In which Yanniy meets some horrorterrors

<yzabtech[DM]> ==START==
<yzabtech[DM]> You make your way out of the crypt, Feraku following.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You head home for the cool alchemy bits
<yzabtech[DM]> Along the way, you get stopped by an angry imp.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Ah fudge"
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku steps forward. "I'll take this one," she says, as she sticks her hands out, attempting to use some sort of powers.
<yzabtech[DM]> They don't work.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You ready your axe and shield and prepare for combat
<yzabtech[DM]> "Darn it. You'll have to take this one. I'm sorry."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "69kay then"
<yzabtech[DM]> Roll for initiative.
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {5}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=19 ] | {19}
<yzabtech[DM]> The imp decides that it's sick of your face and wants to scratch it off.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=20 ] | {20}
<yzabtech[DM]> wow.
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((ow))
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 2d4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d4 --> [ 2d4=7 ] | {7}
<yzabtech[DM]> That's gotta hurt.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "GAH"
<Yanniy_Grehij> You did not like that one bit
<Yanniy_Grehij> You decide to hack away at the enemy
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {14}
<yzabtech[DM]> You do that.
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 2d8+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=9 ] | {11}
<Yanniy_Grehij> Ah, the advantage of using actual metal instead of plastic.
<yzabtech[DM]> Holy crap, one shot.
<Yanniy_Grehij> Oh.
<yzabtech[DM]> Gain 10 XP, 20 build grist, and 3 T1 grist.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "That was very anti-climactic"
<yzabtech[DM]> "It looks like you've gained a--"
<yzabtech[DM]> An ogre interrupts your little celebration, very angry at you. Through a series of grunts, it exclaims that you just killed its friend and now he has to kill you.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "W69w."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "BRING IT FUDGEHEAD"
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=18 ] | {18}
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {1}
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((that's initiative right?))
<yzabtech[DM]> ((yup))
<yzabtech[DM]> Your voice cracks as you scream that.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You clear your throat to prevent any more voicecracks
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre decides to finish what the imp was doing.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=14 ] | {18}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d6+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=4 ] | {7}
<Yanniy_Grehij> "69W"
<yzabtech[DM]> Yeah, take that.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You hack away at the ogre.
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=11 ] | {13}
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 2d8+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=7 ] | {9}
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre got hit.
<yzabtech[DM]> It doesn't like this hot-headed girl and her weirdo companion.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=17 ] | {21}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d6+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=2 ] | {5}
<Yanniy_Grehij> "6969f"
<Yanniy_Grehij> You're pretty much going into a routine here, but you hack away at the ogre again
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=18 ] | {20}
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 2d8+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=2 ] | {4}
<yzabtech[DM]> Haha, minimum roll.
<Yanniy_Grehij> darn
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((What would I need to roll to suplex the ogre))
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre laughs at it, even though he just got hit with an axe and has no awareness of meta dice-rolling.
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((next turn I mean))
<yzabtech[DM]> ((no idea, grapple maybe? strength?))
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((First grapple, then str next turn?))
<yzabtech[DM]> ((i think you can render them prone when grappling))
<yzabtech[DM]> ((like the next turn, without rolling))
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((ok))
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((I can shove him, which would render him prone))
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((I'm just going by the handbook here))
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((Anyways))
<Yanniy_Grehij> Whiffing the ogre shot made the ogre a bit more lax, so you decide to glare at him intimidatingly
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=4 ] | {6}
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((fuck))
<yzabtech[DM]> Pfffft.
<yzabtech[DM]> Nope.
<yzabtech[DM]> Not gonna work.
<Yanniy_Grehij> The turn ends on a low.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=2 ] | {6}
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre decides to take a punch but misses.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You take the opportunity and try flinging the ogre against the floor
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=16 ] | {18}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=7 ] | {13}
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre falls to the ground.
<Yanniy_Grehij> Nice
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre stands up, costing half its movement speed.
<Yanniy_Grehij> Not nice
<yzabtech[DM]> And you're right next to it, because you didn't get out of its range.
<yzabtech[DM]> Do you know what that means>
<yzabtech[DM]> means?*
<Yanniy_Grehij> Punches?
<yzabtech[DM]> Yeah.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {19}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d6+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=4 ] | {7}
<Yanniy_Grehij> The fist lands square in your face.
<yzabtech[DM]> I, as the narrator, feel really bad for you.
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre doesn't, though.
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku decides to at least try to help.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20-1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=2 ] | {1}
<yzabtech[DM]> Nope, she doesn't hit.
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre doesn't care about her, she's clearly not a threat.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Useless g69ddess" you mutter
<Yanniy_Grehij> You decide you should probably use tac- you hack away at the ogre like nothing ever happened.
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {3}
<yzabtech[DM]> Nope.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=9 ] | {13}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d6+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=1 ] | {4}
<Yanniy_Grehij> You're starting to feel a bit woozy from all the punching.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You think you'd better tag out for a second.
<yzabtech[DM]> "How far are you? This is a second-level enemy!"
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku launches into the air. Holy crap, you didn't know she could fly.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Wow, that actually works here."
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20-1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=4 ] | {3}
<yzabtech[DM]> "OUCH"
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku misses on a downward strike, instead hitting the ground.
<yzabtech[DM]> "I retract my statement!"
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=16 ] | {20}
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre aims at Feraku instead.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d6+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=4 ] | {7}
<yzabtech[DM]> "AAAGH!"
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20-1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=1 ] | {0}
<yzabtech[DM]> "DARN IT!"
<Yanniy_Grehij> ((holy crap))
<yzabtech[DM]> ((if you kill this i swear to god i will give you 1.3x the grist you would normally get))
<Yanniy_Grehij> You decide to go in for the sneak attack while the ogre is distracted.
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+4 aiming at Feraku
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {16}
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d6+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d6+3 --> [ 1d6=2 ] | {5}
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20 for stealth
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=9 ] | {9}
<yzabtech[DM]> You pass that because the ogre is distracted anyway.
<Yanniy_Grehij> nice
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=17 ] | {19}
<yzabtech[DM]> Nice.
<Yanniy_Grehij> !roll 2d8+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d8+2 --> [ 2d8=11 ] | {13}
<yzabtech[DM]> The ogre explodes, leaving behind
<yzabtech[DM]> 69 Build Grist, 22 T1 grist, and 10 T2 grist.
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku is on the ground.
<yzabtech[DM]> "I'm sorry...."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Y69u alright?"
<yzabtech[DM]> "Just... give me a second... to get up...."
<yzabtech[DM]> !roll 1d20+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {18}
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Must've been the blizzard"
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku gets up.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Getting used to a mortal form again takes a while sometimes..."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "That l6969ked like it t6969k a shipt69n 69f eff69rt t69 get up"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Well, if we get h69me we might be able t69 d69 that alchemy s*** we've been talking ab69ut"
<yzabtech[DM]> "Let's do that."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "S69, let's g69, bef69re we see m69re 69f them."
<Yanniy_Grehij> Both of you head to your home.
<yzabtech[DM]> "It might take a bit for me to fly again, but I can walk."
<yzabtech[DM]> You head home without a problem.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You climb through the window of your room.
<Yanniy_Grehij> One of these days, you should probably move some things so the door isn't blocked anymore
<yzabtech[DM]> "What happened here?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "S69rry ab69ut the weird entrance, but I might've mismanaged my r6969m when trying t69 escape certain death"
<yzabtech[DM]> "It's generally a law of S-B that your house will get messed up, but blocking the front door?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "I may have m69ved the bed in fr69nt 69f the d6969r, and bl69cked access t69 the rest 69f the h69use."
<yzabtech[DM]> "...why?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "...I'm terrible at Tetris?"
<yzabtech[DM]> "Understandable."
<yzabtech[DM]> "Alright, alchemy. Alchemy, alchemy, alchemy--"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Als69 I was kind 69f in a panic, seeing as the w69rld was ending and there were these guys harassing me..."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Right."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Alchemy."
<yzabtech[DM]> "Wait, guys harassing you?"
<yzabtech[DM]> "What did they say?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Yeah, they wanted me t69 h69ld 69n t69 this weird b6969k."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Stuff"
<yzabtech[DM]> "That was originally mine. Well, sort of."
<yzabtech[DM]> "My ancestor grew up with it. She claimed that it spoke to her, and started a cult that worshipped the voices that came from the book."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Apparently I inherited this b6969k 69r s69mething?"
<yzabtech[DM]> "When I played S-B, it was given to me."
<yzabtech[DM]> "I took it through my journey, but with a grain of salt."
<yzabtech[DM]> "I gave it to my daughter, Razero, in case she ever has to play this terrible excuse for a game."
<yzabtech[DM]> "But then, she..."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Well, it was given t69 me as well, I think s69me69ne else was supp69sed t69 inherit it?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Wait, Razer69 d69es ring a bell..."
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku covers her face for a second.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Anyway."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Right."
<Yanniy_Grehij> You get a splendid idea.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You captchalogue your bed.
<yzabtech[DM]> "The executor of my estate's will I hired gave it to Razero's best friend, as she is also a descendant of an S-B player."
<yzabtech[DM]> "I don't know what happened after."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "That sh69uld clear the way"
<yzabtech[DM]> "But it has fallen into your hands, and you should be careful. This book can either bring wisdom, power, or death."
<yzabtech[DM]> "In fact, take it out of your sylladex."
<Yanniy_Grehij> You take the book out of your sylladex.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Give the book to me."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Err..."
<Yanniy_Grehij> You give the book hesitantly.
<yzabtech[DM]> "I'm going to do something that will help us both."
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku opens the book, a black pen appearing in her hands.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You stand back a bit.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Wonderful."
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku presses the pen to the page, thinking about what she will write within.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Don't attempt this."
<yzabtech[DM]> "The wording, structure, style, and performance is paramount, and takes centuries of practice."
<yzabtech[DM]> Feraku begins to write.
<Yanniy_Grehij> You try to peek at what Feraku is writing.
<yzabtech[DM]> "A lost immortal, restoration she doth seek within this ancient dusted tome."
<Yanniy_Grehij> What a lovely story.
<yzabtech[DM]> "Her power returned, a god she seeks to be, to travel back to where she calls her home."
<yzabtech[DM]> "Done."
<yzabtech[DM]> The book lifts from Feraku's hands, as Feraku grins.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "S69 what did that..."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Err..."
<yzabtech[DM]> Black lightning arcs from the book.
<yzabtech[DM]> "That's not supposed to--"
<Yanniy_Grehij> You take cover behind anything
<Yanniy_Grehij> You climb behind the alchemiter

<yzabtech[DM]> The people you saw on TV appear in a flash of lightning.
<Showstoppers> Unison: "GOOD EVENING, C4S3!"
<Yanniy_Grehij> Oh dear
<Yanniy_Grehij> You remember them killing people last time they were on TV
<Yanniy_Grehij> It wasn't pretty
<Showstoppers> Andromeda: "After a long, perilous journey across at least five S-B sessions and universes,"
<Showstoppers> Cassiopeia: "Caused by a bit of technical difficulties from a Witch of Time who got too full of herself,"
<Showstoppers> Unison: "WE'RE BACK!"
<Showstoppers> Andromeda: "Lost immortals, seeking restoration!"
<Showstoppers> Casseopeia: "That fits us perfectly!"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "But didn't she write it in singular f69rm?"
<Showstoppers> Andromeda: "Oh yeah, you're right. Casseopeia, get back in the book!"
<Showstoppers> Cassiopeia: "Me? Back in the book? But I don't wanna!" she says jokingly.
<Showstoppers> Andromeda: "No, you have to get back in the book, because it's against the rules! Look, it says it right there--"
<yzabtech[DM]> Andromeda opens the book to the page where Feraku wrote, it is now printed, and in illegible text in a script you can't recognize.
<Showstoppers> Cassiopeia: "Oh my, an error in translation! There is no singular and plural distinction in our language!"
<Showstoppers> Andromeda holds a microphone uncomfortably close to your face.
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Err..."
<Showstoppers> Cassiopeia: "So, Yanniy Grehij, tell us about yourself!"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "Well... I'm Yanniy Grehij, I like vide69 games..."
<Showstoppers> Andromeda: "This is a video game!"
<Showstoppers> Cassiopeia: "How are you enjoying your session?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "It wasn't really what I was expecting?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "I didn't expect it t69 be s69... real, I guess?"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "I feel like Game 69vers are a l69t m69re unf69rgiving than in 69ther games..."
<Yanniy_Grehij> "And I have the feeling that everything seems t69 be determined by RNG rather than actual skillful play."
<Showstoppers> Andromeda: "The juiciest gossip is always in the dream bubbles!"
<Yanniy_Grehij> "But t-that's just my 69pini69n"
