Trent idly wishes his modem went faster
<Ch`Dith> Ars: XP from last session, btw?
Alyna sends a herd of elephants in the hobbit's direction
<Anya> Yah.
<Arsenal> Kei: "Alyna"?
<Alyna> Ars.. guest hobbit stomper.. junior rifter wannabe 
<Arsenal> ah
You are now known as Reed_S
Kasia likes her 'rents. :)
Anya pulls out the golf cart, straps her helmet on, and drive at the hobbit at 
speeds approaching 200+ miles an hour!
<Reed_S> Anyways, I figger XPs are in order..
<Alyna> Kas.. why?
<Reed_S> Trent: 375
<Reed_S> N`Mor: 250
<Kasia> Al: Mom just volunteered to bring dinner in to me. :)
Alyna watches Anya get squished by the Elephants?
<Reed_S> Kasia: 225
<Anya> Nope.
<Reed_S> Ru: 175
<Alyna> Kas.. cool :)
Anya skillfully dodges the elephants.
<Reed_S> Ch'Dith: 875
Trent whees, levelled. Predictibly.
<Reed_S> Mae: 125
<Trent> O_O
<Reed_S> Anya: 175
UpLink [UpLink@pm3std2-45.uplink.net] has joined #Rifts
<Reed_S> oi, hobbit

SteveM got no screen time, dammit,.
UpLink is now known as Vander
TmpHobbit [katster@wasteland.Reshall.Berkeley.EDU] has quit IRC (there he is, 
get him!)
<Vander> Oi!
<SteveM> oi Runt
Reed_S sets mode: +o Vander 
Ch`Dith levels.
<Reed_S> anyone know if Vix is gonna be in?
Kasia draws her psi-sword, a vicious grin on her face. :)
<Vander> Uh...
SteveM makes Vander clean out the Plow's plenum chamber with his tongue
<Anya> He said he was going to be.
Trent ponders silver plating Reed's MOM implants. ;)
Alyna conjures a sunspot next the Vander and watches him turn red
Reed_S draws his Zweihander, swirls it around lefthandedly, and brings it down 
on the hobbit's forehead
Anya spins the cart around in a grand manuver and speeds directly at Vander at 
200+ miles an hour!
Kasia carves Vander up like a pig. Our pig. The one we're dissecting. Very 
slowly.
Ch`Dith eyes L3 HTH:Basic. Hmm... "Kick attack does 1d6 damage" 
<Kasia> Ch: *snicker*
<Reed_S> Ch: 1D6 MDC damage, in your case. :)
Reed_S ponders podracing on Rifts-Earth...
<Ch`Dith> Trent: That's for humans, who do 1d4 with fist. 
Ch`Dith does 2d6 MDC with his claws.
Vander ponders surviving this session's Hobbit Stomping
Alyna ponders podracing where ya'll will be going ;)
Anya gears up, causing the golf cart to roar.
SteveM stuffs the Vander remnants into Mike Tyson's punching bag.
<Reed_S> Trent: who'd be the better podracer? me or you?
Anya hits the hobbits remains at speeds in excess of 200+ miles an hour!
Alyna conjures up a hurricane concentrated over the hobbit
<SteveM> "We secretly replaced the stuffing of this heavy bag with Billy Barty. 
Let's see if Iron Mike notices the difference."
<Trent> Reed: Debatable, methinks.
<Vander> Who's Alyna?
<Reed_S> Trent: what's yer PP? mine's only 18
Anya slams on the breaks, sending screeching throughout the channel
SteveM has a 19 PP
Trent plays the Staying Alive mp3, growls. Someone did a piss poor job of this.
<Alyna> Van.. Kei's junior guest hobbit stomper
<Trent> Reed: Mine's 24
<Vander> Ah
<Anya> oh shoot.
<Reed_S> you'd be the better racer....
<Reed_S> I'd be the one more likely to try it
Anya slams into the wall...this is where the "Kamekazi" part of the name comes 
from.
<Reed_S> well, we're all here, and XP has been doled out.
<Vander> I have a PP of 20 :)
<Ch`Dith> vix?
<Anya> vix isn't here.
Alyna listens to the earth rumble.. watches a large crevice appear where the 
hobbit was
Kasia has a PP of ... 12.
Ch`Dith hrmms... do ISP/PPE increase with levels?
<Anya> ISP does...
<Anya> I don't think PPE does, though.
<SteveM> Only if you're a mage does PPE increase with lvls
<Reed_S> Anya: for supernatural and magicians, it does
<Anya> Oh, okay.
<Anya> I was looking it up.
<Ch`Dith> Then it does. 
<Alyna> Reed.. mail that.. this comp is strictly an irc thing
<Reed_S> 'k... addy?
<Reed_S> nevermind... got
<Reed_S> it
<Alyna> keili@cyberzone.net
Reed_S drops an anvil on his typoist
<Alyna> are we waiting for Vix or carrying on without him?
<Vander> Go without him
<Reed_S> without him.. he can catch up
<Anya> Scientology for vix! :)
Alyna watches Vander get eaten by a huge critter.. digested.. and.. well.. 
expelled from the beast
<Reed_S> Anya: *chuckle*
<Reed_S> Aly: *ew*
<Vander> Alyna: What exactly are you saying?
<Reed_S> must not taste as good as he thinks
SteveM OOCly raises a People's Eyebrow at katya... Vix? Scientology? Porque?
<Alyna> Reed.. umm... he wasn't spit out
<SteveM> Ars: that other expelled.
<Anya> Steve: that's what Ars threatened him with if he didn't show up.
<SteveM> Ah
<Reed_S> darn it... I wanted to see him spit out and land head-first on a rock
<Anya> I don't know for sure if the threat continues.
Alyna is now known as MaerynGM
SteveM aways to grab ice cream, BRB
<Reed_S> I think that's Mae's call...
<MaerynGM> Reed.. well.. he could still land head first
<Reed_S> heh
Anya shoves the golf cart and the helmet away, readies for play.
<Vander> Maeryn: Is your first name Cheech?
Trent uncooks the Staying Alive mp3, whees. Still kinda messed up, but nifty. =D
<MaerynGM> alright.. so most of the gang is headed for Ft Worth in a tank
Reed_S empties the clip of his automag into the hobbit
Ru_OOC is now known as Ru`ach
<Ch`Dith> APC.
<Reed_S> Mae: AFAIK, they're all headed there now.
Ch`Dith is sunning himself on the rooftop, taking a break from flying.
<MaerynGM> a couple are on their way from somewhere to rendezvous
Trent runs a finger down the inside of the troop compartment on the APC, winces 
at the soot.
<MaerynGM> and Reed is in a bar in Ft Worth... doing what?
N`Mor is still in his truck. ;)
<Reed_S> prolly drinking. :)
Anya is in the control room, looking at all the controls.
Kasia cleans out her nails with a knife
Vander is with Steve 
<MaerynGM> N'Mor.. following the tank?
<Reed_S> not getting drunk, just sipping a beer.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. how many drinks you have already?
Ru`ach reads some more in that spellbook
<N`Mor> Got nuthin' better to do.
Reed_S is prolly not even getting a buzz...
<Reed_S> Mae: one beer... half full
<Anya> <OOC> Reed's an optimist, oh no. ;)
<Vander> <OOC> The optimist says the glass is half full, the pessimist says 
[...] half empty. The realist says he's half way to his next drink. :)
<MaerynGM> Anya.. .I'll fix that ;)
Trent fidgets, walks up to the control room. "Rick, Anya, I'm going to ride 
ahead of the APC by about a mile. Call if you need anything."
Anya nods. "Okay."
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> The nihilist doesn't care, downs it all the way and gets 
another.
SteveM makes his way to Worth.... (after pausing to untie the Hog from the Plow 
so Vander can ride... a good distance away from the Lone Star Complex)
Vander follows Steve on his Hog
Trent strides over to the cargo compartment where the sky cycles would normally 
be, gets on his Tarantula and make a jump out the back hatch of the moving APC.
Anya watches Rick do his job, talks with him occasionally.
<Reed_S> Mae: get that file yet?
Kasia gets in some psi-sword practice in the back
Ch`Dith watches Trent bikejump from the back, looks up.
SteveM OOCly plays Live and Let Die
<MaerynGM> Trent.. you ride ahead and see Ft Worth in the distance.. you also 
spot a scuffle going on not too far away
<Ch`Dith> *radioed* "Anything wrong?"
Kasia OOCly plays For Your Eyes Only.
Ru`ach trys to memorize Light Target.
<Reed_S> Mae: do I see said scuffle?
N`Mor <ooc> hums Goldfinger.
<Reed_S> s/see/hear/
<Kasia> "Cut, cut, rip-wha-post, right... chop, block, yeah, sure, slice..."
<MaerynGM> Reed.. from the bar? nope
<Trent> *radioed* "Weel, there seems to be a bit of a fight up here.  Think I 
should bother?"
<MaerynGM> Steve and Vander are not as close to Ft Worth yet.
<Ch`Dith> "We might want to check it out."
<MaerynGM> Reed.. that file.. not yet.. would have to take time to go get it
<Reed_S> *nod*
<MaerynGM> Rick is basically driving the tank for you?
<Ch`Dith> yeah
<N`Mor> No, Rick is driving the APC. ;)
<Trent> "All right."  He rides over to the said fight and slows down, trying to 
stay out of the way for now and see what's happening.
<MaerynGM> APC is not a tank?
<Reed_S> nope
Anya clips the radio to her belt and walks out of the control room, leaving Rick 
to do his job, and seeing what everybody else is.
<N`Mor> newp
Ch`Dith sits up on the roof of the APC, alert and ready to take off
<Anya> APC == Armoured Personnel Carrier
<Reed_S> Tank == front line combat vehicle
Ru`ach stops Anya.
<N`Mor> armored, but not a tank
<N`Mor> :)
Anya gets stopped.  "Hey?"
<MaerynGM> Trent.. you see a nasty looking tall critter with a mask like face 
and long claws...
<Ru`ach> "Where'd Trent go?"
<Anya> "Ahead of the APC.  Looked like he was getting tired of sitting with 
nothing to do."
<MaerynGM> Trent.. he's leading a group of several critters of various races...
<Ru`ach> "Don't blame him, really."
<MaerynGM> Trent.. they're tormenting a wealthy looking individual
<N`Mor> <ooc> No fair, we should be tormenting him
<Anya> "I can't blame him much either.  But life isn't always fun and games."
<MaerynGM> N'Mor.. if you so choose...
<Reed_S> bbiaf... gotta get more drinks...
<N`Mor> <ooc> I chose nothing ;)
Anya looks at Ru's book.  "What are you reading?"
You are now known as Reed_AFK
<Ru`ach> "That's not what Cale said, but then again, I never bothered to learn 
too much about Wicca. Should've."
Ch`Dith , once he sees that, spreads his wings into the wind and takes to the 
air
Trent mutters under his breath. "Figures." He thumbs the radio. "We have a group 
of assorted.." he resists the urge to use 'D-Bee' "races, chasing around what 
looks like a rich guy."
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. how much better than normal is dragon vision?
Meethos [~K75bhsh@bngr-107ppp178.epix.net] has joined #Rifts
<Meethos> hey all
<Vander> Oi Meethos
Ru`ach looks down at the book. "Oh, this? It's a spellbook I found. I don't have 
room to practice anything, so I'm trying to memorize."
Anya listens to the radio on her belt squawk.  "Uh oh."
<MaerynGM> boo fodder*ahem* Meeth
<Ch`Dith> Mae: here's a hint: normally dragons fly higher than eagles.
<Vander> <OOC> Ch'D: Mock not the GM, for thou art crunchy and hath limited HP.
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. vision as good from lounging on the APC?
Trent draws his chainsaw, rides over to the group. "What the hell's going on 
here?"
Ru`ach hears the radio. "Lemme guess. He's gonna go save the day now."
<Anya> "Probably."
<Trent> <ooc> *chuckle*
<Ch`Dith> Mae: forward or downward, not much of a difference except the horizon 
may get in the way.
Ch`Dith *definitely* takes to the air when he hears the radio discussion, 
though, rendering the point moot. 
N`Mor sighs, and picks up his radio. "*squook* You're a bunch of suicidal 
freaks, you know that?"
<MaerynGM> the masked critter points a claw in Trent's direction.. the wealthy 
guy screams for help in a strangled voice full of desperation
Anya hmms.  "Well, there's not much we can do until we get there, now is there?"
Trent pointedly ignores N`Mor's comment.
<Ch`Dith> *radioed* "Define 'we' "
<Ru`ach> "Yeah. That bothers me a little."
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. 'k.. you've seen what's going on 
Meethos is now known as Rick
<Anya> "Why?  I'd think you'd have it made, you know magic."
<MaerynGM> Meeth.. yer Rick now?
Ch`Dith uses his evil sense to scope out the strangers.
<Trent> *muttered* "Oh screw it, I can always kill him later."
<Rick> yep
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. yer senses register off the scale.. definately some nasty 
dudes
<Ru`ach> "Well... really not a lott. Otherwise, I wouldn't need this. *points at 
bo(tome)ok*"
<Ru`ach> -t
<Ch`Dith> Mae: and the victim?
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. nothing from him
Anya nods.  "So, what can you do?  Anything neat?"
Trent rides between the mob and the mobee, chainsaw buzzing menacingly. "I 
repeat myself. What's going on, or am I going to have to hurt things?"
<Vander> <OOC> Anya: She makes a killer cassarole. *URK*
<Ru`ach> Mae: how high is the ceiling in the crew compartment? *evil grin*
Ch`Dith .oO(*intimode to Trent* These are thorougly in the "Bad News" 
department.)
<Anya> <OOC> Hmm... Level 1: Cook Casserole? :)
<Trent> . o O (Thanks, that narrows down my ideas)
<MaerynGM> one of the underlings advances on Trent, muttering to the leader in a 
tongue you've never heard
<Kasia> <OOC> brb
N`Mor <ooc> ponders Lobo as a Rifts char. Oh no. >%)
<MaerynGM> Ru.. recreation room or sleeping quarters or what?
<Ru`ach> Mae: Where we are right now. (Wherever that is)
<Trent> *snarled* "Why.  Can't. Anyone. Speak. American!?!"
<Vander> <OOC> Mae: This is an APC, not a friggin TARDIS. %)
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Trent: *snicker*
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Runt: play not with the GM, for thou art crunchy and not that 
big on HP in the first place.
<Ru`ach> *chuckle*
<MaerynGM> Ru.. 7 feet 
<Trent> <OOC> and now, Trent takes out his frustration about not understanding 
some of the more esoteric languages on the unruly mob.
Ru`ach hmms. "Well... I dunno." Watches Anya rise 1' above the ground so that 
her head just touches the ceiling.
<Anya> <OOC> Speak my language! <ker-THWOP!>
Anya blinks.
You are now known as Reed_S
<Reed_S> 're all
<Vander> <OOC> re Reed
SteveM hunts for a mp3 of Speak English Or Die
Kasia <OOC> returns, chewing on a hunk of garlic bread. :9
Anya looks up, *klonks* her head.  "Ow."
<Trent> Anya: *shrug* I speak 4 languages well.  Nobody seems to use 'em, 
though.
<Rick> hey Reed.
<Rick> reed: I need a little info on rick.
Vander sets mode: +o Rick 
<Ru`ach> "Don't do that." *brings Anya down* "Sorry."
<Reed_S> shoot...
<Anya> "It's okay.  My fault."
Trent stays between the wealthy guy and the mob, the Tarantula's engine and his 
chainsaw both idling.
<Rick> outlook on others, ex. Needed. level. 
Ch`Dith does a flyover on the entire mob, then circles.
<Trent> *to aforementioned wealthy guy* "So, what did you do?  Or can you speak 
American."
<Anya> "So, what other nifty things are in your book?"
N`Mor mumbles to himself. "*radioed* Ehm, why is the Juicer trying to pick a 
fight with a pack of rabid.. err, things? Aren't we... err... better off just 
driving by?"
<Vander> <OOC> Some really evil ways to stuff a bird. They're all written by 
Martha Stewart
<Ru`ach> "Well... it's all *relatively* easy. Let's see..." *opens the book 
somewhere in the middle*
N`Mor <ooc> selfishes.
Kasia finally finishes psi-sword practicing, strts meditation exersizes.
Anya picks up the radio. "*radioed* The Juicer is suicidal.  Let him be."
<N`Mor> "*radioed* But does he need to take us with him?"
<MaerynGM> the wealthy guy babbles incoherently to Trent.. it's American, but 
he's scared out of his mind and talking crazy
<Trent> *radioed* "Well, I'd kind of like to know what's going on in a town 
before I enter it."
<Rick> alignment?
<SteveM> <OOC><SDSteve> "Get used to it, already!"
Anya chuckles, clips the radio back on her belt.
<N`Mor> "*radioed* I see. *long pause* And dying is the best way to do that?"
MaerynGM big blue scaly thing swings a fist at Trent with a loud yell
<Trent> "Aw, fuck."
Trent tries to dodge on his bike.
N`Mor <ooc> could run off with everyone's stuff. >%)
<Vander> <OOC> *Big Blue Scaley Thing* Ootini!!!
<MaerynGM> Trent.. roll for dodge
<Trent> 9+11
Calculus [jrenken@putc221612001150.cts.com] has joined #Rifts
<Kasia> Hi, Cal!
<Vander> Oi Calc
Calculus waves.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. if I ask for the wrong rolls and whatnot.. clue me in.. 'k?
<Reed_S> 'lo Calc... wuzzup
<Anya> moo Cal.
<SteveM> oi Cal
<Trent> Allo, Cal
<Reed_S> 'k
<Kasia> Trent: That's a rather interesting number... %)
Calculus blinks...where'd Prozac go?
N`Mor sets mode: -b *!*prozac@*sandwich.net 
<Kasia> Cal: Shad kickbanned it. :)
<N`Mor> There. ;)
<Calculus> ... ... ah.
<Reed_S> heh... wonder why
<MaerynGM> Trent.. the fist grazes your shoulder, but does no damage
<Calculus> Uh.  Why?
Prozac [prozac@herring.sandwich.net] has joined #Rifts
<Kasia> Ask him. ;)
<MaerynGM> Cal.. it was misbehaving? 
<Reed_S> I asked for the Bot to move from #writing to here, and renamed 
Prozac...
Ch`Dith , once he sees that, roars a challenge and fires a bolt of plasma at the 
BBST
<N`Mor> Prozac is frivolous and poorly configured? 
<Reed_S> as in Emperor Prozac
<N`Mor> ;)
Trent gooses the throttle on his bike and grabs the guy as he circles around.
<Calculus> Maeryn, DS: What's wrong with it right now? :P
Ch`Dith sets mode: +o Calculus 
Ch`Dith sets mode: +o Prozac 
Prozac sets mode: -oo Ch`Dith N`Mor 
<N`Mor> That
<N`Mor> ;)
<Ch`Dith> That, for instance... ungrateful piece of junk.
<Reed_S> Mae: do I hear the roar?
<Calculus> ...*blink* it shouldn't be doing that.  I'll take a look at it.
Reed_S sets mode: +oo Ch`Dith N`Mor 
Prozac sets mode: -oo Ch`Dith N`Mor 
<N`Mor> And get rid of the ops begging
<N`Mor> ;)
<Ch`Dith> ... and that.
Reed_S sets mode: +oo Ch`Dith N`Mor 
Prozac sets mode: -oo Ch`Dith N`Mor 
Reed_S sets mode: -o Prozac 
<Ch`Dith> Stupid bot. Boot to the Head.
<Prozac> Please give me ops.
<Prozac> Please give me ops.
Reed_S sets mode: +oo Ch`Dith N`Mor 
N`Mor sets mode: +b *!*prozac@*.sandwich.net 
N`Mor has kicked Prozac from #Rifts (V:) (*thwock* BK)
Anya idly runs through another chess problem in her head while waiting for Ru to 
find another spell.
N`Mor hates ops-begging bots ;)
<MaerynGM> another of the nasties fires an energy blast at Trent
<SteveM> <OOC> "Shut him up or shut him down!"
<N`Mor> anyway. *backtothegame*
<Reed_S> Mae: has anyone rolled initiative?
<Trent> *muttered* "Crap, crap, crap, etc..."
Kasia gets bored, heads up to the front of the APC and bumps into Ru and Anya
Anya waves at the newcomer.  "Hello."
Trent dodges on the bike again.
<Anya> "Kasia, right?"
<Trent> 15+11
Ru`ach hmms. Reads Chameleon out loud. Suddenly blends in. The effect gets 
destroyed as Kas bumps into her.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. the gang in the APC isn't there yet.. only Trent and maybe 
Ch'Dith
<Reed_S> *nod*
<Ru`ach> er... blends into the background totally.
Ch`Dith rolls initiative.. woo, 18
<Calculus> <OOC> Ah.  If you kicked/deopped/banned it, then it's probably 
deopping you for revenge, which is now turned off.  You can safely let it back 
in now.  Probably.
<Reed_S> I was asking if I heard Ch`Dith's roar
<N`Mor> Mae: y'still gotsta rool fer Trent and the nasties
<N`Mor> err, you get my meaning
<Kasia> "Hello. Yes, it's Kasia... Kon'nichi wa, Ru."
<Trent> iniative is 13+4
<MaerynGM> the blast misses Trent, but throws the bike off balance
<MaerynGM> 'k.. Trent is next
<Ru`ach> "He-Oh. It's you. I wasted good energy on that."
<Trent> Crap.  Piloting roll?
<Reed_S> Mae: he should roll under Pilot: Motorcycle for that, rather than it 
being arbitrary
<MaerynGM> Reed.. if Ch'D has roared.. you've heard it
<MaerynGM> Trent.. yep
Anya takes a seat, and pulls out a small silvery item from one of her pouches.
<Trent> 60 %...I make it.
Kasia smiles tightly. "You'll get it back. We're not doing much."
Anya puts it to her mouth, and plays a few idle notes.
Kasia glances at the silvershinything. "What's that?"
Ru`ach grumbles. Sits down. Attempts meditation.
<MaerynGM> Trent manages to steady the bike
Anya shows it to Kasia.  "Harmonica."
Vander groovies to tunes as he and Steve chunder along to meet the others
Kasia frowns. "And who's that yelling on your radio?"
Reed_S takes note of the roar, steps to the door of the bar and looks around
Trent makes sure the incoherent guy is actually on the back of his bike, heads 
away from the mob.
<Anya> "Don't ask." 
<Calculus> <OOC> J-Rock, UpLink, you're both on Prozac (err.  not that way.) 
now.  Sorry about the spam, but I'm juggling things right now and it's easier 
than e-mailing you. :)
<SteveM> gotcha
<Vander> <OOC> Calc Thanx :)
Ru`ach can't concentrate due to the yells on the radio. Gets up. Walks to 
Another Room (can I?)
<Reed_S> Ru: yes, I think you can.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. from the door of the bar you see a deserted alley.. and a few 
large rats
<Anya> <OOC> I think so.  Or you could ask for me to shut it off.
Vander <OOC> ponders turning the APC into a TARDIS :)
<MaerynGM> Ru.. of course
N`Mor <ooc> hopes Trent is headed away from the convoy. ;)
Ch`Dith changes tactics, belches forth a torrent of flame cutting the nasties of 
from pursuin Trent unless they like being fried.
Trent is, sorta perpendicular to yer line of travel.
Kasia shrugs. "Okay." Watches as Ru leaves, shrugs, and takes a seat on the 
floor. "What are you up to?"
Ru`ach again, attempts meditation.
Reed_S heads out into the street, fires up his hovercycle, and takes a quick 
look at his radar.
<MaerynGM> Trent.. the nasties don't let you have the guy
<Reed_S> 3 mile range on the radar... does it "see" anything
<Anya> "Well...was talking with Ru about magic.  Now, not really anything.  And 
you?"
Kasia <OOC> doesn't think Anya knows she's a Melter yet...
<Ch`Dith> Mae: Just how many baddies are we talking here?
<MaerynGM> Reed.. does radar pick up living things?
<Reed_S> if they're large enough (like flying dragons)
SteveM <OOCly, SDly> sets up a interdimensional TV set and takes in the De La 
Hoya fight with Vander.

<Calculus> <OOC> I'm off to work on other stuff...let me know if Prozac starts 
misbehaving again. :)
<Kasia> "Shadow-fighting... keeping up practice with my sword until Steve gets 
back and I can start learning again." She looks wistful for a few seconds.
Calculus [jrenken@putc221612001150.cts.com] has left #Rifts
Trent kicks the bike around towards the mob, and the posh guy.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> So what exactly is the current situation? I'm getting a tad 
confused here.
<MaerynGM> Reed. you see the APC on your radar and/or the group.. as the radar 
is able
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Mae: check yer inbawx, btw.
Anya nods sagely.  "Neat, where'd you pick up swordfighting?" 
Ru`ach walks back into the room Kas and Anya are in, being unable to medidate...
<MaerynGM> a reptile like creature, 9 feet tall, has a firm grip on the guy.
Kasia smiles and ducks her head. "I kept pestering Steve until he agreed to 
teach me."
<Trent> Ch`D: Well, for one, I didn't manage to grab the guy, so I'm going to go 
back and try again.
<Anya> "You really like him, don't you?" 
<Kasia> <OOC> That could be taken *really* _really_ wrong. %)
Ch`Dith goes toe-to-toe with the reptile then... Is it a dragon?
Kasia glances up. "Well..." She notices Ru entering. "That's in the eye of the 
beholder. Excuse me, but I have a book I want to finish." She stands and leaves.
<Vander> <OOC> Ch'D: You're a dragon. Just land on top of it and scream in its 
face :)
Trent shifts the chainsaw to a left handed grip, remininiscent of something he 
once saw a cyber knight do....classic joust. Well, sorta. ;)
<MaerynGM> there's a large masked dude with long claws in charge of a group of 
assorted vicious looking critters tormenting a wealthy looking individual who is 
craczed and babbling
Ru`ach blinks. "What's with her?"
<MaerynGM> the APC is within sight of the scuffle.. not close enough to do 
anything yet
<N`Mor> <ooc> Feral Lyran? That's heretical!
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Van: Sorta, yeah.
Kasia pokes around the quarters, looking to see if anyone left a book behind.
N`Mor OOCly ducks. %)
Ru`ach eyes the Spellbook, which she so stupidly left behind.
<Anya> "Nyet zneznayo."
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Kas: or did you take it?
Reed_S heads for the APC... "That's a Coalition APC. Dammit."
Trent guns the bike, heading straight for the melee.
<SteveM> <OOC> o/~ She's a complicated woman, and nobody really understands her 
but her man... o/~ :)
<Kasia> <OOC> No way, Ru. I couldn't do anything with it, anyway... ;)
<Kasia> <OOC> I'm looking for Coalition books. Kinda stupid, but there you go... 
;)
<Ru`ach> <OOC> oh, good.
Trent idly ponders what a 200 mph impact with a battle armored, chainsaw 
wielding Juicer will do to something's state of mind.
<Anya> s/nyet zneznayo/neznayo ... <OOC> *grumble* forgetting my russian works.
Rick [~K75bhsh@bngr216-37-173ppp96.epix.net] has joined #Rifts
<Vander> re Rick
Vander sets mode: +o Rick 
Ru`ach grabs the book. "Oh, well. I don't think she'll ever forgive me. That's 
another to add to the list."
Kasia <OOC> boogies to Subliminal
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> scatter it to all corners of the room... together with the poor 
sap himself.
<Anya> "What happened?"
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. roll initiative
<MaerynGM> ohyeah.. Ch'D's fire blast caught the nasties attention.. Ch'D and 
Trent can see they're intent on harming you
<Rick> I was sxuper lagged
<Rick> -x
<Ru`ach> "What? With her? It's really nothing you want to hear. Boring, 
almost..."
<Ch`Dith> 5. fsck
Anya smiles.  "As you wish.  It is not my business to pry."
<MaerynGM> Trent passes the reptile with the chainsaw.. roll to strike
Trent rolled a 17 total for iniative earlier.
<Ru`ach> "It's okay. You're not prying. But I didn't think you'd be interested."
<Trent> 10 + 8
Reed_S pulls around a corner at high speed, slams on the breaks (rolls a 29 
under pilot: Motorcycle), checks to see what's going on.
Ch`Dith ohyeahs, rolled 18 back then... or was that the prev round?
Kasia sings under her breath...
<MaerynGM> Ars.. btw.. how do I know what hits and doesn't?
<Kasia> "o/~ Kono sekai no katasume de... o/~"
<Reed_S> Mae: a roll of 4 and under on a strike roll is a miss
<Reed_S> if the dodge roll is higher than the strike roll, it's a miss
<Ch`Dith> Mae: anything over 4 hits, unless the defender rolls higher to 
dodge/parry
<Trent> or equal.
<Reed_S> the defender can attempt a roll w/ impact after the failed parry/dodge
<Reed_S> again, has to be over strike.
<Reed_S> a successful roll w/ impact does 1/2 damage
<MaerynGM> 'k.. if I mess anything up as far as hits and misses and actions.. 
feel free to correct me til I get the hang of it
<Reed_S> *nod*
Anya nods.  "That is understandable.  So, where are you from?"
<Rick> so have we started yet?
<Trent> <OOC> This is going to get messy.  Maybe I should have this, my good 
armor, teflon coated.
<Reed_S> be mindful of the varied attacks/melee of each combattant...
<Reed_S> Trent has 5, most of the party has 2 or 3
<MaerynGM> the Reptile isn't quick enough to get out of the way of the chainsaw, 
but manages to hold screaming wealthy individual in it's way
<MaerynGM> Trent.. roll for damage
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> ... oops.
<Trent> "Aw, fuck."
<SteveM> Oh, shit.
<Reed_S> ...
<Ru`ach> <OOC> o/~ They can beg and they can plead / But they can't see the 
light / Becasue they boy with cold hard cash / Is always Mr. Right o/~ That is 
sooo fitting.... %)
<Reed_S> damage to the lizard, or the screamer?
<Vander> <OOC> "I don't care what universe you're from. That had to hurt." :)
<MaerynGM> damage to the screamer
<Reed_S> *chuckle*
Trent wasn't aiming at anything specific, really.
<Reed_S> oops
<Ch`Dith> Mae: Don't bother. That chainsaw's MD, and unless that wealthyguy is 
wearing armor, he's roadkill.
<Reed_S> one dead wealthy guy
<Anya> Oops.
N`Mor OOCly giggles. I like Kei's GMing so far. >%)
<Trent> Erm...just out of curio, do I get a damage bonus because of speed?
<Rick> o/~ Eat the rich.o/~
<Reed_S> I'd double the damage
<MaerynGM> Trent.. yes
<Vander> <OOC> "I had to stop her screamung."
<Vander> :)
<Trent> o/~ It's the only thing that they're good for o/~
<Ru`ach> "New York. Well... what's left of it. A little town. Jewish community."
<Vander> -u +i
<Trent> Erm...26 MD
<Kasia> Van: %D
N`Mor 's org director on Holo did the same thing to Kolar once. ;)
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Van: %)
<Trent> It should prolly take out the baddie too.
<Rick> Ru`ach: Problem with that?
Reed_S watches the Juicer run a wealthy gentleman through with a chainsaw...
<Anya> "Da. I see. So how'd you get out here?"
<Ru`ach> Rick: Wha?
<Vander> <OOC> Rich: She's talking ICly
<MaerynGM> the guy spasms, dangling in the reptile's grip, spashing blood all 
over Trent and the reptile
<Rick> NY a jewish community.
<MaerynGM> Ars.. do I tell you all how much you hurt the enemies?
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Rick: Are you being ICly stupid or just stupid? Pay attention 
already.
<Ru`ach> "I... My teacher...*stops*"
<Reed_S> Mae: I have...
<N`Mor> Rick: That was an IC comment.
Trent snarls and dismounts, pissed beyond rationality.
<N`Mor> Unless yours was too. ;)
<Vander> <OOC> Eep! Trent's gone postal!
<Rick> I guess it was.
<Anya> NM: <OOC> I don't see how, we're not in the pilot's compartment. :)
<MaerynGM> btw.. 2 nasties have gone, Trent, the reptile, another 2 are up, then 
Ch'd and the other nasties are after
Reed_S draws his Zweihander.  "What's going on, Juicer?!"
Trent is just a wee bit busy. And pissed.
Kasia finds no books among the soldier's personal effects. She starts 
diagramming sentences in Japanese on the wall.
<MaerynGM> Reed is just arriving.. will take part in the next round
<Kasia> s/soldier's/soldiers'/
<SteveM> <OOC> When am I up?
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Kas: Wasn't your literacy in technocan?
<Reed_S> Steve: when are you and Vander showing up?
<Kasia> Ru: <OOC> I didn't say she was doing it *correctly*, did I? ;)
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Kas: Hee!
Ch`Dith checks the newcomer for evilsense, finds none.
<MaerynGM> the nasties are slightly singed from the dragon's earlier fire 
blast.. the reptile is unharmed from the chainsaw
Anya nods.  "You don't have to talk about if you don't want to.  I am just 
curious."
<SteveM> Reed: when Mae says i am
<Trent> <OOC> Kei, that was mean.  This is going to be interesting.
<Trent> =D
Ch`Dith .oO(*to newcomer* Strange as it may seem, we intended to free that man. 
We still do intend to fight those creatures.)
<Ru`ach> "I... I just never talked to anyone about it. I think I should...."
Kasia <OOC> listens to I'll Be There For You cue up. >%)
<Trent> *chuckle*
<Anya> "Well, I will listen.  I like to know things, and hear people out.  Go 
ahead."
<Reed_S> .oO(Who...?)
Ch`Dith . o O (I am Ch'Dith.)
<MaerynGM> a trollish thing stares at Trent's bike for a few seconds.. it 
appears to sputter and stall
<Trent> <OOC> good thing I dismounted.
<Ru`ach> "Well... they didn't like him. He was Wiccan. And they were all Jewes. 
And they threatened him into leaving. I went with him after--"
<Trent> or maybe not.
<Reed_S> . o O (I see, said the blind man.  Well, dragon, what's going on?)
<MaerynGM> whoops.. missed that ;)
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Wrong move. that chainsaw would have been a better target.
<Anya> "After what?"
<Trent> <OOC> It's electrical, though.
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. you sense they're nasty.. not bright
Ch`Dith .oO(That is a long story, which will have to wait.)
<Rick> brb
<Ru`ach> "I--I did something really dumb. You know, the type of thing you do 
between fear and hopelessness. I set my room on fire."
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Does anyone know how to handle an APC's main turret gun anyways?
Anya raises an eyebrow.  
<MaerynGM> a smaller critter fires an alien looking pistol at Ch'Dith
<Anya> <OOC> Prolly not...but if you can't, doesn't it just mean no strike 
bonuses?
<Ru`ach> "It was an accident, but after a lot of thought... I think I wanted to 
do it. I wanted to screw up, and give my dad a reason to throw me out."
<Ch`Dith> does it hit?
<Reed_S> Mae: can I get a /msg descrip of what the nasties look like?
<MaerynGM> it hits if I say so :)
<Anya> <OOC> The GM asserts her power.  Impressive. :)
<Ru`ach> <OOC> *chuckle*
<N`Mor> <ooc> I think you'd get a nasty handicap for not knowing how to operate 
it.
<Reed_S> N`M: you need "Weapons Systems" to be a gunner.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. anyone involved so far has seen them.. as follows
<Vander> <OOC> "Why do you Spriggins move those big stones around?" "...Just 
because!"
<Anya> <ooc> where's vander when you need him? 
Ch`Dith doesn't bother dodging, is making strange gestures in mid air and seems 
to be holding something invisible between them.
Anya nods.  "Sounds familiar.  Go on."
<Rick> bak
<Vander> re
<MaerynGM> the leader is a tall, not heavy, being.. appears to be wearing a 
mask.. has long clawed hands
<Ru`ach> "And I went with Cale. I thought travelling would be great. That we'd 
be having those student-teacher adventures, just like in the books."
<Anya> "And it did not happen as you planned, da?"
<MaerynGM> the shot hits Ch'Dith.. 
<Ru`ach> "I don't know. I needed space, I think. He was a little too restrictive 
at times. So I took his bike, and his staff, and I left. And if we ever run into 
him, I'm dead."
<Ch`Dith> damage?
<Trent> <OOC> Watch, that's a Naruni PC-Pistol
<Reed_S> hrrm... Rick could switch over to the gunner's station, methinks
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Hope Kei doesn't get ideas from that last statement of hers...
<Ru`ach> s/hers/mine/
<Anya> <OOC> But then who would drive the tank?
<Anya> <OOC> argh... s/tank/APC
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> So we don't drive and shoot.
Trent ponders a Juicer against a full fledged mage
<Reed_S> not at the moment.
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. 45 mdc
Kasia <OOC> listens to Princes of the Universe. ;)
<Trent> Schiesse, that's even worse than a PC-Pistol.
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Trent: that would hurt. For both o' ya.
<SteveM> Prophet Wept...
Anya nods.  "Da.  Ya beedyo."
<MaerynGM> (it's alien and magical) 
<MaerynGM> Ch'Dith's up
<Ru`ach> "huh?"
Ch`Dith gets hit full on, ignores the bruise that barely shows
Kasia gets really, *really* bored, heads up to talk to Rick.
<Anya> "Oh, sorry.  I see."
Trent is glad for his automatic dodge, and ludicrous bonuses once again.
Ch`Dith suddenly slams his claws together and a thundering boom seems to shake 
the very fabric of reality.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> *casts Thunderclap*
Reed_S trades his Zweihander for his Northern Gun rifle
<Trent> <OOC> Neat.
<Reed_S> Ch: been reading the scrolls, I see
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> *nod*
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. quick rundown... or wait for me to look it up?
<Ru`ach> "And it bothers me that I never paid attention to some of the things 
that he tried teaching me."
Anya watches Kas pass through this compartment, says nothing.
Kasia passes Ru and Anya, gives Ru a strange glance, and heads into the pilot's 
compartment
Trent ignores the blast, thanks to both his rage and the acoustical padding 
still in the GB helmet.
Anya nods.
Ru`ach shrugs that off.
<Kasia> *to Rick* "Hey, there, kid."
<Ch`Dith> Mae: HF of 8 for everyone within 30ft; +5 init and +1 to 
strike/parry/dodge for me this round.
Rick leaves the transport and joins the group.
<Ch`Dith> audible to a mile.
<N`Mor> Trent: assuming his roll is successful. You do have to roll to cast 
spells, don't you? ;)
Anya hears a boom, wonders what's going on outside.
<Rick> "what's going on?"
<N`Mor> -;)
Trent rolls, makes it.
<Ru`ach> "I mean, some of it sounds intresting now that I think about it. Like 
Wicca. But I was busy being a good little Jew when that's almost impossible."
Reed_S rolls a Nat20+4 for save vs. HF...
Ru`ach hears the boom, too. "What was that?"
Trent rolled a 8+4
<SteveM> Rick: the transport is still rolling, the group is still inside!
<Kasia> Rick: We're in the APC, and we're a while away from the fight - and I 
just showed up, and you're piloting.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Rick: 1) that APC has scanners. 2) we radioed the entire sitch 
to the group already; 3) PAY ATTENTION FOR ONCE!
Kasia clotheslines Rick. "Where you going, kid? I can't drive this thing!"
<Reed_S> and what're you gonna fight *with*?
<Reed_S> you have no weapons right now.
Anya hmms.
<Anya> "Guess interesting things are happening outside."
<Rick> ch`dith: You know What Fuck off. I've have a computer lockup someone tell 
me athe wrong info and I get no help from anyone else. If I had known that we 
were moving I wouldn't have said that. Got it!!!!
Trent oocly waits his turn.
Anya nods at Ru's story.
<Reed_S> Rich: *chill*
<Ru`ach> "Guess so. It's too bad we can't help any."
SteveM tosses a case of Sanka at Meeth
Kasia sits down in another random chair. "Come on. Where are we and what's going 
on?" She glances at the scanners and attempts to read them(Read Sensor 
Equipment)
Ru`ach <OOC> drowns Rick in ice. Chill, please.
<Reed_S> SDSteve: Isa hope that'sa decaf.
Rick eats it dry. "Didn't help."
<Ru`ach> <OOC> er... was that ICly said?
<MaerynGM> anyone looking sees the nasties startle and regain their composure
Anya nods.  "It is too bad.  But I'd rather keep this skin, has served me well 
so far." 
<SteveM> Reed: Sanka is decaf, ok?
Anya smiles.
Kasia rolls a... 66. Not less than 35%.
Trent notes that he's probably the only one that didn't notice the thunderclap 
thing.
Ru`ach smiles back. "Well... there are times I don't care too much."
<MaerynGM> everyone in the APC roll save vs HF for the thunder
<Anya> <OOC> Kas: Oh, look at the pretty blinkinlights!
SteveM <OOCly> places an order with his uncle-in-law for some Chill Pills
<Kasia> Mae: A 20, right?
<Reed_S> that's everyone but Steve, Vander, Reed, N`Mor, and Ch`Dith, IIRC
Kasia rolls a ... 8.
<Trent> Kasia: Ja.
<Ch`Dith> Kas: Roll 8 or better.
<MaerynGM> if I read Ch'D right that was an 8
Anya shrugs, rolls 19.  Just a big noise, da?
<Reed_S> ties go to the defender
<Trent> And me, as I have already rolled.
<MaerynGM> Steve and Vander roll too.. yer within the mile range
<Ru`ach> 18+4 ;)
Anya hmms...
SteveM tosses the I-D TV... seeing as how the fight's ended
<Ch`Dith> the HF is only within 9 meters.
Ru`ach <OOC> patpats this die.
<N`Mor> Mae: if everyone in the APC has to roll, so do I. I'm next to it. ;)
<N`Mor> 15
Anya <OOC> was just about to point that out. :)
<Rick> 18
<MaerynGM> the two critters after Ch'Dith are average height, wearing dark, rune 
covered robes which conceal their appearance
<Trent> Aww, it didn't scare anyone off.
<Anya> "Heh, not caring is a good strategy.  Anyway, is there any more to your 
story?"
<Trent> Wunderbar.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Mae: ohyeah, that breath of fire did 8 MDC to anyone caught in 
the blast.  Armor that isn't full-bod and environmental doesn't help.
<MaerynGM> they both stand to the edge of the scuffle and appear to do nothing
<MaerynGM> Ch'D.. 'k.. a few of them were slightly singed
Reed_S decides to use all 4 actions next melee taking potshots at the two in 
robes (2 bursts each)
<Kasia> Permission to rp Rick? Meeth seems to be lost in the scroll and I'm 
getting bored.
Anya <OOC> is starting to get a really bad feeling about all this.
<MaerynGM> the leader also appears to do nothing but watch this action
Trent helps.
<Ru`ach> "Well... I started wandering, and ran out of money, and ran into these 
guys by trying to pick Steve's pocket, which is why Kasia can't stand me." 
Pauses. "Now you probably think I'm a dirty thief. That wasn't the most 
intelligent thing to say..."
<SteveM> Kas: If me or Vander don't get here this action.... I'll take it over
<Kasia> Domo, Steve.
<Anya> "Some of my best friends were thieves and gangbangers.  Sometimes, it is 
the only course of action, da?"
<Ch`Dith> Steve: you're already within a mile if you heard that blast.
<Ru`ach> *smiles* "Da."
<Rick> Kasia: I have nothing to fight with, And no Idea what the transport has 
to fight with.
<Vander> *to Steve* What the fark was that?!
<SteveM> Meeth: You do have a rulebook, doncha?
<MaerynGM> Steve.. how fast are you traveling?
<Kasia> Rick: Uhh... it's not about fighting, it's about roleplay.
<Anya> Rick: <OOC> Why do you need to fight?
Vander checks his radar
<Ch`Dith> Rick: You know how to drive this thing. it's *BRISTLING* with turret 
guns.
<Rick> Steve: no
<SteveM> *looks up at the sky, sees clear sky* *to Vander* "A disturbance in the 
force?"
<SteveM> Mae: 100 mph
<Vander> *to Steve* Very funny.
Anya smiles back at Ru.  "Horosho."
<Ru`ach> "Huh?"
<Rick> *knock knock* ch`dith "hello mcfly. I don't know damage, Guns on it, ect.
Vander opens the throttle and hits his nitro burst
<Anya> "Sorry...roughly translates to good.:
<SteveM> *to Vander* "So I pick up a few bad habits from you... anyway, it's not 
something we can ignore!"
N`Mor <ooc> ponders more road pizza.
<MaerynGM> Steve and Vander are close enough to see what's going on.. will be 
able to participate next melee
<Anya> "I was taught both languages simultaneously, sometimes the wrong one 
comes out."  *grin*
Rick attempts to run robed men over.
<Kasia> Rick <OOC> This is pointless. Are you gonna RP, or am I gonna take over 
so my char can get some info?
<MaerynGM> N'Mor.. you can participate next melee
Ru`ach <OOC> punts Rick. You *ask*.
<Vander> <OOC> Rick: Quit being a whiney, over-defensive jerk. Figure it out 
that you'd do better to sit tight until promptewds
<Vander> -w
<MaerynGM> anyone in the APC is close enough to think about participating
<Vander> -s
<MaerynGM> next actions...
<Anya> <OOC> to be suicidal or not to be suicidal...Hmm, tough choice.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Main gun: C-40R railgun. 1d6 MD per round, 1d6*10 per 80-rd 
burst
<Ru`ach> "Heh. I learned Hebrew and American first. Then Japanese. It was 
interesting. Confusing, tho."
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Ammo drum: unholy much.
<MaerynGM> the first underling bats an enlarged hand at Trent
<Kasia> Mae: Permission to take over Rick?
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> 2 laser turrets: 6d6 MD per blast
Trent dodges, or attempts to.
Vander radios to Ch'Dith "What's going on up there?!
<Rick> Vander: So I sit here and Kasia flips.
<MaerynGM> Kas.. did he leave?
<Vander> "
<MaerynGM> Trent.. roll 
<Kasia> Mae: For informational purposes?
<Ru`ach> "I never learned how to read in Hebrew, tho. School had to accomedate 
for both Japanese and us."
<Anya> "Heh, learned Russkie and American first.  Picked up Spanish somewhat, 
then Euro from a dog boy.  Learned to read Spanish in Mexico.  Quite a mess."  
<Trent> 14+11.  Plus, I don't lose my next attack.
Anya smiles.  "I still speak Euro in a growl."
Ch`Dith radios back. "I'm kind of busy right now.
<MaerynGM> you dodge

<Trent> <OOC> Go, go gadget unholy Juicer reflexes!
<MaerynGM> I believe the blue critter was next.. 
Kasia waves her hand in front of Rick's face. "Hey! I know you're involved in 
your work, but can you give me some information on what the heck is going on?"
<Anya> "Da. A few."
Ch`Dith [shadur@catv6150.extern.kun.nl] has joined #Rifts
Trent sets mode: +o Ch`Dith 
<Vander> re Ch'D
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Argh. What'd I miss? 
<Ru`ach> "Anything on Wicca? Informational, biased, whatever."
Vander gets the Hog within missile range of the fight
<Reed_S> not much.
<SteveM> Just Trent's autododge
<Trent> Ch`D: Little.
<MaerynGM> said large blue being shoots an energy blast from each palm at 
Ch'Dith
Anya tries to remember the books in her stash.
Ch`Dith dodges
<Rick> Kasia: there are two robed figures fighting ch`dith at the moment
<Ch`Dith> 18 +2
<Reed_S> Rick: this IC or OOC?
<Reed_S> if it's IC, plz add quote marks.
<Vander> <OOC> Ru, Anya: You've just nearly had your ears blasted out, and are 
very close to a fight. I don't think now is the time for a dicussion on past 
transgressions over tea.
<Trent> . o O (Ch`Dith: Next time I want to intervene against a large mob, argue 
me out of it, okay?)
<MaerynGM> one misses completely.. the other hits for 40 mdc
SteveM spends the time before the next melee shifting the Plow to Guardian 
mode...
<Rick> REED: <ooc> kasia asked me what was going on
<Anya> <OOC> We're in the APC.  We're ignoring the riot as of right now, and I 
have one ear to the radio.  Hush it, runt. :)
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Van: Do we look like we're avarage/sane enough to care? >%)
Kasia looks out the window, tries to figure it out while Rick drives.
Ch`Dith . o O (*pain* I will.)
<MaerynGM> Trent is up
<Reed_S> Rick: yeah, I know that much...  but she asked you ICly...
<Rick> oh yeah
<Reed_S> if you reply ICly, add the quotes.
<MaerynGM> Kas.. you can see what's going on from the window
Anya looks at Ru.  "I'll look at my stash.  I don't think so, offhand."
<SteveM> <OOC> o/~ I can plink for miles and miles... o/~
Kasia grimaces. "Okay. Shit's happening."
<Rick> <OOC> sorry, I'm so used to people belittling me.
Vander radios at the APC "Who's in that bucket?
<Vander> "
<Trent> I chop at the lizard thing that made me kill that one guy.  (I hope you 
know what I'm talking about)
<Ru`ach> "Well... thanks anyway. I'll buy something someday."
Anya nods.
<Rick> <to Vander> "What you need?"
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> There's a reason why it happens so often... AND YOU DON'T KNOW 
VANDER OR STEVE!
Kasia blinks, grabs the radio from Rick. "Vander? That you, runt?"
<MaerynGM> Trent.. roll to strike
<Trent> 12+8
<Anya> "I'm going to go up to the control room, my bags are sitting in there.  
And from what I'm hearing," *turns up radio* "things are not going good for the 
men in white hats."
<Vander> *to Kasia* "Where'd you get that thing? And why are uglies banging on 
Trenty" . o O (Like I need to ask.)
<MaerynGM> the lizard is now paying more attention to Trent as the wealthy guy 
is dead.. and dodges 
<Trent> *blink* Dodges?  Yeep.
<Vander> -y
<SteveM> *to Vander as the mechanical gyrations happen* "Those are OUR people in 
that tub?"
<Rick> <to Stranger> "Who are you?"
<MaerynGM> trollish critter pounds at Trent with both fists
<Kasia> "I don't know about the uglies... as for this thing, we just kind of... 
well, bumped into it. Trent can tall you more if he survives this..."
<Vander> *to Steve* "Yah!"
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Rick: who're you saying that to? Kas snagged your mike.
Reed_S <OOC> *chuckles*
Anya walks into the control room of the APC.  "Hi Rick.  Hi Kasia.  What's going 
on?"
Trent dodges again, seeing as how it's kinda hard to parry that.
<Vander> *to Kasia* "Roit!
<Vander> "
N`Mor <ooc> somehow doubts this is a good time to try to hold a conversation 
with the big ugly guy.
<SteveM> *to Kasia* "Then, we'll have to see what we can do to keep him alive, 
love."
<Trent> 17 + 11
<MaerynGM> Trent dodges
Kasia nearly chokes
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Parry fist with chainsaw. Ow.
Vander targets the biggest ugly with his missiles, tries to get a lock
<Trent> Ch`D: Hmm...next time, methinks.
<Rick> <OOC> Nevermind. I'll just sit here and drive the stupid truck.
Kasia gently sets down the mike on the desk, turns to Anya. "The calvary 
arrived."
<Trent> Didn't think of it that way.
Ru`ach nods. Sits down. Opens the book. Reads. (roll of 30. Skill=30%.)
<MaerynGM> the trollish thing does, however, find himself pounding empty air and 
stumbles.. knocking Trent to the ground with him
<Anya> "I heard that.  Shit, I didn't know things were this bad, though."
Rick picks up his mike and puts t back in the clip.
<Kasia> *grimly* "Nor did I."
<SteveM> <OOC><SDSteve> *to Rick* "That's what we're payin' ya for!"
<MaerynGM> the short critter fires the rune covered pistol at Ch'Dith
<Vander> <OOC> *to SDSteve* "Leave the grunt alone! He tries! WAI!"
<MaerynGM> .... and misses
<Trent> *radioed in general* "Explosive intervention, please."
Ch`Dith dodges... 16 +2
<Anya> "You want me to let Ru know what's going on?" *reaches down, seperates 
Wilks laser from the main bag and picks it up.*
<Ch`Dith> scratch that.
<Rick> <OOC> To steve: Then stop complaining when I don't do anything.
<MaerynGM> Ch'Dith is up
Ch`Dith dodged this round, can't act.
<SteveM> <OOC> Pot, meet kettle.
<Kasia> "Yeah. Good idea. I'll try to do something from here."
<MaerynGM> Ch'Dith.. you dodge for missed attacks as well?
<Anya> "Alright.  You can probably do more here than I can.  Might have Rick 
park the tank if he can use the big gun."
<Rick> <OOC> Mae:can I attempt to run one of them over?
<Anya> s/tank/APC.
<Ch`Dith> Mae : No, which is why I said "scratch that"... I still dodged half 
that blast from the blue guy.
<Reed_S> sheesh... now Mae has *us* doing that. :P :)
<Vander> <OOC> Rick: Park the APC. It has a Big Gun[tm]. :)
<MaerynGM> Rick.. yes.. but you may run over more than you want to
<MaerynGM> Ch'Dith.. ah.. 'k
Rick pulls over. And starts the target the guns.
<SteveM> Van: <OOC> THat's the wrong way... this is an APC... It is meant to 
keep moving!
Anya walks out of the control room, carrying her rifle.
<N`Mor> <ooc> I don't think Trent would like to be run over
<N`Mor> %)
Trent would get slightly mad if he got run over.
<N`Mor> <ooc> See? %)
<Trent> </understatement>
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> also slightly flat.
<MaerynGM> the short critters shot went totally wild when it missed Ch'Dith and 
hit the APC for...
<Vander> <OOC> Trent would get squishy if he got run over :)
Anya sees Ru, reading her book, in the room outside.  "Ru?"
Ru`ach looks up from the book. Sees gun. "What's going on?"
<MaerynGM> 51 mdc
<Kasia> me waits patiently for the melee to end so she can roll initiative for 
the next one.
<Anya> "Things are definitely not going well for..." *tank shakes* "...our 
heros.  Shit."
<Kasia> Errrrm...
<Rick> <OOC> reed: I need the info on the apc.
<Kasia> +/
Vander gets ready to fire his missiles
<Reed_S> *ow*
<Reed_S> main body for APC is 350 MDC
<Reed_S> Rick: what kind of info.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Rick: I pointed out the stats for the main guns already. 
<Anya> Reed: <OOC> Granted.  But we still would have felt that.
Reed_S suggests you pick up yer own main rulebook soon.
<Rick> is that -the 51 mdc?
<Ru`ach> "Oh, great. They're out there? And shit is happening? Great."
<SteveM> So the main body is down to 299 MDC.
<Reed_S> *nod*
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> cool. something else for Vander to tinker with. }8=>
<Trent> Well, more work for Vander
SteveM OOCly puts on that Warcraft II mp3
<Anya> "Well, now they're attacking US.  There is a time when it is sucidial to 
act, and a time when it is suicidal to sit still.  I really suspect this is the 
later."
<MaerynGM> 'k.. next are the robed guys.. who still appear to do nothing
<MaerynGM> and the leader as well
<Trent> <OOC> Uh oh.
<Reed_S> Mae: this the first action, or the second?
<MaerynGM> Ch'D and Trent.. how many actions each of you have?
<Ru`ach> "Yep. We go out there, then?"
<Trent> I have 3 left
<Ch`Dith> 3 total, so one more.
<MaerynGM> ok.. 
Ru`ach <OOC> listens to Stars come up.
<MaerynGM> the underling has no more actions this melee
<Anya> "I'd guess so.  It's either that or get killed when they crush this thing 
like a pop can.  That last strike did not feel good."
Rick desides to run them over.
Trent OOCly puts on the mp3 of Ozzy Osbourne doing 'Staying Alive' that he 
managed to find.
<Ru`ach> "Yeah. Let me grab my armor. And a big gun would do some good, I 
think."
Reed_S stealthily approaches the leader, fails his prowl roll.
<Kasia> Rick: Trent is out there, on the ground.
<Ch`Dith> Rick: Use that main railgun. As said, 1d6*10 MD per burst, more ammo 
than you can possibly waste.
Rick starts up the apc and heads straight for the creatures.
<MaerynGM> next was.. the blue thing.. who fires an energy blast at Trent
<Trent> <OOC> Here's hoping I can fit between the wheels.
Ru`ach gets into her armor, and gets an ion pulse rifle.
Trent dodges,
<MaerynGM> Reed.. you don't even get close to the leader
<Anya> "Armor.  Good idea."
<Trent> 18+11  I hope this keeps up.
<Vander> <OOC> Trent: There isn't enough room between the ground and the 
undercarriage for you to fit
<MaerynGM> Reed.. you have 6th sense?
Anya runs to get hers, stored in the corner of the control room with her bags.
<SteveM> <OOC> Better yet, open the forward door on that APC and have Trent jump 
in.
Kasia glances at Rick. "What the hell are you doing?"
<Reed_S> Mae: yes
<N`Mor> Steve: The nasties could do the same
<N`Mor> ;)
Anya runs into the control room.
<SteveM> NM: How soon you forget... one at a time.
<Rick> "Kasia fire the guns as I'm going." I'm gonna run them down."
<MaerynGM> the energy blast misses Trent.. blows a small hole in the ground 
behind him, throwing large chunks of earth and rock at his back 
Anya spies her armor in the corner, hears Rick.  "She can't fire the guns."
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Erm. You're the only one who knows how those guns work.
<Kasia> "Run them - I don't know how to fire the guns! Dammit, Rick, I'm a 
'Melter, not a gunner!"
<SteveM> And as kick ass as their rods are, they can't expect to survive being 
literally kicked out of an APC by a crazed Juicer.
Vander 's finger hovers over the button to fire his missiles
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Kas channels McCoy?
<Trent> <OOC> This is the LONGEST 15 seconds I've ever seen.
<Anya> <OOC> You were just waiting to say that, huh, Kas?
Reed_S agrees with Trent...
<Kasia> <OOC> *runs* :)
<Rick> "then get someone on the that can."
Kasia helps Reed and Trent. :P
<Rick> +m
SteveM sees the Plow finish its transformation, starts to bracket the one 
beastie causing a lot of trouble...
<MaerynGM> Reed.. the closer you got to the leader.. your sixth sense shot way 
up there
<Kasia> "Nobody can! This isn't a Coalition patrol, we're a group of - stop the 
damn tank!"
<Trent> Well, except for those of us on the ground or in the air.
Anya slides into a seat, glances at Das Blinkinlights, and having no clue, 
begins to put armor on.
<MaerynGM> Trent is up
Anya looks up.  "Rick, this is stupid.  We're gonna kill some of our own 
people."
<Vander> <OOC> Can't make an omlette :)
Trent pounds his chainsaw into the sternum of the troll thing that knocked him 
over. (hopefully)
<Vander> +...
Reed_S backs away...
Kasia frowns, turnes to Anya. "Maybe that's his intent."
Rick stops the tank. "The first thing I do after this is teach you how to 
operate the guns."
<Trent> Holy smeg!  nat 20.  +8 if I actually need it.
<Reed_S> keeping my gun trained on the leader while doing so
Ru`ach hears Kasia yelling. Goes into the control room. "What the hell just 
happened?!"
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Rick: Use your imagination if you have any. If you're really 
hell-bent on running 'em over, try firing the guns on remote as you drive.
<MaerynGM> considering the tangled heap yer in.. roll for triple damage
<Reed_S> Trent: bonuses are not needed for Nat20 rolls.
Anya looks at Kasia.  "Well, he's sane enough to realize that."
<Kasia> "I don't trust *any* member of the Coalition... ex or not!"
<Trent> 21 x 3....yipe.  63 MD
Kasia turns to Ru. "Rick nearly ran over Trent."
Rick fires a shot of the railgun at the creatures.
Anya smiles.  "How much ex do they need to be before you trust them?"  She 
continues pulling on armor.
<Kasia> Rick: Wait for it.
<Kasia> "Expired, usually."
<MaerynGM> Trent.. it dies.. you are now laying on the ground.. covered in a 
mound of gory entrails
Ru`ach eyes Kasia Not Nicely. "Somebody drag him out of here."
<Trent> Figures.
Kasia smiles grimly. "Gladly. Where do you want him?"
MaerynGM decides to let Rick have his shot... roll for strike
SteveM eyes a particularly bothersome little fellow armed with a rune... pistol?
Trent rolls to his feet quickly, turns towards the lizard thing.
<Ru`ach> "Anywhere where he has no access to the controls. On three?"
Anya quietly slides a battered card out from one pocket of the bag.  Hands it to 
Kasia.  "Born in Lone Star.  Do you trust me?"
<Rick> shit 7
<MaerynGM> Rick.. was said railgun mounted on the APC or in your hand?
<Trent> APC
<Rick> apc
<Ch`Dith> Mae: on the APC's main turret.
<SteveM> Mae: the railgun is on the APC
<Trent> Jinx
<Kasia> "Hold on, Anya. Sure thing, Ru. One..."
<SteveM> <OOC> mmmm, quadriphonic sound.
<Ru`ach> "Three."
Reed_S hrrms....
<Kasia> "Three."
Kasia is about to grab Rick when the gun goes off, startling her
Ru`ach grabs one of Rick's arms. Drops it. Grabs it again. "Come on. Let's get 
him out of here."
Anya jumps up out of the seat.
Kasia doesn't waste time seeing where he aimed it, grabs Rick by the other arm, 
and follows Ru's lead.
<Kasia> <OOC> We're *working* together! Wow!
<Kasia> :)
<MaerynGM> Rick.. roll damage
<Anya> <OOC> Oh my.  Is the Devil iceskating to work now?
<SteveM> <OOC> No, he's driving a snowplpow.
<MaerynGM> if I read this right.. the rail gun has multiple bullets?
<Reed_S> Mae: yes.
<Rick> 1
<Ch`Dith> Mae: burst is 80 rounds.. 1d6*10 MDC
<SteveM> it's one burst doing 1d6 * 10 MDC overall
<Ru`ach> <OOC> *ow* Trent is gonna get hurt.
<Kasia> So: 10 MDC
<Ru`ach> er... nevermind. That's damage.
Ru`ach and Kas drag Rick (kicking and screaming) out.
<MaerynGM> 'k.. Trent is missed due to lying on the ground 
Kasia and Ru lock the protesting Rick in a storage cabinet
Ch`Dith hopefully is missed due to flying overhead? <OOC> batbats eyes at GM
Ru`ach opens the door, slaps Rick, and closes the door again. "Someone had to 
stop him from screaming."
<MaerynGM> Ch'D takes 3, lizard takes 1, blue thing takes 2, several bullets 
ricochet off the short dude...
<Reed_S> btw... Rick's Mental Stats are IQ 9 (average), ME 13 (above average), 
MA 8 (slightly less than average)
<MaerynGM> the underling dies
Anya looks over Das Blinkenlights and out at the battle.
Rick kicks the door open, and punches ru in the face. "don't ever do that 
again."
<Kasia> Rick: It's locked.
Trent is idly *VERY* glad he's wearing his heavy armor.
<Reed_S> Rick: you're supposed to be able to *take* stress.
<MaerynGM> we're up to the lizard... who tackles Trent 
<Ru`ach> So? Was the door locked, or do I roll to parry?
<Reed_S> door was locked. :)
<Trent> <OOC> Great, as soon as I get back on my feet...BTW, you know this armor 
is kinda spiny, no?  I can inflict MD by bodyslamming people.
<Ru`ach> %)
<SteveM> Rick: <OOC> Like you have room to kick a door open properly in a 
storage locker!
Kasia leaves Rick locked in there, bolts back toward the ... uhh... what do you 
call that room, anyway?
Trent jams his chainsaw at the charging lizard...simultaneous attack, IOW.
<MaerynGM> Trent is knocked over again.. battered.. essentially undamaged.. but 
jostled
Anya grabs her Wilks rifle, checks to make sure she has her whole collection of 
laser cartriges. 
<MaerynGM> Trent.. roll damage.. for the chainsaw and the spine armor
Ru`ach makes an Energy Field (see spell: Energy Field ;) around the cabinet 
where Rick is locked. Follows Kasia.
<Anya> <OOC> Kas: I've been calling it the control room.
<Kasia> An: Okay.
<Rick> <From the closet> "now that you have me locked in here. Who's gonna drive 
this thing?"
<Trent> 22 for the chainsaw
Kasia looks out, asesses the situation again.
<Ru`ach> "So, Anya, we go out?"
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Rick: It's parked.
Anya looks up at Kas and Ru.  "I think so.  Good job with Rick."
<Trent> a point or 2 from the armor.
<Ru`ach> "Thanks."
Anya looks at Kas.  "By the way, how ex do they have to be?"
MaerynGM summarizes.. Kas and Ru are in a room in the APC with Rick locked in 
the closet.. anyone else still in the APC?
<MaerynGM> and Anya
<Anya> Okay, got me.
<Kasia> "Thanks. I think I'll stay here - I can hit them from a distance."
Ru`ach repeats what Kas said as she came in: "Expired."
<MaerynGM> Trent.. hmm... only 22.. where were you aiming?...high? low?
<Kasia> "How ex? Well, usually ex-pired will do. For brainwashed soldiers, 
anyway. Why?"
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> *low*! *low*!
<Trent> Hmm...if I'm getting bowled over, probably about the stomach area.
Anya points to that card.  "Me.  But I guess I'm an odd case."
Vander WANTS TO FIRE OFF THESE MISSILES!!!
<Trent> <OOC> good ol' mega damage chainsaw.
SteveM joins Vander in wanting to unleash some Indiscriminate Justice!
Kasia wants the fsking melee to end!
<Kasia> It's been an *hour* already!
Reed_S helps
<MaerynGM> the lizard is injured, but not out of it yet... and an acidic goo is 
leaking all over Trent's armor
<Trent> Great.
<Trent> good thing this is environmental.
<MaerynGM> that leaves for this melee.. the two robed dudes and the leader.. who 
still appear to do nothing
Ch`Dith has one action left, doesn't he?
<Kasia> Ch: No, you don't Shut up.
<Kasia> ;)
<SteveM> Shadith: Do the world a favor and forgo that action.
<MaerynGM> oops.. Ch'D gets an action first
Ch`Dith <OOCly> looks deeply hurt at Kasia
<N`Mor> <ooc> I vote that we all run.
Reed_S seconds that emotion.
<Kasia> Ch: HURRY IT UP, then.
Anya <OOC> thirds it.  And will even unlock rick...
Rick fourths it.
<Anya> <OOC> Although...can't Trent drive the APC?
Ch`Dith unslings his rifle and fires a plasma blast at the blue thing that hit 
him with half-a-blast.
Trent would, 'cept he's a bit busy. Bike not working, anyway.
Reed_S eyes the missile launchers on his hovercycle...
<Ch`Dith> 17
SteveM decides he needs a wav of all those knights screaming "GET ON WITH IT!!" 
from MP&tHG.
<Trent> Anya: Well, I can now.
<Ru`ach> Anya: no, we wont. But I agree.
<MaerynGM> Ch'Dith.. roll damage

Kasia yells back at Rick, "Shaddup, dead boy, or you'll find this thing's main 
gun shoved up your ass!"
SteveM needs a drink. And yes, I have seen TPM, and Matrix whips its ass for 
storytelling.
Vander <OOC> helps Steve
N`Mor <ooc> bahs.
Reed_S <ooc> bahs as well...
N`Mor ,ooc> didn't see The Matrix for no storytelling. ;)
<SteveM> DS: me neither, but it drew me in soon enough

<MaerynGM> Kas, Trent, Van, Reed, reptile, Anya, Steve, Ch'D, Ru, blue, N'Mor, 2 
robed guys, leader
Trent helps Ch`D out of principle.
Anya looks at the closet where Rick is locked in, yells, "No, you were gonna run 
over everybody, and I'm not attempting to get through that forceshield to get 
you out. *grumble* Gloopee nikulturne Coalition vnebrachnee!"
Rick wishes he had taken the blue pill right now.
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Why do I always go after Ch'D? Random luck?

Kasia mind bolts the blue guy.
<MaerynGM> ohyeah.. the short dude is between the blue dude and N'Mor

SteveM <OOCly> pulls out an ELF gun and a jet-powered sledgehammer and decides 
which to use on Meeth for violating the Matrix/TPM Ref Moratorium.

Rick bangs on the door. "Comeon guys. I'm closterphobic."
<Kasia> 5MD
<Reed_S> Rick: that's not part of yer charsheet...
Trent hands Steve an UberRifle, similar to his. Have fun.

SteveM decides on a good old fashioned spinfusor disk. *launch... BOOM*
Anya <OOC> likes knowing other languages, comes in handy in insulting somebody.
N`Mor slides from his truck mumbling things about insane humans.
<MaerynGM> Trent is up
<Rick> Reed: <OOC> I'm saying that to make them open the door.
<SteveM> Anya: <OOC> For instructive example, see Major League II.
Anya pointedly ignores Rick.
Trent bellows things, slashes at the idiotic lizard that charged into his 
chainsaw, with that same weapon.

Vander fires 6 of his 12 missiles at the two robed guys
<Trent> (forgot I'm on my back again, I did)
<MaerynGM> strike?
<Vander> 17
<MaerynGM> Trent.. it's such a nice place to be.. how can you forget?

<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Mae: That really shoulda been Ru's line.
<Vander> per missile?
<MaerynGM> Ch.. sorry
<MaerynGM> Van.. yeah
SteveM lights the jet-powered sledgehammer's engine and hauls off on Shadith for 
that line!
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> ow.
<Trent> Danke, Steve.
Vander forgets. whatDwhat for missiles?
Trent gets up and drops the chainsaw, pulling out his UberRifle at the same 
time.
<Reed_S> Van: what type missiles?
<Vander> Reed: Standard explosive
<Trent> Van: 5d6
<Vander> Trent: Thanx
<Reed_S> 2D4x10 MDC

<Reed_S> *ow*
<SteveM> Shadith: Damn skippy.
<Vander> "I'm a happy little ax murderer!"
<Vander> :)
<Trent> Bah, I've got my UberRifle out now.  >;]
Reed_S inserts the obligatory "That's Gotta Hurt" line here...
<MaerynGM> in the blink of an eye.. the missles are fired... 4 appear to melt 
about 5 feet from the short dudes... two explode.. again at about 5 feet.. no 
one is within range of the fizzled burst
<Trent> Neat trick.
<Ch`Dith> uh. oh.
<Vander> Whu...?! But...! That can'

Rick takes his servival knife and tries to jimmy the lock of the closet.
Reed_S fires a burst at the leader from his laser rifle

Trent ponders doing a short burst with this thing....>;]
<MaerynGM> the laser beam pools at about five feet and dissipates
<Reed_S> hrrm....
<Reed_S> . o O (What the...)
N`Mor glances between his rig, and the battle. The rig seems to be looking more 
favorful right now.
<Reed_S> . o O (Dragon, you reading my thoughts right now?)
Ch`Dith . o O (Not reading. But I do listen.)
Anya listens in, doesn't say much of anything.
<MaerynGM> the leader and two short dudes appear to waver for a sec.. only 
noticable to anone looking directly at them and not blinking
<Reed_S> . o O (Curiouser and curiouser, as the story goes.)
Ch`Dith . o O (What do you mean?)
Reed_S . o O (A mystery...)
<MaerynGM> the reptile is dead.. so...

SteveM takes a shot at the short dude that's been shooting the rune pistol with 
the Plow's main gun!

<SteveM> 90 MDC
Anya appears on the top of the APC, sees most of the things dead, frowns.  . o O 
( Huh...)
<Trent> Mmm...wouldn't say most.  Only 2 so far, right?
Anya really frowns over things that are still alive.
N`Mor <ooc> grins.
MaerynGM short dude takes 90 and turns his attention to Steve
<MaerynGM> 3 are dead
<SteveM> *breathed* "You have got to be kidding me!"
<Trent> Uhm...yeesh.  Durable little POS.
Ch`Dith fires a plasma blast at the guy who didthe twin bolts

<N`Mor> Trent: ye're one to talk. %)
<MaerynGM> that would be the blue critter.. he's still alive, but doesn't seem 
in good health
<MaerynGM> Ru is up
Ru`ach goes over to the closet where Rick is on her way out. Befuddle(spell)s 
him. 17 to strike (if needed). Saving throw for this is standard.
<Trent> N`Mor: I survive by *NOT* being hit.
<Trent> ...and having ludicrous amounts of armor.
<Ru`ach> Hee!
<Ru`ach> Rick: saving throw?
<MaerynGM> Rick.. roll to save
<Reed_S> roll a 12 or better
Ru`ach <OOC> listens to End of the Tour cue at a bad time. Ohwell. Good song 
anyhoo. ;)
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> looks like Meeth zoned out again.
<MaerynGM> Ru.. on yer way out to where?
Ch`Dith <OOCly> hears Javert's Suicide also cue at not a good time.
<Reed_S> yeah...
Anya <OOC> has 99 Red Balloons...also not a good song, necesarily. :)
<Ru`ach> Mae: out of the APC.
<MaerynGM> Ru.. roof.. side door.. ?
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> Anya: The english ver of that song *SUCKS*
<Ru`ach> Mae: side door.
<Anya> <OOC> I don't understand/have it in German, so...
<Reed_S> <OOC> Does it matter if Rick's conscious right now?
<MaerynGM> Reed.. nope
<MaerynGM> he's befuddled
<Anya> <OOC> would like to get it, though.
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> I'll mount the CD I have the MP3 on.
<MaerynGM> the blue dude coughs and sputters
<Anya> <OOC> Gracias.
<MaerynGM> the short dude fires an energy blast at Steve
Anya <OOC> watches "Send the Marines" cue up.
<MaerynGM> (Steve is still in a vehicle?)
<Trent> Mae: Ja.
<Reed_S> what kind of energy?
<N`Mor> <ooc> the energized kind?
<MaerynGM> the short dude aims for the guns mount on the vehicle
<Reed_S> big main gun, or the autocannon?
<MaerynGM> Reed.. umm... huh? what kind?
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> /mp3/cdrom/Nena_99_Luftballons.mp3 iffen ye want.
<Reed_S> well, the _Plow_ is laser-reflective
<Anya> <OOC> okay, heading after it.
<Reed_S> takes 1/2 damage from laser fire.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. ah.. 'k
<Trent> Shad: BTW, you said you wanted this Staying Alive mp3?
<Ch`Dith> yeah.
<Trent> DCC okay?
Reed_S eyes the time...
<Ch`Dith> FTP preferred.
<Reed_S> two hours for this minor combat?
<MaerynGM> the blast misses the gun, but hits the vehicle for 34mdc
<Trent> Err...actually, with my modem, I'll prolly be asleep before it's done.
<Ch`Dith> Reed: "Minor" ?
Vander <OOC> awakens with a gutteral snort. "Huh? Whu? Did I miss anything?"
<MaerynGM> it's almost over and it's not really minor
<SteveM> Mae: yeah
<Trent> Well whereto, then?
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> ftp://mp3:mp3@dwagon.sandwich.net/uploads/
Ru`ach <OOC> snores rather loudly.
N`Mor smells what the GM is cooking.
<SteveM> Mae: can I roll with the blast?
<MaerynGM> N'Mor is up
<Ch`Dith> -s
<N`Mor> No he isn't, Steve is still up.
<N`Mor> err
<N`Mor> the critter
<MaerynGM> N'Mor.. if you do it's only 'cos you've been listening to me
N`Mor mauls his typist
<MaerynGM> Steve.. in the vehicle?
<N`Mor> The vehicle is a mech
<N`Mor> ;)
<SteveM> Mae: wot DS said
<MaerynGM> ah.. if yer mech can roll.. go for it
<SteveM> 5 + 9
Anya <OOC> listens to prosvelista.mp3 cue up.
<MaerynGM> Reed.. does 14 roll with the blast?
<Ch`Dith> <OOC> /upload/ , not /uploads/ ... gomen.
Reed_S will bbiaf... if'n I'm not back by the time I'm up, fire another burst at 
the leader.
<Vander> <OOC> JUST DECLARE THE STUPID MELEE OVER AND GET ON WITH THE GAME!
Vander goes back to sleep
<MaerynGM> Steve rolls.. and takes less damage?
<MaerynGM> N'Mor is up
You are now known as Reed_AFK
Ru`ach <OOC> helps Van.
Kasia <OOC> helps Ru and Van
<SteveM> 34 becomes 17, yes
N`Mor sighs, chews his cud, and decides to be suicidal, firing his plasma cannon 
at the leader guy's noggin.
<MaerynGM> strike?
<N`Mor> 18 +3
<MaerynGM> damage?
<N`Mor> 17
Kasia has 20 minutes left on line.
<Ru`ach> <OOC> Kas: we usually end at 11 anyhoo.
<MaerynGM> the plasma drains away about 5 feet from the leader.. if yer looking 
his way.. one of the short dudes appears startled
<Kasia> <OOC> Yeah. Well, I don't really have a choice.
Anya <OOC> props her gun by one of the turrets, pulls out a book and reads.
<Kasia> <OOC> And if we don't get the melee over with...
<Vander> <OOC> How long has this fight been going on now?
<MaerynGM> the short dudes still appear to do nothing
<Anya> almost four hours?
<SteveM> <OOC> <set voice=Delenn> "End this." </voice>
Kasia <OOC> wanders off the stage, across the lighting booth, and into the 
Plow's set. "Hey, Steve. Anything happening over here?"
<Ru`ach> <OOC> What he said.
<MaerynGM> anyone looking at the leader sees an extremely menacing expression 
come over him
<N`Mor> "Ummm... shit."
<SteveM> <OOC><SDSteve> "Not much, darlin', just amazed that someone actually 
damaged the Plow on camera."
Ru`ach <OOC> wanders backstage. Hits the curtain button.
<MaerynGM> anyone with sixth sense feels fireworks going off in there senses
<Vander> Mae: Please tell me he decided to jetison his warp core and die.
Ch`Dith . o O (We have a problem)
<MaerynGM> Van.. enh.. he doesn't die
<SteveM> . o O (No shit, Ch'Dith
<SteveM> . o O (No shit, Ch'Dith!)
<Trent> . o O (I'll see what I can do) *aims UberRifle*
SteveM does evil things to his enter key
<Kasia> <OOC> "Sheesh. I'm figuring I'm going to start acting like those people 
in _Airplane_ - the ones who suicided from boredom."
<MaerynGM> the leader yells a word none of you have ever heard
<N`Mor> "Damn damn damn damn damn damn damn. Why'd I do that?"
Vander guns his engine and makes to do an Evil Kneivel off the guy's face
SteveM primes his superjump
Kasia <BIC> wonders what the hll is going on
<Rick> ga2go cya
Rick [~K75bhsh@bngr216-37-173ppp96.epix.net] has quit IRC (ga2fo)
<Anya> . o O ( We hear you, Apollo 13. *string of russian curses* )
Ch`Dith seriously considers teleporting the hell out of dodge
<Vander> Later Meeth
<Trent> Kasia: Someting bad, wethinks.
<MaerynGM> everyone here feels a massive energy explosion
<Vander> Ooooooooooh! Tingley!
<SteveM> <OOC><SDSteve> "Come now... if you're that bored, I know of something 
we might do.."
<Trent> Uhm...fuck?
<MaerynGM> any actions are thought of much too late to react on
Ch`Dith tries to teleport... 79, fails.
<SteveM> "Ohhhhhh sshhhhhiiiiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!!"
Ch`Dith . o O (Oohsh-*)
Anya hangs on to the top of a turret.
<N`Mor> Tune in next week, same bat-time, same bat-channel?
<MaerynGM> reality as you all know it wavers in yer minds
Trent was going to shoot something. Too late now.
You are now known as Reed_S
<Trent> I know reality?
SteveM <OOCly> sneaks into the sound room and puts on "Twilight Zone" by Golden 
Earring
<N`Mor> "Gnnnnnn.... noooooottttt agaaaaaaaaainnnn............."
<Kasia> "What - the - fuck?!"
<MaerynGM> yer all knocked unconscious by the blast and will find out more next 
week ;)
<SteveM> As everything went blue (again)...
<Anya> "Nyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyet!"
<Reed_S> "Oh, shit."
<Reed_S> *pass out*
<Kasia> .. okay, that was fun.
<Trent> *quietly* "Ah, hell."
<Ru`ach> Mae: everyone, or 6th sense people? *brainlag*
<SteveM> <OOC> o/~ Now I'm slipping into the Twilight Zone... o/~
<N`Mor> Trent: *thud*? :)
<Ch`Dith> Ru: immaterial now anyway
<Vander> <voice src="Rod Serling"> "You have just entered the Twliligh..." 
</voice> *BANG* <voice src="Alfred Hitchcock"> "Cold blooded murder." <voice>
<MaerynGM> so.. this is a minor scirmish? 
<Kasia> Can we *please* assume that the shock was too great for Rick and have 
him die en route? Pleaseohpleaseohplease?
<Reed_S> Mae: took friggin' forever...
Ch`Dith echoes Kas
<SteveM> Mae: Naw, this was a major....
<MaerynGM> Ru.. 6th sensers felt the fireworks warning bells.. everyone felt 
everything else
<Kasia> Mae: It *should* _not_ have taken Four hours to rp.
Anya shrugs, was dicussing "tea" with Ru half the time.  What do I care?
<Ru`ach> "Lechu lehizdayen." *passouts*
SteveM @glares at Ch'Dith and Kasia. "Nah, we just need a competent RPer playing 
him."
<Reed_S> Kas: Meeth's playing of Rick was totally OOC compared to how Rick first 
showed...
<MaerynGM> RIck may have been spared to to being force shielded in the closet
<MaerynGM> dunno yet
<Reed_S> I move to leave Rick an NPC.
<Kasia> Enh, okay.
<Anya> *kerplop across top of APC*
<Anya> I second Ars' motion.
<Kasia> *Agreed*, Ars.
Ch`Dith seconds Ars
Ru`ach thirds
Vander does wheelies through non-reality
<MaerynGM> Kas.. sorry it took so long.. this is where it was meant to end 
tonight :)
SteveM @bandwagons Ars
Trent idly hopes that his bike came along.
Reed_S helps...
<Kasia> Mae: Well, good timing. But it was *boring.*
Vander helps Kasia
Reed_S agrees...
Anya hopes APC came along.  Otherwise I'm falling 14 feet...not fun.
Ch`Dith is more concerned about everyone's sanity coming along.
SteveM spent more time watching Oscar De La Hoya and reading _Sharpe's Siege_ 
than actually RPing
N`Mor giggles
<Vander> Ch'D: What's sanity?
<Reed_S> hrrm...
Trent ain't concerned about his...uh...what was that word? ;)
<Reed_S> Reed *should* roll for insanity next session...
<Ch`Dith> KatAnya: I'm dropping umpityhundred-odd feet unconsciously. You're 
worried?
<MaerynGM> enh.. don't wanna spoil the surprise.. but vehicles don't make it.. 
not sure about Steve's seeing as how he's still in it
<Reed_S> *ugh*
<Vander> Mae: WHAT?!
<Anya> Shadith: You're a dragon, I'm a person. %)
<SteveM> Mae: NANI???
<Vander> I *NEED* my Hog!
<Anya> Kas was still inside the APC as well...
Trent saw that coming.
N`Mor points and laughs at the technogeeks. :)
Ch`Dith has no vehicle to lose.
<MaerynGM> enh.. stuff will prolly be limited to what you were carrying
Reed_S can make it w/out the bike, tho.
Trent still has the vehicle on his back, thankfully.
<SteveM> Mae: wot if stuff was left in the care of another person?
Kasia was in the APC - and *all* her stuff was in the truck.
Anya is gonna grumble, her journal was in her backpack downstairs. :P
<Vander> Mae: Problem. My Hog has a fully enclosing canopy over the driver. I'm 
basically inside a two-wheeled tank
<MaerynGM> meaning whatever armor you were wearing.. and whatever weapons you 
were using or that were in yer pockets
Reed_S is w/out bike... I can do that..
<SteveM> We WILL get our stuff back soon, I trust. <set voice=Cheesed-Off 
Protoss Carrier Commander> "This is not an idle threat." </voice>
Trent is probably carrying enough weaponry for several people right now.
<MaerynGM> Van.. hmmm... will have to think about you and Steve
Anya points out once again that Kas was in the APC...
<MaerynGM> if stuff was left in care of others and they are trustworthy.. it 
will prolly be there if you get back
<SteveM> as in other PCs
<Vander> Reed: I'm gonna need the updated version of my charsheet from you. Mine 
looks a bit out of date
<MaerynGM> stuff left lying around in the aftermath... enh
<Reed_S> oh?
<Vander> Reed: Yah. 
<MaerynGM> Kas was still in the APC?
Trent si a bit glad he still has his gear...chainsaw's on a sling.
<Anya> Yes.
<Ru`ach> Mae: yes.
<Kasia> Mae: Yes.
<Ch`Dith> Mae: Yes. </echo>
<Kasia> So was Rick...
<Reed_S> hrrm...
N`Mor snickers s'more at the technogeeks. You and your arsenals large enough to 
wipe out a third world nation. ;)
<Reed_S> what was the general consensus of how Kei did tonight?
<Kasia> Reed: She did okay, except for handling the fight... and... uh... we 
only faught.
<Ch`Dith> The fight was a tad over dragged-out.... although compared to the 
first time I tried to DM a bigass fight she did pretty well. 
<Trent> Took a while...that'll get better with practice, methinks.  'least, it 
did for you Ars.
<Vander> Reed: Not to be cruel, but quite honestly, well, if I'd have to say, 
that is, you know, she kinda, ...
<Kasia> The fight could and should have gone a lot faster.
<Anya> NM: I could care less about the arsenal...the scholar's got one thing 
that's not tech related that she wants. :)
<SteveM> and those not immediately in the fight were left twidding their thumbs
<N`Mor> hey, it's Trent's fault the fight happened ;)
<Vander> I have to give her a definite thumb and a half down
N`Mor ducks.
<Anya> Yeah.  Exactly.  Unless they (like those of us discussing "tea" in the 
APC) took matters into they're own hands.
Ch`Dith got so mired up in all the rules he forgot to memorize and didn't write 
down shorthand that every round took ages and the action basically went out of 
it.
<Kasia> It was *boring*.
Ru`ach takes N'Mor to pieces just like she did to that fetal pig. Hey, Kas! 
Zabilski was right about dissecting live ones! %)
<Kasia> I feel like my char hasn't done anything for at least Four sessions.
Anya tosses the main book into the sourcebook box.
<Reed_S> hrrm...
<N`Mor> Kei: just make a note that most of us prefer roleplay over combat ;)
SteveM points upwards... "LIS, I spent more time reading Sharpe and watching De 
La Hoya than doing stuffle."
Trent shrugs, calls a bar into existence and starts serving drinks.
<Anya> I did stuffle...Ru and I so kindly were discussing "tea" as Vander put 
it. :)
Vander spent more time drawing Ping Pong People cartoons
Kasia grabs a Mai Tai and sits on Steve's lap to continue the convo.
<Reed_S> I'll have a Three Wise Men, followed by a Four Horsemen.
<SteveM> Kas: not true... you finally got that romance deal going between Steve 
and Kasia
Ch`Dith orders something without a percentile on the alcoholic content label
<Kasia> Steve: Yeah, a little.
<Reed_S> after this, I think I need it...
MaerynGM notes in her defense that this session was planned this way.. didn't 
mean to leave out those that didn't get into the fight sooner
Ru`ach ordersa *big* vodka. And something for Anya. %)
SteveM orders a boilermaker... he is that cheesed to order one.
<Anya> Deyete menye vodkoo!
Kasia is now known as Merquoni
<Merquoni> Ow,
<Merquoni> .
<MaerynGM> and this is prolly the only major battle of my adventure
You are now known as Arsenal
Merquoni is now known as Kasia
Vander is now known as UpLink
Ru`ach is now known as WhtStar2
Ch`Dith is now known as Shadur
Anya is now known as katster
<Kasia> Wrong key.
<Arsenal> Mae: so, explain to me what just happened?
Kasia hands kat some vodka
Trent gets to work, rather thankful for the enhanced speed and whatnot.
Trent is now known as KillJoy
<MaerynGM> the rest is role play.. just had to get ya'll together and into the 
world I know 
Kasia is now known as Aris_TGD
<katster> Yeah, can you explain wha'happen?
<Aris_TGD> Yeah. I was *lost* for most of the battle.
<Arsenal> same here...
<N`Mor> now now, no spoilers
<N`Mor> ;)
WhtStar2 helps Aris.
katster listens to her character whine and complain in her head a bit more.
<UpLink> kat: She hourked us into Phaseworld
<Shadur> We got set up and teleported outta the world?
<KillJoy> *blink* She didn't.
<N`Mor> What happened? Trent picked the wrong fight. %)
Arsenal is placing bets on the Palladium world
katster is placing bets on something NPR.
Aris_TGD isn't placing bets.
<Arsenal> NPR?
<MaerynGM> 'k.. basically.. ya'll came across an alien raiding party.. very high 
level and nasty leader
KillJoy ain't placing bets either.
WhtStar2 reads a Wicca book. Like she should've been doing all evening.
<katster> (that's Not Palladium Related, for those who don't follow the mailing 
list.) :)
<UpLink> Ars: If we're in the Palladium world, all Vander needs is a forge and 
some time, and we'll have 500lbs bombs >:)
<Arsenal> Ah
<Arsenal> heh
<MaerynGM> we're still in the rifts universe
<Arsenal> universe or Megaverse?
<Shadur> Oh. goodie.
<Arsenal> hrrm...
SteveM decides to bet on NOT being in the StarCraft era.
<MaerynGM> megaverse :)
SteveM is now known as J-Rock
katster hmmms.
<Arsenal> could be any of the game systems...
Aris_TGD goeth to sleep.
<MaerynGM> Steve.. don't bet too much 
<UpLink> Later Aris
<UpLink> Later folx
<KillJoy> cya, Aris
<J-Rock> Now if we ended up in Heroes Unlimited or Nightbane or Beyond The 
Supernatural, I'm gonna shit.
WhtStar2 has about 10 sec. Then it's sleep for me, too.
<Arsenal> PFRPG, Nightbane, Heroes Unlimited...
<J-Rock> nites Aris
<Arsenal> cya, Aris
<MaerynGM> on.. not megaverse then
UpLink [UpLink@pm3std2-45.uplink.net] has quit IRC (Everything's bio-degradible.

(Specialization is for insects. -- RAH)
<KillJoy> cya, WS2
<MaerynGM> we're still in rifts books
katster listens to Anya complain a bit more in her head, grumbles.
<J-Rock> en taro adun, WSni
<Arsenal> Wormwood...
katster smiles, thinks she knows.
<J-Rock> Mae: Seconded....
<Arsenal> Phaseworld...
<katster> England.
WhtStar2 yells at her mom that we're still going. Has 10 min now.
<J-Rock> s/Mae/Ars/
<MaerynGM> JR... what's seconded?
<J-Rock> Either Wormwood or Phaseworld... I was seconding Ars's call of Wormwood
KillJoy finishes uploading Staying Alive
<Arsenal> what's the third Dimension Book?
<katster> Phaseworld SOurce.
<Arsenal> hrrm...
<Shadur> Heroes Unlimited would suck. people like that always assume the worst 
of black dragons for some silly reason like most dark-colored dragons being evil 
and doing tons of property damage before eating people.
<J-Rock> Skraypers?
<KillJoy> Phaseworld Sourcebook
<katster> then Scraypers.
WhtStar2 mocks Fanboys/girls.
Shadur wonders... wasn't return of the Mechanoids #4?
<KillJoy> WS2: Ich?
katster is a Rifts fangirl.  Admits it.
<katster> Shad: Nope.
<WhtStar2> KJ: du.
MaerynGM notes ya'll will prolly not get enough of a glimpse of the world to 
know by the end of next session either ;)
<katster> Mechanoids was Sourcebook #2, and it's own book.
<J-Rock> kats: That was... well, wot you said
<katster> ...why do I know this?
<Arsenal> Mae: try us. :)
<MaerynGM> enh.. I won't spoil it for ya
N`Mor [darkside@cz-cblk-150-16-136.cyberzone.net] has quit IRC (*fwip*)
Arsenal ponders killing off Reed inm favor of Gronk...
<Arsenal> -m
<Shadur> Mae: there are people who could tell you which sourcebook you're using 
by naming the first three words on the intro page
<J-Rock> E-blasts merely dissipating suggests, no, STRONGLY suggests Wormwood
KillJoy ponders Phaseworld. More specificially, ponders stealing a starfighter.
<MaerynGM> next session will prolly be recuperation and role play
<katster> KJ: Well, stealing the APC did us what kind of good?
<KillJoy> Enh, point.
<MaerynGM> third session should satisfy techies and role players :)
<Arsenal> kats: we got a mobile base. :)
<J-Rock> Given this sesh, precisely... *drumroll*... dick.
<katster> Ars: And how much good did this do us? :)
<MaerynGM> kats.. well.. it was a nice inheritance to leave Rick ;)
<Arsenal> Mae: don't plan sessions too far ahead.
<KillJoy> Err..I just had a very bad thought.  Wherever we're going, I'm 
probably not going to be able to get more Juicer chemicals.
<J-Rock> KJ: You don't need to get them. Your body was modified to produce them 
on its own
<MaerynGM> KJ.. yeah you will
<KillJoy> JR: In theory, at least.
<Arsenal> Phaseworld...
<WhtStar2> JR: not all of them.
<KillJoy> Mae: Oh good, I can continue slowly poisoning myself to death!  =D
<Arsenal> after hearing that, I'd put solid money on Phaseworld.
katster hasn't read the dimension books yet. :P  Will have to peruse them.
<Arsenal> KJ: *chuckle*
<katster> Ars: There's always elsewhere in the Americas.
<Arsenal> South America?  possibly.
<Arsenal> or Germany
<katster> *nod*
<Arsenal> or Japan.
<KillJoy> Africa, mebbe?
<KillJoy> *shrug*
<katster> Or even North America.  It's a pretty big continent.
<katster> KJ: I'm not really fond of Africa, for some reason.
WhtStar2 ponders a CaleEncounter. Shudders/
<WhtStar2> .
<Arsenal> nah... Africa's not too hot on *human* augmentation..
<MaerynGM> wonder if Mae went with you guys... or if you'll have to find another 
way home 
<J-Rock> KJ: if she sent us to Africa, she probably would have let us have the 
arsenal!
<katster> Anybody read Australia, could we go there?
Shadur ponders whacking his skull in and getting a couple hors sleep.
<katster> JR: Or she's sadistic.
<J-Rock> kats: neg, but I heard it sucks rox
<Arsenal> she's sadistic...
<Shadur> Katya: I *REALLY* wish you hadn't said that.
<katster> Shad: She's stranding us who-knows-where with literally the clothes on 
our back.  I think that's the best word for the situation.
<J-Rock> kats: HELL YEAH
<MaerynGM> kats.. it could be worse :)
Shadur *WILL* kill the first person who follows that up with "How could it 
possibly be worse?"
<Arsenal> it could be...
KillJoy is thankful that 'the clothes on his back" includes most of what he owns
<Shadur> Ah, we have a volunteer! 
<Arsenal> KJ: same here...
Shadur mauls Ars.
<MaerynGM> Shad.. enh.. 
<katster> KJ: I've got a character moaning in the background about something. :P
<Arsenal> Shad: I did not say "how could it possibly be worse?"
WhtStar2 should go. Piano recital tomorrow morning, and I want to squeeze some 
practice in, too.
<Arsenal> I said "it *could* be worse"
<MaerynGM> it's not too bad... but I won't spoil it for ya :)
<KillJoy> cya, WS2
<MaerynGM> ok.. so it prolly gets worse from yer point of view.. :P
<Shadur> Six or half a dozen. 
<Arsenal> we could be stranded with *no* clothes
KillJoy goes too.
<MaerynGM> Ars.. I haven't made a decision on that yet.. shall we vote? ;)
<KillJoy> Ars: Don't give her ideas.
<katster> It's either retroactively moving it onto my person (which would have 
been stupid) or have it come through (it's not going to.) :P  Watch character 
whine.

<Shadur> .. not that I'm wearing clothes normally.
<MaerynGM> Shad.. to make it fair... you could end up minus a few scales? ;)
<Shadur> I'm molting soon anyhoo. 
Shadur hears Flying Dutchman cue... neat.
<J-Rock> why do I get the feeling I'm about to PTO?
<Shadur> because everyone just fell silent?
katster moos.
<Shadur> ... although you *are* pinging out.
<J-Rock> I see
