  1. [16:44] <@Aberrant> okay
  2. [16:44] <@Aberrant> context
  3. [16:44] <firsthandEntropy> I will not start, it doesn't make sense from where my character is at personally. However, I can be reached at this moment
  4. [16:44] <@Aberrant> Morden's entry and Amelia's entry happened roughly in parallel
  5. [16:45] <@Aberrant> and both are finished now
  6. [16:45] <passiveLinguist> So what can I currently see on my computer screen?
  7. [16:45] <firsthandEntropy> and on mine? Still at the "loading screen"?
  8. [16:46] <@Aberrant> okay yeah
  9. [16:46] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you still see Amelia's flat.
  10. [16:46] <@Aberrant> The random old lady is in the kitchen working on cooling and storing the cookies.
  11. [16:46] <passiveLinguist> Can I see Amelia?
  12. [16:46] <@Aberrant> She seems to be having trouble trying to keep them free of sand that seems to be inexplicably be getting inside.
  13. [16:47] <@Aberrant> Amelia just left and went out the door in the bottom of her flat to go down the stairs.
  14. [16:47] <@Aberrant> You still see the three buttons at the top
  15. [16:47] <passiveLinguist> Huh, what the heck just happened to Amelia?
  16. [16:47] <@Aberrant> The cursor, the hexagon, and the card with the beaker
  17. [16:47] <@Aberrant> However, a new button has appeared, one that looks like a rough gray circle
  18. [16:47] <passiveLinguist> I try to click out of the screen.
  19. [16:47] <passiveLinguist> Oh wait
  20. [16:47] <passiveLinguist> I click on the new button.
  21. [16:47] <@Aberrant> Morden, you still see the loading screen.
  22. [16:48] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, upon clicking the button, you find yourself back at the Stone Circle screen where the guild had their group chat recently
  23. [16:49] <@Aberrant> You still see the same pattern of medallions around the stone circle, but some of the white arrows have now solidified since you were last here.
  24. [16:49] <passiveLinguist> I try clicking on the white arrows.
  25. [16:49] <@Aberrant> Arrows between silentSnowball and firsthandEntropy, as well as between yourself and Amelia seem to not be faint and gray-ish anymore, unlike the two between Feraku and Bayith and between firsthandEntropy and yourself.
  26. [16:50] <@Aberrant> Upon clicking the white arrows, a little bubble pops up with a bit of text.
  27. [16:50] <@Aberrant> "CONNETED. Connection made at" <insert time within the past 15 minutes or so>
  28. [16:50] <@Aberrant> *CONNECTED
  29. [16:51] <passiveLinguist> Connected? Was that what just happened?
  30. [16:51] <passiveLinguist> Oh god, did you just force Amelia into the Matrix?
  31. [16:51] <@Aberrant> Clicking on the gray arrows doesn't seem to do anything.
  32. [16:52] <passiveLinguist> You start shivering, this is real bad. The machines are going to harvest her for sure.
  33. [16:52] <@Aberrant> The game chat pops up with a new message, Lutrin.
  34. [16:52] <passiveLinguist> You need to salvage this fast. There's only one thing you can think of doing. You have to go in after her.
  35. [16:52] <@Aberrant> -- WORLD FOUND. CONNETING TO SERVER...... --
  36. [16:53] <@Aberrant> Morden, your computer gives you an audio ping and the text at the bottom of the screen has changed.
  37. [16:53] <@Aberrant> It now says "Server Connection Established."
  38. [16:53] <firsthandEntropy> I spontaniously halt the conversation I was (will be) having with wolfdad at that moment, and turn to my screen.
  39. [16:53] <firsthandEntropy> I say to myself "Looks like it's finally loading."
  40. [16:53] <@Aberrant> Lutrin: -- CONNECTED TO SERVER --
  41. [16:53] <passiveLinguist> I pull up my chat client and message firsthandEntropy real fast
  42. [16:54] <passiveLinguist> "Hey, buddy, you're the, new guy, right?"
  43. [16:54] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, a dialog box pops up.
  44. [16:54] <firsthandEntropy> "Uh, yes"
  45. [16:55] <passiveLinguist> "Alright, since you're, new to, the guild, I gotta put, you through an, initation."
  46. [16:55] <firsthandEntropy> "I don't really want to play right now though. This game is weird and I'm talking with wolfdad right now."
  47. [16:55] <passiveLinguist> "You gotta enter, me into the, damn, Matrix, so I can, go save, Amelia."
  48. [16:55] <firsthandEntropy> "Um. This sounds very strange."
  49. [16:55] <firsthandEntropy> "Do you need to go fast?"
  50. [16:56] <@Aberrant> "CONNECTION INITIATED. This warning serves as a reminder that DEITY MODE has been activated on this device. The following text is being displayed to give you the slightest sliver of a fighting chance to not be completely obliterated before you have a chance to even attempt a narrow escape."
  51. [16:56] <passiveLinguist> "YES"
  52. [16:56] <@Aberrant> "Message Follows."
  53. [16:56] <passiveLinguist> "She could, be harvested by, the machines at, any second!"
  54. [16:56] <firsthandEntropy> "I'm not sure who amelia is, but if she is in danger, I think I should help."
  55. [16:56] * firsthandEntropy tells wolfdad that he will be a moment
  56. [16:57] <passiveLinguist> "Oh shit, I think the, machines are, angry at me."
  57. [16:57] <firsthandEntropy> "What do you want me to do? My computer is stuck on this loading screen."
  58. [16:57] <passiveLinguist> "You need, to give me, the technology, so I can enter, into the, Matrix!"
  59. [16:57] <passiveLinguist> "Some menus, and shit will, be popping up soon, hopefully."
  60. [16:58] <firsthandEntropy> "I do not like dung, but I can try to help."
  61. [16:58] <@Aberrant> "As a DEITY MODE player, you have one of the largest meteors in the game headed towards your current location. Your very own personalized meteor is 13.56839402389 miles in diameter. As of the moment that your connection actively commences, you will have precisely one minute in which to say your last goodbyes and attempt transport into the medium."
  62. [16:58] <passiveLinguist> "Alright, I don't need, any of that, smartass talk. Amelia is, in danger!"
  63. [16:58] <passiveLinguist> "Oh, no"
  64. [16:59] <passiveLinguist> "This is, bad."
  65. [16:59] <@Aberrant> "If you aware of the mechanics of this game on the NORMAL MODE of this game, you may find some unexpected challenges along the way."
  66. [16:59] <@Aberrant> "As such, some degree of preparation prior to your connection becoming activated is highly recommended to avoid complete annihilation."
  67. [17:00] <passiveLinguist> "Alright, the Matrix Machines, tell me I, gotta communicate with, you ahead, of, time."
  68. [17:00] <@Aberrant> "Your game mode has been LOCKED into DEITY MODE and cannot be altered. Please enjoy this exciting new installment in the Hasbro-Mattel Mass Murder Series."
  69. [17:00] <passiveLinguist> "So basically, you're going to, get access, to a bunch of, menus and shit. Your job, is to place down, all of the machines, in close vicinity, to eachother, as quickly, as, possible."
  70. [17:00] <@Aberrant> "Your connection will be activated in 1 minute. Commence your preparations."
  71. [17:01] <passiveLinguist> "Dammit, I always knew, Hasbro-Mattel, were pure, evil."
  72. [17:01] <@Aberrant> "Goodbye, Lutrin."
  73. [17:01] <firsthandEntropy> "Alright then."
  74. [17:01] <firsthandEntropy> "Wait, this sounds like what just happened at my hive."
  75. [17:01] <firsthandEntropy> "You need to do that?"
  76. [17:01] <passiveLinguist> "Alright, I'm trusting, you. I live in, an apartment building. I OWN the, apartment, building. So feel free, to place stuff, wherever."
  77. [17:01] <passiveLinguist> "Oh man, you're already, inside the, Matrix."
  78. [17:02] <firsthandEntropy> "No, I'm at home. Outside is really brambly though."
  79. [17:02] <passiveLinguist> "Oh god, does that, mean that everyone, else is, going in, too?"
  80. [17:02] <passiveLinguist> "That's what they, WANT you, to believe!"
  81. [17:02] <firsthandEntropy> "How fast do you want all the machines down?"
  82. [17:03] <passiveLinguist> I run to the mostly empty apartment on the 4th floor. Gameboys litter the floor, and there's a psi battery, but there isn't much else in the room.
  83. [17:03] <passiveLinguist> "ASAP!"
  84. [17:03] <passiveLinguist> "Put them, all in, the one room, I am in."
  85. [17:03] <firsthandEntropy> "I will."
  86. [17:03] * firsthandEntropy prepares to click ALL OF THE MACHINES into the room!
  87. [17:03] <@Aberrant> "30 seconds remain until connection activation. Finish your preparations and prepare for the termination of your existence."
  88. [17:03] <firsthandEntropy> ((can I see the text from abberrant? I assume not))
  89. [17:04] <@Aberrant> Morden, the text at the bottom of your screen changes to "CONNECTION ESTABLISHED. ACTIVATION IN 30 SECONDS."
  90. [17:04] <passiveLinguist> I start doing jumping jacks in preparation.
  91. [17:04] <@Aberrant> ((Morden cannot see all of that previous text))
  92. [17:04] * firsthandEntropy stretches his fingers, preparing for full micro mouse skills that he has slowly developed by excersizing his fingers regularly
  93. [17:05] <@Aberrant> "5 seconds."
  94. [17:06] <passiveLinguist> I slap both of my cheeks with the palms of my hands.
  95. [17:07] <@Aberrant> Both of your screens flash the words "BEGIN!". Morden, your screen lights up and shows a rather unusual scene. ((Lutrin, please describe what Morden sees.)) Lutrin, you immediately notice the temperature inside the apartment drop to a fair amount below freezing. Intense red light suddenly appears all around your windows and you hear a great roaring noise from above you. Probably that 13 mile meteor.
  96. [17:07] <firsthandEntropy> !roll 1d20+2 PUT DOWN ALL THE MACHINES IN LESS THAN TWO SECONDS
  97. [17:07] <Tyche[Dice]> firsthandEntropy rolled : 1d20+2 PUT DOWN ALL THE MACHINES IN LESS THAN TWO SECONDS --> [ 1d20=10 ]{12}
  98. [17:08] <firsthandEntropy> I also put down the card next to the long machine
  99. [17:08] <@Aberrant> Morden, you notice three buttons at the top of your screen. Buttons that you have never seen before. There is one that looks like a cursor, one that looks like a weird blocky shape thing, and another that looks like a screwed up captchalogue card.
  100. [17:08] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, please describe your environment for Morden.
  101. [17:09] <passiveLinguist> You currently see a room, about 30 by 30 feet in diameter. The room is actually a kitchen and a living room combined, but there is no furniture in the living room. There's a small bathroom off to the side, entered through the living room.
  102. [17:09] <passiveLinguist> The ground is LITTERED with gameboys.
  103. [17:09] <passiveLinguist> There's a PSI battery on the kitchen counter.
  104. [17:10] <firsthandEntropy> As my random clicking didn't seem to have any effect, I quickly make room on the floor by stacking the gameboys rather quickly. Its like gathering loot from fish
  105. [17:10] <@Aberrant> As soon as you pick up the first game boy, the entire building begins shaking violently.
  106. [17:10] <passiveLinguist> "WHAT, DID YOU, DO?"
  107. [17:10] <@Aberrant> The gameboys are clattering and bouncing all about. Lutrin, make an acrobatics check.
  108. [17:10] <passiveLinguist> "THE GAMEBOYS, ARE MACHINES! YOU'VE ANGERED, THE MACHINE, GODS!"
  109. [17:11] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20-1
  110. [17:11] <firsthandEntropy> I click on the screwed up capcha card
  111. [17:11] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, your computer starts playing this music
  112. [17:11] <@Aberrant> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e056R97svz8
  113. [17:11] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=7 ]{6}
  114. [17:12] <passiveLinguist> I start screaming.
  115. [17:12] <@Aberrant> You are having trouble standing up and walking in a straight line with all the shaking, but you manage to not fall down. You're having a really hard time walking around without tripping on all the friggin bouncing gameboys.
  116. [17:12] <firsthandEntropy> ((Dice must have been lagging))
  117. [17:12] <@Aberrant> Morden,
  118. [17:12] <passiveLinguist> ((Oh by the way, I'm actually on the 5th floor, not the 4th.) )
  119. [17:13] <@Aberrant> A different panel opens up, this time divided into a large number of blank gray squares.
  120. [17:13] <@Aberrant> The upper left square has was looks like a slightly beveled green cube in it, next to a green cylinder in the corner.
  121. [17:15] <firsthandEntropy> I close the menu, as this is not waht I am looking for
  122. [17:15] <@Aberrant> You do so.
  123. [17:15] <firsthandEntropy> I open the blocky thing
  124. [17:16] <@Aberrant> You see a large panel pop up that covers most of the screen. It's gray and is divided into numerous rectangles.
  125. [17:16] <@Aberrant> Every single rectangle contains a gray question mark except for the upper left one which contains the same weird blue hexagon-y shape.
  126. [17:16] <@Aberrant> Next to the hexagon is a bar which is full and is labeled "20".
  127. [17:16] <firsthandEntropy> Huh, I think the imp I hit turned into those. Odd.
  128. [17:16] <firsthandEntropy> I close this menu as well, and out of desperation, click the last button, a cursor
  129. [17:17] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, it is REALLY fucking cold. Make a constitution check.
  130. [17:17] <@Aberrant> Also, you can't help but notice there are still no machines anywhere.
  131. [17:17] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20
  132. [17:17] <passiveLinguist> "What, are you even, DOING! MY LIFESPAN, IS GETTING, SIGNIFICANTLLY, SHORTER BY, THE SECOND!"
  133. [17:18] <@Aberrant> 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. MOVE seems to be currently selected.
  134. [17:18] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{2}
  135. [17:18] <firsthandEntropy> I click deploy, as that seems like what I am looking for
  136. [17:18] <firsthandEntropy> (( D: that roll ))
  137. [17:18] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you start shivering horribly, making any attempt at moving around even more difficult.
  138. [17:19] <@Aberrant> Morden, 3 suboptions pop up.
  139. [17:19] <@Aberrant> 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.
  140. [17:19] <@Aberrant> However, something is.... off about these.
  141. [17:19] <@Aberrant> You can't put your finger on it, but these machines don't look quite like the ones you had.
  142. [17:20] <firsthandEntropy> Disregarding my off feeling, as I need to be fast, I quickly but all of them down on top of the foundation of gameboys. Made out of Trollnintendium, they should hold up.
  143. [17:20] <passiveLinguist> ((Can I warm myself with prestedigitation?))
  144. [17:20] <@Aberrant> ((yes))
  145. [17:20] <firsthandEntropy> put* not but
  146. [17:20] <@Aberrant> Which machine are you placing first?
  147. [17:20] <passiveLinguist> I focus my mind and cast prestedigitation on myself to warm myself up!
  148. [17:21] <@Aberrant> You feel a WHOLE lot better.
  149. [17:21] <@Aberrant> Everything is still cold as fuck though.
  150. [17:21] <firsthandEntropy> I put down the tall one
  151. [17:21] <firsthandEntropy> then the long one
  152. [17:21] <firsthandEntropy> then the flat one
  153. [17:21] <@Aberrant> You're not going to stay warm too long.
  154. [17:22] <@Aberrant> You drag out the CRUXTRUDER to find it's HUGE!!!!
  155. [17:22] <@Aberrant> Easily over twice as large as the one you have.
  156. [17:23] <@Aberrant> It also has this weird big red circle around it that essentially covers the entire floor of the apartment building.
  157. [17:23] <firsthandEntropy> I put it down anyway.
  158. [17:23] <@Aberrant> You deploy the CRUXTRUDER, and almost the whole fifth floor area, the area inside the circle, blinks red and then the CRUXTRUDER appears.
  159. [17:24] <firsthandEntropy> "What is this game? Its nothing like Unonline."
  160. [17:24] <@Aberrant> It proceeds to land on the floor, completely crushing all of the game boys underneath it, as well as the floor below it.
  161. [17:24] <passiveLinguist> "THE ROBOT OVERLORDS, HAVE CHANGED, IT! THIS WAS, THEIR PLAN, ALL ALONG!"
  162. [17:24] <firsthandEntropy> ((Trollnintendium is obviously inferior))
  163. [17:24] <@Aberrant> It plummets to the floor below with a tremendous ***CRASH***
  164. [17:24] <@Aberrant> The water pipes inside the floor, now burst open, begin spewing water in the general area.
  165. [17:24] <firsthandEntropy> "I just realized this is you in real life. Holy crap."
  166. [17:25] <passiveLinguist> "This is the, real me, yes!"
  167. [17:25] <passiveLinguist> I jump through the water onto the floor beneath me!
  168. [17:25] <@Aberrant> You land amidst the rubble next to the absurdly massive machine.
  169. [17:26] <@Aberrant> There seems to be an enormous lid about 4 feet across on the top of the machine that is welded shut.
  170. [17:26] <firsthandEntropy> I pull out the totem lathe, and try to find a place to put it.
  171. [17:26] <firsthandEntropy> Thinking of a better Idea, I drop it on top of the cruxtruder's lid
  172. [17:26] <@Aberrant> You try and find a place on the 5th floor but find that you can't place it anywhere inside that red area from before, including above the cruxtruder.
  173. [17:26] <firsthandEntropy> I place it anyway
  174. [17:26] <passiveLinguist> I try drop kicking the lid!
  175. [17:26] <firsthandEntropy> !roll 1d20
  176. [17:26] <Tyche[Dice]> firsthandEntropy rolled : 1d20 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{20}
  177. [17:27] <passiveLinguist> O
  178. [17:27] <firsthandEntropy> ((Cracking up right now))
  179. [17:27] <@Aberrant> You do seem to be able to place it on the 4th floor, although it still has that large red circle around it.
  180. [17:27] <@Aberrant> Despite the game not wanting you to place it above the cruxtruder, you DO ANYWAYS.
  181. [17:28] <@Aberrant> The MASSIVE totem lathe begins falling towards the cruxtruder before your game freezes.
  182. [17:28] <firsthandEntropy> I flex once in victory, before pulling out the alchimeter and putting it on the fourth floor
  183. [17:28] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you see the enormous totem lathe freeze in midair.
  184. [17:28] <firsthandEntropy> ((It freezes? wut.))
  185. [17:28] <passiveLinguist> "wha"
  186. [17:28] <firsthandEntropy> ((Best direction. ))
  187. [17:28] <@Aberrant> You both see a massive pixelated text in the air near the cruxtruder.
  188. [17:28] <@Aberrant> "FUCK YOU!"
  189. [17:28] <@Aberrant> The totem lathe vanishes completely.
  190. [17:28] <firsthandEntropy> ((What. XD)
  191. [17:29] <@Aberrant> Your game unfreezes
  192. [17:29] <firsthandEntropy> ((BEST))
  193. [17:29] <@Aberrant> The totem lathe proceeds to appear on the second floor, turning the floor red and crashing down to the first floor.
  194. [17:29] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you hear a crashing noise from somewhere below.
  195. [17:29] <firsthandEntropy> I put the alchimeter on the fourth floor.
  196. [17:29] <passiveLinguist> "You've messed, up man. The machines, are OUT to, get you, now."
  197. [17:30] <@Aberrant> You put the alchemiter on the fourth floor, and unsurprisingly, it falls through the floor to the third floor.
  198. [17:30] <@Aberrant> You notice that this alchemiter is also enormous.
  199. [17:30] <@Aberrant> It seems to have some additional small circular table on the side that yours didn't have
  200. [17:30] <@Aberrant> Also it's surrounded with swirling blades.
  201. [17:30] <@Aberrant> The cruxtruder remains unharmed.
  202. [17:31] <@Aberrant> You are going to need some serious STRENGTH to get that lid off.
  203. [17:31] <passiveLinguist> Not for long.
  204. [17:31] <passiveLinguist> I attack the lid with EYEBEAMS
  205. [17:31] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20+3
  206. [17:31] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{17}
  207. [17:32] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d10+3
  208. [17:32] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d10+3 --> [ 1d10=1 ]{4}
  209. [17:32] <passiveLinguist> oh
  210. [17:32] <@Aberrant> Your EYEBEAMS are absorbed by the metal and it begins glowing orange in the area where you hit it.
  211. [17:33] <passiveLinguist> I swing at the lid with my bamboo stick!
  212. [17:33] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20
  213. [17:33] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20 --> [ 1d20=8 ]{8}
  214. [17:33] <@Aberrant> You hit it.
  215. [17:33] <@Aberrant> *clank*
  216. [17:33] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d6
  217. [17:33] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d6 --> [ 1d6=3 ]{3}
  218. [17:33] <@Aberrant> Your bamboo stick seems slightly blackened where it hit the glowing metal.
  219. [17:34] <@Aberrant> The 4 foot diameter hunk of metal seems unmoved.
  220. [17:39] <firsthandEntropy> I attempt to place the card directly into the slot on the totem lathe
  221. [17:40] <@Aberrant> You notice that the card is approximately a meter wide.
  222. [17:40] <passiveLinguist> I attempt to lift the lid using telekinesis.
  223. [17:40] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20+3
  224. [17:40] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{19}
  225. [17:41] <@Aberrant> It is also surrounded by a red circle preventing you from placing it on any of the floors with machines already on them. The 2nd floor is the only free floor.
  226. [17:41] <@Aberrant> You hit with telekinesis. How powerful is it?
  227. [17:41] <firsthandEntropy> I place the card on the second floor
  228. [17:41] <firsthandEntropy> "I put everything down now."
  229. [17:42] <passiveLinguist> Just level 1 telekenisis.
  230. [17:42] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you notice the water that has been spraying everywhere is now freezing all over the floor.
  231. [17:42] <firsthandEntropy> Having an idea, I lift the card from its current position, and move it to the floor where the lathe is
  232. [17:42] <@Aberrant> It does not appear to have any visible effect.
  233. [17:42] <@Aberrant> The card does not be able to be able to pass through the floor.
  234. [17:43] <firsthandEntropy> What floor? I thought it collapsed?
  235. [17:43] <@Aberrant> ((the visible effect was for the telekinesis))
  236. [17:43] <@Aberrant> Even through the hole in the floor, it does not go. It blinks red and a little error noise comes out of your speakers.
  237. [17:44] <firsthandEntropy> I groan
  238. [17:44] <@Aberrant> You see Lutrin seeming to have a great deal of difficulty with the lid.
  239. [17:44] <firsthandEntropy> "I don't think I can do anything else."
  240. [17:44] <firsthandEntropy> "Good luck"
  241. [17:44] <passiveLinguist> I jump on top of a table, avoiding the water.
  242. [17:44] <@Aberrant> The alchemiter blades continue spinning.
  243. [17:44] <firsthandEntropy> Having another idea, I look for if there is a celing above the floor with the cruxtruder
  244. [17:44] <passiveLinguist> I jump down, and run towards the cruxtruder. I try spinning the wheel.
  245. [17:45] <@Aberrant> The ceiling right above the cruxtruder is missing because it fell through, but there is a ceiling in the ceiling of the floor above!
  246. [17:46] <firsthandEntropy> I use the delete function on the celiing, removeing the outline of a sqare, leaving the top celing not attached to the walls
  247. [17:46] <firsthandEntropy> "Please watch out from above."
  248. [17:46] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you hear a crunching sound above you.
  249. [17:46] <@Aberrant> Followed by an IMMENSE ***BANG***
  250. [17:46] <@Aberrant> Morden, you collapse the fifth floor ceiling.
  251. [17:47] <@Aberrant> This is also connected to the roof.
  252. [17:47] <passiveLinguist> "Oh god, my apartment, building."
  253. [17:47] <@Aberrant> The entire roof collapses, hitting the floor of the 5th floor.
  254. [17:47] <@Aberrant> Half of the floor on the 5th floor also gives way, cascading debris into the 4th floor.
  255. [17:47] <@Aberrant> Lutrin make an acrobatics check.
  256. [17:48] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20-1
  257. [17:48] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{16}
  258. [17:48] <@Aberrant> You leap out of the way to the half of the floor that is not currently caving in!
  259. [17:48] <@Aberrant> Wood splinters and plaster dust fly EVERYWHERE
  260. [17:49] <@Aberrant> With a tremendous CLANG the debris falls from two floors up and hits the top of the cruxtruder on the orange weak spot.
  261. [17:49] <passiveLinguist> I approach the cruxtruder again, and try to find out how to get the damn lid off.
  262. [17:49] <@Aberrant> You both see a bright flash of brilliant gold light.
  263. [17:49] <@Aberrant> Debris flies off of the cruxtruder as a huge glowing ball comes out of the cruxtruder tube, about 3 feet in diameter.
  264. [17:50] <@Aberrant> The display also lights up
  265. [17:50] <firsthandEntropy> "I apologize for the damage. I hope you are not mad."
  266. [17:50] <@Aberrant> 0:30
  267. [17:50] <passiveLinguist> "Hey, better than, getting crushed by, a huge, meteor."
  268. [17:50] <@Aberrant> Now that you are over here.....
  269. [17:50] <@Aberrant> Speaking of which......
  270. [17:50] <@Aberrant> There is no roof.
  271. [17:50] <@Aberrant> You cannot help but notice something is wrong with the sky.
  272. [17:50] <@Aberrant> The entire sky is obscured by one massive glowing red meteor
  273. [17:51] <passiveLinguist> My eyes widen
  274. [17:51] <passiveLinguist> "oh"
  275. [17:51] <@Aberrant> You step from the freezing interior of your apartment into blazing radiative heat.
  276. [17:51] <@Aberrant> You feel like you might be getting sunburned just from standing out here.
  277. [17:51] <passiveLinguist> I run towards the cruxtruder and spin the wheel!
  278. [17:51] <@Aberrant> A 3 foot diameter gold cylinder flies out of the tube on top and tumbles down to the ground.
  279. [17:52] <firsthandEntropy> "I think something is supposed to go into that thing. It made my dad when I put some of him in. Is a gameboy alright?"
  280. [17:52] <@Aberrant> You notice your hair feels really really hot, Lutrin.
  281. [17:52] <passiveLinguist> "Ugh god, what's a good, word for, this in, Latin."
  282. [17:53] <passiveLinguist> ((TFW opening the cruxtruder was hard))
  283. [17:53] <firsthandEntropy> I pick up the cylinder and roll it over to the hole down to the floordown to the lathe
  284. [17:53] <firsthandEntropy> "There.
  285. [17:53] <passiveLinguist> I look at the cylinder, say "Tubus!" and captchalogue it.
  286. [17:53] <passiveLinguist> Or it's at the lathe now.
  287. [17:53] <passiveLinguist> "Thanks"
  288. [17:53] <passiveLinguist> I jump down to the lathe, and try to carve the tube.
  289. [17:54] <@Aberrant> You can roll the tube over to the hole, but Lutrin must give it a push down the hole as the game does not let you move the cylinder between floors again.
  290. [17:54] <@Aberrant> The Totem tumbles down to the lathe.
  291. [17:54] <@Aberrant> You're glad to get out of that painful heat. You're pretty sure you smelled smoke coming from your hair for a moment there.
  292. [17:55] <passiveLinguist> I attempt to place the totem on the lathe and carve it.
  293. [17:55] <@Aberrant> Make a strength check.
  294. [17:56] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20
  295. [17:56] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20 --> [ 1d20=2 ]{2}
  296. [17:56] <passiveLinguist> Foiled by dice.
  297. [17:56] <@Aberrant> You fail to lift the great cylinder.
  298. [17:56] <firsthandEntropy> I pick up the card from the second floor, rotate it so it is sideways, and put it on a floating bit of debris above the hole in the top roof
  299. [17:56] <@Aberrant> It is REALLY heavy
  300. [17:57] <passiveLinguist> You sigh, and use the last of your psi to lift the totem.
  301. [17:57] <@Aberrant> The totem lifts into the lathe.
  302. [17:57] <@Aberrant> The card still seems constrained to the 2nd floor.
  303. [17:57] <firsthandEntropy> "The card is stuck on the second floor. Sorry."
  304. [17:58] <@Aberrant> Morden, you see the half of the 5th floor which did not collapse begin smoking and burst into flames from the heat from the meteor above.
  305. [17:58] <passiveLinguist> "UGH"
  306. [17:59] <passiveLinguist> I run up to the 2nd floor. I look at the card and say "Pecto!", captchaloguing it.
  307. [17:59] <@Aberrant> You do so, finding the running to be nice in warming you up from this damned cold! You see frost appearing on the inside of the windows, twinkling eerily int he bright red light from outside.
  308. [18:00] <passiveLinguist> I jump down again, wiping the sweat off of my brow, and insert the card into the totem lathe.
  309. [18:00] <passiveLinguist> "Hey, where'd you put, the last machine, thingy?"
  310. [18:01] <@Aberrant> Morden, you see the alchemiter on the 3rd floor.
  311. [18:01] <firsthandEntropy> "Its on the third floor."
  312. [18:02] <@Aberrant> The exposed part of the 4th floor begins smoking and the large glowing ball descends to the third floor to avoid the heat and fire.
  313. [18:03] <@Aberrant> In a sudden burst of activity, the massive totem lathe jumps to life spraying sparkling gold fragments everywhere!
  314. [18:04] <@Aberrant> The totem lathe essentially carves away the entirety of the enormous dowel, sending a whole lot of waste gold stuff raining down on you.
  315. [18:04] <@Aberrant> The fragments proceed to jump around on the ground as the rumbling continues.
  316. [18:04] <@Aberrant> What is left is a small curvy shape, about the same size as the thing you saw Amelia make.
  317. [18:05] <passiveLinguist> I shout "Sculpere" at the carved totem, and run up to the aclehmiter on the 3rd floor.
  318. [18:05] <passiveLinguist> "Oh god, please, work."
  319. [18:05] <@Aberrant> You do so.
  320. [18:05] <passiveLinguist> I place the totem on the alchemiter.
  321. [18:06] <@Aberrant> You see the massive golden ball floating by the alchemiter.
  322. [18:06] <@Aberrant> The alchemiter looks roughly the same as the one you gave Amelia, except for a couple things.
  323. [18:06] <passiveLinguist> "Whoa, who the, fuck're, you?"
  324. [18:06] <passiveLinguist> I swat at the orb with my left hand.
  325. [18:06] <@Aberrant> There's a small circular platform jutting out on the side covered in what seems to be some electronics and lenses.
  326. [18:06] <@Aberrant> The orb jumps back.
  327. [18:06] <@Aberrant> You smell smoke.
  328. [18:07] <@Aberrant> Lots of smoke.
  329. [18:07] <passiveLinguist> "Alright bud, as long as, you don't, attack me, we're good."
  330. [18:07] <@Aberrant> The other difference with the alchemiter is that there are swirling metal blades dancing around it's exterior.
  331. [18:07] <@Aberrant> They seem to be glowing gold in color and spinning very very rapidly.
  332. [18:07] <passiveLinguist> "Hey uh, firsthand, can you please, place this, thing, on that, thing?"
  333. [18:07] <@Aberrant> The ball dances around near the spinning blades of a similar color.
  334. [18:08] <passiveLinguist> "Oh, so you're controlling, these fuckers, huh?"
  335. [18:09] <firsthandEntropy> I put the dowel on the alchimeter, as requested
  336. [18:09] <passiveLinguist> I step back a few steps, and then shout "STEGA!"
  337. [18:09] <passiveLinguist> My deck of tarot cards flies out towards the orb!
  338. [18:09] <@Aberrant> The dowel is knocked out of the cursor's grip by the rapidly spinning blades, landing in the corner of the room.
  339. [18:10] <@Aberrant> Distracted by the flying dowel, the orb is caught unawares by your card assault!
  340. [18:10] <@Aberrant> In a brilliant gold flash, the cards are absorbed into the orb and the blades freeze.
  341. [18:10] <@Aberrant> They seem to be slowly starting to spin again.
  342. [18:10] <firsthandEntropy> before the get too fast, I put the dowl on the alchimeter
  343. [18:10] <@Aberrant> You do so.
  344. [18:10] <firsthandEntropy> they * dowel *
  345. [18:11] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you hear a cacophony of noise coming from outside.
  346. [18:12] <@Aberrant> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eN7oq8oekw is echoing and ringing from all over outside your apartment.
  347. [18:12] <@Aberrant> It's almost as if every church and clocktower in the city were ringing out the alarm of the impending doom.
  348. [18:12] <passiveLinguist> "Huh, I've heard this, music before."
  349. [18:12] <@Aberrant> As soon as the dowel makes it past the blades, you notice the extraneous pad light up.
  350. [18:12] <passiveLinguist> "Wait, where the, hell, is that, music, even coming, from?"
  351. [18:13] <@Aberrant> A holographic projection of a small gold rectangle appears floating in the air.
  352. [18:13] <@Aberrant> A bright green button lights up on the front of the alchemiter.
  353. [18:14] <passiveLinguist> I slam both fists on the green button while screaming
  354. [18:14] <@Aberrant> In a flash of gold light, something appears on the large circular table in the center of the blades which are beginning to start spinning again.
  355. [18:15] <passiveLinguist> Dammit, I used all my psi powers. I'm totally drained right now.
  356. [18:15] <passiveLinguist> I try to avoid the blades and grab the item!
  357. [18:15] <@Aberrant> Make an acrobatics check.
  358. [18:15] <firsthandEntropy> I try to stop the blades with my cursor
  359. [18:15] <firsthandEntropy> !roll 1d20
  360. [18:15] <Tyche[Dice]> firsthandEntropy rolled : 1d20 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{6}
  361. [18:16] <@Aberrant> Morden, you notice the fire on the 5th floor spreading to the exterior walls.
  362. [18:16] <firsthandEntropy> (aw)
  363. [18:16] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20-1
  364. [18:16] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{12}
  365. [18:16] <firsthandEntropy> I delete the walls from the fourth floor and above, hoping to get them to fall outwards to stop the spread of the flames
  366. [18:16] <@Aberrant> Lutrin, you leap through the blades, taking 3 slashing damage.
  367. [18:16] <@Aberrant> As soon as you make it inside, the blades begin spinning rapidly, trapping you inside.
  368. [18:17] <@Aberrant> You see the object below you on the table.
  369. [18:17] <@Aberrant> https://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr2yntaqPI1qfcdjio1_500.jpg
  370. [18:17] <@Aberrant> It is a fucking game of operation
  371. [18:17] <@Aberrant> but with a single item to be removed
  372. [18:17] <firsthandEntropy> (( lol ))
  373. [18:17] <passiveLinguist> NOOOOOOOOO
  374. [18:17] <@Aberrant> The "funny bone"
  375. [18:17] <passiveLinguist> I headbutt the board of operation!
  376. [18:17] <@Aberrant> You hear a massive ***CRASH*** from upstairs
  377. [18:17] <@Aberrant> Morden, you remove the 4th floor walls, halting the spread of flames
  378. [18:18] <@Aberrant> This causes the remaining ceiling of the 4th floor to crash to the floor below it, along with the debris from the roof and 5th floor on top of it.
  379. [18:18] <firsthandEntropy> !roll 1d20 to NOT cause a cascade reaction
  380. [18:18] <Tyche[Dice]> firsthandEntropy rolled : 1d20 to NOT cause a cascade reaction --> [ 1d20=18 ]{18}
  381. [18:18] <@Aberrant> A fair chunk of the 4th floor is now leveled, but the fire seems to be halted for now.
  382. [18:18] <@Aberrant> You headbut the game.
  383. [18:18] <@Aberrant> It buzzes angrily.
  384. [18:19] <passiveLinguist> Looks like I have to do this the hard way then.
  385. [18:19] <passiveLinguist> I grab the tweezers and try to pull the funny bone out.
  386. [18:19] <@Aberrant> Make a dexterity check
  387. [18:19] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20-1
  388. [18:19] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{13}
  389. [18:19] <@Aberrant> You get the bone about halfway out before the rumbling of the ground causes you to bump the edge.
  390. [18:20] <@Aberrant> An angry buzzing noise comes from the game and you take 1 shock damage
  391. [18:20] <@Aberrant> The bone remains halfway out where you dropped it.
  392. [18:20] <passiveLinguist> UGH
  393. [18:20] <passiveLinguist> I try again
  394. [18:20] <firsthandEntropy> ((if it doesn't work, try using prestidigitation, to trick the game into thinking you won))
  395. [18:20] <@Aberrant> The bells continue tolling in the distance.
  396. [18:20] <passiveLinguist> !roll 1d20-1
  397. [18:20] <Tyche[Dice]> passiveLinguist rolled : 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{18}
  398. [18:20] <firsthandEntropy> ((or just roll high :P ))
  399. [18:20] <passiveLinguist> Lutrin is offended that you'd think she would cheat at a board game >:(
  400. [18:20] <@Aberrant> You remove the bone.
  401. [18:20] <@Aberrant> All at once, every single thing around you vanishes.
  402. [18:21] <@Aberrant> You are stuck sitting on a table.
  403. [18:21] <@Aberrant> Holding a gold game of operation
  404. [18:21] <passiveLinguist> "What"
  405. [18:21] <@Aberrant> Everything is black
  406. [18:21] <@Aberrant> The blades are gone
  407. [18:21] <@Aberrant> Your house is gone
  408. [18:21] <@Aberrant> OR at least you can't see it
  409. [18:21] <@Aberrant> But those bells
  410. [18:21] <@Aberrant> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eN7oq8oekw
  411. [18:21] <@Aberrant> They continue tolling and echoing all around you through the darkness.
  412. [18:21] <@Aberrant> It gives you a massive headache.
  413. [18:21] <@Aberrant> Morden, your screen goes black.
  414. [18:22] <passiveLinguist> "Ugh, where, am, I?"
  415. [18:22] <@Aberrant> You barely manage to squeeze those words out amongst the racket around you when a particularly loud bell crash comes from somewhere in front of you.
  416. [18:22] <@Aberrant> Your vision is flooded with images of a tan mountainous landscape.
  417. [18:23] <@Aberrant> And then all is gone.
