  1. [17:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> The fiasco in your previous mission is currently being evaluated. In the meantime, you have been considered safe for continued missions.
  2. [17:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> So you have been dispatched to a relatively small town in Valoran.
  3. [17:10] <~DarkSunDuelist> They've been having recurring problems with a large bird of sorts.
  4. [17:11] <~DarkSunDuelist> Nobody's gotten a good look at it because it's so friggin' huge and usually leaves a gigantic dust storm in its wake, but the current assumption is that is might be an amorph.
  5. [17:11] <~DarkSunDuelist> You are to SCOUT the bird's alleged home roost and attempt to discern its nature.
  6. [17:12] <~DarkSunDuelist> You are NOT to engage it.
  7. [17:12] <~DarkSunDuelist> Preferably you will not even let it become aware of your presence.
  8. [17:14] <Meridiana> (what do we know about the alleged roost?)
  9. [17:15] <~DarkSunDuelist> It is on the far side of the mountain overlooking the town.
  10. [17:16] <Meridiana> (and could I use a science roll to attempt to build a device that records information and broadcasts it back?)
  11. [17:16] <Meridiana> (feel free to just say no, just an idea that popped into my head)
  12. [17:17] <Roth> (I can fund it, if that's an issue.)
  13. [17:18] <~DarkSunDuelist> You already have one of those.
  14. [17:18] <Meridiana> (fancy
  15. [17:21] <Meridiana> (do we have a pair of binoculars?)
  16. [17:21] <~DarkSunDuelist> You do.
  17. [17:22] <Meridiana> "Alright then, unless you can think of anything we need from around the town, let's stroll~
  18. [17:22] <Roth> "Good plan."
  19. [17:22] <Roth> "Should probably give me the binoculars, though."
  20. [17:22] <Meridiana> Sure~
  21. [17:23] * Meridiana hands over the binoculars, and begins ki detecting at regular intervals in case anything tries to sneak up on us
  22. [17:24] * Roth heads off with her, towards the supposed roost.
  23. [17:24] <Meridiana> $roll 1 d 100 +141
  24. [17:24] <%JapanBot> Meridiana rolled 157
  25. [17:25] * Jolt (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-vhspsr.war.clearwire-wmx.net) has joined #RSLV
  26. [17:25] * Jolt (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-vhspsr.war.clearwire-wmx.net) Quit (Connection closed)
  27. [17:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> You spend half the day crossing through the forest.
  28. [17:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> You now have a mountain to contend with.
  29. [17:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> It looks like there are a few paths up the mountain, or you could try going around.
  30. [17:26] <Roth> Is the roost on the mountain, or past it?
  31. [17:27] * Jolt (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-vhspsr.war.clearwire-wmx.net) has joined #RSLV
  32. [17:30] <~DarkSunDuelist> You don't know.
  33. [17:30] <Jolt> I DO INDEED NOT KNOW
  34. [17:30] <~DarkSunDuelist> You know that the roost is on the other side of the mountain.
  35. [17:31] <Jolt> ((whops))
  36. [17:31] <Meridiana> (how tall is the mountain?)
  37. [17:32] <Meridiana> (alternatively, how long would it take to summit it, roughly?)
  38. [17:34] <~DarkSunDuelist> You should reach the top in a few hours.
  39. [17:34] <Meridiana> any objections to a climb~?
  40. [17:35] <Roth> "It's a path, not very climby."
  41. [17:36] <Roth> "We'd probably go faster if we run, but I don't know how that would leave you if we run into combat."
  42. [17:37] <Meridiana> "you might be suprised at my endurance~
  43. [17:37] * Roth cracks a smile. "Let's go, then."
  44. [17:39] <Meridiana> (is this mountain forested all the way up?)
  45. [17:40] <~DarkSunDuelist> It is not.
  46. [17:40] <~DarkSunDuelist> It actually goes rocky pretty quickly.
  47. [17:42] <Meridiana> Sure, but let's slow down once we leave tree cover, and keep an eye out for Birdy~
  48. [17:42] <Roth> "Good point."
  49. [17:44] <Roth> (Onward and upward?)
  50. [17:44] <Meridiana> (works for me)
  51. [17:47] <~DarkSunDuelist> You begin scaling the mountain by way of the fairly narrow but comfortable path
  52. [17:49] <Meridiana> (Mary will turn and walk backwards every 15 seconds to scan the sky)
  53. [17:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> Your paranoia pays off. You see the bird circling the mountain.
  54. [17:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> It blots out the sun, so you can't get a good look at it.
  55. [17:51] <~DarkSunDuelist> It seems to pay you no mind, though.
  56. [17:52] <~DarkSunDuelist> Continue on, observe, do the hokey-pokey?
  57. [17:52] * Meridiana will tap Roth on the shoulder and whisper to freeze and get down next time it circles to the other side of the mountain
  58. [17:52] <Meridiana> (is it just circling aimlessly?
  59. [17:53] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roll Animals.
  60. [17:53] <Roth> $roll 1 d 100 -15
  61. [17:53] <%JapanBot> Roth rolled 45
  62. [17:53] <Meridiana> $roll 1 d 100
  63. [17:53] <%JapanBot> Meridiana rolled 71
  64. [17:56] <Meridiana> (-20 for untrained)
  65. [17:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> You can't tell.
  66. [17:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> It doesn't seem to have spotted you.
  67. [17:57] * Meridiana will hold up 5 fingers at Roth, take out a notebook, and wait here for 5 minutes and write down any observations she can make of it
  68. [17:57] * Roth hunkers down under a tree for the time being.
  69. [17:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> There are no trees. You do manage to hide under a rock shelf, though.
  70. [17:59] <Meridiana> (if it still hasn't noticed us and we haven't found any tremendously useful information after 5 minutes, we'll continue on slowly, moving when it wouldn't be looking at us
  71. [18:01] <~DarkSunDuelist> It is a large bird
  72. [18:02] <~DarkSunDuelist> That's really about it.
  73. [18:03] <Meridiana> then we continue on
  74. [18:03] <Meridiana> (though the fact that it was circling for 5 minutes without doing anything might actually be interesting information anyway)
  75. [18:06] <Meridiana> (and actually, let's circle around the mountain instead of summiting it, since it's actually circling the mountain)
  76. [18:07] <Roth> "Are you sure? From the top, I can get a better look at the area where we think its roost is."
  77. [18:07] <~DarkSunDuelist> You have already started summitting the mountain. Will you climb down and start circling the mountain again?
  78. [18:07] <~DarkSunDuelist> You are approximately halfway up the mountain. It will take you about 2 hours to get back down.
  79. [18:09] <Meridiana> (no, I mean just moving laterally across the mountain)
  80. [18:09] <Meridiana> "I'd be worried that there's not a lot of cover up top, we'd be much easier to see~"
  81. [18:10] <~DarkSunDuelist> You begin scaling the mountain.
  82. [18:10] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roll acrobatics.
  83. [18:10] <Roth> "If it cared about seing us, we'd be dead already."
  84. [18:10] <Roth> "Or fighting it at last."
  85. [18:11] <Roth> (*least)
  86. [18:12] <Meridiana> (can I just use weight elimination to move from flat spot to flat spot? doesn't cost any ki as long as I'm not sustaining it across turns)
  87. [18:12] <~DarkSunDuelist> You may
  88. [18:13] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roth will still need to roll.
  89. [18:13] <Meridiana> "hm, fair, but let's angle right and up when we can, so we can see the rest of the mountain before we summit~"
  90. [18:13] <Roth> $roll 1 d 100 -20
  91. [18:13] <%JapanBot> Roth rolled -12
  92. [18:13] <Meridiana> (can I sort of shadow him as he moves to catch him if I have to?)
  93. [18:13] <Roth> (Why acrobatics, anyway?)
  94. [18:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> Because you have to carefully scale a rock face.
  95. [18:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> And because I don't have the abilities list memorized
  96. [18:17] <Meridiana> roth would probably have a better climb bonus
  97. [18:17] <Roth> nope, equal
  98. [18:17] <Roth> They're both agility and untrained.
  99. [18:22] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roll it
  100. [18:24] <Roth> (I did?)
  101. [18:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> Oh, hurr
  102. [18:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> You slip and catch a rock
  103. [18:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> You manage to pull yourself up afterwards, but you got banged up in the fall
  104. [18:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> You continue scaling the wall without incident until you get to the other side of the cliff.
  105. [18:27] <Meridiana> (any sign of the nest?)
  106. [18:27] <~DarkSunDuelist> You find an incredibly large nest in the valley between this mountain and two others.
  107. [18:28] * Meridiana motions to Roth to look at it with the binoculars
  108. [18:28] <Roth> I'd like to use the binoculars for a Search and Notice check.
  109. [18:28] <Roth> Well, search and notice checks.
  110. [18:30] <~DarkSunDuelist> The nest seems to be made out of trees and other such things from the surrounding area.
  111. [18:31] <~DarkSunDuelist> But roll for more results
  112. [18:31] <Roth> $roll 1 d 100 +70 Notice
  113. [18:31] <%JapanBot> Roth rolled 81
  114. [18:31] <Roth> $roll 1 d 100 +50 Search
  115. [18:31] <%JapanBot> Roth rolled 139
  116. [18:36] <~DarkSunDuelist> You spot the bird flapping down and taking roost in his nest.
  117. [18:36] <~DarkSunDuelist> There are no eggs and seemingly no signs of prospective mates.
  118. [18:37] * Meridiana motions for the binoculars
  119. [18:37] * Roth hands them over.
  120. [18:37] <Meridiana> (rolling notice, search, and ki detection)
  121. [18:37] <Meridiana> $roll 1 d 100 +23
  122. [18:37] <%JapanBot> Meridiana rolled 68
  123. [18:38] <Meridiana> $roll 1 d 100 +5
  124. [18:38] <%JapanBot> Meridiana rolled 101
  125. [18:38] <Meridiana> $roll 1 d 100
  126. [18:38] <%JapanBot> Meridiana rolled 19
  127. [18:38] <Meridiana> $roll 1 d 100 +141
  128. [18:38] <%JapanBot> Meridiana rolled 152
  129. [18:39] * Editanon_afk is now known as Editanon
  130. [18:40] <~DarkSunDuelist> The bird seems to be some sort of Amorph/Bird hybrid
  131. [18:40] <~DarkSunDuelist> It has many features of an Amorph, but is not itself an Amorph. It also doesn't seem to have the signs of possession you noted last time.
  132. [18:41] <~DarkSunDuelist> This seems to be some sort of Amorph Hybrid.
  133. [18:41] * Meridiana gestures back around and down the mountain
  134. [18:42] <Meridiana> (oh wait, what remote devices did we have again?)
  135. [18:42] * Roth nods, eager to get out of sight of the beast.
  136. [18:42] <~DarkSunDuelist> You have a small, portable camera.
  137. [18:42] <~DarkSunDuelist> You use it to snap a bunch of pictures.
  138. [18:43] <Meridiana> (ok, now we go, if there's no other stuff we have to use)
  139. [18:45] <~DarkSunDuelist> The bird seems to be looking at you as you leave, but makes no motion one way or another.
  140. [18:45] <~DarkSunDuelist> You scale down the mountain and return to the village.
  141. [18:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> You return to the academy, where they take your cameras, binoculars, and congratulate you on your work.
  142. [18:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> [END SESSION]
  143. [18:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> REWARDS:
  144. [18:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> >25 EXP each
  145. [18:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> >1200 GC
  146. [18:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> (each)
  147. [18:46] <Meridiana> yay, mission accomplished~
  148. [18:47] <Roth> lodsmone
  149. [18:47] <Roth> wot's that spell?
  150. [18:47] <Roth> LOADSAMONEY
  151. [18:47] <Roth> probly
  152. [18:47] * Meridiana is now known as RsnblDaemonette
  153. [18:47] <Roth> anywho, I must be off
  154. [18:47] * Roth is now known as Deafdefiler
  155. [18:47] <Deafdefiler> Thanks for the session, DSD
  156. [18:48] <Deafdefiler> Good stuff, and I can't wait to see where it goes.
  157. [18:48] <Deafdefiler> I mean, probably some other team taking it down, but still.
  158. [18:48] * Nekubot sets mode: +h RsnblDaemonette
