VanderTook begins preparations for the Hobbit Stomping[tm]. "Armour: check. Force shield: check. Shovel: check. Decoys: check..." well, Commence le'HobbitStompe SteveM crams Vander down an 18-lb cannon tube. Unfortunately, he didn''t pack Vandy down far enough, and he forgot to remove the canister shot load from the gun. Oops. ;)= "Armor-dissolving corrosive agent: Check. Force field degausser: check.... Arsenal will be aFK for a bit... bonfire wanders back to the keyboard - [ ? ] Can we say, "chunky salsa flying out of a cannon barrel?" Steve: Sounds nummy. You are now known as Ars_AFK Raenar weapon idea gets. Kasia stands ready slightly to the side of the mouth of the cannon with a shotgun "PULL!" *to Kasia* Yes, it is. *fires the cannon* Kasia takes aim on Vander's remains and blows them out of the sky! Ru`ach wonders what her name is doing in the topic. Ch`Dith_ hourks Van into the sky Oooh, that's gotta smart. *shrug* *gobackto Starship Troopers* bonfire pulls out the trusty laser rifle... Raenar gets a board with a mail in it. Eek! Rae's gone postal! Kasia finds where Vander landed, takes out her tally sheet of how many times Van called her "babe" One for that pun. -m+n Kas: We don't have *that* long. Kasia hits Van with the stock of the shotgun ChD: Well, hmmmm... *THWOCK* I guess... bonfire aims at Rae's board with a nail... Kasia frowns down at Vander, crumples up the tally. Mundane is away [TE/09:04PM] - *poweridle* - [l/OFF] "You have failed to grasp Tae Kwon Leep. Lie there that you might see." "BOOT TO THE HEAD!" *THWAM!* Raenar grabs The_runt and makes a paper airplane out of him. Kasia managed to find steel-toed boots this morning. :) bonfire shoots Rae's board. :) Kas: yay? :) Steve: Yay. :) Bonfire: Why are you hitting me and not the runt? Rae: Boredom. ;) VanderTook chills to Rider On the Storm +s And now for something completely different!

Ch`Dith_ checks NM for more signs of insanity or brain damage bonfire ponders pulling out her cheater die. SteveM doesn't, ponders Raenar as a Flintloque elf. Kasia boogies to the end of the Ray Of Light dancemix Maeryn slides Ch'Dith an unmarked envelope with evidence of N'mor's insanity.. shh.. you didn't get that from me... ;) SteveM grooves to "Baby's Liquored Up" Flintloque elf?

Ru`ach changes topic to "Public Announcement: Vander is, indeed, very, very dead." "How many lawyers does it take to shingle a roof?" "Depends on how thin you slice them." Kas: *chuckle* "What is closed source, Mr. Vice President?" "Well, uh, it's like when you want a girl, and you can't, uh, you know, uh have her, because you're like, uh, married and stuff." Kasia munches on pizza. :9 You are now known as Arsenal 're all... re Ars moo, Ars. N`Mor boogies to the Brazil themesong Ru`ach grooves to Wind Beneath My Wings Kasia boogies to the American Pie Dancemix Ch: got a stable connection yet? bonfire has some sixties songs, but is pondering tossing River of Dreams in the CD player. Ars: rock-solid. Mundane mellows out to Better Than Ezra. bon: Do so. ;) 'k... did anyone not get their XP for the last session? Ch'D: You do not want to be in Atlantis for the next 5 or 6 centuries Ars: Moi. Kas: Hee...forgot to bring Piano Man with me. :P hey ars bon: :/ Mundane eyes his River of Dreams CD. bon: :( Ru`ach eyes her Billy Joel playlist. bonfire sees no Nazi? Kasia uploads said song to kat's ftp Let the carnage begin KAsia: 475 bon: Looks like you're the Nazi tonight. Thanks. bonfire is the nazi...nifty. Does that make Katya a FeliNazi? *ducks* ow? Mundane gives qolar a swift kick in the rear in absentia. SteveM heaves a foam beer bottle at the dwagon's head. Ch'D: Heh :) Arsenal drops an anvil on Ch`Dith 's head Ow. Ch'D: Welcome to my pain :) Ch`Dith clunks Van with said anvil. *TWONNGGGGGGG* ow is the Vander-Bashing still going? Raenar cracks his knuckles. "your darn right you'll be in pain." Ars: No, it kinda petered out after I shot Van with (and out of) a cannon. kats: if'n you'd assume the identity, I think we can get started. sorry. bonfire is now known as Malik *chuckle* okay, it's the next morning, and you're breaking camp. Ru`ach yawns. Kasia sits up, shivering from a nightmare, then gets her bearings. SteveM wakes up, instantly looks over at Kasia Raenar pases keeping gaurd. Ch`Dith yawns, gets halfway up and stretches like a cat with wings. Malik wakes up. "We got a lot of meat and stuff here. I can have a refridgeration unit built to store the stuff until we get back." Kasia glances at Ch'Dith. "Somehow, I feel a little safer knowing he's on our side." Ru`ach looks around, mumbles "where am I?" then "oh." Carter and Meetal are alreadyup, and have a pot of coffee already made *to Vander* "How long is it going to take?" Kasia gets up, packs, etc N`Mor rubs the sleep from his eyes, gathering his things from his pile of grass. SteveM goes over toward the coffee... *drinks* "Mmm. Who made this?" "Co-hee o kudasai?" *to Steve* Maybe an hour. I can hull ass and catch up to you in a short." Raenar looks at his Vibro-claws. +" Ru`ach co-heedrinks. :) *to Raenar* "Shaddup. Don't innerupt ." *to Van* "Not enough time. We'll take along only what Raenar cut off last night." "Speaking of which..." *goes to square away his gear* *to Steve* "'K." Kasia downs about three cups of coffee, thanksing the two Rangerpplz Ch`Dith wanders over to the cluster of humans all drinking coffee, shifts to human form and takes a cup. IIRC, Malik's still in the shits w/ Steve... VanderTook goes to pack his stuff away in his saddlebags Raenar packs his stuff on the hog. Trying to find places to put the rhinalo horn. Ch`Dith smells it, then takes a sip and grimaces. "People voluntarily drink this?" Alright, still slightly trying to figure out where I am. SteveM knows, oh GM-type person. He's waiting for his moment. heh Ru`ach packs and throws everything in the back of her bike. VanderTook heads over to the coffee. *to Kasia* "That stuff any good?" Rae: the horn is roughly the same size as you. "Come on, dragon. This is the stuff of life. And right now, I have too much blod in my caffeine system." "Can I have another cup, please?" Malik packs up his stuff and prepares for another day. N`Mor still needs to roll up Bessie... yeeagh Ch`Dith looks over at Kasia. "By all means, take mine.... If this beverage is of so much importance, why hasn't anyone done anything about the taste?" VanderTook helps himself to paint stripper "Sgt. Malik, front and center." "Hmmmmm... that'd good joe." -d +s Kasia takes the dragon's cup and grins. "It's supposed to taste like this - so that only people who can stand it stay awake." GM: How big are the teeth? :sniffs at the coffee. "Nnugh." argh Malik comes over to Steve like he asks, wondering what he wants. Carter chuckles. "It should be. I've spent the last hundred years perfecting the blend." Rae: large enough Haw haw. Ch`Dith raises a very Spock-like eyebrow. GM: Too big for the hog? Raenar lights up a cigarette "Why didn't you answer me about being alright without the SAMAS?" Kasia laughs. "Trust me, Ch'Dith, this is very good coffee." "I believe I'll stick to just not sleeping." *to Ch'Dith* "Don't do that, or your face'll freeze in that position." Ru`ach eyes Rae. "Don't, please." Rae: the horn is... the teeth are almost right... but you don't have enough teeth *left* after the head exploded. VanderTook lights up his pipe and puffs smoke rings Kasia glances at Rae, grimaces, then makes the whole thing explode. *ow* s/thing/cigarrette/ Rae: take off 1 HP Ch`Dith looks over at Van, saying nothing for quite a long time.... thanx alot Oh shoot? VanderTook laughhahas at the funny Belf with the smudgie face :) and consider yourself black-faced :) "Sergeant!" Raenar washes up Kasia smirks and finishes her coffee. Ru`ach yawns again. Ponders more coffe. VanderTook continues to puff smoke rings and enjoy his quaffee brb Malik: I suggest you come up with an answer, fast. Raenar grabs Vander's pipe. "If I can't Smoke, Neither can you." "Because I didn't hear you." *to Raenar* "Oi! Gimme that!" back ooh. not smooth. }8=> Raenar takes a quick drag. "Here" N`Mor idly polishes his blade, ignoring most of the inane chatter. gimme a break...I'm trying. VanderTook grabs back his pipe, kicks Raenar in the shins, and wipes off the mouth piece *to Malik* "In the future, you had better pay attention. Now, get moving. First chance we get to get alternative transportation, we're securing your SAMAS. Dismissed." Ru`ach approaches Kasia. "Co-hee o kudasai." Van: half the tobacco's burned from his "quick drag" I know... Not yer fault. Malik's in Deeep.... Kasia gives Ru a funny glance, then pours her a cup and hands it over. VanderTook empties his pipe, refills it, and angrily continues to puff smoke rings Malik nods, and strides back to his stuff, grumbling the whole way. *to Kas* "Doomo." "Raenar? A moment of your time, sir." Kasia shrugs. "Do itashimashite." *blink* "sir"? kat, you're very in character. :) Ars: said in sardonic fashion. *To steve* What. Yes, God has arrived in a cab to kick ass. Trent eyerolls at the "sir" part. N`Mor tries to decide how to go about creating Bessie. NM: high PP, PE, and SPD, low IQ.. beyond that, knock yerself out. *to Raenar* "I don't want to see you grabbing at other people's pipes unless I say so first." Ch`Dith takes the high road on that remark. I don't even want to think about this. hehe VanderTook heads over to the Rhinalo, looks at the horn, goes back to the Hog, gets his laser torch, and starts cutting a section away from it *to Raenar* "You understand?" Trent wanders over to his jump bike. Ru`ach finishes the coffee. *to Steve* "Yeah ok. +' brb *to Raenar* "Now get your gear, and don't worry about trying to get yourself a trophy. You'll have plenty of other chances." Raenar gets some coffee. "Well if I can't smoke I can at least have my caffene." b Kasia watches her pizza get cold and greasy. :P Kasia: Blah :/ Carter douses the fire, and gets ready for departure. Kasia: Dammit, yer making me hungry. "You slowpokes ready?" *To steve* The horn adds to my Hogs Damages ability. VanderTook cputs the cut sections of Rhinalo horn in his saddlebags SteveM remounts his Hovercyc. "Ok, let's move out already!" VanderTook puts the laser torch back with his other tools actually, the horn's bigger than the hoverhog... Raenar sits on his hog. Fires it up. And gets ready to go. N`Mor climbs atop Bessie, giving her a good thwack between the eyes. "Ready." "Let's go!" Ch`Dith looks at Carter, nods and walks a few steps away before shifting back to dragon form. Kasia jumps on the cycle behind Steve and wraps her arms around his waist. "Ready!" *to Kasia* "If I stay in back, Can I have my smoke?" VanderTook fires up the Hog. Malik looks around the camp one last time, and goes. okay, I'm not going to bore you to death with the next few days... *crouch leap downbeat fly* Ru`ach gets on her bike. Ars: aww. :) Ars: And there was much rejoycing. Yay Yay We could have had... more group dynamics! VanderTook does some wittling at our stops over the next two days SteveM looks at Raenar, eyerolls, adds the Why Adding Large Unnecessary Trophies on a Speed-Designed Vehicle Is A Bad Idea Speech to the ever-growing list of things to Discuss At Length With The Belf. spare me. suffice to say, Malik has not found an alternative mount, and is still in his SAMAS. . o O (Yes, we are more than aware of that.) VanderTook pulls up next to the Belf during the drive. *to Raenar* "Oi, stupid!" *to Vander* "What?" it's about midday as you see a sign saying, in Spanish, "Welcome to Ixzotz. Pop: 2000 "You know, sometimes I wish I read Spanish." VanderTook hands Raenar a small object wrapped in an oilclothe. -e Raenar looks at the Package. "Watashi no Espanol grokimasen." *to Kasia* "Me too. Even though I grew up around people who spoke the language, I still don't." *to Kas* "Enh. It's not like there's too much to read." *to runt* "What is it?" Ru, Ch: you sense the ley line as being extremely close. Increase range and duration to all spells by 50% N`Mor strides Bessie up behind the pack, who has somehow managed to keep up with the hoverbikes. (Kudos to anyone who translates that, BTW. ;) Ars: Whh! er... whee What spells? }8=> SteveM makes like the dwagon and takes the high road with that last Belf comment. Ch: that's right, you don't have any yet. *to Raenar* "Just take it." Kas: "I'd like to speak Spanish?" Ars: Doesn't psi get a boost, too? GM: Hrmm, doesn't ley line energy boost my accuracy too? Ars: morphing ability doubles in duration tho. NM: lemme check. *to runt* "ok" Malik stays at the back, far away from Steve and most of the party. *to Raenar* "Hope yer choke!" Kasia laughs, and replies to Steve, "No. I don't drink Spanish, literally. Of course, that's a mangling of Spanish, Japanese, and Martian." Tripled even. VanderTook pulls away from Raenar and pulls up next to Steve's hoverbike Ahh.. boosts a couple things, and it has to be a nexus. Kasia, NM: same increases due to ley line activity.. 50% "Raenar, head back to Malik's position. You're taking him along in yours. +" Kasia sits up suddenly. "Woah." "Malik, as for you, find a secluded spot and bury that SAMAS." *to steve* "Ok" Kasia gets goosebumps suddenly. Raenar backs off to pick up Malik. Malik grumbles. Ch`Dith eyes the Book[tm]... "Only a mature dragon can open a dimensional teleport *without* using a ley line nexus." umm. *to Malik* "Hurry before someone sees you!" Ch`Dith lifts his head, grunts softly. *to Steve* "Isn't that like puttin' ants down a feller's jockstrap?" "And who's going to explain this to the general, sir?" "What's up, little buddy?" Malik is. Kasia calls out to Malik, "Why don't you?" *to Malik* "It's only for our stay in town. You can dig it up when we get back." "Alright." Trent looks around.. "*If* we get back." *to Vander* "Let him. It builds character, and he's had this coming." N`Mor takes a deep breath, offhandedly noting Kasia's goosebumps. "You feel it too?" *to Trent* "Don't remind me." Ru`ach overhears N'Mor. "You, too?" Kasia glances at N'Mor. "Yeah. It's... wow." *to Steve* "I mean puttin' Lenny and Squiggy on the same ride." Malik drags it to a secluded spot, and angrily buries it, grumbling the whole time about how this is a really stupid idea. N`Mor nods at Kasia. "That is a good way to put it, I suppose." *to Vander* "It's temporary. I'll think of better when they get back here." Kasia smirks halfheartedly. "My policy has always been to understate when words don't work." Ch`Dith stands slightly behind the group, murmurs, "The energy... It is enormous." *to group* "If you're setting me up. I'm gonna be real pissed off!" N`Mor snickers... Lenny and Squiggy. Squiggy was the cooler of the two. *duck* ;) *to Steve* "'K." Ch`Dith . o O (Just like.... *axes thread of thought*) Trent looks through his sensors. "Looks like a ghost town, boss. Only a handful of people." *to Ch'Dith* "If you can keep an advance eye on them, do it. I don't want them left hanging if or when the bullstuff goes down." Kasia glances at Ch'Dith strangley, but leaves him alone. VanderTook checks his RADAR . o O (I wonder if anyone else can feel it...) SteveM nods to Trent. He then turns to Carter. "What's your take on this?" Van: You mean, we have RADAR? Gm Have I picked up Malik yet? Ch`Dith mentally shakes himself... "Huh? Who? Uh.. yeah." Rae: yes N`Mor trots up behind Trent. "Living, at least." Kasia: I have 360 degree RADAR on my Hog Ch`Dith looked long ago and far, far away all of a sudden. I mean... nevermind. ;) Raenar pulls up to Vander's hog. "Whatchy got? Kasia gives the dragon another measuring glance, then goes back to watching the city. Malik pours sand out of his pocket, grumbles about being stuck with the belf. Carter looks through his binoculars. "The vamps are asleep. Only a quarter of the population here is actually humanoid." Ch`Dith extends his senses, searching for the by now-familiar 'scent' of vampires... *to Carter* "Only a quarter of... WHAT???" Ch: The 'scent' is overwhelming... too many vampires to count accurately. *to Carter* "Hmmm... where'd you say this Bull Goose Leech is?" Ch`Dith winces and shudders for a second. Ru`ach looks at the dragon. "What?" "You do not wish to know." VanderTook makes sure his TW flares are secured inside his jacket Carter looks down at Vander. "Think about it... population of 2000. One quarter of those are food for the vamps." *to Ch'D* "If I ask, I generally wish to know. What?" *to Carter* "That's... just plain wrong." Kasia glares at Carter. "At the moment, I'm more worried about the *other* three quarters." Malik gulps quietly, tries to hide it. *to Vander, with forced light-heartedness* "Maybe we'll be needing that suitcase nuke after all." Ch: two 'scents' however, is stronger than the others, and they're near the middle of town. VanderTook snuffs out his pipe and puts it away N`Mor just looks on, silently appreciating that he's not human and generally tastes bad to vampires. "Vampires and dragonkind have been natural adversaries since time immemorial. We can sense each other from miles away. Currently that 'sense' is being overloaded." *to Steve* "Heh. Too bad I lost it on our last flight. Lousy baggage handlin' doncha know. " Ch`Dith looks up. "Too many to count, but a very powerful one... this way." *starts walking* "Great." (slowly, that is) Raenar decides to try using his targeting reticle on the town. Kasia does a doubletake at the dragon. "Where are you going? We're not done planning!" "I only hope it's true that taking the big guy out will take the rest down." Kasia sighs. "You know what, Steve? I wouldn't count on it." Malik stays silent. *to Kasia* "I'm not." "If it does not, we'll be dead so fast we won't have to worry about it... If we're lucky." VanderTook hands Steve a Sunlight Flare. "Just in case, mate. I don't wanna go in there thinkin' I'd be leavin' alone." Carter looks through the binoculars again. "The master vampire sleeps over in the large casino," he points to the second-biggest building in town, "but I've discovered evidence that his boss, the one that made *him* a vampire, sleeps in the convention center. That's the large, sprawling building." Ch`Dith grits his teeth and resists the urge to close off his 'nose'. Kasia frowns. "So, do we go after the boss, or the boss boss?" "And of course, the convention center's the most heavily-guarded building in town." GM: If I use my thermal vision. Could I tel how many are there?" Ars: so which building am I headed toward? ooc Thermal vision isn't much use on dead things. ;) Kasia mutters something about "running-dog capitalist exploiter of the workers" and "that Ben Bova book," then quiets. Trent takes a look through the binoculars. "I'd say the big boss." Rae: 1) they're underground. 2) they're not alive. Ch: weren't you called back to the group? VanderTook starts doing a major ammo check, makes sure all his stuff are the silver rounds for both shotgun and machinegun s/am/was Kasia pats her watergun and shudders "Well, we only get one shot, so let's go where the buck stops." *accepts the sunlight flare from Vander* Raenar grabs his gear. Including the vibro-claws. Rae: the vibro-claws are *part* of you. Raenar also puts his armor on Ru`ach holds on tight to the staff. McFly, you carry the vibroclaws 24/7/365! GM: What time is it? morning-esque? noonish? evening? Ru`ach armors. Ch'D: Midday Ch: and you were headed for the convention center Malik checks weaponry, still silently. *to Ru'Ach* "Hope ye gots some goos spells for these buggers." Kasia is in her armor SteveM armors, but first paints a cross on the chestplate and the plating on the back of the neck first. VanderTook ins to his armour Wasn't there a nexus point in town somewhere too? VanderTook follows Steve example Kasia still desn't have stats for that. *to Van* "Not much, but I'm close enoough to...*cuts off* Yeah. I hope." Ch: I looked at the map.. nope -o Kasia: MDC of 50 VanderTook decides to stick close to Ru Ars: Thanks. Ars: :P N`Mor checks his dual Magnums, shoving them in his belt. He slips on his rather oddly-modified armor, and draws Bullwrought from its sheath. The metal sings as it is pulled from its constraints. Malik thinks the rest of the party has a good idea (for once) and puts on his light armor. . o O (Sheez. Bad enough I'm freaked. Hope she don't lose it in there.) Raenar is tired of looking like an idiot. decides not to say anything to anyone. Ru`ach does a few Drill Team moves with her staff. . o O (I wish I stayed to learn more...) Bullwright laughs. "This is the day I was created for! Let it be remembered that today, the Vampire Intelligence died! *FORWARD!*" There's a very easy way not to look like an idiot. *to Ru* "Oi. Here." *hands her a Rain Flare* SteveM takes the Panther and places it on the opposite hip from his 9mm. Kasia nearly gets her head knocked off by said staff manuvers. "Ack! Watch where you're swinging that thing!" *to Van* "What's that for?" N`Mor grumbles. "All of you should be glad this annoying voice is in my head rather than your ears."
