[21:08] Shaddup corporal ! [21:09] drop and give me 20, maggot ! [21:09] * Maris crosses his arms and gives Vanal a make me look [21:09] * Vanal pulls out hios Reaver Daiklaive [21:09] This is a daiklaive [21:09] it ha smany uses [21:09] cutting bread, diggign trenches... [21:10] ...cutting annoying cynis in half [21:10] Now then, when we last met, Jynaru has cravings for Bliss, Maris is coming out of his private bathroom to find Shakel and Irin making out, and Vanal is in his room drinking 1000 year old booze [21:10] * Maris pulls out his claws and says, "These are my claws, They're good canopeners." [21:10] * Maris looks at Shakel and Irin and growls out, "Where the hell did Vanal Go?" [21:10] and chain smoking [21:10] I'm your captain, yes your captain, so return me my ship. [21:11] * Jynaru is heading down the hallways to see just what the hell is more important to Maris than getting of the Ship o' Anathema. [21:11] * Vanal grind sout one of Jyn's relaxo-smokes... [21:11] "Fucking a...it's not working..." [21:11] Irin pulls herself off of Shakel long enough to look at Maris.. "Vanal went back to his room... " she winks at Maris. "I guess he didn't want to have any fun." [21:11] * Vanal lights up another one...and tosses back another dram of 1000-year old scotch [21:12] Shakel is looking at Irin consideringly, almost surprised.. both their clothes have been rather, displaced [21:12] "I guess not. I'll go talk to him." [21:12] * Maris leaves for Vanal's room [21:12] * Vanal scowls and hurls the dram at the wall, still thinkign very, VERY bleak thoughts [21:13] * Maris knocks on Vanal's door. [21:13] (translation...he still thinks Maris is involved) [21:13] "WHO THE HELL IS IT ?!" [21:13] "It's Maris." [21:13] * Vanal shouts through the door "Takign a break from knifing me in the BACK ?!" [21:13] Irin watches maris leave and then gets back to shakel [21:14] (for the record, Van never went IN the room...he jsut heard the noises) [21:14] "What the hell are you talking about?" [21:15] * Vanal gets up and almost tears the door open, swaying a tinch from the alcohol..."You *KNOW* how I fgeel about her, Maris" [21:15] ((yeah Maris wouldn't have let them in his room without Vanal unless Vanal had never been near them. And even then he wouldn't let them do that.)) [21:15] * Maris stands completely dressed in his armor still, "Yeah well Shakel isn't the type of girl to stick to one guy. Besides why are you mad at me. It's Irin you should be mad at." [21:16] * Vanal blubbers a few times "you mean...you didn't..." [21:16] -> *vanal* me and maris had a chat. What really happened is, Vanal was in the room, the two started making out, and then you got a little looney and took off because you thought you weren't invited. Though you might remeber otherwise due to the 1000 year old alkey [21:16] "Why the hell would I sleep with Shakel behind your back?" [21:17] * Vanal sighs and curses a bit in Low Realm "I'm...sorry Maris, and I don't know why you would...fuck I SHOULD have known you wouldn't." [21:18] * Maris shrugs, "Things happen. You alright though? Shakel really isn't the type of girl you should be getting serious with." [21:18] * Vanal sighs [21:18] "It's not that easy, Maris...not for me, anyways." [21:19] * Vanal looks at the bottle of scotch and the burned trio of smokes sitting on the table [21:19] * Jynaru fumes as he heads through the hallway, dragging Tala behind him, and stops as he sees maris. "This, THIS is occupied, eh Tala?" [21:20] "Fuck it, I'm swearing off the stuff for a bit. " [21:20] Tala looks at Jynaru, and Jynaru, you notice the steady, soft & steamy moaning coming from Maris' room [21:20] * Vanal sighs and leans agaisnt his doorjamb [21:21] "Well maybe they'll let you join in if you ask... ' He looks over to Jyn, "Hey Jynaru, What's up?" [21:21] "I really do pick the wrong ones to fall for, eh ?" [21:21] * Vanal scratches his chin at the concept [21:21] "I've got a way to get us out of this damn place." [21:21] "Thank the gods. What the hell do we have to do?" [21:21] * Jynaru looks around. [21:22] * Vanal sigh "you have a horrid sens eof timing, Jynaru." [21:22] "I'll explain somewhere more private." [21:22] "Again...Mela...I'm sorry Maris...I shouldn't have gone off like that." [21:23] * Maris shrugs and pats Vanal on the back, "No problem. Try not to do it too often." He then looks to Jynaru, "Well lead the way then." [21:23] "Irin and Shakel are a bit busy for the moment so we'd best work without them." [21:24] * Jynaru blinks. "Irin? Shakel, what could they possi....OHHHHHH...." [21:24] [21:24] * Vanal scowls sourly "Yeah, yeah...let's not dwell, okay" [21:24] "Anybody seen Tei?" [21:24] * Vanal shoves his hand sin his pockets [21:24] * Maris shakes his head, "Nope." [21:24] * Jynaru will usher Tala into the room and close the door. [21:24] "'fraid not." [21:25] * Maris sits and listens [21:25] "Damn. not good, though I guess having too many would be suspicious..." [21:25] * Vanal closes the door "Pardon the mess." [21:25] Tala enters the room and stands quietly by the door. [21:25] * Jynaru will outline his and Tala's findings, the theory behind the plan, and roughly what it entails. [21:25] "If Tei is coming, the others should be as well." [21:25] *is here, even [21:25] "Essentially, we fake an injury and get Meridian there. He either opens the door or we open him up." [21:26] "I can do that...thbe opening him up part." [21:26] "What door is he opening?" [21:26] "We've isolated the essence disturbance to a small area, but it's locked down." [21:27] "I think if we can get in there, we can figure out what's going on and put a stop to it. [21:28] "Alright that works. Let's get there and call him then. Not sure how we can fake an injury though." [21:28] "Vanal can play drunk and we could call meridian to help restrain him though." [21:29] "Wine should replicate a blood stain, and with our paranoia about saboteurs, it's an easy connection." [21:29] "I don't think much playing will be needed there, Maris." [21:29] * Vanal gestured to the bottle and the smokes [21:29] * Jynaru shrugs. [21:29] "Whatever you guys think will work best." [21:30] * Maris nods [21:30] "Alright grab some Wine and pour it on Tala. The Crazy one can have gotten too drunk and hurt herself with the bottle. [21:31] (Ah, the benefits of having NPCs.) [21:31] "There anything left in here, Van?' [21:31] "'it's scotch, Jyn. Wine's over there..." [21:31] * Vanal gestures [21:32] * Jynaru 'll grab the wine. "You ok with this plan, Tala?" [21:32] * Maris grabs what's left and if there's not any he'll go to his room and grab the extra bottles he has in there more or les ignoring Irin and Shakel though getting a little peek [21:33] * Vanal looks sour as he hears the volume of the moans increase [21:33] * Maris closes the door behind him and heads after the others [21:34] "Remind me to have my head checke donce this is all over." [21:34] Tala goes along with your plan [21:34] "Good idea." [21:35] * Maris will call Meridian when they're in the area and Tala is stumbling aruond drunk with the broken wine bottle or two. [21:35] Irin seems to be doing most of the work [21:35] Er, I don't think Tala will get drunk [21:35] Pretend to get drunk even [21:35] "drunk" [21:35] She only hasta PRETEND [21:35] hmm [21:35] allright... [21:35] "Want me to slosh some of the good stuff on her ? a few drops and she'll reek of it." [21:36] Maris, how are you going to call meridian? [21:36] * Maris yells out, "Hey Meridian get over here!!" [21:36] "wonderfully subtle, buddy." [21:36] Maris, you're two decks below the party, and meridian is probably in the main hall. [21:36] * Jynaru and Vanal will be holding vigil, and faking medical care. Remember, this is right by the verboten door that she's going to be. [21:36] * Maris will head upstairs to get him then, "You watch her I'll get him." [21:37] It doesn't make sense for our wonderful Presence friend here to ask him to open the door if we're not near the door. Besides, the area was deserted. [21:38] * Maris will head upstairs to find Meridian. [21:38] Maris roll wits + investigation [21:38] !ex 6 [21:38] Maris : !ex 6, 10, 3, 2, 10, 6, 1, Successes : 4 [21:38] * Jynaru will herd the "drunken" Tala and the drunken Vanal to the area, and prepare to wait. [21:41] Maris you quickly find Meridian sampling some appetizers from a plate. You feel like you're being watched, but none of these people seem to be looking at you when you're facing them... The main hall is, of course, still packed with partygoers, and they don't seem like they're going to stop. Meridian sees you as you approach, and turns to greet you. [21:41] * Vanal fingers the daiklaive at his waist [21:42] "Hey Meridian. Need your help downstairs. Some of the guys had too much to drink and some help would be appreciated getting them clamed down." [21:42] "Calm down, Van. You look like you're expecting an attack. He can't suspect anything if this is gonna work." [21:42] * Maris says looking slightly exasebated. [21:42] "I'm a little tired, and a little FUCKING WIRED, Jyn..." [21:42] * Vanal tries to shake off his jitters [21:42] Meridian nod slowly. [21:43] "Allright, I'll see what I can do." [21:43] * Maris smiles relieved, "Allright come on." [21:43] * Maris leads him downstairs to the others [21:43] He catches somebody's eye, says a few words in old realm, and then follows you quickly downstairs. [21:44] * Vanal cracks his neck, and preps to try and act [21:44] [you note that that somebody is wearing the same uniform as him] [21:45] A few minutes later you arrive on the scene, Meridian seeing the stain on Tala's gown as she staggers around awkwardly, confined by Jynaru [21:45] Storyteller : !ex 4, 2, 6, 6, 5, Successes : 0 [21:45] !ex 4 [21:45] Storyteller : !ex 6, 5, 1, 10, 5, 3, 4, Successes : 2 [21:45] !ex 6 [21:46] He looks at Maris oddly. [21:46] "Tala..please...calm down...we're trying to help." [21:46] "Sir, Is this some kind of joke?" [21:48] Storyteller : 1d10+6, 3 , Total: 9 [21:48] !roll 1d10+6 [21:48] He looks at you sadly. [21:49] "She isn't drunk.. You've never been drunk in your life, have you, Tala?" [21:49] (Was that init?) [21:49] Tala tries to keep up the act [21:49] *oh, fuck it* [21:49] (yeap, if you want to attack him before he can draw to defend himself, you have to beat his init [21:49] !roll 1d10+9 [21:49] Jynaru : 1d10+9, 2 , Total: 11 [21:49] * Maris is right next to him. He just grabs the sword and sheath and pulls it off him [21:49] !roll 1d10+7 [21:49] Vanal : 1d10+7, 4 , Total: 11 [21:50] !roll 1d10+13 [21:50] Maris : 1d10+13, 8 , Total: 21 [21:50] * Vanal unsheathes his daiklaive in a flash, and rests its tip right at the base of Meridian throat [21:50] * Jynaru whirls around with arrow drawn and levels it squarely at Meridian's face, making sure Vanal isn't blocking my aim. [21:51] Maris, roll dex + brawl, then strength + athletics [21:51] Storyteller : !ex 5, 9, 4, 8, 8, 5, Successes : 3 [21:51] !ex 5 [21:51] Storyteller : !ex 5, 10, 9, 8, 1, 4, Successes : 4 [21:51] !ex 5 [21:51] "This may be a joke...but *this, meridian, is a 100-year old, Red Jade Reaver Daiklaive. Make one false move, and you'll be able to smoke a cigar through your jugular" [21:51] Meridian reaches for his sword when you two pull your weapons, and as he draws it maris attempts to grab it out of his hands... [21:52] !ex 12 [21:52] Maris : !ex 12, 6, 2, 10, 2, 7, 1, 7, 2, 3, 2, 3, 9, Successes : 5 [21:53] Maris pulls the adamantium blade from his grasp, admiring the cool, sharp edge and the lightweight handling as he does so. [21:53] Meridian looks angrily at you all [21:53] "What is this?" [21:53] * Maris takes the weapon to the door then [21:54] "I wouldn't try anything. See the guy wth the big sword? He's doesn't want to be here, and I imagine he's looking to kill somebody." [21:54] * Vanal grins, totally deadpan [21:54] Meridian looks at Vanal. Easily realizing who the drunk one really is. [21:55] "As for what this is, well, I don't rightly know. But I'm looking to find out." [21:55] Tala looks miffed about something, but has given up the ruse and is checking around her.. before staring rudely at meridian. [21:55] * Maris will try to use the weapon to carve open the door. [21:55] "What the fuck is this place, Meridian ?" [21:55] Meridian merely returns her gaze, before looking back at Vanal... [21:55] * Jynaru calls over his shoulder to Maris. "How's that door coming?" [21:55] Maris, dex + melee [21:55] "Tala, that disturbance still localized?" [21:55] "It's a boat, you fool." [21:55] !ex 7 [21:55] Maris : !ex 7, 5, 10, 9, 2, 9, 3, 9, Successes : 5 [21:56] "No fucking shit. It's also a beached boat with a big fucking hole in the hull." [21:56] "It's much stronger now... and... there's something.. /wrong/ about him." [21:56] "so where the hell did all this shit come from." [21:56] "Yeah, a boat, in a storm, with magically appearing people who don't speak the language." [21:57] "You'd better answer me, little man. I've had a *really* bad day, and gutting soem arrogant ass might make things better. Tabius isn't here, so you can fill in for him." [21:57] * Vanal cues up the good ol' Cathak force of personality [21:57] * Maris hopes the doors is coming along [21:57] Meridian looks at you calmly [21:58] "People on the ship who shouldn't exist, a ship that shouldn't be here, and no way to leave. Sounds like a trap to me. I don't like traps." [21:58] Maris, you make a nasty gash in the door, but you're going to have to carve down the wall. What is your damage pool with 5 extra sux? [21:58] [sword is +2A damage] [21:59] * Vanal keeps Meridian at sword's length, he may be durnk, but he's still got a soldier's training [21:59] Can I use mountain toppling strength? [21:59] sure, it's glass. more rock then jade. [21:59] "ESPECIALLY traps set by dragonsdamned Anathema!" [21:59] "Anathema? What, are there yozi-spawn here?" [21:59] "Tell me, Meridian...ever hear the name 'Red Bloom' ?" [21:59] Using it and that's 11A [21:59] without the 5 successes [22:00] with it's 16A [22:00] ok, you'll have to cut a hole in the wall. It's an inch thick of nearly-solid magical alloy, but hey, it's cutting.... [22:01] It is very hard to turn the blade regardless; you should be able to do it in 4 more strokes [22:01] * Maris powers up Strength of Stone Tech to increase his strength and keeps going at the door [22:01] 12A without successes now [22:02] "I asked you a question, little man. You'd better answer me." [22:02] Meridian looks at you all angrily. "Do you have any idea what it will cost to repair that?!" [22:02] "ANSWER MY QUESTION !" [22:02] * Jynaru laughs. [22:02] * Maris keeps going at the door [22:02] Maris, after your final cut, the slab just sits there... give it a good kick, and it'll fall down [22:02] * Vanal twists the sword ever-so-slightly [22:02] * Maris gives it a good kick then [22:02] a roll of sweat falls down Meridian's face. [22:02] "No." [22:03] "Considering this damn boat heals itself, like that big gash in the side of the boat we saw, I'm sure you won't have any problems at all." [22:03] "Heals itself? what are you talking about? This ship can't heal itself!" [22:03] "That requires enchantments far beyond the abilities of our patrons!" [22:04] * Maris checks out what's on the other side of the door [22:04] "Tell me, Meridian...why did this boat set out in the first placE? A betrayal, perhaps ?" [22:04] "And quite frankly, what the hell are you ?" [22:04] "Yeah, RIGHT. We came in here from OUTSIDE. Last time I checked, the boat's sitting on it's side on the ground with a big rip in the hull with rubble inside it. [22:05] "Tala! Check the disturbance!" [22:05] "It's a cruise ship! A luxury liner!" he spits at jynaru's comment. "Excuse me for being a bit disbelieving." [22:05] * Jynaru smiles. [22:05] "You obviously teleported here through the main entrance pavillion." [22:05] "What language are we speaking, Meridian?" [22:06] "Teleported here?" [22:06] * Vanal keeps the sword pointed at Meridian [22:06] * Maris is still wondeirng what's on the other side of the door [22:07] "Maris here found a switch and hit it. The next thing we knew, we were in that pavillion thing." [22:07] Maris : It just looks like another room... however, everyone can feel a wash of essence flowing through the hole now. [22:07] Meridian shimmers and sparks. [22:07] * Maris heads into the room, "Tala figure out where it's coming from." [22:08] "Oh-ho! Our gracious host is not what he appears!" [22:08] "What.. the hell..." [22:08] "Waitaminute..." [22:08] * Maris tries to figure out what's going on in the room. [22:09] It looks like a room, just like your private chambers [22:09] "Tala where's the flow coming from?" [22:09] All your chambers looked pretty much the same... [22:09] * Maris walks in the room and looks around. [22:10] (anyone inside, and get our Essencehound on the trail) [22:10] * Maris is inside [22:10] "Perhaps we should step inside?" [22:10] "From in the room opposite to the hole! [22:10] "Meridian...what are you ?" [22:10] "mortal ? spirit ? fae ? Exalted ?" [22:10] "It's going .. right through the wall... [22:11] "I'm a mortal. Though my great grandfather was chosen by the gods.." his form flickers, then stabilizes again, as normal as always. [22:11] "Why? [22:11] * Maris starts hacking through the wall then not feeling like taking the time to figure out if there's a secret switch. [22:11] "Keep going, Maris. Vanal, Tala, Meridian, inside. I'm not letting Maris do this alone." [22:11] "Because you just flickered." [22:11] "What?!" [22:11] * Maris is flowing with energy at the moment [22:11] * Vanal gestures with his head [22:11] "into the room." [22:12] "Or I'll cut you a new blow-hole." [22:12] "... I thnink you're all suffering from some kind of mass hallucination. and Do NOT cut down that wall. That's restricted." he says as vanal herds him into the room [22:12] * Jynaru will cover Meridian. "I see... And why would that be?" [22:13] "Meridian, does the title 'Scarlet Empress' king a bell ?' [22:13] * Maris keeps at it. [22:13] *ring [22:13] "Empress?" [22:14] "You must be insane. The Deliberative handles all matters of government." [22:14] * Jynaru smiles. [22:14] "And I assume it's under the guidance of the Sun, yes?" [22:14] "What the hell are you guys on?! Did somebody slip you something in your wine?!" [22:14] "What about...the immaculate order ?" [22:15] "I'm high on life, baby." [22:15] * Vanal grins toothily [22:15] (...LOL!!!) [22:15] "The what? You're damn right it's under the Unconquered Sun! Who else would we be under, " [22:15] * Maris keeps hacking away [22:15] "I knew It! It's the damned Eldridge!" [22:15] "The damned what?" [22:16] (What's our ETA on getting through the wall?) [22:16] "And this question is the for the delxue warstrider...ever heard of house Cathak ?" [22:16] Maris... you cut at the wall.. [22:16] As you do, a horrible yellow light shines through the cut, like a beam of fire.... burning through your clothing as pure essence escapes through the wall.... [22:17] "Guys...can I run this guy through, pretty please ?" [22:17] Everyone soak 5 lethal, stamina only - essence burns [22:17] (Yay! Meltdown in T minus 5 minutes!) [22:17] (Charms apply?) [22:17] The yellow light burns through the crack, washing over you all like a wild current... [22:17] ((2 lethal Soak without essence)) [22:17] (does my Collar of Dawn's cleansing light count ?) [22:18] If you can increase your unarmored lethal soak it's fine [22:18] sweet [22:18] * Vanal blinks [22:18] * Maris unfortunately can't [22:18] "That kinda...tingled." [22:18] You're all in the room, washed over with light... [22:19] * Maris growls and get's away from the hole as best he can [22:19] It's hard to see, and maris has only so far made the first cut in the far wall. [22:19] Meridian, strangely, seems unaffected. [22:19] (I spend 5 motes peripheral on 5-dragon fortitude. That's applied before damage is rolled.) [22:19] * Maris get's up and makes another cut at the door. [22:20] "You know, meridian, any NORMAL person would be close to dead by now with this much Essence flowing around." [22:20] * Jynaru examins him carefully for any flickers. [22:20] "Guess we're a buncha weirdoes, eh Jynaru ?" [22:21] * Maris will keep hacking at the wall unless he passes out. [22:21] "But we know what *we* are...you're the mystery, little man." [22:21] "Yep. The tip of the top, the cream of the crop." [22:23] "What? Don't be absurd. It's perfectly safe, the only way it wouldn't be is if there was something wrong with the reactor! [22:23] (roll damage yourself, if you have to) [22:23] !ex 3 [22:23] Maris : !ex 3, 5, 7, 6, Successes : 1 [22:23] (remeber you roll at least one dice, take these many levels in lethal) [22:23] * Maris grunts and keeps hacking [22:24] "Something wrong with the reactor..." [22:24] Maris every round you keep attacking, you have to be in contact with the light, so roll damage. It will take 8 attacks to make it through the wall at this rate, you are on #2. It seems that they made these walls thicker..." [22:24] * Jynaru looks slowly at Vanal. "I take it you don't know much about First Age ships, do you..." [22:25] "I'm infantry, Jyn. I HATE water." [22:25] !ex 3 [22:25] Maris : !ex 3, 10, 5, 7, Successes : 3 [22:25] * Maris growls and takes another shot [22:25] Maris, you are now at 3 lethal damage [22:25] !ex 3 [22:25] Maris : !ex 3, 9, 4, 6, Successes : 1 [22:25] 4 lethal, halfway there... [22:25] !ex 3 [22:25] Maris : !ex 3, 9, 8, 10, Successes : 4 [22:25] 7 lethal [22:25] "Maris...don't kill yourself. We can change up" [22:26] (You wanna take a break and hand it to the man with the ignore damage trick?) [22:26] * Maris grunts and sits down [22:26] "Deal with it." [22:26] * Maris hadns the weapon over to them [22:26] * Jynaru nods to Vanal, and takes the sword. [22:26] * Maris gets back pretty badly burned [22:26] "Good luck, Jyn." [22:26] "Thanks." [22:26] Maris is practically singing with essence.. meridian is staring at you stunned. [22:26] "DON'T TRY ANYTHING, little man." [22:26] "What.. what happened to you?" [22:26] * Jynaru will continue the carving up wall bit. [22:26] "He hacked through the wall." [22:26] "The Essence isn't very nice [22:26] Jyn, what's your attack pool [22:27] "But..." [22:27] "It doesn't like me." [22:27] damage pool, even [22:27] (I'm spending a WP on ignoring my raging desire for crack.) [22:27] "Deal with it, little man." [22:27] 6A. [22:28] you wanna roll? [22:28] * Maris sits on the bed and waits badly injured [22:28] !ex 6 [22:28] Jynaru : !ex 6, 4, 6, 4, 5, 6, 7, Successes : 1 [22:28] it's going to take you 4 swings at this rate. Roll essence burns [22:28] 5 motes, ignore the burns. [22:28] * Jynaru 's now at 19 essence peripheral. [22:28] always roll one dice, unless you are starmetal man [22:28] 5 dragon fortitude. [22:29] Applies before damage is rolled. [22:29] * Jynaru 's assuming you can charm your way out of it, otherwise I'll roll the die. [22:29] but you can't reduce damage below one dice unless the charm specifically states so. [22:29] !ex 1 [22:29] Jynaru : !ex 1, 10, Successes : 2 [22:30] ... [22:30] ANyway, I keep going. [22:30] (damage die, 10s don't coutn for 2) [22:30] !ex 6 [22:30] Jynaru : !ex 6, 7, 2, 8, 10, 4, 2, Successes : 4 [22:32] "Goddamned reactor. What did they tell me to do when a reactor was fucked up? Besides bending over and kissing my ass goodbye?" [22:33] "Running." [22:33] "Not an option." [22:33] "And 'leave it to the professionals' [22:33] "Didn't say they were viable." [22:33] * Maris let's Jynaru hack away [22:34] "Sadly, for now I am the professional. I won't be insulted if you start praying." [22:34] What is that, your damage roll or your attack roll? [22:34] "We're not crazy Meridian. We're just from a different place then you." [22:34] Damage. [22:34] "A different time." [22:34] "Riiiiight...." [22:35] "And dragon bloods can travel through time?" [22:35] * Tr4cX has joined #pvpexalted2 [22:35] "since when? [22:35] ?? [22:35] ?? [22:35] ?? [22:35] ! [22:35] "Who said we did travel ?" [22:35] * Maris shrugs, "It's that or your a bunch of ghosts." [22:35] ! [22:35] * Tr4cX has left #pvpexalted2 (Client Exiting) [22:35] "I was just giving you the option that assumed your alive." [22:35] He shakes his heads. [22:36] (HEADS?) [22:36] "More likely, you all got a bit knocked off your hook when you met up with the fae to rescue your firends." [22:36] [head] [22:36] (It's zaphod beeblebrox !) [22:37] * Maris will sit and slowly heal as best he can. [22:37] "Jynaru, switch up !" [22:37] "I'm better with a sword than you" [22:37] * Jynaru nods. "Gotcha." [22:37] * Vanal takes the weapon [22:38] * Jynaru will toss it at Vanal as he steps back, again covering Meridian with Tokyo Magnum. [22:38] (damage is 5A) [22:38] Jynaru, the damn sword is too heavy. You're not attuned to it, so you're at -4 [22:38] "Tell me when you get through." [22:38] (he's covering him with his BOW) [22:38] (ah stupidddd) [22:38] (Tokyo Magnum is the name I decided on for my BOW.) [22:38] "so wall...we meet again." [22:39] (you names I get messed up) [22:39] :P [22:39] (You know, dirty harry magnum ouchieness?) [22:39] Vanal, roll damage [22:39] Has the essenc flow slowed to teh point it's doing less damage yet? [22:39] * Vanal inhales deeply, grips his sword tightly, and swings with all his legionnaire-trained might [22:39] !ex 9 [22:39] Vanal : !ex 9, 2, 9, 7, 10, 6, 3, 1, 8, 2, Successes : 5 [22:39] !ex 1 (essence damage) [22:39] Vanal : !ex 1 (essence damage), 9, Successes : 1 [22:40] * Vanal scowls [22:40] "this might be harder than I thought." [22:40] * Vanal tries again [22:40] * Maris nods [22:40] !ex 9 [22:40] Vanal : !ex 9, 10, 9, 3, 1, 7, 7, 4, 4, 4, Successes : 5 [22:40] !ex 1 [22:40] Vanal : !ex 1, 9, Successes : 1 [22:40] the glowing fills the entire room now... if you don't want to take essence damage, you'll have to leave the room [22:41] * Maris leaves the room. [22:41] * Jynaru will take Tala and Meridian outside. [22:41] "Yell out when you get through! I may be able to do something. [22:41] * Vanal ROARS and takes one final swing at the wall "FALL, DAMN YOU !" [22:41] !ex 9 [22:41] Vanal : !ex 9, 2, 1, 1, 2, 8, 1, 1, 6, 7, Successes : 2 [22:41] !ex 1 [22:41] Vanal : !ex 1, 8, Successes : 1 [22:43] Vanal... with your last swing, you hear a horrible screeching..... then the five inch thick starmetal-reinforced inner chamber of the ship's primary engine starts slding out of the hole towards you [22:43] "Oh FUCK !" [22:43] * Vanal dives for cover (preferably out the door to the room) [22:43] "Dammit! Tala, cover him!" [22:43] "The hell is going on, Vanal?" [22:44] (um, do I NEED to dive for cover ?) [22:44] Vanal you leave the room, and moments later, the thing falls out of the hole you cut, and with a horrible slam, falls to the ground [22:45] "I'm through, guys." [22:45] * Vanal tries to catch his breath [22:45] "Joy." [22:45] * Jynaru offers you a hand and helps you up. [22:45] "Now, for the fun part." [22:45] "Remind me to visit Shakel and Irin and get a nice, safe snog when this is all over." [22:45] The essence still piling through the door? [22:45] yeap. [22:46] In fact, anywhere the essence touches sizziles with power [22:46] "any ideas on how to get through ?" [22:46] * Maris stays away from it not wanting to take anymore damage [22:46] It's so much energy it will, in time, melt through the walls of the ship. [22:46] * Jynaru shrugs. [22:46] "Run like hell?" [22:46] "Sounds good. " [22:47] "should we get the others ?" [22:47] * Jynaru shakes his head. [22:47] * Vanal nods [22:47] "One of you go first. [22:47] "See if it works [22:47] "Maris is hurt, and Tala has to cover meridian." [22:47] * Vanal points to his still-sizzling armor [22:47] "I'm passable, I can cover him." [22:48] * Vanal sighs [22:48] "I'll go first." [22:48] "I could go...but what do you want me to DO in there ?" [22:48] "Otherwise we just wait for it to tear a whole in the ship." [22:48] "Ledaal has a little toy of it's own. Maybe I can remember what to do." [22:48] * Maris let's Jyn go. [22:49] "Jyn !" [22:49] * Vanal pulls off his breastplate [22:49] "Take this. It might help." [22:49] * Jynaru nods gratefully. "Thanks, man." [22:49] "I expect to get it back." [22:50] (um, *will* it help ?) [22:50] "If you don't, send me the bill." [22:50] * Jynaru grins as he lashes it to his arm like an oversized shield. [22:50] (essence burns ignore armor) [22:50] "Naw, I'll just make that bow of yours into a new set." [22:50] * Jynaru laughs. [22:51] * Jynaru will activate his essence and bolt through the hole, shielding his eyes with the breastplate and looking for an instrument panel, connections, anything that can shut the thing down. [22:51] "May the dragons grace your every step." [22:51] (Anima effect=essence) [22:52] at best it will block the light. But the light is filled with glittering [22:52] Fiat, you can't dodge an area effect you run into [22:52] but roll anyhow [22:52] roll your dodge, difficulty 5 [22:52] (It's for athletcs/speed.) [22:52] I think it's to make him move faster, GH [22:52] ok then... [22:52] +1 [22:52] Uh.... [22:52] (stunt) [22:53] Ok. What do I roll to see if I find the instrument panel and such? [22:53] just roll to get in first [22:53] !ex 12 [22:53] Jynaru : !ex 12, 6, 9, 7, 6, 7, 8, 7, 5, 9, 7, 3, 9, Successes : 8 [22:53] He's in, methinks [22:53] In like Flynt. [22:54] Hmm, I'm going to have to decide how you ran through an area effect essence burn. [22:54] Later. [22:54] Right now I'll just say you were really fast. [22:55] Once you're in, you dodge to the side... and are rather surprised to find that the essence beam seems to be focused directly where you came in. After a little bit of thinking, you decide it makes sense. After all, you only felt the essence in a narrow beam, originating from some central point.... anyhow [22:55] "Hm...do we really need Meridian alive anymore ?" [22:55] "Meridian you know how to shut off the reactor?" [22:55] Meridian looks at you, unafraid [22:56] There isn't really anything in this room except for a single large orb of the five magical metals. [22:56] "It's nothing personal." [22:56] "And yet, according to you, i'm already dead..." [22:56] you hear thumping coming down the hallway [22:56] "Guys! We have a problem..." [22:56] Jynaru, it is covered with many runes and such in old realm. [22:56] It's cracked down one side, and it is through this crack that the essence is emenating from [22:56] * Maris watches the thumping and waits. [22:57] it seems to be connected to a web of soulsteel, to the ceiling and the floor [22:57] "Kick it over !" [22:57] "It's connected to EVERYTHING with fucking SOULSTEEL!" [22:57] There seems to be no control panel, so everything would be manipulated through the runes... [22:58] "Got runes all over the damn thing in Old Realm. Crack in the side." [22:58] The glowing runes, which you realize you can alter into different runes with a expenditure of essence. [22:58] If only you knew what the runes meant... [22:58] "FUCK !" [22:58] "We need Tabius." [22:58]
