[YASS] Arkham, Susan, Maytri, Xivalo at the moon

[4:10 PM] Silverleaf: ==START==
[4:10 PM] Silverleaf: As your group finishes the group hug, another quake rolls through the moon, one which you can feel even here, and on planet's surface
[4:32 PM] Xivalo: "hi."
[4:34 PM] Maytri: Maytri looks at the moon. "Oh... that's very not good." She pulls away from the rifle and tries to look at the moon from the scope.
[4:34 PM] Silverleaf: Roll Perception
[4:35 PM] Maytri: 1d20 (6)
[4:36 PM] Silverleaf: It just looks like the moon to you
[4:36 PM] Silverleaf: You can't see what's going on
[4:37 PM] Silverleaf: But it's definitely bad
[4:37 PM] Arkham: "hhih maytrih please doh not shhoot thheh moon"
[4:38 PM] Maytri: Maytri lowers her rifle. "I don't think it would cause much difference. This is not good."
[4:39 PM] Arkham: "whhyh?"
[4:39 PM] Xivalo: "it would cause the difference'f one bullet."
[4:40 PM] Maytri: Maytri looks back at the moon. “The Moon is breaking. Ripping apart. Whatever’s happening, nothing good is behind it.”
[4:41 PM] Xivalo: "oh sounds bad."
[4:41 PM] Maytri: “Yes. Very Very bad.”
[4:41 PM] Arkham: "hokay but whhyh his hit bad?"
[4:43 PM] Maytri: “People are on there. They’ll be... swallowed. Hurt. The moon won’t be there.”
[4:43 PM] Arkham: Arkham gasps.
[4:43 PM] Xivalo: "oh that's bad."
[4:43 PM] Xivalo: "can w'put't back together?"
[4:45 PM] Maytri: “This is bigger than us. Putting it back together would... would help. A lot.”
[4:45 PM] Xivalo: "okay then let's d'that."
[4:46 PM] Maytri: “Any bright ideas as to how that could be accomplished?”
[4:46 PM] Xivalo: "uh..."
[4:46 PM] Xivalo: "d'w'have a lot'f tape?"
[4:46 PM] Arkham: "hohh!  weh could goh hover hand hask nicelyh phor thheh moon toh not swallow hor hhurt hanyone"
[4:47 PM] Maytri: Maytri looks to Susan for some input. @Susan
[4:52 PM] Susan: "That doesn't make a lot of sense, really. But neither does anything else in this game, so let's try it!"
[4:53 PM] Maytri: “You want to get closer to the collapsing moon?”
[4:53 PM] Arkham: "yes thheh stick!"
[4:56 PM] Susan: "Well if the moon is just going to fall here, why not?"
[4:57 PM] Silverleaf: As if on queue, the moon shakes violently again
[4:57 PM] Xivalo: "h'again."
[4:57 PM] Arkham: "noh please"
[4:59 PM] Maytri: Maytri stresses. She glances to the moon. “Well... Let the sky fall I suppose.”
[5:00 PM] Arkham: "noh but thhen people will beh hhurt like youh said whhichh his bad"
[5:00 PM] Xivalo: "maybe w'could g't'the moon and stop't?"
[5:01 PM] Maytri: “Yes. Let’s go. See why it’s doing this.”
[5:02 PM] Arkham: "yes!  stick"
[5:02 PM] Xivalo: "okay but how d'w'get t'the moon?"
[5:02 PM] Maytri: “We fly.”
[5:02 PM] Xivalo: "what n'that's cheating."
[5:03 PM] Maytri: “If this game has taught me one lesson, it’s that we might need to cheat to win. There’s so much against us and we’re all we’ve got.”
[5:04 PM] Xivalo: "but..."
[5:04 PM] Xivalo: "that's cheating..."
[5:04 PM] Maytri: Maytri nods and takes to floating. “Yes. It is.”
[5:05 PM] Arkham: "phlying his chheating?"
[5:05 PM] Xivalo: "yeah!"
[5:06 PM] Xivalo: "it was a riddle t'get down from the tower!"
[5:06 PM] Maytri: “And now it’s a riddle to get to the moon. And we’ve got to cheat.”
[5:06 PM] Xivalo: "what n'w'don't have t'cheat!"
[5:06 PM] Xivalo: "w'can figure't out!"
[5:06 PM] Arkham: "weh hused hah blanket"
[5:07 PM] Xivalo: "oohhhhhhh"
[5:07 PM] Xivalo: "i didn't have a blanket."
[5:08 PM] Arkham: She gasps again.  "hohh noh!"
[5:09 PM] Maytri: “Arkham! Xivalo! We’re on a time crunch.”
[5:09 PM] Xivalo: "yeah, but..."
[5:09 PM] Xivalo: "cheating's bad..."
[5:09 PM] Arkham: "weh need hah blanket toh goh toh thheh moon"
[5:10 PM] Xivalo: "oh yeah, that would b'not cheating."
[5:10 PM] Xivalo: "d'w'have a blanket?"
[5:10 PM] Susan: "But how would we use a blanket anyway?"
[5:11 PM] Xivalo: "uh..."
[5:11 PM] Susan: "Unless it's like a magic blanket, like the carpet from Aladdin."
[5:12 PM] Xivalo: "yeah, that!"
[5:12 PM] Xivalo: "d'w'have that?"(edited)
[5:13 PM] Arkham: Arkham checks her sylladex.  "weh hhave newspaper queen hand phlowers but not hah blanket"
[5:13 PM] Maytri: Maytri takes out a shirt from her sylladex. It’s torn in a hole in the middle of her symbol. Jade blood outlines it. She bends her horn down and drags the sharp top of her horn across the seam, tearing it into one piece of fabric.

“Here. A blanket.”
[5:13 PM] Xivalo: "oh yay!"
[5:13 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo sits on it.(edited)
[5:14 PM] Maytri: Maytri wraps Xivalo up and grabs him tight and starts flying, trying to take him up. “Here we go.”
[5:15 PM] Arkham: "yes!"  Arkham flies up with them.
[5:15 PM] Xivalo: "whee!"
[5:17 PM] Maytri: Maytri motions with her head for Susan to follow and she gets closer to the moon.
[5:22 PM] Maytri: @Silverleaf
[5:22 PM] Silverleaf: As you approach the moon, you begin to see a symptom of the problem
[5:22 PM] Susan: I shake my head at these shenanigans and follow them with a smile on my face.
[5:23 PM] Silverleaf: Grey veins stretch along the planet, creating cracks and destabilizing it
[5:23 PM] Maytri: Maytri gasps. "No..."
[5:23 PM] Maytri: "This is the same thing that's happening on my land. Grey is actively sabotaging us. "
[5:24 PM] Arkham: "whhat?"
[5:24 PM] Xivalo: "what's that?"
[5:25 PM] Maytri: "There's... a bad guy. A very bad guy. And he doesn't want us to win the game. He says he wants everyone to be well. And then he does something like this."
[5:25 PM] Xivalo: "oh no."
[5:25 PM] Arkham: "but heveryone his not well hiph thhis hhappens"
[5:26 PM] Maytri: "Exactly. This Grey, he's the one that killed me."
[5:27 PM] Xivalo: "wait what?"
[5:27 PM] Arkham: Arkham gasps.
[5:27 PM] Arkham: "whhat hhappened?"
[5:27 PM] Maytri: "You both know about Jadebloods, right?"
[5:27 PM] Maytri: "What sometimes happens when we die?"
[5:28 PM] Arkham: She answers with a blank stare.
[5:28 PM] Xivalo: "ooohhhh."
[5:28 PM] Xivalo: "you're a rainbow person now!"
[5:28 PM] Xivalo: "that's a good answer t'the riddle!"
[5:30 PM] Maytri: Maytri nods. "The riddle of death. My death was a riddle I solved. A riddle proposed by our friend Grey. He'd be nothing but a coward if he didn't show up by now." The rainbow person looks around.
[5:31 PM] Arkham: "riddle..."  Arkham ponders the idea of death having a solution.
[5:31 PM] Silverleaf: Wasn't there someone who talked about that before?
[5:32 PM] Arkham: There was!  But her favourite said no.
[5:32 PM] Silverleaf: Oh yeah
[5:33 PM] Arkham: Maybe if she figures out what the solution is then it will say yes and she can try it.(edited)
[5:33 PM] Arkham: But until then, more flying to the moon.
[5:34 PM] Silverleaf: You all arrive near the surface of the moon, and it's shaking more than you expected
[5:36 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo climbs out of the blanket and starts looking around.
[5:37 PM] Maytri: "Don't land on it. It isn't safe." Maytri moms Xivalo
[5:38 PM] Xivalo: "oh, okay."(edited)
[5:38 PM] Arkham: Arkham tries to hug the moon.
[5:38 PM] Silverleaf: The moon is very hard to hug
[5:38 PM] Arkham: Arkham frowns.
[5:39 PM] Maytri: "Don't touch the Grey. It hurts. It's hurting the moon."
[5:39 PM] Xivalo: "aw."
[5:39 PM] Arkham: "hohh noh!"
[5:39 PM] Xivalo: "can w'get rid'f't?"
[5:39 PM] Maytri: "I... I hope so."
[5:43 PM] Arkham: "hhih grey can  youh please not hhurt thheh moon hit his not veyrh nice toh hhurt hanyone"
[5:43 PM] Silverleaf: The grey does not respond
[5:43 PM] Xivalo: "hmm..."
[5:43 PM] Xivalo: "maybe't's a riddle?"
[5:45 PM] Silverleaf: It doesn't seem to be a riddle
[5:45 PM] Xivalo: "oh, okay."
[5:46 PM] Maytri: "Okay?"
[5:46 PM] Xivalo: "i thought't might b'a riddle."
[5:47 PM] Xivalo: "but't doesn't seem like't."
[5:47 PM] Maytri: "Okay. Xivalo, you're going to have to cheat for just a second, okay?"
[5:47 PM] Xivalo: "what why?"
[5:47 PM] Xivalo: "cheating's bad."
[5:48 PM] Maytri: Maytri lets go of her swaddled Xivalo and exchanges the arm space for her rifle on her back
[5:49 PM] Xivalo: Can Xivalo stand on the blanket on the grey?
[5:49 PM] Silverleaf: You can try
[5:50 PM] Xivalo: Is there anywhere that isn't grey to stand on?
[5:50 PM] Silverleaf: Plenty!
[5:50 PM] Silverleaf: It's all gold, too, just like the planet
[5:50 PM] Xivalo: Okay then Xivalo stands there.
[5:51 PM] Silverleaf: You stand there
[5:51 PM] Arkham: "grey stop please"
[5:52 PM] Arkham: Arkham attempts to Beastcontrol the grey.
[5:52 PM] Maytri: Maytri aims her rifle at a spot of Grey a bit away. "I'm going to shoot it. Everyone be careful."
[5:52 PM] Silverleaf: The grey is resistant to beastcontrol
[5:52 PM] Silverleaf: And it does not react to a rifle being pointed at it
[5:54 PM] Maytri: Maytri fires.
[5:54 PM] Silverleaf: Everyone roll Reflex
[5:55 PM] Arkham: 17+8=25
[5:55 PM] Maytri: 1d20 (7) + 11 = 18
[5:56 PM] Xivalo: 1d20(13)+1=14.
[5:57 PM] Silverleaf: Xivalo, it lashes out, hitting you upside the face for two damage
[5:57 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo instinctively raises his hand to his face.
[5:58 PM] Maytri: "Not... smart. Noted."
[5:59 PM] Arkham: "thhat was not veryh nice grey"
[5:59 PM] Xivalo: "it hurt."
[6:00 PM] Maytri: "He's not a very nice person."
[6:02 PM] Susan: (Okay I rolled 22 for Reflex)
[6:02 PM] Silverleaf: The grey bit calms down a bit after hitting Xivalo
[6:02 PM] Maytri: "What do we do about this."
[6:03 PM] Arkham: "not shhoot hit more"
[6:03 PM] Arkham: "please"
[6:05 PM] Susan: "I could set it on fire if you want me too."
[6:05 PM] Susan: "Maybe that's the riddle, it's like a puzzle boss or something!"
[6:06 PM] Maytri: "I... I don't know. Don't agitate it."
[6:06 PM] Arkham: "whhere did hit come phrom?"
[6:07 PM] Xivalo: "how d'w'stop't from falling?"
[6:07 PM] Maytri: "Lets follow it. It has to come from somewhere."
[6:08 PM] Arkham: "yes hit will beh less hunhhappyh thhere weh thhink"
[6:08 PM] Xivalo: "okay that sounds like a good idea."
[6:10 PM] Arkham: Arkham starts flying around in search of the greatest concentration of grey and/or something that looks like it's obviously more important than the rest of the grey.
[6:11 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo tries to walk after her.(edited)
[6:12 PM] Maytri: Maytri follows too
[6:13 PM] Silverleaf: Roll Perception!
[6:13 PM] Susan: As does Susan
[6:13 PM] Silverleaf: Arkham
[6:13 PM] Silverleaf: Since she's leading
[6:13 PM] Arkham: 4-1=3
[6:14 PM] Silverleaf: You have no idea where you're going, but you sure are going!
[6:14 PM] Silverleaf: Your coplayers can't see any larger concentration in grey
[6:15 PM] Arkham: She has fun flying around for a bit but then stops.
[6:15 PM] Arkham: "hum his hit maybeh hokay hiph weh shhoot youh hagain mister hor missus greyphairieh?"
[6:16 PM] Xivalo: "what n'please don't."
[6:16 PM] Xivalo: "it hurts."
[6:16 PM] Maytri: "It does. Would you like me to kiss it better, Xivalo?"
[6:17 PM] Xivalo: "yes please."
[6:18 PM] Arkham: "hokay but... whhat hiph weh huse thheh blanket hagain hand xivaloh his not thhere thhis time?"
[6:19 PM] Maytri: Maytri goes down to Xivalo and inspects the wound. She gets in real close and smells the burn. The fresh olive blood pumping.

And then she kisses two fingers and gently lays them on his burn.

"All better?"
[6:19 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo nods. "thank you."
[6:21 PM] Arkham: Arkham scrunches up her face, deep in thought.
[6:21 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo also looks around for a big group of the grey.
[6:22 PM] Arkham: "weh thhink thhis his like hah kneeh like thheh hothher place was"
[6:23 PM] Maytri: "The other place?"
[6:23 PM] Arkham: She points back in the direction they came wandering from.
[6:23 PM] Arkham: "hover thhere"
[6:24 PM] Maytri: "Well. It's no different. It's all the same."
[6:24 PM] Arkham: "yes!  kneeh"
[6:25 PM] Silverleaf: XIVALO ROLL PERCEPTIOn
[6:25 PM] Xivalo: Oh, okay.
[6:26 PM] Xivalo: 1d20(5)+3=8.
[6:33 PM] Silverleaf: You find a slightly bigger section of grey
[6:33 PM] Silverleaf: But not by much
[6:33 PM] Xivalo: "oh's't maybe this way?"
[6:33 PM] Maytri: "It's a start."
[6:34 PM] Maytri: Maytri, following along that path, tries to track for more
[6:34 PM] Silverleaf: Roll Perception
[6:34 PM] Maytri: 1d20 (18)
[6:35 PM] Silverleaf: Okay, you manage to track larger and larger sections of grey, which leads to what seems to be an entrance down into the center of the moon
[6:35 PM] Maytri: "There." Maytri points.
[6:36 PM] Arkham: Arkham gasps.  "mouthh!"
[6:36 PM] Maytri: Maytri nods. "Mouth."
[6:36 PM] Xivalo: "but..."
[6:37 PM] Xivalo: "it doesn't look like a mouth."
[6:37 PM] Maytri: "Caves have mouths. They don't have to look like mouths. But this. This is a mouth."
[6:37 PM] Arkham: "mouthh!  kneeh," she points back to the grey they left, then again down the cave, "mouthh!"
[6:37 PM] Arkham: "maybeh!"
[6:38 PM] Xivalo: "ooohhhh."
[6:38 PM] Xivalo: "wow, that's a good riddle."
[6:40 PM] Maytri: "Should we go in?"
[6:40 PM] Arkham: "hhih!"  Arkham waves at the cave opening.
[6:41 PM] Xivalo: Xivalo approaches the opening.(edited)
[6:41 PM] Silverleaf: You can see pulsing grey goo going all the way down, with a small light at the core
[6:42 PM] Arkham: "yes!  yes mouthh his down thhere"
[6:42 PM] Maytri: "It's the only thing we have. We have to go."
[6:44 PM] Arkham: [S] Descend!
[6:45 PM] Silverleaf: The four of you descend into the darkness below....
[6:45 PM] Silverleaf: ==PAUSE==
