[S] Suktra: Enter

DM_TZIVOS: EC:Sracri?

DM_TZIVOS: EC:Alright.

DM_TZIVOS: EC:Well,here.goes.

DM_TZIVOS: TS: Thanks ~<

DM_TZIVOS: TS: I'd Rather not die just yet ~<

==BEGIN==

Amdran: Amdran inserts the server disk into his computer.

DM_TZIVOS: A few seconds after inserting the disk, you're greeted with a prompt telling you to ENTER CLIENT USERNAME

Amdran: turbulentSeas
·
Suktra inserts the client disk and runs it

DM_TZIVOS: a moment after Suktra inserts the client disk, she's greeted with a similar prompt, telling her to INSERT SERVER USERNAME

Suktra: enragedCommander

DM_TZIVOS: on both ends, a message appears - USERNAME ACCEPTED

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra's computer screen blacks out as Amdran's lights up with the image of Suktra, at her computer, on her ship

Amdran: What.the.fuck.

Amdran: I.can.see.you.

Suktra: TS: Yep ~<

Suktra: TS: That's a thing that happens ~<

DM_TZIVOS: Surrounding the edges of Amdran's screen is a series of menu tabs and camera controls, with a menu called the paraphernalia currently open

DM_TZIVOS: inside the paraphernalia, there are various devices ranging from big to small

Amdran: You're.gonna.have.to.walk.me.through.what.I.have.to.do.

DM_TZIVOS: three devices are currently flashing plus what looks like a captchalogue card with holes

Amdran: There.is.so.much.shit.on.the.screen.right.now.

Suktra: TS: Put the flashing things down fiRst ~<
·
Amdran experiments by dragging the card and dropping it next to Suktra.

DM_TZIVOS: the card floats gently down next to Suktra
·
Suktra nabs it

Amdran: This.is.straight.up.fucking.sorcery.

Suktra: TS: That is tRue ~<
·
Amdran tries to put down one of the devices in Suktra's room.

DM_TZIVOS: The Totem Lathe lands with a moderate *thud* in front of Suktra's cot in the crew's quarters

DM_TZIVOS: The boat shakes slightly from the weight

Amdran: There's.one.of.those.things.

Amdran: Do?you?know?what?to?do?with?it?

Suktra: TS: Yep ~<
·
Suktra sticks the card in the Lathe

Suktra: TS: Now I need the otheR two ~<

DM_TZIVOS: The card goes into its slot without problem
·
Amdran zooms out to the deck of the ship, and places the other two devices.

DM_TZIVOS: The Alchemiter and Cruxtruder land on the deck of the ship with two heavy *THUDS*, shaking the boat considerably before it recovers

Amdran: They're.up.on.the.deck.

Amdran: I.hope.that.isn't.a.problem.

Suktra: TS: Bit annoying, but whateveR ~<
·
Suktra runs up to the deck, looking for the Cruxtruder

DM_TZIVOS: You find the cruxtruder on the deck, on the starboard side opposite the Alchemiter
·
Suktra turns the wheel to pop the thing

DM_TZIVOS: Turning the wheel is fruitless and nothing happens

Suktra: She also whistles for Falconparent, wondering where he got off to
·
Suktra glares at the wheel

DM_TZIVOS: Falconparent flies down from the lookout's nest and perches on your shoulder
·
Suktra does a little pose because this looks cool as hell

DM_TZIVOS: you look very cool, indeed. While you pose, you notice the water over the starboard bow beginning to stir slightly

DM_TZIVOS: Probably nothing

Suktra: That's not normal, though
·
Suktra pulls on the wheel again

DM_TZIVOS: Pulling on the wheel produces no results

DM_TZIVOS: The lid to the cruxtruder is leaking a faint green light now

Suktra: TS: Check the staRboaRd side foR me ~<

Amdran: Oh,alright.
·
Suktra bonks it with her hook
·
Amdran zooms over there to check out the commotion.

DM_TZIVOS: Roll Athletics, Suktra

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 8

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran doesn't find anything amiss about the starboard bow

Amdran: Everything's.fine.over.here.

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you bonk the lid sorta good, and it looks like it's maybe coming loose, but not entirely
·
Suktra bonks it again

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 6

DM_TZIVOS: You miss it entirely this time

Suktra: No lid shall be left unbonked!

Suktra: She tries one more time

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 5

Amdran: What?the?hell?are?you?dong?

DM_TZIVOS: God damn, you fuck it up so badly you end up bonking yourself

Amdran: Breaking?that?thing?

DM_TZIVOS: take 1 damage

Suktra: TS: I need it opened ~<

Suktra: TS: Little help? ~<

Amdran: Okay.
·
Amdran grabs one of the cannons and drops it on the cruxtruder

DM_TZIVOS: I'm gonna say no right away because you're going to capsize the ship doing something reckless like that
·
Alric6998 joined

Suktra: TS: Don't kill me ~<

DM_TZIVOS: instead, you grab a cannonball

DM_TZIVOS: Roll acrobatics to drop it on the lid

Amdran rolls 1d20+0 = 7

DM_TZIVOS: You drop the cannonball very close to the lid and almost hit, but no cigar
·
Suktra bonks it again

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 16

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra bonks it like a champ this time, and the lid comes flying off

DM_TZIVOS: followed by a plethora of green cruxite dowels and a green kernelsprite

DM_TZIVOS: a timer begins flashing on the cruxtruder

DM_TZIVOS: 4:14

DM_TZIVOS: 4:13

DM_TZIVOS: 4:12

DM_TZIVOS: 4:11

DM_TZIVOS: 4:10

Amdran: Uh.
·
Suktra grabs a dowel

DM_TZIVOS: 4:09

DM_TZIVOS: 4:08

Amdran: What?is?that?counting?down?to?

Suktra: TS: Get something in the flashing thing ~<

DM_TZIVOS: 4:07

DM_TZIVOS: 4:06

Amdran: Anything?

Suktra: TS: MuRdeR, pRobably ~<

DM_TZIVOS: 4:05

DM_TZIVOS: 4:04

DM_TZIVOS: 4:03
·
Suktra takes her dowel and runs down to the Lathe with it

DM_TZIVOS: 4:02

Suktra: She sticks it in and runs the Lathe
·
Amdran tries to insert a bag of sand into the flashing ball.

DM_TZIVOS: Roll acrobatics to chuck the sandbag into the sprite

Suktra: TS: And don't do something stupid ~<

Amdran rolls 1d20+0 = 16

Amdran: What?constitutes?stupid?

DM_TZIVOS: Upon activation, the totem lathe's clamps grip the dowel and begin rapidly spinning as the needle descends and carves the dowel.

Suktra: TS: I hope you'll know it when you think of it ~<

DM_TZIVOS: In a moment, the dowel is finished being carved, and you now have a wavy dowel, Suktra

DM_TZIVOS: On deck, the sandbag flies into the sprite and collides with a small flash of light
·
Suktra snatches it up and brings it to the Alchemiter, looking for Falconparent and the Kernel

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you can see that the kernelsprite is now displaying a sandbag as you reach the alchemiter. Falconparent makes a small *caw* from their perch on your shoulder

Suktra: "Hey theRe, FP"

DM_TZIVOS: 3:30

DM_TZIVOS: 3:29

DM_TZIVOS: 3:28

DM_TZIVOS: 3:27

Suktra: She pets him lovingly, then places the dowel where it goes

DM_TZIVOS: 3:26

DM_TZIVOS: Upon placing the dowel on its pedastal, it practically explodes in a flash of light before disappearing. You can hear and feel another moderate *thud* in the cargo hold

DM_TZIVOS: 3:25

DM_TZIVOS: 3:24

DM_TZIVOS: 3:23

DM_TZIVOS: 3:22

DM_TZIVOS: 3:21

Suktra: The cargo hold, huh?

DM_TZIVOS: 3:20
·
Suktra runs down there quickly

Amdran: Whoa!

Amdran: Was?that?supposed?to?happen?

Suktra: TS: Yes ~<
·
Amdran follows Suktra with the camera

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you enter the cargo hold to find a single locker made of sickly green cruxite is now located there. The locker looks as if it were in a state of disrepair, with what looks like seaweed, rust, and decay covering it almost entirely except for the front side

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, you see the same thing
·
Suktra attempts to open the front of the locker

DM_TZIVOS: The front of the locker is closed with a key-lock. You notice there's another lock to another, smaller, door on the locker

DM_TZIVOS: 3:19

DM_TZIVOS: 3:18

DM_TZIVOS: 3:17

DM_TZIVOS: 3:16

DM_TZIVOS: 3:15

DM_TZIVOS: 3:14
·
Suktra tries to unlock the smaller lock

DM_TZIVOS: Roll engineering to pick the lock

Suktra rolls 1d20 = 19

DM_TZIVOS: You craftily use your tools from your kit to pick the lock, opening the bigger of the two doors on the locker

DM_TZIVOS: the space inside seems to be the perfect size to accomodate you

DM_TZIVOS: But only you

Suktra: Oh heck no, she goes and tries to pick the lock on the main area

DM_TZIVOS: Nothing you do to the other lock seems to do anything to it

DM_TZIVOS: 3:13

DM_TZIVOS: 3:12

DM_TZIVOS: 3:11

DM_TZIVOS: 3:10

Amdran: What?the?hell?are?you?supposed?to?do?

DM_TZIVOS: 3:09

DM_TZIVOS: 3:08

Amdran: Get?in?it?

DM_TZIVOS: 3:07

DM_TZIVOS: 3:06

DM_TZIVOS: 3:05
·
Suktra attacks the lock with her hook

DM_TZIVOS: Attacking the lock does nothing

DM_TZIVOS: 3:04

DM_TZIVOS: 3:03

DM_TZIVOS: 3:02

DM_TZIVOS: 3:01

DM_TZIVOS: 3:00

DM_TZIVOS: 2:59
·
Suktra kicks at it

DM_TZIVOS: kicking at it does nothing, either. The key-lock remains unharmed

Suktra: She looks Falconparent in the eye

DM_TZIVOS: 2:58

DM_TZIVOS: 2:57

DM_TZIVOS: 2:56

Suktra: "TRust me"

DM_TZIVOS: 2:55
·
Suktra attempts to captchalogue Falconparent

DM_TZIVOS: Your sylladex refuses to accept a living being such as your lusus

Amdran: Suktra,we're.on.a.time.limit.here.

Amdran: What?the?hell?are/you?doing?

DM_TZIVOS: 2:54

DM_TZIVOS: 2:53

DM_TZIVOS: 2:52
·
Suktra frowns
·
Suktra stritches Falconparent, then tries to put him into the locker

DM_TZIVOS: Falconparent fits into the open compartment, but by putting him in there, you have no space

DM_TZIVOS: 2:51

DM_TZIVOS: 2:50

DM_TZIVOS: 2:49

DM_TZIVOS: 2:48

DM_TZIVOS: 2:47
·
Suktra checks the lock again

Suktra: TS: Any ideas? ~<

DM_TZIVOS: It's a basic key-lock

DM_TZIVOS: it only needs a single key

Amdran: I.don't.know.

Suktra: TS: The key ~<

Suktra: TS: Look foR the key
·
Suktra begins searching as quickly as she can around the ship
·
Amdran zooms out to the deck and looks for it there.

DM_TZIVOS: Specify starting locations

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, roll investigation/perception

Suktra: The strange thing from before on the starboard side

Amdran: The Alchemiter,

Amdran rolls 1d20+1 = 16

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, you scan the alchemiter and the area surrounding it pretty well, including the area near the cruxtruder, but you don't find the key

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you can see that there's still nothing amiss with the starboard bow, but the water is more disturbed now
·
Suktra checks the other side, to see if it's just the one side
·
Amdran checks over in Suktra's room.

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you see the same thing on the other side

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, roll perception/investigation

DM_TZIVOS: 2:34

Amdran rolls 1d20+1 = 9

DM_TZIVOS: 2:33
·
Suktra searches the rest of the deck for the key

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, you don't find much of anything in the cluttered crew's quarters
·
Amdran checks in the crows nest.

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, roll perception/investigation

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, same thing

Suktra rolls 1d20 = 20

Amdran rolls 1d20+1 = 17

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you scan the entire deck without leaving a singe metaphorical stone unturned, not finding anything, but you do notice something seems amiss with the crow's nest while you search.

DM_TZIVOS: Amdran, you find a single sickly green key with a string attached to it in the crow's nest
·
Suktra huffs and begins to climb

Amdran: Found!it!

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, roll athletics

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 7

DM_TZIVOS: You climb a small distance before sliding back down

Suktra: Again

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 7

DM_TZIVOS: same result

Suktra: Again!

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 22
·
Amdran tries to pick up the key and bring it down.

DM_TZIVOS: ERROR: CANNOT INTERACT

DM_TZIVOS: Suktra, you manage to climb to the crow's nest to find a sickly green key with a string attached to it in the crow's nest

DM_TZIVOS: 1:20

DM_TZIVOS: 1:19

DM_TZIVOS: 1:18

DM_TZIVOS: 1:17
·
Suktra grabs it and climbs back down

DM_TZIVOS: roll athletics again

DM_TZIVOS: 1:16

Suktra rolls 1d20+4 = 13

DM_TZIVOS: You manage to climb down without too many issues

DM_TZIVOS: 0:59

DM_TZIVOS: 0:58
·
Suktra sprints back down to the locker

DM_TZIVOS: Once you reach the locker, you notice that the ship is beginning to shake more than before

DM_TZIVOS: Accompanied by the sounds of multiple somethings hitting the sea's surface, HARD

DM_TZIVOS: 0:57

DM_TZIVOS: 0:56

Suktra: Fucking great

DM_TZIVOS: 0:55

DM_TZIVOS: 0:54
·
Suktra unlocks the locker

DM_TZIVOS: The smaller door flies open as the ship begins shaking more violently

DM_TZIVOS: 0:53

DM_TZIVOS: 0:52

DM_TZIVOS: 0:51

DM_TZIVOS: 0:50

DM_TZIVOS: 0:49

DM_TZIVOS: 0:48
·
Suktra re-clicks the smaller lock into place

DM_TZIVOS: 0:47

Suktra: Then she opens the larger door

DM_TZIVOS: The smaller door is now closed and unlocked and the larger door is open, seemingly waiting to embrace you inside

DM_TZIVOS: Falconparent lets out a distressed *caw*

DM_TZIVOS: 0:46

DM_TZIVOS: 0:45

DM_TZIVOS: 0:44

DM_TZIVOS: 0:43

DM_TZIVOS: 0:42

DM_TZIVOS: 0:41

DM_TZIVOS: 0:40

DM_TZIVOS: 0:39

DM_TZIVOS: 0:38
·
Suktra checks to see if the space inside the larger one would be enough for her and Falconparent

DM_TZIVOS: 0:37

DM_TZIVOS: As previously stated, the space inside the larger compartment is large enough for only you. The smaller locker seems promising, though

DM_TZIVOS: 0:36

DM_TZIVOS: 0:35

DM_TZIVOS: 0:34

DM_TZIVOS: 0:33

DM_TZIVOS: 0:32

DM_TZIVOS: 0:31

DM_TZIVOS: 0:30
·
Suktra opens the door again and offers her arm to her lusus

DM_TZIVOS: 0:29

DM_TZIVOS: Falconparent hops onto your arm from his perch on your shoulder
·
Suktra opens the smaller compartment and looks inside

DM_TZIVOS: 0:28

DM_TZIVOS: 0:27

DM_TZIVOS: 0:26

DM_TZIVOS: 0:25

DM_TZIVOS: 0:24

DM_TZIVOS: 0:23

DM_TZIVOS: 0:22

DM_TZIVOS: 0:21

DM_TZIVOS: 0:20

DM_TZIVOS: 0:19

DM_TZIVOS: 0:18

DM_TZIVOS: 0:17

DM_TZIVOS: 0:16

DM_TZIVOS: the smaller compartment looks big enough to fit falconparent

DM_TZIVOS: 0:15

Suktra: She places Falconparent inside

DM_TZIVOS: 0:14

DM_TZIVOS: Falconparent steps inside and immediately the door slams shut, akin to a sea monster swallowing its prey whole

Suktra: Quickly, she closes that door and dodges inside the one large enough for her, wondering what the sentient sandbag will get up to once she dies

DM_TZIVOS: As you get inside the locker, the ship begins shaking more violently than before, as if it were about to capsize. Whatever is left in the cargo hold begins tipping over and sliding across the floor as the ship tilts to one side

DM_TZIVOS: The locker tilts and falls on its side, the door slamming shut and darkness engulfing you as it does
·
Suktra holds on and hopes that Falconparent will be okay

DM_TZIVOS: The ship continues violently heaving and shaking for a few more seconds before everything explodes in a blinding flash of white light

DM_TZIVOS: 0:00

DM_TZIVOS: Welcome

DM_TZIVOS: To the Medium

DM_TZIVOS: ==END==
