Are we waiting for someone?
Just waiting for the GM to get over his sudden obsession with Liberal Crime Squad. I swear the agents at the Intelligence Agency are the Matrix people, just without bullettime focus. First one I recruited, 9 pistol & shotgun & driving and a bunch of other stuff. And usable first aid. Only problem is, I have to make sure they don't get converted. It's kinda tough.
ROALS!
Digital Hellhound:
You order you Ice Elemental to block the entrance to RandomFunk.
{} The Ice Elemental freezes the water vapor in the air to create an ice wall, but runs out of hydrogen before he can completely seal the cave up. The incomplete ice blockage is some distance down the cave. You consider getting mad at your Ice Elemental, but decide against it since it's not the Elemental's fault for running out of hydrogen. So you direct your anger at
{} Antman2, but not by casting some kind of offensive spell, oh no, that would be the LOGICAL thing to do, and we can't have that now can we. Instead, you
{} viciously hurl the decomposed orc foot.
{} {} {} {} The flying xRotten Orc Footx strikes the Antman2 in the ‼first leg‼! It (the ‼leg‼ not the foot) is harmed! The foot simultaneously catches fire from the Antman2's ‼leg‼ and oozes a bunch of vile liquid, which sickens the Antman2! Then the ‼foot‼ lands in the grass and the grass catches ‼fire‼! This is going to be a helluva brushfire pretty soon. *3 QP*
Errol:
You REALLY want to talk with that Voice From the Nether-Dimension, since obviously anything with such a cryptic, ominous, and flat-out-cool name has to know something good.
{} This micro-controlled-teleportation business is tough... you manage to pull it off. Kinda. Your body becomes wispy and translucent while your conscience floats away.
{} "Excuse me," You introduce yourself once your conscience and body are separate. "Expository Voice From the Nether-Dimension?"
"Yes?" The voice answered. Shocking.
"I was humbly wondering if it would be your inclination to per-maybe-haps tell me how to defeat the Chaos Bugs?"
"Well SURE it would. I do have a cryptic name, after all. You don't get a name like Expository Voice From the Nether-Dimension just by sitting around and chatting, after all." You ponder for a moment that you are being jibed. EVFtN-D sighs and says, "You need holy weapons. Your elemental magic tricks and cave-sealing will slow them down, but now that the forces of ChAoS are awakened, about the only way to fix everything is with blessed weapons or holy water. You can get-" Your unpracticed Suspended Teleportation cuts off, and you return to your body. Physically, you are fine, but mentally, returning to yourself in such a way was kind of like a car accident. Your dizzyness persists, and you are magically drained. You decide not to try any Paladin-Styling just now. (which is wise because you would have got a 3, -2 from your status effects)
Muwahahaha:
You fly up, away from the fire. You are now in the smoke, but because of your apparently lack of oxygen necessity, you don't choke. Your eyes sting a little bit though, you shouldn't keep them open up here for too long.
{} You try to wreathe your flesh in magic flame, but your own soul rejects it. You didn't give the password.
KnightedSkull:
{} You try to use your Geomancy to seal up the cave, but your boots absorb your spell. Dammit boots. Sure they look cool and everything, but they kinda bugger up your magic.
Luke_Prowler:
You
{} fish your ChAoS stone out of your backpack, and activate it... kinda. "You're tied for third-least ChAoS," it tells you. Well that was unhelpful.
{} You place your ChAoS stone in your backpack, too immersed in your seething at the damn thing to remember you're in combat near a spreading fire. You "Hmph" (it's a verb), and turn aside from everything. Looking at the cave entrance, you see that there are indeed large rocks to be found, but you'll have to do some climbing to get to them.
Katsuun: (digitizing your stuff is a full-turn action)
{} {} You load the ChAoS stone as a program into own head. But, confusing as the actual Stone is, there are several complicated protocols and stuff to go through to activate it. And it's read-only.
Inaluct:
{} The PPP is jammed. You activate it, hoping to dislodge the pieces of your knife, and thankfully it works.
Zasit Alebath:
The ChAoS bugs are coming. There's only one thing to do. ARSON! You lie down on your back near the entrance to RandomFunk. Your ‼hair‼ lights the grass on fire. You stand up and walk away. Nothing quite like brushfire to keep bugs inside a cave. *1 ChAoS Usage exp*
‼Antman1‼ is mad about being ignored by everyone, but it's also on fire. So it jumps in the watering hole, and submerges itself for a moment to quench the flames. Aah. Bliss. It forgets about you guys for a moment because you're less important than not burning.
Antman2 briefly considers jumping into the watering hole with its pals, but then realizes that there's someone throwing rotten feet at it. Which is minorly distracting, to say the least. It decides to
{} try and kill the bugger who's throwing feet at it.
{} {} {} The Antman swings directly at Digital's chest, and Digital's life flashes before his eyes as he rolls to dodge!
{} And, because his vision is obscured by his life, he simply stands rooted to the spot as the Antman impales him. Digital's Ice Elemental dissipates as his master slumps to the ground.
Antman4 takes heart from his comrade's victory, and decides to attack... hmm... which to attack... what's this? *gasp* one of the humans is wearing boots identical to the one Antman4 is wearing! We can't have this, so Antman4
{} attacks KnightedSkull!
{} {} {} Antman4 ducks under KnightedSkull's guard and harms his arm!
Sraxxakex can move again! Which is kind of a good thing and kind of a bad thing. But it's mostly a bad thing. It rushes through the cave, trampling ChAoS Bugs as it goes. However, RandomFunk's tunnels are a tight fit for a large dragon, so it only manages to make it to the Main Chamber.
The ChAoS Bugs have made it outside! However, the ice wall acts as a chokepoint, and they hesitate at the ‼grass‼, so they can't swarm you just yet. But their presence, this close and in this great quantity, affects all of you.
Digital Hellhound has died. His body vanishes, leaving his clothing and equipment behind, and standing right next to the spot where Digital snuffed it, is another person named Vlynndar, who has 4 (I believe) experience points, and is wearing normal clothing and is carrying a ChAoS stone.
Luke_Prowler rolls to recover: 6: Yup.
KnightedSkull rolls to recover: 4: Nope. Not that you're very badly injured.

Antman1 rolls to prevent fire damage: 4 -1 (failed recovery) =3: The fire agitates the broken bones in the Antman's left arm, and they shatter.

Antman2 rolls to recover (legs): 5: Yup.
Antman4 rolls to recover: 2: But it doesn't.
