Star Group Session 4

04:40:51: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Welcome. We last left our intrepid adventurers in a long abandoned Three story apartment building. Just fighting off a pack of mindless giant ants, our group finds themselves specifically inside a studio apartment, but the cost of living is a little extreme. They continue to trek onward to the source of the Ant infestation intent on clearing it out. Green has returned, yet Roy_Calbeck is nowhere to be seen. Nopony seems to notice.
04:41:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Session 4 Start.
04:42:17: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group finds it is early morning.
04:42:48: Sour_Grape yaaaaawns and streatches her hooves and curses at the morning light
04:43:35: Smooth-Jazz is sitting on the windowsil
04:43:42: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green finds she is sleeping on a queen sized bed, next to Sour_Grape who has just awoken from her adorable slumber. Inside the room is an old dresser in a corner, a large blown out window with light pouring in, as well as a closet with two doors leading out into adjacent rooms.
04:44:14: ammy is still sleeping like a log on the floor using her saddlebags as a pillow
04:44:15: Green springs to life, and grins at Sour_Grape "Good morning everypony!"
04:44:19: Dust_Off yaaaaaawns and gets off the bed. She stretches herelf, flapping her wings to get the blood flowing.
04:44:51: Sour_Grape huffs at being called adorable and looks around to macke sure nobody saw that. Crap, Green saw her being adorable, "Hey." She mumbled rubbing her eye before hopping of fthe bed, and wincing. "What happened last night..."
04:45:35: <Green> "Stuff."
04:45:39: Dust_Off is in the same room. Roy had turned into Green. The pegasus was boggled. What had happened last night?
04:45:52: Green checks the old dresser in the corner.
04:46:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off is oblivious to the change and shan't mention it. So is everypony else.
04:46:44: Smooth-Jazz is watching the sun rise in the city
04:47:08: Dust_Off feels suddenly dumber. All is fine.
04:47:25: Sour_Grape looks around and chews on her lip some, "We goin' ant hunting. Someone needs to save your asses"
04:49:13: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz, notes that the window is overlooking the ruined street that curves undoubtedly from their previous position before entering the bulding. He can spot many rows of destroyed buildings in various ruined conditions. The road leads down a slight decline then curves to the right. Flanked by many buildings, many of which are becoming larger and slightly complex in design.
04:49:35: Smooth-Jazz hums
04:50:42: Sour_Grape runs over to the window and leans out it somewhat and looks down wondering what would happen if she jumped and flapped her wings.
04:51:23: Dust_Off walks out of the room and goes to Ammy. "How are you feeling?"
04:51:28: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz also notes the highway to the far right of their building, it leads into the heart of the city.
04:52:37: ammy groans before opening her eyes to the mean old light shineing in her eyes "Like shit"
04:52:39: Green follows Sour_Grape and looks out the window with her.
04:52:54: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy is sleeping on the couch in the living room. The living room has a small table, with items on it, as well as another table with a ruined Television and radio. There is nothing else on that table. The Living room also leads into the walk-in kitchen area complete with Refrigerator and Stove. As well as the doors to the bedroom and bathroom.
04:53:36: Sour_Grape grumbles at the height and turns away looking up at Green, "Where are the dumb ants?"
04:53:42: Dust_Off nods. "You got hit hard. Are you sure everything's where it's supposed to be?"
04:53:58: <Green> "Probably still sleeping."
04:54:50: Sour_Grape tilts her head at Green, "They sleep?"
04:54:57: ammy shrugs "How am I ment to check?"
04:55:20: <Green> "They probably party all night like raiders."
04:56:26: Sour_Grape blinks at Green, "Raiders don't party everynight, just the fun ones."
04:57:13: <Green> "They dont?"
04:57:25: Smooth-Jazz "Fun nights? Fun nights can be every night if you play the tunes right, kid."
04:57:44: Dust_Off laughs. "Just keep your wits. If anything feels off, get me, okay?"
04:58:24: Sour_Grape shakes her head, "If they parties all night evernight, they wouldn't be rested enough for ambushes, duuuh."
04:58:30: ammy "It'll be fine i'm sure, thanks for checking"
04:59:31: <Green> "Alright. Lets go kill more ants, before they hurt some more ponies."
04:59:50: Sour_Grape nods and looks around, "Right." She looks for good scavenge first of course
05:00:49: Dust_Off nods. "I look after my patients." The mare looks around. She reaches into her pack and takes out the 10mm pistol She racks the slide ejecting her last two 10mm rounds. She drops the pistol back into her bags, and gathers the rounds. She walks over to Smooth-Jazz. "Here, Mister Jazz, I don't have much use for two rounds."
05:01:39: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour-grape notes that the closet still has the locked ammunation box, as well as there being a small dresser in the corner of the bedroom.
05:01:42: Smooth-Jazz hums. "In that case," he levitates out 20 rounds out. "Make that 22, doll."
05:01:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ammunation box is metal
05:02:11: Sour_Grape calls out, "Anyone pick locks?"
05:02:44: Smooth-Jazz levitates the rounds to Dust_Off.
05:02:50: <Green> "no, but we've got space in our saddlebags to carry it back. Maybe somepony in town opens locks."
05:04:16: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Ammunition box is fairly bulky for a container. Any pony attempting to carry said container will have severely limited room in their inventory. Sour_Grape will be overburdened if she attempts to carry it.
05:04:24: Sour_Grape looks up at Green, "I have a better idea." The grabs the metal box runs over to the window and chucks it out the window, "That should open it!"
05:04:29: Smooth-Jazz yawns "Lockpick? I can try..."
05:04:34: <Sour_Grape> "Too late"
05:04:39: Dust_Off blinks at the twenty rounds...of 10mm? "Mister Jazz, don't you need them?
05:05:02: Green looks at the filly, mouth agape in shock. "There could be a pony down there." she finally mutters.
05:05:07: Smooth-Jazz shakes his head. "I'm sure I'll be fine. You take em."
05:05:59: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ammunition box lets out a very large crashing and rattling sound, as it lands on the street below. To Sour_Grape's amazement and disappointment, the box does not open, it still remains shut. Sturdy!
05:06:24: Sour_Grape "Only ponies in this town tried to shoot us..." She leans out the window and glares at the bow, "Awww not fair. Imma go grab it and try again."
05:06:26: Dust_Off smiles. "Thank you very much, Mister Jazz." Dust_Off jumps at the crash. "What was that!
05:07:31: <Green> "Grape threw something out the window."
05:07:35: Sour_Grape waves a wing at Dust_Off, "Threw something out the window to open it... it didn't work. Gunna go try again."
05:08:13: Dust_Off raises an eyebrow at the filly. "What did you throw out the window?"
05:08:24: Smooth-Jazz sighs. "Can I at least try and pick it before you do that again, kid? Any cat got a bobby pin?"
05:08:35: <Green> "Bobby what?"
05:08:52: Smooth-Jazz "Bobbypin."
05:09:13: Sour_Grape "An ammunition box... can't we least stop waiting up here, lets go."
05:09:45: Smooth-Jazz has all his gear ready
05:10:15: Green shrugs. "Well, lets go fetch the box you threw out and see if it attracted some ants."
05:10:48: Sour_Grape grins and runs past everyone towards the stairs. She loved killing ants. At least they didn't insult you when you shot them
05:11:04: Dust_Off hadn't thought to bring hair styling tools. She'd thought it was myth..the bobby pin lockpickery. She shakes her head and walks to the kitchen and begins searching the room for anything useful.
05:11:05: ammy stumbles up legs and body still aching in some places but overall she is fine
05:11:08: Green runs after. "Wait up!"
05:12:13: Sour_Grape doesn't wait up because she wants to get down and get a mint-al before anyone notices
05:13:54: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, looks in the kitchen. She sees three countertops with several plates and a couple of medium sized cups. She also finds in the cabinets there are various pots and pans as well as more dishes. The Refigerator and Stove are also there unopened as well as a sink with a heavily rusted tap faucet.
05:14:27: Green is running after her in hero mode to get down before Sour_Grape falls down the stairs or something.
05:14:33: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, finds an ancient bottle of spices and salt in one of the cabinets. Sour_Grape, is down in the lobby with Green about to head out into the street.
05:15:15: Sour_Grape rolls her eyes at Green working so hard to catch upmwith ehr and follows him outside and walks over to the ammo box kicking it
05:15:38: Dust_Off perks at the spices and salt. She takes them down and looks at them.
05:16:17: <Green> "No ants huh."
05:16:32: Dust_Off smiles and stuffs the salt and spices into her pack.
05:16:53: Sour_Grape looks around the street
05:17:05: <Dust_Off> The pegasus mare goes and carefully opens the fridge door. Who knows the horrors of a fridge uncleaned for centuries!
05:17:35: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape and Green are now outside, they have rounded the corner of the street that the building was on, and traveled down said street, overlooking the dented ammunition box. The lock seems to be remained intact. The buildings flanking the streets have fairly narrow alleyways from what they can see so far.
05:17:47: <Green> "Lets not get lost before the others are ready to move."
05:18:36: Sour_Grape chuckles, "Would I do that?"
05:19:00: Smooth-Jazz is outside too
05:19:10: <Green> "and there's also the chance of that stalker following you."
05:19:42: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, opens the refrigerator and finds to her horror, a plate that is corroded and filled with a black moldy substance that is overlapping and covering the walls of the refigerator. The smell is overwhelming for her, and causes her to recoil and vomit on the floor. She did note there was two other cans in there, unopened.
05:20:03: Sour_Grape picks up the box and trots over to Smooth-Jazz and drops it infront of him like a prize. "What stalker?"
05:20:41: <Green> "The one that wanted to burn down the drinking place."
05:21:18: Smooth-Jazz examines the lock. "hmm... alright, I can try, but I need a few bobby pins and maybe a screw driver
05:21:51: Green picks up her shovel. "I cwn try"
05:22:17: Dust_Off retches and coughs. She stumbles away. "Stu-" huurrrkk.. "stupid dirt ponies." She finishes retching and washes her mouth out with her canteen, spits it out, and then takes a fresh drink. The mare breathes through her mouth as she edges forwards and takes the two unopened cans. She wounds if she could use the mold for penicillin.
05:22:57: Sour_Grape "Right... bobby pins...":
05:23:07: Smooth-Jazz just raises an eyebrow at Green. "Unlock...with a shovel...really...."
05:23:25: <Green> "Yush!"
05:23:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off is unsure whether or not the mold would be beneficial for medical purposes. It was definitely a good way to induce vomitting.
05:23:57: Smooth-Jazz "That....won't work...."
05:24:34: Dust_Off just takes the cans. Biological warfare was not her cup of tea....urrg...don't think about food.
05:24:46: <Dust_Off> She takes the cans and slams the door shut
05:25:18: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, notes the cans labelled is, "Cram".
05:25:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 They also have their own convienent opening tool. Neat!
05:25:41: ammy looks at Dust "Someponies snippy today"
05:25:44: <Green> "I might be able to bend it over, with the proper application of force to gain le-leverage."
05:25:47: Sour_Grape humms, "Maybe if we throw the box at someone."
05:27:00: Green takes the box and puts it in her saddlebag. "No."
05:27:12: <Green> "I'll store it until you come up with something better."
05:28:02: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The sun is getting slightly higher over the horizon now.
05:28:06: Dust_Off looks at Ammy as she put the cans into her bags. "That was horrid! You can open it if you wish. Please allow me to get clear or a gas mask." Dust_Off cautiously opens the oven and flutters backwards just in case.
05:28:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, finds nothing inside, beyond a pilot light.
05:28:51: Sour_Grape makes a face and sighs calling up to the apartment, "YOU GUYS COMING DOWN OR WHAT?"
05:29:15: Green supresses the notion of jawning with boredom and instead begins to do ponypushups while waiting.
05:30:05: Sour_Grape jumps on Green's back to help
05:30:12: Dust_Off looks around and takes the pilot light. Silly thing to take but dirty ponies buy silly things. She turns at the sound of Sour_Grape's voice. "We didn't search the rest of the building!" Dust_Off leaves the apartment and looks around the top floor.
05:30:53: ammy follows Dust
05:30:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off notes there is another door opened, that leads into another hallway, persumably another apartment flat. Persumably.
05:31:00: Green Sighs and slumps down. "There are millions of buildings."
05:31:05: Sour_Grape "We're never leaving."
05:32:12: Dust_Off remembers they never cleared the building. She draws her .32 revolver and walks through the other open door.
05:33:20: Green inspects the box and tries to break it open with her shovel.
05:33:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, finds another apartment similar to the one they were in before, but it is a dishevled mess of various broken furniture and overturned appliances, like the refrigerator and stove. She does find in the bedroom a unicorn skeleton with more debris from the roof covering it.
05:33:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off also notes there's another mirror in that bathroom that is slightly opened.
05:34:33: Dust_Off frowns. Poor dirty pony. The medic walks to the presumed medicine cabinet and opens it.
05:34:48: Sour_Grape gets annoyed and helps the search by running into the bottom floor ans looking
05:35:22: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green pulls out the ammunition box and slams her shovel into it, but only manages to dent the box slightly as well as put a slight dent in her own shovel (-5% weapon condition)
05:36:23: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to find an ancient tube of toothpaste, an old moldy toothbrush, as well as a bottle of buck and ONE bobby pin.
05:37:44: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape notes there is two doors in each adjacent side, besides the stairs. One door to the left and one to the right.
05:37:57: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The filly is on the first floor.
05:38:02: Green frowns and cuddles her shovel. "Oh poopy."
05:38:03: Sour_Grape chooses right, chaaarge
05:38:28: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape slams into the door, but it doesn't budge in the slightest! Owie!
05:38:46: Sour_Grape grumbles and kicks the door before finally trying to use the handle to open it
05:38:58: Dust_Off shies away from the toothbrush but takes the toothpaste, thinking she might be able to do something with it later, the bottle of Buck, and the bobby pin. The pegasus drops the toothpaste and Buck into her bags and uses the bobby pin pin her forelock back. There much better.
05:38:59: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The handle turns, but the door doesn't move in the slightest!
05:39:28: Sour_Grape takes out her shotgun and tries to shoot the hinges off the door
05:40:51: Dust_Off turns and leaves the bathroom. She peeks in the bedroom to see if there was a closet.
05:41:22: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off finds the remains of a closet, but it too is buried under rubble. Anything of worth is either buried or destroyed.
05:41:24: Green lays the box next to the door and heads inside to find Sour_Grapes
05:41:58: ammy is still tapping her hoof idly in the hallway waiting for Dust Off
05:42:32: Dust_Off sighs and leave the apartment. She walks towards the top of the stairs and stops at the ant corpses. She decides to search for more strange ant parts. Entomology was interesting after all.
05:42:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, pulls out her shotgun as Green trots into the lobby floor. The shotgun goes off and blasts the door, near the hinges, blowing out a chunk of the door and revealing something directly behind the door. It is gray in color like the outside of the building.
05:43:06: Sour_Grape tries again! Die door die
05:43:48: <Green> "Grape? What are you doing?"
05:44:44: Sour_Grape yells, "Opening a door!"
05:45:28: ammy sighs and climbs down the stairs past Dust and heads outside
05:45:37: Dust_Off jumps slightly at the shotgun blast but hears the pegasus filly yelling about doors. Silly Filly.
05:45:40: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off manages to find only bits and pieces of edible ant meat. Sour_Grape takes aim with a vengeance! Damn you door for not opening! She blasts the hinges off, causing it to shudder somewhat, then fall towards the filly, causing her to back up as it lands, revealing a huge amount of debris, that is blocking the way into the room.
05:45:57: Sour_Grape facehoofs
05:46:27: Sour_Grape raises her hoof in distress... causing her to faceplant. "Ghmg, I give up." She scurries to her feet and leaves the building
05:47:34: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy, Smooth-Jazz, and Sour_Grape, are now outside in the street corner, they note they can head back towards the highway, which is where they came from, or continue down the road, persumably towards the source of the ants. Green is on the bottom floor, Dust_Off, is on the top.
05:48:06: Dust_Off looks at the tissue sample she's gathered. Interesting musculature. The pegasus stows those in her bags and wipes her hooves on the carpet. She trots happily sings a mnemonic device she'd learned about anatomy. She heads down to the second floor and looks around.
05:48:07: Smooth-Jazz yawns
05:48:42: Sour_Grape "Alright, we ready?"
05:48:50: Smooth-Jazz nods
05:48:54: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, now on the second floor, notes there are two doors in similar fashion to the third floor as well as the bottom floor.
05:49:43: Green follows Sour_Grapes trail back outside. "What?"
05:49:49: Dust_Off decides its not worth the time. The others are so impatient. She walks all the way down and outside. "You ponies are in such a hurry. The Ants aren't going anywhere. It is a nest."
05:50:15: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group is together now! Huzzah!
05:50:31: Sour_Grape flaps her wings in annoyance, "The sooner we're out of here the better!"
05:50:59: Dust_Off waves a hoof back at the building. "Free stuff! You were the one making a scene about not getting more payment."
05:51:51: Sour_Grape "Free junk." She corrects.
05:52:07: <Green> "Lets get going then, we've got an arrow to follow and daily justice to dispense."
05:52:24: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green notes her pipbuck's arrow is pointing down the street.
05:52:43: Dust_Off snorts. "I got some good medicine, some spices, and this fetching hair accessory." She showed off her bobby pin.
05:53:08: Sour_Grape gasps and grabs the bobby pin and running over to hand it to Smooth-Jazz, "Fix the stupid box!"
05:53:49: Smooth-Jazz chuckles. "Alright, lets take a look..."
05:53:51: Dust_Off gasps. "My mane!"
05:54:10: ammy "I'm sure that ammo box we found useless junk"
05:54:22: ammy she looks at the filly
05:54:49: Sour_Grape flips Ammy with her wing. Or something rude like that
05:55:33: ammy laughs lightly
05:56:11: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz, whips out his screwdriver and uses the bobby pin to try and open the ammunition box. Concentrating, his noze wrinkles in irritation which causes him to sneeze, the bobby pin slips and falls to the ground. Not broken.
05:56:17: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The box remains locked.
05:56:23: Dust_Off smiles. Good the filly knew the instinctive pegasus insult gestures.
05:56:53: Smooth-Jazz rubs his nose. "Whoops, lets try that again..."
05:57:10: Sour_Grape nod nods. "Or else I'm using it as a weapon I swear."
05:58:35: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz attempts one more time to use the bobby pin, however he concentrates too hard and snaps the pin in half!
05:58:47: Smooth-Jazz shrugs. "oh well."
05:58:49: <Green> "Aaw. Well, we tried."
05:58:52: Dust_Off glares at Smooth-Jazz and the broken bobby pin. "Very good, Mister Jazz. My mane curses you."
05:59:04: <Green> "Lets go fight the good fight instead."
05:59:28: <Dust_Off> "With forelocks in our faces...." The pegasus grumps.
06:00:39: Smooth-Jazz shrugs, "What? Not like you need it, doll."
06:01:20: Green points towards their goal and nods for the crew to follow. "Because some things are worth fighting for. Yeaah! Wooh!"
06:01:28: Dust_Off blinks what that a good compliment...or a back hoofed one...
06:01:59: <Dust_Off> "Thank you, Mister Jazz?"
06:02:14: Sour_Grape follows after Green, "yay killing." She smirks
06:02:21: Smooth-Jazz nods
06:02:39: <Green> "Its called saving lives Grape."
06:03:07: Sour_Grape nods at Green, "Oh that's exactly what I meant."
06:03:47: Dust_Off looks back at the box. "Anyone want that?"
06:04:41: <Green> "Not really."
06:05:07: Dust_Off grabs the box and stuffs it into her a bags. MINE.
06:06:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green, Sour_Grape, and Ammy begin to head down the road towards their destination, Leaving Dust_Off and Smooth-jazz trailing behind somewhat as they are flanked by large buildings, all of which look too unstable or broken to enter. As they follow the curve, the notice that the road continues until there is a large pile of debris blocking the road. There is a road that veers to the left, but it is blocked by a carriage bus and more d
06:07:30: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Straight ahead, the road is broken up, with asphalt laying all over the road and sidewalk.
06:07:48: Dust_Off gets down coveting the box and hurries after the rest.
06:07:52: <Dust_Off> (*done)
06:08:20: <Sour_Grape> (bus and more d?)
06:08:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 and more debris.
06:08:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, is near her weight limit, carrying anything else will overburden her.
06:09:00: Sour_Grape "I guess we keep walking straight. How exciting."
06:09:16: Dust_Off frowns this stupid box was heavy.
06:12:36: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, Ammy, Dust_Off, and Smooth-Jazz, all notice the asphalt in front of the debris looks completely off. It almost looks like it's shifting... Sour_Grape and Smooth-Jazz, note that the door to the carriage bus on the left, looks unsecure.
06:12:47: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green is oblivious.
06:13:23: Dust_Off frowns at the debris. "I have a very bad feeling about this...."
06:13:30: Smooth-Jazz nods
06:13:41: Sour_Grape gulps at the ashpalt. "Thats... weird..." She looks over at the bus, "Lets break that door and go around?
06:13:59: Dust_Off nods, "Don't shoot the door this time."
06:14:49: ammy back pedals quickly to get away from the creepy road
06:15:39: Green ignores their cowardly ways and continues <,<
06:16:27: <Dust_Off> "Green...what are you doing?"
06:18:35: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green begins to trot forward getting halfway down the road as the others stay back in caution, before a monstrous browner colored ant bursts out from the shifting asphalt. It is quite larger than the normal ants they've fought previously, and it regards each of them for a moment.
06:19:20: ammy unslings he rifle slowlu
06:19:28: Sour_Grape points at the giant ant, "Look! Dinner!'
06:19:32: <ammy> (slowly*)
06:21:34: Dust_Off draws her revolver. She yells at Green. "Watch out!" She snaps off a shot and then calms her self and takes aim and fires a second.
06:22:35: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Session Paused.
06:22:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 (Dandy_Apple or Arcane_Scroll, if either of you are there, Roy_Calbeck needs voice.)
06:23:12: Dandy_Apple makes herself useful
06:23:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 (Thank you very much!)
06:26:10: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Session Unpaused.
06:26:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck finds himself in the back of the group, his weapon slung. There is a giant oversized ant that is browner in color than the others they had previously fought. He is now on the road with his group.
06:28:13: Roy_Calbeck shakes the sleep out of his eyes and stares at the huge ant. "How the hell did I miss THAT?!"
06:29:24: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, does her signature neck roll and unloads two rounds from her revolver pistol. The bullets ring out and pelt the large ant in the body as well as the left legs, causing it to skree massively, setting the groups nerves on end for a moment.
06:29:58: Sour_Grape grahs at the random giant and and shakes her head, no way she's fighting this early and this sober. She wuickly grabs a mintal from her back, noms it. "So much BETTER" she laughs as her senses go on overload. Taking out her shtgun she lines up an aimed shot.
06:30:27: Dust_Off laughed. "Ahaha! Neck roll, you haven't forsaken me!"
06:31:38: Green gets close to the giant ant and wacks it with her shovel
06:38:06: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape takes aim with her shotgun after popping her mintals, her world bursting with color as her perception and intellect shoot through the roof. She manages to take a large chuck out of the bulbous chitnous plated head of the ant, while Green rushes forward along witht the Ant and swings twice, missing the first strike, but whipping around and landing another massive blow to the head of the ant.
06:40:19: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Ant shakes it's head and lets loose a massive skree that is almost defeaning, then turns and takes a massive bite out of Green's right foreleg, causing incredible pain and injury. (-33 HP), then takes another bite quickly, nearly creating a very nasty gash in the already wounded foreleg. (-28 HP)
06:41:49: Smooth-Jazz steps forward and his horn glows. "Lets dance." He casts Mesmerise
06:42:46: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz gives a wide grin as his horn shimmers brillantly, creating a massive ball of sparkling lights and sound, causing the ant to look up and stare mindlessly at it, freezing it in place.
06:44:02: ammy takes a pricise shot at the beast
06:44:12: Roy_Calbeck whistles appreciatively. "Nice work."
06:45:19: Dust_Off follows the lights for a moment. "Prettyyy..." Before shaking herself.
06:46:45: Sour_Grape "So pretty."
06:46:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy takes careful precision and unloads a round from her rifle. The bullet flies and imbeds itself deep into the right legs of the Ant, causing it to shudder somewhat. it's skreeing is noticibly weaker.
06:48:01: Roy_Calbeck likewise levitates his rifle up and carefully sights down the barrel, aiming precisely for the giant ant's head.
06:50:47: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's shot goes slightly wide as the bullet flies past the Ant's oozing head and flies off into the sky.
06:51:10: <Roy_Calbeck> "Damn!"
06:54:53: Dust_Off cursed Green was hurt but too close to A BIG FREAKING ANT! The pegasus decided it'd be best to deal with the threat and then help the bite spo...victim. She rolls her neck and then takes two aimed shots at the BIG FREAKING ANT.
06:58:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off fires two rounds, the first one flies and smashes into the debris harmlessly, the other impacts into the ant, causing it to shudder and thrash around, letting out a vicious skree, it's massive body pedels forward somewhat and it falls down, nearly crushing Green as she deftly jumps and rolls out of the way and back on her hooves in an impressive display of agility.
06:59:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ant lies motionless, it's head leaking out a great amount of ichor.
06:59:44: Dust_Off flutters into the air. "Give'em the guns indeed!"
07:00:16: <Green> "Au, Au, Au." The mare whimpers and checks her wounded leg, before looking to Dust_Off. "The ant did a number on my leg, can you fix it?"
07:00:36: Sour_Grape runs over and pokes at the ant, "Huzzah! The others must be nearby!"
07:00:42: <Roy_Calbeck> "Nice shot!"
07:01:57: Dust_Off reloads her pistols and holsters it. She goes over to Green, smiling with victory and the prospect of new and interesting entomological wounds. "Yes, let me take a look."
07:03:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off examines the nasty gash, there is a lot of blood leaking out, but she can't precisely determind how deep the cut goes. Green suffers a good amount of pain from it.
07:04:36: <Green> "Boy am I glad we have a healer. That ant really wanted my leg for sure."
07:06:17: Dust_Off looks at the wound and keeps her face impassive. She TOTALLY knew what she was doing. She decides to bandage the wound and give her a health potion. "Would you like any Med-X? That looks painful."
07:07:37: <Green> "Painkiller? Naah, just fix me up."
07:07:38: <Dust_Off> (redact Med-X)
07:07:44: <Dust_Off> (Good)
07:08:11: Sour_Grape wants a med-x
07:10:02: Roy_Calbeck trots over to Green and Dusty, inhaling sharply at sight of the wound. "That's pretty bad..."
07:10:38: <Green> "Beats getting shot in the ass."
07:10:50: Sour_Grape uses her new found PER to see if she can figure out where the ant base is from here. Given the large ant it had to be close
07:11:33: Roy_Calbeck frowns. "So you don't need any healing potions for that?"
07:12:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The entire group notices that there is now a massive hole, caused from the Ant's sudden apperance, The hole is deep and dark, leading down into the Ground. Sour_Grape remembers in her supra-clarity that the door still remained at the carriage bus, still looking unsecure.
07:12:58: Sour_Grape turns around and runs over to the carragie door. Charge!
07:13:40: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off uses the bandages to mend the wounds on Green's right forelegs, then administers a healing potion to her, restoring her vitality. (+47 HP recovered)
07:14:21: Smooth-Jazz looks over the side of the hole. "...yodelaiheehoo..."
07:14:53: Green tests her leg
07:14:57: Dust_Off finishes tying off the bandages. "There. That should do. Try not to find anymore large...darn...ants."
07:15:47: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape rams the door and it shudders noticibly at her hit. But it doesn't open. She notes in her state that it would appear the door could open by simply pulling it back towards her, the frame is jammed at an angle and will not fall backwards.
07:16:00: Green grins back at Dust Off "It was neat, did you see how big it was? Well it was cooler up front."
07:16:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 (forward I mean)
07:17:06: Dust_Off smiles at the crazy pony. "I'm sure it was. I'm going to look at it now, but I prefer them when they're dead." The pegasus mare prances towards the corpse. Entomology!
07:17:14: Sour_Grape opens the door
07:18:23: Roy_Calbeck goes to follow Sour and see what's up with that carriage.
07:18:47: Green follows Roy to see whats up with the carriage.
07:18:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, finds two large pieces of edible meat from the corpse as well as a nectar gland deep in the Ant's bulbous head, now slick from it's ichor. Fascinating, what uses could this nectar bring? Sour_Grape opens the door to the carriage and sitting on a seat near the front is a Holotape. There are a couple of corpses of ponies as well
07:20:00: Dust_Off squees. More tissue samples! And a nectar gland! Yes, yes, and yes! These insects were the only thing worthy while in this muddy hell.
07:20:14: <Dust_Off> The pegasus puts them into her bags.
07:21:29: Sour_Grape grabs the holotape before searching the corpses
07:22:11: Roy_Calbeck follows into the vehicle.
07:22:11: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Inside the bus there is a box with a faded symbol of three butterflies, as well as corpse with faded green combat barding in good condition and a Markspony rifle in average condition.
07:22:34: Smooth-Jazz stays outside and looks around
07:23:06: Green checks out the combat barding, inspecting it thoroughly.
07:23:13: <Dust_Off> She sighs. Stupid heavy box. Stupid Mister Jazz breaking her bobby pin. She digs the box out of her bags and throws it on the ground. Entomological pursuits were SO much more important. Though...Dust_Off looks at the box. She draws her pistol, might as well give it a try. She decides to take a shot at the lock.
07:23:52: Sour_Grape grabs the conbat barding (too big D:) and the rifle, before looking through the med box. "pleasbemintalspleasebemintals
07:24:16: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Three skeletal remains sit in various seats.
07:24:38: Roy_Calbeck grins. "Not gonna take the barding?"
07:25:01: Roy_Calbeck examines the other corpses.
07:25:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape opens the box and finds two healing potions, as well as one roll of magical medical bandages, three bobby pins and a tin of mintals.
07:26:05: ammy is looking through the open door at the bus "How do you think he went bit of a starnge position to die in"
07:26:09: Sour_Grape gleeeeeees at the mintals and shoves them into her bag giggling like mad, "Hey healer and lock picker, I got some good stuff." though she takes 1 healing potion for herself
07:26:28: Smooth-Jazz pokes his head through the door. "mm?"
07:26:41: Sour_Grape throws three bobby pins at Smooth-Jazz
07:26:49: Dust_Off is contemplating, really wanting to shoot the lock on the box.
07:27:06: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck searches the three skeletal corpses and finds 23 pre-war bits and sixteen rifle rounds.
07:27:08: <Dust_Off> "What, dear?"
07:27:17: Smooth-Jazz catches them. "Thanks." He heads over to Dust_Off and levitates one to her. "Don't think you need it, but here."
07:27:25: <Roy_Calbeck> "Heh, not bad."
07:27:27: <Smooth-Jazz> (One bobbypin)
07:28:02: Sour_Grape skips over to dust off aboslutely giddy and drops a healing potion and bandage roll, "For you. Keep the lock pick, we can't do nothin"
07:28:20: ammy looks around at her surroundings keeping guard outside
07:28:40: Dust_Off smiles up at Smooth-Jazz. "Aww, thank you very much, Mister Jazz. That is very kind." She takes it to put in her hair later. She drops the potion, pin, and bandages into her bags
07:28:51: Roy_Calbeck follows Sour back out of the vehicle. "Hey, wanna trade for that barding?"
07:29:26: <Sour_Grape> (ignore the lockpink reply I misread)
07:29:36: Sour_Grape "Trade for wha?" she dumps the armour before him
07:29:59: Smooth-Jazz levitates the other two. "No problem." He looks at the box. "Anyone want me to take another crack at that old jukebox?"
07:30:17: Roy_Calbeck pulls out a Magi-Pistol in decent enough condition. "That plus twenty-three bits."
07:30:51: Sour_Grape shakes her head, "Can't use that fancy stuff, but if you have ammo I got this new rifle but no rounds
07:30:52: <Roy_Calbeck> "Also I found some rounds that I think'll work for that rifle you just picked up."
07:31:11: Sour_Grape "Actually. Pistol, and rounds and 10 caps
07:31:33: Roy_Calbeck floats out the ammo for Sour's inspection.
07:31:48: Sour_Grape checks the ammo and licks her lips, "So deal?"
07:31:55: <Roy_Calbeck> "Sure!"
07:32:18: ammy decides to finally mix and match her 2 rifles to increase her good rifle's condition
07:32:32: Sour_Grape takes her stuff and hands over the barding
07:32:42: Roy_Calbeck glees visibly.
07:33:51: Green checks under the seats of the buss and the luggage compartement to see if maybe Sour missed something in the buss.
07:33:52: Sour_Grape trots over to Dust_Off and throws the pistol at her hooves. "Teach me to fly, and it's yours."
07:34:09: Roy_Calbeck works himself out of his current security barding, dusts off the combat armor, and wriggles into it with a little horn-levitation assistance along the way.
07:35:06: Dust_Off looks over at Sour_Grape and the magi-pistol. Her eyes widen. "Deal, Grape."
07:35:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off fires off a round at the locked ammo box but the bullet ricochets off and hits the sidewalk.
07:35:36: Sour_Grape grins before FINALLY trotting over to Green and handing him the holotape, "Your pipbuck, can it play this?"
07:36:03: Smooth-Jazz chuckles at Dust_Off's attempt. "Want me to try with the pins again?"
07:36:06: <Sour_Grape> her*
07:36:06: Dust_Off jumps back and look balefully at the box. "Well played, box...well played..."
07:36:59: Dust_Off looks at Smooth-Jazz. "If you like, I'm getting too old for this shit." She reloads her revolver and holsters it. She picks up the magipistol and looks at it.
07:37:03: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green manages to locate eight shotgun shells under one of the seats, as well as three more rifle rounds for the markspony rifle.
07:37:22: Smooth-Jazz whips out his screwdriver and gets to work on the box
07:37:25: Sour_Grape beats, "Because if it can I'll trade you for that ammo."
07:37:52: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz, uses one of his bobby pins to try and unlock the box, but it snaps under his attempt.
07:38:14: Green stuffs the ammo in her saddlebags and looks at the filly. "Uh, i can't play mine. Dunno, it might be a pipbuck addon or something that lets me play them, but havent found much technology anywhere."
07:38:17: Smooth-Jazz grumbles. "This is my last pin. If anyone wants it, speak now."
07:38:41: ammy lays her 2 rifles on the road outside and starts unpiecing both and comparing the state of each part
07:38:46: Sour_Grape gues watery eyed, "But I really needed the ammo, are you sure?"
07:39:54: Smooth-Jazz "No?"
07:41:00: Dust_Off looks at Smooth-Jazz. "I'll give you mine back. If you like."
07:41:01: Smooth-Jazz "...alright." he tries one more time on the box. "C'mon...."
07:41:06: Green sticks out her tongue at Sour_Grape, "If you wanted the ammo, you could just ask for it."
07:41:16: Smooth-Jazz looks up at Dust_Off. "Nah, its alright."
07:41:18: Sour_Grape "Can I have the ammo pretty please?"
07:41:26: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 From the constant use of wear and tear, all weapons used since the past three previous battles, have suffered a -10% drop in their condition.
07:41:27: Smooth-Jazz gets to work on the box
07:42:24: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz, attempts again, but the bobby pin slips from his grasp.
07:42:41: Smooth-Jazz hmms in frustration. "One more time."
07:42:44: Smooth-Jazz tries again
07:43:27: <Dust_Off> A full charge! The pegasus smiles and throws her police pistol into her bags. She holsters her magi-pistol. Huh. Funny. A holster for a revolver fits a magipistol. That is some kind of ingenious tailoring. She takes out her 10mm pistol and reloads it with the rounds she got from Mister Jazz. She then puts that back in bags.
07:43:48: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz, breaks the bobby pin this time, the box remains adamantly locked. At this point it might better serve as a paperweight.
07:44:08: Smooth-Jazz sighs. "Welp, that's annoying. Oh well."
07:44:28: Roy_Calbeck , having finally gotten into his new armor, trots over to where Jazz is feeding bobby pins to a box. "How goes it?"
07:44:57: Smooth-Jazz "It goes badly."
07:45:01: Green gives her shotgun ammo to Sour_Grape. "Here."
07:45:35: Sour_Grape smiles, "Rifle ammo too? I got a new gun." She gives her sweetest smile
07:45:36: Dust_Off nods along with Smooth-Jazz. "That box is impenetrable. We should use it as a shield."
07:45:43: Roy_Calbeck helpfully taps the lock with a hoof.
07:45:51: ammy is still repairing her rifle outside
07:48:04: <CeilingMihara> #FalloutEquestriaDice
07:48:15: Green looks at the filly and then to the others. "Hmm? Rifle-ammo too? Kinda wanted to share my stuff with everypony and not just you."
07:48:34: Sour_Grape "No other pony uses that type of ammo..."
07:49:58: Green sighs. "Well, can i have the rifle then? You already have plenty of weapons."
07:50:10: Roy_Calbeck looks at Dusty. "Want me to try shooting the lock off?"
07:51:02: ammy is finalising her repairs on the rifle
07:51:18: Sour_Grape gasps and holds her new rifle tight, "No way. Not for free." She huffs and walks off fiddling with the holodisk trying to use her super INT and PER to get it to work
07:51:26: Dust_Off looks at the unicorn. "You are more than welcome, Mister Calbeck. Perhaps your rifle would do the trick."
07:52:12: <Green> "Sour? Thats not very nice. I only have my shovel, if i had something ranged I might not have to get bitten in every fight."
07:52:15: Roy_Calbeck levitates his rifle back up, stepping back a few paces to use the scope properly. "I'd get back a bit folks, just in case..."
07:52:43: Dust_Off clears away from the magic box of invulnerability
07:52:50: Sour_Grape "I ain't giving it away for free Green." She continues to fiddle with her holotape, it has to work somehow
07:53:14: Smooth-Jazz steps back
07:53:47: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape notes that the pipbuck has a small connection plug that matches a small port on the holotape.
07:53:53: Dust_Off looks at Green and Sour_Grape. "Grape, how about you loan it to her? Until we get to a merchant? It would be useful."
07:54:19: <Dust_Off> "She could rent it from you."
07:55:12: Sour_Grape sighs dramatically, "Fiiiiine." She hands green the rifle and ammo before being silly and connection the holotape to Green's pipbuck and pressing play
07:56:43: Green watches as the filly connects the holotape and plays it.
07:57:51: Dust_Off goes to listen to the holotape. She circles around behind Green to put the dirty pony between her and the soon to be shot box.
07:58:20: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pipbuck that Green has makes audible beeping noises, then displays, "Data recieved. Label: 'Overmares emergency passage code' "
07:58:47: <Green> "Huh, didn't know it did that."
07:58:51: Sour_Grape blinks, "Oh. It's a password. Must be a stable nearby. Might be good loot and or ants in there.
07:58:55: Green fiddles with the file.
07:59:52: Sour_Grape "Check your pointery thing Green, to the ants!"
07:59:59: Roy_Calbeck sights in on the lock and carefully takes his shot.
08:00:24: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The pipbuck's speaker's click and a heavy breathing voice can be heard, as hoofsteps seem to echo as well. There's suddenly a sharp feminine scream, and a skreeing noise, then the sounds of scuffling and biting can be heard followed by a cry of pain. Soon there's a grunt and the hoofsteps continue, followed by ragged breathing.
08:00:24: Dust_Off looks at Green and the filly. "That wasn't the ant?"
08:01:07: Green realises the situation they were in. "Still haven't found their hive."
08:01:08: Dust_Off grimaces at the sounds.
08:01:57: Sour_Grape grin, "Lets go then!"
08:02:33: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The speakers continue with the hoofsteps' sound changing from echoing into the same type of noise created on asphalt, followed by a metallic screeching sound and a slam. The steps sound like metallic ringing then there's a soft thumping sound, with the breathing going from ragged to erratic. After a minute the breathing stops alltogether and there is only silence, followed by a click, the audio is over.
08:02:54: <Green> "uh. Thats not a passcode."
08:03:14: Green shrugs and points the way to their goal. The pipbuck arrow!
08:03:27: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The passcode is displayed visually: "Butterflies"
08:04:02: Dust_Off frowns. "Sound like her last few minutes..."
08:04:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The arrow on the pipbuck points towards the hole created by the ant.
08:05:23: <Green> "Well, looks like we found the entrance at least."
08:05:27: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, takes careful precise aim and finally manages to shoot the lock apart on the ammunition box, causing the box to shake around for a moment.
08:05:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Pesky ammo box!
08:05:38: <Roy_Calbeck> "Hah!"
08:06:31: Dust_Off turns around and looks at the ammo box. "Mister Calbeck! Did you do it?"
08:07:14: Roy_Calbeck checks and tops off his rifle's magazine. "Eeeyup."
08:07:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Inside the ammo box has curiously two different types of ammo, mixed around are six .308 rounds, and thirty one .32 rounds.
08:07:56: <Roy_Calbeck> "Dibs on that three-oh-eight."
08:08:28: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Under the dented box's lid is another strange faded insigna. Alas the insignia is too faded to decipher! How Mysterious!
08:08:56: Dust_Off creeps up on the box and cocks her head. "All that for....oh COME ON!" She yells seeing the insignia.
08:09:00: Roy_Calbeck peers closely (and dubiously) at the insignia.
08:09:35: Sour_Grape face hoofs and walks over to the ant and hole, "Hey. Hey guys. Are we going in?"
08:09:45: Roy_Calbeck stows the .308 rounds in his saddlebag.
08:09:56: Dust_Off takes the .32 rounds.
08:10:16: Roy_Calbeck looks around. "Yeah, sure, be right there..."
08:10:36: Dust_Off glares at the insignia. "This is insufferable." She turns and kicks the can.
08:10:40: Green pushes Sour_Grape back and jumps in first. "Alright, it is time to fight the good fight."
08:11:16: Sour_Grape acks and jumps after green flapping her wings
08:11:19: ammy was outside all along and she walks over to the hole and looks to see the safest way down
08:11:54: Dust_Off flutters her wings and follows the group into the hole, grumblings. "Why must it be underground...."
08:11:54: Roy_Calbeck shakes his head and gallops up to the hole.
08:12:40: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group notices the hole slants noticeably, with careful hoof-work they could safely traverse down the angled hole.
08:12:54: ammy "I'll go first"
08:12:58: Sour_Grape "It'sa stable... wouldn't protect much if it was aboveground"
08:13:29: ammy begins to climb down into the hole
08:14:49: Dust_Off looks at the hole. It was steep...to dirt ponies. She smiles and jumps off the edge and spreads her wings, gliding down.
08:15:42: <Dust_Off> "Look upon me! For I. Am. Flying!"
08:15:45: Roy_Calbeck makes his way down, muttering, "It doesn't look very saaaafe..."
08:15:49: Sour_Grape watches Dust_Off with longing
08:17:28: Green turns on the pipbuck light mechanism and shouts down the tunnel. "Anypony down there? Hello?"
08:17:53: Roy_Calbeck winces at Green...
08:18:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 As Dust_Off, glides down majestically like a green feather, Roy_Calbeck, Sour_Grape, and Green, manage to carefully take their time and go down the slanted hole safely. Smooth-Jazz and Ammy, slip as they traverse down the hole, but manage to only stumble somewhat, and fall clumsily down on the ground with the group, hurting only their pride.
08:19:06: Roy_Calbeck gives Jazz and Ammy a look of concern. "You two okay?"
08:19:43: Smooth-Jazz stand back up and checks his intrument. After seeing its a-okay, he says "Fine like a summer breeze."
08:20:01: Sour_Grape trots forward confidenly into the hole, secure that her mint-als enhanced PER will alert her to any problems
08:20:25: ammy nods, the fall feeling extra glorious on her already aching body
08:21:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 There is very very little light, even with her supra-clarity, Sour_Grape can barely see whats in front of her. From what the group can manage to see, the huge tunnel which is smooth in it's walls, leads down into blackness, Sour_Grape can only make out the walls on the sides, and notices they seem to be angling to the right.
08:21:35: Dust_Off lands light as a feather, a green one. She has a broad smile on her face. She flaps her wings before settling him against her leather-clad sides.
08:21:36: Roy_Calbeck nods and follows the rest of the party into the hole at a bit of a distance.
08:22:32: <Dust_Off> (*settling them...or him. Her wings are named Angle of Attack)
08:22:55: Dust_Off looks around the dark hole. This was bad idea....she bites her lip.
08:22:56: Sour_Grape starts to turn right with the cave
08:22:59: Green trots after Sour_Grape, to get in the front. "You're not the bait. Silly filly."
08:23:26: Roy_Calbeck flares his horn into light. "There we go."
08:23:53: Sour_Grape chuckles, "I'm the best bait."
08:24:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group continues through the darkened tunnels, going further and following Sour_Grape and Green who are in the lead with her supra clarity and pipbuck light and Roy_Calbeck's light providing a fair amount of light, giving better vision.
08:24:30: Roy_Calbeck chuckles. "If anything eats Sour, she can just shoot her way out.
08:24:52: Sour_Grape "I'm inedible, they'd be grossed out. Haven't bathed in five years"
08:25:00: Dust_Off edges very close to Roy_Calbeck.
08:25:03: <Green> "Eeew."
08:25:08: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, begins to feel incredibly nervous in the darkened environment, her claustrophobia kicking into full gear, the poor lighting giving no sense of security.
08:25:22: ammy "You know I used to hear these stories about these 4 legged mutant plant things that sneak up beind ponies in the underground and explode"
08:25:22: Roy_Calbeck grins. "That just means you're SPICY."
08:25:30: <Green> "Here, chicky chicky chicky. Bawk Bawk baaawk!"
08:25:46: Roy_Calbeck blinks, turning his head to Dusty. "You okay?"
08:25:51: Sour_Grape "I'm not a chicken!":
08:26:07: <Green> "Not calling for you, I'm calling for ants."
08:26:37: Smooth-Jazz "Ants aren't chickens."
08:26:40: Dust_Off is quiet and bites her lip, staying near the unicorn and his lit horn. "I'm..." She chews in her lip. "I'm fine."
08:26:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape can see the tunnel leads into a larger more open area, the sounds of skittering can be heard.. lots of skittering. The light from both sources barely can reveal some of the room
08:26:54: <Dust_Off> "Alright, I'm not."
08:27:07: Sour_Grape "Get alright, baddies are coming."
08:27:23: Roy_Calbeck peers closely at Dusty, then gives a nod. "Okay. Let's do this."
08:28:14: Smooth-Jazz trots alongside Dust_Off and whispers. "Claustrophobic?"
08:28:41: ammy "You'd think the idiots that asked us to do this would have given us explosives or something"
08:28:43: Dust_Off draws her magi-pistol. Oh sweet Luna of beam weapons, don't fail me now. She glances at Smooth-Jazz and nods a little.
08:29:08: Smooth-Jazz chuckles and gives Dust_Off some space. "I can dig it."
08:29:17: Green hums a happy childrens song while checking EFS for red dots.
08:29:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Revealing more light as they edge closer to the small tunnel ledge, Sour_Grape and Green spots four regular sized mutant ants, coming towards their location, along with two more of those much larger browner ants. The browner ants are further to the back, but are much faster than the regular ants, closing ground.
08:29:45: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green notes there are Seven red dots directly ahead.
08:30:22: Sour_Grape eyes goes wide and she takes a step back, "This... is going to suck."
08:30:48: <Green> "Theres a lot of stuff, but we've got a fairly small entrance. Just get behind me, we do this like we did the big one."
08:31:11: Dust_Off has full intention to let Green be in front.
08:33:45: Smooth-Jazz 's horn lights up. "I got a smokescreen ready."
08:34:07: <Green> "Ants have feelers, they don't need to see."
08:34:29: Roy_Calbeck levitates his rifle up and starts picking out targets in the darkness beyond the scope.
08:34:43: <Roy_Calbeck> "So let's take those feelers OFF."
08:34:43: Smooth-Jazz changes spell
08:36:16: Dust_Off grimaces. "They don't don't feel at distance...."
08:36:16: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The group is currently on a lip of a small ledge in a smaller tunnel to the large open area. Sour_Grape and Green are out in front at the very edge. Dust_Off is behind Sour_Grape and slightly to the right, Roy_Calbeck is further back behind the three along wtih Ammy, Smooth-Jazz is in the back completely.
08:36:50: Sour_Grape holds off and waits
08:37:00: <Roy_Calbeck> "No, but I hear they go bonkers if you take their feelers out... might get 'em to start on one another."
08:37:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ants are approximately 65 yards away from the group.
08:38:19: Dust_Off whimpers. "Those are antenna...not feelers..." Even frightened she was still an entomological know it all.
08:39:00: <Roy_Calbeck> "Whatever!"
08:41:25: Dust_Off grit her teeth. She had Luna of Magical Beam Weapons with her. She had her neck roll. She had to do this...or they were going to end up pony tissue samples....Dusty cracked and rolled her neck. She took one aimed shot and then snaps off another quickly at the lead BIG FREAKING ANT.
08:47:34: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, takes a precise shot with her newly aquired "merlin" magi-pistol and fires off two beams of magical red destruction, one beam nails the lead big ant in the body, the other in the right legs, causing a strange burning smell.
08:49:06: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The big ants are much closer to the group now, they are both in ahead of the smaller ants, their massive frames only will allow only one other ant to squeeze in between them, their mandibles open and shut audibly with loud ominous clicking.
08:49:12: Dust_Off squeals! "Thank you, oh thank you, Luna and Murtaugh both!"
08:50:38: Roy_Calbeck gives Dusty a look. "Who's 'Murtog'?"
08:51:32: Green positions her so as to take the brunt of the attacks and readies herself for the ants attacks
08:52:13: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The small ants rush as fast as their six legs allow them too, not as quick though as their much larger cousins, though they do not trail off far behind.
08:53:17: Dust_Off looks back at Roy_Calbeck. "Murtaugh, Murtaugh? You don't know who he /is/?" She gapes
08:53:48: Roy_Calbeck peers through his scope at the big wounded ant. "Never heard of 'im."
08:54:07: <Roy_Calbeck> "Think I can nail that --- ANTENNA..."
08:55:12: Dust_Off shakes her head. "The Murtaugh the Elder is the greatest of Royal Guard of old."
08:57:05: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck's rifle round lets loose at his precise aim and manages to break off a large chunk of the wounded big ant's antannae, causing it to stop momentarily and shake it's head, but it continues forward.
08:58:20: <Roy_Calbeck> "Damn. Well, good to know, I suppose."
08:58:47: Smooth-Jazz 's horn lights up. He casts Mesmerise on two ants
08:59:03: Roy_Calbeck seems far more interested in taking that antenna off than he does in hearing about old dead palace guards.
08:59:31: Dust_Off nods to Roy_Calbeck. "Good hit, Mister...Mister Calbeck."
09:00:19: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz's horn flares up brillantly, causing the entire room to light up in immense light, as well as loud echoing sounds. The two big ants in the lead stop and stare up at the ball of distraction, becoming immobile. As the large area lights up, the group can see there are two other tunnels, as well as clutches of ant eggs.
09:00:31: <Roy_Calbeck> "Thanks, but we need that thing OFF."
09:01:13: Dust_Off perks up a little. "Eggs...this is the nest."
09:01:18: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The ant eggs surround the room, at the far back inbetween the other tunnels is a MASSIVELY HUGE Ant, with an enormous bulbous thorax, it turns and looks at the group's direction, scuttling towards them ever so slowly.
09:01:37: <Roy_Calbeck> "Oh... BUCK ME."
09:01:54: <Dust_Off> The pegasus mare whimpers at the sight of the HUMONGOUS MOTHERBUCKING ANT.
09:02:52: Green lets out an adrenaline filled howl of exitement and joy.
09:03:15: Sour_Grape gulps and shakes as the hoard charges towards her. She's not scare.. not at all.
09:03:34: Roy_Calbeck gives Green a patented Dubious Peer. "That filly ain't right."
09:04:08: Sour_Grape closes her eyes and gulps as she takes a percise shot, followed by a regular one
09:09:15: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape unloads two blasts from her shotgun, pelting the wounded big ant that was in the lead twice in the right legs, taking large chunks out of them, but not completely destroying them. Letting out a mighty skree that is amplified through the tunnels, he rushes forward again.
09:11:41: Green continues to stand her ground, awaiting the time when the ants truly close the gap
09:11:48: Sour_Grape does not hold back and quickly reloads and fires twice more at the main ant. "Die bitch!"
09:15:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape deftly reloads her double-barrelled shotgun and unloads two more hellish blasts of peppered filly fury, pelting the large wounded ant in the body, causing it to skree once more.
09:15:24: <Sour_Grape> "Just die"
09:17:11: ammy unloads a her last pricise shot and reloads her rifle quickly after
09:17:29: ammy at the big momma
09:20:41: Roy_Calbeck snaps his head around to Jazz. "Are you up for dazing those bastards again?"
09:21:10: SilentBrony|GM Ammy takes a precise shot at the biggest ant, that was very far back, and only still somewhat visible from Smooth-Jazz's fading mesmerize spell, that was fading quickly and dimming the area again. She shakes somewhat at their predicament and fires her gun, the bullet whizzes right by Green's head, barely missing her.
09:21:19: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The bullet hits the wall
09:21:33: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 (so much tavern rp, force of habit)
09:21:34: <Roy_Calbeck> *pyang!*
09:21:41: Smooth-Jazz nods. "Depends which ones! won't fall for the same trick twice!"
09:22:00: <Roy_Calbeck> "Try for the momma!"
09:22:40: Smooth-Jazz nods and charges up his spell.
09:25:46: Dust_Off chatters her teeth on her Merlin's grip. They were going to die down in this hole...in the dark...no, she had to keep going. She had to. She took one aimed shot and then backs up to be near Calbeck and Ammy. She wasn't a Scootaloo. She wasn't...was she?
09:30:11: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, backs up as she takes her aimed shot, unfortunately her phobia made her aim very jittery as she fires, the beam goes right by Sour_Grape's head in a brilliant flash and hits one of the tunnel walls.
09:31:18: Sour_Grape squeaks and jumps her heart racing in her chest
09:32:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The lead wounded big ant rushes forward and bites twice at Sour_Grape, completely missing by a wide margin the first strike, lulling the filly in a momentary sense of false security by his wide attack, then takes advantage of her overconfidence, biting her right foreleg, causing trauma and pain. (-29 HP)
09:33:07: Dust_Off whimpers, trying to hide behind her forelock...it wasn't long enough.
09:35:52: Sour_Grape cries out in pain and tears up a tiny bit
09:36:07: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The other big ant who is unharmed, rushes up and bites at Green, but she successfully parries the first bite with her shovel, unfortunately the ant lunges once more and gets a clamp on her right foreleg, tearing at flesh. (-22HP)
09:36:54: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Only one small ant manages to get within range and bites at Sour_Grape, but misses her completely.
09:39:30: Green is spurred on by the notion of protecting Sour_Grape and turns to finish off the wounded large ant with one blow
09:42:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green becomes a little overzealous in her frenzy to protect Sour_Grape, as she whips the shovel back to far and smacks the filly with the edge of the Shovel to her chest, causing pain and injury.
09:44:15: Sour_Grape is suddenly hit and cries out in more pain, but does her best to be strong and not freak out from pain and fear
09:44:21: <Roy_Calbeck> "Ammy! Get that big one's antenna!"
09:44:37: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz's mesmerize spell fades, reducing the room to it's original darkness.
09:45:25: Smooth-Jazz blasts another Mesmerize at the biggest ants that will be effected. IE, the queen and any other ant
09:45:38: Dust_Off whimpers. "can'tseethemthey'reeverywhereohlunaohlunaohluna."
09:46:33: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth-Jazz's mesmerize spell flares brillantly in the room once more, the big ants do not seem to care for the ball of light, but the closest small ant in range of Green and Sour_Grape is dazed, along with one that is directly behind it.
09:49:18: ammy takes a pricise shot at the base of the big ones antenna
09:50:11: Dust_Off tries to get a hold of herself and calm her breating.
09:50:18: <Dust_Off> Light makes things better
09:55:29: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy takes better aim this time, getting her bearings and unleashing a shot that goes right through the base of the wounded big ant's already damaged antannae. The rest of it falls off in a shower of gore and it causes the creature to Skree and thrash around in a frenzy, it's head smashes into the side of the tunnel wall.
09:56:18: Roy_Calbeck inhales, aligns his rifle just so, and begins to sight through his scope. The unicorn buck mutters a prayer on the slow, slow exhalation, telekinetically squeezing the trigger: "Celestia is my Empress, I shall not want. She leadeth me beside the Exodus River for Her sake, She bringeth me to green pastures for Her glory, I shall take no other in Her stead. I shall dwell for
09:56:18: Roy_Calbeck ever and ever in Equestria..." A single .308 round blasts forth on its trajectory for the antennae of the as-yet unharmed HUGE FUCKING ANT.
09:56:24: Smooth-Jazz pulls out his SMG. "I'm going to be bril-"
09:56:28: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Theres a slight shake that causes rocks to crumble down until a large chunk falls down and lands ontop of Smooth-Jazz's head, rendering him unconscious.
09:56:49: Smooth-Jazz blehs and is now out of it.
09:57:46: Roy_Calbeck grimaces. "Apparently Celestia is rooting for the other side right now."
09:58:27: Dust_Off squeals. "Mister Jazz!"
09:58:29: Sour_Grape is in temendous pain
09:59:35: <Roy_Calbeck> "Fall back! Everypony fall back! Let 'em fight amongst themselves!"
10:00:05: Roy_Calbeck uses his remaining AP to nip at Jazz's tux and start tugging him away.
10:00:23: ammy picks up sour and hoofs it back into the tunnel with the others
10:00:41: <Sour_Grape> (what?)\
10:01:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, fires his careful shot, but the bullet just whizzes inbetween the antannae of the uninjured ant harmlessly, and smashes into the wall.
10:02:06: Sour_Grape disregards pain and reloads shooting wildly at the ants
10:08:40: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape in her wild shooting, manages to clip Green with a load of buckshot, that somehow misses the assailing ants, her second wild shot however pelts the uninjured ant in the head, causing it to Skree in pain.
10:11:35: Dust_Off gets a hold of her self. She had to. None of these dirt ponies knew a proper Fortifying Slap. She'd have to do everything. She takes a breath and fires a quick normal shot before remember to roll her neck and take an aimed shot.
10:14:36: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off's first shot goes very wide and misses completetly, her beam fizzles against the tunnel walls. Her other beam scorches the legs of the now injured big ant.
10:15:31: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The heavily injured turns around suddenly and bites at one of the smaller ants behind it, apparently angry at being touched by them. It bites twice but only manages to bite the head of one of the smaller ants, causing it to skree back in pain and turn its attention to the big ant.
10:17:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The other slightly injured big ant bites at Green again twice, missing the first chomp, the other being deflected once more by the shovel, the poor thing taking some ambuse.
10:18:56: <Roy_Calbeck> *spang!*
10:19:04: Green turns at the slightly injured ant and unleashes a deadly assault
10:29:53: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green unleashes a savage attack with her shovel in a twirl, the shovel misses the large ant completety, but the twirling smacks Sour_Grape on the back, rather painfully, causing further injury. Stopping her twirl, she pulls back and releasesa a mighty wallop to the slightly injured big ant's head.
10:30:50: Sour_Grape cries out in pain and tears start streaming down her cheeks from pain and fear
10:32:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 One of the small ants behind the big ants turns to attack what it percieves as a new threat, biting the big heavily wounded ant viciously, causing the big ant to skree, though it's cries are becoming weaker.
10:33:33: Roy_Calbeck takes advantage of the big ant's distraction to charge over to Sour and hoof her a healing potion.
10:34:55: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Othelo is revitalized by Roy splashing the healing potion over her various wounds, sealing up some of them and restoring her vitality.
10:35:07: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape yeesh, silly GM.
10:35:36: <Roy_Calbeck> "There ya go... hang in there!"
10:36:00: Roy_Calbeck adds a second for good measure.
10:36:12: Sour_Grape takes it greedily but doesn't stop crying, the pain and fear being a bit much given how everything was dark and trying to murder her
10:36:29: Roy_Calbeck still has his horn light on.
10:37:02: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, pours another potion on the injured filly. Hallelujah it's raining health!
10:38:26: Sour_Grape stands up straighter feeling stronger. Thes eants. were going to pay.
10:38:50: Roy_Calbeck stands by the filly, glaring at the ants.
10:39:21: Sour_Grape smiles up at Roy_Calbeck. Her hero. Swoon.
10:39:51: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck has shifted his position next to Sour_Grape, he is now within melee range of the three ants, acting as a type of barrier before the horde.
10:39:55: Roy_Calbeck chuckles and grins back.
10:44:27: ammy takes a pricision shot at the base of the non frenzied ant's antenna
10:46:39: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy succesffuly manages to blow apart a piece of the lesser injured big ant's antannae off, the creature shakes it's head in a similar manner to the first one, but it is still determined to make lunch out of ponies and equines.
10:48:16: Sour_Grape stands up straight and tall next to her hero ang glares at the ants with the full fore of her filly might. Reloading she takes two shots at the ant not attacking other ants
10:50:06: Roy_Calbeck looks sideways at Sour. "Perhaps we should back up just a bit?"
10:52:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, reloads quickly and fires two blasts of fury again, unfortunately, only one of the blasts manages to impact agains the body of the lesser injured big ant, it's skrees are becoming weaker now as well.
10:52:43: Sour_Grape beams up at Roy_Calbeck determined to seem brave, "I'm not scared:
10:53:32: Roy_Calbeck reaches a hoof up to tousle the filly's mane. "Never thought you were."
10:55:53: Dust_Off had watched as she cowered how Roy_Calbeck had run to Sour_Grape's side. That should have been her. She should have done that. She had to fight. She stood up and tossed her head to get her forelock out of the way. She couldn't hide. She rolls her neck takes an aimed shot and then a quick shot after that at the lesser injured big ant.
10:58:20: Sour_Grape might be blushing at the tousle but how can you tell in the grim darkness of the evil dicebots underground lair
10:58:30: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off takes careful aim and unleashes two beams of death at the slightly lesser wounded big ant. The first beam pelts the creature in it's body, the other nails it dead on in the head as it thrashes. Once the last beam connects, the creature freezes in place and glows bright red to almost white, then seems to melt into a large puddle of ash.
10:58:38: Roy_Calbeck whoops!
10:58:57: Dust_Off whimpers. "...my tissue samples..."
10:58:59: <Roy_Calbeck> "WAHOO!"
10:59:02: Sour_Grape eyes go wide, "That was cool!" She now regrets giving it away
11:00:06: ammy "Nice one pony"
11:00:46: Dust_Off smiles a little. "woohoo~"
11:00:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The heavily wounded big ant, continues in it's frenzy and chomps down on the same small ant it bit before twice, the first bite snaps off it's right limbs clean in half, the last bite severes the head off completetly, causing a heavy thud as it lands on the ground.
11:01:50: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Smooth Jazz's spell fades completely, causing darkness once more.
11:02:24: Green unleashes another flurry of blows on one of the smaller ants. Diving in headfirst in a sweeping strike.
11:03:53: Dust_Off meeps and brushes her forelock back down.
11:04:35: Roy_Calbeck looks down at Sour. "You gonna be okay if I head back over to Dusty?"
11:05:02: Sour_Grape looks a little sad at Roy_Calbeck abonding her
11:05:05: <Sour_Grape> abandoning
11:05:45: Roy_Calbeck shakes his head and chuckles again. "I take it that's a 'no'. It's okay, I'll stay with you."
11:06:01: Green roars in reckless abadon, her furious scream only muffled by the clenched teeth firmly grasping her shovel as it connects with the ant
11:06:17: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green redeems her last fancy assault, by viciously smashing an uninjured small ant, hurling herself at it with her shovel. She loops with the second swing and smashes the left set of legs, her first nailing the right set. Her third swing fails, but doesn't hit her comrades. The small ant shudders around weakly.
11:07:23: Sour_Grape smiles up at him and tries to stay focused on the killer ants.
11:08:30: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The small ant that was brutally beaten, retaliates and manages to bite it's enlarge mandible on Green's snout, blurring her vision for a moment, as it tears off a chunk of her flesh, dealing pure damage to her unarmored head.
11:09:02: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The other two ants have their time busy attacking the crazy big ant cousin, missing it completetly with their bites.
11:10:21: Roy_Calbeck lines up on the nearest of the two ants attacking the big one. "Better get ready to die..." *POW!*
11:10:51: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape still having her supra-clarity can notice faintly the enlarged form of the biggest ant their group has ever seen, it was still scuttling ever so ominously to them.
11:11:22: Sour_Grape "Big momma incoming at 12 oclock
11:12:50: <Roy_Calbeck> "Thanks..."
11:13:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck in an absolute amazing display of marksponyship unleashes his round as it whizzes inbetween the legs of the big frenzied ant, and it nails one of the smaller ants right inbetween it's large eyes, it shakes and scampers around for a moment before falling limp. Then somehow miraculously it gets back up, but it looks far from alright.
11:15:04: Roy_Calbeck takes the rest of his turn to perform a brief rendition of the Luna Moon Dance
11:16:23: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck with his last action, begins to Luna Moon Dance away from the remaining horde of ants.
11:17:15: Dust_Off gets to her hooves again. That was an inspiring shot...and the sacred Dance of Luna's Exile filled her heart of something considerably like sheer terror. She was only totally freaked out.
11:18:40: ammy scopes down her sights and unloads a shot into the nearest ant
11:23:44: <ammy> (Rather one of the unhurt smaller ants)
11:25:37: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy takes a precsion shot that just barely misses the unhurt small ant, as the bullet whizzes through the legs of the big crazy ant, causing untold havoc to his insect colony.
11:26:11: Sour_Grape shot guns the hell out of the uninjured ant
11:29:08: <Green> i'll mop things up here
11:29:17: <Green> just focus on the large one that gives bonuses to aiming
11:30:08: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape unleashes her first shotgun blast that in a stroke of sheer luck, completely manages to blow the small uninjured ant's head completety apart, So surprising was this, that it caused Sour_Grape to accidently open her shotgun, her other shell dropping to the ground.
11:30:29: Sour_Grape "By celestia's beard!"
11:30:38: Roy_Calbeck jawdrops.
11:33:31: <Roy_Calbeck> *clang!* (jaw hitting floor)
11:34:09: Dust_Off gapes. Luna's unmentionable acts...that ant...left her NO GLANDS! The amateur entomologist started down the ant queen. It was going to eat them. Samples or no, she was going to live. She rolls her neck and fires a shot aimed down the box frame of the pistol and then follows up with another.
11:36:21: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off, rolls her neck, but the gesture fails her utterly this time. Instead the beam shimmers dangerously close in front of Greens face as it fizzles against the wall. The second blast nails the humongous ant, causing a burn mark, but it doesn't seem to react to the shot.
11:38:45: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The big ant turns it's attention to the other small ant, Green wasn't attacking and savagely bites it, clipping the left set of legs clean off, as well as a huge portion of it's left side, causing the pitiful creature to writhe in agony for a moment before succumbing to death. It then turns and bites at Green's small ant, but misses.
11:39:53: Green brings her shovel to bear at the small ant and then aims to finish off the large one without checking to see if she killed the smaller one
11:43:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green swings at the small ant quickly, but her arc is off and it misses the creature entirely as she turns and winds up an all out attack that smashes the Big ant's left set of legs, crippling them. and causing him to fall on them, causing a massive thud that shakes the ground somewhat. Writhing, around in agony flailing it's functioning limbs and biting instinctivelty.
11:44:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 As it does, in it's death throes, Green and Sour_Grape manage to back away from the creature before getting hit by it. The Smaller ant is oblivious, but doesn't get touched somehow by the wild flailing.
11:45:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The remaining small ant bites at Green, but misses completely, as she was still ducking away from the big flailing ant.
11:46:34: Roy_Calbeck scopes in on the closing Ant Mother. "Mother... fuckin'... ANTS..." *POW!*
11:47:02: <Sour_Grape> 'in my mother fucking stable"
11:47:03: Roy_Calbeck makes it a head shot while he's at it.
11:49:17: Roy_Calbeck backs up, trying to keep the range open.
11:49:33: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck takes stock for a moment, then aims specifically at the enormous head, of the huge ant, the head was easily almost the size of one of the lesser ants The bullet pierces the creature, causing it to stop momentarily then continue it's scuttle.
11:53:45: ammy shoots the ant queen
11:56:19: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy takes aim with her rifle and launches a round that penetrates the gargatuan in the body, causing it to stop and give out a tremendous skree that reverberates throughout the tunnels, causing every equine to cover their ears momentarily.
11:56:53: Dust_Off covers her ears and whimpers. Bugs weren't fun no more.
11:57:27: Roy_Calbeck grimaces. "Don't these damn things know any OTHER songs?!"
11:57:34: Sour_Grape winces
11:57:34: Green screams back in defiance, or just to make the noise more tolerable.
11:58:38: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The massive ant rears back somewhat on it's back legs and lunges it's head forward, letting lose an aerial spray of yellowish viscous fluid that coats Ammy's face, causing massive burning, causing her to scream in utter anguish.
12:00:23: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy manages to shake her head furiously in her torment, the viscous fluid drips on the ground, relieveing her somewhat of her pain.
12:01:00: Sour_Grape ignores greens advice and shoots the small ant twice after reloading. She then realises she is out of ammo and calls to Green, "I need my rifle back!"
12:02:19: ammy "this shit burns!" she says whiping her face continueously with her hooves
12:02:43: <ammy> (wiping*)
12:02:55: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape nerves are completely on end from the terrifying ant monster that just sprayed death juice all over her zebra friend. So nervous and scared, she fumbles her shotgun and misses both shots completely at the smaller ant.
12:03:22: Sour_Grape is not scared at the giant acid spewing mosnter. at all... don't eat me. meep
12:03:44: <Roy_Calbeck> "Fillies and gentlecolts, I suggest we fall back and regroup!"
12:04:36: <Green> "Regroup for what? The ant is right there."
12:05:03: <Roy_Calbeck> "Maybe to wake up our make and get healing for our face-melting zebra sniper?"
12:05:08: <Roy_Calbeck> *make = mage
12:05:30: Sour_Grape "Whats a mage?"
12:05:34: Dust_Off screeched at the projectile attack from the ant queen. She snapped off a shot from her Merlin. The shot pewed out as she caught herself and actually aimed. She forgot the neckroll in the rush.
12:05:36: <Roy_Calbeck> "Nevermind!"
12:08:22: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust off in her panicked state still manages to let out a beam of magical crispiness that burns the giant monster in the body. Her other shot is more precise and hits one of the massive set of legs on her right side.
12:09:29: Green levitates out the rifle and ammo she got from Sour_Grape to Sour Grape, bashes the ant once and charges the antqueen.
12:09:35: Roy_Calbeck snaps a look towards Ammy to see if she's got the burning under control.
12:10:25: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, notices Ammy's coat has burned significantly, small patches of her coat are exposing corroded flesh.
12:11:00: Dust_Off blinks at her shots and looks towards Ammy as well.
12:14:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape now has the Marksponyrifle in her inventory, as Green tosses it to her. Turning her attention to the small ant, she swings at it, but misses then is off towards the Giant Ant monster, getting close to it.
12:14:46: Green misses the ant, but lets the momentum carry her out towards the queen where she flanks it on one side, treatening her eggs
12:15:30: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The small ant, turns from Green as she runs away, it rushes to Sour_Grape and bites at her, but misses.
12:15:51: <Sour_Grape> "Bitch Imma cut you."
12:16:56: Roy_Calbeck hisses through his teeth at the sight of Ammy's face. The unicorn gallops over and tries to levitate as much of the acid away as he can before rinsing with a bottle of purified water and applying a magical bandage to the worst of it.
12:18:40: ammy "The stars want me dead" she says laughing before wincing 'mental note, don't laugh'
12:20:22: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck uses his magic to try and levitate the goop from Ammy's face, but only manages to rip off the afflicted clumps of corroded flesh, causing the poor zebra lots more pain and agony. The water and bandages to cover the now exposed wounds, and the goop was at least gone.
12:20:53: Roy_Calbeck winces at the hash he's making of this... "MEDIC!"
12:23:28: ammy "fuck off for a second Roy" Ammy takes a pricise shot at the queen
12:23:46: Roy_Calbeck gets out of the way.
12:23:47: Sour_Grape yells back, "Don't talk to roy like that!"
12:24:07: <Roy_Calbeck> "I just ripped her face off, I think she's entitled!"
12:24:31: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy angrily shoves the white buck away from her, but the immense pain clouded her vision slightly just at the wrong moment in her aiming, firing off a round that just flies by the monster harmlessly.
12:25:12: <Dust_Off> "Kill the HU-BIGGEROUS MUTHABUCKIN' ANT FIRST!"
12:25:19: ammy "When half your face is missing filly you can say that to me again" she says growling at the filly
12:26:07: <Roy_Calbeck> "I'll shoot the ant if you bandage folks up, deal?"
12:26:36: Sour_Grape "Lets take turns shooting. I guess we should give the ant a turn too."
12:27:08: Green cries out towards the ant queen to appear more intimidating than the rest.
12:28:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The giant ant monster turns it's head towards Dust_Off, rearing back once more and unleashing two sprays of the same viscous fluid, coating the poor pegasus' right and left forelegs in a painful burning sensation, her leather armor some of the fluid, but is now becoming horribly disfigured.
12:30:04: Sour_Grape takes out her newish rifle and points it at the ant currently trying to get frisky with her legs and unleashes two steady shots at it.
12:31:06: Dust_Off curses impressively most of them about Rainbow Dash's less admirable qualities which were mnay.
12:32:57: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape unleashes two steady shots at the small ant that was in front of her, The first shot took out the right set of legs, while the other, puts a nice hole in it's body, causing to flail somewhat then go lifeless on the ground.
12:33:26: Sour_Grape screams and stomps her oovsies, "I! HATE! ANTS!"
12:33:30: <Sour_Grape> hoovsies
12:39:47: Dust_Off screams, turns tail, and runs away for a bit before the pain becomes too much and cuts through his panic of IT'S BURRNING THROUGH MY LEEEGGGS. Dust_Off takes out her canteen and empties it out onto her legs to wash off the acid. She drops the canteen and takes out of a potion and downs it.
12:41:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Washes away the goop, using a good amount of her water. The healing potion restores her vitality somewhat, while the red sores that hadn't turned into corroded flesh yet, manage to heal over, her coat begining to grow back over the healthier patches.
12:41:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust Off does that is.
12:43:13: Green attempts to flank the Ant Queen and perform her signature triple attack
12:43:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green manages to flnak the large monsterous ant, going to the left side of the creature.
12:47:18: Roy_Calbeck cheers Green on! "Gonna have Diced Ant Omelettes for breakfast!"
12:47:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Green in a dazzling and incredible display of bravery and skill, manages to bang her shovel like a mad mare, smacking the monster ant hard enough to cause it to Skree once more in a tremendous sound. Causing all to recoil and cover their ears momentarily again, The creature is shuffling around to keep the crazy red unicorn mare in front of it.
12:49:22: Roy_Calbeck lines up some fire support for the crazy mare, aiming once again for the queen's head. "Careful...careful...now!"
12:50:30: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Roy_Calbeck, lines his shot up just right, and unloads his round into the creatures head, the bullet causes the monster to jerk momentarily, but it seems too determined to crush the little red mare.
12:51:06: <Roy_Calbeck> "Take that bitch down!"
12:51:07: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ichor from it's wounds are beginning to drip heavily, it's movements are looking slightly sluggish.
12:51:12: <Roy_Calbeck> "And I don't mean the red one!"
12:52:00: Sour_Grape "Pick a bitch, any bitch"
12:52:45: <Dust_Off> "Shoot the ugly one!"
12:54:34: ammy reloads and lets an aimed shot go at the queen
12:57:58: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Ammy reloads then aims. Her vision blurs slightly once more, but she maintains her focus and fires off a round. It flies true and manages to pierce the hide of the giant monster ant's right set of legs, oozing out more ichor.
12:59:00: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The Monsterous Ant creature tries in vain to shift it's weight and gaze at Green, but cannot keep up with the fast unicorn. Mindlessly it continues to track her down to give her some Ant fury.
13:00:05: Sour_Grape looks down her sights at the beast and licks her lips. "I think it's about time to say good night." She pops off and aimed shot followed by a less aimed shot
13:04:26: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Sour_Grape, not used to the weight or build of the gun yet, unleashes two rounds, her aimed shot goes slightly wide as she sways just a bit at the last moment, and catches Green in the side, causing her pain, and very slight trauma, she stumbles a little bit at the sudden shock of being hit by something, but still maintains her momentum and balance.
13:04:46: Sour_Grape "Sorry!"
13:04:49: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The second shot pierces the monster ant in the body, causing another gaping bullet hole, that begins to bleed out ichor.
13:05:02: Sour_Grape "y u no bleed blood
13:08:58: Dust_Off clenches her jaw. They needed to kill this thing. Now. Fast. Luna, we were going to die. She grit her teeth on the grip of the Merlin. She rolled her neck once and took an aimed shot. She rolled her neck again and hit a crick in her neck, snapping off the second shot mid roll.
13:13:11: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Dust_Off fires off two of her death beams, one hitting the Ant Monsters body, the other nailing the creature to the eye, causing it to stop turning around and shake it's head. It lets loose another terrifying skree, that sounds much weaker than the last, the ichor is just pouring from the creature now.
13:14:23: Green chargest the queen in an attempt to cause real damage to one of the ant queens midsections
13:14:32: Sour_Grape shakes her head, "I don't get paid enough"
13:16:45: Dust_Off growls. "That's for my legs, bitch!"
13:18:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 As the creature very sluggishly tries to turn to the unicorn in vain, Green runs by, using the edge of her shovel to hack one of the weaked and shot legs down, as she scampers by and nails the creature in the body once. Faltering it struggles and begins to flail, as Green jumps on top of it and savagely hits the ant in the neck, hacking a huge wound in it.
13:20:04: Sour_Grape "I like to climb on giant acid spitting monsters too.,"
13:20:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Jumping off from it, the creature flails around, causing the ground to shake and rumble, the ground begins to pour crumbles and rocks from the walls and ceiling as it dramtically gets up and tries in it's last throes of death, land on Green, but she manages to run away before it can squash her flat.
13:20:57: Sour_Grape cheers
13:21:28: Roy_Calbeck hoofpumps. "YEAH!"
13:21:38: ammy flops back to her haunches and breaths a sigh of relief
13:21:39: Dust_Off smiles. "way to go. woohoo~"
13:22:56: Roy_Calbeck meanders over to Ammy, floating out a healing potion for the zebra. "It's my last... but you look like you could use it."
13:23:17: Sour_Grape runs over to hug Roy_Calbeck, "Thanks for saving me back there!"
13:23:40: Roy_Calbeck oofs! and has to concentrate a moment on not dropping that potion...!
13:23:42: ammy "I owe you" Ammy nods and graps the vile in her hooves
13:23:56: <Roy_Calbeck> "Heh, it's okay... both of you."
13:24:16: Sour_Grape beams up at roy as the screen slowly fades to black
13:24:25: Dust_Off limps over to check on Smooth Jazz.
13:24:32: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Victorious, our intrepid band of adventurers have finally slain the dreaded Ant Queen. With no more offspring to hatch, the menace will clear out over time, unless they decide to deal with the problem now. For slaughtering the lesser band of Ants our heroes recieve 500 Experience.
13:24:43: ammy strumbles to her hooves "Lets get out of this fucking hole and lets get out of this fucking city"
13:25:05: Dust_Off pokes Jazz with a hoof.
13:25:07: Green laughs off the rest of her adrenaline.
13:25:12: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 For their incredible bravery and meritorious service to the Mareizona wasteland for ridding the Ant Queen, they recieve an additional 1000 experience.
13:26:26: Roy_Calbeck nods to Ammy, giving Sour a brief hug back. "Yeah. Let's loot this place and go get paid."
13:26:43: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 The entire group has risen to level two!
13:27:05: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 They will need to gain 3,000 Experience total to reach the next level.
13:27:32: Dust_Off looks up at Roy_Calbeck. "I'm all for that. Could someone help me get the rock off of, Mister Jazz?"
13:27:38: ammy "at this point I don't give a fuck, lets all just pool our money, buy a Balefire warhead and burn this hell hole to the ground, sound good?"
13:28:52: Dust_Off looks at Jazz. "If he is dead...should we split his things?"
13:29:56: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 What of the holotape though? Or the other holotape Green obtained in the past? With the ants dead, it still doesn't explain exactly what riled them up in the first place. Is the threat truly over? We may find out the answers to these questions in our next session of Star Group Fallout Equestria.
13:29:59: <SilentBrony|GM> 3 Session End.
13:30:21: <Roy_Calbeck> Dun dun DUUUUNNNN!
