<Roo_inline[DM]> ((oops.))
<Roo_inline[DM]> --player found, connecting in 10 seconds--
* You are now known as architectingScientist
<Roo_inline[DM]> bayith, feraku, you hear a loud ping as you are auto-connected to your preffered chat messaging thingy
* Thaydean is now known as MercurialHermit
* architectingScientist began espering mercurialHermit
<architectingScientist> Bayith you are next in the chain of this game if I am correct
<MercurialHermit> Yeah I think so
<Roo_inline[DM]> --connecting in 5--
<architectingScientist> A warning before we start
<MercurialHermit> what the heck is this about anyway?
<architectingScientist> This game is dangerous
<MercurialHermit> um
<architectingScientist> It literally caused doomsday
<Roo_inline[DM]> --player found. connected--
<MercurialHermit> really now
* architectingScientist takes a picture of outside, and sends it to Bayith
<MercurialHermit> oh
<MercurialHermit> well shit
<architectingScientist> I do not know where I am
<Roo_inline[DM]> ((structure courtesy of AA))
<MercurialHermit> what the fuck is that
<Roo_inline[DM]> both your screens fade to black and a small spiral indicates a loading screen
<architectingScientist> I have no idea but I guess we are about to find out
<MercurialHermit> whatever it is, it sure ruined my sarcastic comment
<Roo_inline[DM]> Some quite epic music begins playing  (( https://soundcloud.com/joelinia/entry-music ))
<Roo_inline[DM]> and a single shifting icon appears in the middle of both of your screens (( http://skaia.io/static/img/spin.gif ))
<MercurialHermit> ok so
<Roo_inline[DM]> the game seems to be glitching out
<MercurialHermit> there's this glitchy spirograph thing?
<architectingScientist> That is normal
<Roo_inline[DM]> ((please use "" for words))
<MercurialHermit> <sry>
* Vorpas (Vorpas@c-73-251-110-45.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined
<Vorpas> hmmmm
<MercurialHermit> "so what the hell am I supposed to be doing here?"
<MercurialHermit> <Vorpas shush>
<architectingScientist> "Hard to explain"
<MercurialHermit> could you please try
<MercurialHermit> "on account of me not wanting to be doomsdayed"
<architectingScientist> "The game defies reality itself"
<MercurialHermit> "Alright cool"
<architectingScientist> "I have to put some objects down in your hive or your curent location"
<Roo_inline[DM]> a large word-title appears in the middle of the screen S̩̺̺̯̩͎̞̭̙͚̬̪̀ͩ͑́͂͛̎ͯ̊̾ͩͮ̊ͤ̌ͮ̽̓͝ͅB̛̘̤̩͇͙̔ͥ̍̓̔̓ͮ͐̀ͣ̐̉̑Rͧ̐ͨͨͦͨ̉ͤͣ̇̈ͣ͑̆ͣ̍͏̴̷̥͎̞̻͍̘̪̰͢U̷̶̝̣̟̙̼͎̓̾̈̏ͪͤ̀̓̎͆͑̂ͤͯ͆ͣͥ̓͛͘͝ͅG̶̼̰̳̹̣̳̞̃̑͒ͧ̾ͭ͋̎͗̈́̈ͨ̎͌̒͛̎̚͝
<architectingScientist> current*
<MercurialHermit> "That explains everything and now I am totally up to date"
<Roo_inline[DM]> it seems to be glitching out as well.
<MercurialHermit> "also there are more glitchy stuff"
<Roo_inline[DM]> The music continues and eventually the icons and text fade to be replaced by an extravagant logo for UNOnline: Curse of the Dark Crusade
<MercurialHermit> "gotta love the quality of Hasbro games"
<architectingScientist> "Still normal"
<MercurialHermit> "alright, now theres an UNOnline logo"
<Roo_inline[DM]> In a nearly instantaneous graphical scramble, everything on the screen is erased to be replaced by a single green word, the same word that was glitching out earlier.... SBRUG
<Roo_inline[DM]> the name sounds like some sort of carpet sold at ikea
<MercurialHermit> "and now glitchy words again"
<MercurialHermit> "sbrug"
<architectingScientist> "When I put down a machine with a top that looks like a cap of some kind try to knock it off of the machine"
<architectingScientist> "Still normal"
<MercurialHermit> "uh, alright"
<MercurialHermit> "what do you mean place a machine:
<Roo_inline[DM]> bayith, yourscreen remains at this, feraku, your screen changes to.... something quite realistic looking
<architectingScientist> "You will see when it happens"
<MercurialHermit> "all I see in the game is the glitchy word
<Roo_inline[DM]> yup, that must be bayith
<architectingScientist> "Make space within your current location
<Roo_inline[DM]> ((bayith, describe your room))
<architectingScientist> preferably a lot of it"
<MercurialHermit> The room is a large square shape. In one corner sits my computer desk, and in the other is a bed. The room is filled with junk from the previous tenet, who had a passion for alternian "fine art"
<MercurialHermit> "do I have to?"
<architectingScientist> "Bayith I want you to survive"
<MercurialHermit> "I've managed to avoid touching that stuff my whole stay here"
<architectingScientist> "I almost got killed by meteors probably caused by this game and I do not want you to suffer the same fate"
<Roo_inline[DM]> An expansive menu unrolls for feraku (complete with nice animation and everything) along the top of the screen. There's a whole lot of buttons there
<architectingScientist> "I probably sound crazy but just trust me"
<MercurialHermit> "um"
<Roo_inline[DM]> she must already have an idea what this is for.
<MercurialHermit> "alright"
<Roo_inline[DM]> There's a button that looks like a cursor, another one that looks like a weird hexagon thing, and another one that looks like a captchalogue card next to a beaker.
<MercurialHermit> "I don't see what the big deal is but ok"
<architectingScientist> Feraku tries to find a button that might be useful.
* MercurialHermit starts tentatively moving the art
<MercurialHermit> "why do I have to do this again?"
<Roo_inline[DM]> you press the first button.
<Roo_inline[DM]> A submenu opens up with three different options: one button contains a normal cursor labeled MOVE, the second with a cursor all scrambled up and pixelated labeled REVISE, and another with an upside down cursor pointing down labeled DEPLOY
<architectingScientist> "So you don't die"
<Roo_inline[DM]> bayith, roll dexterity
<architectingScientist> Feraku clicks "Deploy".
<MercurialHermit> !roll 1d20+1
<Tyche[Dice]> MercurialHermit rolled : 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{8}
<Roo_inline[DM]> you clumsily move the art in a slight feel of panic
<MercurialHermit> "aw jeez, this is really gross"
<MercurialHermit> "can't I just respawn or something?"
<Roo_inline[DM]> feraku, yet another menu pops up with 3 sub options
<Roo_inline[DM]> One of them looks like a weird sort of clamp thing labeled TOTEM LATHE, the next looks like a very large round table labeled ALCHEMITER, and the third looks like a large hunk of metal with a tube sticking out of the top labeled CRUXTRUDER.
<architectingScientist> Feraku tries to put down the Cruxtruder in an efficient manner within the room, since it's the one she used first.
<architectingScientist> At least it looks like the one she needed first.
<Roo_inline[DM]> you place the cruxtruder against the wall, the floor shuddders with the sheer weight of i
<Roo_inline[DM]> it*
<MercurialHermit> "Holy shit!"
<MercurialHermit> "Feraku, a giant metal thing just dropped down"
<architectingScientist> "That was the game"
<MercurialHermit> "what!"
<architectingScientist> "I tried to place it down in a manner that would take up the least space
<MercurialHermit> "how does a game affect my real life"
<architectingScientist> hopefully this works"
<MercurialHermit> "wait, when you talked about meteors"
<MercurialHermit> "were those real too?"
<architectingScientist> "Yes"
<Roo_inline[DM]> the giant machine seems to have a chimmey, and a wheel at the side. it seems to be locked with some sort of heavy circular slab of metal
<MercurialHermit> "oh ok"
<architectingScientist> "There should be little screens on each side of the machine I put down"
<MercurialHermit> "in that case please tell me how to not best get killed by meteors"
<MercurialHermit> um ok
<architectingScientist> "That's the time you have left to complete the objective. They should light up once you pop the cap off of the machine"
<MercurialHermit> "alright I'll try that"
<MercurialHermit> Bayith attempts to take the cap off the machine
<Roo_inline[DM]> the totem lathe and the alchemiter continue to be waiting for deployment
<Roo_inline[DM]> roll str
<MercurialHermit> !roll 1d20-1
<Tyche[Dice]> MercurialHermit rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=18 ]{17}
<Roo_inline[DM]> you manage to partially lift the cap, just when you think have it, it falls again
<architectingScientist> Feraku tries to put down the other two machines somewhere.
<MercurialHermit> outside of Bayith's room is a hallway which connects to the bathroom, stairs and an outdoor balcony
<MercurialHermit> the bottom floor has a kitchen, a living room, and a hunting parlor which houses snakedad
<MercurialHermit> "shit I can't open it"
<MercurialHermit> "one sec, I need to get some help"
<MercurialHermit> Bayith runs downstairs into snakedad's room
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad seems to be sleeping, there's a recent shed of skin near one of the walls
<MercurialHermit> "ok, I know you're not feeling well, but I kinda need your help here"
<architectingScientist> Feraku examines the outdoor balcony, maybe she can put down the Alchemiter there.
<Roo_inline[DM]> *snake sounds**
<architectingScientist> She puts the totem lathe down on the side of the hallway, careful not to block doors.
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad clumsily wakes up and begins reptating towards you
<architectingScientist> ((brb for about 5 minutes, making my brother lunch))
<MercurialHermit> Bayith attempts beastcontrol 3 on snakedad
<Roo_inline[DM]> ((ok))
<Roo_inline[DM]> the totem lathe falls with a loud thud
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad refuses to be controlled by beast control, already knowing how to slip from YOUR grasp
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad willingly follows you
<MercurialHermit> PP 1/16
<architectingScientist> ((i'm back))
<Roo_inline[DM]> *more snake sounds*
<MercurialHermit> Bayith attempts to get snakedad to telekineticly open the totem lathe
<architectingScientist> ((you mean cruxtruder hopefully))
<MercurialHermit> <yeah mb>
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad focuses and both heads light up with some psionic energy.
<Roo_inline[DM]> the lid is lifted, and falls next to the cruxtruder. snakedad coils himself in the ground... tired
<MercurialHermit> "thanks buddy"
<Roo_inline[DM]> *more snake sounds*
<MercurialHermit> Bayith pats snakedad on its heads, and runs up to check out the cruxtruder
<MercurialHermit> "ok now what"
<Roo_inline[DM]> the screen displays a timer of 3 minutes
<architectingScientist> "Turn the wheel"
<MercurialHermit> "I've got 3 minutes"
<MercurialHermit> Bayith turns the wheel
<Roo_inline[DM]> a light [text color] totem of some glassy material pops up
<architectingScientist> "First, some colored orb should pop out, do not touch it because it turns whatever touches it into some kind of glowing ball thing"
<Roo_inline[DM]> ((feraku, did you place the alchemiter already?
<Roo_inline[DM]> a glowing ball of light pops up as well
<MercurialHermit> "ok I see it"
<architectingScientist> ((not yet, she's thinking of placing it on the balcony but she doesn't know if it's big enough for the alcemiter yet))
<MercurialHermit> "what do I do with this cylinder"
<Roo_inline[DM]> it begins circling around the room. snakedad raises one of its heads and fixes it in place with psionic energy
<Roo_inline[DM]> ((lets say yes))
<architectingScientist> "Hold it for a bit, I need to place down one more machine"
<architectingScientist> Ferkau places the Alchemiter on the balcony.
<architectingScientist> Feraku*
<Roo_inline[DM]> the balcony shudders at the weigh of said machine, thankfully, it doesn't collapse
<MercurialHermit> "how many of these crazy machines are you gonna drop"
<architectingScientist> "That should be the last one"
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad approaches the orb and smells it with its viperine tongue
<architectingScientist> "Just one more thing that isn't a crazy machine"
<MercurialHermit> "right right"
<architectingScientist> Feraku searches around the interface for a card of some kind.
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad opens one of its maws really wide and takes a few seconds before doing anything
<MercurialHermit> Bayith finally notices snakedad
<MercurialHermit> "oh shit!"
<Roo_inline[DM]> feraku notices a menu with a card
<Roo_inline[DM]> and lo and behold, there it is. a card
<architectingScientist> Feraku tries to place the card down near the totem lathe
<MercurialHermit> Bayith runs to his lusus to try and stop it
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad continues poised, threatening the glowing orb
<MercurialHermit> "Hey, what are you doing!"
<Roo_inline[DM]> *HISSSSSSSSSS*
<Roo_inline[DM]> the other head looks at you
<MercurialHermit> "No! Don't hiss, don't hiss!"
<MercurialHermit> "Oh god why did I wake you up!"
<Roo_inline[DM]> there's... a look snakedad... a particular look of determination
<Roo_inline[DM]> or maybe its just the psionic glow on its eyes
<architectingScientist> "I placed down a captchalogue card near the totem lathe which is the machine in the hallway"
<architectingScientist> "There should be a slot in the totem lathe for the card"
<MercurialHermit> "
<MercurialHermit> "not now Feraku!"
<MercurialHermit> "My lusus is being really weird about the ball thingy!"
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad continues looking at you. with one head, threatening the ball with the other
<Roo_inline[DM]> *distressed snake sounds*
<MercurialHermit> Bayith attempts to control it, but is too low on PP
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad lunges
<Roo_inline[DM]> roll me an acrobatics and str check in case you want to prevent this
<MercurialHermit> !roll 1d20+1 acrobatics
<Tyche[Dice]> MercurialHermit rolled : 1d20+1 acrobatics --> [ 1d20=5 ]{6}
<MercurialHermit> roll 1d20-1 str
<MercurialHermit> !roll 1d20-1 str
<Tyche[Dice]> MercurialHermit rolled : 1d20-1 str --> [ 1d20=5 ]{4}
<Roo_inline[DM]> you uselessly tackle snakedad's body as it swallows the orb.... welp
<architectingScientist> "Is your lusus ok-- oh crap"
<MercurialHermit> "Oh shit!"
<Roo_inline[DM]> nothing... happe-- NOPE. there it is an inmense light fills the room as snakedad's body is turned into light
<MercurialHermit> "What do I do!"
<architectingScientist> "Continue with the game"
<architectingScientist> "There is nothing you can do"
<MercurialHermit> "but my lusus!'
<architectingScientist> "I'm sorry I dragged us into this"
<MercurialHermit> "son of a bitch"
<MercurialHermit> "alright how do I continue"
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad dissolves into light. and kind of... becomes the orb
<MercurialHermit> Bayith is trying very hard to play it cool
<MercurialHermit> he is failing
<architectingScientist> "Put the weird captchalogue card I placed down near the Totem Lathe in a slot on the Totem Lathe"
<MercurialHermit> alright
<Roo_inline[DM]> a bicephalous orb of light with snakedad's faces now floats next to you
<Roo_inline[DM]> it looks... pleased
<MercurialHermit> "what about the totem, I'm assuming this is the totem"
<MercurialHermit> "Sorry buddy"
<architectingScientist> "The cylinder is the totem I think"
<MercurialHermit> "do you feel any better"
<Roo_inline[DM]> *snake sounds*
<Roo_inline[DM]> *snake agreement sounds*
<MercurialHermit> "ok"
<MercurialHermit> "I think my lusus might be ok"
<architectingScientist> "Thank goodness he is, this also means I might have a way to save Wyvernmom"
<MercurialHermit> "wait, what's wrong with your lusus?"
<architectingScientist> "I'll tell you later"
<Roo_inline[DM]> snakedad circles the room.
<architectingScientist> "For now it's your life that is in the most danger"
<MercurialHermit> "alright, I'm gonna go beat this game"
<MercurialHermit> bayith runs outside, and puts the totem and the card into the lathe
<Roo_inline[DM]> the totem is carved into some abstract shape
<MercurialHermit> "alright now what"
<architectingScientist> "There's a machine I placed on the balcony"
<MercurialHermit> "ok:
<MercurialHermit> "Bayith runs to balcony with totem"
<architectingScientist> "Place the carved cylinder on a small pedestal of the machine"
<MercurialHermit> <oops quotes :p>
<MercurialHermit> Bayith places the carved totem
<architectingScientist> "If you see meteors outside then you don't have much time left"
<Roo_inline[DM]> as you run there you realize you only have a minute left
<Roo_inline[DM]> as you place the totem you see a gigantic ball of fire aiming directly at you
<Roo_inline[DM]> the totem itself is scanned and... a jar and a net appear
<MercurialHermit> "oh boy"
<MercurialHermit> "ok now what"
<Roo_inline[DM]> the jar seems to be filled with fireflies, there's one flying in loose circles around the balcony
<MercurialHermit> "oh wait"
<architectingScientist> "This is a puzzle designed by the game and it's not the same as mine"
<MercurialHermit> Bayith starts trying to catch the firefly
<architectingScientist> "I cannot help you here but you seem to have gotten it"
<Roo_inline[DM]> do you use the net?
<MercurialHermit> yes
<Roo_inline[DM]> roll to hit with dex
<MercurialHermit> !roll 1d20+1
<Tyche[Dice]> MercurialHermit rolled : 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{13}
<Roo_inline[DM]> the firefly escapes your net
<Roo_inline[DM]> it begins flying a bit faster
<MercurialHermit> Bayith attempts to use the telekinesis cantrip to stop, or at least stop it
<Roo_inline[DM]> you telekinetically grab the firefly
<Roo_inline[DM]> it begins struggling to move around
<MercurialHermit> Bayith nabs it with the net, then puts it in the jar
<Roo_inline[DM]> you put the firefly in the jar.
<Roo_inline[DM]> the jar fades in a flash of light as the rock continues approaching your home
<MercurialHermit> "ok now what!"
<Roo_inline[DM]> well... that was eas---
<Roo_inline[DM]> EVERYTHING fades to black
<architectingScientist> "Are you ok"
<MercurialHermit> "uh"
<architectingScientist> "I cannot see anything on my screen"
<MercurialHermit> "I can't see anything period"
<MercurialHermit> "what do I do"
<MercurialHermit> "did I win"
<architectingScientist> "You survived"
<architectingScientist> "After this the game changes"
<architectingScientist> "Look outside and tell me what you see"
<MercurialHermit> can Bayith see his computer screen?
