[18:55] <&Hebizuka> *Welcome back to the Mazes, Tasia. You have visited 380 rooms, next special at the 385th (Hub ; multiple special rooms). Current status: Healthy, no outstanding problems to report. All four Amulets available - you may summon your way out any time. Ally statuses: Telma (Healthy), Lauren (Healthy). !mrooms3 to move on.* [18:55] <Tasia> !mrooms3 [18:55] <&Hebizuka> [ Tasia ] Left door: 492 - Front door: 353 - Right door: 5733 - Roomstyle: 363 [18:55] * Tasia takes the front door to get things started. [18:56] <&Hebizuka> *You and your team go down a flight of stairs, before reaching a regular, featureless room. Not much of not here aside from some food on the ground.* [18:57] * Tasia picks up the food and takes a look. [18:57] <&Hebizuka> [Food] Beverage - Can of lemonade. 90kcal [18:58] <~Tempest> [Telma] Hey, mind if I keep that? [18:59] <Tasia> "Go for it!" [18:59] <Tasia> "I've probably got enough for myself, anyway." [18:59] <Tasia> !mrooms3 [18:59] <&Hebizuka> [ Tasia ] Left door: 3696 - Front door: 6205 - Right door: 3810 - Roomstyle: 306 [18:59] <Tasia> Right door [19:00] <&Hebizuka> *Your ally plonks the soda can in her bag, before moving forwards.* [19:00] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren is humming the air of a known tune.* [19:01] <&Hebizuka> *Another regular, featureless room. Not much of note here either, except for an odd item...* [19:02] <Tasia> And that odd item is....? [19:02] <&Hebizuka> [Item] A giant drill bit. Made of a metal called high speed steel, and coated in titanium nitride. [19:03] <Tasia> "Interesting." [19:03] * Tasia puts it in her pack, it might be usable. [19:03] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Makes me think of those big-ass industrial drills! [19:04] <~Tempest> [Lauren] There was this rumor of making drill-armed drones, but I hear it was canceled. Bet these things woulda been amazing in the mining community. [19:04] <Tasia> "That's my guess as to what it is." [19:04] <Tasia> "Hmmm! Yeah, now that would be kinda neat..." [19:04] <Tasia> !mrooms3 [19:04] <&Hebizuka> [ Tasia ] Left door: 5198 - Front door: 3793 - Right door: 6118 - Roomstyle: 64 [19:04] <Tasia> Left [19:04] <&Hebizuka> [Pack/main] 105.82/115 [19:05] <&Hebizuka> *A sensation of strength has passed.* [19:06] <&Hebizuka> *More downwards stairs. You end up in an armory, with weapon lockers, various weapon-related ads and posters, and a weapon - not in the locker, but on the floor. The lockers seem all empty of weapons, though you spot an ammo box in there.* [19:08] * Tasia makes a gander at both weapon and ammo. [19:08] <&Hebizuka> [Ammunition] Box of 12 gauge, less-lethal rubber buckshot, 10 rounds - [1/10] - Weight: 0.05 [19:08] <&Hebizuka> [Weapon] Class 5 Short: Pocket knife - Sharp/Piercing - Butchering. Weight: 3 [19:08] <~Tempest> [Lauren] A single shotgun shell and a knife. Strangely, I've had worse before! [19:10] * Tasia hands the shotshell to Lauren and leaves the pocketknife - unless anyone else wants it. [19:10] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren happily nabs the shell, adding it to her collection.* [19:10] <Tasia> "I can't say that this is the most well-stocked armory I've been in." [19:10] <~Tempest> [Lauren] No kiddin' [19:10] <Tasia> !mrooms3 [19:10] <&Hebizuka> [ Tasia ] Left door: 4930 - Front door: 3463 - Right door: 6821 - Roomstyle: 559 [19:10] <Tasia> Lef~ [19:10] <Tasia> t* [19:13] <&Hebizuka> *You barge into yet another regular, and featureless room. Only one door ahead (!mrooms1). There's more ammo on the floor...* [19:13] * Tasia peeks... is it useful ammo? [19:14] <&Hebizuka> [Ammunition] Box of 12 gauge, less-lethal rubber buckshot, 10 rounds - [1/10] - Weight: 0.05 [19:14] <Tasia> ...Ah, [19:14] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren snickers.* [19:14] <Tasia> "Hey, it's something!" [19:14] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Sometimes I get the feeling destiny's having a laugh with us. [19:14] <&Hebizuka> *The merc nabs the shell, again.* [19:15] <Tasia> !mrooms1 [19:15] <&Hebizuka> [ Tasia ] Unique door: 6590 - Roomstyle: 282 [19:15] <Tasia> "Only one door... are you all ready?" [19:15] <~Tempest> [Lauren] I'm paid to be ready! [19:15] <~Tempest> [Telma] As ever. [19:16] <Tasia> "Ok. I'll top off my magazines." [19:16] <&Hebizuka> *Which weapons do you wish to reload?* [19:16] * Tasia loads 11 AP rounds into the SCAR, and 12 Seg rounds into the Bizon. [19:18] <&Hebizuka> *Telma seems to be fine and decides not to do anything.* [19:18] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren quickly checks her mags, and decides she's good enough as well.* [19:18] <&Hebizuka> *Reloading process takes 9 turns...* [19:18] * Tasia goes forward! [19:19] <&Hebizuka> *Hub room ; Teleporting keypad to the left, Weapon shop to the right. Which way?* [19:20] * Tasia breathes a sigh of relief. "I was expecting some kind of figh, there.... hey, let's see if there's more shotshells and stuff for sale!" [19:20] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Aw heck yea. More gear! [19:20] <Tasia> Weapon shop it is, then [19:20] <&Hebizuka> *You make it into a regular, featureless room where a weapon shop set up. The shopkeeper isn't busy with any other clients at the moment.* [19:21] <Tasia> "Good afternoon! Or morning, midnight, whatever it is... I have no idea. Anyway, we'd like to take a look at your wares!" [19:22] <~Tempest> [Shopkeep] It's the afternoon right now. Late afternoon, in fact. As for my wares, coming right up!

I've seen those in action and am impressed." [19:25] <~Tempest> [Shopkeep] Well, good news and bad news. Good news is, I do have shells for sale and I do have flechette. Bad news is, I have one box of flechette left, and flechette boxes contain 5 shells, as I'm sure you know. Still interested? [19:26] <Tasia> "Sure, if you can make it up with buckshot." [19:26] <Tasia> "Also, what sort of weapon accessories and addons do you have?" [19:27] <~Tempest> [Shopkeep] Sadly, I am all sold out on buckshot. My only other box of shells is slugs. The box of flechette is yours for 15 P$, and the box of slugs is 20 P$. I'm really sorry, shotguns have gotten mad popular lately and everyone is buying ammo. [19:27] <Tasia> "Eh, we'll live.

The first is C-AP, the other is surplus stuff. [19:38] <Tasia> "Hmm... Okay, since I have room for a holster and nothing there, I'll take the TT and the surplus ammo - I'll pass on the cold stuff, though." [19:38] <Tasia> "Acually, nevermind, might as well take that too." [19:38] <Tasia> "should be convertible to -hot- AP." [19:39] <~Tempest> [Shopkeep] Fair enough! Do you want extra magazines for the Tokarev? I have 4. [19:39] <Tasia> "Yes please!" [19:39] <~Tempest> [Shopkeep] All of em? [19:39] <Tasia> "I don't know why not. I think I have room." [19:39] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Lookin' for a plinker, eh Tasia? [19:40] <Tasia> "My idea is to get an armor-piercing pistol... well, assuming that there' [19:40] <Tasia> "...is a chance to adapt the ammo." [19:40] <~Tempest> [Telma] Should be doable at the Customs workshop [19:41] <Tasia> "As comfortable as .45 is to shoot, it's more of a soft-target round." [19:42] <~Tempest> [Shopkeep] Will that be everything? [19:43] <Tasia> *to allies* [19:43] <Tasia> "Do you have any other ideas?" [19:44] <Tasia> "If they don't, then yeah, that'll be it." [19:44] <~Tempest> [Telma] Well, other than wishing into existence some .50 AE, I don't need anything here. [19:45] <~Tempest> [Lauren] I'm all good. I got a brick of 9mm, you carry extra 5.56 for the ARX, and you just bought me some extra shells. Don't need nothin' else!

The door leads to the penultimate Normal mission - where very tough challenges await. If you'd rather continue roaming the Mazes, type !mrooms1, but if you want to take on the mission, announce it as such. What will you decide? [20:11] <Tasia> ...I'll do it! [20:12] <&Hebizuka> *You enter, once again, a large, arena-like room which seems to indefinitely stretch. There are no other doors, and as soon as your party comes in, the door you came from seems to disappear.* [20:12] <~Tempest> [???] Come and see, Chosen One! [20:13] <Tasia> "..." [20:13] * Tasia looks around for the source of this voice. [20:14] <&Hebizuka> *Coming out of the shadows is a feminine figure, riding a horse. She has pale white skin, raven black hair, a thin frame, and most noticeably a pair of glowing green eyes. The horse she rides on is sickly white, and also has glowing green eyes. The feminine figure dismounts, and the horse retires in the shadows.* [20:14] <~Tempest> [???] Oh my, oh my. You brought friends. I didn't know it was a whole party of Chosen Ones, unless it's just one of you. [20:15] <Tasia> "Since you're the only one I've seen riding a horse around, I'm going to work on the assumption that you're one of the Horsemen I was warned about." [20:16] <~Tempest> [???] Well, you must be the leader. I am known as Pestilence, one of the Four Horsemen indeed. We're usually on vacation, but it looks like your trip to Maratuxa's Tomb has woken us out of retirement. May I ask what your name is? [20:16] <Tasia> "Maybe you should have gotten better warning about us." [20:16] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Oh, please. Like I haven't heard that before. [20:17] <Tasia> "Where's your friends, hmm?" [20:17] <~Tempest> [Pesty] I'll explain everything first, if you don't mind. [20:17] <Tasia> "Fine. And the names Tasia, not that it matters." [20:18] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Maratuxa was... the best way to put it is an 'anomaly'. And because he was seen as such, that is what prompted his, er, 'removal'. Along with the 'removal' of his world and his civilization, leaving nothing but ruins and dust, so that a new and more advanced one may rise in its place - the one you live in right now. [20:19] <Tasia> "And you propose to remove this one as well?" [20:20] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Our purpose, as the Horsemen, is to remove civilizations that have allowed anomalous beings to exist, so that they do not threaten what I'd best explain as the status quo. We bring natural disasters and chaos so that they do not spread and become too... good, in a way. Maratuxa's anomalous ability was astral foresight. He could predict the future, and he predicted his own doom. [20:21] <~Tempest> [Pesty] I have no idea what's so special about you, though. Other than you're an otherworlder who has done a good job of surviving and killing a lot of people. All I know is that the King foresaw you as well, and it seems he was right. [20:21] <Tasia> "You seem pretty anomalous to me yourself." [20:21] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Oh, I won't deny that. But an order is an order. We have gotten the order to remove you first, and then the rest of this civilization so that the world resets again. [20:22] <~Tempest> [Pesty] It's nothing personal. With that said, I'm unsure about this order, and I've rarely ever been unsure about anything. So instead of proceeding with obliterating everything ever, I asked my colleagues if we could make this a sort of... um... A test. [20:23] <Tasia> "Yeah, well, you see.... there's people that live here. What about them? It migh make sense to change civilization to something better, bu destruction isn't the way to do that. So take your status quo and shove it." [20:23] <~Tempest> *The horsewoman shrugs.* [20:23] <Tasia> "A test, you say?" [20:24] <~Tempest> [Pesty] I'm not exactly having any hard feelings here. [20:24] <Tasia> "Speak your piece, then." [20:24] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Well, yes. I want to see exactly what it is that the King foresaw into you. I want to see if he saw an exceptional normal being, or an anomalous, uncanny creature. [20:25] <Tasia> "I'm just a human, that's it - even if I am the 'chosen one'. Just a normal, ordinary human." [20:26] <~Tempest> [Pesty] I'll turn this body into something more... physical. *Brief flash of light. Pestilence seems less ghastly.* Ah, there we go. [20:27] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Well. You don't seem to be an anomaly. But we've come here, all the way, and I'm feeling a little, ah... Restless. [20:28] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Tell you what. How about you and your friend fight each one of us in order? If you win, we'll be leaving and the people of this world will all live to see another day tomorrow. If you lose, we'll reset the civilization anyway; might as well. [20:28] <Tasia> "If you'd like to see what ordinary common humans are capable of these days, then, let's go." [20:29] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Excellent! Finally some exercise! I've been waiting for this! [20:29] <~Tempest> *Pestilence disappears out of sight, she seems to have teleported away, but you can still hear voice.* [20:30] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Okay... Tasia. There's a piece of cover here on your side. [20:30] <&Hebizuka> [Cover] A static tactical shield, "Defender" model. (Health: 90, LDV modifier: -3. AC Eqv: Kevlar-4. Pass-through threshold: 12+ dmg. Pain modifier: x0.50, Blast-resistant) [20:32] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Feel free to make any preparations you want, if it's not done already. Reload, shoot yourselves up with drugs, whatever you want - just take your time to ready yourselves. And when you lot are ready to fight, say "I am ready," and I will show up again, and we will do this. But don't make me wait too loooong~ [20:34] * Tasia gets behind the cover... [20:35] <~Tempest> *Your allies follow. You are now all behind cover.* [20:36] * Tasia takes out an Accuratio mushroom. "Here, Lauren. This might help you..." [20:36] <Tasia> "I'd hand one to Telma too, but I think she can hit pretty well with that rifle already." [20:38] * Tasia lies down at the edge of the shield and sets up the SCAR's bipod. [20:39] <Tasia> "Telma, take the other side and get hat rifle set up, hmm?" [21:40] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren happily snatches and eats the provided mushroom, while yourself and Telma spend a turn's worth of time to setup on your bipods.* [21:42] <Tasia> "Ready, everyone?" [21:42] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Oooh, I haven't done magic shrooms in forever! [21:42] <~Tempest> [Telma] Yeah, I'm ready, and she is too. [21:43] <Tasia> "I'm ready, come on out!" [21:44] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence blasts into existence again, and with her, the atmosphere seems to become hazardous and putrid. The horse(wo)man of diseases and sickness seems excited to start the fight!* [21:44] <~Tempest> *Turn 1. What is your first move?* [21:45] <Tasia> She's just standing there? Ok. 10 rounds full-auto with the SCAR. [21:47] <&Hebizuka> *Telma takes aim with her WA2000, targeting Pestilence's chest and going for a single shot.* [21:47] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren raises her AA-12 and lets 'er loose with five shots, full-auto, in Pesty's direction as well.* [21:48] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence targets Telma and prepares herself, as if she's going to spit something...* [21:48] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: You, Pesty, Telma, Lauren. You may roll first.* [21:49] <Tasia> @roll 10#2d6 [21:49] <MazeBot> Tasia: 7;6;4;4;6;8;6;11;7;4 [21:51] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-10: 7 hits, 3 misses.* [21:52] <&Hebizuka> *Sharp aiming and the solid rest of a bipod helped you land more hits than you'd normally have.* [21:54] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence's body is now adorned with visible holes, but you can't sense the slightest hint of pain from her face. In this form however, she isn't invulnerable. Enough damage and she'll eventually be defeated.* [21:54] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence's turn...* [21:54] <&Hebizuka> *She attacks Telma with an acid spit!* [21:54] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [21:54] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 5 [21:55] <&Hebizuka> *The trail of acid misses the cover and flies too low, landing on the floor - which seems to start burning from the acid! Your opponent seems disappointed from missing her shot.* [21:55] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Ah, sheesh. It's been too long. [21:55] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren's turn...* [21:55] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren levels her shotgun at Pestilence, and opens fire!* [21:55] <&Hebizuka> @roll 5#2d6 [21:55] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 11;8;8;7;6 [21:57] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-3: 3 hits* [21:57] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 4-5: 2 misses* [21:57] <&Hebizuka> *Total: 3 hits, 2 misses.* [21:58] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence's torso is now struck by three incendiary slugs, flaring up as soon as they hit her body. She looks really thin, you'd think this would tear her apart, but she remains nonplussed. The fire fails to catch onto Pestilence, it seems she's resistant to it!* [21:59] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's turn...* [21:59] <&Hebizuka> *Your ally aligns the opponent's upper body into her 12x optic's crosshairs, then pulls the trigger.* [22:00] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [22:00] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 6 [22:00] <&Hebizuka> *Hit!* [22:02] <&Hebizuka> *A .300 WM Match bullet strikes right where the heart would be on a normal human being. But Pestilence is neither normal nor a human being...* [22:02] <&Hebizuka> *End of Turn 1. Pestilence still seems to be in good shape.* [22:03] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Okay... That's not bad at all, girls. But I'm still in the game... Come on, make this interesting! [22:03] <~Tempest> *Telma looks very nervous, and doesn't believe how she can take such a beating and still look fine.* [22:04] <~Tempest> *Turn 2. Next move?* [22:04] <Tasia> Let's see what explosives do to her, then! Tasia will throw a MkIIIA2 grenade from her belt. "Grenade out!" [22:05] <~Tempest> *Your bipod will be automatically un-deployed.* [22:05] <~Tempest> *Telma shifts and adjusts, going to try for another torso shot.* [22:07] <~Tempest> *Lauren seems about as excited as the opposition is, and opens fire in full-auto again ; another 5 shots.* [22:08] <~Tempest> *Pestilence decides to move into melee range, and attack Telma with what appears to be her hand - but looking closer, you notice it's not a right hand she has, it's sharp claws, dripping in something green-ish!* [22:09] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: You, Pesty, Lauren, Telma. You may roll first.* [22:09] <Tasia> @roll 2d6 [22:09] <MazeBot> Tasia: 6 [22:11] <&Hebizuka> *Thrown explosive: FT-1 is translated into Score +1. Your roll has been treated as being a 7.* [22:12] <&Hebizuka> *Far-hit!* [22:13] <&Hebizuka> *The explosion shakes the surroundings, and Pestilence is caught in the powerful high-explosive blast. This seems to have torn and sooted up her clothes, and damaged her previously excited, almost ecstatic behavior. Now she looks pained and annoyed, the damage is starting to sink in.* [22:14] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence's turn...* [22:21] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence moves in behind your cover and on your side to attack Telma!* [22:21] <&Hebizuka> @bodyaim [22:21] <MazeBot> [EXTREMITY] Left foot [22:21] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [22:22] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 5 [22:22] <&Hebizuka> *...and demonstrates poor aim and poor judgement.* [22:22] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Ah, ehehe... I'm not what I used to be, clearly. [22:23] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren's turn.* [22:23] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Oh, you're going to get fucked up! [22:23] <&Hebizuka> @roll 5#2d6 [22:23] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 7;2;7;6;7 [22:23] <&Hebizuka> @roll 1d100 Malfunction check [22:23] <MazeBot> Hebizuka, Malfunction check: 72 [22:23] <&Hebizuka> *Passed! No malfunction this turn.* [22:23] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-3: 2 hits, 1 miss.* [22:24] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 4-5: 1 hit, 1 miss.* [22:24] <&Hebizuka> *Total: 3 hits, 2 misses, the same as last turn.* [22:25] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's turn...* [22:26] <&Hebizuka> *Telma turns herself just enough - taking advantage of her bipod, even while her target is now on your side of the arena. All she has to do now is to open fire, and she does so...* [22:26] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [22:26] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 7 [22:27] <&Hebizuka> *Pestilence looks like she's about to give up!* [22:28] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Oooh, man. You and your modern tech weaponry. I'm not cut out for fair battles... Why did I agree to this... [22:28] <~Tempest> *End of Turn 2. The toxic atmosphere is starting to have an effect... You're feeling sick.* [22:29] <~Tempest> *Turn 3.* [22:29] <~Tempest> *What is your next move?* [22:29] * Tasia puts another 10 rounds into Pesty with the SCAR, full-auto~ [22:31] <~Tempest> *Telma lets go of the WA2000, draws her Desert Eagle and attempts to fire two shots at Pesty's torso.* [22:31] <~Tempest> *Lauren magdumps the rest of her drum.* [22:32] <~Tempest> *Pestilence draws what appears to be a bow, aims at you, and will attempt to shoot you with it!* [22:33] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: Telma, You, Pesty, Lauren.* [22:33] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's turn...* [22:33] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2#2d6 [22:33] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 8;5 [22:33] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-2: 1 hit, 1 miss* [22:34] <&Hebizuka> *Telma hits her once, a .50 AE FMJ round tearing through and into the Horseman's body.* [22:34] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Ouch, for fuck's sake! That's enough! [22:35] <&Hebizuka> Telma [Desert Eagle] Pestilence [22:35] <&Hebizuka> *End of fight! (3 turns)* [22:35] <Tasia> "Now do you see what you're up against? That's what ordinary humans can do!" [22:35] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Oooww... [22:37] <~Tempest> [Pesty] Okay... Okay. You win, this round. But one of my colleagues wants to take you head-on right now. [22:37] <~Tempest> *Pestilence summons her horse, mounts it, and takes off into the void, disappearing. A door appears.* [22:38] <Tasia> "If he wants some of this, there's plenty to go around. We've got a lot of ammo left." [22:38] <~Tempest> *You are free to prepare, heal up, or do anything else before going forward.* [22:38] * Tasia takes her pack off and pulls out another MkIIIA2 to equip, as well as swapping in a fresh 60-rd STANAG magazine. [22:39] <Tasia> Err, make that, op off the one I have. [22:39] <Tasia> top off wih 10 rds. [22:41] <~Tempest> *The process will take 6 turns. Proceed?* [22:45] <&Hebizuka> *Dropping backpack, taking out a spare grenade to equip and refilling your magazine...* [22:46] <Tasia> "Reload time!" [22:49] <&Hebizuka> *6 turns pass. You and your allies are feeling sick, and you feel like strength is seeping away from your body.* [22:49] <Tasia> Do I know of any medicines to counteract this? [22:50] <&Hebizuka> *It seems that the atmosphere has poisoned you and your team.* [22:51] <Tasia> "Wait, wait.... I have some antivenom somewhere..." [22:51] <Tasia> [Meds] Vial - Universal antivenom - Cures 5 Venom. - Weight: 0.1 - [Quantity: 3] [22:52] * Tasia tears out the antivenom vials and distributes them [22:52] <Tasia> *gulp!* [22:52] <~Tempest> [Telma] Oh, shit, we were poisoned? [22:52] <Tasia> "I am SO GLAD to have this!" [22:52] <~Tempest> *Everyone takes and consumes an antivenom vial. You are feeling a lot better and so are your allies.* [22:52] <Tasia> "It feels like it, anyway, and I'd rather not wait until we keel over to be sure." [22:56] <Tasia> Feeling healthy again, we'll go through the next door... [22:59] <&Hebizuka> *Advancing forwards...* [23:00] <&Hebizuka> *You make it into another, similar arena-like room.* [23:02] <&Hebizuka> *As soon as you enter, you see the next Horseman entering. A large masculine figure, with an olive complexion, well-combed brown hair, a corpulent frame, and a pair of piercing golden eyes, riding a black horse covered in shiny armor, complete with gold accents and ornate jewelry, as well as carrying bags full of riches.* [23:02] <&Hebizuka> *The Horseman unmounts, and stands proudly, watching you with a smirk on the face.* [23:03] <~Tempest> [???] So you're the one who did that bank robbery story I heard about. And I hear you also raided the crap out of the King's tomb? I'm not sure the riches you have found there have been of much use to you. Hah. [23:03] <Tasia> "Only for lack of things to buy." [23:04] <~Tempest> [???] HAH. Who needs to buy when you have EVERYTHING? My wealth is infinite, and my hunger, limitless. And you're my next snack, you and your two little friends. The name's Famine, but I prefer Minne. It sounds... Classier. [23:05] <Tasia> "Hey, it's security for the future. A future that you won't mess with." [23:05] <Tasia> "If you're that hungry, you can come over here and eat some lead..." [23:06] <~Tempest> *Minne mounts his horse again, still smirking and chuckling at himself. The horse makes a few steps backwards, protecting himself behind what looks like a force field.* [23:06] <Tasia> "Heh. Who am I kidding? I was never that good at trash talk." [23:07] <~Tempest> [Minne] Oh, you think you're so tough huh. Play with my minions a bit, and if you're good enough, we'll see about a fight with... Moi. [23:08] <Tasia> "Not willing to get your own hands dirty, or are you a tiny litle bit afraid?" [23:08] <&Hebizuka> *A pair of green blobs appear!* [23:08] <&Hebizuka> *The atmosphere seems to sap your energy...* [23:09] <&Hebizuka> *Turn 1. What is your next move?* [23:09] <Tasia> 10 shots wih Whisper at the first blob. [23:11] <~Tempest> [Telma] Yeeeek! What the heck are these things! [23:11] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Afraid of a little jelly? [23:12] <Tasia> "Hell if I know!" [23:12] <&Hebizuka> *Telma prepares her Desert Eagle again, aiming at Blob #1 and firing three rounds.* [23:13] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren prepares her MkII grenade and tosses it at #2.* [23:13] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #1 will move in your direction and try to touch you, and #2 will try to do the same with Telma.* [23:14] <~Tempest> *Tasia: Which fire mode for your attack?* [23:14] <Tasia> Full-auto. [23:15] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: Lauren, You, Telma, Blob1, Blob2* [23:15] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren's turn...* [23:16] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:16] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 5 [23:16] <&Hebizuka> *Accuracy bonus boosts score to 6 points.* [23:16] <&Hebizuka> *Distant-hit* [23:18] <&Hebizuka> *Despite the botched throw, the explosion has ripped apart nearly three quarters of each blob's body. Now reduced to a little above 25% of their original size, they don't seem so imposing...* [23:18] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren looks very confident. Telma, not so much.* [23:22] <&Hebizuka> *Your turn. You may roll now.* [23:22] <Tasia> @roll 10#2d6 [23:22] <MazeBot> Tasia: 6;12;6;5;3;8;5;7;8;11 [23:22] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-7: 4 hits, 3 misses.* [23:23] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 8-10: 3 hits.* [23:23] <&Hebizuka> *Total: 7 hits, 3 misses, including 1 critical hit* [23:23] <&Hebizuka> *Your hits do not seem to cause very much damage to the blob... The bullets do seem to do minimal whittling, but at this rate it'd take a lot of rounds to destroy them completely.* [23:23] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's turn...* [23:23] <&Hebizuka> @roll 3#2d6 [23:23] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 7;7;4 [23:24] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-3: 2 hits, 1 miss.* [23:24] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #1 absorbs both bullets, taking very minimal damage in the process. It looks pointless to shoot them...* [23:24] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's Desert Eagle is empty!* [23:26] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #1...* [23:27] <&Hebizuka> *The blobs move within melee range...* [23:27] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:27] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 6 [23:27] <&Hebizuka> *The blob seems not to want to touch you.* [23:27] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #2...* [23:27] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:27] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 6 [23:27] <&Hebizuka> *#2 refuses to touch Telma either, but that still freaks the heck out of her.* [23:28] <&Hebizuka> *End of Turn 1. You feel like you're exerting a lot more energy than you should.* [23:28] <&Hebizuka> *Turn 2. What's your next move?* [23:28] <Tasia> "Damn, they're too close for more grenades." [23:28] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Grab your blades and hack the shit outta them! They hate being split! [23:29] * Tasia will draw her Ishapore Long Blade and slash twice at the blob attacking her. [23:29] <Tasia> "Got it! I knew I kept this for a reason!" [23:29] <~Tempest> [Telma] DAMMIT YOU GUYS I HAVE NO BLADE [23:30] <Tasia> "Umm, beat them wih your rifle stock? I don't know!" [23:30] <~Tempest> *Telma grabs her baseball bat and tries smashing Blob #2.* [23:30] <~Tempest> *Lauren comes to the rescue with her KA-BAR and tries slashing Blob #2 three times.* [23:31] <~Tempest> *Both blobs attempt converging on freaked-out Telma to try and touch her.* [23:31] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: You, Lauren, Telma, Blob1, Blob2. You may roll first.* [23:31] <Tasia> @roll 2#2d6 [23:31] <MazeBot> Tasia: 9;4 [23:33] <~Tempest> *Attacks: 1 hit, 1 miss.* [23:34] <&Hebizuka> *You slash Blob #1 once, cutting its already reduced size into half.* [23:34] <&Hebizuka> *Now Blob #1 is nearly 1/10th as big as it started.* [23:35] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren's turn...* [23:35] <&Hebizuka> @roll 3#2d6 [23:35] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 8;10;7 [23:35] <&Hebizuka> *Attacks: 3 hits.* [23:36] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #2 also adopts an extremely reduced size. It's still capable of posing a threat, but a couple of shots should kill it now.* [23:37] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's turn...* [23:37] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:37] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 3 [23:37] <&Hebizuka> *Telma misses. The bat strikes the floor instead of the blob.* [23:37] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #1...* [23:37] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:37] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 9 [23:37] <&Hebizuka> @bodyaim [23:37] <MazeBot> [LIMB] Left arm [23:38] <&Hebizuka> *The blob hops onto Telma's left arm, which it engulfs - at least as much as its size allows. Telma screams in pain; it looks like she's sustaining acid burns!* [23:39] <&Hebizuka> *In addition, her SRA arm pads are sustaining damage!* [23:39] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #2...* [23:39] <&Hebizuka> @bodyaim [23:39] <MazeBot> [LIMB] Left arm [23:39] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:39] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 3 [23:39] <&Hebizuka> *The other blob would've jumped on that arm as well, if his colleague wasn't busy on it already.* [23:40] <&Hebizuka> *End of Turn 2. Blob #1 falls off of Telma. You're feeling an intense draw on your energy.* [23:40] <&Hebizuka> *Turn 3. What is your next move?* [23:41] * Tasia takes two more swings at Blob 1 with the sword bayonet. [23:42] <&Hebizuka> *Telma frantically tries to hit Blob #2 with her bat, twice.* [23:43] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren draws her Glock 18, firing a six-round burst at Blob #1* [23:43] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #1 moves towards you, and #2 moves in Lauren's direction!* [23:43] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: You, Lauren, Telma, Blobs. You may roll first.* [23:44] <Tasia> @roll 2@2d6 [23:44] <Tasia> @roll 2#2d6 [23:44] <MazeBot> Tasia: 6;5 [23:44] <&Hebizuka> *Attacks: 1 hit, 1 miss.* [23:45] <&Hebizuka> *The tiny blob becomes tinier yet, but it's not dead yet!* [23:46] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Once they're small enough, shoot the fuck out of them! Bullets will break em down! [23:46] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren's turn...* [23:46] <&Hebizuka> @roll 6#2d6 [23:46] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 4;7;9;11;7;11 [23:47] <&Hebizuka> *Shots 1-6: 5 hits, 1 miss.* [23:47] <&Hebizuka> Lauren [Glock 18C] Green blob #1 [23:48] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren screams out a "YES!" of victory.* [23:49] <&Hebizuka> *Telma's turn...* [23:49] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2#2d6 [23:49] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 6;12 [23:49] <&Hebizuka> *Attacks: 1 hit, 1 miss, including 1 critical hit.* [23:49] <&Hebizuka> *The blob absorbs the hit with minimal damage, despite being very, very small.* [23:50] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #1 cannot act this turn as it died before moving.* [23:50] <&Hebizuka> *Blob #2...* [23:50] <&Hebizuka> @bodyaim [23:50] <MazeBot> [LIMB] Right shoulder [23:50] <&Hebizuka> @roll 2d6 [23:50] <MazeBot> Hebizuka: 2 [23:51] <&Hebizuka> *Critical failure! The green blob launches itself straight onto Lauren's blade, accidentally cutting itself in another half!* [23:52] <&Hebizuka> *End of Turn 3. The surviving blob remains on the ground. You're feeling an intense draw on your energy.* [23:52] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Whoa, hey, the shroom stopped working! [23:52] <&Hebizuka> *Turn 4. What's your next move?* [23:53] * Tasia attempts to finish the last blob off with two more slashes. [23:53] <~Tempest> [Lauren] Tasia, you gotta shoot it! [23:53] <Tasia> "Oh! Okay." [23:53] * Tasia switches to her Tokarev and gives it a try. [23:54] <~Tempest> *How many shots?* [23:54] <Tasia> All 9 shots, let's make sure to hit. [00:00] <&Hebizuka> *Telma swaps her empty Desert Eagle magazine for a fresh one instead of fighting back, for now.* [00:01] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren aims at the remaining blob and fires 4 rounds in semi-auto, just to give you an insurance policy.* [00:01] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: Telma, You, Lauren, Blob.* [00:01] <&Hebizuka> *Telma reloads...* [00:02] <&Hebizuka> *Your turn.

[00:40] <&Hebizuka> *Telma is forced to switch to her Desert Eagle again and to go for two shots, so as to not let recoil get the best of her.* [00:41] <&Hebizuka> *Lauren on the other hand, grabs her ARX-160, and will dump about half the magazine into the golem - pretty much out of fear more than anything.* [00:42] <&Hebizuka> *The golem will try punching Lauren.* [00:42] <&Hebizuka> *Order this turn: You, Telma, Lauren, Golem.

We got him!" [00:48] <~Tempest> [Minne] Oh, but the fun has only just begun... [00:49] <&Hebizuka> *End of Turn 6. You're burning yet more energy...
