In which Lysander and friends raid the Crucible [INCOMPLETE]

<yzabtech> ==START==
* Lysander_Bel waits for Handler Belphegor to inform him of their arrival, eyes shut in the passenger seat.
<yzabtech> "We're here at the specified rendezvous point."
* Lysander_Bel nods and opens his eyes
<yzabtech> You're...still outside.
* Lysander_Bel shakes his head and closes his eyes
<yzabtech> Inside the car, but the car is outside.
<yzabtech> In the brief glimpse you saw of the outside, the plane is there.
<Lysander_Bel> "Icon's here?"
<yzabtech> "On the opposite side, yes."
<Lysander_Bel> "Alibi, then."
<yzabtech> "He's with her."
<Lysander_Bel> "N'how'm I supposed to use Alibi if she's on the other side?"
<yzabtech> "Remember the guard that brought you up here?"
<yzabtech> up to my office*
<Lysander_Bel> "The nameless mook?  Not really"
<yzabtech> "The 'nameless mook' escorted you by the hand, did they?"
<Lysander_Bel> "Sure"
<yzabtech> Belphegor smiles.
* Lysander_Bel fails to notice
<yzabtech> Belphegor sighs.
<yzabtech> "Whatever, do you want to double check that the connection still works?"
<yzabtech> "She's on her way."
<Lysander_Bel> "Get whoever else is with Icon to hide the sky.  Ishtar"
<yzabtech> "The sky..."
<yzabtech> "Got it...?"
<Lysander_Bel> "I don't do outdoors.  Just have him roof us"
<yzabtech> Belphegor speaks into a microphone. "Ishtar, dome the crucible."
<yzabtech> You can tell that it's darker now.
<Lysander_Bel> "That'll do.  Firewall, Ballyhoo, Lady Luck, Inevitable running interference.  Right?"
<yzabtech> "Correct."
<Lysander_Bel> "Then we wait for Alibi, and we do this *right*"
<Lysander_Bel> "If that's possible considering the payload"
<yzabtech> "...you can open your eyes, now."
* Lysander_Bel opens his eyes now
<yzabtech> It's the same thing as before, except the entire area is now covered in a semi-transparent geodesic dome.
<yzabtech> "Stick your hand out."
* Lysander_Bel does so
<yzabtech> Out the window.
* Lysander_Bel does that too
<yzabtech> "Wait for it."
* Lysander_Bel waits for it
<yzabtech> You receive the fabled car window high-five.
<yzabtech> Now you're in two cars!
<Lysander_Bel> "Now we're getting somewhere"
<yzabtech> Alibi-you is still circling around the crucible.
<yzabtech> "Let's go."
* Lysander_Bel watches himself trail off into the distance.  Or rather, watches Gatling trail off into the distance.
* Lysander_Bel nods.
<yzabtech> Belphegor steps out of the vehicle, and looks toward the shy.
<yzabtech> sky*
<yzabtech> "You might want to see this."
* Lysander_Bel drags his attention away from the only other human in a world of lizards, and looks.  Tentatively.
<yzabtech> A dragon, the same ones you see in the brief glimpses of the sky you occasionally get, is perched upon the edge of the dome.
<Lysander_Bel> Colour?
<yzabtech> It flies up, and back around in a loop, ramming into the dome.
<yzabtech> Black.
<Lysander_Bel> "Mornzyrephos ain't happy"
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {14}
<yzabtech> It rams full-force into the dome, creating a noticeable shockwave that briefly shakes the ground.
<Lysander_Bel> "Firewall starts stacking more barriers while the others hurry inside.  He'll catch up soon enough, eh?"
<yzabtech> "We need him in the crucible, just run!"
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {7}
<yzabtech> The dragon tries another headbutt. The dome weakly shakes.
<Lysander_Bel> "F'I'm running, we're already dead"
* Lysander_Bel enters the crucible
<yzabtech> It feels much bigger than the last time you were there.
<yzabtech> It's one massive room in a mountain cave. On the other end you see Gino and Dimitri's high-ranking slaves/robots duking it out.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=10 ] | {12}
<yzabtech> You feel another shockwave.
<yzabtech> The center tablet remains.
<yzabtech> Blocking your way are quite a few underlings.
<Lysander_Bel> "Nev:  Kill"
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+2
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+2 --> [ 1d20=6 ] | {8}
<yzabtech> A weaker shockwave.
<yzabtech> Roll athletics to see how far you get.
<Lysander_Bel> !roll 1d20
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20 --> [ 1d20=2 ] | {2}
<yzabtech> Not very far before a giclops blocks your path.
<Lysander_Bel> "Sup?"
<yzabtech> It doesn't seem like much fo the talkative type.
<yzabtech> of*
<yzabtech> Roll Initiative.
<Lysander_Bel> !Roll 1d20+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=4 ] | {7}
<yzabtech> Giclops goes first, then.
<Lysander_Bel> "Yo Nev, remember that time I said to kill?  Maybe do that thing I said"
