Super Smash Quest - Story - Chapter 231: Red Buttons
Date: 6:42:27 PM, August 13th; 3:40:53 PM, August 16th, 2005.
Tridus: "...Did anyone get the name of that intergalatic cruiser?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...you ever want me to fix your bloody saber again, you'll change your tone."
Charles Magellean: "Digi, digi, digi. When will you learn to stay out of other people's arguments?"
Metal Man: "Get up... you're lucky, had those people been around longer, I wouldn't have had enough power to make you more alive again."
Tridus: "Oh... okay. Thanks... ...for not looting my body."
Metal Man: "Don't mention it."
Digifanatic: "Fine, Charles. I'll be quiet."
Julian Sawyer: *Pockets the remains of Vendetta.*
Charles Magellean: "Thaunk you, Dove."
Azure: "Not that all this is warm and cozy. How about we... just get out of this spot..."
Metal Man abruptly walks away from Tridus, and Tridus, vice versa... they still don't want to be seen together. "Hey Charles. Did my wand work? You seem less dead."
Digifanatic: "But... I just don't like these kinds of conflicts."
Metal Man taps the wand a bit. It catches on fire. Then he blows the fire out. "Stupid Orlando Florida hologram."
Garrick Fy`aar sighs and leans against the railing of the bridge, checking over his guns and armor, making sure they're all fine from the maze.
Charles Magellean: "I dunno. Lemme whack something and we'll see if it works again."
Metal Man (GM): Garrick: Unless Nick says otherwise, they are.
MrMonster perks up when he hears Florida's name, but just counts it off as something to ask Aribar after this mission. The Trulander starts towards the other side of the room again.
Metal Man (GM): Since you didn't really get a chance to make those two clowns angry.
Digifanatic starts walking down the bridge again...
Metal Man: "Well, we're here. I'm feeling a bit bushed from that encounter, and the rest of you look like hell."
Azure uses 100 rings giving back the life he lost.
MrMonster: "That's how I feel... But we have to continue."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Let's just go, then."
Julian Sawyer: *Pops a Ring PEZ Tablet to get a life back*
Charles Magellean: "We can either go forward... or go right back out where we came."
Garrick Fy`aar immediately starts off, peeved off in more ways than one.
Metal Man follows, his metallic feet clanking. He seems far more... tough... than before.
Julian Sawyer: *Moves towards the end of the bridge, still vengeful and vowing to break the Jesters' faces in.*
Tridus: "Oh wait! Metal! Here's... this useless potion. I'm sure it's poisonous."
Metal Man: "...Right." *Takes it*
Tridus: "...Do not mention it to anyone!" *Looks around and falls back into line*
Charles Magellean goes onward.
Metal Man (GM): You begin walking towards the door. Metal begins drinking the blue potion, which he badly needed. Not that I'm gonna have him do all your battles for ya or something. Now then. you reach... the door. You know there's nobody to interfere now; they'd have died from all the explosions and stuff that happened in that battle. The door... is extremely familiar.
Azure: "So... who's... gonna go first..."
Metal Man (GM): In fact, most of you remember opening it. All of you do.
Digifanatic: "Oh boy..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I'll go."
Charles Magellean speaks with Metal.
Metal Man: "So weird. This door... it has the look of a door we've all used before."
Digifanatic: "If this isn't another trip to the past..."
Metal Man turns to Charles.
Azure: "Hmmm."
Garrick Fy`aar walks up to the door, opening it whichever way is best. By nob, by sliding it, by prying it open, or just kicking it in.
Charles Magellean: "Two things. One: I'm beginning to hate familiar scenery that I can't remember. Two: That fight with jesters Zorn and Thorn made me realize something. If we're gonna survive even tougher battles, I'm gonna need to find a way to reclaim the power of the Bowser Necklaces."
Metal Man (GM): None needed at all: The door slides open, with that classic lab feel. Inside, you see a large lobby. What used to be one, at least.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I knew it."
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): Various holes in the wall with roughly placed doors and a force-field surrounded elevator in the middle. Tall ceiling, torn up old floor.
Metal Man: "You could always become a Quester again. It's helped me a lot."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Metal, would you stop chit-chatting with Charles and LOOK at this?"
MrMonster: "... Whatever this place is, it has seen better days..."
Charles Magellean: "I'll pass. It's too confin---coming!"
Metal Man (GM): The hanging, often damaged or flickering fluorescent lights create a mood of unease.
Metal Man follows.
Digifanatic: "Quite an odd room..."
Charles Magellean looks to what Garrick refers to.
Metal Man: "Woah. Look what we have here!"
Charles Magellean: "...Satellite remains?"
Julian Sawyer: "...What? What do we have?"
Digifanatic: "Sounds like something we blew up..."
Azure: "Why does this look..."
Metal Man: "Some old technological place that must have exploded."
Digifanatic: "Or something someone blew up..."
Metal Man (GM): 5 doors are in this room, including the one you entered from.
Garrick Fy`aar glances to everyone, then rolls his eyes and picks the nearest door, walking inside.
Julian Sawyer: *Heads for the one on the far right*
Metal Man (GM): Choices: North, East, Southwest, West, Northwest.
Azure goes west.
Julian Sawyer: *East.*
Metal Man: "Wait!" *He stops everyone going in all directions.*
Digifanatic also goes west.
Azure stops for a moment before he goes to the door.
Metal Man: "We can't split up here! It's... like... too complex."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...of coures."
Metal Man: "And... you know... the horror movies?"
Garrick Fy`aar still goes to the west door.
Digifanatic: "Yeah..."
Metal Man: "Splitting up means death."
Digifanatic backs off a bit...
Azure: "What's a horror movie."
Charles Magellean: "You mean this is like the Via Purrrrrrifico; doors beyond doors?"
Metal Man: "One where everyone dies when they split up."
Metal Man: "And to make sure Garrick doesn't die, we must follow him." *He follows after Garrick.*
Tridus: "Bah." *Follows*
Charles Magellean: "A good reply."
MrMonster: "safety in numbers..." *Follows.*
Julian Sawyer: "..." *Grumbles various things and heads West instead of East.*
Digifanatic follows...
Charles Magellean: "Safety in the knowing that there are numbers, actually."
Metal Man (GM): The door slides open with... more mist coming out of it. These doors must not be functioning well.
Charles Magellean shifts his eyes around to a hidden techno beat in the lair and follows.
Metal Man (GM): This room... is square-shaped, and full of electronics. It is tilted; one side of the room is higher than the other. Several racks full of ancient looking machinery are overhead.
Azure: "I never do feel comfortable in these places..."
Metal Man (GM): Some computers are also around; all without power.
Garrick Fy`aar immediately, even in the crappy mood he's in, starts to work on the computers...
Metal Man (GM): A forlorn half of an orb, the exterior of which covered in white paint, lays on the floor. It also has a weird notch on the rim for something.
Digifanatic looks at the orb...
Charles Magellean: "!!"
Julian Sawyer: "..." *Picks it up*
Metal Man (GM): Garrick: No power... seems as if this area has none. It is light and feels smooth.
Charles Magellean shrieks with a mixture of laughter and whinnying of a horse.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...Locos, shut up... damn it, there's no power around here."
Julian Sawyer: *Looks it over*
MrMonster narrows his eyes and glances at Locos.
Charles Magellean: "...What did you call me?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "I said Locos."
Nick Caligo (GM): Julian: You'd notice that it seems to have a lattice of rectangular projections covering the inside--it appears that this half must've been hollow.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Charles Magellean resists turning towards his evil tendencies.
Nick Caligo (GM): A hinge lies on the side opposite the notch.
Julian Sawyer: "Must go to something..."
Charles Magellean: "Sorry, it's just that seeing an orb like that reminded me of Smithy's Doomsday orb."
Metal Man: "It might be a good thing..."
Julian Sawyer: "Some king of switch..."
Azure: "...nah... can't be..."
Metal Man: "No power means no robot attacks."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...come on. Nothing in here works."
Digifanatic: "Never know..."
Julian Sawyer: *Exits the room and heads for the East one*
Metal Man (GM): There is a door to the south nearby. It is locked. Julian: do you still exit with knowledge of the locked door?
Garrick Fy`aar stands up and makes to leave, heading for the south door then.
Metal Man walks over to it as well.
Julian Sawyer: "..." *Heads over to the South door to see what locks it.*
Metal Man (GM): It's a common lab door, but it won't open. There's a window in the top of it.
Julian Sawyer: *Looks in*
Metal Man (GM): On the other side you see a bunch of mini generators and a control panel with glowing buttons on it.
Digifanatic looks for any means of unlocking it besides the window...
Metal Man (GM): That room has power, too.
Julian Sawyer: "Power room."
Metal Man (GM): Digi: INT check.
Julian Sawyer: "It's a power room."
Charles Magellean waits in the 'center' of the tilted room, but facing away from the orb.
Metal Man (GM): You stare at the window, wishing you had the ability to turn into liquid and seep under the door.
MrMonster's wallet feels roughly 2000 coins lighter, but he doesn't seem to notice the weight difference. The Trulander looks at the door. "Should we try to force it open, or try not to 'destroy the holy ruins'?"
Julian Sawyer: *Looks to see what's locking it*
Metal Man: "Holy? Hah. Holy ruins aren't filled with jerks and hallucinations."
Julian Sawyer: *Has the half-orb, BTW*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I'm going to check the other rooms, see if there's a locking switch around here."
Metal Man (GM): Julian: The door is a sliding type with no handle. No power = no opening.
Charles Magellean: "Take a buddy with you."
Metal Man (GM): It cannot open without power.
Garrick Fy`aar heads for the East door, not really giving a crap to what Metal said about getting separated.
Metal Man: "Yes, we don't want... death... to plague us all."
Julian Sawyer: "...eh..."
Charles Magellean: "What happened to Garrick?"
Julian Sawyer: *Heads for the East door, which he wanted to enter in the first place*
Metal Man (GM): Okay then. Let's split this up the old fashioned way. Meanwhile, the rest of the Questers are puzzled by the mysterious locked door.
Metal Man: "So then... uhhh... Azure. And MrMonster."
Tridus: "And me!"
Azure: "...hmmmmm."
Metal Man: "We have to find a way to open this danged door."
Charles Magellean: "What I need is a split-personality. Surely they would be able to have answers I couldn't."
Azure: "I'm not a fan of blowing stuff up. Maybe there's a key or something somewhere?"
MrMonster: "Unless we somehow find a way to activate the power, we can't get through that door without destroying something."
Digifanatic had gone East.
Charles Magellean: "That's where fire comes in handy."
Metal Man: "Hmmm..."
Tridus: "I know!"
Metal Man (GM): Tridus discovers the secret failsafe to the door and activates it. The door falls out and onto the floor.
Azure: "If that's the case." *He puts his right hand on his chin and rubs it* "Then don't those metal creations come alive? Or he could do that..."
Charles Magellean: "And it just so happens, tha---...Tridus opens the door."
Tridus: "No power needed."
Charles Magellean: "...Solarians." *He snorts furiously.*
MrMonster: "... Good job." *The Trulander takes this time to sheath his scimitar and go to enter this room.*
Metal Man and Tridus enter the next room.
Metal Man (GM): This room has the sound of generators. the console looks complex... and says two things.
Azure: *Enters the next room.*
Metal Man (GM): 'ELEVATOR FIELD PYLON A ONLINE'
Charles Magellean: "While I am against donkey punching... Lord Bahamut doesn't have eyes in the back of his neck."
Metal Man (GM): 'EXTERIOR FIELD PYLON A OFFLINE'
Charles Magellean enters as the final person.
Metal Man (GM): The controls are simple. A bunch of random, weird, multicolored buttons.
Azure: "And this means... what the heck is a pylon... offline... online... my head..." *He just sighs*
Metal Man (GM): There's a purple button of the same color as the field of the elevator. And a green one which you don't know what it does. And a red button which looks fun to press.
MrMonster: "... I am not sure what a pylon is, but I am guessing that it has something with the force field surrounding the elevator."
Charles Magellean: "What I wouldn't do for some of my Gargoyle Stew."
Metal Man: "These buttons look important."
Azure: "That doesn't sound like a pleasant mix..."
MrMonster: "I suggest we press that button and check to see if the force field in the main room is down." *The Trulander points to the purple button while saying this.*
Metal Man: "Who shall be Gibby today?"
MrMonster: "Of course, we should probably explore this floor before going to other floors..." *He steps back a step, declining... Especially since he has never heard of a Gibby.*
Charles Magellean: "Why not all three at once and get rid of the suspense?"
Metal Man: "I don't know, one button could be dangerous."
Azure: "I had one experience with buttons in a tower. I would rather not... once again."
Metal Man (GM): You guys all hear a BANG off towards the East.
Metal Man: "I wonder what they're doing."
Charles Magellean: "Time for the purple button." *He presses it.*
Azure: "Fight I'd guess. Or someone just go frustrated on something."
Metal Man (GM): You press it. You hear a hum going down. It now says 'ELEVATOR FIELD PYLON A OFFLINE'
MrMonster awaits to see if anything happens in this room when Charles presses that purple button. If nothing does happen, the Trulander heads out to the main room to see if anything happened to that elevator. He also tells the others that he'll be back in a second.
Charles Magellean: "Force field system down. We can leave now."
Metal Man (GM): Okay, one second. There is an unlocked door to the South in this room. Something did happen in this room, so I assume MrMonster stayed inside. The force fields are both powered down now. Or at least, the pylons are.
Azure: "Ok..."
Metal Man: "Where to next?"
MrMonster: "I think that we should go to the others and make sure that they're okay."
Charles Magellean: "Digi's there, so Garrick and Julian are fine."
Metal Man: "Perhaps... all this splitting up bothers me. But we should look in that door." *He points at the unlocked door to the South.*
Charles Magellean: "Look in one final door, then we meet back to the center."
MrMonster heads over to open that door.
Azure: *Follows behind them*
Charles Magellean shadily tip toes to MrMonster's location.
Metal Man follows.
Metal Man (GM): You walk down a hallway which is twisted diagonally. It's disorienting but functional. Then... you enter a large, square room, with an unlocked door to the north. In this room isa single terminal at the back wall, and two desks which look like somebody stole everything off of.
Charles Magellean: "...Fine, we can continue."
Metal Man: "Ooh! Another computer!"
Metal Man (GM): The computer is online, and... ...well, it looks functional.
Azure: "Bah... I must learn about these things."
MrMonster enters this room and looks about. I'll assume they entered the room by a door in the north wall. The Trulander takes a quick peak behind the unlocked door to see if it is just a closet or something similar, or something more.
Metal Man (GM): It's the main lobby... This door leads you into the main lobby; it's the Southwest door.
MrMonster: "Huh... I found a shortcut back to the lobby." *The Trulander leaves the door open and heads over to that computer terminal.*
Charles Magellean: "We just ended two doors."
Metal Man (GM): You also see... in the lobby.... Two pylons are off. Two others provide a shield around the elevator. You get to the terminal. It is blinking a bit. You see 'Warning: Severe damage to all computer resources...' Several grayed out icons... And then one last one, which is 'System Log' which is not grayed out.
MrMonster: "... I can't make heads or tails of this..." *Mr. Monster backs up to allow other more knowledgable people access to the terminal.*
Metal Man (GM): The lights flicker. You hear a humming outside.
Charles Magellean: "Ooohhhh... this is killing me on the inside!"
Metal Man looks at it. "It's just a log. Not much... sadly." *He presses a button.*
Metal Man (GM): 'Log... Fatal error... damage... ...Recovering from memory' The lights dim. A light or two explodes nearby. 'Danger... power fluctuation in extreme.'
Azure: "That's bad? Right?"
Charles Magellean: "Power down the terminal, Metal. I think those goofballs did something that's gonna prevent us from reading this log."
Metal Man: "...Someone's monkeying around with a high power-using item."
MrMonster: "I believe so..."
Metal Man (GM): You hear an explosion in the distance. The lights flicker again. Two hums power down. and the lights return to normal.
Charles Magellean: "Now I know they did something. Okay, we can read it now."
Metal Man (GM): '...Power normalcy is back.'
Azure: "Well... they're not flickering. Open it up."
Metal Man (GM): 'Log procedure... activated.' It then begins to show normal messages. First, of a normal day. Traffic on the computer network. Then... the log starts displaying stuff that's freaky. 'Warning: Explosion has destroyed defense network. Warning: Electrical fire in Floor 3. Danger: Generators overloaded.'
Charles Magellean: "Oh goody. How like a Quester."
Metal Man (GM): Then a bunch of gibberish.
Metal Man: "This is a log, not what's happening now.'"
Charles Magellean: "Okay, I'll bite."
Metal Man (GM): 'Then... it displays weird gibberish... And then... more warning messages. 'Danger: Unattended restart successful. All systems at 5% and climbing. Maximum stability is 20%.'
MrMonster narrows his eyes and glances over to Charles. "If you despise us so much why do you follow us?"
Metal Man (GM): 'Unknown intruder has deleted confidential files.'
Charles Magellean: "Like 'Pac-man Split-Screen level' weird or 'You' weird?" *He looks to MrMonster.* "Marooned like the rest of you."
Metal Man (GM): 'It then finally finishes. 'Log terminated by unknown process--important data lost.'
Charles Magellean: "Gonna donkey punch you Metal unless I have an answer."
MrMonster mutters something under his breath and goes back to reading the screen.
Metal Man: "Weird? Dunno. I'd advise against punching me, Mr. Dead."
Charles Magellean: "Thank you. Well let's just make sure that it doesn't happen, okay?"
Metal Man: "This terminal is busted... all I see is this. Something blasted this place, shut it down, then reactivated it later. In the shutdown time having confiscated confidential files."
Charles Magellean: "So how long are we gonna have to be here?"
Metal Man: "Until we find some nice artifacts."
Azure: "So they needed information. Got in and then out. Wonder what they where looking for."
Metal Man: "Dunno... we should look around some more."
MrMonster heads out into the lobby.
Charles Magellean: "The information is irrelevant to our mission. Let us leave to find the others."
Metal Man heads out to the main hallway... one of the shield pylons on the elevator that was deactivated before is now exploded. Dead. Melted. "I guess that's what the explosion was."
Azure: "One would hope not."
Metal Man (GM): You have yet to try the North door; you saw the East door be entered by the others a while ago.
Charles Magellean follows the others back to the lobby.
MrMonster: "Let's try that door." *He points to the northern door.*
Charles Magellean: "Agreed. The process of elimination is nearly done." *He leads towards the door this time.*
Azure: "We could always split up." *He would say as he heads toward this next door.*
MrMonster follows Charles.
Metal Man (GM): You see another pylon turn off while you're at it.
Tridus: "...Good thing we didn't miss this, guys."
Metal Man (GM): You hear Tridus from behind... In the south room. You see him... having found a purple button on that terminal. He presses it... the force field around the elevator is gone.
MrMonster turns around. "Huh... Good job."
Tridus: *Goes to the others*
Metal Man: "So then... we need to get the others here."
Metal Man (GM): Suddenly, another of the shield pylons explodes. You hear two other explosions nearby as well... You enter... the North room. One comptuer is in here, amongst charred ashes and destroyed bookcases. It has a message on it. '...SOS... SOS... SOS... SOS... SOS... SOS...'
MrMonster hopes they don't meet whoever destroyed this place...
Metal Man (GM): 'We have been overwhelmed. Requesting backup immediately. Our security system has failed.' Some more static... And before we continue on the main group, here's what the East Room people did while you guys were doing stuff: Digi and Julian it is. And Garrick. Okay then. You guys walk East... East Door people: You enter... a computer lab. There's a desk in the center with empty beakers on it. There's four computers , two on each side. At the end of the lab, there's a locked door to the North and an open one down South.
Digifanatic walks over to one of the computers...
Julian Sawyer: "..." *Checks the desk*
Garrick Fy`aar takes another computer, checking it for power...
Metal Man (GM): All the computers are on, displaying cryptic messages.
Digifanatic: "Okay..."
Metal Man (GM): Garrick: it's powered on. It also is displaying a message, which says 'Sysalert 2.382 intruder destruction of main network. All defenses at defcon 1. Act90#82FO 2@9f $ fSWO2092842@$ 24129 v !@$9412' Error.Sim.45 It repeats that every time you try to use it.
Julian Sawyer: *And the desk?*
Garrick Fy`aar: "...hm." *He checks to see if the other computers are doing the same.*
Digifanatic: "Well, these are useless so far, until we find something to hack into."
Metal Man (GM): The desk has three empty, dry, water-spotted beakers. Computer 2 says
Julian Sawyer: *Any openable draws?*
Metal Man (GM): 'Danger. Defenses compromised. Hard drive destr--3@#9238942@$ 2093932 92$&$#(@ 1212 1-12 92' Shutdown.28.Sim
Digifanatic goes to the 4th comp.
Metal Man (GM): Fourth comp. 'Error. Reboot impossible. Network resources terminated. Transfer of file Data458DRO failed.' Error.Sim.110
Digifanatic: "Yeah, these are shot."
Julian Sawyer: *Any drawers on the desk?*
Metal Man (GM): Third one is another blase` one. Julian: INT check. 'Danger. Power outage imminent. Increase power to res2021032#@#@319123031031' Error.Sim.29
Garrick Fy`aar: "...it's shot, but it seems as if something pretty bad happened here."
Julian Sawyer: "As if it isn't obvious..."
Digifanatic: "Surely..."
Metal Man (GM): Julian: You find a secret button. You press it, revealing... a drawer. It slides open, then falls onto the floor. BANG.
Julian Sawyer: "...Hey, I found somethin'." *Picks the drawer up*
Metal Man (GM): The contents are as follows: One piece of paper with writing... One box of tic-tacs that have turned to dust... And a melted key.
Digifanatic takes he piece of paper...
Julian Sawyer: *Checks out the Paper*
Digifanatic: "See if this has something..."
Metal Man (GM): It says... 'Official orders for experiment 20a. One box of flux capacitors. One set of neutrino tubes. Five boxes of phazon.'
Julian Sawyer: "...Phazon?"
Metal Man (GM): 'Three cases of silly putty.'
Garrick Fy`aar: "Phazon?"
Metal Man (GM): 'One bottle of super glue.'
Garrick Fy`aar goes over to check the paper, raising an eyebrow in question?
Digifanatic gets a small chuckle at the silly putty.
Metal Man (GM): 'One jar of pickles.'
Julian Sawyer: "...What the hell were they planning to do?"
Metal Man (GM): The part where someone would sign is ripped off... Besides... what looks like a W. Or....
Digifanatic: "Noooooooo clue..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...fluz capacitors..."
Metal Man (GM): Is it an F?
Julian Sawyer: "...W? Or F?"
Metal Man (GM): You can't tell, it's some messed up handwriting.
Julian Sawyer: "They use those in time machines, right?"
Digifanatic: "Probably. I don't know that offhand."
Garrick Fy`aar: "They're used in time machines, yeah..."
Julian Sawyer: "...So what's a neutrino tube? And Phazon?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "Phazon is a radioactive material from Nintendus."
Digifanatic: "Don't know about those tubes..."
Julian Sawyer: "Huh..."
Digifanatic: "Ah yeah..."
Julian Sawyer: "Any luck with the computers?"
Digifanatic: "Nope."
Metal Man (GM): The computers continue displaying their various detailed but useless errors.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Whatever happened, completely fried the system."
Julian Sawyer: *Tries picking up the key*
Metal Man (GM): You pick it up. It looks weird and useless.
Julian Sawyer: "This might come in handy somewhere..."
Metal Man (GM): Something caustic melted it...
Julian Sawyer: *Pockets it* "Anyway, south?"
Garrick Fy`aar: "...what about North? And Northwest?"
Digifanatic: "Might as well..."
Garrick Fy`aar: "Or one of those two doors." *He points to the North and South ones in this room*
Julian Sawyer: "because there is an open door to the South in this room."
Digifanatic: "Yeah..."
Garrick Fy`aar heads to the southern door of this room.
Metal Man (GM): It opens up...
Julian Sawyer: *Heads that way*
Metal Man (GM): You see a room full of old crates.
Digifanatic follows Garrick in.
Metal Man (GM): Toasted old crates. Somebody stole everything outta here... But! There's a control panel in here.
Digifanatic: "I remember something with a load of crates."
Metal Man (GM): It says 'ELEVATOR SHIELD PYLON B ONLINE'
Julian Sawyer: "That's your jurisdiction, Garrick."
Digifanatic: "But not that panel in the same room..."
Metal Man (GM): And 'EXTERIOR SHIELD PYLON B OFFLINE' There's a purple (Same color as elevator field) button, a green one, and a red one.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...hm." *He tries to figure out just what this is...*
Digifanatic walks over to the buttons, doesn't touch them, but looks around for anything written on or near them.
Metal Man (GM): INT check, indeed. Besides those two messages on the LCD screen? Nothing.
Digifanatic: "Well... should I press one to see what happens?"
Metal Man (GM): You think... It is an ice cream machine! Press purple for purple ice cream.
Garrick Fy`aar frowns.
Metal Man (GM): Press green for poison ice cream. Press red to explode violently.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...some sorta shield."
Julian Sawyer: "Eh." *Presses the purple one*
Metal Man (GM): You hear a humming and something turning off. 'ELEVATOR SHIELD PYLON B OFFLINE'
Julian Sawyer: "...Now what about the other two buttons?"
Digifanatic: "May I?"
Julian Sawyer: *Backs off*
Digifanatic: "Apparently that purple does act like the elevator..." *He looks to see what color that Exterior Shield message is, if possible.*
Metal Man (GM): It is greenish color of LCD writing.
Digifanatic: "Okay..." *He tries the green one.*
Metal Man (GM): *HUM* 'EXTERIOR SHIELD PYLON B ONLINE' The lights flicker.
Digifanatic: "Well, that leaves the red one..."
Julian Sawyer: "...Anyone gonna try Red?"
Metal Man (GM): You hear a humming outside.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...turn it off."
Digifanatic: (trailing off) "Uh... exterior shield..."
Garrick Fy`aar presses the purple one again.
Julian Sawyer: "That's the one for the elevator!'"
Metal Man (GM): 'ELEVATOR SHIELD PYLON B ONLINE'
Digifanatic: "Eh, shield, but..." *He presses the green one again.*
Julian Sawyer: "It's already off!"
Metal Man (GM): The lights dim.
Julian Sawyer: *Presses the purple one*
Metal Man (GM): Sparks fly.
Digifanatic: "Let's get outta here."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...okay enough button pressing."
Metal Man (GM): 'ELEVATOR SHIELD PYLON B OFFLINE'
Garrick Fy`aar: "Just hit the red one and let's get moving."
Digifanatic: "Alright."
Julian Sawyer: "You hit the red one. I ain't touching it."
Digifanatic tries pressing that red one.
Metal Man (GM): *KERBLAMMO*
Digifanatic: "There were no messages in red that I saw, so..."
Metal Man (GM): 50 fire damage to Digi as it explodes.
Julian Sawyer: "...Alright, no touching the red button..." *Exits the room*
Garrick Fy`aar heads out as well, checking out the north door.
Metal Man (GM): The explosion launched the door to this room far enough that it blew open the North door.
Digifanatic loses his second life...
Julian Sawyer: "...Awesome." *Heads into the North door*
Digifanatic revives and catches up. "I shoulda used my leftover rings after that battle."
Metal Man (GM): In the North... You find a room full of power generators, fully lit.
Julian Sawyer: "...Alright..."
Metal Man (GM): Gauges are beeping, showing that they're cooling down from a massive overuse of power. There's a door at the end of this room.
Digifanatic: "Wow..."
Julian Sawyer: "Hey, door." *Heads for it*
Digifanatic: "Continue or check them out?"
Julian Sawyer: "They're generators, what's to check out?"
Metal Man (GM): Julian: INT check. You walk across the floor without difficulty.
Digifanatic: "Julian? Do you have any rings available? I'll 'pay' you back later."
Julian Sawyer: "Not 100."
Digifanatic: "50 is all I need."
Metal Man (GM): Digi: INT check. Digi: You follow Julian... and STEP ON A WIRE *BAZZZZZZT* 85 electrical damage.
Digifanatic: "What the...?"
Metal Man (GM): You all notice the wires now; they're sorta hole filled and weak, and electrically active. However, now that you've seen them, you can walk over them.
Digifanatic: "Stupid wires..."
Metal Man (GM): So, you continue on?
Julian Sawyer: *Yeah*
Metal Man (GM): You go into another room, up some old twisted concrete steps.
Digifanatic carefully avoids these wires as he moves onward.
Metal Man (GM): Then... you enter a large, LARGE corridor. There's a tonne of wiring and pipes on the ceiling. And another control panel.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Digifanatic: "Wow..."
Julian Sawyer: *Checks it*
Metal Man (GM): 'ELEVATOR SHIELD PYLON C ONLINE EXTERIOR SHIELD PYLON C OFFLINE'
Digifanatic follows Julian over...
Julian Sawyer: *Purple button press*
Metal Man (GM): Purple, green, and red buttons. Hummmm.... 'ELEVATOR SHIELD PYLON C OFFLINE'
Digifanatic: "Hmm... same as before."
Metal Man (GM): There's a locked---*SHOOMP* unlocked door dead ahead.
Digifanatic looks around, looking stupid to intentionally go into a trap...
Metal Man (GM): Nope. No traps seen.
Julian Sawyer: *Waits...*
Metal Man (GM): The area seems devoid of security.
Julian Sawyer: "Try pressing that red button again"
Digifanatic: "I really shouldn't be, but... Alright. If you insist. If I blow up, it's my fault."
Julian Sawyer: "I got Max Shrooms. You'll be fine."
Digifanatic: "Alright..." *He presses the red button.*
Metal Man (GM): You press it... *KERBLAMMO* 50 fire damage.
Digifanatic: "Shroom. Quick. I'll buy one back for you after this."
Julian Sawyer: *Tosses Digi a red PEZ tablet with white polka-dots*
Digifanatic: "Thanks."
Garrick Fy`aar: "...let's just get back to the lobby, shall we?"
Digifanatic chews the tablet as he goes from on the verge of death (135%/135) to perfectly fine.
Julian Sawyer: "Hold up, there's a Door open." *Heads towards the door ahead*
Metal Man (GM): It has a melted keyhole on it.
Digifanatic: "Well, might as well..."
Julian Sawyer: "...And it just so happens I have a Melted key..." *Use!*
Metal Man (GM): *Door open*
Julian Sawyer: *Enter door*
Metal Man (GM): And... you enter the room that everybody else is in! Everyone is now in the same room!
Digifanatic: "Well, best of both worlds."
Garrick Fy`aar steps into the room where everyone else is.
Metal Man (GM): Then the message comes back on again.
Garrick Fy`aar: "Oh, hey. Find anything worthwhile?"
Julian Sawyer: *Enters the room from another direction* "Yo."
Metal Man (GM): 'SOS... SOS... SOS... SOS... SOS... SO... SOSO...' The computer displays these messages.
Digifanatic: "Hey guys..."
Metal Man (GM): 'All hope is lost. Whoeever finds this, get revenge... for us!'
Charles Magellean looks some more, and steps away.
MrMonster: "In this room a computer terminal... In the other rooms we were in just some terminals to get rid of the force field blocking the elevator. What about you?"
Metal Man: "What were those explosions about?"
Charles Magellean: "We move towards the second floor."
Digifanatic: "We were trying to do the same..."
Julian Sawyer: "Digi pressed some red buttons."
Metal Man (GM): The terminal flashes one last time.
Charles Magellean exits to the lobby.
Digifanatic: "And I got b-b-burned."
Metal Man (GM): '...Please... save us... from Kuja... he must... be defeated.'
Digifanatic: "But I'll be fine..."
Metal Man (GM): The computer then cycles the message again.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...what." *He stares at the computer screen.*
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Azure: "How old... is he... exactly..."
Metal Man (GM): It soon gets back to the message about Kuja.
Digifanatic: "Who knows, Azure?"
Garrick Fy`aar glowers at it, his jaw clenching and his hands balling into fists. He hates Kuja... with a passion...
Charles Magellean waits at the door of the elevator.
Metal Man: "Looks like we know our destroyer here."
MrMonster: "... I'm not sure how old Kuja is, but he has only been on Nintendus for a few years... And his power reaches to this place too."
Metal Man types on it a bit more.
Metal Man (GM): The computer beeps. It starts showing messages. Playing them, really.
MrMonster: "... I suggest when we get back to the village we tell Kales what has been happening, and ask him if we can use those relics."
Metal Man (GM): You hear various people, several vaguely familiar, reporting on... apparently an attack.
Julian Sawyer: "We don't even know what they do."
Digifanatic: "Not a bad idea I suppose."
Metal Man (GM): Most of them end in explosions. Such as... 'I need back-u...' *BOOM*
Azure: "A place which seems much older than anything he had on nintendus. This place kinda looks new... but none of the civilizations know anything about the stuff that's here or Kuja. So... is it possible he's even older than any of them currently alive here..." *He ponders with grim thoughts in his mind.*
Metal Man (GM): One of them, you swear you hear Kuja laughing in the background.
MrMonster: "... Perhaps between the relics and other sources we'll be able to warp back to Nintendus... And find a way to destroy Kuja."
Metal Man (GM): It's creepy. Until Metal turns it off.
Metal Man: "I've heard about enough of that."
Julian Sawyer: "Same here."
Digifanatic: "Yeah..."
MrMonster: "I'm confused now..."
Digifanatic: "Should we go up?"
Metal Man: "Yes..."
Julian Sawyer: "No where else to go..."
Azure: *Hands are crossed he seems to be chanting.*
Metal Man starts walking towards the elevator.
Julian Sawyer: *Heads back to the main room*
MrMonster: "Are these ruins actually from this world, or did Kuja warp them here after they were destroyed?"
Garrick Fy`aar just stares at the computer, his eyes filled with rage before turning and following the others.
Metal Man: "I don't know. Something is off... something wrong."
Azure: *Eyes remain closed next the computer and then his chant finally ends. He turns to the others and begins to walk out of the room.*
Digifanatic enters the elevator.
Charles Magellean opens the door to the elevator after seeing them leave the door.
Julian Sawyer: *Enters*
Charles Magellean: "We're you able to find any other information about what happened to this place?"
Garrick Fy`aar steps inside, glaring at the door.
Digifanatic: "Not much... just control panels..."
Metal Man (GM): The elevator... is familiar! *shot*
MrMonster follows Charley.
Charles Magellean enters when the final person steps on the elevator.
Metal Man (GM): It has five floors. You are on... floor 2.
Garrick Fy`aar: "...I don't care how long it takes me. I'm going to kill that *Swear word* guy..."
Metal Man (GM): You can press any button, from 1-5.
Metal Man: "Well well, we've got ourselves a lot to check out."
Julian Sawyer: "I ain't touching it."
Charles Magellean: "So, you were able to able to know who it was that caused this destruction."
MrMonster: "... I suggest we go down to floor one, and then work on the higher floors. That would be Kuja, Charles."
Metal Man: "The console told it to us in black and white."
Charles Magellean tilts his head a tiny bit. He moves it back. "I see."
Tridus: "So... which floor?"
Julian Sawyer: *Shrugs*
Digifanatic: "Doesn't really matter to me."
Metal Man (GM): The elevator starts to go down. It finally opens... to a dank, dirt-filled pit, with pipes and water pools about.
Julian Sawyer: "..."
Metal Man (GM): It somewhat smells of sewage here, and the few utility lights make it dank and yellowy.
Julian Sawyer: "Don't think we're getting through here..."
Digifanatic: "Okay..."
Metal Man (GM): There's two doors; one to the East, one to the West.
Julian Sawyer: "Eugh... East?"
Charles Magellean: "Do as you wish. I will remain here."
Digifanatic: "Beats me..."
Metal Man: "East away!!!"
Julian Sawyer: *Goes East*
Digifanatic heads to the eastern door.
Azure: "I'll head east as well." *Heads east*
Metal Man (GM): Ya'll go East... And... well, isn't this familiar? Sewers!
MrMonster follows the East-goers...
Metal Man (GM): With... a stone walkway besides the dried up river of sludge.
Charles Magellean moves his neck a bit to relieve more of the stress. He stands on the elevator and waits for the return of the Questers.
Julian Sawyer: *Heads for the walkway*
Digifanatic doesn't think there would be much of interest, but he follows Julian anyway...
Metal Man (GM): back.
MrMonster goes up onto the walkway, figuring that there is no need to walk through the waste of others if he can help it.
Metal Man (GM): Anyway... this area has some pipes. Lots of them... but none to jump in.
MrMonster: "... I doubt we'll find much down here."
Metal Man (GM): You continue on... and then discover a door that goes South.
Metal Man: "I don't imagine so..."
Julian Sawyer: *Heads for it*
Digifanatic: "Oh boy... more doors."
MrMonster continues to follow Julian.
Digifanatic follows Julian again...
Metal Man (GM): Another room... this one full of wires.
Azure: "Ok. On second thought everyone. There's something on my mind. And there's not much I can aid you with here. I'll be in the main room." *Turns and heads back.*
Metal Man (GM): It's dry and... seemingly dank here as well.
MrMonster nods to Azure before continuing on.
Metal Man (GM): You see suspicious looking diagrams. 'LABAWIREBOX.' 'GENERATORPOWER' You see some freshly burnt out wires too. Two of them.
Julian Sawyer: "Must be from the red buttons..."
Metal Man (GM): Okay, that'd be... the wire access... one memento. You are, indeed, at the wiring access room, all of you, of the mysterious unholy ruins. It is dark and dank down here, and seems... somewhat peaceful. There's a room dead ahead. The door is unlocked.
Aetos: "This looks like a place you'd live in... Tridus."
Aribar has Miirnalk unsheathed to provide some pale white light. The Trulander studies the wires a bit more, guessing either their messing around or the jesters did something to them, and then heads over to the door which he opens.
Metal Man follows, with Tridus...
Metal Man (GM): Welcome to... the plumbing hall.
Aetos goes also.
Metal Man (GM): You're down in the bottom ditch of the room you fought the jesters in.
Digifanatic might as well follow...
Metal Man: "It looks like there's nothing to be found there..."
Digifanatic: "Yeah..."
MrMonster looks about, wondering if they may find some artifact in the filth of this area.
Tridus: "The basement level. It appears mostly destroyed or otherwise not important."
Metal Man (GM): MrMonster: INT check. MrMonster: You find something very interesting... in the dirt. It is.... A cure cube. Looks old to you, being half-buried.
MrMonster: "I am surprised there are not any creatures living down here..." *The Trulander narrows his eyes, thinking that he sees something. He walks over and picks up the cube and wipes it off.*
Metal Man (GM): You see no hole in the ceiling where it could have come from.
MrMonster: "Huh... A curious find."
Metal Man: "I wonder what that was doing there."
Azure: "So... well find nothing here..." *Azure quirked an eye his view would eye around the room*
Digifanatic: "No idea. Someone must have dropped it."
Aribar walks back over to the others. "It probably was teleported, or like Digi said, dropped."
Metal Man (GM): You'd notice steps up to the second floor.
Digifanatic: "Back upstairs?"
Aetos: "Wanna just take the elevator? Stairs might be trapped..."
Metal Man: "I guess so... especially since that door is locked." *He points at the door ahead. Locked, indeed.*
MrMonster: "Better than walking back through the muck... Hrm..." *He walks over and inspects the door. More importantly, he tries to guess how hard it would be to break it.*
Digifanatic: "Oh..."
Metal Man (GM): The door is sealed shut. It has some sort of red security field on it.
Aetos: "Well... wanna try to open this door or go up?"
Metal Man (GM): A holographic sign on it says... 'Danger. Level VI Breach containment activated.' The door looks like it'd take a powerful explosion.
Aetos: "So... is the breach contained in there... or out here?"
MrMonster: "I guess we won't be going in there..." *The Trulander sets the cube back down, not wanting to ask the others if they want to use it and not wanting to take it with him, and heads towards the steps.*
Metal Man: "I'm not sure..." *He follows towards the steps.*
Metal Man (GM): The steps, although old, appear to be safe. They even have railings.
Digifanatic: "I dunno..."
Aetos looks at the cure cube... but just leaves it, and head up as well.
Digifanatic decides to follow...
Metal Man (GM): You head up. To make things shorter, you also re-enter the lobby... the elevator is back up.
MrMonster heads up the steps, but tries to do so lightly... He doesn't trust them completely, and he hopes his... Roughly 300 pounds worth of weight and equipment doesn't strain the steps.
Metal Man: "Now, guys, I'm going to have to stay here with Tridus."
Digifanatic: "Alright."
MrMonster: "Why?"
Aetos: "Yes! Why!?"
Azure: "Watch yourself ok?"
Metal Man: "I can't fight your battles for you, and... these computers must be extracted."
Aetos: "Fine..."
Tridus: "We're going to get parts to fix up the holo room. There's other stuff here which we could probably use to have our own temporary headquarters here."
MrMonster: "Ah... Be careful then."
Metal Man: "You too."
Azure: "Be safe you two. Are we ready?"
Digifanatic: "Yeah. No problem."
MrMonster heads inside the elevator after saying goodbye to Tridus and Metal Man. "I believe so."
Aetos walks up to the elevator then.
Metal Man (GM): The elevator itself is up again, and opens for you.
Aetos: "Seeya later..." *He goes in the elevator*
Charles Magellean: "About time you came back. It reeked worse than a Naralain hoof."
Aetos: "Sorry... floor 2 now?" *He waits for the others first.*
MrMonster: "We're on floor two. And you could have come with us, Charles." *He pushes the button for the third floor.*
Aetos: "Floor three then..."
Digifanatic: "Sure."
Metal Man (GM): The elevator clicks, and then goes up ..*DING*
Digifanatic was in the elevator...
Metal Man (GM): The door opens, and you see... a wide-open, rectangular room. There's a door on each corner. The room you're in right now has a variety of computers without terminals about.
MrMonster steps out into the room and looks about.
Metal Man (GM): Cameras watch you closely... and a few places where fires were put out can be seen.
Aetos steps out, and watches the camera back...
Metal Man (GM): The walls and floors are both normal, white wood and green tile.
Azure: "Fires..."
Digifanatic enters the hall, trying to be as careful as possible due to the cameras...
Metal Man (GM): Your steps stir up some dust. You realize you are walking right through hundreds of infrared security beams. Nothing bad has happened yet; all four doors are unlocked.
Charles Magellean: "The same place where --(Ahh-snnugh!) 'cuse me --where the logs were recorded, if I'm not mistaken."
Digifanatic: "Any preferences on which door?"
Charles Magellean snuffs the loose mucus back.
Metal Man (GM): The doors are numbered 1 through 4.
Azure: "Number 2?"
MrMonster: "Might as well start with the first door. Any objections?"
Metal Man (GM): The windows themselves... one on every wall. They're dusty, and overlook the nearby fields.
Azure: "Works for me. I was just shooting at air."
Charles Magellean: "Systematically looking. I like it. Let's do it." *He sneezes again, and heads for the first door.*
Metal Man (GM): The doors here are very secure looking, but unlocked, strangely.
Digifanatic follows into the door.
Aetos goes into door 1 also.
Metal Man (GM): The first door scans all of you, and then it opens, all eight sides of the octagon steel door sliding into the walls.
MrMonster follows.
Metal Man (GM): You are now in a hall with a triangular shaped section at the end which has a seat and a computer console.
Digifanatic: "Hmm..."
Metal Man (GM): There's also a window at the end of the hall. It appears to be some sort of lookout post.
Digifanatic heads over to the computer... "Should we check it out?"
MrMonster walks over to the console with Digi and looks at the screen. He also ppers out the window briefly.
Metal Man (GM): The computer is active. However, it says 'Please enter username and password.'
Digifanatic: "Ack."
Metal Man (GM): The window faces out into the field.
Charles Magellean checks the computer out as well.
Metal Man (GM): It has a keyboard and a mouse.
Digifanatic: "Dunno if it seems worth it to try and figure this out..."
Metal Man (GM): It looks very, very familiar. You've used terminals like this before.
Digifanatic: "But boy... I wouldn't be surprised if this more former stuff... sure seems like it."
MrMonster: "We could possibly try passwords and usernames for months and not get a single one right..."
Azure: "So... umm... yea..." *He is stumpped*
Aetos tries to click log-in o OK or whatever, leaving no password nor username.
Computer: "Unauthorized access. Level 5 Security Breach."
Metal Man (GM): Alarms start going off. The door locks behind you.
Digifanatic: "Times like this, I wish we had some journal that we could look back at... But now it's a bit late..."
Charles Magellean goes towards the doors a few steps and groans.
MrMonster turns around as he hears the doors lock... "Good job..."
Charles Magellean turns around.
Metal Man (GM): ...A wall is beginning to come down to seal off this terminal, with all of you trapped inside.
Aetos: "Great... what happens if the real person operating this computer makes an error...?"
Digifanatic: "The cameras?"
Computer: "Destruction of intruders in terminal A via Poison Gas authorized."
Digifanatic: "If it was someone who worked here, the people running the security wouldn't have to worry--uh oh..."
Azure: "Why do you people make these things!"
Metal Man (GM): You can run back out into the hallway.
MrMonster: "..."
Charles Magellean: "I ask that question many... many times."
Digifanatic starts heading back...
Aetos: "But wouldn't that mean someone is here... trying to kill us right now?"
Digifanatic: "Yeah..."
Charles Magellean: "No, brainless."
Metal Man (GM): Who stays inside the cramped terminal? You can choose. Be trapped inside the terminal or on the opposite side in the hallway.
MrMonster tries a quick punch to see if the window will break.
Metal Man (GM): The terminal appears to be equipped with poison gas jets.
Charles Magellean begins to run away towards the door.
Metal Man (GM): The window does not break.
Digifanatic heads to the hall...
Azure is at the opposite side of the hallway.
MrMonster backs up quickly, coughing.
Metal Man (GM): The terminal is sealed, as is the poison.
Aetos: "Erm."
Metal Man (GM): You are now trapped in a somewhat small hallway.
Computer: "Attempt to terminate intruders with poison gas has failed. Activate security droids."
MrMonster: "... This isn't good..."
Metal Man (GM): You see... not one... not two... but THREE wireframes appear in front of all of you.
Azure: "Droid... I remember that name... whats it mean again... oh right..." *He sighs sliden his feet into an offensive stance.*
Metal Man (GM): They soon form into floating security droids. Hmm... actually... we're doing the faster way this time. Round 1.... 3. 2. 1. ACTION 1 Droid 1 opens fire on Digi with its machinegun.
Digifanatic starts out with a Fire Punch on WF #1.
Aetos sprints up to droid 1 and drills it with his spear!
Metal Man (GM): 20 damage per hit. Droid 2 decides to ram into MrMonster.
Azure's body goes into a sprenting position. He pushes off on his right leg and shoots forward toward one of the droids almost blurring out of sight as he does so. His image can be seen slaming forward into it. (Bozen Smash)
Metal Man (GM): 80 damage if that hits. Digi has a critical miss. Thus, Droid 1 increases the pain by shooting at him with more bullets.
MrMonster manages to stop the droid... By swatting it aside with Miirnalk.
Metal Man (GM): 20 damage per hit (At Digi)
Charles Magellean eyes Droid 2...to carefully watch it's movements and anticipate.
Digifanatic is hit twice more.
Metal Man (GM): The third Droid fires bullets at Aetos. 20 damage per hit. Aetos: miss hit. Azure: Hit. Hit. Digi: Already said you crit missed. MrMonster: Hit.
Aetos almost lost his first life... but he manages.
Metal Man (GM): Azure: Your attack bounces off of the droid, not damaging it at all. MrMonster deals 0 damage to whatever Droid he did hit. Now.... 3... 2... 1... Action 2!
MrMonster decides to try and destroy that second droid. Thrusting his sword forward, a kinetic missile (Gamma Sword Shot) flies at the droid and bursts upon contact for a fair bit of damage.
Metal Man (GM): Droid 1 continues shooting at Digi. 20 damage per hit.
Digifanatic is hit twice again...
Aetos stabs himself with his spear, sacrificing himself to HEAL ALL PARTY MEMBERS.
Metal Man (GM): MrMonster: Hit, however the Droid doesn't seem to be taking much damage.
Charles Magellean takes his miniguns, better aimed this time, and fires 6 shots at Droid 2.
Digifanatic survives... barely.
Metal Man (GM): Droid 2 opens fire on Charles with its own machinegun. 20 damage per hit.
Digifanatic: "Someone cover me! I'm on my last legs..."
Charles Magellean: *25% per hit*
Metal Man (GM): Droid 3 tries to ram into Aetos.
MrMonster isn't healed by Aetos's sacrifice... Due to the fact he's already at full health.
Metal Man (GM): 80 damage if that hits.
Digifanatic: "Or not... didn't see that..."
Aetos is dead.
Metal Man (GM): Digi: Hit. Droid 3 flies into a wall, missing Aetos. Charles: 3 hits.
Azure: Azure equips his gauntlets which begin to surge with electrical energy. He now tries to whale on the droid as he jumps as it with an electric combo. Droid one would hopefully feel Azure. "RAGEKI FISTS!"
Metal Man (GM): Digi's attack bounces off of the droid.
Charles Magellean gets hit in the shin, the rambo, and the kenigen.
Metal Man (GM): Charles minorly damages the droid. Azure hits three times. Two, right. These robots are TOUGH!
Azure: *Rageki Fists: 41% each 81% total electical*
Charles Magellean makes the sound of a horse whinnying. "Dare make me look weak, robot?!"
Metal Man (GM): ACTION 3--The Robots are too slow to attack this time.
MrMonster decides to put Droid 2 in a shocking situation. He sends out a bolt of powerful electric energy at the bot, but it also shocks the Trulander a bit... Beta Baby Bolt.
Aetos glows white and revives, he keeps the white auraness but would only deal double damage if he tried to hurt himself...
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Digifanatic tries to Fire Punch that first droid again.
Metal Man (GM): Hit. Digi's attack bounces off.
Digifanatic: "These guys are tough!"
Azure continues his combo as his last punch his inverting his body to spin with his right back hand and them come around with his left as he hit the ground.
Digifanatic Eye SPies a Wire Fram for DR instead of HP.
Charles Magellean shakes his fist in the air and the moving-wart returns. He stomps the ground with each foot, making slight tremors. Psychotic Mode!
Metal Man (GM): DR: 20 And they're robots, they only looked like wireframes while warping in. Hit, hit. Damage, Azure?
Charles Magellean opens his mouth wide, a red & blue glowing Destructive Rocket heads towards Droid 2.
Metal Man (GM): Hit. And now.... Round 2. ACTION 1.
Aetos crouches under droid one, and shish kebobs it.
MrMonster points his free hand at Droid 2 and a ball of psionic energy begins to glow and grow. He pulls his left arm back and thrusts it forward, sending the ball of psionic energy into the bot. Alpha Charge Shot. Thankfully his armor begins to heal him a bit as well.
Metal Man (GM): Droid 1 opens fire at Digifanatic with the machinegun. 20 damage per hit. Droid 2 attacks Charles with its machinegun. 20 damage per hit. Droid 3 attempts to ram MrMonster. 80 damage if that hits. MrMonster: Miss.
Charles Magellean clenches his fist. He goes into an enduring mode... ready to attack next turn.
Metal Man (GM): Aetos: Hit.
MrMonster is slammed back against the wall and now has a new target...
Digifanatic Fire Punches Droid 1 again, this time with a -5 accuracy Smash.
Charles Magellean gets hit in the chin and the fruitalong this time.
Metal Man (GM): Digi: You barely damage the droid.
Azure tries to smash it with a rushing air tackle once more "BOZEN SMASH!"
Metal Man (GM): CRIT
Azure: *36% Paralysis*
Metal Man (GM): It is hit... but cannot be paralyzed. Droid 2 isn't looking too good. And now....
Aetos will be afk a minute, so he will defend his next two actions.
Metal Man (GM): ACTION 2
MrMonster charges himself up again and sends a jolt of electricity to Droid 3... A Beta Baby Bolt. Probably not the wisest choice in moves because the Trulander is beginning to tire out.
Metal Man (GM): Droid 1 opens fire at Charles with the machinegun. 20 damage per hit.
Charles Magellean charges into Droid 2, using a Psychotic X-naut Ram.
Metal Man (GM): Droid 2 fires at Charles with a laser: SPD check, Charles.
Digifanatic then tries to Feint the first droid...
Metal Man (GM): Droid 3 attempts to counter-ram Charles.
Azure switches up his combo after he hits the droid he bounces off and fires a dragon fang at Droid 2. The energy surges of his hands toward it.
Digifanatic: *Wonder crit*
Metal Man (GM): 80 damage if that hits. Digi: Wonder crit. MrMonster: Miss. Azure: Hit.
Azure: *24% fire damage*
Charles Magellean's ram is too fast for the counter-ram, but is automatically hit by the laser of droid 2.
Metal Man (GM): Charles destroys Droid 2. And takes 50 damage.
Charles Magellean calms down, the wart and psychotic gone.
Metal Man (GM): ACTION 3 --Not only are there only two droids left, but they can't use this action!
Digifanatic then uses it to set him up with his Poison Cube.
Charles Magellean begins to slouch a little.
Azure sprits at it with rageki fists once more. (Droid 2)
Metal Man (GM): Your cube hits but deals nothing to it. Hit, hit. Droid 2 is dead. I move that to Droid 1.
Digifanatic however, does Overdrive from that.
Metal Man (GM): Round 3....
Charles Magellean eyes charge... he then fires out a beam from his eyes. The beam is en route towards Droid 1.
Metal Man (GM): Waiting for Charles to finish. CRIT Droid 1 loses his entire turn. XD You decapacitate him by shooting his single red eye out. ACTION 1
MrMonster attempts to roll around the third droid and jump back to his feet with a strong uppercut from his scimitar... Stylish Hits. -10 To-hit for +30% damage.
Aetos impales droid 1 now...
Metal Man (GM): Robot 3 fires bullets at Charles. 20 damage per hit.
Charles Magellean: "!"
Metal Man (GM): MrMonster: Hit. Hit.
Charles Magellean gets hit right in the canigram twice... he's gonna feel that NOW.
Digifanatic then Fire Punches the remaining droid, at an amazing -10 acc.
Charles Magellean kneels over, to the ground, and spits out Dogondo breath.
Metal Man (GM): Hit.
Azure overdrives. He begins to charge light and darkness seem to merge in his hands. (Charges chaos crises)
Metal Man (GM): And there's two droids left, just that Droid 1 is disabled. Charles: Miss. All accounted for... you guys are getting faster.
Charles Magellean is on the floor, rolling this way and that.
Metal Man (GM): ACTION 2
MrMonster downs a Blue Potion. He seriously requires the energy, plus his regenerating armor cannot repair him as fast as it needs to be done.
Aetos power kicks droid 1, ending his 4 bland attack string.
Metal Man (GM): Droid 3 fires tear gas. Everyone: SPD checks.
Charles Magellean: "Auuughh... my canigram!"
Metal Man (GM): Aetos: Hit. Azure: Miss. Aetos: You avoid the gas.
Digifanatic then SM Punches that droid again.
Metal Man (GM): Digifanatic: You miss. Azure: Yes. Digifanatic: Hit.
Azure continues to charge and aura of light and darkness surround him one fading then the other appearing. The seem to divert toward his palms.
Metal Man (GM): Charles: You're hit by tear gas. Your to-hits are halfed until action 2 of the next round. MrMonster: Same as Charles.
Charles Magellean though hit, rolls towards droid 1.
