  7. [2017-02-25 18:30:51] <Zarek> Can someone link the Evildoers rules?

  16. [2017-02-25 18:36:53] <Mukora> Wackd? MousaThe14?
  17. [2017-02-25 18:37:28] <MousaThe14> I'm in here, I'm just waitin'. catching up on the main thread to pass the time
  18. [2017-02-25 18:38:01] <Wackd> Sorry, just wrapping up this episode of Supergirl
  19. [2017-02-25 18:38:09] <StateOfBedlam> I didn't know we were setting the mood for a 10 Things I Hate About You roleplay
  20. [2017-02-25 18:38:39] <Wackd> Wasn't paying attention to the chat
  21. [2017-02-25 18:38:46] <Mukora> Alright. I'll go ahead and do the recap then
  22. [2017-02-25 18:38:48] <StateOfBedlam> I live on the same street as the house from that film
  23. [2017-02-25 18:38:53] <maxwellelvis> Har har har, roman
  24. [2017-02-25 18:40:48] <StateOfBedlam> Wackd I linked my alternate take on the symbols in your Liberators title design above.
  25. [2017-02-25 18:40:55] <Mukora> Welcome Back, Kids. Last time on Liberators. Or Evildoers. Or Taskforce Q? Nah Liberators is fine. Our friends of dubious morality were officially informed of the role they were to play. HALBERD has "hired" them to eliminate an incoming alien threat. One town has already fallen to these invaders, and it's up to a bunch of criminals to stop them. What could
  26. [2017-02-25 18:40:55] <Mukora> go wrong.
  27. [2017-02-25 18:40:55] <Wackd> K'
  28. [2017-02-25 18:41:22] <StateOfBedlam> Love the space before "go wrong.
  29. [2017-02-25 18:43:31] <Mukora> Their first task is to steal an item called "the Spaceclaw" from one Armano Frances, a local hero. The best opportunity will be at a party he's having.
  30. [2017-02-25 18:44:09] <Mukora> But first, I believe Fucking Awesome and Coralsnake wished to investigate the handy dandy communicator watches they've been given?
  31. [2017-02-25 18:44:17] <Wackd> Yep
  32. [2017-02-25 18:44:24] <StateOfBedlam> "[23:57] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis arrives at her limo and waits for Tess Thompson to meet her there.
  33. [2017-02-25 18:44:24] <StateOfBedlam> [23:57] <Mukora> "They... Aren't cells. They're very nice rooms."
  34. [2017-02-25 18:44:24] <StateOfBedlam> [23:57] <StateOfBedlam> In the meantime, she takes some paper and a pen out and writes something on it.
  35. [2017-02-25 18:44:24] <StateOfBedlam> [23:58] <StateOfBedlam> Also a clipboard.
  36. [2017-02-25 18:44:24] <StateOfBedlam> [23:58] <StateOfBedlam> Which the paper is on."
  37. [2017-02-25 18:46:49] <Mukora> Right. So well open on Tess and Alexis meeting up
  38. [2017-02-25 18:50:07] <Wackd> "Alright, boss lady. How're we doing this?"
  39. [2017-02-25 18:50:57] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis says "Just some quick sight seeing while we catch up," and shows Tess the paper. The paper says "These watches could be bugged. I'm taking us to an expert." (Who that actually is can be up to Mukora)
  40. [2017-02-25 18:51:49] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis gets in the back of the limo.
  41. [2017-02-25 18:51:57] <Wackd> Tess follows.
  42. [2017-02-25 18:54:33] <StateOfBedlam> (My thinking here is that Alexis has a working relationship with at least one criminal professional in this field. I just don't want to presume anything about personality, etc. on the part of whatever character like that inhabits the city.)
  43. [2017-02-25 18:54:39] <Mukora> Alright. So the two of you head to a shop downtown. Radiant Electrics. It's owned by a guy named Germaine Foundry. Alexis you probably know him from like. Setting up your casino security and helping you take it off the grid, though if you have a better suggestion go for it. The store is open basically 24/7 which is. Really fucking annoying if you live in the
  44. [2017-02-25 18:54:39] <Mukora> area because it is just constantly lit up like a god damn flashbulb
  45. [2017-02-25 18:55:14] <StateOfBedlam> (Sounds good)
  46. [2017-02-25 18:55:44] <Mukora> Also I imagine the architecture in this part of the town is like. A bunch of three-four story buildings really close together.
  47. [2017-02-25 18:56:17] <StateOfBedlam> "Let's get out here. I have a friend you should meet," says Alexis as she gets out and dusts herself off.
  48. [2017-02-25 18:58:06] <Wackd> "A friend friend, or a 'hey if you could make sure this person pays me the money I'm owed that'd be great' friend?"
  49. [2017-02-25 18:58:56] <StateOfBedlam> "Currently the former."
  50. [2017-02-25 18:59:33] <Wackd> "Alright then, neat."
  51. [2017-02-25 19:00:56] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis walks through the front door.
  52. [2017-02-25 19:01:07] <Wackd> Tess follows/
  53. [2017-02-25 19:02:25] <Mukora> You enter the store and see that it looks less like a store and more like a... Dormroom? Clothes are scattered everywhere, there's trash all over the place. The shelves are upright and have items on them but on closer examination it's hard to tell if any of them are actually for sale.
  54. [2017-02-25 19:02:53] <StateOfBedlam> (Is there a bell to ring or something?)
  55. [2017-02-25 19:02:58] <Mukora> As you cross the threshold a robotic voice says "Welcome, customer. The owner will be with you in a moment"
  56. [2017-02-25 19:03:09] <StateOfBedlam> (nevermind)
  57. [2017-02-25 19:03:28] <Wackd> "So, uh. What does this guy do for you, exactly? I hope it's not housekeeping."
  58. [2017-02-25 19:04:07] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis retrieves the watch from her pocket and holds it in her hand. "Just some technical work here and there."
  59. [2017-02-25 19:04:30] <Mukora> You here a sort of shuffling behind the stores counter. Then just. Loud snoring. Like a lawnmower on overdrive
  60. [2017-02-25 19:04:55] <StateOfBedlam> "Please go wake him."
  61. [2017-02-25 19:06:20] <Wackd> Tess shrugs. "If you insist." Tess leans over the man's face and takes a deep breath.
  62. [2017-02-25 19:06:23] <Wackd> "HEY DICKWEED"
  63. [2017-02-25 19:07:30] <Mukora> He snorts and his eyes snap open "OH HEY," he springs to his feet "Welcome! What can I do for ya?"
  64. [2017-02-25 19:08:17] <Wackd> Tess shrugs. "I dunno. Ask her." She jerks a thumb back at Alexis.
  65. [2017-02-25 19:08:59] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis signals by gesturing to her ear, then pointing at the watch, then shrugging. Trying to convey "This might be bugged. I don't know for sure. Find out for me". What she actually says is "Just catching up with an old friend."
  66. [2017-02-25 19:10:16] <Mukora> "Oh. Okay sure thing," he whispers, but in a way where the volume of his voice does not change "I'll get my tools you just put that over on the counter over there"
  67. [2017-02-25 19:11:10] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis holds back from rolling her eyes and points to Tess's watch, mouthing "her's first."
  68. [2017-02-25 19:12:13] <Mukora> I should actually describe this guy. He's like. Kinda stout, and chubby. But also built. He has dark skin but he's also kinda ashy and pale. He's wearing a jumpsuit that's just the grossest shade of green you've ever seen. And when he actually walks past Tess, you see that he has robotic legs
  69. [2017-02-25 19:12:38] <StateOfBedlam> She nods at Tess for her to talk off the watch. (I don't want him to think he's supposed to look at it while it's still on her wrist)
  70. [2017-02-25 19:13:13] <Wackd> Tess removes it.
  71. [2017-02-25 19:14:19] <Mukora> Well. You try to. But when you try to use the locking mechanism it just doesn't respond at all
  72. [2017-02-25 19:15:07] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis writes "Locking mechanism takes new priority" on her clipboard paper.
  73. [2017-02-25 19:15:14] <StateOfBedlam> And shows him
  74. [2017-02-25 19:15:22] <StateOfBedlam> Well shows both of them
  75. [2017-02-25 19:15:33] <Mukora> Germaine looks at the paper and nods.
  76. [2017-02-25 19:15:50] <Mukora> Tess do you continue trying to remove the watch?
  77. [2017-02-25 19:16:29] <Wackd> I try to inflate my arm to see if it'll break off under pressure.
  78. [2017-02-25 19:16:36] <StateOfBedlam> (Good thing I never put it on)
  79. [2017-02-25 19:17:09] <Mukora> How big can you inflate your arm?
  80. [2017-02-25 19:17:49] <StateOfBedlam> As this is happening, Alexis shakes her head frantically at Tess with a worried expression.
  81. [2017-02-25 19:18:01] <StateOfBedlam> Mouthing "Don't break it"
  82. [2017-02-25 19:18:34] <Wackd> I have +1 Muscle.
  83. [2017-02-25 19:19:18] <Wackd> Should I roll for it?
  84. [2017-02-25 19:19:58] <Mukora> I mean your muscle stat doesn't tell me how big your arm can get
  85. [2017-02-25 19:21:44] <Mukora> Actually nevermind. It doesn't make sense to not let you roll for this. So yes.
  86. [2017-02-25 19:22:12] <Wackd> Okay. Because I'm trying and failing to think of a good comparison and I'm no good with numbers.
  87. [2017-02-25 19:22:52] <Wackd> 8.
  88. [2017-02-25 19:23:22] <Wackd> ...I guess, like. The diameter of a large dinner plate. I dunno if that's good because I dunno what our respective plates look like, but.
  89. [2017-02-25 19:24:04] <StateOfBedlam> https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/shopping?q=tbn:ANd9GcQOsEnCSiLarz0ZvMBC_fRiUsJHImj8VkBoaNjiAZHt1vSjZixDglbs4EKn2nDfh62r3JOaVPI&usqp=CAE like the big one here?
  90. [2017-02-25 19:24:48] <Mukora> Alright that works. So choose 1 positive and 1 negative effect
  91. [2017-02-25 19:25:31] <Wackd> One positive is that the strap of the watch breaks. One negative is that whatever happens when the strap of the watch breaks happens.
  92. [2017-02-25 19:26:11] <Mukora> That's not really how the move works as written? But I like it so I'm gonna go with it. Sorry Inbar
  93. [2017-02-25 19:26:23] <Inbarfink> okay, sure
  94. [2017-02-25 19:26:39] <Inbarfink> If you think I can reword something to make this work better...
  95. [2017-02-25 19:27:00] <Mukora> I will message you after I resolve this move
  96. [2017-02-25 19:27:02] <Inbarfink> maybe like have the examples of negative effects and postive effects listed to indeed be, like, examples
  97. [2017-02-25 19:27:44] <StateOfBedlam> Maybe make the move cripplingly overspecific to watches and watch-related scenarios
  98. [2017-02-25 19:31:12] <Mukora> So you start to expand your arm. I don't know if you do this fast or slow, but either way at a certain point you hear the bottom of the watch SNAP and see it go loose on your arm... You also feel a sharp pinprick in your arm, under the watch's face and hear a sharp hissing sound. Your vision starts to blur. What do you do?
  99. [2017-02-25 19:32:08] <Wackd> I do it slow, to make sure I snap the watchband and not break the entire device into itty bitty pieces. As I am apparently drugged, I can't help but feel like blowing it to itty bitty pieces might've been the smart move.
  100. [2017-02-25 19:32:34] <StateOfBedlam> (Remember when Jake was poisoned in Adventure Time so he used his shapeshifting powers to get really big so the poison would wear off without affecting him as much or however they explained it?)
  101. [2017-02-25 19:33:07] <Wackd> Is it just my vision blurring? Anything else happening of import?
  102. [2017-02-25 19:33:22] <StateOfBedlam> (No wait he made his liver big right?)
  103. [2017-02-25 19:34:01] <StateOfBedlam> (you can't make your liver this big can you http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Liver)
  104. [2017-02-25 19:34:35] <StateOfBedlam> http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Liver
  105. [2017-02-25 19:34:55] <StateOfBedlam> (parenthesis screwed up the link)
  106. [2017-02-25 19:34:56] <Mukora> Your vision is blurring and you can definitely feel youself drifting off
  107. [2017-02-25 19:35:22] <Wackd> Okay so I'm not, like, on top of my game here, cognitively.
  108. [2017-02-25 19:35:44] <Wackd> That's good to know because I don't want whatever idea I come up with to be, like, brilliant or anything.
  109. [2017-02-25 19:35:57] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis tries to pull Tess out through the front door.
  110. [2017-02-25 19:36:08] <StateOfBedlam> (Going to take some initiative here then)
  111. [2017-02-25 19:36:26] <Wackd> That's also very distracting. I imagine that despite her best efforts she just...dozes off.
  112. [2017-02-25 19:36:40] <Mukora> Alright.
  113. [2017-02-25 19:36:58] <StateOfBedlam> (That's definitely not what I imagined)
  114. [2017-02-25 19:37:02] <Mukora> So Alexis, you start dragging Tess out and she just kinda goes limp
  115. [2017-02-25 19:37:14] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis gently sets her down.
  116. [2017-02-25 19:37:38] <StateOfBedlam> She looks to Germaine "Take me to your phone. And bring her a pillow."
  117. [2017-02-25 19:38:06] <StateOfBedlam> "A clean one."
  118. [2017-02-25 19:38:38] <Mukora> Germaine just sort of like. Wobbles towards you and back "Uh... Which one do you want me to do first?"
  119. [2017-02-25 19:38:58] <StateOfBedlam> "Phone. Do what I say in the order I say it."
  120. [2017-02-25 19:39:11] <Mukora> "Right. Sorry. Follow me"
  121. [2017-02-25 19:39:19] <StateOfBedlam> She does so.
  122. [2017-02-25 19:39:22] <Mukora> And he starts walking toward the back of the store
  123. [2017-02-25 19:39:44] <Mukora> He leads you into an office and shows you an old rotary phone on his desk
  124. [2017-02-25 19:41:17] <StateOfBedlam> "Ugh, we had one of these were I grew up." She starts to dial up a medical specialist. She says to Germaine "Take this and put it out of earshot before you get that pillow. Set it in the other room with her." She holds her watch out to him.
  125. [2017-02-25 19:41:29] <StateOfBedlam> *"where I grew up"
  126. [2017-02-25 19:41:36] <Mukora> Germaine does so
  127. [2017-02-25 19:44:08] <Mukora> So. You call a medical specialist. I don't think we need to play out that conversation but is this also someone you know? Or like. A hospital?
  128. [2017-02-25 19:44:41] <StateOfBedlam> Another criminal. Who I want to make a house call.
  129. [2017-02-25 19:45:01] <StateOfBedlam> ASAP
  130. [2017-02-25 19:45:02] <Mukora> Alright.
  131. [2017-02-25 19:45:32] <Mukora> So. You finish calling up your friend. Is there anything you wanna do while you wait?
  132. [2017-02-25 19:46:26] <StateOfBedlam> I go make sure he got an actually clean pillow and that he put it under her head properly. As opposed to like. Just setting it on her face or something.
  133. [2017-02-25 19:48:02] <Mukora> He did. He even got a nice little duvet to cover her in.
  134. [2017-02-25 19:48:35] <StateOfBedlam> Alright, good.
  135. [2017-02-25 19:48:47] <StateOfBedlam> I try to check her pulse.
  136. [2017-02-25 19:50:37] <Mukora> Her pulse is weak but there.
  137. [2017-02-25 19:50:49] <StateOfBedlam> I give her some breathing room and wait.
  138. [2017-02-25 19:51:39] <Mukora> Alright. So it's about... 10 minutes before your medical specialist arrives. They show up in a plain white van.
  139. [2017-02-25 19:51:58] <StateOfBedlam> I open the door for them.
  140. [2017-02-25 19:53:51] <Mukora> They step out of the van "Thanks, sorry for taking so long." They're a tall, androgynous person. They're wearing a red cocktail dress for some reason.
  141. [2017-02-25 19:54:03] <Mukora> "Where's your friend at?"
  142. [2017-02-25 19:54:06] <StateOfBedlam> (Did Sanderson introduce himself by name?)
  143. [2017-02-25 19:54:38] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis brings them to Tess.
  144. [2017-02-25 19:54:47] <Mukora> (He did)
  145. [2017-02-25 19:55:04] <StateOfBedlam> (Only Sanderson, or do we know a first name?)
  146. [2017-02-25 19:55:42] ⇐ Inbarfink quit ([email protected]): Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
  147. [2017-02-25 19:55:57] <StateOfBedlam> (Is it "agent" Sanderson or something like that? A title?)
  148. [2017-02-25 19:56:16] <Mukora> (His name is Ford Sanderson and I believe he told you that)
  149. [2017-02-25 19:56:28] <StateOfBedlam> (Yes you did.)
  150. [2017-02-25 19:56:38] → Inbarfink joined ([email protected])
  151. [2017-02-25 19:56:41] <StateOfBedlam> (Alright noted then)
  152. [2017-02-25 19:58:29] <Mukora> So so the "doctor" who is named Airi Smith kneels down next to Tess and sets down their first aid kit. She... Does whatever you do to check if someone's been drugged and if they're okay look I'm not a paramedic.
  153. [2017-02-25 19:59:17] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis waits.
  154. [2017-02-25 20:00:12] <Mukora> "So. Captain obvious real quick, she's definitely been injected with some sort of sedative. It seems like she'll be fine for now but she'll probably feel like shit when she wakes up. I recommend getting her somewhere comfortable and not. Yknow. A sidewalk."
  155. [2017-02-25 20:00:40] <StateOfBedlam> (Sidewalk? She's supposed to be in Germaine's house)
  156. [2017-02-25 20:01:09] <Mukora> (... Oh. Well ignore that then. You said you dragged her out the door and I assumed that meant outside)
  157. [2017-02-25 20:01:10] <StateOfBedlam> (I stopped taking her outside when she went limp)
  158. [2017-02-25 20:01:22] <Mukora> (alright. Sorry)
  159. [2017-02-25 20:01:39] <StateOfBedlam> ('s fine)
  160. [2017-02-25 20:01:52] <Mukora> "and not uh... A place this unsanitary"
  161. [2017-02-25 20:02:50] <StateOfBedlam> "How long do you it will be until she wakes up?"
  162. [2017-02-25 20:03:02] <Mukora> Question for Tess. Did your arm deflate when you passed out?
  163. [2017-02-25 20:03:21] <Wackd> No.
  164. [2017-02-25 20:04:35] <Mukora> "It'll be about... A couple hours? Probably? I dunno it's hard to tell what she's been injected with"
  165. [2017-02-25 20:06:40] <StateOfBedlam> (I'm going to assume for convenience that Germaine is in the room) Alexis writes "See if you can extract the injection mechanism" on one of her papers for Germaine.
  166. [2017-02-25 20:06:54] <StateOfBedlam> She Gestures to the broken watch
  167. [2017-02-25 20:08:25] <Mukora> Germaine nods. Then leans down to pick up the watch. As he does so you hear a loud BEEP and his eyes go wide. He scrambled to pick up the watch and as he does so the beeping continues every second or so he thrusts the watch face toward you and you see a timer counting down. 25... 26... 27... What do you do?
  168. [2017-02-25 20:09:31] <Mukora> ... god damn it. Reverse that countdown
  169. [2017-02-25 20:09:40] <StateOfBedlam> (Got it)
  170. [2017-02-25 20:10:52] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis asks "Do you have a spare slingshot? Miniature catapult? Trebuchet? Answer quickly."
  171. [2017-02-25 20:12:53] <Mukora> "No! I think we should probably just run!"
  172. [2017-02-25 20:13:37] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis pockets her own watch, throws Tess over her shoulder, and hurries outside
  173. [2017-02-25 20:18:47] <Mukora> You, Germaine and Airi all sprint out of the store and across the street. The explosion comes just as you turn around, and hear the sound. Smoke pours out of Radiant Electrics, and you see fire beyond it within the store.
  174. [2017-02-25 20:19:37] <Mukora> Germaine collapses to his knees and just starts sobbing
  175. [2017-02-25 20:19:57] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis hands Germaine a card. "Call this. I will pay for damages to the building."
  176. [2017-02-25 20:20:18] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis looks at Airi and says "Thank you for your assistance as well."
  177. [2017-02-25 20:20:40] <StateOfBedlam> She puts Tess into the back of the limo and puts her own watch there as well.
  178. [2017-02-25 20:20:45] <Mukora> He grabs the card and wipes his face with his sleeve. Airi coughs awkwardly and just kinda... Starts walking back toward her van
  179. [2017-02-25 20:21:51] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis walks into an alleyway and pulls out her cell phone to make hopefully the last specialist call for this mini-adventure.
  180. [2017-02-25 20:22:22] <Mukora> Who do you call?
  181. [2017-02-25 20:22:39] <StateOfBedlam> I need to call some kind of. Unscrupulous investigator. Who can tail people and stake out houses.
  182. [2017-02-25 20:23:17] <Mukora> Alright. Who do you want them to tail?
  183. [2017-02-25 20:23:28] <StateOfBedlam> Well first I ask if the line is secure.
  184. [2017-02-25 20:24:26] <Mukora> "Of course. I don't use anything made after 1960"
  185. [2017-02-25 20:24:33] <StateOfBedlam> I want them to find the home of a "Ford Sanderson" who works for HALBERD.
  186. [2017-02-25 20:24:56] <StateOfBedlam> I don't expect immediate results, this can be resolved after the mission.
  187. [2017-02-25 20:25:35] <Mukora> "You just want me to snoop or you want me to... Yknow?"
  188. [2017-02-25 20:26:06] <StateOfBedlam> "I need to know where he lives and what kind of security he has. I don't want any surprises. I can take it from there."
  189. [2017-02-25 20:27:23] <Mukora> "Alright. I'll get it done." And the line cuts off
  190. [2017-02-25 20:27:47] <StateOfBedlam> I get in the limo and have us go wherever we have to go to join the rest of the Liberators team.
  191. [2017-02-25 20:27:58] <Mukora> Alright cool.
  192. [2017-02-25 20:28:28] <Mukora> So. Is there any other sort of prep work people want to do before the party?
  193. [2017-02-25 20:29:50] <Zarek> I did want to mention -- Delphid has a cyborg shark for a pet but I don't think it was expressly mentioned as part of the belongings returned to her. Can I assume I still have him with me or would they still be holding him?
  194. [2017-02-25 20:30:01] <maxwellelvis> Maybe break the bad news of, yes, HALBERD was smart enough to include numerous insurance policies.
  195. [2017-02-25 20:30:39] <StateOfBedlam> Let's assume Alexis had time to outfit her people to pass as guests. And outfits for herself and Tess.
  196. [2017-02-25 20:30:53] <Mukora> Unless he isn't a weapon I think they would keep him in the parking garage with the rest of the gear.
  197. [2017-02-25 20:31:20] <Mukora> @Roman: Yeah absolutely.
  198. [2017-02-25 20:31:31] <Wackd> Tess looks good in a suit.
  199. [2017-02-25 20:31:50] <Zarek> So to be clear I would have him with me?
  200. [2017-02-25 20:32:05] <Mukora> If you need to use him for something, yeah.
  201. [2017-02-25 20:32:07] <MousaThe14> The Thief has opted to not join the festivitied legitimately, he's going to backdoor
  202. [2017-02-25 20:32:11] <maxwellelvis> The Trick-Or-Treater has instead opted for the black turtleneck of stealth.
  203. [2017-02-25 20:32:19] <maxwellelvis> And he's around back with the Thief.
  204. [2017-02-25 20:32:22] <Zarek> I figure I might need him.
  205. [2017-02-25 20:32:30] <Mukora> Alright yeah so let's go over this.
  206. [2017-02-25 20:32:31] <MousaThe14> Besides, the only makeup on his face are the black spots on his cheeks and nose
  207. [2017-02-25 20:32:50] <MousaThe14> ANd he doesn't feel like putting pink human looking stuff on his pure what visage
  208. [2017-02-25 20:33:34] <MousaThe14> *white visage
  209. [2017-02-25 20:35:43] <Inbarfink> sleep
  210. [2017-02-25 20:35:49] <StateOfBedlam> Night
  211. [2017-02-25 20:35:50] <Inbarfink> oh shit wrong chat!
  212. [2017-02-25 20:35:53] <Mukora> So you have all been briefed on the situafion. The place you're breaking into is a four-story lakeside condomium. Security is not non-existent but is mostly centered around the party itself. The Spaceclaw is in Frances' private room, locked in a vault. Armano himself will be spending a lot of time mingling with party guests, but there's a chance he may
  213. [2017-02-25 20:35:53] <Mukora> adjourn to his room if the mood strikes him. There are essentially three main entrances into the building: The front door. The roof. Or an employee entrance to Armanos personal kitchen on the ground floor
  214. [2017-02-25 20:36:20] ⇐ Inbarfink quit ([email protected]): Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
  215. [2017-02-25 20:36:32] <Mukora> You can make your own entrance if you so choose, as well
  216. [2017-02-25 20:36:49] <Mukora> What's your plan?
  217. [2017-02-25 20:37:36] <StateOfBedlam> I have "communication devices" of my own listed in my Gear, so I've given them to all my fake guests. Of which there are five besides Tess because that's how many extra invitations I requested before.
  218. [2017-02-25 20:37:59] <MousaThe14> The Silent Thief is going to make his way to the rooftop.
  219. [2017-02-25 20:38:29] <maxwellelvis> The Treater is going to go to the kitchens.
  220. [2017-02-25 20:38:48] <maxwellelvis> No wait, he's also going to the rooftops.
  221. [2017-02-25 20:38:50] <Zarek> If I remember correctly, Delphid's part of the plan is to be stationed nearby the party and stay on standby, waiting for updates from the others. She's there for when subtlety goes out the window, or if they need a distraction in the form of a mech-suited warlord crashing the joint.
  222. [2017-02-25 20:39:03] <Zarek> Or if they need a universal key for the vault.
  223. [2017-02-25 20:39:11] <maxwellelvis> Yeah, rooftops. Forgot Delphid was going to be our diversion.
  224. [2017-02-25 20:39:38] <Zarek> What's the area around the condo look like, for that matter?
  225. [2017-02-25 20:39:54] <Mukora> Oh also. I changed my mind about the gear table. You each have 2 pieces of HALBERD gear that you can define however you want as the need arises.
  226. [2017-02-25 20:40:36] <Zarek> (Also I think I'm actually going to let Darkjaw sleep right now, I can't figure a way I could easily incorporate him here)
  227. [2017-02-25 20:40:38] <StateOfBedlam> Does the thing I said still work? It really doesn't matter right now if they're listening in
  228. [2017-02-25 20:40:45] <Mukora> The area around the condo is mostly a residential district. Other condos, and a single cheap hotel.
  229. [2017-02-25 20:41:21] <Mukora> @Bedlam: Sure. Sorry, any like. Defined gear you have is fine. You just also have two wild cards to use
  230. [2017-02-25 20:42:26] <Zarek> ...Actually wait. I don't have this as an ability so feel free to say it doesn't work like this, but could I say Delphid's suit works under water?
  231. [2017-02-25 20:42:48] <StateOfBedlam> oooooh. Ok. In that case they don't have direct access to the other communication devices. But they can still hear what Alexis herself says through the watch which is still in her pocket. Because I am 100% positive it is bugged considering what's happened.
  232. [2017-02-25 20:43:43] <StateOfBedlam> Does Armano Frances have innate powers that we know of?
  233. [2017-02-25 20:43:48] <Mukora> @Zarek: Hm. Proooobably? I mean it has to have its own internal pressure right? You probably couldn't like. Go down into the Marianas trench but. Yeah
  234. [2017-02-25 20:44:06] <Zarek> Okay. Delphid's going to wait under the lake.
  235. [2017-02-25 20:44:17] <Mukora> Oh right yes you would have been briefed on Armanos powers.
  236. [2017-02-25 20:45:18] <Mukora> Armona has a suit of lightweight power armour he keeps on him at all times. It's controlled by an activation key on his belt. His suit itself can fly, shoot energy blasts, and absorb moderate shock
  237. [2017-02-25 20:45:52] <StateOfBedlam> Noted.
  238. [2017-02-25 20:46:20] <Wackd> And you named him
  239. [2017-02-25 20:46:21] <Wackd> Armona
  240. [2017-02-25 20:46:33] <Mukora> So. The plan is. Tess, Alexis and five goons enter the party as guests. Silent Thief and Trick-Or-Treater enter from the roof. Delphid waits underwater. Yes?
  241. [2017-02-25 20:46:58] <Wackd> Yep
  242. [2017-02-25 20:47:00] <StateOfBedlam> Yeah. And it's Armono with an "o" right?
  243. [2017-02-25 20:47:08] <Mukora> God damn it. Armano
  244. [2017-02-25 20:47:18] <StateOfBedlam> Right, ok.
  245. [2017-02-25 20:47:23] <Mukora> Typos are fun
  246. [2017-02-25 20:47:32] <StateOfBedlam> Tpyos ARE fun.
  247. [2017-02-25 20:48:20] <Mukora> Alright so. Let's start with the two roof boys.
  248. [2017-02-25 20:48:40] <Mukora> Silent Thief and Trick-Or-Treater how do you get onto the roof?
  249. [2017-02-25 20:49:45] <maxwellelvis> I'll spend one of my wild cards and say https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWwYE7P55Wg
  250. [2017-02-25 20:49:47] <MousaThe14> Easy enough, Invisible sky bridge
  251. [2017-02-25 20:50:07] <maxwellelvis> Oh screw what I said, ignore it, that's much better.
  252. [2017-02-25 20:50:19] <StateOfBedlam> Tell me you say that in Mabel's voi- nevermind
  253. [2017-02-25 20:50:51] <MousaThe14> Remember he can make virtually whatever he wants so long as he knows how it works and he's in direct contact with it.
  254. [2017-02-25 20:51:31] <MousaThe14> Sure people will be able to see them but A. People so very rarely look up and B, they can be high enough for it to not matter, especially at night
  255. [2017-02-25 20:51:49] <StateOfBedlam> You know that this doesn't preclude the Treater saying "grappling hook" without any kind of prompting. Just saying it aloud for seemingly no reason.
  256. [2017-02-25 20:52:10] <Mukora> Alright. Uh... Is it a BRIDGE or is it stairs? Cause a bridge would still require like. Being on another roof first
  257. [2017-02-25 20:53:10] <MousaThe14> Like, not an actual bridge, he doesn't have unlimited range
  258. [2017-02-25 20:53:19] <maxwellelvis> Like a ladder?
  259. [2017-02-25 20:53:32] <MousaThe14> Just climbs some invisible stairs and now they're on an invisible platform in the air they can walk across
  260. [2017-02-25 20:54:29] <Mukora> Alright. Give me a Use Your Powers roll. I... Assume this is Guile?
  261. [2017-02-25 20:55:21] <Mukora> No sorry. Guile is for charm
  262. [2017-02-25 20:55:37] <StateOfBedlam> This is Power
  263. [2017-02-25 20:55:45] <StateOfBedlam> "Has the ability to create invisible objects, but they only exist for as long as he’s holding them and he can’t create complex machinery unless he understands every object in it, how it’s put together, and how it works. (Power)"
  264. [2017-02-25 20:56:20] <Mukora> Right okay
  265. [2017-02-25 20:56:26] <Mukora> So roll plus Power
  266. [2017-02-25 20:56:43] <Mukora> Also note that Inbar has slightly changed how this move works.
  267. [2017-02-25 20:57:03] <MousaThe14> I put it under power
  268. [2017-02-25 20:57:09] <MousaThe14> Wiat, how does it work now?
  269. [2017-02-25 20:58:24] <MousaThe14> Also what do I roll, the usual 2d6+ whatever stat
  270. [2017-02-25 20:58:27] <Mukora> "on a hit, you succeed in doing what you wanted to do. on a partial hit, you succeeded, but choose one negative effect. on a miss, choose 2 negative effects."
  271. [2017-02-25 20:59:00] <MousaThe14> (cool. Got a 12)
  272. [2017-02-25 21:00:46] <Mukora> Alright cool so you flawlessly create an invisible bridge for yourself and Silent Thief to get on the roof with
  273. [2017-02-25 21:01:17] <Mukora> What does this look like? I mean obviously the bridge is invisible. But what sort of... Motions does Silent Thief do to make a bridge?
  274. [2017-02-25 21:01:39] <maxwellelvis> (HE's the Silent Thief)
  275. [2017-02-25 21:01:58] <Mukora> (Look I didn't get a lot of sleep)
  276. [2017-02-25 21:02:22] <maxwellelvis> (Ah. Sorry)
  277. [2017-02-25 21:02:40] <MousaThe14> He first have to actually do anything but walk
  278. [2017-02-25 21:03:13] <MousaThe14> Basically he walks up stairs until he feels like he's at a nice enough height and keeps walking
  279. [2017-02-25 21:04:07] <MousaThe14> As long as he thinks about it the object is right beneath his feet at the size he chooses, so long and wide enough for someone to walk with him
  280. [2017-02-25 21:04:52] <Mukora> How does Trick-Or-Treater feel about walking on something completely invisible?
  281. [2017-02-25 21:05:37] <maxwellelvis> Spooked, a bit.
  282. [2017-02-25 21:05:56] <Mukora> Alright
  283. [2017-02-25 21:06:12] <MousaThe14> "Just mind ze gap, I hear zat next step is a doozy!"
  284. [2017-02-25 21:06:42] <maxwellelvis> "Yeah, that's EXACTLY what I wanna hear right now, Thief."
  285. [2017-02-25 21:07:03] <Mukora> So you both reach the roof. It doesn't seem like anyone has noticed you yet. You see the stairwell door across from you, and can faintly hear classical music drifting out
  286. [2017-02-25 21:07:42] <maxwellelvis> "Bleggh! At least play some Swan Lake or something."
  287. [2017-02-25 21:07:45] <Mukora> The door itself is locked. What do you do?
  288. [2017-02-25 21:08:26] <MousaThe14> Thank god one piece of equipment he picked up from halbred was a skeleton key?
  289. [2017-02-25 21:08:39] <maxwellelvis> I wanted to do that pun
  290. [2017-02-25 21:09:01] <StateOfBedlam> Then do it in character
  291. [2017-02-25 21:09:16] <maxwellelvis> "Luckily, I have just what we need..."
  292. [2017-02-25 21:09:31] <maxwellelvis> He produces a key with a skull on it.
  293. [2017-02-25 21:09:37] <maxwellelvis> "A SKELETON key!"
  294. [2017-02-25 21:10:05] <MousaThe14> "You are truly a monster with style!" The thief clapped lightly
  295. [2017-02-25 21:10:24] <maxwellelvis> "I aim to please."
  296. [2017-02-25 21:10:45] <MousaThe14> "You have ze right audience"
  297. [2017-02-25 21:11:08] <maxwellelvis> The Treater uses it on the door.
  298. [2017-02-25 21:12:19] <Mukora> Give me a Use a Gadget roll
  299. [2017-02-25 21:12:34] <maxwellelvis> (That's...?)
  300. [2017-02-25 21:12:48] <Wackd> (What I Call Music!)
  301. [2017-02-25 21:13:02] <maxwellelvis> (Oh wait, I have the sheet open with all the moves on it)
  302. [2017-02-25 21:13:19] <maxwellelvis> (6)
  303. [2017-02-25 21:14:12] <Mukora> Alright. Choose 2 negative effects
  304. [2017-02-25 21:14:29] <maxwellelvis> Okay, so the side effects will be, the device is broken beyond repair, and Armanos already knows we're here.
  305. [2017-02-25 21:15:02] <StateOfBedlam> (Well shit)
  306. [2017-02-25 21:16:17] <Mukora> (Technically I get to decide who knows you're here. It might be Armano. But we'll see)
  307. [2017-02-25 21:16:47] <maxwellelvis> (oh)
  308. [2017-02-25 21:18:15] <Mukora> So. You stick the key into the lock. You twist it, hear the tumblers click. You go to pull the key out but it's stuck. You guy at it with a little more force and it just immediately snaps in half. HALBERD tech ain't very good.

  311. [2017-02-25 21:18:46] <maxwellelvis> (GRRRRR)
  312. [2017-02-25 21:18:52] <maxwellelvis> I saw what happened, carry on)
  313. [2017-02-25 21:18:53] <StateOfBedlam> It broke so bad it sent Max out of the chat
  314. [2017-02-25 21:18:55] <Mukora> If you go to open the door after that you find that it will open, but it's gonna require a bit more force. Which is probably gonna make some noise. What do you do?
  315. [2017-02-25 21:20:29] <MousaThe14> "Sacre blew, stupid government tools, I should've conjured lockpicking tools myself."
  316. [2017-02-25 21:21:10] <maxwellelvis> "Nevermind. I'll just FORCE! IT! OPEN YOU STUPID PIECE OF CRAP!"
  317. [2017-02-25 21:21:17] <maxwellelvis> He starts kicking the door.
  318. [2017-02-25 21:21:51] <MousaThe14> "Force it gently, we don't need them to hear us!"
  319. [2017-02-25 21:21:58] <Mukora> The door bends to your whim and opens. Slamming back against the adjacent wall
  320. [2017-02-25 21:22:39] <maxwellelvis> "See? Works every time."
  321. [2017-02-25 21:22:51] <MousaThe14> "We do not have much time, someone will have heard it!" The Thief said urgently as he enters the complex with a jog
  322. [2017-02-25 21:23:09] <maxwellelvis> "Right." he rushes after the Thief
  323. [2017-02-25 21:23:41] <Mukora> Alright so where are you guys headed?
  324. [2017-02-25 21:23:55] <maxwellelvis> Private room.
  325. [2017-02-25 21:24:30] <MousaThe14> Yeah, the goal was to get to his room and to the goods.
  326. [2017-02-25 21:24:57] <MousaThe14> This is probably a good time to switch to the part, give everybody else something to do and assume we're searching
  327. [2017-02-25 21:25:29] <Mukora> Yes
  328. [2017-02-25 21:25:32] <StateOfBedlam> Is Team Part starting chronologically back when the invisible ladder was made, or just right this instant?
  329. [2017-02-25 21:25:36] <StateOfBedlam> *Team Party
  330. [2017-02-25 21:25:52] <StateOfBedlam> Stairs
  331. [2017-02-25 21:25:54] <StateOfBedlam> Not ladder
  332. [2017-02-25 21:26:12] <Mukora> Before yeah
  333. [2017-02-25 21:26:33] <Mukora> So. Y'all pull up to the party. Are you in Alexis's limo? Or something else?
  334. [2017-02-25 21:27:05] <StateOfBedlam> Alright. So the five henchpeople show up separately as two pairs and one single guest. They don't appear to be with us.
  335. [2017-02-25 21:27:25] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis comes in the limo. I imagine Tess is with her but that's not up to me.
  336. [2017-02-25 21:27:33] <Mukora> Tess?
  337. [2017-02-25 21:30:28] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis is in a tux that's the same colors as her main suit. But without the jacket bit itself being red, so it's a slightly subtler arrangement.
  338. [2017-02-25 21:32:16] <Wackd> Tess is wearing a sparkly turquoise suit.
  339. [2017-02-25 21:33:00] <Mukora> Is she in the limo?
  340. [2017-02-25 21:33:07] <Wackd> Yes.
  341. [2017-02-25 21:33:49] <StateOfBedlam> Alright Alexis gets out then I suppose.
  342. [2017-02-25 21:34:35] <Wackd> "You want me to follow, or look like I have my own business here?"
  343. [2017-02-25 21:34:49] <Mukora> Alright cool so the two of you roll up on this party. Lots of rich people are greeting each other outside. Two bouncers flank the condo entrance.
  344. [2017-02-25 21:35:16] <StateOfBedlam> "Do you have a preference? I'm kind of winging it from here."
  345. [2017-02-25 21:35:59] <Wackd> "I was thinking we could split up. Maybe try and...strategically mingle? Keep our friends on the roof from being intercepted."
  346. [2017-02-25 21:36:40] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis smiles. "Alright. Would you like to go in first or shall I?"
  347. [2017-02-25 21:37:26] <Wackd> Tess leaps out of the limo.
  348. [2017-02-25 21:40:29] <Mukora> So you just strolls up to the door?
  349. [2017-02-25 21:40:35] <Wackd> Yep.
  350. [2017-02-25 21:41:53] <Mukora> As you approach the door, one of the bouncers. Who looks like... Have you ever like. Seen John Cena in a suit?
  351. [2017-02-25 21:42:16] <Mukora> Anyway he stops you and holds out his hand "Invitation or resident pass please."
  352. [2017-02-25 21:42:39] <StateOfBedlam> JOHN CENAAAA
  353. [2017-02-25 21:42:43] <Wackd> (We did get, like, fake invites, right?)
  354. [2017-02-25 21:42:45] <StateOfBedlam> (Someone had to do it)
  355. [2017-02-25 21:43:21] <Mukora> (Yes)
  356. [2017-02-25 21:43:29] <maxwellelvis> (Mukora: I have. It somehow makes him look more like a superhero)
  357. [2017-02-25 21:43:32] <Mukora> (You both have invitations)
  358. [2017-02-25 21:43:47] <Wackd> I display mine.
  359. [2017-02-25 21:43:57] <StateOfBedlam> http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/bg/John+Cena+is+seen+at+LAX+O5yJkr8kPIYl.jpg Tell me it's a plaid suit like this one
  360. [2017-02-25 21:44:45] <Mukora> Well now it is
  361. [2017-02-25 21:45:24] <Mukora> He takes the invitation and runs a handheld scanner over it. He checks the result then hands the invite back to you. "Have a nice evening."
  362. [2017-02-25 21:45:49] <StateOfBedlam> I wait about five seconds and walk up.
  363. [2017-02-25 21:46:58] <Mukora> He takes you through the same song and dance with the same results. "Have a nice evening."
  364. [2017-02-25 21:47:06] <Wackd> "I will, thanks."
  365. [2017-02-25 21:47:42] <Wackd> I walk into the party and try to find someone both interesting and nearby the target--though not TOO close. Maybe blocking a stairwell or something.\
  366. [2017-02-25 21:52:10] <Mukora> So the interior of this building is like. Really expensive. The floor is made of marble so shiny you could use it to deflect lasers. The walls are adorned with gold trim.
  367. [2017-02-25 21:53:18] <Mukora> When you enter the ballroom the party is being hosted in it's more of the same. There's a lounge area the the left of you. And a balcony up above. You see Armano there. The stairs up are visible, but guarded.
  368. [2017-02-25 21:54:43] <Mukora> There are a few people near the stairs, exploring the buffet tables.
  369. [2017-02-25 21:54:45] <Wackd> (I wanna make it clear to you right now that you've now made it inevitable that someone, at some time, will actually use the marble floors for their metaphorical purpose)
  370. [2017-02-25 21:55:09] <StateOfBedlam> (I was going to check if Delphid has lasers in a second)
  371. [2017-02-25 21:56:07] <Wackd> I walk up to a person at random. "Hey."
  372. [2017-02-25 21:57:04] <Mukora> The person, a small older black lady turns around "Oh hello. Isn't the place marvelous?"
  373. [2017-02-25 21:57:45] <StateOfBedlam> (the guarded stairs are to the balcony or from the balcony to further up?)
  374. [2017-02-25 21:57:52] <Wackd> "It is. But not, I suspect, as marvelous as you."
  375. [2017-02-25 21:58:01] <Mukora> (to the balcony)
  376. [2017-02-25 21:58:28] <StateOfBedlam> (so where is Tess talking to this person?)
  377. [2017-02-25 21:58:47] <Mukora> She laughs "Oh my. You youngsters are so brazen. Don't let my wife catch you saying things like that"
  378. [2017-02-25 21:59:12] <Mukora> (there is a buffet table on either side of the room not far from the stairs)
  379. [2017-02-25 21:59:24] <Wackd> "I'm sorry. I can stop if I'm making you uncomfortable."
  380. [2017-02-25 21:59:46] <StateOfBedlam> Alright, Alexis walks directly to the bottom of the stairs where the guards are.
  381. [2017-02-25 21:59:54] <Mukora> (also here is a drawing of Armano I did a few days ago) https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/rEERzrzr/IMG_20170222_142415.jpg
  382. [2017-02-25 22:00:07] <StateOfBedlam> (nice!)
  383. [2017-02-25 22:00:31] <Mukora> She laughs and pats your arm "No dear it's fine. You just have to say those things in polite company"
  384. [2017-02-25 22:01:19] <Mukora> So before we go over to Alexis is there anything specific you want to get from chatting up this old lady or are you just blending in?
  385. [2017-02-25 22:04:56] <Wackd> Just blending in.
  386. [2017-02-25 22:05:25] <Wackd> You can hop over to Alexis if you want. \
  387. [2017-02-25 22:05:46] <Mukora> Alright
  388. [2017-02-25 22:06:17] <Mukora> So Alexis you walk up to the guards and the immediately step together "Sorry ma'am. This area is for VIPs only"
  389. [2017-02-25 22:07:10] <StateOfBedlam> "Please tell Mr. Frances that Alexis Moran is here. 'Owner of the Fire and Gold Casino and various others' Alexis Moran."
  390. [2017-02-25 22:08:54] <Mukora> Give me a Sweet Talk roll
  391. [2017-02-25 22:09:05] <Mukora> That's plus Guile
  392. [2017-02-25 22:09:52] <StateOfBedlam> Actually this seems like the time to figure out how my Suggestion power (also Guile) is going to work
  393. [2017-02-25 22:10:27] <Mukora> Alright
  394. [2017-02-25 22:11:42] <Mukora> Do you mean mechanically or fictionally?
  395. [2017-02-25 22:11:51] <StateOfBedlam> Mechanically
  396. [2017-02-25 22:12:05] <StateOfBedlam> So my thinking has been that Use Your Powers roles replace Sweet Talk roles in some way, but beyond that I'm not clear
  397. [2017-02-25 22:13:15] <StateOfBedlam> See I'm not sure if that's actually a greater advantage even. I'm not sure.
  398. [2017-02-25 22:13:36] <Mukora> Yeah that's basically how it works. You just roll +guile and use the results from the Powers move. Unless you choose the negative effect of it acting as if you had rolled a miss on the move it's replacing.
  399. [2017-02-25 22:14:44] <StateOfBedlam> So I guess I'll just roll it now
  400. [2017-02-25 22:15:22] <StateOfBedlam> ...6
  401. [2017-02-25 22:17:24] <Mukora> Alright so choose two negative effects
  402. [2017-02-25 22:20:18] <StateOfBedlam> So if one of my options is "Act as if you’ve gotten a miss on the roll this is replacing", that means if I made this as a Sweet Talk roll I would be at less of a disadvantage. So using my power that's supposed to make me more persuasive made me more boned than if I just used a non-superpower persuasion attempt.
  403. [2017-02-25 22:22:00] <Mukora> Uh. Well in theory. Like if you failed a Sweet Talk roll there's no chance of you getting what you want. If you fail this roll depending on what you pick there is still a chance. Though you're right it does feel kinda weird. I'll talk to Inbar about it
  404. [2017-02-25 22:22:14] <StateOfBedlam> We can do it that way this time but that seems like a flaw that needs to be worked out.
  405. [2017-02-25 22:22:23] <Mukora> Yeah fair
  406. [2017-02-25 22:23:21] <StateOfBedlam> Alright so the sweet talk fail + I've offended them on top of that?
  407. [2017-02-25 22:24:00] <Mukora> Sure
  408. [2017-02-25 22:25:38] <Mukora> The guard reaches for his earpiece "Hey boss. Someone named Alexis Moran wants to see you... Yeah. Yes. I know. Sorry. It won't happen again," he glares at you "Mr. Frances says he's never met you in his life. You're lucky he's letting you stay at this party at all. Scram."
  409. [2017-02-25 22:26:30] <StateOfBedlam> Alexis glares for a moment before adopting an "I'm better than you anyway" composure and walking toward the lounge.
  410. [2017-02-25 22:30:49] <Mukora> As you walk away, you notice something out of the corner of your eye. A guard on the other side of the room is wobbling away from his post. If you look closely, he looks a bit green. Tess, you probably notice this too. He sort of staggers toward the bathrooms.
  411. [2017-02-25 22:33:55] <StateOfBedlam> Tess can check it out. Alexis goes to the lounge and takes a drink from one of the waiters carrying drinks and hor d'oeuvres around. Assuming that's going on.
  412. [2017-02-25 22:35:25] <Mukora> That is going on. What's Alexis's drink of choice?
  413. [2017-02-25 22:35:45] <StateOfBedlam> Some wine.
  414. [2017-02-25 22:36:09] <Wackd> Tess makes her excuses and goes after the green guard.
  415. [2017-02-25 22:37:23] <Mukora> You follow him into the bathroom. You hear him just making the worst sounds of pain. He ducks into a toilet stall without noticing you. What do you do?
  416. [2017-02-25 22:39:26] <Wackd> "Uh," I drop my voice and try to look a bit more manly. "You okay in there, buddy?"
  417. [2017-02-25 22:41:01] <Mukora> He groans "ARGH... I'm... Gah... Fine... RRRRRR"
  418. [2017-02-25 22:41:18] <Mukora> "Go... Away... Please..."
  419. [2017-02-25 22:41:50] <Wackd> She shrugs. "You insist." She leaves.
  420. [2017-02-25 22:42:05] <Wackd> Actually, no.
  421. [2017-02-25 22:42:13] <Wackd> She makes leaving sounds and then hides behind a door.
  422. [2017-02-25 22:42:19] <maxwellelvis> (That's probably so far the most effec-oh)
  423. [2017-02-25 22:42:33] <Mukora> Alright
  424. [2017-02-25 22:42:35] <maxwellelvis> (I was going to say that's the difference between the heroes and our characters here)
  425. [2017-02-25 22:43:12] <Mukora> You hear him continue to make pained noises for a few minutes. And then the stall door bursts open
  426. [2017-02-25 22:43:22] <StateOfBedlam> (Meaning?)
  427. [2017-02-25 22:43:53] <Mukora> You hear a low growl and the stall itself lifts up and is thrown against the wall. A hulking beast stands where it was.
  428. [2017-02-25 22:43:59] <maxwellelvis> (Meaning our hero characters would have put up more fuss in trying to see what is the matter)
  429. [2017-02-25 22:44:39] <StateOfBedlam> (That observation probably still stands)
  430. [2017-02-25 22:44:45] <Mukora> Aaaand let's get back to how Silent Thief and Trick-Or-Treater are doing
  431. [2017-02-25 22:45:32] <Mukora> So
  432. [2017-02-25 22:46:00] <Mukora> Y'all have been wandering the halls looking for the private room.
  433. [2017-02-25 22:48:01] <Mukora> How have you been doing that? Have you been just opening the doors one by one?
  434. [2017-02-25 22:50:39] <MousaThe14> Basically
  435. [2017-02-25 22:51:19] <MousaThe14> Though the Thief has also been looking to see if there are valuable works of art in the building to potentially pilfer as they leave
  436. [2017-02-25 22:52:37] <Mukora> Alright
  437. [2017-02-25 22:53:45] <Mukora> So. You wander the halls for a while until eventually you come to a door that appears to go to a room that's much bigger than the rest. It's locked, and has a retinal scanner next to it.
  438. [2017-02-25 22:53:50] <Mukora> What do you do?
  439. [2017-02-25 22:55:13] <MousaThe14> Does the door have a keyhole
  440. [2017-02-25 22:55:32] <maxwellelvis> The Trick-or-Treater pulls out a foil-wrapped chocolate eyeball. The foil is a match for Armano's iris.
  441. [2017-02-25 22:55:46] <MousaThe14> "What iz that?"
  442. [2017-02-25 22:56:06] <maxwellelvis> "Plan 'A', my good man."
  443. [2017-02-25 22:56:24] <maxwellelvis> He holds the chocolate ball in front of the retinal scanner.
  444. [2017-02-25 22:59:01] <StateOfBedlam> (is that the other HALBERD Gear?)
  445. [2017-02-25 22:59:09] <Mukora> ... I wanna call bullshit but you know what this is funny. Give me a Use a Gadget roll though.
  446. [2017-02-25 23:00:05] <maxwellelvis> (13!)
  447. [2017-02-25 23:00:16] <StateOfBedlam> (hahhaha)
  448. [2017-02-25 23:00:37] <maxwellelvis> (Life is good)
  449. [2017-02-25 23:01:40] <Mukora> The scanner... uh... Scans the chocolate eye and beeps. "Welcome home Mister Frances." And the door creaks open
  450. [2017-02-25 23:02:18] <maxwellelvis> "Heh heh heh heh..."
  451. [2017-02-25 23:02:48] <MousaThe14> "I cannot believe that worked. I am impressed! You ar truly the trickiest of treaters!"
  452. [2017-02-25 23:03:59] <maxwellelvis> "Of course."
  453. [2017-02-25 23:04:24] <Mukora> As the door opens you hear footsteps coming up the stairs to your left
  454. [2017-02-25 23:05:07] <Mukora> "I dunno. Someone said the roof door was compromised. It was probably just some randy kids going to make out but I still have to have a look... Yeah alright"
  455. [2017-02-25 23:05:30] <maxwellelvis> Is he coming this way?
  456. [2017-02-25 23:06:07] <Mukora> You definitely hear the steps getting closer.
  457. [2017-02-25 23:06:20] <Mukora> You have time to duck into the room
  458. [2017-02-25 23:06:31] <maxwellelvis> I do so.
  459. [2017-02-25 23:06:47] <MousaThe14> We do, and close the door behind us
  460. [2017-02-25 23:08:31] <Mukora> The door clicks shut behind you and you find yourself immediately assaulted with the smell of... Really bad cologne?
  461. [2017-02-25 23:09:21] <Mukora> The room itself looks like you fell into a time portal back into the seventies. What carpeting, gaudy wallpaper, beads. The bed is in the center of the room and of course has leopard print blankets
  462. [2017-02-25 23:10:19] <StateOfBedlam> (my god)
  463. [2017-02-25 23:10:37] <MousaThe14> The thief immediately grabs his nose "People think I have bad taste. They clearly have not met this man. Or a Picasso buyer."
  464. [2017-02-25 23:11:09] <MousaThe14> (Is Armano, in fact, Austin Powers)
  465. [2017-02-25 23:11:20] <StateOfBedlam> (or... Glen Quagmire?)
  466. [2017-02-25 23:11:35] <maxwellelvis> The Trick-or-Treater takes a sudden interest in the plastic smell of his mask.
  467. [2017-02-25 23:11:44] <Mukora> (I'm offended)
  468. [2017-02-25 23:12:16] <Mukora> So. You're in this room. Assuming you can survive the smell what do you do?
  469. [2017-02-25 23:12:18] <MousaThe14> (Or The Todd (For all you Scrubs fans at home))
  470. [2017-02-25 23:12:40] <StateOfBedlam> (Offended by which thing)
  471. [2017-02-25 23:12:51] <MousaThe14> The Thief begins to scan to the room for valuables or anything resembling a secret door
  472. [2017-02-25 23:12:54] <maxwellelvis> "Okay, find that safe and let's crack it open so we can get out of The Land That Fashion Forgot"
  473. [2017-02-25 23:13:16] <MousaThe14> He looks at all the usual subjects, behind paintings, underneath the bed, grabs lamps to check for secret doors, that kind of thing
  474. [2017-02-25 23:15:47] <Mukora> I'm trying to decide if this is an Examine the Chessboard or a Use Knowledge Roll. I thiiiiink Use Knowledge. And one of you can assist
  475. [2017-02-25 23:16:29] <maxwellelvis> (I've got 1 Cunning)
  476. [2017-02-25 23:16:51] <MousaThe14> (So do I)
  477. [2017-02-25 23:17:06] <maxwellelvis> (I'll do the assist)
  478. [2017-02-25 23:17:08] <MousaThe14> (I guess I'll roll it)
  479. [2017-02-25 23:17:24] <maxwellelvis> (Add +1 from me)
  480. [2017-02-25 23:17:27] <MousaThe14> (Well, that hurt)
  481. [2017-02-25 23:17:35] <MousaThe14> (Nothin' doin' mate)
  482. [2017-02-25 23:17:50] <maxwellelvis> (I'll try now)
  483. [2017-02-25 23:17:54] <MousaThe14> (Nothin' doin'. You can't fix a 3)
  484. [2017-02-25 23:18:23] <maxwellelvis> (I rolled an 11. Should I save that for our next move or...?)
  485. [2017-02-25 23:19:41] <Mukora> (No you can use that. You'll just also have to deal with any negative effects from Mousas roll)
  486. [2017-02-25 23:19:48] <Mukora> So!
  487. [2017-02-25 23:19:50] <maxwellelvis> (Ah)
  488. [2017-02-25 23:23:59] <Mukora> As the two of you search the room, you find a couple things. Trick-Or-Treater, you find the safe. Hidden under the bed. You also find that it's connected to a password input device that is literally right on the nightstand. Silent Thief, you find something a bit more odd. The bedroom has a connecting bathroom, and in it you find a pile of ash.
  489. [2017-02-25 23:25:58] <maxwellelvis> "Found it!"
  490. [2017-02-25 23:26:04] <MousaThe14> "I see see why this room stinks, this hero zero loves to smoke," The Thief says as he give it a closer look
  491. [2017-02-25 23:27:14] <Mukora> As you get closer, you feel your weight quickly drop. If you look down, you'll see that the bathroom tile you just stepped on has been pushed into the floor
  492. [2017-02-25 23:29:01] <Mukora> What do you do?
  493. [2017-02-25 23:29:45] <MousaThe14> Jump back instinctively with a little squeak noice
  494. [2017-02-25 23:30:11] <MousaThe14> He looks around and hoops he didn't activate a thing
  495. [2017-02-25 23:33:32] <Mukora> The bathroom ceiling opens up and a laser cannon emerges like a horrifying butterfly. It's aimed directly at you. What do you do?
  496. [2017-02-25 23:36:52] <MousaThe14> Waves at the cannon on a friendly -pacifying manner but is actually erecting an invisible wall.
  497. [2017-02-25 23:37:39] <Mukora> Roll to use your powers
  498. [2017-02-25 23:38:47] <MousaThe14> (12)
  499. [2017-02-25 23:40:02] <Mukora> You erect your invisible wall just as the canon fires a stream of energy directly at your face. It bounces off your invisible wall and back at the cannon, causing it to explode
  500. [2017-02-25 23:40:17] <maxwellelvis> "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
  501. [2017-02-25 23:42:53] <MousaThe14> "Ze bathroom has a trick floor!" The Silent Thief cried
  502. [2017-02-25 23:43:42] <maxwellelvis> "Great! Just great."
  503. [2017-02-25 23:43:56] <MousaThe14> "He must really not like having guests using his toilet," He said with a shy shrug
  504. [2017-02-25 23:44:23] <MousaThe14> "So you say you find the safe? Let's open zat before anyone notices anything"
  505. [2017-02-25 23:44:44] <maxwellelvis> "Yeah, funny thing, it's got a password lock."
  506. [2017-02-25 23:45:10] <maxwellelvis> "We could be typing away at this thing until his NEXT party and we'd probably come no closer to solving it."
  507. [2017-02-25 23:45:23] <StateOfBedlam> (How many characters does the password lock allow for? ie. letters, numbers)
  508. [2017-02-25 23:46:15] <Mukora> It requires 4 unique digits
  509. [2017-02-25 23:46:35] <Mukora> The keypad only has numbers on it
  510. [2017-02-25 23:46:35] <maxwellelvis> Well, that narrows it down a bit.
  511. [2017-02-25 23:46:57] <MousaThe14> "Well if we can't open it zen we take the safe and figure it out later. What size was it?"
  512. [2017-02-25 23:47:14] <StateOfBedlam> (1337. 6969. 1984.)
  513. [2017-02-25 23:47:30] <maxwellelvis> (No repeating digits)
  514. [2017-02-25 23:47:36] <Mukora> The safe is set into the floor
  515. [2017-02-25 23:47:47] <maxwellelvis> "It's in the floor."
  516. [2017-02-25 23:48:22] <StateOfBedlam> (Oh, 4 unique)
  517. [2017-02-25 23:48:54] <maxwellelvis> "Give me a second to think this over."
  518. [2017-02-25 23:49:08] <StateOfBedlam> (1234)
  519. [2017-02-25 23:50:18] <StateOfBedlam> (42601 without the 1)
  520. [2017-02-25 23:50:31] <StateOfBedlam> (I mean 24601)
  521. [2017-02-25 23:50:55] <MousaThe14> "Well what iz the floor made of? If it is wood I can cut it!"
  522. [2017-02-25 23:52:08] <maxwellelvis> "Underneath all this shag? Let me look."
  523. [2017-02-25 23:52:08] <Mukora> So. I'm not gonna just give you the password. But one of you can roll plus cunning. Depending on the roll I'll give you a hint
  524. [2017-02-25 23:54:48] <Mukora> Also the floor appears to be made of concrete
  525. [2017-02-25 23:56:15] <maxwellelvis> (I'll roll cunning)
  526. [2017-02-25 23:56:35] <maxwellelvis> (11!)
  527. [2017-02-25 23:56:41] <Mukora> Cool
  528. [2017-02-25 23:57:03] <Mukora> So here's your hint: The password is very hot
  529. [2017-02-25 23:59:53] <Mukora> Actually that's a bad hint for an 11.
  530. [2017-02-26 00:00:07] <Mukora> Uh... It's the temperature at which something burns
  531. [2017-02-26 00:00:52] <StateOfBedlam> (Burns specifically? Not evaporates?)
  532. [2017-02-26 00:01:09] <maxwellelvis> (Flash point, right. Of what?)
  533. [2017-02-26 00:02:46] <StateOfBedlam> (http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/fuels-ignition-temperatures-d_171.html uh. Some of these are 4 digits)
  534. [2017-02-26 00:02:46] <Mukora> If Mousa also rolls I can give you a clarifying answer
  535. [2017-02-26 00:02:57] <MousaThe14> (I'll do it. Cunning, right?)
  536. [2017-02-26 00:03:42] <Mukora> Yeah
  537. [2017-02-26 00:03:43] <MousaThe14> (Oh, an 8. That's the partial success zone)
  538. [2017-02-26 00:04:25] <Mukora> The temperature at which things made of paper burn.
  539. [2017-02-26 00:04:38] <Mukora> (I'll also not that this hint isn't literal)
  540. [2017-02-26 00:04:49] <StateOfBedlam> but that's three digits
  541. [2017-02-26 00:05:02] <StateOfBedlam> so i guess you use a 0
  542. [2017-02-26 00:05:16] <maxwellelvis> "Hmm..."
  543. [2017-02-26 00:05:20] <maxwellelvis> "What if we try this?"
  544. [2017-02-26 00:05:22] <StateOfBedlam> here i was looking up four digit ignition temperatures
  545. [2017-02-26 00:05:23] <MousaThe14> (Farenheight or celsius)
  546. [2017-02-26 00:05:30] <MousaThe14> (Is the answer in kelvins)
  547. [2017-02-26 00:05:33] <maxwellelvis> 0-4-5-1
  548. [2017-02-26 00:05:54] <Mukora> You hear the sound of a safe opening underneath the bed
  549. [2017-02-26 00:06:23] <maxwellelvis> "HA HA HA!"
  550. [2017-02-26 00:06:47] <Mukora> (So I'm gonna admit immediately that this was probably. Not a great way to resolve this but whatever. Let's just say Trick-Or-Treater found a copy of Farenheit 451 on a shelf)
  551. [2017-02-26 00:07:02] <StateOfBedlam> (in-fiction how did he figure that out? prior research that Frances is obsessed with "fragile as paper" metaphots or soneth- oh)
  552. [2017-02-26 00:07:45] <StateOfBedlam> (OH THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED THAT))
  553. [2017-02-26 00:08:01] <maxwellelvis> "Alright, let's grab the loot and split, and then we shower for a month straight!"
  554. [2017-02-26 00:08:31] <MousaThe14> (... Wait, that's why that book is called that?)
  555. [2017-02-26 00:08:54] <StateOfBedlam> ("But then you realize the Spaceclaw is not there! There's a map and a key!")
  556. [2017-02-26 00:09:14] <MousaThe14> "No need, this room will not rub off on me," The thief said smugly. "But az they say, exist stage left!" And they abscond, presumably
  557. [2017-02-26 00:09:43] <StateOfBedlam> (it DOES involve book burning)
  558. [2017-02-26 00:10:17] <Mukora> So in the safe you find. Well, first, of course, the Spaceclaw. Second, you find like. A buuuuunch of vials of some sort of... Liquid. It's not labelled so you can't really tell what it is.
  559. [2017-02-26 00:10:37] <StateOfBedlam> (I have a guess: dangerous)
  560. [2017-02-26 00:10:42] <StateOfBedlam> (dangerous might be what it is)
  561. [2017-02-26 00:10:54] <Mukora> (that's probably a good guess)
  562. [2017-02-26 00:11:05] <MousaThe14> (The thief pockets the vials out of curiosity)
  563. [2017-02-26 00:11:20] <maxwellelvis> The Treater stuffs the Spaceclaw in his pail.
  564. [2017-02-26 00:12:21] <Mukora> You both leave the room and... Immediately bump into a woman in a guards uniform. She glances between you and the door you just left. "Hey..."
  565. [2017-02-26 00:12:28] <Mukora> What do you do?
  566. [2017-02-26 00:14:00] <MousaThe14> "Good evening mademoiselle, excuse us, we took a wrong a turn to ze bathroom, you know how it is," He says as he doffs his beret and keeps walking
  567. [2017-02-26 00:15:02] <Mukora> Give me a Sweet Talk roll
  568. [2017-02-26 00:16:15] <MousaThe14> (Snake eyes)
  569. [2017-02-26 00:16:47] <maxwellelvis> (I don't think that's ever happened before.)
  570. [2017-02-26 00:16:58] <Mukora> "Yeah uh... That's bullshit. You're coming with me," she grabs you both by the arms
  571. [2017-02-26 00:17:28] <maxwellelvis> "Let GO of me!"
  572. [2017-02-26 00:17:34] <maxwellelvis> He swing at her with his pail
  573. [2017-02-26 00:18:18] <MousaThe14> "I am so sorry," He materializes a baton in his free hand and swings at her stomach
  574. [2017-02-26 00:18:52] <Mukora> Alright. One of you give me a Get Them roll and the other assist.
  575. [2017-02-26 00:19:06] <maxwellelvis> (Who's got the better Muscle?)
  576. [2017-02-26 00:19:56] <MousaThe14> (-1 is anti muscle)
  577. [2017-02-26 00:20:10] <MousaThe14> (What have you got?)
  578. [2017-02-26 00:20:13] <maxwellelvis> (0
  579. [2017-02-26 00:20:14] <maxwellelvis> )
  580. [2017-02-26 00:20:26] <MousaThe14> (instantly better than me. I'll be the assist)
  581. [2017-02-26 00:20:31] <maxwellelvis> (K)
  582. [2017-02-26 00:20:41] <maxwellelvis> 9
  583. [2017-02-26 00:23:08] <Mukora> (Mousa got a 7?)
  584. [2017-02-26 00:23:25] <maxwellelvis> (Yeah, for some reason he rolled)
  585. [2017-02-26 00:24:19] <StateOfBedlam> (Down the hill, and Jill came tumbling after)
  586. [2017-02-26 00:24:23] <Mukora> (Oh wait. No, Mousa rolling Assist is plus your bonds. It's not the same as the move youre assisting)
  587. [2017-02-26 00:24:49] <Mukora> (so that would be an 8)
  588. [2017-02-26 00:26:05] <maxwellelvis> (Okay, for Positive, I'll say we get the guard out of the battle, and for Negative, something breaks that wasn't supposed to break)
  589. [2017-02-26 00:26:39] <Mukora> (Well Mousa succeeded on Assisting so you got a 10. Which means two positives and no negatives)
  590. [2017-02-26 00:26:46] <StateOfBedlam> (like a bone or like an alarm triggering wall ornament?)
  591. [2017-02-26 00:27:04] <maxwellelvis> (Roman: I was thinking the Spaceclaw)
  592. [2017-02-26 00:27:07] <maxwellelvis> (Oh.)
  593. [2017-02-26 00:27:27] <StateOfBedlam> (nNNNOOoooo that would've been really bad)
  594. [2017-02-26 00:27:33] <maxwellelvis> (Then I take something small from them and remove the guard from the battle)
  595. [2017-02-26 00:28:09] <Mukora> Alright
  596. [2017-02-26 00:28:19] <MousaThe14> (Awesome, well I say we successfully leave her lying on the ground, groaning in moderate pain wishing she got a better day job and we merrily skip away hand in hand)
  597. [2017-02-26 00:28:58] <maxwellelvis> (I'd say we should tie her up and gag her, but I don't think we brought rope or a gag)
  598. [2017-02-26 00:29:20] <maxwellelvis> And I loot her walkie-talkie or whatever from her.
  599. [2017-02-26 00:29:42] <maxwellelvis> "How do you like that? We didn't even need that stupid dolphin's help."
  600. [2017-02-26 00:29:46] <Mukora> So. You both swing at this poor defenseless guard. She goes for her gun but is too late as both the Trick-Or-Treater's surprisingly heavy pail and Silent Thief's baton make contact with her body. She crumples to the floor and... Well okay sure you get the walkie talkie.
  601. [2017-02-26 00:30:07] <maxwellelvis> (What WERE you going to say?)
  602. [2017-02-26 00:30:57] <StateOfBedlam> (Cracking jokes about this very-Delphid-heavy mission, are you?)
  603. [2017-02-26 00:31:07] <Mukora> (youll never knooooow)
  604. [2017-02-26 00:31:35] <Mukora> So. Speaking of which
  605. [2017-02-26 00:32:00] <Mukora> Hey General Delphid you've been waiting for a while
  606. [2017-02-26 00:32:26] <Mukora> How have you been hiding your time?
  607. [2017-02-26 00:32:32] <Mukora> *biding
  608. [2017-02-26 00:33:50] <Zarek> Mostly standing around grumpily. Idly lasering nearby fish. Like a minute away from actually checking on the communicators for a status update.
  609. [2017-02-26 00:34:26] <StateOfBedlam> (lasers confirmed. Marble floor waiting)
  610. [2017-02-26 00:35:53] <Mukora> Well good news. Your communicator crackles to life and you hear Sanderson's voice on the other end. It's kinda cutting in and out since you're underwater. "D...phid! Gen..al Delphid!"
  611. [2017-02-26 00:36:42] <StateOfBedlam> (is that because the sound is having trouble traveling through the water or is it just not waterproof?)
  612. [2017-02-26 00:37:47] <Zarek> (Assuming these work basically like walkie-talkies) Delphid presses the communicator with one of her claws and says "Speak, tiny human!"
  613. [2017-02-26 00:37:57] <Mukora> (Little bit of both)
  614. [2017-02-26 00:38:07] <StateOfBedlam> (Very much noted)
  615. [2017-02-26 00:40:15] <Mukora> "Some...s gone wrong. We g... ports from one... our men on the scene. There's a... at the party!"
  616. [2017-02-26 00:41:18] <StateOfBedlam> (The very first thing a communicator does besides drug someone or explode is fail to communicate information efficiently.)
  617. [2017-02-26 00:41:50] <Wackd> (That's our HALBERD!)
  618. [2017-02-26 00:41:56] <Zarek> "Am I to take this as a suggestion to commence my own involvement?" she says, already trudging through the water towards the shore.
  619. [2017-02-26 00:42:29] <Mukora> The only response you get is static
  620. [2017-02-26 00:42:42] <maxwellelvis> (Apropos music? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T1LB1WhKeA )
  621. [2017-02-26 00:42:59] <Zarek> "Good enough."
  622. [2017-02-26 00:43:31] <Mukora> Aaaaaand back to the party
  623. [2017-02-26 00:43:45] <StateOfBedlam> (Where the ... is!)
  624. [2017-02-26 00:43:52] <Mukora> Actually. Timezones... How much time do we have left?
  625. [2017-02-26 00:43:53] <StateOfBedlam> (Or about to be)
  626. [2017-02-26 00:44:03] <StateOfBedlam> It's 9:43 here
  627. [2017-02-26 00:44:41] <Zarek> (I mean it'd probably be best if I go to bed sooner rather than later? But I can probably go at least another hour.)
  628. [2017-02-26 00:45:21] <StateOfBedlam> (dang that's good godzilla music)
  629. [2017-02-26 00:45:41] <Mukora> (alright. I know a good way to wrap this up in a little less than that)
  630. [2017-02-26 00:47:55] <Mukora> So! Tess you are currently in the men's room facing down a monster. Who was once a man that seemed to be having an upset tummy. The beast is about 6 feet tall, hunched over and covered in pure white fur. It's face is mostly plain and featureless asode from two dark eyes. it's looking right at you. What do you do?
  631. [2017-02-26 00:48:56] <StateOfBedlam> (Send it a complimentary fruit basket)
  632. [2017-02-26 00:50:11] <StateOfBedlam> (how close is the lounge to the restroom?)
  633. [2017-02-26 00:51:03] <Mukora> (Pretty close)
  634. [2017-02-26 00:51:11] <StateOfBedlam> (Not what I hoped)
  635. [2017-02-26 00:52:45] <Mukora> (Wackd?)
  636. [2017-02-26 00:54:41] <StateOfBedlam> ( wackd )
  637. [2017-02-26 00:56:05] <Wackd> Tess tries to get behind the monster and use her arms and legs to tie up its arms and legs.
  638. [2017-02-26 00:56:05] <Wackd> Tess tries to get behind the monster and use her arms and legs to tie up its arms and legs.
  639. [2017-02-26 00:56:05] <Wackd> Tess tries to get behind the monster and use her arms and legs to tie up its arms and legs.
  640. [2017-02-26 00:56:05] <Wackd> (Hello?)
  641. [2017-02-26 00:56:05] <Wackd> (Oh goddammit not again)
  642. [2017-02-26 00:56:05] <Wackd> (Fuck)
  643. [2017-02-26 00:56:11] <Zarek> (Oh hi)
  644. [2017-02-26 00:56:14] <Zarek> (We see you now)
  645. [2017-02-26 00:56:18] <StateOfBedlam> There you are
  646. [2017-02-26 00:56:46] <Mukora> (You alright?)
  647. [2017-02-26 00:57:00] <Wackd> (I think so?)
  648. [2017-02-26 00:57:15] <Mukora> Alright. Give me a use your powers roll
  649. [2017-02-26 00:57:16] <StateOfBedlam> (We see "(I think so?)" too)
  650. [2017-02-26 00:58:21] <Wackd> (4. Yeesh)
  651. [2017-02-26 00:58:24] <StateOfBedlam> (ah)
  652. [2017-02-26 00:58:35] <StateOfBedlam> (I mean aw)
  653. [2017-02-26 01:00:07] <Mukora> (Dang. Alright choose 2 negative effects)
  654. [2017-02-26 01:00:16] <StateOfBedlam> (For near-future reference: what do you roll to use a conventional firearm)
  655. [2017-02-26 01:01:31] <Wackd> (Okay, uh. Presumably I am easily flung off, and also I am injured in some manner on account of this effort)
  656. [2017-02-26 01:01:37] <Mukora> (That would probably be Get Them)
  657. [2017-02-26 01:02:37] <Mukora> (Those aren't options on the list?)
  658. [2017-02-26 01:03:18] <StateOfBedlam> (They have to be on the list? I thought those were examples)
  659. [2017-02-26 01:04:38] <Mukora> (I... Guess they can be? I'll ask Inbar about it.)
  660. [2017-02-26 01:04:38] <StateOfBedlam> (also I can't find GET THEM except referenced by other moves)
  661. [2017-02-26 01:04:59] <Mukora> (It should be at the very top)
  662. [2017-02-26 01:05:36] <Mukora> So alright.
  663. [2017-02-26 01:05:51] <StateOfBedlam> (Oh there it is. The move titles can't be found by the Find feature because of the parantheses. There needs to be a space in between)
  664. [2017-02-26 01:06:28] <StateOfBedlam> (I can find it with "GET THEM (Muscle)" but not "get them")
  665. [2017-02-26 01:07:27] <Mukora> You wrap yourself around this beast. And at first it seems confused. It just kinda like looks around then as you start to get a grip on it it just rears back and roars tossing you against the far wall
  666. [2017-02-26 01:07:36] <Mukora> Roll to take a powerful blow
  667. [2017-02-26 01:08:25] <Mukora> Sorry sorry. Take a Terrible Blow
  668. [2017-02-26 01:08:57] <StateOfBedlam> (ok the Find feature can find it now)
  669. [2017-02-26 01:12:17] <Mukora> (heeeeey Wackd)
  670. [2017-02-26 01:12:32] <Wackd> (Sorry. What's the thing I roll for it?)
  671. [2017-02-26 01:12:38] <Mukora> (Muscle)
  672. [2017-02-26 01:13:05] <Wackd> (10)
  673. [2017-02-26 01:15:29] <Mukora> So you're thrown against the wall and it may as well have been like getting tossed against a mattress. It stings a little but you're pretty much fine
  674. [2017-02-26 01:16:43] <Mukora> The monster sits back on it haunches and starts sniffing at the air
  675. [2017-02-26 01:17:27] <Wackd> Okay. So, if it's not being especially violent at the moment, I shapeshift my hand into a collar and my arm into a leash and try to, y'know. Around its neck.
  676. [2017-02-26 01:18:08] <Mukora> Give me another Use Your Powers roll
  677. [2017-02-26 01:19:49] <Wackd> (5)
  678. [2017-02-26 01:20:10] <Mukora> (Well.)
  679. [2017-02-26 01:20:18] <Mukora> (choose two again)
  680. [2017-02-26 01:23:25] <Wackd> (The creature wanders off aaaaand....uh....steps on my arm on the way out)
  681. [2017-02-26 01:24:56] <Mukora> So you try to retrain the creature and again it just doesn't wanna have it. It whips its head back and frees itself. It growls and finally just sprints out of the bathroom, stepping on your hand along the way
  682. [2017-02-26 01:26:23] <Mukora> So Alexis you've just been kinda chilling in the lounge area I assume
  683. [2017-02-26 01:26:35] <StateOfBedlam> Yeah
  684. [2017-02-26 01:29:31] <Mukora> Alright. So the first thing you notice is. A few of the people around you do nooot looks so hot? Like. They look kinda sick. But you don't really have time to think about that as a giant furry beast explodes out of the men's restroom.
  685. [2017-02-26 01:30:26] <StateOfBedlam> I have a roll ready for shooting it but. For the moment I run.
  686. [2017-02-26 01:30:29] <Mukora> You hear people screaming and see security start to move in as the creature rears up and roars. What do you do?
  687. [2017-02-26 01:31:11] <Mukora> Alright.
  688. [2017-02-26 01:31:22] <Mukora> Where are you running to?
  689. [2017-02-26 01:31:32] <StateOfBedlam> The other side of the room.
  690. [2017-02-26 01:32:29] <StateOfBedlam> (actually maybe I need to prepare a Fight With Minions roll)
  691. [2017-02-26 01:32:38] <Mukora> Alright. As you run you hear shots being fired, and the monster continuing to just kinda scream
  692. [2017-02-26 01:33:13] <Mukora> Yeah you can do that. Your minions have presumably made their way into the party by now
  693. [2017-02-26 01:33:15] <StateOfBedlam> If I'm to the other side of the room, I turn to make sure it's security that's opening fire and not someone else.
  694. [2017-02-26 01:34:28] <Mukora> It is.
  695. [2017-02-26 01:35:06] <Mukora> Most of the guests are either running out of the room or have migrated like you. Except for the ones you saw getting sick who have all just kinda collapsed
  696. [2017-02-26 01:35:33] <StateOfBedlam> I use my non-HALBERD communicator to order my henchpeople to fire. There's 5 which counts as a "small group". So I think I think that's... 2d6+0
  697. [2017-02-26 01:36:16] <maxwellelvis> (Oh my god, I think I know what's happened here)
  698. [2017-02-26 01:36:19] <StateOfBedlam> If that's right, I got a 9
  699. [2017-02-26 01:38:40] <Mukora> Alright. So choose one positive and one negative effect from the Behold Your Power move
  700. [2017-02-26 01:38:42] <StateOfBedlam> ok partial hi
  701. [2017-02-26 01:38:43] <StateOfBedlam> hit
  702. [2017-02-26 01:40:13] <StateOfBedlam> weaken enemy + uh. unwanted attention?
  703. [2017-02-26 01:41:11] <Mukora> Alright
  704. [2017-02-26 01:43:37] <StateOfBedlam> (it's an hour since that timezone check)
  705. [2017-02-26 01:44:38] <Mukora> So. You and your goons all open fire on the creature along with the security guards. At first it doesn't seem affected. It rears up and swats a few of the guards away. Your minions continue plugging away at it and it starts to seem like it's being affected. It hunches over and covers it's head with its front legs
  706. [2017-02-26 01:45:08] * MousaThe14 → MousaTheSleeprAgent
  707. [2017-02-26 01:46:04] <Mukora> Your minions all take the opportunity to reload, and as they do you notice something moving near the lounge. One of the people who got sick is starting to get up
  708. [2017-02-26 01:46:56] <Mukora> As they do, you notice that they're sort of swelling. Their legs and arms are elongating, and their hair is starting to turn white
  709. [2017-02-26 01:47:57] <StateOfBedlam> I'm... ready for Delphid to Kool-Aid Man through the wall honestly.
  710. [2017-02-26 01:49:57] <Mukora> We cut to General Delphid, marching towards the condo. As you near the building you see people in fancy dress running past. You hear a loud roar, and down the street you see a creature with white hair and dark black eyes sprinting toward you
  711. [2017-02-26 01:50:08] <Mukora> Aaaaand scene
  712. [2017-02-26 01:50:23] <Zarek> (Noice)
  713. [2017-02-26 01:50:44] <Wackd> (Cool ending)
  714. [2017-02-26 01:51:19] <StateOfBedlam> (Max what's your speculation?)
  715. [2017-02-26 01:51:43] <Mukora> (so do we wanna do end of session questions or would y'all rather wait till next time?)
  716. [2017-02-26 01:51:58] <Wackd> (Next time)
  717. [2017-02-26 01:51:59] <Zarek> (Looking over them, I don't think any of them apply to us right now?)
  718. [2017-02-26 01:52:18] <maxwellelvis> (I think Armano's pulled a Doc Venture and laced peoples' drinks with Spanish Fly)
  719. [2017-02-26 01:52:29] <StateOfBedlam> Did we come into possession of something important
  720. [2017-02-26 01:52:35] <maxwellelvis> Yes
  721. [2017-02-26 01:52:36] <StateOfBedlam> (Oh god)
  722. [2017-02-26 01:53:10] <maxwellelvis> (That pulled into my head the instant the guests in the lounge started getting sick)
  723. [2017-02-26 01:53:54] <StateOfBedlam> Ok but I haven't gotten sick
  724. [2017-02-26 01:54:03] <StateOfBedlam> So far
  725. [2017-02-26 01:55:05] <Mukora> (does Spanish fly turn people into weird furry monsters?)
  726. [2017-02-26 01:55:17] <Zarek> (So I'm gonna go to sleep)
  727. [2017-02-26 01:55:19] <maxwellelvis> (It does if you lace it with ACTUAL fly dna)
  728. [2017-02-26 01:55:52] <Wackd> (Night Zarek!)

  730. [2017-02-26 01:56:50] <StateOfBedlam> is it me or are way more YT ads unskippable than they used to be?
  731. [2017-02-26 01:57:03] <maxwellelvis> It's not just you.
  732. [2017-02-26 01:57:08] <StateOfBedlam> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Kk7g2rD7jc anyway this is the reference
  733. [2017-02-26 01:57:24] <maxwellelvis> And they've found insidious ways to get around the skip button
  734. [2017-02-26 01:58:37] <StateOfBedlam> It's really super fucked up. They just HAPPENED to actually be assassins.
  735. [2017-02-26 01:58:40] <maxwellelvis> So, we doing XP in two weeks?
  736. [2017-02-26 02:00:56] <Mukora> Yeah.
  737. [2017-02-26 02:01:19] <maxwellelvis> K
  738. [2017-02-26 02:05:15] <StateOfBedlam> So hopefully is Armano is more scrupulous than Rusty
  739. [2017-02-26 02:05:35] <maxwellelvis> He has a death ray in his private toilet.
  740. [2017-02-26 02:06:30] <StateOfBedlam> Yeah, but perfectly nice villains do the same thing without spiking people's drinks.
  741. [2017-02-26 02:06:45] <StateOfBedlam> And he's ostensibly a hero
