Coupled with your comment that you and I may have been in the same place last weekend (atrociously unlikely though that may be), its starting to feel a bit like the Truman Show over here :P

I just realized, we're a few hours short of two days since the last turn. So Frelock will be NPC'd and I'll post soon.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

Sorry, went to parent's house, and regrettably informed them that they needed a new hard drive.  Watched as my father decided "new hard drive" meant "new computer."  Then went on a quest to get them a new comp.  On the plus side I introduced them to the first two lord of the rings, basically acting as Mr. Exposition and Explanation.

Twenty hours?! Are you driving halfway across the country or what?

The best part of nerddom: flaunting your ridiculous amount of knowledge to the uninitiated.

Meh. I've done that just getting to the other end of the state back home. What I want to know is what kind of vehicle can drive that long without refueling?

Actually, was curious about something in the game too, but I think I figured it out just as I finished writing the question. (I was confused how HEN could get a 1 on a healing roll, given his medkit and EMT training. But then I remembered the -2 for major medical operations.)

So it turns out that dumping magma on skeletons is either a really bad idea or maybe like the best idea ever.

Sorry about that, we had technical issues with one of the cameras while Monk was preparing for the return trip. *looks at monitor* Looks like he may be able to post soon, so we're good to go!

**********~
Turn 46
**********~


META TURN:
Xenocalamus!

Goals
Find the keycard stations.

Current Soundtrack
G.U.N. Mobile

Actions
Meta: put john in the GM, and ride away from that enemy, than clean the blood from john.
(...) You grab John and ride to the other end of the room, then lay him next to the wall. (...) You manage to wipe up the blood on his face and put some... unicorn band-aids on the wounds. What are these doing in a first-aid kit on a military class space ship? You do this so quickly that you have time to fix John's nose too. (...) You manage to straighten John's nose (as he curses at you, apparently in great pain), but can't find a proper FUTURE CAST for it before John slaps you in the face and runs away.
Meta: Run away shouting for help.
(...) You black out for a moment, and wake up to find that JERK Kyle standing over you! You backhand him across the face, then run to the door and start banging on it and yelling for help!
RW: Channel my NERD RAAAAEEEEEG through the metal bar and attack mechanical serpent. FLAMING SWORD OF SRS BUZNESS! MC(Mecha spider): Use wireless systems to flood snakes senses with blinding white noise.
(...) MC is unable to access Xenocalamus's wireless sensors.
(...)
Derek: "This rod of mine glows with an awesome power! Its burning grip tells me to defeat you! Take this! My love, my anger, and all of my sorrow! NERD RAEG!!!"
With all your might, you swing the shimmering metal bar at Xenocalamus's head! (...) It effortlessly dodges the bar itself, but the wave of energy produced strikes it in the body and sends it flying into the wall! Hundreds of tiny metal appendages reach out of its underside and latch onto the wall, and it begins slithering overhead!
Meta: SHOOT IT IN THE HEAD! GRAB THE PLASMA RIFLE!
(...) Leaping through the air, you pull out your plasma rifle and shoot a bolt of plasma directly toward Xenocalamus's head! (...) It doesn't even see it coming, and the bolt strikes it right between the eyes! Half of its face is blasted off, revealing its mechanical innards!
Meta: Strike the head to kill the snake!
(...) You throw your scalpel at Xenocalamus, and it sticks in its non-bionic eye!
Quote from: Xenocalamus
HISSSSSSSSS
Xenocalamus leaps off the wall at John! (...) He jumps out of the way, but Xenocalamus's tail shoots out and grabs his ankle! He falls on his face as Xenocalamus descends on him! Suddenly, Xenocalamus's bionic eye begins to shine red!

(5) You manage to struggle free of the guards and sprint to a safe distance before tossing a knife at one! (5 + 1 = 6) The throwing knife zips through the air, slitting a guard's throat! It then travels around the group of guards like a boomerang. It (5) Slits another throat, (Three 6's in a row!) decapitates three more (!), (4) slices open the last guard's arm, and (2) narrowly misses a random bystander. It then flies back into your hand. Holy crap.

You mean the queue? Or the party itself?

Until the eminent bugfix on new features, I'm more excited about the new DF Talk. And Toady's apparent origin story in it.
