RW: Get to the hallway just outside sec 5 and peek inside. Look for possible source of grinding while staying in the relative safety of the hallway.

(...) It sounds like something is moving above sector 5! As you get closer to the doorway, something slaps you in the face and you fall off of the mecha-spider.

Meta: "Kyle... I'm gonna be on ya like [insert something witty here] when this is over."

(...)
John: "Mrrrmph mmmpphh mph, mrmbl mmmppphh mph MPPH MRRMMMPPHHH!
It was so witty.

[Gatleos]

What is this mysterious danger you're all running from? When you're playing a video game and you come across a large, conspicuously empty room, do you run away? No, you charge into the middle of it and wait for the same thing that always happens in those kinds of rooms.

[RedWarrior0]

You know, it would be terrible of you to add a penalty specifically directed at people with functioning legs.

Did you not hear the ominous scraping sound coming from the ceiling?  Or hear my tale about the strange cyborg who crawls around in the air vents killing other players (well, he appeared near a body anyhow).  Plus, my D&D character died last night for being fool hearty and charging in when he shouldn't have, so I'm being rather cautious at the moment.

[monk12]

Meta: Nuts to this, go to Deck Two

Fantasy: Attempt to crash into Mt Helmath

Also, I'm taking a brief vacation over the next few days, so I will likely not be online until Sunday Night. I'll stick my head in if I get the opportunity, try not to blow me up.

FAKEEDIT

You know, it would be terrible of you to add a penalty specifically directed at people with functioning legs.

I'm waiting for that ability to be used to wriggle out of some ropes or something.

I'd be more concerned if that room was full of ammo and health packs.

That may or may not be the function of the room you're in right now.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

[Gatleos]

This ship travel thing was probably a mistake, since it dragged on for so long, as evidenced by DivideByZero getting bored and leaping off the ship. You've arrived now though, so I'll think of a new system for next time. HELMATH AWAITS.

A pedestal...

Actions

Meta: Investigate roof; figure out where's he's going to appear.

(...) You look around the ceiling, but can't see any vents. The grinding noise gets even louder though, whatever is up there is big. Suddenly, you notice something you didn't before: a ceiling hatch! It looks.... out of place. You notice something else too. The pedestal at the back of the room has five large LED lights on the front, and three of them are lit up with a bright blue color.

Meta: Try to rip the gauze off again.

(...)
John: "Mrrrrrrrrrr-AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!"
You violently rip the bandages from your head! You can breathe normally again. Ahhhhh...

Meta: Grab the mop, than stuff John and Frelock in the GM, and drive to safety.

(...) You pile everyone onto the GM and prepare to scoot out of the room!

RW: Run up to the pedestal and DO SHIT TO IT. Figure out what it does.

(...) You step into the room and look at the pedestal from afar. You can't tell how it works from here, but a light just came on.

Meta: Nuts to this, go to Deck Two

(...) You fall again. GOD DAMMIT.

Fantasy: Go-go-go!

Fantasy:Hope the noble has a "terrible accident".

(...) You are sorely disappointed.

FW: MORE CHURNING.

(...) The churning stops completely. Awwwww...

Fantasy: Attempt to crash into Mt Helmath

(...) Filling with PURE PIRATE RAGE, you somehow manage to lift the ship slightly above the water through sheer force of will! It's not nearly enough to send a navy frigate into the side of a volcano, but the ship speeds ahead and lands with a resounding splash less than 20 meters from the island!
