-12-26 21:05:06] <Soulless> Katrin can hear a small scream with every slice. Joseph too. Every. Slice.
  450. [2011-12-26 21:05:20] <Soulless> A small, broken, rustling-scream.
  451. [2011-12-26 21:05:36] <Wombat> "Huh..."
  452. [2011-12-26 21:05:43] <Scantron> "What?"
  453. [2011-12-26 21:05:44] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's too absorbed with scanning the rustling field.
  454. [2011-12-26 21:05:55] <Pryor> "the fucking scream! every time she cuts!"
  455. [2011-12-26 21:06:03] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind is too busy looking horrified at the cutting
  456. [2011-12-26 21:06:08] <Pemander> "Then don't cut the fucking grass, jesus!"
  457. [2011-12-26 21:06:15] <Pemander> Marcus continues looking ahead through the grass.
  458. [2011-12-26 21:06:16] <Sequence> "Katrin, stop what you're doing!"
  459. [2011-12-26 21:06:18] <ShockwaveLover> "Scream? I can't hear a..."
  460. [2011-12-26 21:06:25] <Scantron> "The..." Spencer pauses, and sighs. "The grass is the demon, isn't it..."
  461. [2011-12-26 21:06:29] <Pryor> "wasn't I cutting the fucking grass! quit cutting the fucking grass!"
  462. [2011-12-26 21:06:58] <Soulless> It's not just grass. It's a blossoming, healthy meadow.
  463. [2011-12-26 21:07:04] <Pryor> "It's not the fucking grass, there is no grass demon, it's coming from somewhere else"
  464. [2011-12-26 21:07:20] <Scantron> "Perhaps if we cut down more grass, we can lure it here."
  465. [2011-12-26 21:07:26] <Pemander> Marcus holds up a hand to indicate everyone should stop. Carefully, he peeks out over the tall grass to scan the area.
  466. [2011-12-26 21:07:40] <Tara_Unknown> "Whatever it is, it doesn't like the meadow being hurt"
  467. [2011-12-26 21:07:41] <Soulless> Marcus perception.

  470. [2011-12-26 21:07:53] <Wombat> "All the better for us to draw it out..."
  471. [2011-12-26 21:08:24] <Wombat> "Do you hear me, demon? You come out, or I keep cutting."
  472. [2011-12-26 21:08:25] <Soulless> Nope.
  473. [2011-12-26 21:08:33] <Soulless> There's no reaction from the meadow.
  474. [2011-12-26 21:08:34] <Tara_Unknown> "Wait. I want to try something" Rosalind heads over to the meadow
  475. [2011-12-26 21:08:39] <ShockwaveLover> "Yeah, but it could come at us from any angle, and we don't even know if can see the bloody thing."
  476. [2011-12-26 21:08:42] <Pryor> Joseph looks up as well
  477. [2011-12-26 21:08:44] <Pemander> Marcus stops to observe Rosalind.
  478. [2011-12-26 21:08:50] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan jogs after her.
  479. [2011-12-26 21:08:50] <Soulless> Joseph Perception
  480. [2011-12-26 21:08:55] <Sequence> Eva derps along~

  484. [2011-12-26 21:09:07] <Soulless> Nothing.
  485. [2011-12-26 21:09:07] <Scantron> Spencer peers up over the grass.
  486. [2011-12-26 21:09:11] <Soulless> Everyone looking aorund, perception.

  498. [2011-12-26 21:09:45] <ShockwaveLover> "I don't like this. It's too fucking quiet."
  499. [2011-12-26 21:09:57] <Soulless> Katrin can see there's a place where the grass grows higher, as if elevated.
  500. [2011-12-26 21:10:09] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes up to the meadow and carefully, quietly, starts to walk through it trying her best to not harm any of the grass
  501. [2011-12-26 21:10:27] <Soulless> Rosalind, perception.
  502. [2011-12-26 21:10:34] <Wombat> Katrin levels her revolver at the spot.
  503. [2011-12-26 21:10:35] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan follows, being careful to stay in her footsteps.
  504. [2011-12-26 21:10:40] <Wombat> "I think I've found it."
  505. [2011-12-26 21:10:41] <Pemander> "Watcha see, Kat?"

  508. [2011-12-26 21:10:56] <Pemander> Marcus looks to where her revolver is pointing.
  509. [2011-12-26 21:11:04] <Scantron> As does Spencer.
  510. [2011-12-26 21:11:15] <Soulless> There's a little, rustling sniffle, also coming from this far away mound, as if the earth itself was elevated in that area.
  511. [2011-12-26 21:11:15] <Sequence> Eva follows the crowd.
  512. [2011-12-26 21:11:27] <ShockwaveLover> "What have you got Doc?" he whispers to Rosalind.
  513. [2011-12-26 21:11:44] <Wombat> Katrin pulls the first stage trigger, setting the second on a hair trigger.
  514. [2011-12-26 21:11:59] <Tara_Unknown> "I'm trying to see if we can approach it quietly, and without upsetting it"
  515. [2011-12-26 21:12:00] <Pemander> Marcus waves his gun toward the raised mound. "Kat, you wanna stay here and lay down cover fire? I'm gonna go check it out."
  516. [2011-12-26 21:12:13] <Pemander> Marcus sneaks through the grass toward the raised area.
  517. [2011-12-26 21:12:18] <Scantron> "...it's a hill."
  518. [2011-12-26 21:12:20] <Wombat> "Marcus, wait"
  519. [2011-12-26 21:12:23] <Pryor> "I'll stay behind"
  520. [2011-12-26 21:12:34] <Wombat> "I'm better at close combat then you. I'll go."
  521. [2011-12-26 21:12:35] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind starts heading towards the mound, still being careful to do as little damage as possible
  522. [2011-12-26 21:12:47] <ShockwaveLover> "Approach /what/?"
  523. [2011-12-26 21:12:47] <Wombat> Katrin moves into the field.
  524. [2011-12-26 21:12:48] <Pemander> Marcus shrugs.
  525. [2011-12-26 21:12:56] <ShockwaveLover> He's stopped, letting her sneak.
  526. [2011-12-26 21:13:01] <Pemander> He stays behind and aims his MP5 at the raised space.
  527. [2011-12-26 21:13:11] <Scantron> "My thoughts exactly, Mr. Schwarz. It's just a hill."
  528. [2011-12-26 21:13:27] <Soulless> There's a little hole. Someome must've dug themselves a tunnel, it looks big enough for a person.
  529. [2011-12-26 21:13:43] <Wombat> "Marcus, toss me a grenade..."
  530. [2011-12-26 21:13:50] <Wombat> "Not armed, of course."
  531. [2011-12-26 21:13:52] <Tara_Unknown> "No"
  532. [2011-12-26 21:14:05] <ShockwaveLover> "Belay that last Katrin."
  533. [2011-12-26 21:14:10] <Tara_Unknown> "Anyone have a flashlight?"
  534. [2011-12-26 21:14:24] <ShockwaveLover> "I've got a tactical light on my Steyr."
  535. [2011-12-26 21:14:34] <ShockwaveLover> He passes the gun over.
  536. [2011-12-26 21:14:40] <Scantron> What are the lighting conditions outside like?
  537. [2011-12-26 21:14:50] <ShockwaveLover> "Switch on the right side."
  538. [2011-12-26 21:15:03] <Soulless> It's late afternoon, the sun is just beginning to set over the meadow.
  539. [2011-12-26 21:15:14] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind turns the light on and looks down the tunnel, finger nowhere near the gun's trigger
  540. [2011-12-26 21:15:17] <ShockwaveLover> He pulls out Charon's Left Hand. No way is staying unarmed.
  541. [2011-12-26 21:15:22] <ShockwaveLover> *he
  542. [2011-12-26 21:15:32] <Soulless> It's a hole. It seems to open up to a larger chamber.
  543. [2011-12-26 21:15:34] <Scantron> Spencer moves up to where Rosalind is.
  544. [2011-12-26 21:15:39] <Soulless> Perception everyone.
  545. [2011-12-26 21:15:44] <Wombat> 6df+9
  546. [2011-12-26 21:15:45] <Glacon> Wombat: 10 (6df+9=3+, 0, 0, 0, 3+, 4-)
  547. [2011-12-26 21:15:48] <Sequence> 6df+4 I AM STILL ALIVE~
  548. [2011-12-26 21:15:48] <Glacon> Sequence: I AM STILL ALIVE~: 5 (6df+4=3+, 0, 0, 3+, 4-, 0)
  549. [2011-12-26 21:15:53] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+7 looking down a hole
  550. [2011-12-26 21:15:53] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: looking down a hole: 9 (6df+7=4-, 3+, 3+, 3+, 4-, 3+)
  551. [2011-12-26 21:15:56] <Scantron> 6df+4 i don't see why i bother i mean katrin's just gonna get it
  552. [2011-12-26 21:15:57] <Glacon> Scantron: i don't see why i bother i mean katrin's just gonna get it: 5 (6df+4=3+, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-)
  553. [2011-12-26 21:16:13] <ShockwaveLover> 6df+5
  554. [2011-12-26 21:16:13] <Glacon> ShockwaveLover: 5 (6df+5=4-, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+, 3+)
  555. [2011-12-26 21:16:15] <Pemander> Marcus is still a bit behind, ready to offer supporting fire.
  556. [2011-12-26 21:16:53] <Soulless> Everyone can hear that oddly sad sound now.
  557. [2011-12-26 21:17:09] <ShockwaveLover> "So, who wants to stick their noggin in the hole?"
  558. [2011-12-26 21:17:13] <Soulless> It's a little child's humming, mixed with the soft rustle of the meadow.
  559. [2011-12-26 21:17:13] <Wombat> "I'm going in."
  560. [2011-12-26 21:17:17] <Tara_Unknown> "I'm going in"
  561. [2011-12-26 21:17:19] <Scantron> Spencer frowns as he looks down the hole. "I will too."
  562. [2011-12-26 21:17:22] <Pemander> Marcus edges toward the rest of the group.
  563. [2011-12-26 21:17:29] <Wombat> Katrin pulls down her scope, switches it on, and moves into the hole.
  564. [2011-12-26 21:17:30] <Pemander> "You ain't all gonna fit down there. Not at once, atleast."
  565. [2011-12-26 21:17:57] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes in first: she's small and has a plan...kinda
  566. [2011-12-26 21:17:59] <Scantron> Spencer goes down in after Katrin.
  567. [2011-12-26 21:18:04] <Wombat> Naaah. Katrin's in the front.
  568. [2011-12-26 21:18:09] <Wombat> Better to have weapons in the front.
  569. [2011-12-26 21:18:10] <Scantron> and Rosalind, apparently.
  570. [2011-12-26 21:18:20] <Sequence> Eva just derps after everyone like a derp.
  571. [2011-12-26 21:18:32] <Pemander> Marcus shrugs and follows everyone down the hole.
  572. [2011-12-26 21:18:37] <Pryor> Joseph does that too, only derpier
  573. [2011-12-26 21:18:48] <Pemander> <<Remember guys, eye protection and flowers. Seems silly, might save your life.>>
  574. [2011-12-26 21:18:58] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan is tail end charlie. He gives the meadow one last, suspicious look before descending.
  575. [2011-12-26 21:19:23] <Wombat> Katrin closes her left eye and peers down the tunnel, which is lit in the washed out black and white if infra red.
  576. [2011-12-26 21:19:30] <Soulless> The sound grows louder. There's a whispered 'stop, don't come closer' in the rustling. Or did you all imagine it?
  577. [2011-12-26 21:19:37] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods; she remembers hearing that the Foundation has a cockatrice
  578. [2011-12-26 21:19:53] <Sequence> Eva pauses.
  579. [2011-12-26 21:19:54] <Wombat> "Rosalind, you got anything over your eyes?"
  580. [2011-12-26 21:19:58] <ShockwaveLover> "Did anyone else hear that?" Duncan asks.
  581. [2011-12-26 21:20:01] <Tara_Unknown> "Okay. Do you mind telling us who you are?"
  582. [2011-12-26 21:20:02] <Pemander> Marcus has a devilish grin on his face.
  583. [2011-12-26 21:20:03] <Scantron> "I do."
  584. [2011-12-26 21:20:12] <Pryor> "i heard it"
  585. [2011-12-26 21:20:23] <Pryor> Joseph puts on his sneaky shades
  586. [2011-12-26 21:20:35] <Scantron> Spencer has no eye protection. He doesn't say anything, though.
  587. [2011-12-26 21:20:36] <Sequence> "I did as well." Eva adjusts her glasses.
  588. [2011-12-26 21:20:56] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's combat goggles come with a blackout visor. He flips it down.
  589. [2011-12-26 21:20:57] <Soulless> The whispering rustling again. 'stop, don't come closer'
  590. [2011-12-26 21:21:06] <Wombat> "Or what?"
  591. [2011-12-26 21:21:09] <Scantron> "Can you hear us?"
  592. [2011-12-26 21:21:17] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind has stopped moving and closes her eyes. "I won't come any closer, but I'd like to talk"
  593. [2011-12-26 21:21:24] <Wombat> Katrin's finger rests lightly on the secondary trigger.
  594. [2011-12-26 21:21:40] <Scantron> Spencer's gun is out.
  595. [2011-12-26 21:21:48] <ShockwaveLover> "Is everyone armed?"
  596. [2011-12-26 21:21:55] <Scantron> "I am."
  597. [2011-12-26 21:22:05] <Soulless> Everyone opens up in a larger room. They can feel the sensation of... something under their feet.
  598. [2011-12-26 21:22:08] <Soulless> Something soft.
  599. [2011-12-26 21:22:09] <Pryor> Joseph pulls the glock "not sure what use it is"
  600. [2011-12-26 21:22:19] <Pemander> Marcus lets out a low growl. "Armed to the teeth."
  601. [2011-12-26 21:22:21] <Scantron> Spencer looks down.
  602. [2011-12-26 21:22:23] <Pryor> "oh, good, more shit"
  603. [2011-12-26 21:22:28] <ShockwaveLover> "Eva?"
  604. [2011-12-26 21:22:33] <Sequence> "Duncan?"
  605. [2011-12-26 21:22:44] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind tries to make herself look nonthreatening; a pretty simple tase
  606. [2011-12-26 21:22:49] <Tara_Unknown> *task
  607. [2011-12-26 21:22:52] <Soulless> Flowers.
  608. [2011-12-26 21:22:55] <Soulless> Dead flowers.
  609. [2011-12-26 21:22:55] <ShockwaveLover> "Are you armed?"
  610. [2011-12-26 21:22:59] <Soulless> So many dead flowers.
  611. [2011-12-26 21:23:04] <Sequence> "Got my knives."
  612. [2011-12-26 21:23:13] <Sequence> Eva pulls out her lovely sharp throwing knives.
  613. [2011-12-26 21:23:18] <ShockwaveLover> "Good."
  614. [2011-12-26 21:23:19] <Scantron> "Well, we found its lair." Spencer looks up and around.
  615. [2011-12-26 21:23:27] <Wombat> "You've been taking the flowers. Nobody drop fire, this place'll go up like the fourth of july."
  616. [2011-12-26 21:23:41] <Soulless> That whispering again. 'stop, don't come closer'
  617. [2011-12-26 21:23:46] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind removes her necklace with the flower and places it on the ground with the rest of the dead flowers
  618. [2011-12-26 21:23:46] <Pemander> ~No grenades. Explosion means cave collapse. Fuck.~
  619. [2011-12-26 21:23:50] <Pryor> "f-f-f-fuck this is weird" Joseph's a little edgy, what having not slept and all
  620. [2011-12-26 21:23:57] <Soulless> 'Go away'
  621. [2011-12-26 21:24:05] <Soulless> It's so sad.
  622. [2011-12-26 21:24:05] <Pryor> "I agree!"
  623. [2011-12-26 21:24:06] <Pemander> Marcus slaps Joseph on the back. "Welcome to the job."
  624. [2011-12-26 21:24:06] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan puts his hand on Joseph's shoulder. "Steady mate."
  625. [2011-12-26 21:24:08] <Scantron> Spencer looks around. Do the various flashlights illuminate anything of interest?
  626. [2011-12-26 21:24:09] <Wombat> "Not until you tell us who and what you are."
  627. [2011-12-26 21:24:13] <Tara_Unknown> "May I talk with you?"
  628. [2011-12-26 21:24:28] <Pryor> "you're going about it all wrong, Lads and lasses"
  629. [2011-12-26 21:24:34] <Scantron> "It doesn't seem to be in the mood for talking."
  630. [2011-12-26 21:24:41] <Pryor> "well, Rosalind has the idea"
  631. [2011-12-26 21:24:43] <Soulless> There's no reply for a moment. '...The one without the screaming blossom...'
  632. [2011-12-26 21:24:52] <Pryor> "aye?"
  633. [2011-12-26 21:24:57] <Wombat> Katrin drops her own flower.
  634. [2011-12-26 21:25:01] <Soulless> '...but only that one...'
  635. [2011-12-26 21:25:12] <Scantron> Spencer pauses, then drops his own.
  636. [2011-12-26 21:25:13] <Sequence> Eva sets down her flower.
  637. [2011-12-26 21:25:19] <Soulless> How lighted is the room?
  638. [2011-12-26 21:25:26] <Pemander> Marcus keeps his flower on.
  639. [2011-12-26 21:25:39] <ShockwaveLover> "The screaming blossom?" Duncan fingers his necklace.
  640. [2011-12-26 21:25:39] <Pryor> Joseph steps forward "ay lad, where are you?"
  641. [2011-12-26 21:26:05] <Scantron> Spencer does not have a flashlight.
  642. [2011-12-26 21:26:12] <Pryor> Joseph does not as well
  643. [2011-12-26 21:26:17] <Soulless> '...the ones without the screaming...blossoms...'
  644. [2011-12-26 21:26:27] <Wombat> Katrin cares not for light. She can see in Infra-Red.
  645. [2011-12-26 21:26:36] <Soulless> There's nothing there, or so she can tell.
  646. [2011-12-26 21:26:43] <Soulless> Katrin, that is. The infra-red picks up on nothing.
  647. [2011-12-26 21:26:45] <Tara_Unknown> "Do you have a message for me to tell the village? They are not doing well with the flowers. They take them without giving them any way to keep living..."
  648. [2011-12-26 21:26:48] <Pryor> "do you all want me to go? it'd be best if it were just one of us eaten, if need be"
  649. [2011-12-26 21:26:57] <Wombat> "Whatever it is, it's not warm blooded."
  650. [2011-12-26 21:27:01] <Pryor> "if it resorts to that"
  651. [2011-12-26 21:27:04] <ShockwaveLover> "Nobody's getting eaten."
  652. [2011-12-26 21:27:22] <Tara_Unknown> "I don't believe it will eat me"
  653. [2011-12-26 21:27:28] <Soulless> 'Make the screams go away...'
  654. [2011-12-26 21:27:37] <Wombat> "Tell us, and we will."
  655. [2011-12-26 21:27:40] <Pryor> "well, we don't know that, and it's best if the least scary one helps the thing"
  656. [2011-12-26 21:27:45] <Pryor> "burn the flowers"
  657. [2011-12-26 21:27:51] <Soulless> '...No!'
  658. [2011-12-26 21:27:55] <Soulless> 'Don't burn them!'
  659. [2011-12-26 21:28:04] <Soulless> Joseph, pdef.
  660. [2011-12-26 21:28:05] <Wombat> "Talk to us."
  661. [2011-12-26 21:28:07] <Pryor> "what will you have us do?"
  662. [2011-12-26 21:28:12] <Pryor> 6d8+7
  663. [2011-12-26 21:28:13] <Glacon> Pryor: 39 (6d8+7=7, 7, 1, 8, 1, 8)
  664. [2011-12-26 21:28:14] <Wombat> "Tell us what we want to know."
  665. [2011-12-26 21:28:20] <Pryor> wait, wrong thing
  666. [2011-12-26 21:28:24] <Pryor> 6df+7
  667. [2011-12-26 21:28:24] <Glacon> Pryor: 7 (6df+7=0, 3+, 3+, 4-, 4-, 0)
  668. [2011-12-26 21:28:25] <Tara_Unknown> "No, don't burn them. But the villagers should stop picking them"
  669. [2011-12-26 21:28:44] <Soulless> 6df+7 *sniffle*
  670. [2011-12-26 21:28:45] <Glacon> Soulless: *sniffle*: 10 (6df+7=3+, 3+, 4-, 0, 3+, 3+)
  671. [2011-12-26 21:29:37] <Scantron> "We can get them to stop."
  672. [2011-12-26 21:29:44] <Tara_Unknown> "I'm thinking the rest of you should just go and let me talk." Rosalind sounds angry
  673. [2011-12-26 21:29:51] <Soulless> Joseph is knocked to the ground by... something oddly smooth and flowery. It withers as soon as he's down, falling to the ground to join the dead flowers. -1 body.
  674. [2011-12-26 21:30:00] <ShockwaveLover> "Yeah, shuit it you lot. Let the Doc talk."
  675. [2011-12-26 21:30:04] <Sequence> "Joseph, you okay?"
  676. [2011-12-26 21:30:17] <Pemander> Marcus yanks up one of the flower necklaces and forces it around Joseph's neck.
  677. [2011-12-26 21:30:22] <Pemander> "Keep these on, you stupid fuck."
  678. [2011-12-26 21:30:34] <Pemander> His face is twisted into a bloodthirsty grimace.
  679. [2011-12-26 21:30:44] <Pryor> "well, ever had that feeling where you've been pushed into a pile of rotting vegetation by another sapient form of vegitation and No! i am not ok!"
  680. [2011-12-26 21:30:51] <Soulless> '...Make... her to go... the talker. Come her closer.'
  681. [2011-12-26 21:31:07] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind steps forward
  682. [2011-12-26 21:31:24] <ShockwaveLover> "Careful Doc."
  683. [2011-12-26 21:31:28] <Pemander> Marcus puts a hand in front of Rosalind. "Get the fuck back."
  684. [2011-12-26 21:31:36] <Tara_Unknown> "Do you know what has been causing the deaths in the village?"
  685. [2011-12-26 21:31:45] <Pemander> He starts trudging toward the source of the appendage which struck Joseph.
  686. [2011-12-26 21:31:48] <Tara_Unknown> "Marcus, let me do this"
  687. [2011-12-26 21:32:00] <Pryor> "and I'm the idiot, eh marc?"
  688. [2011-12-26 21:32:04] <Soulless> 'Closer.'
  689. [2011-12-26 21:32:07] <Soulless> 'Away from the others.'
  690. [2011-12-26 21:32:18] <Scantron> Spencer hesitates, then steps back.
  691. [2011-12-26 21:32:25] <Pemander> Marcus looks into Rosalind's eyes and rips off the shades.
  692. [2011-12-26 21:32:26] <Wombat> "We need a backup plan. Pass me those matches."
  693. [2011-12-26 21:32:31] <Pemander> "No."
  694. [2011-12-26 21:32:33] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind tries to move away from the group and towards the voice
  695. [2011-12-26 21:32:40] <Wombat> "If it eats her, we burn it."
  696. [2011-12-26 21:32:45] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan pulls back. "Marcus, get back here. This is her show now."
  697. [2011-12-26 21:32:46] <Pemander> He dons them again and readies his weapon.
  698. [2011-12-26 21:32:51] <Soulless> 'No fire!'
  699. [2011-12-26 21:32:57] <Soulless> Katrin pdef.
  700. [2011-12-26 21:32:59] <Pemander> "You are going to get her fucking killed."
  701. [2011-12-26 21:33:15] <Wombat> 6df+8
  702. [2011-12-26 21:33:16] <Glacon> Wombat: 7 (6df+8=0, 4-, 4-, 0, 0, 3+)
  703. [2011-12-26 21:33:17] <Scantron> "Everyone, just let it talk to Rosalind."
  704. [2011-12-26 21:33:25] <ShockwaveLover> "That's her choice, you can't make it for her."
  705. [2011-12-26 21:33:39] <Soulless> 6df+7 *sob*
  706. [2011-12-26 21:33:40] <Glacon> Soulless: *sob*: 2 (6df+7=4-, 4-, 4-, 0, 4-, 4-)
  707. [2011-12-26 21:33:44] <ShockwaveLover> "Now get. back. here."
  708. [2011-12-26 21:33:53] <Soulless> A weak batch of flowers falls on Katrin.
  709. [2011-12-26 21:34:03] <Wombat> "..."
  710. [2011-12-26 21:34:04] <Soulless> They're all withered and dead.
  711. [2011-12-26 21:34:11] <Pemander> Marcus unsheathes one of his knives and bares his teeth. "What about knives? You like knives?"
  712. [2011-12-26 21:34:21] <Wombat> "As I said. You touch a hair on her head, and we burn you."
  713. [2011-12-26 21:34:24] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind continues to move towards the voice
  714. [2011-12-26 21:34:34] <Soulless> Rosalind, ath!
  715. [2011-12-26 21:34:48] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+4
  716. [2011-12-26 21:34:49] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: 5 (6df+4=3+, 3+, 0, 0, 0, 4-)
  717. [2011-12-26 21:35:51] <Soulless> Rosalind manages to get on her feet as she falls through an unseen hole, covered by flowers. There's a shaft of light here, and a girl sitting in the light. It looks so sad, like it could cry if it could.
  718. [2011-12-26 21:36:07] <Pemander> "Shit."
  719. [2011-12-26 21:36:10] <Pemander> Marcus dives down the hole after her.
  720. [2011-12-26 21:36:16] <Sequence> Eva curses.
  721. [2011-12-26 21:36:24] <Scantron> Spencer runs up and looks down the hole.
  722. [2011-12-26 21:36:28] <ShockwaveLover> "Marcus! You fucking..."
  723. [2011-12-26 21:36:28] <Tara_Unknown> "Hello" Rosalind says kindly to the girl
  724. [2011-12-26 21:36:38] <Soulless> Marcus too can see the girl. She's covered in vines and recoils as more people come in.
  725. [2011-12-26 21:36:41] <Soulless> "No! Only her!"
  726. [2011-12-26 21:36:47] <ShockwaveLover> "Back! Get back from the hole!"
  727. [2011-12-26 21:36:55] <Soulless> She rubs her eyes as if she could cry, but no tears come out.
  728. [2011-12-26 21:36:58] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan pushes Spencer away.
  729. [2011-12-26 21:37:00] <Scantron> Spencer backs up. He seems nervous.
  730. [2011-12-26 21:37:01] <Tara_Unknown> "Get out, Marcus" Rosalind growls
  731. [2011-12-26 21:37:16] <Pemander> Marcus has a fire in his eyes.
  732. [2011-12-26 21:37:28] <ShockwaveLover> "I will shoot the next person to try that little stunt."
  733. [2011-12-26 21:37:40] <Wombat> "I'll shoot anyone who shoots anyone."
  734. [2011-12-26 21:37:50] <Wombat> Katrin has holstered her revolver and has her Defender out.
  735. [2011-12-26 21:37:54] <Soulless> "..." The girl's hair is full of vines. There's a large, shiny crystal coming out from her back, with small, blooming vines on it. It's right through the girl.
  736. [2011-12-26 21:38:17] <Soulless> The crystal, that is, seems to have gone right through her chest.
  737. [2011-12-26 21:38:32] <Pemander> Marcus' eyes sparkle. "That crystal belongs to us."
  738. [2011-12-26 21:38:41] <Tara_Unknown> "Are you okay?" Rosalind asks the girl
  739. [2011-12-26 21:39:00] <Soulless> "...No... I hear their screaming..."
  740. [2011-12-26 21:39:02] <Wombat> Katrin checks her load. Barrels seven and eight, XREP rounds.
  741. [2011-12-26 21:39:10] <Scantron> "Mr. Welk, just /hold/ /on/."
  742. [2011-12-26 21:39:13] <Soulless> Who still has the flower necklace?
  743. [2011-12-26 21:39:17] <Pemander> Marcus.
  744. [2011-12-26 21:39:22] <Pryor> Joseph
  745. [2011-12-26 21:39:25] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's wearing his.
  746. [2011-12-26 21:39:35] <Scantron> Spencer's is on the ground somewhere.
  747. [2011-12-26 21:39:36] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind runs to the girl and puts herself around the child. "Marcus, if you try to take it, you'll have to kill me too"
  748. [2011-12-26 21:39:39] <Soulless> Marcus, Joseph, and Duncan, ath.

  757. [2011-12-26 21:40:29] <Wombat> She flips the barrel selector to seven.
  758. [2011-12-26 21:41:20] <Soulless> Joseph and Duncan have their necklaces removed by vines. The girl takes them in hand and they wither in her palm. "...There... these don't scream anymore..." She throws them away, in a pile of similarly dead and withered flowers.
  759. [2011-12-26 21:41:43] <Pemander> Marcus throws a knife straight at her face.
  760. [2011-12-26 21:41:47] <Pemander> 6df+11 Tagging Tosser

  766. [2011-12-26 21:42:29] <Soulless> It slices her head in two, they flop to opposite sides.

  788. [2011-12-26 21:44:14] <Soulless> Everyone is on their knees from the sobbing, scream of pain erupting from the girl. Except for Joseph, who can see her insides are pretty much green like a plant's.
  789. [2011-12-26 21:44:30] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind continues to hold the child and starts crying
  790. [2011-12-26 21:44:41] <Soulless> The vines force the two halves together again, vining around her face to keep the two halves there. She's sobbing hard now.
  791. [2011-12-26 21:44:47] <Pryor> Joseph runs to the girl, dropping the gun "lass!"
  792. [2011-12-26 21:44:59] <Pemander> 6df+10 Tasar? Tagging Let's Get it Done

  794. [2011-12-26 21:45:04] <Scantron> Spencer holds his head and moves over to Rosalind.
  795. [2011-12-26 21:45:10] <Tara_Unknown> "Everyone else go!"
  796. [2011-12-26 21:45:19] <Sequence> Eva moves to Rosalind as well.
  797. [2011-12-26 21:45:22] <Wombat> The round whistles past Marcus and impacts in a wall, sparking fitfully.
  798. [2011-12-26 21:45:27] <ShockwaveLover> "You heard the woman! Go!"
  799. [2011-12-26 21:45:28] <Pryor> "bugger that, I'm not leaving the child"
  800. [2011-12-26 21:45:33] <Tara_Unknown> "Just..go..."

  802. [2011-12-26 21:45:59] <Soulless> "Stop hurting me! Stop hurting me!" It cries and screams.
  803. [2011-12-26 21:46:13] <Pryor> "I'm not leaving" joseph is pretty much set on this one "get marcus out of here, dunc,"
  804. [2011-12-26 21:46:14] <ShockwaveLover> "This is not the time for an arguement! She wants you out, you get out!"
  805. [2011-12-26 21:46:31] <Scantron> Spencer grabs Marcus and tries to drag him away.
  806. [2011-12-26 21:46:39] <Wombat> The next barrel rotates into position. "Marcus. Get away."
  807. [2011-12-26 21:46:40] <Soulless> Who still has their flower necklace?
  808. [2011-12-26 21:46:42] <Pemander> Marcus takes off his flower necklace and throws it to the ground, stomping on it.
  809. [2011-12-26 21:46:54] <Soulless> Nevermind then.
  810. [2011-12-26 21:46:54] <Sequence> Eva has already set her flower necklace down.
  811. [2011-12-26 21:47:16] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's grabbed his Steyr from the floor, and has it trained on Marcus.
  812. [2011-12-26 21:47:21] <Scantron> "Marcus, fuck off." Spencer continues to try and drag Marcus away.
  813. [2011-12-26 21:47:21] <Pemander> He approaches the child with all of his weapons aside. "We can stop the pain if you give us that crystal."
  814. [2011-12-26 21:47:29] <Pemander> He shrugs Spencer away.
  815. [2011-12-26 21:47:40] <Tara_Unknown> "Marcus, let me do this"
  816. [2011-12-26 21:47:45] <Soulless> "I can't... I can't..." It's lodged through her. Probably removing it would have some... unpleasant effects.
  817. [2011-12-26 21:47:47] <Scantron> Spencer walks back up to Marcus and forcefully attempts to drag him back.
  818. [2011-12-26 21:47:56] <Pemander> Marcus takes off the shades. "Please. We can help."
  819. [2011-12-26 21:48:00] <Scantron> 6df+9 tagging old fashioned to not let Marcus hurt the child

  824. [2011-12-26 21:48:20] <Pemander> Marcus pushes Spencer aside.
  825. [2011-12-26 21:48:27] <ShockwaveLover> His voice sounds like the deepest darkest pits of hell.
  826. [2011-12-26 21:48:33] <Sequence> 6df+6 Ath to drag Marcus away!

  833. [2011-12-26 21:49:25] <Pemander> Marcus lets Eva drag him away.
  834. [2011-12-26 21:49:36] <Sequence> She smacks him upside the head for good measure.
  835. [2011-12-26 21:49:43] <Tara_Unknown> She turns to the child. "I just wanted to know if you know what has been killing the people in the village. If you want to come with us, you can, but I would understand if you didn't want to"
  836. [2011-12-26 21:49:45] <Pemander> "...sorry."
  837. [2011-12-26 21:50:09] <Scantron> Spencer glares at Marcus for a moment, then turns back to Rosalind and the plant girl.
  838. [2011-12-26 21:50:10] <ShockwaveLover> "Spencer. With me."
  839. [2011-12-26 21:50:14] <Soulless> "They were making the screaming louder..."
  840. [2011-12-26 21:50:23] <ShockwaveLover> His voice brooks no arguements.
  841. [2011-12-26 21:50:25] <Soulless> She girl sniffles.
  842. [2011-12-26 21:50:31] <Tara_Unknown> "How?"
  843. [2011-12-26 21:50:33] <Scantron> Spencer moves back to Duncan.
  844. [2011-12-26 21:50:40] <Soulless> She motions to the dead flowers.
  845. [2011-12-26 21:50:45] <Soulless> "..I hear them....""
  846. [2011-12-26 21:51:02] <Tara_Unknown> "When did you start hearing them?"

  849. [2011-12-26 21:51:22] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan follows Eva, his gun never wavering from Marcus' face.
  850. [2011-12-26 21:51:36] <Wombat> *Kzzzzzt*
  851. [2011-12-26 21:51:52] <Pryor> "lass, we can take you away from all this, you'll never have to hear them again"
  852. [2011-12-26 21:51:54] <Soulless> "When I... *sniff* the shiny thing... I wanted to bring it back..."
  853. [2011-12-26 21:52:38] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods. "Lisa?"
  854. [2011-12-26 21:53:12] <Wombat> The shell expends its twenty seconds of electricity into Marcus, then goes silent.
  855. [2011-12-26 21:53:21] <ShockwaveLover> "Take him outside, Doc?"
  856. [2011-12-26 21:53:36] <Soulless> "...Mmmhm..." She nods her head. "I picked it up and it asked if I wanted could do anything... what it would do... and... *sniff* I said I wanted to talk to flowers..."
  857. [2011-12-26 21:54:29] <Pryor> Joseph looks up at Rosalind, a look of horror on his face
  858. [2011-12-26 21:54:31] <Scantron> Every few seconds or so, Spencer looks like he's going to say something, but then closes his mouth.
  859. [2011-12-26 21:54:37] <Tara_Unknown> "I'll tell them to stop hurting the flowers. I didn't like the way they were using them either"
  860. [2011-12-26 21:54:52] <Soulless> "All the flowers scream..."
  861. [2011-12-26 21:55:07] <Soulless> "Because they all know they're going to wither away... So many screams... the screams scream..."
  862. [2011-12-26 21:55:17] <ShockwaveLover> "Hey Katrin. Did that knock him out?"
  863. [2011-12-26 21:55:20] <Soulless> She buries her face in her hands, but is unallowed even the self-comfort of tears.
  864. [2011-12-26 21:55:21] <Pryor> "lass, look at me,"
  865. [2011-12-26 21:55:26] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind hugs the girl
  866. [2011-12-26 21:55:56] <Tara_Unknown> "What can I do to help you feel better?"
  867. [2011-12-26 21:56:08] <Soulless> She shakes her head. "I... I don't know... I just don't want to hear it anymore..."
  868. [2011-12-26 21:56:30] <Wombat> "He shouldn't be able to move for quite a while. Currently, I believe he should feel like he's been worked over with a baseball bat."
  869. [2011-12-26 21:56:31] <Pryor> "lass, we can take you somewhere where you won't hear the screaming anymore"
  870. [2011-12-26 21:56:47] <Tara_Unknown> "Oh, sweetie..."
  871. [2011-12-26 21:56:49] <Scantron> "We have a girl a lot like you there."
  872. [2011-12-26 21:56:54] <ShockwaveLover> "Good. Then he'll be able to feel this."
  873. [2011-12-26 21:57:23] <Soulless> "Where should I go? I can hear so much screaming..."
  874. [2011-12-26 21:57:25] <ShockwaveLover> 6df+4 Rifle butt to the balls
  875. [2011-12-26 21:57:25] <Glacon> ShockwaveLover: Rifle butt to the balls: 2 (6df+4=4-, 0, 0, 3+, 4-, 4-)
  876. [2011-12-26 21:57:32] <Pemander> 6df+6 yeah right
  877. [2011-12-26 21:57:33] <Glacon> Pemander: yeah right: 6 (6df+6=0, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-)
  878. [2011-12-26 21:57:41] <Pemander> Marcus grabs the butt of the rifle. "Sorry, but no."
  879. [2011-12-26 21:57:45] <Pryor> "we'll take you to a castle, you won't hear the screaming in the castle"
  880. [2011-12-26 21:57:56] <Scantron> "There aren't flowers in the castle."
  881. [2011-12-26 21:57:58] <Wombat> Katrin re-loads the two barrels.
  882. [2011-12-26 21:58:02] <Scantron> Spencer catches on quickly.
  883. [2011-12-26 21:58:04] <Wombat> "Care to try anything else?"
  884. [2011-12-26 21:58:08] <Tara_Unknown> "There are no flowers in the snowy place we're from. But I worry that even that won't be enough"
  885. [2011-12-26 21:58:23] <Pemander> "Nah, I'm done. Sorry guys."
  886. [2011-12-26 21:58:26] <Pryor> "well, it can't be worse than here"
  887. [2011-12-26 21:58:27] <Soulless> "*sniff* snowy place..."
  888. [2011-12-26 21:58:31] <ShockwaveLover> "Kneecapping him is tempting."
  889. [2011-12-26 21:58:47] <Scantron> "The snow makes everything quiet."
  890. [2011-12-26 21:58:53] <ShockwaveLover> "But then we'd have to lug him to the sub."
  891. [2011-12-26 21:58:58] <Pryor> "it's a very pretty place"
  892. [2011-12-26 21:59:10] <Tara_Unknown> "Will you come with me?"
  893. [2011-12-26 21:59:24] <Soulless> "...No... I don't wanna go anywhere..."
  894. [2011-12-26 21:59:35] <Soulless> "I just want the screams to go away..."
  895. [2011-12-26 21:59:46] <Pryor> "lass, we won't be taking you forever,"
  896. [2011-12-26 22:00:06] <Scantron> "...is there any way you can give us the crystal?"
  897. [2011-12-26 22:00:15] <Pryor> "we'll try to get the shiny thing away, that may get the screaming to stop"
  898. [2011-12-26 22:00:27] <ShockwaveLover> "We should restrain him."
  899. [2011-12-26 22:00:42] <Soulless> "No... When... when they tried to remove it... the vines..." She sobs again.
  900. [2011-12-26 22:00:44] <Pemander> "Don't bother. Like I said, I'm done."
  901. [2011-12-26 22:00:50] <Pemander> "Besides, that XREP round hurt like fuck."
  902. [2011-12-26 22:00:59] <Pemander> Marcus is crying a little.
  903. [2011-12-26 22:01:06] <Scantron> "What did the vines do?"
  904. [2011-12-26 22:01:12] <Pryor> "don't worry, we've got a lot more then the villagers do, we'll find a way, trust us."
  905. [2011-12-26 22:01:26] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods. "If you're willing to let go of the shiny thing...but I think it might kill you. It may be different if you allow it to be removed"
  906. [2011-12-26 22:01:47] <Wombat> Katrin puts her hand on Marcus' shoulder. "Hey, would you rather it was a real round?"
  907. [2011-12-26 22:02:06] <Wombat> She pulls the barbs of the round out of his clothing. "Souvenier for you."
  908. [2011-12-26 22:02:07] <Soulless> She nods. "...Okay..."
  909. [2011-12-26 22:02:14] <Soulless> "You can... try..."
  910. [2011-12-26 22:02:15] <Pemander> Marcus sniffs, and chuckles a little bit. "Nah. Thanks for not using the real deal, I guess. Not sure what came over me."
  911. [2011-12-26 22:02:26] <Wombat> She offers it.
  912. [2011-12-26 22:02:45] <Scantron> Spencer gives Marcus a light pat. "It's all right. Everyone does dumb things occasionally."
  913. [2011-12-26 22:02:47] <Pemander> Marcus takes the round. "...souvenir."
  914. [2011-12-26 22:02:48] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind very carefully tries to remove the crystal from the girl
  915. [2011-12-26 22:03:57] <Pryor> Joseph places his hand on Rosalinds' stopping her "not here, we don't know what'll happen"
  916. [2011-12-26 22:04:15] <Soulless> Rosalind, roll.
  917. [2011-12-26 22:04:25] <Tara_Unknown> Roll what?
  918. [2011-12-26 22:04:35] <Soulless> Ath, if you're going to try and remove the crystal.
  919. [2011-12-26 22:04:44] <Soulless> Lisa still sobs, her sobbing muffled by the vines.
  920. [2011-12-26 22:05:05] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+4 Careful attempt
  921. [2011-12-26 22:05:06] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: Careful attempt: 5 (6df+4=3+, 0, 4-, 3+, 0, 0)
  922. [2011-12-26 22:05:25] <Soulless> Rosalind, PDEF.
  923. [2011-12-26 22:05:41] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+4 gonna get hurt
  924. [2011-12-26 22:05:41] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: gonna get hurt: 6 (6df+4=3+, 3+, 3+, 0, 4-, 0)
  925. [2011-12-26 22:06:01] <Soulless> 6df+7 HURTS
  926. [2011-12-26 22:06:02] <Glacon> Soulless: HURTS: 8 (6df+7=3+, 4-, 3+, 0, 4-, 3+)
  927. [2011-12-26 22:06:34] <Soulless> WHAPPA. Rosalind is knocked to the side by the vines. The girl screams in apparent pain. -1 body for Rosalind.
  928. [2011-12-26 22:06:51] <Pryor> "shh, it's ok lass, Ros, you alright?"
  929. [2011-12-26 22:06:55] <Pemander> Marcus grimaces.
  930. [2011-12-26 22:07:02] <Pryor> joseph tries his best to comfort the girl
  931. [2011-12-26 22:07:04] <Scantron> Spencer rushes over to Rosalind. "Are you all right?"
  932. [2011-12-26 22:07:36] <Soulless> PDEF, Joseph.
  933. [2011-12-26 22:07:42] <Tara_Unknown> "Ow. I'm sorry. It looks like you'll have to come with us to make the screaming stop." She smiles at the girl. "I'm not mad"
  934. [2011-12-26 22:07:58] <Scantron> 6df+4 medical on Rosalind tagging MMG
  935. [2011-12-26 22:07:58] <Glacon> Scantron: medical on Rosalind tagging MMG: 0 (6df+4=4-, 4-, 4-, 0, 4-, 0)
  936. [2011-12-26 22:08:00] <Pryor> 6df+7
  937. [2011-12-26 22:08:01] <Glacon> Pryor: 7 (6df+7=0, 4-, 4-, 3+, 3+, 0)

  939. [2011-12-26 22:08:14] <Glacon> Soulless: FT'AGN: 6 (6df+7=0, 4-, 0, 4-, 3+, 0)
  940. [2011-12-26 22:08:32] <Soulless> Joseph is whacked by another flowery vine, trying to push him away, but he stands firm!
  941. [2011-12-26 22:09:20] <Tara_Unknown> "Lisa, will you come with us?"
  942. [2011-12-26 22:09:46] <Pryor> Joseph starts quietly singing Eamonn An chnoic
  943. [2011-12-26 22:09:55] <Tara_Unknown> 6df+1 to get healed
  944. [2011-12-26 22:09:55] <Glacon> Tara_Unknown: to get healed: 6 (6df+1=3+, 3+, 3+, 3+, 3+, 0)
  945. [2011-12-26 22:10:01] <ShockwaveLover> "You guys need a hand down there?" Duncan calls.
  946. [2011-12-26 22:10:37] <Scantron> Spencer cannot heal Rosalind! He steps back.
  947. [2011-12-26 22:11:10] <Tara_Unknown> "Lisa? I just want to help you"
  948. [2011-12-26 22:11:18] <Soulless> Lisa nods and gets up, the vines pulling her tightly.
  949. [2011-12-26 22:11:55] <Scantron> Does it seem like she's having trouble standing?
  950. [2011-12-26 22:11:59] <Soulless> Her large, doll-like eyes, pupils in the shape of blossoms, look up to Rosalind with trust to take her away from all her pain.
  951. [2011-12-26 22:12:05] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind goes to Lisa to help
  952. [2011-12-26 22:12:12] <Soulless> No, she seems to walk fine... albeit, like a marionette on strings.
  953. [2011-12-26 22:12:51] <Scantron> Spencer steps back.
  954. [2011-12-26 22:13:17] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind holds her hand out to Lisa
  955. [2011-12-26 22:13:18] <Wombat> Katrin stands ready.
  956. [2011-12-26 22:13:28] <Sequence> Eva derps silently.
  957. [2011-12-26 22:13:32] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan's still guarding Marcus.
  958. [2011-12-26 22:13:41] <Soulless> Lisa takes Rosalind's hand, making her way out of the hole.
  959. [2011-12-26 22:14:02] <Tara_Unknown> "Come on, let's go" she says to Lisa
  960. [2011-12-26 22:15:09] <Soulless> "Okay."
  961. [2011-12-26 22:15:09] <Tara_Unknown> "I suggest we take a route back to the sub the circumvents the village. Too many dead flowers" she says to the rest
  962. [2011-12-26 22:15:24] <Scantron> "Agreed."
  963. [2011-12-26 22:15:25] <Wombat> "Let's get her back to the sub."
  964. [2011-12-26 22:15:29] <Soulless> "...The village! Don't go there! Oh, I can hear the screaming they put on the flowers every night..."
  965. [2011-12-26 22:15:36] <ShockwaveLover> "Should I go tell the chief his problem's solved?"
  966. [2011-12-26 22:15:38] <Soulless> She starts looking like she would cry, but she can't cry anymore.
  967. [2011-12-26 22:15:45] <Soulless> "I have to kill the flowers every night..."
  968. [2011-12-26 22:16:03] <Wombat> "DOn't worry. We won't go there."
  969. [2011-12-26 22:16:08] <ShockwaveLover> "Doc?"
  970. [2011-12-26 22:16:25] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind nods. "I don't want to take you through the village. I don't want you to have to hear the screams"
  971. [2011-12-26 22:16:35] <Soulless> "I hear them now..."
  972. [2011-12-26 22:16:38] <Soulless> She sniffles.
  973. [2011-12-26 22:16:42] <Soulless> "So many screams..."
  974. [2011-12-26 22:16:50] <Tara_Unknown> "We'll take the long way"
  975. [2011-12-26 22:17:16] <ShockwaveLover> "Earth to Doc - should I go tell the chief?"
  976. [2011-12-26 22:17:45] <Scantron> "I don't know... they may want her back. We sort of... need her with us."
  977. [2011-12-26 22:17:47] <Tara_Unknown> "Tell the chief. And tell him to stop picking flowers!"
  978. [2011-12-26 22:18:06] <ShockwaveLover> "I'll just let him know that the problem's solved. No specifics."
  979. [2011-12-26 22:18:16] <ShockwaveLover> "Aside from the advice about the flowers."
  980. [2011-12-26 22:18:28] <ShockwaveLover> He jogs off in the direction of the village.
  981. [2011-12-26 22:18:36] <Scantron> "That seems good."
  982. [2011-12-26 22:19:32] <Soulless> Lisa climbs out of the hole, looking at all the flowers with a pained look.
  983. [2011-12-26 22:19:40] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind takes Lisa to the sub in the most roundabout way, trying to keep her from the village
  984. [2011-12-26 22:19:41] <ShockwaveLover> Arriving on the outskirts of the hovel, he slows. Everyone's still inside.
  985. [2011-12-26 22:20:01] <ShockwaveLover> Is the chief's house obvious?
  986. [2011-12-26 22:20:17] <Soulless> It's a liiiittle bigger. Still shabby, but a little less shabby.
  987. [2011-12-26 22:20:18] <Pemander> Marcus looks really down.
  988. [2011-12-26 22:20:38] <ShockwaveLover> Probably a good idea to try the bigger one first. He knocks on the door.
  989. [2011-12-26 22:21:04] <Soulless> The man looks out. "Did you... Did you get the demon?"
  990. [2011-12-26 22:21:13] <Soulless> Oh, how they'd feel if the demon was really one of them.
  991. [2011-12-26 22:21:23] <ShockwaveLover> "It won't trouble you anymore."
  992. [2011-12-26 22:21:31] <ShockwaveLover> He has his best Eva flatface on.
  993. [2011-12-26 22:21:38] <Pryor> joseph pulls duncan aside and whispers to him "be ready to kill him if he reacts harshly
  994. [2011-12-26 22:21:47] <Soulless> "Wonderful! Wonderful! We should celebrate!"
  995. [2011-12-26 22:21:49] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan is alone.
  996. [2011-12-26 22:21:59] <Pryor> retcon
  997. [2011-12-26 22:22:08] <Scantron> Spencer is with Rosalind and Lisa. He's not saying anything.
  998. [2011-12-26 22:22:12] <Sequence> Eva derps in the background~
  999. [2011-12-26 22:22:41] <Soulless> Lisa hugs Rosalind.
  1000. [2011-12-26 22:22:43] <Soulless> So sad.
  1001. [2011-12-26 22:22:45] <ShockwaveLover> "As much as I'd love too, we've got more to do. Demons never rest, you know."
  1002. [2011-12-26 22:22:52] <Soulless> "...Let's... let's go..." She sniffles...
  1003. [2011-12-26 22:23:10] <Soulless> The man nods and offers a hand. "Thank you so much! We can finally get back to living our lives without this menace!"
  1004. [2011-12-26 22:23:15] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind hugs Lisa. "I'll do everything i can for you"
  1005. [2011-12-26 22:23:29] <Scantron> "So will I."
  1006. [2011-12-26 22:23:30] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan shakes it. "One piece of advice."
  1007. [2011-12-26 22:23:36] <Soulless> "Okay." She looks up to everyone, so trusting, but so miserable.
  1008. [2011-12-26 22:23:55] <Soulless> "What is it?" The man looks curiously, but he grins happily. Like a person with a whole burden lifted off his shoulders.
  1009. [2011-12-26 22:24:14] <ShockwaveLover> He gestures at the flowers. "Stop picking them."
  1010. [2011-12-26 22:24:37] <Soulless> "Of course! Anything you say."
  1011. [2011-12-26 22:25:07] <ShockwaveLover> "I mean it. The picked flowers were what was attracting it."
  1012. [2011-12-26 22:25:38] <ShockwaveLover> He nods at the chief. "Best of luck, sir."
  1013. [2011-12-26 22:25:47] <Soulless> "Goodness, really? Good to know! I'll alert everyone! Thank you sir."
  1014. [2011-12-26 22:25:57] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind helps Lisa into the sub when they reach it
  1015. [2011-12-26 22:26:06] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan jogs back to the sub.
  1016. [2011-12-26 22:26:26] <Pemander> Marcus sads back into the sub and sits in a corner.
  1017. [2011-12-26 22:26:31] <Sequence> Eva derps into the sub and pats Rosalind on the back.
  1018. [2011-12-26 22:26:40] <Scantron> Spencer sits next to Rosalind.
  1019. [2011-12-26 22:26:41] <Sequence> She looks disapprovingly at Marcus.
  1020. [2011-12-26 22:26:46] <ShockwaveLover> "Hold the boat! I've got a ticket!"
  1021. [2011-12-26 22:26:53] <Sequence> And she glares at Spencer.
  1022. [2011-12-26 22:27:03] <Tara_Unknown> Rosalind holds Lisa and keeps her away from Marcus
  1023. [2011-12-26 22:27:05] <Pryor> joseph stares out a little more, making sure he sees duncan head up, before climbing in
  1024. [2011-12-26 22:27:11] <ShockwaveLover> He steps in, taking a seat as far away from Marcus as is possible.
  1025. [2011-12-26 22:27:15] <Scantron> "Eva, I have some things to finish up when we get back, but then I'll need to talk to you."
  1026. [2011-12-26 22:27:35] <ShockwaveLover> Pulling the door closed, he does a headcount.
  1027. [2011-12-26 22:27:39] <Pemander> Marcus looks to Lisa. "I'm...so sorry."
  1028. [2011-12-26 22:27:48] <Sequence> "Fine."
  1029. [2011-12-26 22:27:50] <Pemander> He stares at the floor of the sub.
  1030. [2011-12-26 22:27:52] <ShockwaveLover> "All present and correct, plus one."
  1031. [2011-12-26 22:27:57] <Soulless> Lisa nods. "...It's okay sir..."
  1032. [2011-12-26 22:28:10] <ShockwaveLover> "We are dusting off."
  1033. [2011-12-26 22:28:19] <Soulless> "I don't blame you." She shuffles over to try and put a hand on him to comfort him. Oh god, she's trying to comfort when she's in so much pain.
  1034. [2011-12-26 22:28:33] <Pemander> Marcus begins openly weeping.
  1035. [2011-12-26 22:28:34] <Scantron> Spencer turns to Rosalind. "Whenever you want to talk... I'll be ready."
  1036. [2011-12-26 22:28:44] <Soulless> "I'm a scary monster. It's okay... Please don't cry sir."
  1037. [2011-12-26 22:28:53] <ShockwaveLover> Duncan hits the switch.
