Start of #Exalted buffer: Thu Sep 14 19:31:14 2006 [17:25:31] * When last we left the group, they were in Maya's cell, getting ready to free her, as a pair of creatures, sewn together with rough sutures, shaped like dogs, with features and limbs like bats. An odd, burning, acrid smell fills the cell, as Maya pushes herself further into the corner [17:25:33] * And, go [17:25:59] * Hisame yelps and backs away from those things. [17:27:51] (*blink* I forgot we ran without me) [17:28:14] Holy crap! What are those?! [17:28:18] I'll upload the log. [17:28:21] ( Er, ) [17:28:24] ( IN parentheses ) [17:31:41] * The creatures circle you, moaning lowly and they walk. [17:32:16] * Karen_C stares in horror. "I...I don't know." [17:32:25] ( Page updated ) [17:33:00] They can see through... [17:34:41] Matt, can you carry Maya? [17:34:51] Hopefully they can't get through this. [17:35:02] I.. maybe.. [17:35:42] * Karen_C closes her eyes. The air seems to ripple slightly in a small sphere around the group. [17:36:51] * Hisame is encouraged a little by this. She perks up. [17:37:18] * The creatures look at the group, and one of them breaks off from the circling, leaping at a corner. It passes easily through, and the stench diminishes. The other sits back against the wall and watches [17:37:56] * Karen_C opens her eyes. "I hope that keeps them away..." [17:40:12] * Matt_Wright hauls Maya onto his shoulder. [17:40:17] I do not think they are going to go away on their own... [17:40:44] We need to... maybe ... I do not know. [17:41:35] I.. I'm not punching those things... they look like they'd take my arm off halfway to my elbow if I tried. [17:42:41] * Hisame bites her lip a bit. THen she opens her mouth, and starts to breathe in... [17:44:02] * Hisame lowers her head and exhales forcefully. A small, but dense-looking cluster of fire flies out, at the fleshhound. [17:44:24] 2d8 [17:44:25] * Dicething rolls for Hisame (2d8) and gets 8. [17:44:28] ( Made by 1 ) [17:45:43] 2d8 [17:45:44] * Dicething rolls for Charles (2d8) and gets 12. [17:46:44] * The creature tries to recoil, but is caught in the flames. It screams and rolls on the ground, and the acrid smell intensifies as the creature burns [17:47:36] W-wow... [17:47:59] Didn't know your breath was that powerful yet [17:49:52] ( Can she do it a second time, or does someone else take an action? ) [17:50:09] (Combat's started at this point, so roll init) [17:50:24] d8+9 [17:50:24] * Dicething rolls for Hisame (d8+9) and gets 16. [17:50:26] (What's that again? 2d8 + ACV?) [17:50:37] ( yeah ) [17:50:41] ( Er, 1d8 [17:50:41] d8+9 [17:50:42] * Dicething rolls for Karen_C (d8+9) and gets 11. [17:50:45] 2d8+5 [17:50:45] * Dicething rolls for Matt_Wright (2d8+5) and gets 19. [17:50:56] d8+5 [17:50:56] * Dicething rolls for Matt_Wright (d8+5) and gets 12. [17:50:58] d8+9 [17:50:58] * Dicething rolls for Charles (d8+9) and gets 12. [17:51:19] * Hisame, Matt, Creature, Karen [17:53:00] (there is a 'cute pokemon girls' thread on 4chan. So tempted to post some Red Chocobo stuff.) [17:53:02] * Hisame exhales another small and tightly packed ball of flame at the remaining creature [17:53:05] 2d8 [17:53:06] * Dicething rolls for Hisame (2d8) and gets 10. [17:53:09] ( WHat board? ) [17:53:11] ( Miss ) [17:53:21] ( /c ) [17:54:06] * The flame gutters out before it reaches the creature [17:54:59] * Hisame backs up a bit. [17:55:57] * Matt_Wright adjusts Maya on his shoulder so he can hold her more easily. "Karen, can you keep this field up while we move? I have a hunch these things will back off if we get back outside the ward." [17:56:08] (Thats my turn) [17:56:34] * Karen_C grimaces. "Unfortunately, no." [17:58:04] * The creature moans and crouches, then leaps at the force feild, trying to force its way through [17:58:06] 2d8 [17:58:06] * Dicething rolls for Charles (2d8) and gets 5. [17:58:44] * It bounces off the field, rolls on the floor, and gets back to its feet, shaking. [17:59:28] Well.. at least we'll have time to think of something... * Retrieving #Exalted modes... [18:02:07] ( KAren's turn? ) [18:02:39] (Yeah) [18:03:07] * Karen_C points a hand at the remaining creature. The air ripples slightly again. [18:03:14] 2d8 [18:03:14] * Dicething rolls for Karen_C (2d8) and gets 7. [18:03:20] (by 2) [18:04:17] 2d8 [18:04:17] * Dicething rolls for Charles (2d8) and gets 13. [18:04:23] d8 [18:04:24] * Dicething rolls for Charles (d8) and gets 7. [18:05:18] * The creature is knocked back, rolling towards a corner. Instead of stopping, it rolls through, screaming [18:07:10] ( THrough the corner? ) [18:07:15] * Karen_C blinks. "Well, I guess I should have seen that coming." [18:07:39] (Yeah. It passed through the corner as it rolled.) [18:07:41] * Hisame looks around nervously, afraid of where it might come through next ) [18:07:53] We should run to the ladder at set up a new shield. [18:08:28] * Karen_C nods. "Let's get out of here before they come back from...wherever." [18:08:37] * Hisame nods and starts moving. [18:08:53] * Matt_Wright makes his way to the ladder as swiftly as possible while carrying Maya. [18:08:56] * Hisame returns to focusing on the stealth field. [18:09:49] * Karen_C drops the shield, following behind Matt and Hisame while watching for the dog-things. [18:11:28] Karen! Can you extend the shield all the way to the upper floor? [18:11:56] (How far up does the ladder go?) [18:12:21] ( THis whole place is pretty much half-flooded, right? ) [18:14:37] (About 30 feet, and yeah, respectively) [18:15:15] * Karen_C looks up. "I don't think so." [18:16:12] ( Can the shield be used to say, hold water so we don't leave a large and obvious trail of footprints? ) [18:17:21] (I think Yon knows how it works better than me) [18:17:56] * Hisame continues moving. [18:18:11] (I have no idea how you would expect that to work.) [18:18:55] ( I dunno. It's a field. So it keeps stuff apart. I guess. Or something. ?_? ) [18:20:12] Crap... Alright.. just make it cover as much as you can [18:21:26] ...you realize I'll have to stay behind then. [18:23:05] ( Maybe Matt can carry Karen. :V ) [18:24:00] Just _climb_. [18:24:10] I do not think she can hold a field and move at the same time. [18:26:55] ( I'm confused. What's the holdup now? ) [18:28:04] I'm not sure how fast I can climb a ladder while carrying Maya! [18:28:21] Whatever, fine, just cover my back. [18:28:26] * Hisame follows. [18:29:36] * Matt_Wright starts awkwardly climbing up, having to balance himself with ever step and grab of the next highest rung, and twisting his body around to hold Maya. [18:29:54] * Hisame walks along with Karen... (?) [18:30:24] (I assumed we got to the ladder already, since she was insisting that I climb.) [18:34:48] * Hisame follows and watches Karen uneasily. She holds out her hand and a small flame hovers in the air to help dry off. [18:35:43] 2d8 [18:35:43] * Dicething rolls for Matt_Wright (2d8) and gets 11. [18:36:36] ( What's Matt rolling for? ) [18:39:37] * One of the creatures falls from the ceiling and impacts with Matt, knocking him and Maya off the ladder. He falls and hits the water with an audible crack, and remains invisible below the surface, briefly, along with Maya. What gets up is difficult to perceive. [18:40:11] * Hisame lets out a small scream. [18:40:22] * Karen_C grits her teeth and starts climbing back down. [18:40:27] ( ANother round of inits? ) [18:42:13] * It looks like a storm in the horizon and neverending darkness, and smells like blood and rot and seawater. When it speaks, it sounds like basalt towers and breaking waves and roaring flame. It's holding what remains of the creature, torn in two. And then it's gone, and Matt is there, bleeding, and standing awkwardly, but there again. [18:42:48] Matt? [18:43:00] * Hisame isn't sure what's going on. o_o [18:43:31] * Karen_C stares. "What...what was that?" [18:46:09] * Hisame goes down to help Matt up. And Maya. [18:47:06] ... [18:47:10] Wh.. [18:47:35] * Matt_Wright shakes his head. [18:49:25] C-crap, Maya.. [18:49:56] Can you still carry her? [18:50:00] Can you walk on your own? [18:51:48] I.. I think.. yeah.. [18:51:54] * Matt_Wright tries to steady himself. [18:51:57] To both? [18:52:58] H-hold on.. [18:55:00] I need to go to the nurse.. [18:55:10] ( I've got less than an hour. x.x ) [18:55:38] ( And how bad are his injuries? ) [18:55:58] (He'll pull through, but he could really use the help of a trained medical person [18:56:28] ( Hm. We'll need to figure out an explanation for what happened, too. ) [18:56:34] (Yes) [18:56:39] We need to move.. now. [18:56:44] * Hisame is moving. [18:56:50] ( Where is Karen? ) [18:56:54] The.. the last time, I drew a lot of attention to myself.. [18:57:54] (I was climbing down.) [18:58:54] What will we say to the nurse... ? [18:59:21] I...can you carry her? If I get to the top, I might be able to float her up. [19:02:34] I.. think so.. [19:03:15] (What are your body scores? You're asking an injured Body 4 guy to carry her up a ladder. >:( Just cause he's a guy.) [19:03:47] ( HP has no effect on strenght. :q: ) [19:04:09] (Body incorporates a characters strength.) [19:04:18] (Same way Mind incorporates perception) [19:04:29] ( Bah ) [19:04:33] * Hisame goes to help carry him up [19:04:44] ( And to get things moving. ) [19:04:52] Thanks.. [19:05:14] ( Body 3. Karen's a scrawny nerd. :P ) [19:05:45] * Matt_Wright helps as much as he can, still bleeding from wounds and aching from the fall. He definately looks like he could use a band-aid. [19:06:08] ( Body 3. Hisame's still young ) [19:07:06] (*grumbles* Fine, but I still think you should help him. :P) [19:07:41] ( We ARE. ) [19:08:07] (I know.) [19:13:04] (...Awesome! Goesfast has six seasons of Trailer Park Boys up for download. I've heard a lot about this series from the writing department chair) [19:13:38] (Alright so.. we get to the top of the elevator?) [19:13:44] (er, ladder.) [19:13:52] Go to the nurse's office... and try to think of something to tell them. I suppose Karen and I will get Maya out... [19:13:54] * You get to the top of the ladder, with some effort. [19:15:51] R-right.. [19:16:32] * Matt_Wright heads off, obviously favoring one leg over the other, apparently having hurt one in the fall. [19:18:11] * Hisame moves on to try to get Maya out.
