Hospital Finale IC4

9:26 PM <@Balthazaar> A horde of monsters, nurses, crawlers, harvesters, baby bugs and other unnamable things pours from the Hospital, streaming towards the site. The big AA guns open fire on them, and the security forces not engaged in the containment breach engage in a defensive battle
9:27 PM <Sax> Cedric's shifted to Crowdric, and is flying towards the conflict.
9:29 PM <Sax> He's heard of the Hospital, and now wants to sink his teeth into it.
9:30 PM <Sax> "CAW!" (I'M HERE, BITCHES!)
9:33 PM <Sax> He shifts into Cedric as he falls from the sky towards the creatures of the Hospital, fully engorged recently from a morgue offering, and ready to kill.
9:35 PM taylor_zzz → taylor_iOStkin
9:37 PM <@Balthazaar> The monsters don't kill
9:37 PM <@Balthazaar> They maim and drag captives back screaming
9:37 PM <Sax> Cedric's the one doing the killing.
9:37 PM <@Balthazaar> and they just don't stop coming, constantly gaining ground on the site
9:38 PM <@Balthazaar> the trees twist and contort, and giant, namesless beasts crawl from the sea
9:38 PM <Sax> So long as it is night, Cedric's having a blast.
9:38 PM <Sax> His laughter can be heard among the screaming, shooting, and killing, as he's busy ripping apart entities bit by bit.
9:40 PM <Sax> He uses his proboscis and superhuman strength to kill the monsters, and uses his guns to incap the ones attempting to kidnap personnel.

9:41 PM <Sax> Or shifting his aim to mercy-kill the maimed before they are taken alive.
9:43 PM <@Balthazaar> Despite these efforts, and the efforts of hundreds of stuff, anomalous and non anomalous alike, the tide of blood and pain and terror advances steadily
9:43 PM <Sax> "[It's like facing the slants all over again!]"
9:44 PM <Sax> Despite the enemy's push, Cedric remains at the forefront of hell.
9:44 PM <Sax> This is where he belongs.
9:44 PM <@Balthazaar> pdef cedric
9:45 PM <Sax> 4df+7 TROLOLOLOLOL
9:45 PM <Glacon> Sax: TROLOLOLOLOL: 8 (4df+7=+, 0, -, +)
9:49 PM <@Balthazaar> 4df+7
9:49 PM <Glacon> Balthazaar: 8 (4df+7=+, +, 0, -)
9:49 PM <@Balthazaar> a mechanical centaur damn near crushes Cedric
9:50 PM <Sax> Cedric rolls out of the way.
9:50 PM <Sax> He leaves the large mechanicals to be hit with artillery.
9:50 PM <Sax> He focuses on the infantry.
9:57 PM <@Balthazaar> Artillery strikes and air raids are more and more frequent now as the Foundations most heavily defended site defends itself
9:58 PM <Sax> Cedric uses a bolo to swing at another nurse, while using his proboscis to pierce through a crawler and make short work of the stitching job.

10:06 PM <@Balthazaar> Fighting!
10:06 PM <@Balthazaar> the sea creatures are literally just eating people whole
10:07 PM <Sax> Cedric's killing and eating, rejuvenating himself on the flesh of the dead and dying.
10:07 PM ↔ VinylS nipped out
10:10 PM <taylor_iOStkin> Tony has run outside now.
10:11 PM <Sax> Tony, you can hear Cedric's maniacal laughter.
10:11 PM <Sax> And bits and pieces of Hospital entities in his trail.
10:11 PM <taylor_iOStkin> “Oh shit it’s bird boy.”
10:11 PM <taylor_iOStkin> Tony begins firing at the hospital creatures.

10:44 PM <ArseneLupin> Outside where the battle line is a very large amount of white skinned creatures march towards the action, holding a hastily held banner saying. "Foundation, we're on you're side this time. -The Curator <3' There are almost a dozen different varieties each specialized for something different and each of them going after any Hospital entities they see
10:45 PM <Sax> Cedric is still locked in mortal combat with the Hospital entities around him.
10:45 PM <Sax> He's been non-stop killing for an hour or so now.
10:47 PM <ArseneLupin> He would see the various Homunculi marching in to help, A few humanoid figures with spider legs on it's back, some large humanoids with drills attached to their arms, dozens upon dozens of dogs made of flesh, and some that just look like people, all attacking relentlessly and ignoring any Foundation troops
10:47 PM <Sax> He leaves the interlopers be.
10:47 PM ⇐ Magnobile quit (IfYouDie@Canada.you.die.in.real.life) Ping timeout: 185 seconds
10:47 PM <@Balthazaar> The Hospital shifts to fighting on 2 fronts, unusually disorganised now
10:48 PM <ArseneLupin> The human looking homunculus laugh at The Hospital as they fight, even as they are cut down. They may not be durable, but they are numerous
10:50 PM <ArseneLupin> A few even take the time to smile at Cedric while their pink suits are stained a darker red
10:51 PM <@Balthazaar> The forest comes alive with mouths and tentacles growing from the trees. They set in ravenously
10:52 PM <Sax> .
10:53 PM <Sax> "Man, fuck these guys are PERSISTENT!"
10:53 PM <Sax> Cedric continues tearing through the ranks.
10:53 PM ⇐ GabrielJade quit (uid298255@synIRC-5A987CBA.stonehaven.irccloud.com) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
10:53 PM <ArseneLupin> Once enough of the Homunculi have been killed, swarms of bug like homunculi swarm over the corpses, forming into hulking beasts with a single eye that are much more durable than the goons before them
10:54 PM <@Balthazaar> the trees start eating hommunculi
10:54 PM <ArseneLupin> A very smart choice. More keep coming in, although the larger beasts do not form anymore
10:56 PM <ArseneLupin> One of the Changelings grins at Cedric. "They really are. Who the hell did you all piss off?"
10:57 PM <Sax> "Apparently the Hospital's always been-" Cedric stabs an approaching nurse with his tongue "- like this."
10:58 PM <ArseneLupin> The changeling's arm stretches out to hit a crawler. "Glad we never got on their bad side then. Not like it stopped up from getting involved in the end."
11:01 PM <@Balthazaar> Small (30 - 100metre long) Hospital dragons like in homeimprovement explode forth from the hospital, and begin laying waste, belching green fire and raining flies, mosquitos and rats
11:03 PM <ArseneLupin> The hulking beasts that are left snap an eye towards a few of the dragons, freezing their motion and causing them to fall out of the sky where the Flesh Hounds swarm them. This is not nearly enough to take down all of them, but it's something
11:04 PM <ArseneLupin> "Dragon Homunculus! That's a wonderful idea. The Curator is gonna love this." The same changeling says to himself
11:04 PM <Sax> "Dragon anything is never a good idea."
11:05 PM <ArseneLupin> "Different strokes for different folks. I mean just look at the scale of this! It's wonderful! So amazing!"
11:05 PM <Sax> "For you, it's art. For me, this is an all-you-can-eat buffet!"
11:05 PM → Magnobile joined (IfYouDie@Canada.you.die.in.real.life)
11:05 PM <ArseneLupin> "Either way I think we can both agree this is so much fun!"
11:06 PM <Sax> "That we can!"
11:06 PM <@Balthazaar> The fallen dragons tend to explode in green nuclear detonations, the mushroom clouds comprised of fiery green skulls
11:07 PM <Sax> "... hardcore."
11:07 PM <ArseneLupin> "I like you! Curator is gonna love seeing you in action too! Maybe we could even design Homunculus based on you, as a tribute!" He turns to the explosions. "Oh that is just beautiful."
11:08 PM ⇐ @DSJ|Mobile quit (~DSJ@397B6B86.B85A9EDA.3C0890BC.IP) No route to host
11:08 PM <ArseneLupin> The numbers of the Homunculi are starting to decrease a bit from the explosions. They are taking heavy losses, but they can keep fighting for a long time, even if it will cripple them for a long time afterwards
11:08 PM → @DSJ (opped) joined
11:09 PM <Sax> Help arrives in the form of a massive glyph in the sky, a portal tearing open as an Elorean airship emerges.
11:10 PM <Sax> Its guns begin tearing through the Hospital entities, with its primary beam cannon making short work of the dragons.
11:10 PM <ArseneLupin> The changeling actually starts clapping. "This just keeps getting better and better!"
11:11 PM <Sax> Its port and starboard hatches open, and Tier IIIs begin deploying en masse, taking the field via rappel lines, and engaging Hospital forces with the force of a hammer hitting the anvil.
11:12 PM <ArseneLupin> The horde of Homunculi circle around the otherside to flank with them
11:13 PM <ArseneLupin> "Hey Tongue guy, you know what the deal with the big guys and the spaceship is?"
11:13 PM <Sax> "... not at all."
11:13 PM <Sax> "Probably the same deal as you."
11:13 PM <Sax> "They need the Foundation alive."
11:14 PM <ArseneLupin> He keeps on grinning. "You all might be assholes sometimes, but you're fun to watch and keep the place from falling apart. Be glad that so many people love you!"
11:15 PM <Sax> "Asshole is my middle name!" Cedric grins, even while an Elorean airship tears apart one of the large mermen with concentrated autocannon fire.
11:16 PM <ArseneLupin> "What's your name pal? You're the best asshole I've seen here." A Cyclops tosses one of the Hospital beasts at a merman
11:17 PM <%Cocoa> Amidst all the chaos, a motley crew of humans, somewhat humans, Docents, definitely-not humans, and others approach the group, led by an old man. They are armed with a similarly varied allotment of military gear, improvised weapons, melee weapons, and not-quite-wepons. They open fire on the hospital creatures.
11:17 PM <%Cocoa> The old man speaks up. "I am Yokanon! Who is in charge here?!"
11:17 PM <Sax> Cedric looks.
11:17 PM <ArseneLupin> "I'm more or less the leader of the flesh things here. I'm Percy."
11:17 PM <Sax> "Cedric Cabili... most likely the last Foundation agent on the offense."
11:18 PM <%Cocoa> He shakes both their hands. "The House, the Library, and the Alleys offer their aid."
11:18 PM <ArseneLupin> "Ouroboros has been offering theirs, good to meet you." He flashes him a grin
11:18 PM <Sax> A second portal opens, and another Elorean airship translates into the airspace.
11:19 PM <Sax> Their underside-mounted autocannons get to work tearing apart Hospital entities on the ground.
11:19 PM <%Cocoa> He opens a marble breifcase, and swarms of miniature humans - homunculi - begin pouring out. You see a dragon go down to the hospital creatures in the distance, but some others are being blown apart by what looks like a troupe of street performers with bazookas.
11:20 PM <ArseneLupin> "Oh shit, actual Homunculus! Hope you guys aren't too mad that we stole the name for our monsters."
11:20 PM <Sax> Cedric laughs at the irony of it all.
11:20 PM <@Balthazaar> the AA guns are still firing
11:20 PM <@Balthazaar> but far fewer of them than before
11:20 PM <@Balthazaar> Security is attacking with everything they have, led by an angry man on horeback
11:20 PM <@Balthazaar> Air support tangles with dragons
11:21 PM <Sax> Thankfully, the Elorean Knights are assisting with air superiority.
11:22 PM <ArseneLupin> The swarms of Flesh Hounds are providing excellent assistant on the ground, swarming anything frozen by the Cyclops or pinned by Wall Stalkers
11:26 PM <ArseneLupin> "So many armies, all gathered together to fight off a common foe. Gotta say this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So much fun, so much carnage, so many sources of inspiration!"
11:33 PM <@Balthazaar> The hospital falters
11:33 PM <ArseneLupin> The Homunculi take full advantage of this to push against them
11:35 PM <ArseneLupin> "I guess they can't handle the heat! Time to force em out of the kitchen!"
11:37 PM <%Cocoa> "Hold!" Yokanon shouts
11:37 PM <%Cocoa> The reenforcements grind to a halt. If the Hospital does not resume attacking, they tend o the wounded.
11:37 PM <@Balthazaar> The army drops dead as one
11:37 PM <@Balthazaar> the Hospital itself collapses in on itself
11:38 PM <ArseneLupin> The Homunculi swarm the corpses, devouring the flesh and bone of the bodies
11:38 PM <ArseneLupin> "We did it guys! Good work all around!"
11:39 PM ⇐ DrSavage quit (uid89532@synIRC-4A8553E8.brockwell.irccloud.com) Quit: Connection closed for inactivity
11:40 PM <ArseneLupin> He pats Yokanon on the back happily
11:40 PM <@Balthazaar> The corpses then burst into green flame as they burn away to nothingness
11:40 PM <ArseneLupin> There weren't /just/ Hospital corpses on the ground. Plenty to go around
11:42 PM <ArseneLupin> Slight correction, they leave the bones and organs of what they eat. Only taking flesh
11:42 PM <ArseneLupin> They even devour the other Homunculi corpses
11:43 PM ⇐ Magnobile quit (IfYouDie@Canada.you.die.in.real.life) Ping timeout: 181 seconds
11:45 PM <ArseneLupin> Percy just looks around at the Library and Elorean Forces, taking in every detail he can for later recreation
11:46 PM <@Balthazaar> <,Hospital cunts have been beaten... Striketeam that left last week seems to have succeeded in sutting off the head of the fuckin snake... We did it. We fucking did it.>> Comes Alberts voice over the loudspeaker
11:48 PM <ArseneLupin> "And that should be our cue to leave." A few changelings come in and drop gift baskets on the ground with 'Congrats on Not Dying!" Cards written in bright colors and glitter in them alongside various wines and snack. The remaining Homunculi grab any bodies that aren't eaten yet and make their exit to recover and reform. Percy smiles at Yokanon and waves. "Nice working with you. Be sure to tell the Foundation to give us a call if
11:48 PM <ArseneLupin> they need help rebuilding." He makes his exit as well
