Meta: to Sector One!

[Gatleos]

The next fantasy objective shall be revealed soon, and Bowdown's getting violent.

**********~
Turn 22
**********~

META TURN:

This place is starting to creep me out...

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Dark Agon Wastes

Actions

RW: Me and mecha spider investigate sector 6 hallway and beyond.

(...) You race down the hallway on the mecha-spider, headed to Sector 6. After a few twists in the passage, you arrive at a sign: "Officers' Quarters (Sector 6)". This looks more like a living area, there's another janitor's closet and a bathroom down the hall.

Meta: Look out all the windows of the Vera Observation Center

(...) You look out one window. Preeeeeetty...

Meta:Continue towards sector 1

(...) Turning left at the junction, you arrive in a large, monitor-filled chamber. There are rows of chairs and computers all along the room. Then, in the distance, you see a body slumped in the corner. There's blood on the wall.

Meta: to Sector One!

(...) Paulie won't carry you to Sector 1 for some reason. What gives?!

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) You throw Monk across the room for no apparent reason. You then proceed to kick him in the gut repeatedly!

FANTASY TURN:

The ocean awaits!

Goals
"KIDNAP THE MAYOR OF THIS TOWN AND ESCAPE" Complete!

Current Soundtrack
Ocean Redux v2

Actions

FW: Go down and pump the pilge. Try to use my magic to at least make the water less viscous, so as to make it flush out easier. (I assume bilges have pumps to drain water outside the ship?)

(...) You slip down into the bilge and take over pumping duties. It's a lot more tiring than you thought, but you expertly operate the pump! (...) After a while you do begin to get tired, so you attempt to help yourself using your water magic. All the water in the bilge immediately drains, and the porous wood in the ship's hull dries out! A brittle section of the hull springs a leak.

Fantasy: Climb the Harpoon cord onto the boat.

(...) You begin climbing hand-over-hand up the harpoon cord and toward the ship! Monk's struggling to hold on to the harpoon gun...

Fantasy: Help HighEndNoob aboard the Borealis, then take over Sailing duties. Ponder what adventures await.

(...) With all your strength, you yank on the harpoon gun! The cord, harpoon and HighEndNoob fly over your head and slam into the mast. (...) You then proceed to guide The Borealis into the northwestern wind. You hold onto the rigging and swing the sails into the correct position! Wind fills the sails.

Fantasy:See if there's any manuals on sailing around here.

(...) Hey, a sailing manual! That's unusual for a ship like this to just come with a manual. Score! It's pretty thick too. You nearly drop it overboard in your excitement!

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) With a mad glint in your eye, you lunge for Frelock! You pin him to the ship's railing and he drops the manual overboard. You begin choking him and trying to push him over the edge! Suddenly, the female warrior yells, "At last, I've found you demon!" She pulls a dimly glowing sword from her back and lunges for you! (...) Her aim is true, (...) but you dodge her strike and counterattack! (...) You aim a powerful roundhouse kick at her torso, (...) but she quickly ducks under your strike and (...) swings at your legs! (...) You overreact, push Frelock to the deck and trip over the railing! You're holding on by one hand.

[Dermonster]

RW: Check the furnishings and stuff. See whats in the janitors closet and bathroom.

FW: Patch up the hole.

[monk12]

I'm beginning to suspect we should have named this ship the Event Horizon

Meta: He's a zombie! SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD! SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD!

Fantasy: Interrogate Mayor for details about the surroundings.

[Frelock]

Meta:Scalpel out, cautiously advance.  Either investigate scene, or slice the first hostile thing that comes into view  I've got a bad feeling about this.  I wish some of my friends were here

Fantasy: Give sword and armor to Derm, sword to HEN, and armor to Monk; talk to warrior about demons and such.

This should counteract Derm's squishy wizard fault, HEN's clumsy fighter fault(as that only applies to attack rolls), and Monk's terrafobia fault(as that only applies to dodge rolls).

[HighEndNoob]

Thanks Monk, Thanks Frelock.
Meta: Look through all the windows, and see what is out them.

Fantasy: Get up,ask the Gm what our next task is, and try to heal my ankle again.

Monk, you might want to get away from Bowdown....

[Gatleos]

_DivideByZero_, last call!

The dice don't lie, bad things may happen next turn. As in, two open spots. Bowdown is doomed now, the explosion will occur on the next turn. In other news, I changed the way I show dialogue.

META TURN:

This place is starting to creep me out...

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
Dark Agon Wastes

Actions

RW: Check the furnishings and stuff. See whats in the janitors closet and bathroom.

(...) Opening the bathroom door, you see what appears to be a normal old bathroom. Just a lot more futuristic, with lots of automated crap. The janitor's closet looks like the one you saw before, with various cleaning supplies inside. There's also a potted plant of a species you've never seen before at the end of the hall. You can't see any more than that.

Meta: He's a zombie! SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD! SHOOT HIM IN THE HEAD!

(...) You pull out your plasma rifle and fire a burst at Paulie! The shot flies by him and ricochets off the wall. He's still coming!

Meta:Scalpel out, cautiously advance.  Either investigate scene, or slice the first hostile thing that comes into view

(...) You walk past the rows of monitors, holding your scalpel in front of you. Nearing the end of the room, you bend over and check the body. He's dead, alright. He's wearing the same jumpsuit as you, too. Looking at his (undetonated) explosive collar, you see a number: "357".
?: "Group 364, huh?"
You spin around and hold your scalpel in front of you. Standing before you is a human... you think. His right arm appears to have been replaced with a skeletal robotic one. Where the left half of his face should be, there is some sort of mechanical... mask? It's like part of his skull was replaced with metal.
Frederick: "Who-"
?: "I don't have time to talk. I would kill you now, but you look like the rest. You won't make it far."
Suddenly, he leaps into the air and grabs onto a gaping hole in the ceiling overhead. He swings himself into the shaft and disappears.

Meta: Look through all the windows, and see what is out them.

(...) You just CANNOT pull yourself from that window. So pretty...

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) You leap at Monk and bear hug him! If you're going down, you're taking him with you.

Current Soundtrack
Ocean Redux

Actions

FW: Patch up the hole.

(...) You tear off a bit of your robe and plug the hole with it. It works surprisingly well, and the leak stops.

Fantasy: Interrogate Mayor for details about the surroundings.

(...) You storm down to the brig and bang on the bars! The mayor sits up and looks at you.
Edgar: "I've got a few questions to ask you!"
Mayor: "SILENCE, MORTAL! The cannibals of the jungle will feast on your flesh! None can brave the Jungle of Piercing, your quest will fail and my powers will return!"
He looks a lot creepier now that you got a good look at him.
Edgar: "What in the name of Blackbeard are you talking about?!"
Mayor: "Are you not the band of five adventurers who came to destroy me?"
Edgar: "Nope."
Mayor: "Then why did you kidnap me?!"
Edgar: "A voice in my head told me to!"
Mayor: "..."

Fantasy: Give sword and armor to Derm, sword to HEN, and armor to Monk; talk to warrior about demons and such.

(...) Fumbling through your sack, you accidentally drop the swords and armor all over the deck. You sigh and resign yourself to speaking with the warrior.
Frelock: "Wait! Stop. He's not a demon. Where did you get that idea?"
Warrior: "Stand back! One of you is a demon, look at my sword!"
Her sword is glowing a faint red.
Warrior: "This is an enchanted sword, it feels the presence of demons. Someone on this ship is the one I came here looking for!"
Frelock: "It isn't us! Who or what is this demon you're talking about?!"
The warrior lowers her guard a bit.
Warrior: "Ogomspoxom, The Demon Lord. He was once a mighty demon, but after my companions and I fought him last he lost his powers and was forced to masquerade as a human. I tracked him to Westport, and now I am certain he is on this very boat."

Fantasy: Get up,ask the Gm what our next task is, and try to heal my ankle again.[/b]

(...) You can't recall quite enough about medicine to heal your ankle.

NPC'd (KAMIKAZE)

(...) You pull yourself up onto the deck and swing at the warrior! (...) You swing harder than you ever have before, (...) but the warrior steps swiftly out of the way and you slam face-first into the mast. Ouch. (...) The warrior swings at your arm (...) but you manage to roll out of the way!

FW: Head upstairs and Try to restrain Arty

[Alzeranox]

Opening the bathroom door, you see what appears to be a normal old bathroom. Just a lot more futuristic, with lots of automated crap.

automated crap? you mean... I don't have to do it myself anymore?

It's rather frightening, really.

[Dermonster]

The pipes are prehensile and intrusive.

[Frelock]

Meta: Get back to the rest of the group and slit bowdown's throat with my scalpel.  Use tweak the odds.

Fantasy: Gather up and distribute armor again, inform everyone that there may be a demon on board, then run down to keep watch on the mayor.

[monk12]

The pipes are prehensile and intrusive.

Note to self- NEVER POOP

Meta: Convince Bowdown to release me via TECHNOBABBLE!

Fantasy: Set course for the Jungles of Piercing! Also tell everyone the Mayor is batty as a belfry.

EDIT: Lets see if I can get some mileage out of that ability for a change.

[Gatleos]

You know, several of you could use your actions this turn to almost guarantee Monk's survival. Monk, you may want to look at your other options...

[monk12]

Uh oh, now I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
