Edge: A Wildmans Valentine

[00:31] <Rapey_Lemons> As continuing from last time:
[00:32] <Rapey_Lemons> You walk into the restuarant, The Mombasa Cooker and Market. Inside is a scattered group of tables, the interior brightly light, and a counter extending across the room with various signs displaying the prices of food upon them.
[00:32] <Rapey_Lemons> A man and a woman are inside, sitting at one of the tables and looking nervously at the five of you.
[00:32] <Rapey_Lemons> Your parents walk up to them and greet them, smiling welcomingly.
[00:33] * Liz gives a wave before trying to find something to eat.
[00:33] <Rapey_Lemons> "Hello, this is Jerry, my husband, and I'm Catalina..."
[00:33] <Rapey_Lemons> Their conversation trails off as you head toeward the counters.
[00:34] <Rapey_Lemons> Food is still displayed behind the counters, some of the soups and meat still warm.
[00:34] <Rapey_Lemons> Behind the counters is the food preparation area, and a door in that area leads to the storerooms.
[00:35] <Rapey_Lemons> Brianna and Sam also grab a bite to eat and pour themselves drinks, the soda dispensers still working.
[00:35] * Liz grabs a plate with meat and heads for one of the tables, kitten now resting in her cleavage.
[00:37] <Rapey_Lemons> You choose a table and sit down, Sam and Brianna joining you as the three of you eating in amicable silence.
[00:37] <Rapey_Lemons> The kitten stirs from the scent of the meat and eventually wakes up, meowing at you.
[00:38] * Liz scratches its head before holding a small piece of meat in front of it.
[00:40] <Rapey_Lemons> It immediately lunges for it and grabs it, chewing and swallowing. You feed it a few more pieces before its full, the kitten eventually going back to sleep.
[00:40] <Rapey_Lemons> Brianna looks at you with puppy eyes. "Can I touch it?"
[00:40] <Liz> "You wanna touch my pussy......"
[00:40] <Liz> "Cat?"
[00:41] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam frowns at you as he drops the chicken bone to the plate, but decides not to comment.
[00:42] <Rapey_Lemons> "Yes please," Brianna says eagerly.
[00:42] * Liz wipes her hands before lifting the kitten out of her shirt and sets it on the table between the two.
[00:43] <Rapey_Lemons> Brianna eagerly begins gently petting it, the small kitten not minding as it sleeps.
[00:43] <Rapey_Lemons> Your parents are still talking quietly with the other couple, occassional smiles being exchanged as they get to know each other.
[00:44] <Rapey_Lemons> (Would you like to do anything else during this time?)
[00:44] <Liz> "Come to think of it...."
[00:44] * Liz checks to see the gender of the kitten
[00:45] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll animal
[00:46] <Liz> )roll 1d100-20
[00:46] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100-20 and gets 14."
[00:47] <Rapey_Lemons> You're not completely sure about the gender, considering how fluffy the small kitten seems to be, but you're reasonably sure that it's a female.
[00:48] <Liz> "Y'know....you think it'd be easier to look for a cat's genetalia to check the gender...."
[00:49] <Rapey_Lemons> (basically the fur is covering up the privates, so unless you want to get handy with it...)
[00:49] <Rapey_Lemons> "Well, uh, it looks like it's a she," Sam offers.
[00:50] <Liz> "Ah well.....from now on girl or boy your name is Chi."
[00:50] <Rapey_Lemons> "It's so cute," Brianna squeals.
[00:50] <Rapey_Lemons> "That's a cute name too!"
[00:50] <Rapey_Lemons> (anything else you'd like to do for the next two hours?)
[00:50] <Liz> (Nope)
[00:50] <Liz> (Just rest)
[00:52] <Rapey_Lemons> You spend the next two hours with Sam and Brianna, while the adults talk by themselves. It seems like the whole group is taking this opportunity to rest for awhile and organize their thoughts.

<Switch>

[00:56] <Rapey_Lemons> The two-hour car ride is relatively uneventful, the trip taking a little longer than expected due to a few spots of traffic. The child has fallen asleep in Georgina's arms. Georgina has been awake the entire car ride, deep in thought.
[00:56] <Rapey_Lemons> But when the GPS says that you're a mile or so away from the destination, a roadblock appears up ahead of you, the cars in front of you being redirected by a group of police officers. Concrete barriers have been set up on the road, a squadron of police cars flashing behind it.
[00:56] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina sits up straighter, gently setting the child to her side as she looks at the roadblock. "So there is something going on here," she breathes.
[00:57] <~Kai> "...I'll be getting out here, you go"
[00:58] * ~Kai stops the car, and gets out
[00:58] * ~Kai begins to accumulate ki
[00:58] <Rapey_Lemons> The land around you is flat, the safari park a small area in the distance. There are few trees nearby, and the sun is beginning to set.
[00:59] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina gets out of the car, gently closing the doors. "Wait," she says, running after you. "I have a better idea."
[00:59] * ~Kai halts for a moment "Quickly than"
[01:01] <Rapey_Lemons> "Look," she says, pointing at the horizon. "The sun's going to set soon, in maybe in an hour or less. If we wait for a little while, I think I might be able to, uh, get you past the blockade in the cover of the night."
[01:02] * ~Kai shakes his head "No, it's best if you leave with the child. I can take care of myself, do not worry"
[01:03] <Rapey_Lemons> "I didn't drive this far to see you get killed," she huffs. "Why can't can you wait for a little while? What are you going to do, punch through the cops?"
[01:04] <Rapey_Lemons> There are 6 cops in front of you, with three cop cars behind the barricades.
[01:04] * ~Kai smiles "No, I intend to get past them before they realize whats happening if they decide not to be agreeable"
[01:04] <Rapey_Lemons> You are currently 200 feet away from the group.
[01:05] <Rapey_Lemons> She looks at you nervously. "We're still a mile away from the park, and they have cars. They could just chase you down."
[01:05] <~Kai> "Trust me Georgina"
[01:07] <Rapey_Lemons> She lets out of a breath. "Okay. But I'm coming to help if it looks like something is going to go wrong. I left my cellphone with the kid so he can call for help if neither of us makes it back. It'll be a while until he wakes up."
[01:07] <~Kai> "If you insist, but remember, that child is relying on you"
[01:08] * ~Kai turns, and, still accumulating, walks towards the police barrier
[01:08] <Rapey_Lemons> Your aura is faintly visible as you walk toward the police barrier.
[01:09] <Rapey_Lemons> (how fast are you going?)
[01:09] <~Kai> at a casual walk
[01:13] <Rapey_Lemons> You have your entire ki reserve accumulated by the time you get there, your aura more visible around you and a strong wind beginnign to blow. Slight tremors begin to occur and bits of gravel float up around you as you reach the row of police officers.
[01:14] <Rapey_Lemons> "Stay back!" they shout, drawing their guns. Startled by your appearance and your bare chest, they immediately point all of their guns at your, flicking off their safeties.
[01:14] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll initiative
[01:14] * ~Kai is calm and and confident, he stops a short distance away
[01:14] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+70
[01:14] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+70 and gets 90."
[01:15] <Rapey_Lemons> Two of the soldiers immediately fire upon you as they shout.
[01:15] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll defense twice, at -20
[01:16] <~Kai> )roll 2#d100+87
[01:16] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 2#d100+87 and gets 137, 161."
[01:17] <Rapey_Lemons> (Sorry, because i'm blind and I misread something, the rolls are 157, 151)
[01:20] <~Kai> As they fire Kai is suddenly just... not there anymore.
[01:20] <~Kai> he is 800 feet behind them
[01:21] <~Kai> Kain runs and accumulates as he does so, for as long and far as he can before they notice
[01:23] <Rapey_Lemons> The officers are completely confused, seeing you disappear in front of them. They around and at each other for a few second before one of them turns around and sees you running down the road at 26 miles per hour, leaving the policemen in the dust as they frantically shout into their radios
[01:23] <Rapey_Lemons> .
[01:24] <Rapey_Lemons> None of the cars chase after you as you continue running.
[01:24] <Rapey_Lemons> (do you stop accumulating?)
[01:25] <~Kai> yes
[01:28] * ~Kai continues toward the Safari park, slowing to a jog after it is clear there is no pursuit
[01:29] <Rapey_Lemons> You're about half a mile away from the safari park when you stop accumulating and start jogging. The gates around the park become more clear as you get closer, the parking lot in front of the place filled with soldiers and armored vans. Spotlights are shining on the park entrances, and soldiers are patrolling the outside.
[01:30] <Rapey_Lemons> "Hey, Kai!" someone calls out from above.
[01:30] * ~Kai looks up, confused
[01:31] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina drops to the ground in front of you, landing in a crouch before straightening up, something on her back suddenly shrinking and disappearing as she brushes the hair out of her face and looks at you, an incredulous expression on her face.
[01:31] <Rapey_Lemons> "Okay, I think i've said this way too many times today, but what the hell was that?"
[01:32] <Rapey_Lemons> "How did you do that?"
[01:32] * ~Kai looks slightly upset that Georgina followed him, but answers "I used my ki to project my body forward, the power of my soul, which resides in all humans"
[01:34] <Rapey_Lemons> "That stuff is real? Damn." She notices your expression. "The kid will be fine. I... made sure that he wouldn't be waking up for awhile. He's breathing steadily and his heart rate seems normal, but I'm not a doctor, so..." She shrugs. "I decided that you'd probably be in more danger, trying to sneak into the park by yourself. What's your plan to get through that?" she asks, pointing toward the swarm of soldiers.
[01:36] <~Kai> "I am not sure yet, but I will come up with something. as for you, you need to go back. I told you, I can handle myself, you say the kid will be alright, but he's still a child, and you left him alone"
[01:38] <Rapey_Lemons> "Kai, it's only been a minute or two. He'll be fine for now. I just wanted to check up on you, make sure you knew what you were doing." She looks at the soldiers. "At this speed, we'll get there in no time. I'll watch out for you while you do your thing, and jump in if you need help."
[01:38] * ~Kai sighs "Fine, but as soon as I make it inside, you must go back to the kid, understood?"
[01:39] <Rapey_Lemons> "Of course," Georgina agrees. "Let's go."
[01:39] * ~Kai turns and continues forward,s topping just out of range, and surveys the soldiers for pen spots in their formation
[01:41] <Rapey_Lemons> The land around here is flat, so the two of you stop around a thousand feet away to avoid being seen. Most of the soldiers are monitoring the park, of course, but it seems like it would be better to stay cautious.
[01:41] * ~Kai chooses to circle around the park, looking for unguarded area's
[01:44] <Rapey_Lemons> (how quickly do you circle the park?)
[01:44] <~Kai> at a cautious pace, as not to make too much noise, and to avoid his movement catching the eyes of the patrols
[01:46] <Rapey_Lemons> The circumference of the park is around 7 miles, and you jog at a moderate pace to avoid being seen and avoid making too much noise. Georgina quietly follows you. It takes about half an hour to circle the zoo.
[01:47] <Rapey_Lemons> It seems that an entire ring of soldiers are surrounding the park, with no easily discernible weak areas. More soldiers arrive as the two of you walk around the park, as though they are gathering in preparation for something.
[01:49] <Rapey_Lemons> A high, thick wall surrounds the free roaming area, about 12 feet high, while the rest of the park merely is enclosed in a 8-foot high metal gate.
[01:49] <Rapey_Lemons> Spotlight have been set up and are positioned every few dozen feet, shining against the wall to make sure no one attempts to escape.
[01:50] <~Kai> "hmm"
[01:50] <Rapey_Lemons> The sun is close to setting, the sky slowly transitioning into night.
[01:51] <Rapey_Lemons> The green flare of chemlights suddenly appear as the soldiers begin cracking them and dropping them to the ground in an area around them.
[01:51] <Rapey_Lemons> "Okay, so it's almost nighttime now," Georgina comments. "I think I can carry you high enough to make sure they don't see us and fly as fast as I can into the zoo."
[01:52] <Rapey_Lemons> "Unless, of course, you can do that teleporting thing and get past those soldiers and that fence."
[01:52] <~Kai> "...I could, but it may be prudent to conserve my reserves... as much as it pains me to put you in danger, you may be right"
[01:56] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina breathes a sigh of relief. "Phew. Okay, just grab onto my arms," she says, holding them out to you.
[01:56] * ~Kai does so
[01:58] <Rapey_Lemons> Her arms, although slender, seem rather solid and strong. A pair of wings suddenly emerges from her back, 10 feet wide and bat-like.
[01:58] <Rapey_Lemons> She crouches, the muscles in her thighs tensing before she leaps into the air, her wings flapping as she does so.
[01:59] * ~Kai does not comment
[01:59] <Rapey_Lemons> "Hang on tight," she grins, flying straight up. "Don't want you to fall from here."
[01:59] <~Kai> "I will keep that in mind"
[02:00] <Rapey_Lemons> The two of you rise a substantial distance into the air, the soldiers just specks below you before she begins flying toward the park. No one sees you as the two of you bypass the ring of soldiers. From your vantage point in the sky, you can see the sheer amount of soldiers surrounding the area, and you can see more vans arriving in the parking lot with even more soldiers.
[02:01] <Rapey_Lemons> "What is going on...?" Georgina murmurs.
[02:01] <Rapey_Lemons> She shakes herself. "Okay, where do you want to be dropped off?"
[02:01] <~Kai> "...please do not be startled, I am going to use my ki for a moment, keep this height"
[02:01] <Rapey_Lemons> You can see the main area below you, where crowds of people are gathered.
[02:02] <Rapey_Lemons> "Okay," she says, grabbing your wrists with her hands tightly.
[02:02] <~Kai> kai accumulates for 12 seconds, and wills his ki into his eye's (See supernatural) and observes the park
[02:06] <Rapey_Lemons> (How long would you like to spend observing?)
[02:06] <~Kai> 3 seconds is all I get

<Switch>

[02:07] <Rapey_Lemons> Liz, you're up.
[02:09] <Rapey_Lemons> The sun is setting. Brianna left a few minutes ago to scout out the area.
[02:09] * Liz is sitting near the window, looking out at the zoo.
[02:10] <Rapey_Lemons> She comes back, now, bursting into the front entrance. "Guys, we've got trouble," she says hurriedly. "Some weird monsters just showed up at near the front gates, where all those people were."
[02:10] <Rapey_Lemons> "People are dying and... well, you have got to see this for yourselves."
[02:11] <Liz> "So you want us to run, towards the danger?"
[02:12] <Rapey_Lemons> "Oh, right," she says, looking at rest of you. "Okay, nevermind, maybe not you. Hey Sam, come on!"
[02:12] <Rapey_Lemons> "Wait, you guys can't go off by yourselves," your father says, standing up.
[02:13] <Rapey_Lemons> "We'll be fine, Mina's dad," Brianna says, grinning. "Those monsters won't be able to catch me."
[02:13] <Rapey_Lemons> "And Sam can take care of himself."
[02:13] <Liz> "Those two have some kind of powers, if anything they should be able to keep themselves safe."
[02:14] <Rapey_Lemons> Your father hesitates. "Powers? Sort of like you?" He thinks for a moment, before sighing and sitting back down. "Then you're right, I don't think I'd be able to do anything."
[02:14] <Liz> "Now, what I think we should do is go raid the Ranger station. There's probably weapons or a radio in there that we can use. I heard the soldiers using portable ones so the signals shouldn't be jammed."
[02:16] <Rapey_Lemons> (you mean, the ranger base at the main area?)
[02:16] <Liz> (Yes)
[02:16] <Rapey_Lemons> "Ranger station? Where's that?" Sam asks.
[02:17] <Liz> "It's one of the buildings near the safari walk. Since this zoo has so many dangerous animals, they would need to have counter measures in case they get out. I'm thinking that means a gun, even if it's only tranquilizer darts it'll help."
[02:18] <Rapey_Lemons> "So, back at the place where all the people were and where all the monsters are gathering?" Brianna asks.
[02:18] <Liz> "Best case scenario? We also find a hatchet from the groundskeeper or something."
[02:19] <Liz> "You said you wanted to go to the danger because we had to see it. I'm giving a reason that will help us survive."
[02:20] <Liz> "Weapons, tools, food, and water. That is what we need to survive, and that's what we should focus on getting."
[02:20] <Rapey_Lemons> "Sounds good to me," Brianna says, nodding.
[02:21] * Liz empties her bag on a table before slinging it across her back.
[02:22] <Rapey_Lemons> Your mother watches the three of you talk and looks wistful. "You guys stay safe out there, alright? I... I usually wouldn't let you go, but... these are some special circumstances, and you're an adult now."
[02:22] <Liz> "Mom, dad, I need you to lock the doors and keep an eye on Chi for me. If anything happens the walk in freezer is the most fortified area."
[02:22] <Liz> "It should keep you safe until we get back."
[02:23] <Rapey_Lemons> They nod at you. The other couple simply looks a little confused and frightened, wondering why the hell three children were going out alone, but they don't comment.
[02:23] <Liz> "Wait one sec."
[02:23] <Rapey_Lemons> Brianna and Sam begin to walk toward the exit.
[02:23] <Rapey_Lemons> They stop and turn back to you. "What's wrong?"
[02:24] * Liz heads to the kitchen and lets the sink run for a bit to start collecting water.
[02:24] * Liz turns it off once she has as much as she can control and heads out with the slime in tow.
[02:25] * Liz gestures back to the slime, "Had to get a refill."
[02:26] <Rapey_Lemons> The other couple gasp simultaneously, the slime startling them. You parents talk softly to them, trying to calm them down.
[02:26] <Rapey_Lemons> "Ah, okay, uh, good," Sam says hesitantly. "Let's go, then."
[02:27] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam and Brianna begin heading out the door.
[02:27] * Liz follows closely behind
[02:30] <Rapey_Lemons> The three of you hear the sounds as you get closer. It's mostly screaming, with some soft moans and sobbing mixed in. The sounds of snapping bones and tearing flesh grow louder as you get closer to the figures thrashing about in the distance. Before you even get to the main area of carnage, a corpse appears to the side of the path ahead of you.
[02:31] <Rapey_Lemons> "Oh yeah, you guys had better take a look at this first," Brianna says, walking toward the thing.
[02:32] * Liz cautiously approaches it.
[02:34] <Rapey_Lemons> The thing is barely recognizable as being previously human. A set of cloven hooves have taken the place of his feet, a misshappen tail jutting out from the base of his spine, malformed wings sprouting from his back, and coils of intestines resting on top of his abdomen.
[02:35] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam stares at it. "Even back /there/, I don't think we saw anything as bad as this," he says, shaking his head. "Any ideas on how this happened?"
[02:37] <Liz> "You sure it's dead?"
[02:39] <Rapey_Lemons> Brianna grabs a nearby stick and pokes it. Its arm flops limply. "Yeah, pretty sure."
[02:39] <Rapey_Lemons> Flies are beginning to settle around its eyes and mouth. You notice that the pupils are vaguely goat-like and the eyes are bulging out.
[02:43] <Liz> "It's not the same mutation I saw before, but it's probably similar. Anyway we better keep moving."
[02:44] <Rapey_Lemons> "Mutation, right," Brianna says. "Now that you mentioned it..."
[02:45] <Rapey_Lemons> "Yeah," Sam says, confirming her thoughts. "But not on this scale."
[02:45] <Rapey_Lemons> They quickly move up ahead, toward the people being attacked.
[02:46] <Rapey_Lemons> The main area opens up in front of you. The carousel has become a battleground, or rather a place a slaughter, as monsters tear the barely-resisting people to shreds.
[02:48] <Liz> "Well, let's avoid that."
[02:49] <Rapey_Lemons> The main area is mostly empty, a few stragglers crawling on the ground or curled up in fetal positions, most of the struggles going on at the buildins and structures to the side where people tried to hide and take shelter.
[02:49] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll notice
[02:49] <Liz> "It should be right across this area."
[02:50] <Liz> )roll 1d100-20
[02:50] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100-20 and gets 34."
[02:51] <Rapey_Lemons> One of the mutated creatures shambles up from behind you, groaning. It's enormously bloated, and you realize that it used to be male, and quite obese by the looks of it.
[02:51] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll initiative
[02:51] <Liz> )roll 1d100+43
[02:51] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+43 and gets 85."
[02:53] <Rapey_Lemons> Brianna shouts a "Watch out!" before the thing pukes toward you, its yellow-green vomit sailing through the air.
[02:54] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll defense
[02:55] <Liz> )roll 1d100+60
[02:55] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+60 and gets 140."
[02:56] <Rapey_Lemons> You barely managed to dodge out of the way, the vomit sailing past you and splattering all over the ground.
[02:57] <Rapey_Lemons> Your turn
[02:57] * Liz grits her teeth before firing a shot of water off at the thing's head.
[02:57] <Liz> )roll 1d100+50
[02:57] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+50 and gets 108."
[03:00] <Rapey_Lemons> You barely miss the zombie, the shot skimming past his head.
[03:01] <Rapey_Lemons> It growls at you, low and guttural.
[03:05] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam's hands glow brightly, light seeming to gather on around his fingers and palm before he shoves them toward the creature. A bright beem of light blasts out from between his hands, scouring the creature's torso. Nothing erupts in flames, but the beam of light leaves a cleanly cut hole, a gout of fluid erupting from it.
[03:06] <Rapey_Lemons> "I'd go in, but I don't want to get covered in that stuff," Brianna says apologetically. "It doesn't look too good."
[03:06] <Rapey_Lemons> The creature roars in pain.
[03:06] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll initiative
[03:06] <Liz> )roll 1d100+43
[03:06] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+43 and gets 64."
[03:09] <Rapey_Lemons> The creature moves extremely quickly, suprising you and Brianna with the speed at which it launches another attack at the you. It seems intent on covering you with its vomit.
[03:09] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll defense -90
[03:10] <Liz> (nah)
[03:10] * Liz moves the water around her to create a bubble of frost, "Hamon Barrier!"
[03:18] <Rapey_Lemons> (You still need to roll block with the barrier, with the -90 penalty)
[03:18] <Rapey_Lemons> (In addition, the barrier only stops supernatural attacks)
[03:18] <Rapey_Lemons> (As listed on the artifact page)
[03:18] <Liz> (I know, she doesn't)
[03:18] <Rapey_Lemons> (haha)
[03:18] <Rapey_Lemons> (roll block -90)
[03:18] <Liz> )roll 1d100-80
[03:18] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100-80 and gets -56."
[03:28] <Rapey_Lemons> THe monster sucks in a breath, about to spew what would surely be a fatal geyster of vomit, but something suddenly comes down from the sky, smashing into the large creature and bouncing off of its massive rolls of flesh.
[03:28] <Rapey_Lemons> Kai's body rips a large chunk of fat out, the monster recoiling in pain as Kai lands on the ground, on his feet, and gets ready to fight.
[03:28] <Liz> "Thank you deus ex machina."
[03:29] <Rapey_Lemons> "Nice entrance," Brianna shouts.
[03:29] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam just stares for a moment before shaking his head and refocusing.
[03:30] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina also lands on the ground a moment later, tucking and rolling to absorb the impact before standing back up.
[03:30] <Rapey_Lemons> "I sort of expected you to squish him," Georgina remarks, patting herself down.
[03:38] <~Kai> BGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xMY1WMQlKM
[03:38] * ~Kai face's the... thing and merely glances backwards "Go, I will take care of this one"
[03:38] <Liz> "You sure?"
[03:38] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam and Brianna stare at you again.
[03:38] <Rapey_Lemons> "What are you saying?"
[03:38] <~Kai> "I am telling you to go, do you not have ears?"
[03:39] <Rapey_Lemons> "Actually, Sam, I don't really think I want to fight this thing," Brianna says, elbowing him.
[03:39] <Rapey_Lemons> "Let the macho dude do it and we'll just go grab the supplies, alright?"
[03:39] <Liz> "In that case....time to run."
[03:39] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam takes one more look before nodding.
[03:40] * Liz sprints in the direction of the Ranger Base
[03:40] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina looks around, gasping a little as she sees the carnage around her.
[03:40] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam and Brianna follow right behind Liz.
[03:40] <Rapey_Lemons> "Kai, you're going to fight this thing alone?"
[03:41] <~Kai> "I will be fine, you make sure those kids are safe"
[03:42] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina nods and runs after the three of you.
[03:42] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll initiative, Kai
[03:43] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+70
[03:43] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+70 and gets 103."
[03:43] <Rapey_Lemons> The mass of fat and vomit heaves liquid at you first, forcing you to react.
[03:43] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll defene
[03:43] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+107
[03:43] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+107 and gets 130."
[03:44] <Rapey_Lemons> The mass of vomit skims by you, close enough that you can feel the heat of the fluid.
[03:44] <Rapey_Lemons> Your turn.
[03:45] * ~Kai closes in and gives it a quick combination punch
[03:45] <~Kai> )roll 2#d100+110
[03:45] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 2#d100+110 and gets 131, 154."
[03:47] <Rapey_Lemons> Each of your strikes push the enormous mass back a few steps, the fat rippling as you smash your fists into it.
[03:48] <Rapey_Lemons> The a bit of vomit leaks out from one of the hole you leave in its fat, and the creature groans a little.
[03:48] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll initiative
[03:48] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+70
[03:48] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+70 and gets 113."
[03:49] <Rapey_Lemons> The creature, being the immmobile mass of flesh it is, cannot match up to your speed.
[03:49] <Rapey_Lemons> Your turn.
[03:49] <Rapey_Lemons> (Nearly immobile*)
[03:49] <~Kai> 2 more punches
[03:49] <~Kai> )roll 2#d100+110
[03:49] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 2#d100+110 and gets 164, 204."
[03:49] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+110
[03:49] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+110 and gets 209."
[03:49] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+110
[03:49] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+110 and gets 201."
[03:49] <Rapey_Lemons> ...
[03:51] <Rapey_Lemons> Your first punch merely opens up another fist-sized holed, but your second punch ruptures its entire torso, its limbs flying off for a few feet as the roll of fat burst, covering you in vomit due to your proximity.
[03:52] <Rapey_Lemons> The lower half of the torso stand there for a moment, the stumps legs holding it upright as the steaming pile of intestines rests upon the two pillars, then slowly topples to the ground.
[03:52] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll dodge
[03:53] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+107
[03:53] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+107 and gets 138."
[03:55] <Rapey_Lemons> (roll style)
[03:56] <~Kai> )roll 1d100+70
[03:56] * Crunk --> "Kai rolls 1d100+70 and gets 153."
[03:57] <Rapey_Lemons> You managed to gracefully, dive into a roll, ducking below the shower of fluids and coming up unscathed, even managed to avoid the puddles of vomit present on the ground. Your martial arts pants are surprisingly clean.
[03:58] * ~Kai scans the area, looking to see if the coast is clear
[04:03] <Rapey_Lemons> The puddles of vomit, however, are giving off a horrendous stench and attracting some other mutated creatures. A monster with an elongated jaw and leathery skin approaches you, its face now distorted and stretched, the skin splitting in places where the altered bone structure stretched it too far. Another woman with bones jutting out from every square inch of her skin stalks toward you, her bone
[04:03] <Rapey_Lemons> claws clicking against the ground as she softly whisperes to herself, her eyes unseeing. And a third monster, something with horrificially abnormal proportions jaunts over toward the puddles, its limbs twice the length of normal limbs and its face twice as long as a normal human's. The tattered remains of a hawaiiann shirt decorate its torso, a camera around its long neck.
[04:03] <~Kai> Kai accumulates ki
[04:04] <Rapey_Lemons> You prepare to attack as the things creep closer, the three creatures creeping toward the puddles of vomit from all sides.

<Switch>

[04:04] <Rapey_Lemons> Liz
[04:05] <Rapey_Lemons> You run toward the ranger base, Sam and Brianna following closely. The entrance is mostly clear, a creature lurking in the shadows next to the door way, but it seems to be standing there and not moving as you approach the ranger base.
[04:06] * Liz takes aim at the creature and fires off a shot before it notices them
[04:07] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll attack
[04:07] <Liz> )roll 1d100+110
[04:07] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+110 and gets 180."
[04:10] <Rapey_Lemons> The thing recoils a little as the ball of water slams into its torso. It turns toward you and hisses, its snake-like eyes and fangs showing as it drops to the ground and crawls toward you.
[04:10] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll initiative
[04:10] <Liz> )roll 1d100+43
[04:10] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+43 and gets 102."
[04:12] <Rapey_Lemons> The thing closes the distance between it and you quickly, its neck joints temporarily dislocating as it spring out to bite you, its skin easily stretching. A tail swishes wildly behind it as it strikes.
[04:12] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll defense
[04:12] <Liz> )roll 1d100+60 for dodge
[04:12] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+60 for dodge and gets 118."
[04:13] <Rapey_Lemons> You easily step out of its way, its fangs snapping shut on nothing but air.
[04:13] <Rapey_Lemons> Counterattack available at +15
[04:13] * Liz fires another shot at the creature
[04:14] <Liz> )roll 1d100+125
[04:14] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+125 and gets 204."
[04:14] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll attack +30
[04:14] <Rapey_Lemons> oh okay
[04:14] <Liz> (Wait +30? I thought you said +15?)
[04:14] <Rapey_Lemons> (+15 from counterattack, +30 from point blank sorry)
[04:15] <Rapey_Lemons> 234 final attack
[04:15] <Liz> (So 234 then?)
[04:18] <Rapey_Lemons> Your ball of water hits it at the same time, exploding into its torso and cracking a few ribs.
[04:18] <Rapey_Lemons> The human-sized lizard creature scuttles backward on three limbs, blood trailing from it.
[04:20] <Rapey_Lemons> In a sudden blur of moment, Brianna neatly severs the top half of its torso from its body, the creature's halves convulsing as it slowly bleeds out. She carefully wraps up her wire and puts it back into her pocket.
[04:21] <Rapey_Lemons> "Alright, we're clear. Let's get the stuff before anything else attacks us," Sam says in a hurry.
[04:21] <Liz> "Right."
[04:23] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam shoves against the door of the Ranger Base, finding it locked, and cuts the hinges with a small beam of light. Inside is a reception desk, with packets of information and maps to the sides of it.
[04:23] <Liz> "Right let's ignore this stuff and head to the back."
[04:23] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll notice
[04:23] <Liz> )roll 1d100-20
[04:23] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100-20 and gets -10."
[04:25] <Rapey_Lemons> None of you notie anything out of the ordinary as you continue forward.
[04:25] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam and Brianna follow your instructions and hop over the counter, heading toward the back of the room.
[04:26] <Rapey_Lemons> Behind the counter is a shelves filled with storage boxes and various office utilities.
[04:27] * Liz tries to look to see if there's an ash tray on the desk.
[04:28] <Rapey_Lemons> There are no ash trays in sight, this area apparently having been a no-smoking zone.
[04:28] <Rapey_Lemons> Sam and Brianna begin taking down the storage containers and opening them up. "Mina, what were you looking for again?"
[04:29] <Liz> "Any tools we can use, and like I said before. This zoo has plenty of dangerous animals so they'd need to keep a rifle and tranquilizer rounds somewhere on the premesis. A Ranger Base with rooms not open to the public seems like our best shot."
[04:32] <Rapey_Lemons> "Mhmm," Brianna says, rummaging through the boxes. "Alright, so here's a flashlight and some walkie-talkies," she says, setting them on the counter. "No spare batteries in here, though."
[04:33] <Rapey_Lemons> "Most of this is just extra pamphlets or paperwork," Sam says, frowning as he sets another container aside.
[04:34] * Liz tries to look for another door or area that could be used for storage.
[04:35] <Rapey_Lemons> There's another door at the back of the area, closed.
[04:36] <Rapey_Lemons> Georgina walks into the room, her hands covered in what seems to be blood.
[04:37] * Liz puts her palm a few inches from the side of the doorknob, in the area where the bolt would go from the door into the wall, then fires a shot
[04:37] <Rapey_Lemons> "Whew, made it," she says to herself. She wipes her hands on some cloth and drops it to the ground.
[04:37] <Rapey_Lemons> "What are you guys looking for?"


<it begins>


[04:37] <Rapey_Lemons> Roll attack
[04:37] <Rapey_Lemons> +30
[04:37] <Liz> )roll 1d100+140
[04:37] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+140 and gets 143."
[04:37] <Rapey_Lemons> ...
[04:39] <Rapey_Lemons> Your shot only barely dents the the side of the doorknob, mostly just harmlessly splashing off of it.
[04:40] <Liz> )roll 1d100+140
[04:40] * Crunk --> "Liz rolls 1d100+140 and gets 194."
[04:40] <Liz> "Damnit....Focus...."
[04:40] <Rapey_Lemons> You shoot the doorknob again, and this time it snaps and drops to the ground.
[04:40] <Rapey_Lemons> The bolt in the door is exposed.
[04:41] <Rapey_Lemons> It seems slightly bent.
