Trent grumbles, sighs. I'm 65 points from leveling. Ah well. Ars: What other books did you get? Coalition War Campaign, England, and Mindwerks Ars: did Ru get any XP, and did you give 'em to me? Ah, fun. I was just looking at CWC over at my friend's house. Ru: you received 150, and I don't think I gave it to you yet. (Well, CWC, FoM, and a few others, but I digress) ok.

StandInRu is now known as TempRunt There! Kill me! okay. :) Trent chuckles, brains the Temporary Runt with a truck. Ch`Dith moos 'lo, Ch`D Kasia watches the princess try to eat her neglige will brb Ru`ach counts the reasons Aris will have to kill her when she returns tomorrow. Aiies! Trent eyebrowraises You. Don't. Want. To. Know. ;) Kasia is back Trent shrugs, probably does, but is willing to drop it. sorry bout that Trent: thanks. Let's just say it involves cute guys and interesting comments. ;) Mayhap comments Aris made and didn't want publicly known... esp not to said cute guys? That, and comments I made to said cute guys' faces, and jokes I made at her... Ch`Dith roasts another CD Trent chuckles You are One Dead Ship/Walker, y'know that? Yep. :) You are now known as Arsenal 're, Ars okay, we have everyone here that's currently sitting in Del Rio? *blink* Methinks so. Maeryn is here now so's I can list XP from last session...

Arsenal watches the cat play with his D100 :) Maeryn ponders napping til it's time Kasia returns to the fine art of massage waiting for this to get started o/~ In France every Frenchman knows his language from A to Z / (The French never care what they do, actually, as long as they pronounce it properly o/~ +) *chuckle* Heeeee. sadly that is true well, commence the TempRunt stomping.

Anya: I hand you XP for last session. ? 125, right? *nod* Trent pulls out a plama grenade, shoves it into the runt's mouth and pulls the pin. Okay... Reed_S tosses a plaidsma grenade down the runt's pants brb Ars.. if I fall asleep.. assume Mae had a sudden hunger and disappeared to hunt ;) Mae: *nod* TempRunt 's pants inflate, a la Toast Man!

TempRunt is now known as Vix Arsenal sets mode: -oooooo Anya Ch`Dith Kasia Maeryn N`Mor Ru`ach Arsenal sets mode: -oo Vix Trent Ja okay... da sher Maeryn digs her teeth into the runt.. okay I'm ready now :) Dwagon is Go Flight. the following members are outside Del Rio: Trent, Anya, Ch`Dith, N`Mor, Ru, and Kasia *nod* *smirk* *nod* roit *blink* Where's Mae? Ru has been asked by Trent (last session) to find a trailer for N`Mor's rig. What about...what she said. Ars.. I'm still wandering back from tormenting Sergio? Ru: Mae's currently en route back to Del Rio, IIRC... okay. Ru`ach goes off to find a trailer, then? go Ru`ach goes off to find a trailer. And find... what? Trent checks the fuel gauge on his bike, finds it lacking. Vix starts running around in small circles screaming at something, trips over a rock, and passes out. Vix: %) Kasia watches quietly all of the above ooc hehe "Hey N'Mor, I'm going to go get some gas" Maeryn pokes the cow.. pass my charsheet to Ars for me? ooc bright light? Well, now Vix can conveniently wake up at the appropriate time. :) Anya looks up from a book. "That's a good idea." Ru: you find something behind a nearby store. ok. N`Mor yawns slightly, nodding to Trent as he tucks some green stuff into his mouth. Ars: cost me anything? ru: go inside and ask about it. Ch`Dith looks interestedly at the book Anya is reading.... Trent kickstarts his bike and drives off to do so, driving sanely so as to not get pulled over or something. Ru`ach goes inside, then. "Hello? I want to ask about that trailer in the back..." Ch`Dith reads the title on the cover. Trent: You get some stares, but nothing out of the ordinary for you. *muttered* "I hope the cops don't remember some of the other stuff I've done in this place." Kasia watches Ru`ach and ponders a long distance bit of mayhem Anya puts the book down. Maeryn flies back towards the group, muttering about annoying drunks Ru: a small man, slightly taller than Vander but a lot bulkier, steps forward. "What about it?" Ch`Dith looks down at it, then back up. "Sorry. I did not mean to be rude. What is this book about?" Trent ponders someone being shorter than Vander, chuckles. "Umm... I've been looking for something like that. How much do you want for it?" "It's nothing much, really..." "Two grand. You got a way to tow it?" scratch that... "Twenty grand. You got a way to tow it?" "Just a western I'd picked up in El Paso, nothing major." Ars: can the bike handle that? nope yay. Ru: That's what the truck is for. ;) you'd need N`Mor's rig to move it Kasia wanders a little closer to the store where ru is getting the trailer and gives him an itch in his hair just like fleas Kas: ru == she grin Kas: s/his/her :) Ch`Dith [shadur@catv6150.extern.kun.nl] has quit IRC (Ping timeout for Ch`Dith[catv6150.extern.kun.nl]) Ars: Can I get hold of him? Arsenal so? ars; and danke.. Kas: I doubt you can even see the store she's at. Trent fills up the Tarantula's tank with CNG, pays for the fuel and rides back to where the vehicles are parked. Del Rio == Big City Anya looks long and hard at the book, and tucks it back in its bag. well, taht is what you get when you don't bother to give me a setting dearie. Ars: Can I get hold of him? ru: your bike has a radio, right? s/him/N'Mor/ dohyeah... *to Store Person* "Yeah... I need to radio for him. He's gonna pay for it, too." >%) *chuckle* Maeryn approahes the city and sizes up a few potential snacks Ru`ach goes outside to radio N'Mor. N`Mor graks. ;) *into radio* "N'Mor? N'Mor? Come in? Large Cow!" Ru`ach runs. Kasia just sits down until she finds out what is going on or gets dragged somewhere N`Mor 's ears perk as he hears the crackling in the cab behind him. He slothfully gets up and opens the door, reaching for his two-way. "What is it?" "Hey! Lare Cow! You there?" +g Trent winces Ru`ach helps Anya hops down from the jeep, and paces back and forth a bit. Kasia practices her little tricks with a stone, something called juggleing? Kas: TKly juggling the stones? Maeryn spots a cozy looking couple walking along a street and follows them quietly ars; trying to at least.. more likely failing.. *radioed* "If I wasn't here, we wouldn't be speaking. What is it you want, annoying creature?" no, not failing. Anya ponders a chess problem, working out the moves in her head. N`Mor mutters... humans. ;) *radioed* "I got you a trailer. Come tow it. And bring 20 grand. I'm not paying for that." Kasia looks around and continues playing the stones and quick hand movements so as not to give away that she is not actually juggling Trent parks his bike, walks over to N`Mor's rig and sits down on the back. N`Mor groans quietly. "Where are you?" Ars: name of store? Vix OOC wheees. Kasia ooc ponders sleep.. got a lot to do.. but the game has barely started Shadur [shadur@catv6150.extern.kun.nl] has joined #Rifts Shadur is now known as Ch`Dith *mutters* "if the bishop intercepts the queen, it's a loss..." DAMMIT! whu'happen? comp froze up. had to hard reboot. I miss anything much? Ru: North Del Rio General *radioed* "Some store called North Del Rio General. Hurry up. It's hot and I'm not going to wait too long." Maeryn sings softly and listens as the female starts chattering about cows. Ch`Dith grumbles... That CD is history. Ch'D: Just me calling N'M a large cow multiple times. :) not really, n'mor is going to get trailer, 'ats about it. Anya mutters some more, while pacing back and forth. Okay... let's get this show moving... Ch`Dith looks at Anya. "What troubles you?" Ch'Dith.. well.. Mae has found a young couple to torment ;) okay... let's skip ahead a little.. "*radioed* Yes, yes. I get there as soon as I can," says N'Mor, and then hangs the handset back in the cradle, starting the rig up. Anya looks up..."Oh, working out a chess problem. It's something I do when I'm bored." Ru`ach stands and waits in the sun. Out of boredom, gets The Book from the back of the bike. Reads through. "Ah. Do you also play Go?" "What's Go?" I do play a mean game of Red Light, Green Light... :) Vix wakes up, sits upright, and blinks several times. Trent jolts as the truck starts up, grabs a hold of the frame. N`Mor skips ahead, yadda yadda, forks over 20 grand. Kasia [~telosphil@DLL2B303-46.splitrock.net] has quit IRC (you can't play if you have no idea of your suroundings dammit... arsenal can go stick it where the sun don't shine for ignoring my questions) That was cheery Muchly. Maeryn sings a more enticing melody, giving the young man the urge to drag his female friend in the general direction of N'mor as her cow talk gets annoying Incredibly. yeah... considering I was typing in my response as she was leaving. :P "Like chess, It is a board game, although it involves only black or white stones." okay... skipping ahead a little... "Hmmmm...I can't say that I have. Would you mind playing with me sometime? +" you're now gassed up and on the road north to Worth. Trent rides along, helps with the trailer, helps load, yadda. "I would be honored to." Ch`Dith teaches Anya Go, plays chess/go with 'er, also yadda Assuming all of our stuff fit in the trailer Anya yaddas as well. :) Ru`ach attempts to memorize some spells. No yada. :) +d Vix blithers incoherently to himself, just much faster now, and yaddas. ;) a day and a half into the drive... Trent looks around at the little convoy, radios. "I'll take point." Ch`Dith: you spot a Coalition APC moving westwards, about three miles distant Maeryn catches up to the group as they're driving off, mutters about the darn cow being too fast and ruining her fun... yaddas too Anya radios back "Alright. I'll take the rear." Ru`ach attempts to drive while really bored. Trent oocly pokes Ch`Dith Maeryn flies alongside the cow, glaring at him frequently He's alive.... I think. okay... Ch`Dith dives, skimming the ground. Trent: you got a radar on that bike of yours? Ch`Dith .oO(Coalition patrol, three miles away) Ars: direction? north N`Mor glances sidelong out the window at the faerie. Anya watches the dragon react stragely. . o O (What's...Oh shit.) Ars: Nope. Just my vision. Ch`Dith .oO(Directly ahead of us, heading west. I suggest we hold here.) Trent swears under his breath. . o O (Have they spotted us?) Ch`Dith keeps an eye on 'em... Doesn't the dragon have a radio? ;) that he does... I was just about to remind him Old habits die hard. :) Maeryn notices the cow glancing in her direction and sticks her tongue out, holds her hands up to her ears and wiggles her fingers, making a face at him N`Mor: Radios can be detected. +by the CS. So can broadcast thoughts ;) Ru`ach listens to the Jmes Bond theme cue. :) Yes. I'm aware of this... this is less hearable just in case they're scanning radio frequencies +a Ch: if you look closer, you can see two escorting SAMAS units broadcast-mode telepathy is fairly shortrange. N`Mor snorts at the faerie, hitting her with a puff of hot air. Trent slows down and stops the bike, pulling on his helmet and searching for the APC with the optic system. Ch`Dith .oO(Also two SAMAS units. I don't think they spotted us yet.) One of the SAMAS suddenly peels away, heading south... right at you. Maeryn yells and flutters away Ch`Dith .o(Scratch that.) Anya stops, grabs the armor and starts putting it on, just in case. thge SAMAS is headed straight for Ch`Dith . o O (What's going o-- shit!) Vix OOC idles. Call me when I need to come in. :) Ch`Dith lands next to anya's jeep, humanforms, gets in the side seat. Trent spots the glint of the SAMAS, swears, and pulls out his shoulder cannon. Hold, scratch that if he's seen me already.... Ch`Dith stays airborne, makes no hostile moves -- yet. Anya throws on the last piece, gets both rifles in grabbing distance. Maeryn perches on top of N'Mor's truck, plotting Ru`ach ponders stopping/heading the other way. Ch: the SAMAS pilot fires a burst at you. Ch`Dith dodges . o O (Ch`Dith, tell the others not to fire unless we're fired on...nevermind) Ru`ach consoders it damn seriously now! er... considers pilot rolls a 10+5 for strike Ch`Dith rolls a 14+2 to dodge Lucky. ;) very Ch: roll initiative pilot rolls a 1. :P Ch`Dith executes a tight flip, dodges narrowly and unslings the plasma rifle on his arm. dogfight! %) 12 NM~: yeep Ru`ach takes a deep breath, tells herself she's an idiot, and stays with the group. Ars: Can I see the SAMAS? Trent: you can see a glint in the air. Ch`Dith .oO(*to the grunt* That was not wise.) ch: first action? Fire plasma cannon roll to strike Wonderful. Good thing this monster rifle is scoped. 16 how many attacks/melee you have? 3 SAMAS dodges... he rolls a 13+10 (As HTH:basic +1) SAMAS has 5 that was one attack... "I am an idiot. I am an idiot. Ani tipsha. Ani metumtemet. [insert same in Japanese]" second attack. Ch`Dith fires again 11 SAMAS rolls a 7+10 to dodge... yer shot goes wild. This... is getting nowhere fast. Trent tries to sight in on the SAMAS in the scope of his Shoulder Cannon. (how far away is the damn thing, BTW?) Trent: I figger they're about a mile away, at ~10K feet third attack? Ch`Dith pulls around, emitting a blast of flame at the SAMAS 14 Hmm...within range. Barely. I think I'm firing next melee. SAMAS attempts to dodge... rolls a 2+10 takes damage... damage? 9 MDC okay... Fourth attack... SAMAS fires again Anya gulps. he rolls an 18+5. Err...nevermind. I'm not in range. *ow* Ch: take off 30 MDC Ch`Dith can't dodge, doesn't. Yelp. Fifth attack, the SAMAS flies past you, and banks around behind you. Ch`Dith takes the blast full on, roars more in fury than in pain. roll initiative SAMAS rolls a 2. :P 11 Trent swears and lights his jet pack, burning towards the pair. Ch`Dith corkscrews and dives Trent: it'll take you one melee to get there. Glad I didn't sell this thing. Maeryn flies toward the commotion Ch: the SAMAS follows you. *nod* Understood. second action... Ch`Dith waits until he spots Trent heading for 'em, levels out and suddenly shadowforms in mid-flight. Ars: There, or within a mile total? the SAMAS flies right through the Shadowform.... Think Star Trek-esque cloaking effect, only black Ch`Dith reforms behind him and fires. would flying through the shadowform do any damage to the SAMAS? Nope. nonmaterial.
