8:55 PM - SDFN: 3
8:55 PM - SDFN: 2
8:55 PM - SDFN: 1
8:55 PM - SDFN: ------------------------
8:56 PM - SDFN: On the outskirts of the wasteland, the party sits, repaired after a day involving their first encounter with a clockwork knight, which ended with said knight dead
8:56 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I remind you all that my left(?) leg is now a sword
8:56 PM - SDFN: It is a new day, and the two other knights who were with the dead man await the party to bring them to their king as requested
8:59 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Well then, shall we be off?"
9:00 PM - Trogdor has changed their name to Cedric.
9:00 PM - Cedric: "I'm still partially in shock sorry"
9:00 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop says nothing, and just keeps walking.
9:00 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Also, Cedric. Are you bringing her with us?"
9:00 PM - SDFN: "We're waiting on you, anything you'd need to take with? This is a one way trip, we aren't escorting your asses back if you fuck up"
9:01 PM - Cedric: "If she wants to come along she is welcome company"
9:01 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Just a reminder, she'll be riding in YOUR cockpit. Make of that what you will."
9:02 PM - SDFN: X:"If I am welcomed, it would be an honor to see the deep wastes, I hear it is quite surreal"
9:02 PM - Cedric: "Unless you plans on leaving out any other 'small' details that almost get any of us murdered..."
9:03 PM - SDFN: X:"That, was a one time affair, I promise"
9:03 PM - Cedric: "..."
9:03 PM - Cedric: "Alright welcome aboard"
9:04 PM - SDFN: The woman strolls up with a grin, getting inbesides you and looking around the cockpit. "And where is a lady supposed to sit around here?"
9:04 PM - Cedric: "Hmmmm"
9:04 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Hmmph."
9:05 PM - Cedric: "Well i didn't have the foresight to install a second seat so i guess we'll just have to share"
9:05 PM - Cedric: "That is, if you don't mind of course"
9:05 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Someone doesn't seem pleased, Bishop. All turned out well, so speak up, What's the issue?"
9:05 PM - SDFN: Xylia plops down in your lap, trying her best not to get in the way
9:05 PM - SDFN: +1 to babes scored for Cedric
9:06 PM - Bishop Hemway: "The issue." Bishop stops walking.
9:06 PM - Bishop Hemway: "The issue is that I guess we're now some sort of heroes."
9:06 PM - Bishop Hemway: "I didnt get that fucking memo."
9:07 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Not when I took that lady by the back and put a blade to her neck."
9:07 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Really? I seem to recall everyone reciving a copy of that memo when we first made ground in search of the ship."
9:07 PM - SDFN: X:"Well, it's not every day men fall from the sky, and want to try and fight their way home, you shouldn't be surprised"
9:08 PM - Bishop Hemway: "I'm... I'm not a hero."
9:08 PM - Bishop Hemway: "There shouldn't be any mistakes there."
9:08 PM - Cedric: "To be honest im still in denial a bit myself, but after all thats happened i've decided to just move on and work out just how crazy all this bullshit is later"
9:09 PM - SDFN: ?:"Can we just get going? I don't mean to be rude, but trust me, you don't want to get caught out in the wastes at night."
9:09 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop sighs.
9:09 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Take the madness in stride, as my Father once said."
9:09 PM - Cedric: "Too many things want me dead for me to waste time thinking about theatrics and heroism, i was just a guy who was suppose to blow up rocks"
9:10 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Look, I get it." Bishop turns to look at the new guy, "Hey, you the guide? What's your name."
9:11 PM - Cedric: (whats the womans name again?)
9:11 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Xylia was it?
9:11 PM - Cedric: (its been like 2 weeks)
9:11 PM - Cedric: (or more)
9:11 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (4 actually :V)
9:11 PM - Cedric: (thats what i thought)
9:11 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (actually it might be 5)
9:12 PM - Cedric: (but yea her name is xylia or????)
9:12 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (Call her Babe, problems solver)
9:12 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (solved*)
9:13 PM - SDFN: I:"Ikau, head of the lancer wing of the knights, my assistant over there isn't very talkative, generally he answers to Orange, after the color of the wing he serves in."
9:14 PM - Bishop Hemway: (who was the xylla's brother's name?)
9:14 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (does it matter he's dead :V)
9:14 PM - SDFN: (You never asked, you just murdered him)
9:14 PM - SDFN: (:V)
9:14 PM - Bishop Hemway: (i didn't touch him with nothin but my sheer intelligence)
9:14 PM - Cedric: ( he fucking offed himself that isn't murder)
9:14 PM - Cedric: (that wasn't even assisted suicide he was just retarded)
9:14 PM - SDFN: (Shh)
9:15 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "An honorable handle, then. But we've dallied about enough. Lead on, Ikau."
9:15 PM - Cedric: *as we move* "What exactly do the different wings do, if i may be so curious?"
9:16 PM - Cedric: "Or is that more of an insider only sort of information"
9:18 PM - SDFN: He starts to walk in the direction of a massive canyon, seeming to be made out of totalled trucks and cars. "I can't talk much about my brethren in the more, classified wings. But as a lancer, we generally scout, make deliveries, and lead the fight, as you could tell from Orange, our color is, well, Orange. You'll probably learn more about the Rangers, Brutes, and Paladins if you have the, heh, pleasure to talk with them. Brass, Silver, and Gold are their colors respectively"
9:18 PM - SDFN: "Just remember, don't fuck with the Paladins, they're the only ones above us, and, they're quick to anger, our little friend back there was training to get in."
9:20 PM - Cedric: "They aren't normally as bad as him right?"
9:20 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Is seppuku a common practice among Paladin initatites?"
9:20 PM - Cedric: "Right?!"
9:20 PM - SDFN: "Well, generally, they spend hours upon hours training, with, illegal enhancements. They are generally as dumb, if not dumber"
9:20 PM - SDFN: "It's only a problem when they get angry"
9:20 PM - Bishop Hemway disconnected.
9:21 PM - SDFN: "Fucking his sister made him a whole lot more than angry"
9:21 PM - Cedric: "Christ, that explains a lot"
9:21 PM - Bishop Hemway entered chat.
9:22 PM - Cedric: "Nope, still don't regret that"
9:22 PM - SDFN: X:"Thank you for saying that, out loud, to everyone"
9:22 PM - Cedric: (was that directed at me or the knight guy)
9:23 PM - SDFN: (You, mostly)
9:23 PM - Bishop Hemway: "It's not really like it's a secret anymore, I mean, the guy did commit suicide in the middle of the camp." Bishop states.
9:24 PM - SDFN: X:"Yes well, he may have been a drugged up maniac, but can we not talk about my brother's death? Even if it was fueled by stupidity and, substances."
9:24 PM - Cedric: "sorry, but yea im pretty sure mostly everyone knew or at least suspected"
9:24 PM - Cedric: "Quiet bishop"
9:25 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Perseus snorts in amusement, having no words to say
9:25 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Not that he needs to say anything
9:25 PM - SDFN: X:"How about we change topics, anything but my brother, or what went on in my tent?"
9:25 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: cause he's cool
9:25 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop drops the subject and turns to Skyren, "Hey man, you haven't really said a word since yesterday."
9:26 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop leans in to whisper to Pers, "I might have scared him more than that loon with the sword did."
9:26 PM - SDFN: S:"Itssss nothing, just a bit fatigued after a few days of constant fighting"
9:27 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I'm trying to imagine a giant mecha leaning in to another giant mecha and holding a hand up to cover its face
9:27 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: and it's hilarious
9:27 PM - Cedric: "Heres an important topic real quick for you."
9:27 PM - Cedric: *points to the largest reddest button on his dashboard for xylla*
9:27 PM - Cedric: "Don't push that please"
9:28 PM - SDFN: X:"I will try not to push any of your buttons infront of the others."
9:28 PM - SDFN: X:"No promises~"
9:28 PM - Bishop Hemway: (huehuehue)
9:28 PM - Bishop Hemway: (also, I think scooting my mecha across the ground whilst playing cards is my favorite)
9:28 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Cedric, would you happen to be referring to your overtly large, brightly colored, 'episode is almost over and there has been almost no explosions' button?"
9:29 PM - Cedric: *gives her a playful smile and chuckles*
9:30 PM - Cedric: "Yes, i'm glad you remebered my "SHOOT ALL EXPLOSIVES" button"
9:30 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "A very easy to accidentally push button."
9:31 PM - Cedric: "To be honest i kind of jury rigged that after the shock of being thrown into a hanger so, not one of my brightest ideas"
9:31 PM - SDFN: X:"Fine, I will not push any actual buttons, since that seems to be a bad idea."
9:31 PM - Cedric: "I've been too afraid to try to disable it while we were on the move however"
9:31 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I think you just don't want to disable it."
9:32 PM - Cedric: "most of these buttons are fine"
9:32 PM - Cedric: "juuust not that one"
9:33 PM - SDFN: I:"Speaking of buttons and such, one rule as we enter the Mechromancer's lands. No scanners, no radars, communicate on this closed network only, and if any of you bastards can fly, avoid that while you're at it"
9:33 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Sounds like you are soley refering to me."
9:34 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Think of it like this, Bishop. You're the eyes, I'm the hands, and Cedric is the... uh, explosives."
9:34 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Together we operate like a machine that should probably be scrapped but still works if you kick it around a bit."
9:34 PM - SDFN: I:"Ive seen bastards do some pretty crazy shit, I don't know what tricks you men have up your sleeves"
9:35 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I've got fists up my sleeves, if that counts."
9:35 PM - Cedric: "I've got bombs"
9:35 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop remembers the unassisted transformation; "I suppose I've got an ace in the hole as well."
9:36 PM - SDFN: Ikau stopped for a moment, shortly before the ground started to shake. "Damn, I just got report from base, might not be enough, apparently her tendrils are on the prowl, near our coordinates even."
9:37 PM - Bishop Hemway: "It is a she right? I'm still not sure how she can control this whole thing by herself."
9:39 PM - SDFN: The arm of his mecha folded open, before turning into a massive bronzen lance, Orange doing the same. "Yeah, and that means she watched us leave base and go to your village, which means she knows the exact route we're coming from, even though we're out of range of most of her scanners. Forget those rules, looks like it wont matter much now"
9:40 PM - Cedric: "So we are going to have to fight it off?"
9:40 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Ken Kare crouches into a combat position, Perseus readying its four arms in a battle stance
9:40 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Say the word and tell me where to let my fists fly. You're the experts here."
9:40 PM - SDFN: "Perhaps, I'd be ready, she could just be watching, or she could have a trap laid"
9:41 PM - SDFN: "We try not to start things, and Bishop, is it? To answer your earlier question, we know that, well, she's a she, even if no living person has seen her body."
9:41 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Sounds like it Cedric." Bishop states. "You sure I'm allowed to turn on my scanners?"
9:41 PM - SDFN: "All you're doing by keeping them off, is that we're blind
9:42 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "My Ken Kare's fists are rocket propelled. If we were to put something that broadcasts an easy to follow signal on one and launch it, would she perhaps follow it and leave us?"
9:42 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Just double checking." Bishop retorts whilst flipping various switches.
9:43 PM - SDFN: "You know not of her power, whole armies have failed to get within a five mile radius of her heart. To incite aggression is suicidal."
9:43 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I wasn't suggesting to incite aggression. Merely to divert attention."
9:44 PM - Cedric: *leans closer to Xylla and whispers* "If things get ugly hold on tight and uh..... just don't die please"
9:44 PM - SDFN: "Diversions don't work, she can quite easily split and re-arrange her forces"
9:44 PM - SDFN: X:"Well, not much else I can do, is there?"
9:45 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop ponders for a few moments and looks to Skyren, "You think that she'll mind if Sky here started digging around?"
9:46 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I do believe it would, if I were to make a guess."
9:46 PM - SDFN: I:"Digging? As in, with a shovel?
9:46 PM - SDFN: "
9:46 PM - Cedric: "I'm begining to wonder why i didn't install some sort of ejection seat or something"
9:47 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Skyren here can tunnel underground with his Kingu Kobura."
9:47 PM - SDFN: X:"THERES NO EJECTION SEAT?"
9:47 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Cedric, every mecha has an ejection seat."
9:47 PM - Bishop Hemway: "It's standard issue."
9:47 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Would an ejection seat work with twice as much weight on it?"
9:47 PM - Cedric: "..."
9:48 PM - Bishop Hemway: "It should, I don't think Xylia or Cedric are particularly heavy people."
9:48 PM - SDFN: X:"Well, thank you for that"
9:48 PM - Cedric: "I'll take that as a compliment"
9:49 PM - Bishop Hemway: "They'll probably want to find a good way to buckle up though, nothing quite like falling off the chair whilst it takes off."
9:49 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Not to mention you'll be falling into the middle of a battlefield with giant mechas stomping around."
9:50 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "...it's been an awfully long time since those tremors. Is she still surveying us?"
9:50 PM - SDFN: I:"I dont know, we just have to keep walking and hope for the best." Resuming the pace, the party continued towards the edge of the canyon
9:54 PM - Bishop Hemway: "...So Skyren, what'd you do for fun back home? You know, when you weren't hanging around a bunch of strangers with Mechas."
9:55 PM - SDFN: S:"Not much. I joined the military young as a tessssst pilot, and then they strapped me into the Black Death, and left me in the desert. There wasn't much fun, just permanent psyche damage"
9:55 PM - Cedric: *casually small talks with Xylla off the comms*
9:55 PM - Cedric: (brb)
9:56 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Well, before that I guess. Surely you got a mom and pop off somewhere."
9:57 PM - SDFN: "I dont remember much before sssssigning up, that mental harness sssssscrewed me up quite a bit:
9:57 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Bishop, didn't your mother ever teach you that it's rude to bring up traumatic memories in others?"
9:58 PM - Bishop Hemway: "I... don't really remember either to be honest. I think my brain's still a bit fuzzy..." Bishop shakes his head in frustration.
9:58 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Perhaps you need some of that Koffee to perk you up."
9:59 PM - Bishop Hemway: "You saw what that stuff did to Cedric man, it's like fossil fuel."
9:59 PM - Cedric: *patches back into the communication network*
9:59 PM - SDFN: Stepping out of the canyon into a four way junction of paths, the ground begins to shake again, violently this time. I:"Shit!, that's not just her checking in on us!"
9:59 PM - Cedric: "Okay so that happened ONCE"
9:59 PM - Cedric: "oh shit"
10:00 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I'd ready up, boys. I don't like where this is heading."
10:00 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Ikau, am I good for take off?"
10:00 PM - SDFN: Readying their lances, Ikau and Orange open up packs on their back, revealing rocket boosters. "Cleared!"
10:01 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop pulls back on the lever, and starts sliding across the sand before catching enough speed to take off.
10:01 PM - Cedric: "If you guys know of any weakspots or can open one up for me, tell me where and when to aim"
10:02 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Aye, if there are any specific joints to target, call them out! Else Ken Kare's fists shall fly with no regards."
10:02 PM - SDFN: As Bishop takes off, seven clouds of smoke arise from the ground
10:02 PM - SDFN: You can see some sort of metal glinting in the sunlight before the smoke spreads, blocking the view of whatever is attacking the party
10:02 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop opens up a coms link, "Ok, I'm restarting my scanning systems; clear for that too?"
10:03 PM - SDFN: I:"KID, IT DOESNT FUCKIN MATTER AT THIS POINT DOES IT?"
10:03 PM - SDFN: ((Get on the map on Roll20
10:04 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: uh, we're already here?
10:04 PM - Bishop Hemway: "Hmmph."
10:04 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: if it's a different map tab you need to move the players flag
10:05 PM - SDFN: Did it
10:05 PM - SDFN: ouo
10:05 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: gj

10:09 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I see no surprises
10:09 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: You never unveiled any more fog :v
10:10 PM - Bishop Hemway: (da surprise, is the amount of effort put in for all this *clap clap clap*)
10:10 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I should start efforting for meguca

10:15 PM - SDFN: Yes
10:15 PM - SDFN: Then Mechromancer, since she has higher base Ref
10:15 PM - SDFN: Then Cedric, then Bishop
10:15 PM - Bishop Hemway: (did the knights bugger off? what good for nothings :P)
10:16 PM - SDFN: Oh right
10:16 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Well right now my options are "walk into unknown smoke cloud where giant metal tentacles are waiting to rip you apart" or "wait"
10:16 PM - SDFN: Shh

10:21 PM - SDFN: S:"I sssssshall let you decide"
10:22 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Then let us combine!"
10:23 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: cue combine.exe

10:26 PM - SDFN: Grabbing Skyren, you go through the normal procedure, combining into the Kingu Kobura no Kobushi
10:26 PM - SDFN: I will when I have more than five seconds to make them :V
10:26 PM - Bishop Hemway: yeah, you can easily represent combined pairs by placing two tokens on top of each other like that, so that both are partially visible
10:27 PM - SDFN: Yeah
10:27 PM - SDFN: For now
10:27 PM - SDFN: Perseus's token marks where the Kingu is
10:27 PM - SDFN: Skyren is behind him incase of uncombining
10:28 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Skyren! You're on." Perseus sits back and folds his arms awaiting Skyren to do cool shit like that one time in TTGL where Kamina trusted Simone to do stuff
10:29 PM - SDFN: S:"You think I have the ssssssoul to lead? Well, thats a ssssudden change, but I will lead on!" Skyren starts to run into the smoke cloud
10:30 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: just seeing the pieces glide there is amusing for some reason
10:30 PM - SDFN: You find nothing, but hear whirring ahead and to both sides
10:32 PM - MeltingData: (q: how big are the tokens?)
10:32 PM - SDFN: (50x50 IIRC)
10:32 PM - MeltingData: (kk)
10:35 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (Psst. Hey. It's Orange's turn according to your list)
10:35 PM - Bishop Hemway: (or was it da monster's?)
10:35 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: (None of us are Orange. Perhaps Orange should do something."
10:35 PM - Bishop Hemway: (monster didn't make it onto the list)
10:35 PM - SDFN: Oh right
10:35 PM - SDFN: Shh
10:35 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: )
10:36 PM - SDFN: Wordless, Orange activates the rockets on his back, takes a running start, and charges into the smoke
10:36 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: saw that :v
10:37 PM - SDFN: Shh
10:37 PM - MeltingData: (hey, hows this look? http://i.imgur.com/KUxDhJS.png)
10:37 PM - SDFN: P good
10:37 PM - SDFN: Thanks bro
10:37 PM - SDFN: Alright
10:37 PM - MeltingData: (no problem~)
10:37 PM - Bishop Hemway: nice indeed
10:37 PM - SDFN: After rocket lancing, Orange again discovers nothing
10:37 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: gj orange u wankpot
10:38 PM - SDFN: Cedric is up next
10:39 PM - Cedric: "We can't see a damn thing from here! is anyones sensors picking up anything or am i firing blind?"
10:40 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "To our sides, there's a whirring! Strike there!"
10:40 PM - Cedric: *attempts to aim at the whirring*
10:41 PM - Cedric: (what do i roll to shoot the whirring darkness)]
10:42 PM - SDFN: Ref+Mecha Gunnery-2 for firing semi blind
10:42 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I imagine Cedric is much like this guy http://i.imgur.com/FvYZnOu.png
10:43 PM - SDFN: :V
10:43 PM - Bishop Hemway: Yeah, but in construction gear.
10:43 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: good shot old chap
10:43 PM - Cedric: (i wish to use a luck to make that crit somehow)
10:43 PM - Cedric: (i can do that right)
10:44 PM - SDFN: Yes
10:44 PM - SDFN: The blast blows away some smoke
10:44 PM - Cedric: (am i remembering)
10:44 PM - Cedric: (okay i do that)
10:44 PM - Bishop Hemway: (oh god it's a tentacle monster)
10:44 PM - SDFN: Roll 1d10
10:44 PM - SDFN: :V
10:44 PM - SDFN: The grenade hits the metal tendril dead on, blowing it apart quite easily
10:44 PM - Bishop Hemway: (sand kraken at 10 o clock)
10:45 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: mecha sand kracken
10:45 PM - Cedric: "I think i may be getting good at this..."
10:46 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Fine marksmanship indeed, Cedric."
10:46 PM - SDFN: X:"Impressive~"
10:46 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop says nothing whilst he flips various switches loudly over the intercom.
10:47 PM - SDFN: Ikau
10:48 PM - SDFN: Charing up the rockets, he follows the same route as Orange
10:48 PM - SDFN: He pierces through the first Tendril, and hits the second one as well
10:49 PM - MeltingData: ((i did tokens for every player))
10:49 PM - SDFN: Using one luck, he crits the first damage roll
10:49 PM - SDFN: It explodes
10:49 PM - SDFN: The second is thoroughly wrecked
10:50 PM - SDFN: Now the baddies
10:50 PM - SDFN: You hear some shuffling in the valley you can only assume the tendrils shuffle about
10:51 PM - SDFN: BISHOP
10:51 PM - SDFN: ALL YOU
10:51 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: NUKE IT FROM ORBIT
10:52 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop finally gets the scanners to power on, and attempts to take off so as to get a better view over the battlefield.
10:53 PM - SDFN: Roll Mecha Tech
10:53 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: man this game is rad
10:53 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Table Toppa Gurren Lagann is my favorite
10:53 PM - Bishop Hemway: add a luck so not crit fail
10:53 PM - Cedric: (back sorry, one second let me read)
10:54 PM - Cedric: (alrighty)
10:54 PM - Bishop Hemway: (literally worst roll I could make, probably going to blow up my scanner system again)
10:54 PM - SDFN: You scan a two hex radius
10:54 PM - SDFN: All of which is already revealed
10:54 PM - SDFN: GG No Re
10:55 PM - Bishop Hemway: do I go higher though at least?
10:55 PM - SDFN: Two is with the luck
10:55 PM - SDFN: Oh
10:55 PM - SDFN: Taking off
10:55 PM - SDFN: Yes, you do
10:55 PM - SDFN: But you cant see through the cloud
10:56 PM - SDFN: Now at altitude level 3
10:56 PM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop audibly sighs over the radio and continues to flip switches.
10:57 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: my turn now?
10:58 PM - SDFN: Ye
10:58 PM - SDFN: Unless you're giving it to Skyren again
10:58 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: nope
10:58 PM - SDFN: RIght then :V
10:58 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: what do I need to roll to do a sweep with our scorpion tail laser cannon thing?
10:59 PM - Bishop Hemway: (that thing about letting Sky pilot the mecha was a bit short lived. :P)
10:59 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I let him kick it off
10:59 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: doesn't he get a turn too in it?
10:59 PM - Bishop Hemway: I thought it was a merged turn
10:59 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: which is it?
11:00 PM - SDFN: That'd be a mecha fighting roll
11:00 PM - SDFN: i'd assume
11:01 PM - SDFN: Yeah, its a mereged turn
11:01 PM - SDFN: 3 actions
11:01 PM - SDFN: Both players/characters can nominate actions
11:01 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I think I'll actually let Skyren continue
11:01 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: He's gotta work on his soul, after all
11:02 PM - SDFN: He continues running forward
11:02 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: at least punch something comeon man
11:02 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I REGRET NOTHING
11:02 PM - SDFN: S:"Well, thisss is a bit of a problem"
11:03 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "LET OUR FISTS FLY!"
11:03 PM - SDFN: Spinning around, he tries to sweep through the lot of Tentacles with a tail slash
11:03 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "POVERBIAL FISTS WORK TOO"
11:04 PM - SDFN: The pure skill and spirit of the two fighters maxes out the bonuses to the rolls
11:04 PM - SDFN: Two luck is spent
11:04 PM - SDFN: To prevent one crit fail
11:04 PM - SDFN: And to make a crit
11:04 PM - SDFN: So
11:04 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I can dig it
11:04 PM - SDFN: 25, 22, and 35
11:05 PM - SDFN: Crit on damage for the critted attack
11:05 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: noice
11:05 PM - SDFN: DOUBLE CRIT
11:05 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: NOICE
11:05 PM - SDFN: TECHINCALLY TRIPLE
11:05 PM - SDFN: ONE MORE LUCK TO MAKE IT A QUAD CRIT
11:05 PM - SDFN: And the chain ends
11:05 PM - SDFN: 41 damage
11:05 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: But aren't these things like piss weak
11:05 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: they all blew up with like two hits before
11:06 PM - Bishop Hemway: (shh, let skyren have his fun)
11:06 PM - SDFN: The furthest most right tendril explodes violently, killing the one to its right, and one hidden in the smoke to its left
11:06 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "No spirit, you say?"
11:07 PM - SDFN: S:"Sssssomethings change quite quickly my friend"
11:10 PM - SDFN: Orange is up again
11:10 PM - SDFN: He lances into nothing
11:10 PM - SDFN: CEDRIC
11:11 PM - Cedric: "Hmmm"
11:12 PM - Cedric: *aims at the remaining one near his friends*
11:12 PM - SDFN: Ah yes, firing explosives into a fight
11:12 PM - Cedric: (yep)
11:14 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: a melee fight
11:14 PM - SDFN: You manage to hit it, roll damage
11:14 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: with me involved
11:14 PM - Cedric: (whats the damage roll again?)
11:17 PM - Cedric: (cause i didn't roll damage last time it just kind of died)
11:17 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: :v
11:18 PM - SDFN: Wait, your ammo has set damage
11:18 PM - SDFN: Check it on the sheet
11:19 PM - Cedric: (the mech sheet?)
11:20 PM - Cedric: (in fact i think this is literally the first time you've ever asked me for damage)
11:20 PM - SDFN: Yes
11:20 PM - SDFN: I normally check for you
11:20 PM - SDFN: I want you to learn to read sheets
11:20 PM - SDFN: :V
11:21 PM - Cedric: (i must go
11:22 PM - Cedric: (wait no nevermind
11:22 PM - Cedric: (the drop box isn't woring rip)
11:22 PM - SDFN: (Fcuk)
11:23 PM - Cedric: is it busted for anyone else cause i keep getting error 500
11:23 PM - Bishop Hemway: it's working for me I think
11:23 PM - Bishop Hemway: what's your mecha called?
11:24 PM - Bishop Hemway: nvm found it
11:24 PM - Cedric: i don't even remember
11:25 PM - Bishop Hemway: is it... 30 damage?
11:25 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Well his is the one that isn't your mecha or Ken Kare
11:25 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: so it's a process of elimination
11:26 PM - Bishop Hemway: I want to say it's a 30 under that "Dmg" category
11:26 PM - Bishop Hemway: so yeah
11:27 PM - SDFN: 30 is range
11:27 PM - SDFN: 10K is damage
11:27 PM - SDFN: I assume he fired grenades
11:27 PM - SDFN: In which case
11:27 PM - SDFN: 12K damage
11:27 PM - Bishop Hemway: idk man this whole thing looks screwy
11:27 PM - Bishop Hemway: but your the expert :P
11:28 PM - Cedric: oh hey it works now
11:28 PM - SDFN: It lives
11:28 PM - SDFN: The Tentacles move once again
11:28 PM - Cedric: grenade launcher standard ammo 12
11:29 PM - SDFN: Ikau is rocket lancing upwards again
11:29 PM - SDFN: One tendril dies
11:29 PM - SDFN: CEDRIC
11:30 PM - Bishop Hemway: (what)
11:31 PM - Bishop Hemway: (you mean bishop? we just spent 15 minutes on cedric's turn)
11:32 PM - SDFN: Yeah
11:33 PM - SDFN: Bishop
11:33 PM - SDFN: Sorry
11:34 PM - Bishop Hemway: I try and actually make myself useful this fight and fly towards Pers.
11:34 PM - MeltingData: (pchooooo)
11:35 PM - SDFN: You fly up behind him
11:35 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: sup bb
11:36 PM - Bishop Hemway: not much man I just got your back is all you don't mind if I join your party right?
11:36 PM - SDFN: Perseus
11:36 PM - SDFN: Time to hunt for the last tentacle
11:36 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: hmm
11:37 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: it's either in that cloud ahead of us, the cloud top left, or being a massive queerlord and on an edge or something
11:37 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: Imma charge into the cloud ahead of us and punch it a lot if it's there
11:37 PM - MeltingData: (livin on the edge)
11:39 PM - SDFN: Blank
11:39 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: then I run some more
11:39 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: into the top left
11:39 PM - SDFN: You aint found shit
11:40 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: you're a shit tickler
11:40 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: can I move more or are we stuck squatting
11:41 PM - SDFN: You've used up your MA
11:41 PM - SDFN: Turn to Orange
11:41 PM - SDFN: Hey look who he found
11:41 PM - SDFN: Cedric
11:41 PM - SDFN: Bring the bewm
11:41 PM - Cedric: am i in range?
11:42 PM - Cedric: are these tiles accurate for the 10 range thing
11:42 PM - SDFN: 10
11:42 PM - SDFN: Yup
11:43 PM - Cedric: *moves further up to get in range and then fires his grenade launcher
11:43 PM - Cedric: *
11:43 PM - Cedric: (consistant)
11:44 PM - SDFN: This is the one that was wounded by Ikau
11:44 PM - SDFN: So it be dead
11:45 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: yay we killed cannon fodder
11:46 PM - SDFN: Across the valley, a voice echos from seemingly nowhere, an adult female. "So, you've blown away a few scouts, not too impressive, but it was rather quick"
11:46 PM - Bishop Hemway: (it'd probably be faster if you give me an attack phase next time <3)
11:47 PM - SDFN: (You ran around scanning, and used your turn moving up to Perseus)
11:47 PM - SDFN: (Shitty initaive ruins combat for all of us bro)
11:47 PM - Bishop Hemway: (but I still get to attack don't I)
11:47 PM - SDFN: (We've all been there)
11:47 PM - SDFN: (If you use half or less of your MA
11:47 PM - Bishop Hemway: (you let cedric shoot in the dark why couldn't I try and do something)
11:47 PM - SDFN: Moving up to Perseus used more than half
11:48 PM - Bishop Hemway: (I demand a refund >:T)
11:48 PM - SDFN: (Shh, there'll be more combat, back to IC for now)
11:49 PM - Cedric: (i distinctly remember several fights where i did jack shit cause i lost my first turn so)
11:49 PM - Cedric: (except one of them i turned into the best giant bird mech thing to have ever been imagined
11:49 PM - Cedric: )
11:49 PM - SDFN: (Yeah, Cedric is the king of doing jackshit in combat :V)
11:50 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I personally ran around a bit this time and let Skyren get all the kills so
11:50 PM - SDFN: Anyways, again, resume the game
11:52 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I don't expect you'd be all that impressed, considering the constitution and armor of those scouts was negligable at best.."
11:52 PM - Bishop Hemway: (I almost called Ikau "Ikea" woops)
11:52 PM - SDFN: ?:"I never said it was something to be proud of, but, why are you in my territory?"
11:56 PM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "And I never said we were proud of it. In any case, we're here to ask a request, of sorts. It's a little out of the norm, to say the least, and quite possibly a long shot. But it's worth a shot."
11:58 PM - SDFN: ?:"Negociations? Not destruction, or trying to steal my territory? Not an attempt to shut me off and kill my body?"
Saturday, January 11, 2014
12:00 AM - Cedric: "Sounds like you've run into a lot of unsavory characters in the past to say the least"
12:01 AM - SDFN: ?:"Two of them are with you in fact, if you haven't noticed, you're on path straight to my complex, is there any reason for the knights to take this route?"
12:01 AM - SDFN: Ikau is silent over comms
12:02 AM - Bishop Hemway: "I don't think we were planning on any of that other stuff." Bishop looks over to Ikau's mech. "From what I understood, we were off to see a king of some sort."
12:02 AM - SDFN: ?:"The clockwork king? In the exact opposite direction? Someone has mislead you heros."
12:03 AM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop sighs over the radio. "It woudn't be the first time."
12:04 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Be that as it may, if you are who I suspect you to be, then we'd like nothing more than the return of something dear to us."
12:04 AM - SDFN: ?:"Perhaps I can arrange a trade"
12:04 AM - Bishop Hemway: "We don't really care about the ship persay, we'd love to have the people who were on board though."
12:04 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Namely, the lives of the crew aboard a fragment of a vessel you've taken."
12:06 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Bishop speaks the truth. The scrap is yours, if we can get the crew."
12:06 AM - SDFN: ?:"A ship? The interstelar one my network recovered a few days ago I assume? By the time we claimed it, it was empty. I would never take such a thing without running intensive bioscans"
12:06 AM - Bishop Hemway: "...Huh."
12:07 AM - Cedric: "Well then"
12:07 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Impossible. We left that vessel not hours before it was taken, and there were indeed people on it. There should have been signs of some sort if they'd vacated during our short absence."
12:08 AM - SDFN: ?:"Nothing, infact I was confused myself, such a large ship, empty. Except for a medbay covered in blood, and what appears to be signs of a conflict in the dormitories"
12:09 AM - Cedric: "where could they have gone then..."
12:10 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Conflict? Strange... Well, there is something still I'd like to know, though I'm afraid it's not a question you can answer for me." Perseus saunters on over to Ikau and puts an arm around his mecha's shoulder, saying, "So, friend. If you were leading us to the Clockwork Kingdom, what are we doing traveling in a purportedly opposite direction?"
12:10 AM - SDFN: I:"We are lancers, this is just, scouting..."
12:11 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Mhm." Rolling Human Perception to determine something, uh, Human Perceptiony
12:12 AM - SDFN: You can tell he had to pause for a second and think up that excuse
12:12 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: anything?
12:12 AM - SDFN: See above
12:12 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: yeah, I got that, thanks
12:13 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "That so, eh? Scouting the incredibly dangerous territory that armies flee from, after having promised us a direct route to this Kingdom of yours."
12:14 AM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop attempts to ignore the growing situation 2 units of elevation below him "So, were there any signs that point out when the conflict took place? We saw the... blood bath... of the medlab, and something's not been sitting with me right since then."
12:15 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I'm beginning to wonder, though this is just a theory mind, if perhaps it is not the Mechromancer keeping the Clockworks in a vice, but the opposite."
12:15 AM - SDFN: Without saying another word, he turns and activating his rockets and taking off with Orange, bailing.
12:15 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I am gonna regret this
12:15 AM - SDFN: ?:"A vice? What is this you talk about?"
12:15 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I want to roll to hang on
12:15 AM - SDFN: Oh Christ
12:15 AM - SDFN: Well
12:15 AM - SDFN: Look at the map
12:15 AM - SDFN: They're bailing southwards
12:16 AM - SDFN: Away from you
12:16 AM - SDFN: You cant grab em
12:16 AM - Bishop Hemway: I could possibly intercept~
12:16 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: And did you miss the part where I walked over to and leaned on him?
12:16 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: because I did that
12:16 AM - SDFN: Ah
12:17 AM - SDFN: Well
12:17 AM - SDFN: Roll Mecha fighting
12:17 AM - SDFN: Gonna need to pull a miracle
12:17 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: is 24 a miracle? :v
12:17 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: pretty sure I only spent one luck so I could make it 25
12:18 AM - SDFN: You grab on, but the sheer acceleration rips your arms off, having you tumble into the dirt as they ride off into the canyon
12:18 AM - SDFN: You have been
12:18 AM - SDFN: Disarmed
12:18 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: also don't forget I'm combined
12:18 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: that should give me a buff
12:18 AM - SDFN: These are massive mecha, bigger than yours, with massive rocket engines
12:18 AM - SDFN: Meant to propelled them through mecha with their lances
12:18 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: you never elaborated on that
12:18 AM - SDFN: THROUGH
12:18 AM - SDFN: They did it several times to the tentacles
12:19 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: I figured they were our size
12:19 AM - Bishop Hemway: yeah, I kinda did too actually :P
12:19 AM - SDFN: Same types of mecha as the one you fought before, that almost killed you
12:19 AM - SDFN: If it didnt derp out and murder itself
12:19 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: see? shit gm 2/10
12:19 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: again, figured he was my size
12:19 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: but ludicrously plated
12:19 AM - SDFN: :V
12:19 AM - Bishop Hemway: again, I did too :P
12:19 AM - SDFN: Shh
12:19 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: so either I get my arm back, I hang on, or I nerf Satoya
12:19 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: take your pick
12:20 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: 0u0
12:20 AM - Bishop Hemway: but yeah, you saw what I said, like forever ago now right?
12:20 AM - Cedric: ;o
12:20 AM - Cedric: o;
12:20 AM - SDFN: Dan, no blackmail
12:20 AM - SDFN: Fine
12:20 AM - SDFN: Arms back
12:20 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: kay
12:20 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: we're cool then
12:20 AM - SDFN: The bastards still make it out alive
12:21 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: s coo
12:21 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Well then, I believe that confirms my theory."
12:21 AM - SDFN: ?:"Theory? What is being left blank here?"
12:22 AM - Cedric: "well for one thing we were being used"
12:23 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "These 'Clockwork Knights' or whatever they call themselves claim you to be some unspeakable evil, in a sense. Highly dangerous, actively trying to kill innocent people, the works. We were under the impression that the interstellar vessel you took still had people on it."
12:23 AM - SDFN: ?:"You would be wrong, no one was onboard, and I have not directly killed someone in over twenty years, the last time being a lancer captain who tried to besiege my complex"
12:24 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Thus we began a quest to save those trapped inside. We happened across a small hamlet, and the people within claimed that we could seek assistance in retrieving our comrades from your grasp from the Clockwork Kingdom. We set out following those two, and here we are."
12:24 AM - SDFN: X:"Are you saying I lied?"
12:25 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Not necesarrily, but hey.
12:25 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Are you saying you didn't withhold the fact that your brother was a homicidal drug addict who brutally killed anyone you've copulated with?"
12:26 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "I'd imagine that's an important factor to reveal when selecting a partner."
12:26 AM - SDFN: X:"Well, my tent might have been have empty that night if I didn't withhold the truth. I mean, it worked out eventually didnt it?"
12:27 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Thanks to, dare I say, 'dumb' luck." Offhandedly, he says quietly, "Sorry Bishop."
12:28 AM - Cedric: "It was kind of a really shitty thing to do"
12:28 AM - Cedric: "but whats done has been done, we should focus more on whats going on now"
12:28 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "And even so! The unnecessairly hasty retreat of our supposed 'guides' warrants no small amount of suspicion. Do any of you disagree?"
12:28 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Yeah, somethings not been sitting right since this whole thing started."
12:29 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Mechromancer, you were saying something about a deal or trade previously? What is it you had in mind?"
12:29 AM - SDFN: X:"I never said the knights were the most trustworthy, just that they would get you to your ship. Personally, I didn't expect to be that bad, but I knew they were no saints."
12:30 AM - SDFN: ?:"You, you seem to come here not to harm me, so maybe you could help me."
12:30 AM - Bishop Hemway: "...First it was the blood bath of a medbay, then the overcharged nuclear reactor that nearly killed me despite no warning sirens, and now you are saying something happened in the dormitories..."
12:30 AM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop keeps muttering to himself indecipherably.
12:30 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "We did get shot. A lot. Then crashland. From space."
12:31 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Though the conflict in the dormitories is another matter entirely."
12:31 AM - Bishop Hemway: "You know Pers, I don't think I eleborated about the reactor room."
12:32 AM - Bishop Hemway: "All the bodies were in a nice big pile in the back corner."
12:32 AM - Bishop Hemway: "And all em were still wearing their rad suits."
12:32 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "A pile? They didn't just drop where they stood from the radiation?"
12:32 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Did you see anything else about the bodies? Wounds of any sort, piercing in the suits?"
12:33 AM - Bishop Hemway: "I didn't see anything when I checked."
12:33 AM - Bishop Hemway: "And trust me... I checked."
12:34 AM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop half chuckles whilst coughing.
12:34 AM - SDFN: ?:"You may investigate yourself, if you can prove I can trust you in my territory."
12:34 AM - Bishop Hemway: "You know Pers... I don't remember the last time I ate."
12:35 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "Didn't you eat at the village before we set out?"
12:35 AM - Bishop Hemway: "I've been zipped up in my suit this whole time."
12:35 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "And how can we prove our trustworthiness?"
12:35 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Unzipping would have killed everyone."
12:35 AM - SDFN: ?:"Again, by doing a favor"
12:36 AM - Cedric: "Xylla had provided us with food while we were there, you shouldve gotten some..."
12:36 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "And that favor would involve...?"
12:36 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Woulda caused a nuclear holocaust..."
12:36 AM - Bishop Hemway: Bishop decides to land.
12:37 AM - SDFN: ?:"Would you care to hear the details of the favor? Or do you not wish to see the ship again?"
12:37 AM - Bishop Hemway: "I believe we agree to hear your favor."
12:37 AM - MeltingData left chat.
12:38 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Though I'm not sure what good the ship is to us, unless the captain left a note."
12:38 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: uh yeah I said I wanted to hear about the favor like 3 different ways
12:39 AM - SDFN: ?:"The systems keeping my body stable, alive, and unaging are starting to fail, the knights know this, and, I fear they plan to use it against me. I have two options, let my body sit and die, and have the system fail, or, be taken out of the network, and have it run on its own until it can be fixed."
12:39 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "How do you propose we get you out of the network?
12:40 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Yeah, what you are describing does sound complicated. I mean, I am a doctor, but still..."
12:40 AM - Bishop Hemway: "Cedric is the best with machines, despite his destructive tendencies."
12:40 AM - SDFN: ?:"There is a, a contingency plan if you wish to call it that was developed when I was first installed."
12:41 AM - SDFN: ?:"Meant to remove my body from the mainframe in the case of danger. It's an automated process, but it must be inniated by someone outside of the computer, or, they feared it could be hacked into and used to kill me remotely if done improperly."
12:42 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: "And you need us to initiate the process."
12:42 AM - Cedric: "Sounds easy enough"
12:42 AM - SDFN: ((And thats where we end for the night, because I have something to do at 5 AM))
12:43 AM - SDFN: ((Dan, if you would, archive this)
12:43 AM - SDFN: ((Maybe we'll play tomorrow before/after MB))
12:43 AM - The Glorious Return of Perseus: kay
