Super Smash Quest - Story - Chapter 224: Tech it to the Max!
Date: 1:21:05 PM, July 16th; 11:50:20 AM, July 18th, 2005.
Digifanatic: "Should we just get out of here and move on?"
Aetos: "Perhaps the cry-lab is this way."
Julian Sawyer: "Hate ths place..." *Moves on*
Aetos cautiously heads north
Digifanatic moves on.
MrMonster follows...
Garrick Fy`aar would try to power down the console and take the wires and equipment for the ship...
Metal Man (GM): Welcome to laser land! Population: You. There's a laser blocking a rectangular part of the left side off.
Aetos: "Oh no! First mine land, now Laser land!"
Metal Man (GM): Left side of the room.
Digifanatic: "Yup..."
Metal Man (GM): Garrick: It'd take a while to do.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I'll come back."
Metal Man (GM): And you're afraid you might kill whoever is being defrosted.
Garrick Fy`aar stands up and continues on with the others.
Metal Man (GM): Yup. One to the left, one to the right. The only way clear is a door dead ahead. And a big red button on the floor. It's big. It's red. And you can stomp on it.
Julian Sawyer: *Restrains Aetos*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...Aetos... ...you touch it, I swear I'll kill you."
Digifanatic rolls his eyes. "Heeeeeeeeeere we go..."
Julian Sawyer: "You touch the button, you die. That's not a threat. That's a PROMISE."
Aetos: "? You realize I hate buttons..."
Julian Sawyer: "Yet you seem content on pressing everything ELSE."
Aetos: "Just Shiny's"
Digifanatic walks to the other door.
Azure: "Glad someone is easily amused..."
Digifanatic: "Hey, if something's bad on the other side, we might have to press it..."
Metal Man (GM): The other door continues North-ward.
Julian Sawyer: "Yeah, we just don't want Aetos being the one who does."
Aetos: "Why Julian, Am I stealing your thunder?"
Julian Sawyer: "No, you're just ticking me and Garrick off."
Aetos turns away, remembering Julian's cruelty in the arena.
Metal Man (GM): There's a door to the right, behind lasers ..And to the left, behind a different set of lasers. Doors and lasers everywhere! You have to open it to find out.
Digifanatic carefully opens the door.
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP* 15 electric damage. Man these electric doors are annoying.
Digifanatic walks away angry. "I have had it with these doors as well!"
Metal Man (GM): You wonder if the person who made this funhouse made it to annoy people to death.
Julian Sawyer: *Twitch*
Metal Man (GM): Digi: You notice, by the door you came in.. ...A circuit breaker?
Digifanatic: "Hmm... Hey Garrick, check this out." *He shows him the breaker.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...well, what have we here..."
Digifanatic: "You probably know about these things better than I do."
Garrick Fy`aar moves over and takes a gander...
Metal Man (GM): It has one fuse.
Julian Sawyer: "SMASH IT!"
Metal Man (GM): Which is unbroken.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I could use that fuse."
Metal Man (GM): The fuse is screwed in, and about the size of a flashlight. It appears to be in use.
Azure: "Circuit breaker..." *Sighs he is really missing the smash dex library of information.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...ah, it's a sin, I know, but... oh well." *He takes a few steps back, draws the M150, and unloads a series of shots into it*
Metal Man (GM): *BAM* You hear a large explosion as all the lasers die down. And are replaced by electrified floors.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): So now, you're gonna have to leap to the doors.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...son of a..."
Digifanatic: "This guy throws every stop at us!"
Julian Sawyer: "Kill..." *Makes a leap towards the Door on the right*
Azure: *Jumps to door on right*
Digifanatic follows when the coast is clear.
Metal Man (GM): You reach the right door. Do you open it?
Julian Sawyer: *Open, why not?*
Metal Man (GM): The door opens... the electric floors turn off. Digi lands on the floor, face-first... and isn't zapped.
Julian Sawyer: "...And I'm awesome. What else is new?"
Aetos walks over to Julian...
Julian Sawyer: *Looks into the room he opened*
Metal Man (GM): Now, you are confronted with another room of evil! There's a big pit in the middle of this room.
Julian Sawyer: "...What is with the pits?!"
Metal Man (GM): A staircase is hanging precariously in the middle of this pit.
Azure peers inside shortly after julian "...great..."
Metal Man (GM): More jumping! Joy!
Julian Sawyer: *Distance?*
Digifanatic: "Boy... pits, electric doors... this ain't right."
MrMonster looks inside this room... He tries to get an estimate on how stable this staircase is...
Digifanatic heads to the other door, seen as how it's safe. "Eh..."
Metal Man (GM): The staircase looks safe.
Digifanatic walks back. "It was probably going to shock me."
MrMonster: "... Anyone besides me volunteer to jump first?"
Julian Sawyer: *Distance?*
Aetos: "Me I guess."
Metal Man (GM): Distance unknown.
Aetos steps back, then jumps over to the staircase
Metal Man (GM): Aetos reaches the staircase.
Aetos walks up the staircase...
Metal Man (GM): It is precarious but sturdy. Up.
Julian Sawyer: "Seems safe enough..." *LEAP!*
Azure: *Takes a few steps back then runs and leaps toward the the staircase in a front flip.*
Metal Man (GM): Success.
Digifanatic waits just incase there are more switches or something that can remove those pits.
Metal Man (GM): Success.
MrMonster jumps to the stair case.
Julian Sawyer: *Heads up*
Metal Man (GM): Success.
Digifanatic: "Julian, do you have another Holo Bridge thingy?"
Azure: "Well we made it. Lucky us..." *He begins to walk upward.*
Metal Man (GM): Upwards, you go... those who went up encounter... more doors, and a small room.
Aetos decides to walk back down, hopefully able to grab someone who doesn't make it far enough
Digifanatic won't be left behind... even if that means he might have to lose a life in doing so. He takes a deep breath and...
Metal Man (GM): Success. One left, one right, and one down door.
Digifanatic catches the stairs. 1 "Phew..." *He walks up as well*
Aetos smiles at Digi "I woulda gotcha ya know?" He walks back up with him
Metal Man (GM): So then. East, South, or West? Whoever designed this place made it to discourage people, for sure. It's been one long trip of electrical fake doors and pits...
MrMonster decides his fate is to be zapped... Err. . ..... The Trulander tries to open the right door.
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP* 15 electrical damage.
Azure: "Is this getting tiring to anyone else..."
Digifanatic: "No problem... if I was close enough, that is!"
Azure: *Looks around the room the direction of the doors and such also looking for more technology he can't understand if any.*
MrMonster: "Someone else can try the other two doors..."
Digifanatic tries the door on the left.
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP* 15 electrical damage
Digifanatic: "Like I didn't see THAT ONE coming..."
MrMonster: "That leaves the middle door..."
Azure: *Tries the west.*
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP* 15 electrical damage. The South door is left.
Azure: "OUCH! Not this one either..."
Aetos tries the South door then...?
Metal Man (GM): It opens. You see more doors. Another weirdly shaped room.
Aetos: "Woo, who didn't see that coming?"
Metal Man (GM): Two West doors, and one South door.
Aetos enters the room.
Julian Sawyer: "...Hate this place..."
Azure: *Sighs as he progresses.*
Julian Sawyer: *Enters*
Digifanatic continues through.
MrMonster: "Hrm..."
Julian Sawyer: "When will it end..."
Digifanatic: "I'd almost rather be fighting something then go through this haunted house."
MrMonster heads to the south door and just pokes the door, and not open it...
Azure: "Don't say that..."
Digifanatic: "Okay, fine."
Metal Man (GM): South door is safe.
Julian Sawyer: *Looks for debris he can throw at the other two doors.*
MrMonster tries opening the door...
Metal Man (GM): It opens. The now opened second South door... leads into a room with more doors.
MrMonster: "... Look at that. I didn't die a horrible... Death..."
Digifanatic follows him through.
Metal Man (GM): One North, one East, one South, and one North.
Julian Sawyer: "...I'm going mad..." *Tries the east one...*
MrMonster shakes his head and heads through.
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP* 15 electric damage to Julian.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
MrMonster pokes the south one.
Julian Sawyer: *Twitch*
Metal Man (GM): *ZAP*
Digifanatic: "I wish I brought a pair of rubber gloves..."
Metal Man (GM): 15 electrical damage.
Digifanatic: "And yes, I'd share them."
Metal Man (GM): You're wondering who would be so sadistic to make a tower like this.
MrMonster drinks a Red Potion and feels as good as new...
Digifanatic: "I don't have much else to lose..." *He tries the west door.*
Metal Man (GM): It opens .. More doors!
Digifanatic: "Alright. Got it."
Metal Man (GM): In this room, there's a West door, and a North door.
Aetos follows them into the latest room...
Digifanatic heads through.
MrMonster: "... I'm about ready to give up."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Don't give up yet. I'm sure we're almost there."
MrMonster uses Sword Shot on the North door in an attempt to smash it open.
Metal Man (GM): The North door opens for you. There's another room over there...
Garrick Fy`aar: "Nicely done, Monster..."
Metal Man (GM): It has North, South, West, and East doors.
MrMonster: "Ah! We just have to pummel the doors into submission..."
Digifanatic: "Phew."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...erm..."
Digifanatic: "Yeah, but that could have been luck."
Garrick Fy`aar heads inside, sighs, then checks the north door...
MrMonster heads into the next room. "Well, at least we know the southern door's fake..."
Metal Man (GM): *BZAP* 15 electric damage.
Digifanatic is almost ready to go insane...
Garrick Fy`aar: "Dah, sonofa..."
MrMonster casts Ring Toss on the West and East doors...
Metal Man (GM): East door zaps the ring into submission. West door is blown open. West door leads to... no more doors!
Digifanatic heads through the West door, but wait...
Garrick Fy`aar heads inside...
MrMonster heads into the next room. "The gods to have mercy on us..."
Metal Man (GM): You've escaped the room of rooms with doors!
Julian Sawyer: "Thank god..." *Enters*
Metal Man (GM): Well, there is a single door to the next room, but it's hanging wide open.
Aetos enters "Sweet mercifull heaven."
Digifanatic: "This is immoral!"
Julian Sawyer: "Whenever we meet the guy who made that, I'm gonna punch him in head..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...ahem."
Julian Sawyer: "Anyway."
Metal Man (GM): Oh, and there's a North door too.
Garrick Fy`aar walks up to the open door and glances inside...
Metal Man (GM): Both are hanging open.
MrMonster readies Racualk for whatever may be in the next room and stands before the open doorway.
Metal Man (GM): Garrick: You see a staircase in the East room. Northern doorway... ALSO has a staircase!
Aetos: "Erm..."
Metal Man (GM): Maybe you're seeing double... but both rooms look exactly the same.
Aetos: "Perhaps, one leaves to riches, one leads to disaster?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "They're exactly the same. I bet they lead to the same place. I'm going this way." *He heads up the East staircase*
MrMonster follows Garrick...
Aetos: "Do you mind if I go the North way?" *He shrugs*
Garrick Fy`aar is already gone, so he wouldn't asnwer
Digifanatic: "I dunno... usually good not to split, but..."
Azure: "Great..."
Digifanatic: "Garrick could be right in that both lead to the same place."
Aetos: "Hope so, I just don't want to miss out on something" *He goes north and heads up the stairs*
Azure: "Well I'll go watch his back." *Goes after Garrick.* "Good luck my friends... let us all get to the same place..."
Metal Man (GM): Is that everybody? North or East staircase, thhose who haven't chosen choose now.
Digifanatic follows Aetos, trying to give him extra insurance incase...
Julian Sawyer: *Goes EAST then*
Metal Man (GM): Everybody going East. You walk to the staircase... it disappears. The doors out are gone...
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): The room starts flashing weird colors.
Julian Sawyer: "What the hell..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...well, hell."
Azure: "Great..."
Julian Sawyer: "...That's it, I'm killing whoever made this place..."
Metal Man (GM): ...Lasers begin shooting out of the walls at random. Weird laughing is heard.
Digifanatic: .oO(This is the last time I eat camp food!)
Metal Man (GM): Strange geometric shapes fly around. One's heading straight for Digi! Digi, what do you do?
Garrick Fy`aar: "...nice use of magitek, boyo!"
Digifanatic tries running to the side.
Julian Sawyer: *Twitch*
Metal Man (GM): *ZBZZAAAAP* Oh, right. Well, Digi accidentally Digiported himself to... the East.
Aetos: "! Ahh I'm all alone!"
Metal Man (GM): Where he then moved.... And took 94 electric damage Several shapes fly at everyone in the weird East room.
Digifanatic loses his first life
Metal Man (GM): Does anyone in the East move try to dodge?
Garrick Fy`aar doesn't. He'll stay put.
Julian Sawyer: *Can't move, is twitching*
MrMonster tries to dodge the shapes.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I'm interested in meeting this fellow now."
Metal Man (GM): Julian takes no damage. Neither does Garrick. 43 electric damage to MrMonster.
Julian Sawyer: "I swear to *Deity deleted* I'm gonna kill him..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Ten bucks says it's E Li Three."
Azure: *Remains still.*
MrMonster: "Gah!"
Digifanatic stays still as well.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...no, not nutty enough."
Metal Man (GM): The lights turn white again... doors reappear. East people can go North or West.
Julian Sawyer: "...More... doors..."
Azure sighs "This is the most curious ...area I have ever been in..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "I won't hurt the guy. I just want to know where he came up with all this. Remember, he's Solarian." *He heads North*
Digifanatic: "Ah yeah..."
Julian Sawyer: *Reaches into his vest and pulls out a bottle, and chucks it at the North door* "That doesn't exuse him from a beating..."
Azure: "An any event all we can do is move forward." *Azure heads west.*
Digifanatic did revive shortly after that death, of course...
MrMonster follows Garrick...
Metal Man (GM): people going North encounter a gigantic pile of gold. 50,000 coins in a neat pile.
Aetos shifty eyes.
Julian Sawyer: *Waits for that bottle to hit the door, but it never does, so he continues North*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...well, money."
Digifanatic makes sure this isn't a trap.
Garrick Fy`aar: "There's... what... four of us? No, five."
Digifanatic: "Yeah... but that money might be rigged."
Metal Man (GM): This looks and smells like money.
Garrick Fy`aar picks up one solitary coin
Digifanatic: "Meh... not so... so far."
Metal Man (GM): It's a real coin. No electricity or lasers attached.
Garrick Fy`aar: "It's real as real can be."
Digifanatic: "Alright..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Ten thousand a piece. Nice and equal."
Digifanatic takes his share...
Garrick Fy`aar: "Digi, Monster, Azure, Julian, and myself."
Julian Sawyer: "It helps..." *Takes his share*
Azure: "Sounds... about right..." *Feels this will sting him later but he takes his share.*
Digifanatic: "I wonder how insane Kales really is."
MrMonster shakes his head. "12,500 a piece. I don't want any of that."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...suit yourself."
Digifanatic: "He has been real money-happy."
Garrick Fy`aar pockets his share and heads for the REAL stairs.
Julian Sawyer: "Meh. More money for me." *Takes the extra 2,500 and moves on*
Metal Man (GM): Up to the real stairs you go.
Digifanatic walks back to the other room.
MrMonster: "Who knows? That money may trigger some electric trap of death later on..." *Follows the others.*
Digifanatic: *Thus, that includes the area to Aetos.*
Azure: *Returns from his space and heads to the original staircase.*
Metal Man (GM): You go up the real stairs... ..Into a room... the top of the tower. It looks oddly like a house. There's a refrigerator... There's a strange machine...
Digifanatic: "Well... no more rooms, it seems."
Metal Man (GM): There's an empty cryo-stasis machine...
Garrick Fy`aar: "...well, the guy's loose."
Metal Man (GM): And look! A bunch of computers!
Garrick Fy`aar: "...ah ha!"
Azure: "So... we set him free?"
Metal Man (GM): ...Oh, yeah, and this weird mannequin next to them.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...huh?"
Metal Man (GM): Wearing some bizarre techno-cowboy outfit.
Digifanatic: "This is so wrong on so many levels."
Julian Sawyer: "..." .oO(Wood chipper...)
Garrick Fy`aar walks up to the mannequin and pokes it with the barrel of his gun...
Julian Sawyer: .oO(BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...)
MrMonster: "... Why did we enter this tower again?"
Julian Sawyer: "I don't know anymore."
Digifanatic: "Some relic Kales needed."
Metal Man (GM): You touch it, and it falls over. Like... a mannequin.
MrMonster: "No... This was optional..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...well, it must be a full fledged mannequin then."
Julian Sawyer: "No, we're trying to find the guy who the ship pointed out on the radar."
Digifanatic: "That too."
???: "Who's here? Some sort of civilized people?"
Julian Sawyer: "And then maybe he can help us get to the top of the mountain so we can get the damn tools. ..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...if you'd call us 'civilized', then sure."
Azure: "That would be the case. Yes."
Julian Sawyer: *Twitch*
Digifanatic: "Tools, right. Thought it was a relic."
Metal Man (GM): ...The refrigerator swings open, and an exact duplicate of the mannequin comes out. I mean, a human that looks like it.
MrMonster: "!!" *The Trulander turns to the direction of the voice, sword ready to cut...*
Metal Man (GM): Except it's wearing some army regalia.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Whoa whoa, Monster. Back off..."
Julian Sawyer: "You the guy that designed this place?"
Metal Man (GM): Torn army regalia. Black with blue rims.
Garrick Fy`aar stares at this guy...
Digifanatic takes a glance as well.
Azure: "What strange clothing... but not any stranger than my own."
???: "...I designed it to find the ultimate people who would save me from this dead place."
MrMonster doesn't back off... He doesn't trust anything in this tower.
Julian Sawyer: "Ah. Mind if I punch you in the head?"
MrMonster: "I'm in line after Julian..."
Digifanatic stares at Julian for a second, and then turns back to normal position.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...wha..."
Maxamillion: "Oh, really? I doubt you could do it. I am Maxamillion Terion, commander of the Solarian space armada!"
Julian Sawyer: "I'll pay you 12,500 coins if you let me punch you in the head."
Digifanatic: "Excuse me... was that your ship that crashed into the mountain?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Guys, back OFF!"
Digifanatic does so.
Maxamillion: "Now then. Take me to my Armada!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...ahem... Mr... Terion, was it?"
Aetos: "Yeah... how?"
MrMonster: "... Some how, I don't think I should back off... This is just some Solarian scum."
Garrick Fy`aar sends a glare toward Aetos...
Julian Sawyer: "Your armada's been reduced to one ship. And that ship ain't in good condition."
Garrick Fy`aar sighs and just steps backwards then. Well, now they've gone and done it...
Maxamillion: "...WHAT? Impossible."
Aetos has no idea what a Solarian is, nor anything to do with the past in this game...
Maxamillion: "Take me to it, or you will all die."
Julian Sawyer: "Wasn't by our doing, o' course. We just found it."
Maxamillion: "I've been waiting..." *Looks at watch* "1035 years for this."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Julian... shut UP!"
MrMonster narrows his eyes and tries to size up this Maxamillion... Mainly if he has any noticeable weapons.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...ahem... now, sir. Listen for a moment."
Azure sighs "Does that sound very civilized... and Julian... isn't helping..."
Metal Man (GM): You notice a weird shotgun-like weapon at his side.
Garrick Fy`aar: "You're not in the same place as the Solarians. Hell, I doubt this is even the same dimension."
Maxamillion: "That's why I made this device." *Points at the weird machine*
Garrick Fy`aar: "No, sir, you misunderst--whoa..."
Maxamillion: "A warp translocator. Out of the hyperdrive of my ship... but I'm missing one component. One I will never find, because some lizard ate it."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...you... you MADE this out of one fricken stunt fighter?!"
Maxamillion: "Yes... I am the top of my class. I created the refrigerator and Cryo Stasis when I found out the horrible truth. I also built the traps into this strange tower."
MrMonster: .oO(Serves you right, Solarian scum...)
Julian Sawyer: "Anyway, you got a way out of this place that isn't filled with electric doors or bottomless pits?"
Maxamillion: "No, I expected you to have some sort of warp I could use to get home. Or a space ship."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Sir, all we have is the technology we're wearing."
Maxamillion: "...I'm going to need it all, then. All of it to make into something..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Now... I MIGHT be able to whip something up..."
Julian Sawyer: "Or we could, y'know, walk out of here. You'd know your own traps, right?"
MrMonster: "You won't even get a single coin off of me."
Maxamillion: "...I've been frozen for a thousand years."
Julian Sawyer: "...Good point."
Maxamillion: "Do you see me remembering things that long back that I intended to forget?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I'm pretty sure we could make something without using our weaponry."
Maxamillion: "...I really don't have time. My fleet is lost without me!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...with all do respect, your fleet is gone."
Julian Sawyer: "Sorry to say, you're fleet's already lost."
Maxamillion: "Not if I warp through time and space!"
Julian Sawyer: "Mentioned that earlier, I believe..."
Aetos: "After 1000 some odd years, don't you think they've... dealt with your loss?"
MrMonster: "Your fleet is probably dead, unless you Solarians have extended your lives with your damned Magitek technology."
Garrick Fy`aar: "There's enough stress on the space-time continum as it is."
Maxamillion: "Now then. Give me all of your technology, or I'll take it from you!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I'm afraid I can't do that... WE can't do that."
Maxamillion: "I'm above you all... a commander! I can tell you whatever I want, and you must do that."
Julian Sawyer: "Sorry, all my stuff's broken."
Azure: *Takes a few steps back an incident in his memory from days long past makes reminds him that he won't back down.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...bull. I'm a commander as well."
Julian Sawyer: "Not very useful either, unless you're still using leather."
Maxamillion: "...Insubordination? Treason! I'm going to write you up to the authority..."
MrMonster: "This Whallerian won't submit to you."
Azure: "A commander with no army. And great he's insane..."
Julian Sawyer: "Which I doubt, with your space-age polymers and all..."
Maxamillion: *Starts typing on the computer*
Garrick Fy`aar: "Sir, if this is going to become violent... could we possibly take this somewhere were we can't damage all the valuable equipment?"
Maxamillion: "...Now my armada will come here to arrest you. Valuable! This is garbage. I made it a long time ago. By now, warp machines should make themselves!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "I don't know about you, but I'm dead set on getting that ship of yours up and running again."
Azure: "Well where either about to be in for a real shock or visa versa."
Maxamillion: "...Really? ...That's impossible, I ruined several unique components building this room! I barely have enough to listen to music on the radio."
Julian Sawyer: "Yeah, Garrick has this ability to... un-ruin them."
Garrick Fy`aar: "I'm good like that. Now, how about we go down into that last room and have at it?"
Julian Sawyer: "He got the heater workin'."
Maxamillion: "...I still must have your weapons. All must be mine! It is high treason to disagree with me! They're... the only technology I've seen... for a thousand years..."
Julian Sawyer: "Seriously, I doubt you still use leather."
Aetos: "How is it high treason if we aren't part of your army... or country... or world..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Enough of this, come on!"
Digifanatic: "He has a point."
Maxamillion: "I'm still a commander. I must salute my country! They might be watching me... testing me... yes. This is all a holographic test! You aren't real... and you aren't either... and you're a robot!"
MrMonster: "... You'll have this blade when I run it through you."
Garrick Fy`aar grabs Azure and Julian and gives them both a rough shove toward the stairs.
Azure: *Sighs.*
Julian Sawyer: "I resent that." *SHOV'D*
Maxamillion: "Some jerk decided to hack into the simulation and pretend to save me..."
Julian Sawyer: "AUGH!"
Azure: "Whoa!"
Maxamillion: "Now then. You want to run your blade by me? Show it to me! I wish to evaluate your worthless technology."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Come on, Aetos... Monster... let's get somewhere a little more roomy..." *He backs up to the stairs as well*
MrMonster: "Die, Solarian!" *The Trulander rushes towards Max in the short space they have and tries to thrust the sword into his hated foe.*
Digifanatic: "And me?"
Azure: "Great... it wasn't enough to leave him... be... he had to attack..."
Metal Man (GM): Anyone wanting to fight this person: SPDs? MrMonster hit Max for 24 damage.
Digifanatic does the same thing as well.
Maxamillion: "How dare you mildly damaging my immortal flesh? I shall tear you to shreds!"
Azure: "Well can't leave him alone." *Turns back around.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...BLAST it, Monster!"
Julian Sawyer: "...Finally!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "If that machine or that cryo chamber or that computer gets messed up, I'll have your HEAD!"
Julian Sawyer: *Heads back up*
MrMonster: "I may not know much about the war between our people, but I do know you Solarians are a plague in this universe!"
Julian Sawyer: "Don't use yer guns, then."
Maxamillion: "I'll plague YOU! EYYYYAAAAAAHHHHRGH!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): He points his hands at various machinery... It rips itself out of the ground and is thrown at MrMonster. Six pieces of machinery go flying at MrMonster. Five SPD checks.
MrMonster attempts to duck, dodge, block, and otherwise avoid the machinery.
Metal Man (GM): Your checks, they are too low.
Julian Sawyer: "...Ok, so DO use your guns. Just waste this freak!"
Metal Man (GM): 770 psychic damage to MrMonster. The immense psychic energy is amazing.
MrMonster is slammed back against the wall near the door, unconsious...
Metal Man (GM): Especially how he basically obliterates MrMonster with debris.
Maxamillion: "Take that! I won't go down this easily. I'll tear you to bits!"
Julian Sawyer: "...Now you done it." *Rushes Maxamillion and gives him one of these! BAM! and one of those! POW! and and how about THIS! KER-SOCKO!(Three Stylish Hits punches)*
Metal Man (GM): You hit him three times. He sits there and takes no damage. It's like a weird field blocked your stylish punches.
Maxamillion: "Hahahahaha! Your special powers fail to hurt me!"
Julian Sawyer: "...Force fields... I HATE FORCE FIELDS!"
Maxamillion: "Force fields? Where?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Knew he was going to say that..."
Maxamillion: "Bah! I'll just shred you anyway."
Garrick Fy`aar draws the M150 and fires one round of shots...
Metal Man (GM): You hit him three times. You hit for full damage.
Garrick Fy`aar just continues firing, Eye Spying him after his shots are done
Metal Man (GM): All hit.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Just hit him with normal stuff! Nothing fancy!"
Azure attempts to mimmic one of this strange Solarian's abilities. As he does he pulls out and x-defend and uses it on himself. He would then charge fire energy within his hands and release it in a fiery dragon fang at Maxamillion adding to there damage he would hope.
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Azure: *61% fire Turn done*
Metal Man (GM): Strange barrier prevents you from mimicking him.
Digifanatic starts off by using an X Acc just incase... He then uses another Fire Punch...
Metal Man (GM): Hit. http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/sony/ps1/CorazonAzul_ff9technomix.mid
Digifanatic then uses a Super Mario Punch on this guy.
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Maxamillion: "You fight well... but it shall be in vain."
MrMonster reappears in a flash of white light and rushes towards the Solarian, his fist enchanted with kinetic energy and filled with vengeance. He slams the Smash Attack into Maxamillion's chest, trying to push him back.
Metal Man (GM): He sits there as you bounce off a psychic barrier.
Garrick Fy`aar: "No! Not into the comp--phew..."
Maxamillion: "Special abilities cannot hurt me!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "STOP TRYING TO BREAK THE TECHNOLOGY, MONSTER!!!!"
Maxamillion: "It is garbage. I doubt it means anything to you."
MrMonster doesn't acknowledge Garrick as his turn comes to an end.
Aetos tries to run up and drill his spear into the guy for both his actions.
Metal Man (GM): Two hits. He hits 779...
Aetos suddenly backs away, not willing to fight. [Set mode: Follow Group]
Maxamillion: "Hah! You cannot kill me!"
Metal Man (GM): He survives. His turn.
Maxamillion: "Now... taste the power of the Solarians!"
Metal Man (GM): He points his hand at Garrick, who is instantly disarmed. Then he points at Julian.
Garrick Fy`aar watches as his gun goes flying into a corner (?)
Metal Man (GM): A countdown timer appears over his head.
Julian Sawyer: *Looks up* "...The hell is this?" *Points*
Metal Man (GM): Then he points at Digi. INT check, Digi. Digi is blasted down by psychic energy. 100 psychic damage.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...you disarmed me?"
Maxamillion: "You still have arms? Damn!"
Digifanatic: "Ouch! I... think I'll be fine..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Well, there IS that..."
Maxamillion: *He opens fire at Garrick's right arm with his shotgun-like weapon*
Azure: "O... boy..."
Metal Man (GM): 50 dark light damage to Garrick.
Garrick Fy`aar growls, his arm hurt apparently. I take it I can't use that arm now?
Metal Man (GM): Oh, you can still use it, it just hurts. The strange guy finishes off with... Well, he runs in front of Garrick and tries to punch him. Critical failure. You may counter-attack him.
Garrick Fy`aar can't punch... but he can kick. He swings his leg up and drops his heel straight onto his noggin.
Maxamillion: "TRICKED YA!"
Metal Man (GM): *BZAP* 25 electric damage. To Garrick. He... faked... a critical miss...
Maxamillion: *He backflips to his position*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...oh your dead... Oh HELL no..."
Maxamillion: "That secret technique has killed many a person. Unfortunately, you're not a weak bum like most people who fight me."
Julian Sawyer: "You picked the wrong person to put a number over their head." *Julian removes his fedora and extends the blade along the brim, and throws it at Max, and rushes him at the same time with a Beat Box, Kicking high and slicing low, and vise versa, then ends it with a Breakdown, breakdance sweeping him then hitting him with a springboard kick*
Metal Man (GM): Three hits. Six more. You beat him around like some sort of dummy.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...dummy. ...crap!"
Maxamillion: "Oh no! My spleen! It's dead!"
Metal Man (GM): He falls down, dead ..The Mannequin stands up.
Garrick Fy`aar: "I knew it!"
Julian Sawyer: *Flips back to the group and catches his hat and returns it to his head*
Maxamillion: "I don't die, I win!"
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Maxamillion: "Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): He steps into fight you."
Garrick Fy`aar: "OH HELL NO!"
Julian Sawyer: *That timer still there? If so, time on it?*
Azure: There's a surprise...*sweatdrop*
Metal Man (GM): That timer is right now at 4.
MrMonster looks to the mannequin... "You Solarian pests are like flies..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "You are DEAD!!."
Julian Sawyer: "Now you're just pissin' me off for the sake of pissin' me off!"
Maxamillion: "How do you think I survived 1000 years? By dying? I get to go first because I died. Yay! Dieeeeeee!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): He concentrates, a lot. The entire room is hit by meteorites.
Julian Sawyer: "!!!"
Garrick Fy`aar: *do I get any penalties for using my right arm with a gun?*
Metal Man (GM): Everybody takes 79 fire damage.
Julian Sawyer: "GAH!"
Maxamillion: "Ahahahahahahaaaaa!!!"
MrMonster falls to his knees, almost dead by that single attack...
Azure: *Geez... is barely stable.* (94%)
Maxamillion: "For the Solarians, you shall all die! You were foolish to think I didn't have a cloning machine."
Metal Man (GM): Despite having another body, you doubt he's gonna last long either.
Maxamillion: "Give me your weapons, before the armada comes, and nobody gets... hurt more."
Julian Sawyer: *Is knocked up and down, landing a generic blue warp portal... Which then turns Red as Julian rises out of it, mighty ticked off.* "You done it now!" *Julian rushes, aiming a powerful haymaker right at Max's head*
Metal Man (GM): You hit it. The barrier is gone, it seems, for now.
Julian Sawyer: *O-O-O-OVERDRIVE!*
Metal Man (GM): You punch the head right off... it keeps on yelling at you.
Maxamillion: "I don't need a head to defeat you!"
Julian Sawyer then reaches out to grab Max Dummy by the...? *Body, whatever.*
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...toss him high!"
Julian Sawyer then rears back again, his fist glowing bright red, and delivers a KO Punch(Wouldn't make sense using the Atlus Toss right now
Gujin|Sleep: *HP Of Max Dummy: HALVED*
Metal Man (GM): The dummy explodes into dust.
Maxamillion: "Aha! My diversion worked!"
Azure: *..........*
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): You see the guy who pretended to die alive.... He kicks the wall out.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Maxamillion: "I will escape you yet! You cannot get me now!"
Azure: "How many bodies..."
Maxamillion: *Leaps out of the tower*
Garrick Fy`aar: "Not today!"
Metal Man (GM): He just leaped to his own probable death.
Julian Sawyer: "...GET BACK HERE!" *Flies after him*
Maxamillion: "...Why did I have to make this 70 feeeet taaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!"
Metal Man (GM): *SMASH*
Julian Sawyer: *Would make sure to stop before hitting the ground, though*
Metal Man (GM): He hits the ground.
Garrick Fy`aar throws out his hand, the M150 flying toward and slapping handle first into his palm. He looks out the Solarian made window and watches...
Maxamillion: "...Ow... my feet."
Julian Sawyer: *Hovers over Max.* "You dead yet?"
Garrick Fy`aar then remember the head of that clone. He pops about...20 shots into it, then looks out the window again
Maxamillion: "I'm feeling a bit too alive to be seeing you. Oh, yeah. Look behind you! Spacecraft!"
Metal Man (GM): The head is pulp, though it was already smashed.
MrMonster: "... I hate Solarians..."
Julian Sawyer: *PERCEPTIVE!*
Azure: "This is quite... confusing..."
MrMonster starts down the tower by going the way they came.
Metal Man (GM): You realize his old spacecraft is falling off of the mountain towards you.
Julian Sawyer: *Cannot be surprise attacked! Bam!* "..."
Digifanatic is revived?
Julian Sawyer: *Moves out of the way*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...NO! I WANT THAT SHIP!"
Metal Man (GM): So you turn to avoid his spacecraft... and he's gone.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): He leaped down that there bottomless pit!
Julian Sawyer: "dammit, that's the second time that's happened!"
Metal Man (GM): People in the tower: The warp machine activates.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Please don't fall over a cliff, please don't fall over a cliff, PLEASE don't fall over a cliff..."
Julian Sawyer: *Flies back up to the group*
Metal Man (GM): The space ship slides peacefully onto the beach and stops there. There's a note onto the machine.
Julian Sawyer: "He jumped into one of those pits."
Digifanatic is revived and quickly uses 100 rings to bring him back to 2/3.
Metal Man (GM): 'Ha ha! I tricked you! While you were beating on my fake mannequin, I leaped to safety. I will give you a consolation prize. You may use this warp to get out of the tower without re-experiencing my traps. And there's this red button people like... yes.' You see a red button near the warp portal.
Julian Sawyer: "...'Ey Garrick, wasn't there some parts back down there you needed?"
Digifanatic: "Oh, thank goodness for that warp..."
Azure: "Don't... hit the button..."
Metal Man (GM): 'I'll be back! You must be hiding something! I won't rest until you send me home!'
MrMonster continues down through the tower, trying to reach the bottom floor.
Metal Man (GM): Signed, Maxamilion.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Yep. I'm gonna go get them. I also am going to dismantle all the stuff in here, making sure to power down the traps."
Metal Man (GM): MrMonster: You notice that the doors are all locked.
Julian Sawyer: "Great. Maybe we can get those tools after that."
Metal Man (GM): You can't go down.
MrMonster: "... I hate Solarians." *He returns to the others.* "Any ideas on how to leave besides falling to our dooms?"
Metal Man (GM): The red button marked 'PUSH' is blinking near the portal.
Julian Sawyer: "Portal."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Through the warp. Push the button if you want."
Julian Sawyer: "Maybe you should press that button."
Digifanatic: "I'll take care of it."
Garrick Fy`aar goes over to the row of computers and starts taking them apart, piece by piece
MrMonster heads through the portal if it seems active.
Metal Man (GM): *WARP* MrMonster reappears at the alter by the lake. Garrick: They're mostly garbage, like he said. He made sure to fry them when he threw them around.
Azure would also take the warp as well. He had his fill of this place
Digifanatic follows into the warp.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...alright, what about..."
Julian Sawyer: "Try the button."
Metal Man (GM): *WARP* Azure and Digi escape the tower of Chaos.
Garrick Fy`aar tries to get to the drive system and the space ship parts from the machine..."
MrMonster: "Damn the Solarians... And their technology." *Walks over to the ship and kicks before realizing something...* "We never did find the blacksmith tools..."
Metal Man (GM): Garrick: You get yourself the drive stuff, that's it. However! The button remains blinking. It looks important.
Julian Sawyer: "...That's it, I'm pressing it." *Does so*
Metal Man (GM): Especially because your dex is beeping back at it.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...did ya press it?"
Metal Man (GM): *PLUNK* The button makes a noise.
Julian Sawyer: "Sounds like it."
Metal Man (GM): You hear power being diverted.
Garrick Fy`aar carries the stuff in a biiiig box over to Julian, looking curiously at the portal...
Metal Man (GM): ...Everything in the tower shuts down, save for the portal.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...wait... no, it can't... let's try... Mark Five?"
Julian Sawyer: "?"
Garrick Fy`aar puts the box down and fiddles with his seemingly broken digital watch...
Julian Sawyer: *Reaches into his back pocket and pulls out his dex, and flips it open, to see if it's still doing what it was doing*
Garrick Fy`aar: "Mark 5...come on, I know power diversion sounds anywhere..."
Julian Sawyer: "You have finely tuned ears..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "I'm good around equipment."
Metal Man (GM): You see the words 'Power Diverted' on both the dex and Mark 5. Nothing else. Also, the word goes away if you move it too far away from the button.
Julian Sawyer: "You're a freak... Alright, so that didn't do anything..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...no, it did."
Julian Sawyer: "They aren't doing anything..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Julian, our Dexes wouldn't even BEEP before. Now we have visual with it."
Julian Sawyer: "Yeah, but if we move them away from the button, we don't."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Hmm..."
Azure: "So Digi where to? Waiting for the others right?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...let me see your Dex."
Metal Man (GM): The button pops open.
Julian Sawyer: *Hands it to him*
Metal Man (GM): Out from under it appears... a box of tools.
MrMonster walks back over to the others... "Should we just give up on this venture or try and get those smithing tools?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...jackpot!"
Metal Man (GM): Musta been the tools he used to repair this stuff...
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): I guess he got to them first, a loooong time ago.
Garrick Fy`aar hands the dex back to Julian and sifts through the tools...
Julian Sawyer: *Takes it*
Metal Man (GM): They're high quality tools. Used for repairing weapons and building them.
Julian Sawyer: "I'm guessing those are the tools we've been looking for..."
Metal Man (GM): And... if you're a madman, you can make weird stuff like Maxamillion did outta them.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Look at this stuff! It's amazing!"
Julian Sawyer: "Eh."
Garrick Fy`aar: "With this, I could rebuild the STADIUM if I had the parts! Quick, let's get this stuff down to the ship and wheel it through the portal back to camp."
Julian Sawyer: "Good. Maybe you can get to work on fixin' Vendetta once we get back. Which box do you want me to carry?"
Garrick Fy`aar grabs the tools, placing them in the box with the drive system "I've got it, no need to worry. Let's go."
Julian Sawyer: "...Or you can carry both. Whatever." *Portal ho!*
Garrick Fy`aar steps in as well.
Metal Man (GM): *PORTAL'D* You're both now at the altar.
Julian Sawyer: "We found the tools."
Metal Man (GM): The portal you came from disappears...
Garrick Fy`aar comes out of the portal dancing.
Digifanatic: "Hey."
Metal Man (GM): Dexes beep once. *BEEP*
Julian Sawyer: *Checks his*
Metal Man (GM): You'd see 'Power diversion complete' on them.
Digifanatic: "What in the...?!" *He takes it out.*
Julian Sawyer: "Maybe that button did do something..."
Metal Man (GM): Then they fade back.
Digifanatic: "Power Diversion Complete? What is that supposed to mean?"
Julian Sawyer: "Yeah, turns out that button was for pressing."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...yes... I KNEW it!"
Digifanatic: "Knew what?"
MrMonster takes out his five year old dex and takes a look at it... "So these things are working now?"
Digifanatic: "The button?"
Azure: "What?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "The dexes have their power cells refilled. I just need to tool around with their wiring."
Julian Sawyer: *Presses a few buttons on the Dex to see if he can pull up Tetris or anything*
Garrick Fy`aar: "With these new tools, shouldn't be much of a problem."
Metal Man (GM): Dex is, like, still fried.
Julian Sawyer: "So, mission accomplished. Let's head back to Kales."
Garrick Fy`aar: "AND I've got the drive system for that ship!"
Metal Man (GM): That ship is sitting right near the portal.
Julian Sawyer: "I'll get that..."
Garrick Fy`aar runs over to the ship and places the boxes GENTLY inside it. Then he pushes it back into the portal
Metal Man (GM): I bet you want to push it into the portal, 'cause it won't do very well to leave it to rust. *WARPD* It goes into the portal.
Julian Sawyer: "...Or not. You can do whatever..." *Heads after Garrick.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "Quick! Before the villagers go after it!" *He jumps in as well*
Julian Sawyer: *PORTALCHUCKS, YO!*
Metal Man (GM): All in all, that freak was annoying but decided to pay you off well for your... mental pain.
MrMonster follows Garrick after putting his Dex back into his pack.
Metal Man (GM): *+5000 EXP for the entire annoying Adventure*
Digifanatic does so as well...
Metal Man writes the title for the chapter: "The Extremely Annoying Adventure."
Garrick Fy`aar reappears in the village, smiling and yelling and w00ting
Julian Sawyer: "Yo! Kales! We got the stuff!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww yeah! Where is that bloody lizard dude?!"
Metal Man (GM): Err, wait ..Samus. I'll make her moves tomorrey.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Kales?! Where are ya?!"
Metal Man (GM): Kales walks over.
Kales Brando: "...What IS that?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "THAT, my friend, is the future!"
Kales Brando: "...And why are you smiling at me like that?"
Julian Sawyer: "'Cause we got stuff."
Garrick Fy`aar grabs Kales in a massive bear hug and swings him around
Julian Sawyer: "Lots of nifty stuff."
Charles Magellean comes along as well. Apparently he and Kales were discussing something.
Kales Brando: "I thought I told you to find those tools... now we have a p----@_@."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Ah, you damn old lizard guy! You RULE!"
Digifanatic also enters...
Charles Magellean: "! Garrick! Show some respect for the Elder."
Kales Brando: "...Right... right... could you put me down now?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Oh, whoops, sorry." *He puts him down, chuckling nervously.*
Kales Brando: "Whatever this is, it looks... odd."
Julian Sawyer: "Geez..."
Digifanatic: "Kales..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Don't worry about it! It'll be awesome once we get it going!"
Kales Brando: "You can keep it. That is your payment."
Julian Sawyer: "Just let Garrick work his magic. You'll see what it's for soon enough."
Digifanatic: "You do not want to know how we had to get this."
Julian Sawyer: "Also, I believe there was something about FREE weapon upgrades, should we get the tools..."
Charles Magellean: "...Where did you guys find a ship like this?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Now, where are those helpers of mine... RODO! JACKI!"
Digifanatic: "Charles, you don't want to know either."
Garrick Fy`aar yells out for the lizard men who help him at the smithy.
Digifanatic: "Trust me. It was insane."
Garrick Fy`aar: "And I'll need Metal too... METAL! Damn it... METAL! GET YOUR DAMN IRON HEAD OVER TO THE FORGE! PRONTO!"
Metal Man comes out. "What? What?"
Garrick Fy`aar starts to push the ship toward the forge, grunting
Charles Magellean: *KER-SMACK*
Julian Sawyer: "Need any help?"
Charles Magellean pistol whips Garrick.
Metal Man: "...That's a museum piece you have there."
Charles Magellean: "Simmer down, geez."
Garrick Fy`aar doesn't even feel it, he's so giddy
Metal Man: "...Why is a Solarian ship from thousands of years ago here on some strange planet we're marooned on?"
Digifanatic: "If anyone needs me, I'll be in my hut..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Better than nothing, Mets! Come on, help me get it running again."
Charles Magellean: "..."
Metal Man: "...How can we do that?"
Azure: "Seems the plots slowly coming together isn't it."
Metal Man: "It looks... like a junker."
Julian Sawyer: "We got parts and tools."
Digifanatic leaves the place and heads for his hut... stressed and relieved all at once...
Julian Sawyer: "Yo! Garrick! Think you can fix something else while you're at it?"
Metal Man: "Well, I can't help too much, that thing's made with Magitek. Or at least, what's left of it."
Charles Magellean grows a large wart in the middle of his forehead, gaining eye swirls.
Garrick Fy`aar: "We got the parts, the tools, and the talent! It's Milla' time! I know a bit of magitek stuff still. I'll be able to yank the magic out if Ari helps me."
Metal Man looks both interested and confused at the same time. He helps Garrick push it.
Julian Sawyer: *Shrugs and helps Garrick push too. Rocket Powered pushing, as he's still in Overdrive.*
Metal Man: "Well, as long as that eyesore isn't in the middle of the street, you can paint it yellow and pretend you're in a submarine for all you want."
Digifanatic: .oO(Boy... what a night. Where's the post office here?)
Garrick Fy`aar: "Sure, sure, Julian. Bring it over to the forge. I need to resort, teach Rodo and Jacki how to use these new tools..."
Charles Magellean: "...Metal... riga flicker."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Make a better anvil... clean this sucker off, turn some copper into wire for the wiring..."
Metal Man: "Is that Solarian for 'We have no bananas?'"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Redo the drive system, probably hook it into my suit to get it running again..."
Julian Sawyer: "Also, you need any help fixing this thing up? I got nothing to do around here, might as well help you."
Metal Man: "...I mean Lunarian. Yes." *He coughs.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "Sure, sure, no problem. It'll be a while..."
Julian Sawyer: "Or we could borrow Ari's Chaos Emerald for the Power Source."
Charles Magellean: "I am not in a toying mood. I'm feeling Psychotic..."
Metal Man: "...Be very careful with it, I hear those things are... ... ... ...likely to get stranded!"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Nah, not the Chaos Emerald."
MrMonster heads over to the forge, bag of cash in one hand and Racualk in the other.
Metal Man: "It can't be... the ancient text book I read in 4th grade predicted this..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "It's got a power crystal already in it."
Julian Sawyer: "So you just need to jump-start it?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Yep. My suit can do it, I'm sure of it."
Julian Sawyer: "Also... we need to show Kales those books we picked up."
Metal Man: "Jump start it? I think you're more likely to appear back on Nintendus and give Kuja a wedgie."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...but first, let's get your weapons done, shall we?"
Metal Man: "I'm surprised the power crystal works..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Oh, it works."
Azure: "You mean these?" *Azure was actually looking over the pages as Julian and everyone was talking.*
Metal Man (GM): Azure: More wiring and technical stuff in those.
Julian Sawyer: "Eh, I don't need any work done right now. Just need Vendetta fixed. It copped out while I was fighting some kind of holo-magic ape-knight."
Metal Man: "...Holograms? ...Just who were you fighting, anyway?"
Garrick Fy`aar finally gets the sucker to the forge. He pants for a minute before glancing around...
Charles Magellean walks away, still feeling Psychotic.
Julian Sawyer: "The damn thing couldn't decided if it was solid or not."
Azure: "I still can't figure out much. When it comes to higher level technology I'm basically out of the picture..."
Metal Man: "E Li Three himself would approve of... holographic apes..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...where ARE those too..."
Metal Man: "...But he wasn't a Solarian."
MrMonster: "Hrm... Garrick, are you busy fixing up the forge right now?"
Julian Sawyer: "Anyway," *Reaches into his back pocket, pulls out Vendetta's hilt.*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...meh. Whatever. Come on, come on, step right up."
Julian Sawyer: "You mind taking a look at this?"
MrMonster: "My greatsword needs a bit of work done..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Just let me..."
Metal Man: "...You still hold onto that light saber? And I thought I was a pack rat."
Julian Sawyer: "It's a great weapon. Took down Sky in one swift move."
Metal Man whistles innocently while hiding his original Quester papers. "Yes. Pack rat."
Azure: "All I can say is it just talks more and more and more about tech information as we go on. Someone with a more advanced perspective... may be able to look these over better." *He holds out the books.* "Anyone?"
Metal Man looks at the books. "...You've got yourself a modern architectural library."
Julian Sawyer: "So we can build stuff better now?"
Metal Man: "I don't know what that's doing up in some ancient ruins. Well, what's left of it can teach people who don't know how to make modern houses how to make slightly better huts. Not very much... just some primitive lighting, you know. Maybe a few doors and maybe plumbing. But... how do you make light bulbs without a source of glass, tungsten, or electricity?" *He scratches his chin.*
Julian Sawyer: "Also, our Dexes got powered up some how. Mine for it, I'd guess."
Metal Man: "Probably some funky Magitek stuff. It has that weird way of manipulating 'dead' objects. I've heard it can revive dead people."
Charles Magellean with his warped wart, proceeds onto the stage of the Arena.
Julian Sawyer: "Like, zombies?"
Metal Man: "Make them alive like they never died."
Garrick Fy`aar stands proudly in the center of his forge. All in all, it was a bit of a dump, but it had the homely touches of a semi-good smith, and getting better as he did more. There was a very large tool rack, filled with hammers and clamps. Garrick immediately takes the tools and starts hanging them here and there for easy access. The anvil is well worn with hammering, but strong enough that it won't break for a good long while.
Julian Sawyer: "Oh."
Garrick Fy`aar: *--coals smoldering a little in it stands right in reach near the anvil. Various projects lie here and there. Attempted barrels of guns, rifled somewhat. Easy projects, like door hinges, horse shoes, gate locks, padlocks, all sorts of stuff. There were also plenty of swords, axes, and shields around. A failed attempt at a helmet lies over near a work table, a piece of paper with notes beside it. All in all, very Garrick like.*
Julian Sawyer: *Whistles* "Nice job, Garrick. Lizard guy's gonna appreciate this..."
Metal Man: "Just be careful. The technology is able to kill as quickly as it revives people."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Alright... where ARE those two workers?! ROLO!! JACKI!!."
Kales Brando: "They will be back soon."
Garrick Fy`aar growls...
Kales Brando: "It's just that we didn't expect you to come so early."
Julian Sawyer: "Why not? We're awesome, get stuff done, y'know?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Sent them off for more ore, did you? Well, I was needing more copper... wanted to try that bronze armor..."
MrMonster: "How about testing out that forge? I've got plenty of gold for it..."
Metal Man (GM): You can all upgrade your weapons--first 3 upgrades free (past what they are currently) Vendetta? Consider it repaired.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...Okay Julian, give it here."
Julian Sawyer: *Hands the saber casing over to him*
Charles Magellean: "...Make... them... paaaayy..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Hmm..."
Julian Sawyer: "It won't ignite."
Metal Man (GM): FYI, Charles: Only the spacecraft is magitek.
Garrick Fy`aar looks it over, then sets it down and tosses his jacket onto a hook. His first job, that. A hook and some screws to put it in the post. He pulls off a apron and a tool belt and looks at it again
Metal Man (GM): The rest is general tools, which could easily be used to make either, depending upon what you want. As well as general parts.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...hmmm... Monster, hand me that tetreon emitter."
MrMonster blinks, not quite sure what that is... "Ummm... What exactly does one look like?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...the... the thing that looks like a wrench. Lopsided wrench."
MrMonster: "Ah..." *The Trulander pockets his money, looks about, grabs someone that looks close to a lopsided wrench, and hands it to Garrick.* "I hope that's one..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Yeah, that's it... okay..." *He takes it, fiddles with the saber... looks it over... fiddles some more... takes out a hammer and pounds the base of the casing.* "There."
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Garrick Fy`aar picks it up and flicks the switch *BWEEEM. He nods, puts the saber out, then hands it to Julian* "Good as new. Just be more CAREFUL with it... Robotnik was crazy, but he was a genius."
Julian Sawyer: "You're a freak..." *Takes his saber* "Not my fault holo-magic ape-knights cause it to short out..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "I'm a freak that fixed your favorite weapon. Now... Monster, I believe you wanted me to look at something?"
Julian Sawyer: "I wouldn't say favorite..."
MrMonster: "Yes..."
Julian Sawyer: *Replaces saber in his back pocket.*
MrMonster hands Garrick his one-sided greatsword as well as a sack with 2500 coins.
Garrick Fy`aar whistles... "Good craftsmanship... ...well, what do you want done to it?"
MrMonster: "I think Racualk needs a few upgrades... Thankyou... I am not sure who made it... My king gave it to me."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Speed it up, sharper edge, some magicy stuff? What?"
MrMonster: "The ability to stop it from being stolen (Theft-proof), to enhance my accuracy (Lock-On), and to instandly unsheath it (Quickdraw)."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...what's it's level?"
MrMonster: "Its power isn't that great at the moment... Just a normal weapon." (Rank 6.)
Garrick Fy`aar: "...with the enhancements I'll make on it, it'll be right on the edge between a enhanced weapon and a super weapon... It's going to cost 10,000 coins for the whole lot."
MrMonster: "I'm sure you've the resources to lower that cost a bit, don't you?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...true... true, yeah. I've got enough. Alright. 2500."
MrMonster hands Garrick the money.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Okay then." *He places that money into a large bag and into a makeshift safe.*
MrMonster: "How long do you think that'll take you? The night?"
Azure: "Do you mind upgrading my gauntlets as well? There only minor at most. I still feel these can still be taken from me. I'd like that changed (theft-proof). Also I notice I slight resistance the air which I'd like to change so I can hit my opponent easier without the need to lock on. (homing) Think you can do it?" *He waits until Mr. Monster is done of course before asking all of this.*
Julian Sawyer: "Hmmm..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Let's see... anti-theft... accuracy would mean a more narrow blade... up the sheath for the quicker draw... ...yeah, the night. I'll set it out for you tomorrow morning to pick up."
Julian Sawyer: "Yo, Garrick, think you can take another commission for me?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Hold up, hold up. Alright, hold on."
MrMonster: "Then I'd also like you to hone the edge of my scimitar." (Add Modifier (Speed) to To-Hit by 2.)
Azure: "Ok then."
MrMonster hands Garrick another 5,000.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Done and done, Monster."
MrMonster also hands Garrick his scimitar, Miirnalk. "Thanks, Garrick."
Garrick Fy`aar: "No problem. Just make sure you come back, heh. Azure, no problem either, just leave them there. What do you need, Julian?"
MrMonster: "There's no way I'd forget them... I'll be off now... Chances are Aribar will want to know what has happened recently." *He says his goodbyes and heads back to his hut.*
Azure sits his Nexus Gauntlets down with a note for the creation of a new weapon. The note entails everything needed as well as a large sum of money left behind. "If any of its a problem talk to me once you're down. Ok Garrick."
Julian Sawyer: *Takes Vendetta out of his back pocket again.* "I've been noticing... this is a lightsaber, right? It should be able to be drawn fairly quickly... but it doesn't? Think you can do something to fix that (Quickdraw)? Maybe make it faster to wield, too? (Add Attack, X1)"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...hmmm... Yeah, I can do that as well."
Julian Sawyer: "Sweet. Here ya go." *Hands Vendetta over to him*
Garrick Fy`aar takes it and places it next to the other weapons "Okay... time to get to it." *He will be busy for the next several DAYS working on all this stuff.*
Julian Sawyer: "I'll just leave you to your work then. Call me when you're getting ready to fix the ship, 'kay?"
