  1. "Yes CFW Judge is part of the origin- Wait that can't be right?! He's been dead for several years." "I was wondering when you'd notice that. Apparently something brought him back, or created something enough like him to fool our operatives." "Oh, well I guess it isn't the first time something like this has happened, but it is troubling... As I was saying though CFW Judge is one of the original members of the Arfoire Syndicate for International Crime. My data bank is telling me he joined because he was looking for a "Real Challenge", he hits hard and enjoys fighting, but might just wander off if he decides the fight is boring." Histoire looks kind of nervous and confused at Atton's question reguarding his Half-track, but the cat answers for him. "So that's who owns the vehicle in reserved parking 15C, I'll...cancel the tow truck." He gives Atton a large smile before disappearing again for several seconds and reappearing on yet another different pew. While this happens Histoire takes a chance to answer Gabriel's question. "Neptune, she is the Goddess and leader of Planeptune, she is also currently missing but I still have several leads to explore there." Once she finishes she floats over to a nearby doorway, which opens automatically, and ushers in two guards clad in purple armor with simple swords on their waists. Between them they carry a heavy create which they set down gently before returning to the hallway they'd been in before. "I had these gathered up so you had something to help with your quest, you're welcome to take them all."
  2. Upon realizing she's falling Spicy HG starts flailing about before landing face-first on the ground. She quickly stood back up though and wiped off the non-present dust from her clothes. "Wow this place looks amazing, like something out of an old painting of Leanbox." Spicy HG turned to the new person to give a slightly more in-depth explanation. "We followed some strange dark haze through a portal and now we're here. It's sort of what we do."
  3. Garry moves towards the monster while rubbing one of his temples in an effort to work of the rest of his groggy tiredness. Once a bit closer he waves one hand and mutters something under his breath, sending out a small puff of fire that slams into the monster. Garry moves the P18 and then uses Fire Bolt(14 hit, 1 dmg) on the closes monster.
  4. Cell dramatically and obviously rubs his chin, squatting down and almost squinting. He stops suddenly and gives the blue one a big thumbs up while standing again and nodding "yes" several times.
  5. Histoire huffed and puffed indignantly as she tried to keep up with Iowa's wild accusations. "Oh. Tyrant?-well I nev-Hmph." But the look Iowa got was nothing compared to the scowl the cat garnered with his comments as he continued cleaning behind one of his ears. "I told you this would happen...you didn't listen." "You said nothing of the sort! and bathing in front of everyone isn't helping the situation!" The cat visibly shrugged and then without a word smiled, a massive grin filled with yellowing chipped teeth. Next it began rapidly evaporating, starting with his tail until nothing but his eyes and smile were left and those too popped out of existence. Histoire sighs and takes a deep breath before trying to explain things in better detail. "I don't know where you come from, but here threatening borderline terrorism and violence to the head of state within a day of their disappearance isn't something I'm willing to let play out without trying to at least defuse the situation before anyone on either side gets hurt, but I don't even expect any of you to help with any of that." "The crime syndicate I mentioned isn't just a bunch of normal mobsters either, last time they were in power they nearly killed four of the Goddesses and tried to summon an ancient deity bent on world domination and total anarchy. They are the reason I called for help, sending normal soldiers after something like that would be a death sentence." The cat reappeared, this time several pews down and cleaning the other ear with as much disinterest as before. "A sighting was called in, apparently CFW Judge was seen rampaging through a nearby village and forest. The candidates and local militia have been notified, but you may want to finish up here before he turns them into wet-food."
  6. Cell raises one arm and mechanically waves his hand back and fourth at Edmond before stopping, turning the Cicivexa and waving again. The only expression on his "face" now is that of child-like glee at all of the awesome stuff surrounding them. (Heartlight stat = Con)
  7. Cell stumbles forward out of the canister, he'd been occupied a little longer than the others marveling at the strange moving bits of metal that had appeared all over him until he finally decided the best way to figure out what color he actually was was to step out into the light. Cell joins, albeit somewhat late.
  8. Friedhold leans over and quietly says something to Alexandria. "As I heard some child calling itself God is invading the country of Matrix, we must stop this." He nods confidently and turns back to pay attention to the two strange men again.
  9. After returning from her session around the Castle's workshops and lab Spicy HG steps off to the side, apparently taking some kind of call. Eventually she returns and relays a similar message to anyone willing to stand around and listen. "I just got a message from my Oracle. One of his old associates contacted him asking for any possible aid, something about a their own Goddess being missing and things not going well. I'm...I'm going to be honest I don't think I'm ready to go back to my own world yet. I know it's not much to go on, but if you could help me take care of this I'd be extremely grateful." The party, or those who chose to tag along, are all gathered to a slightly unstable looking tear in space-time. On the other side they could see a strange looking room with violet walls and magenta floors all covered in odd pulsing lines, the muted hum of some machine can be heard on the other side. "Alright this is your last chance to back out, but for those that don't I thank you so very much for going, we'll pick you up in the Castle when you're done." Once on the other side the group quickly finds out that the room wasn't as large as it looked and was more of a glorified closet than a proper room and with eight people cramming in through a one-way portal things get cramped fast. Eventually though, someone manages to find the door(which of course opens inward) and squeeze to open it, after which the party practically pours out of the tight space. The room beyond is much larger though, carved violet stone makes up the walls, expensive rugs cover the floors, and most of the ceiling is covered in murals gilded with gold and silver. A center isle with three rows of pews on either side, all facing left, fills most of the room. At the far left wall stands a lectern in front of some kind of shrine. Two figures stand(err sit? float?) in the room, the first to speak could've been mistaken for a child if it hadn't been for the large techno-fairy wings sprouting from her back or the massive floating magical book she was sitting on, otherwise she seemed to be wearing fancy purple and white clothes and a matching vaguely nurse-esqu hat. "Oh my. We didn't expect so many of you." She spoke in a calm, slightly nasally voice with a hint of stressed panic in the background. The second figure, an oversized house cat sitting on one of the pews with grey skin that looked like it had just gotten over a horrible case of mange leaving only a few stray tuffs of blue-grey fur over a thin, bony frame spoke while licking one of his paws and not even looking up at the party. "Well what did you expect? I told you she wasn't going to be bothered to come herself." "Hmph, well you don't have to be so rude about it." The fairy turned to address the party as they picked themselves up "My name is Histoire, I am the Oracle of Planeptune and I called you here to help. Our Goddess Neptune has gone missing not long ago and on top of that there is an anti-Goddess citizen group protesting here and in the other nations. Furthermore there are reports of an international crime syndicate the Goddesses stamped becoming active once again despite its leaders being dead. All of this has me concerned something more is afoot and I'd like you to look into it." She paused for a moment, thinking. "I'll try to answer any questions you may have."
  10. Music: The Siege Ogre in the West steps in the pit full of burning slime, it takes 16 damage. The punji pits in the Southwest likewise see some use, several goblins falling in and being stepped on and shoved down, Horde SW4 takes 18 damage. The lightning golems in the Southeast surround one of the Hordes completely decimating it. The golems in the East start attacking one of the Hordes, thoroughly distracting it. Amelie lines up another shot and finishes off the last Engineers in the East. [2] Jun fires the massive crossbow into a Horde of goblins for 58 damage, those that aren’t taken by the explosion scatter in all directions. Toshiro slashes two groups of goblins for 28 damage each, he gains 14 total HP from this. The Arms Dealer turns his attention to the GIANT DOG MONSTERS OH GOD. He fires wildly dealing 7, 4, 4, 6, and 4 damage. The only Horde in the West decides to cut its losses and get out, they throw down their weapons and run. The Horde in the Southwest hunkers down to protect the newest group of Mages. The Hordes in the Southeast fall upon the wall, dealing a grand 174 damage as small explosions rock across the rubble. The two Hordes able to act in the East take the fight to the Golems, beating them to a fine powder and removing them from the equation. The Dryad casts a Ward granting 25% damage reduction to Kusuke, Satomi, Leo, and Az for one round. Kusuke disappears, only to reappear a few seconds later just as one of the Siege Ogres nearly collapses from the sudden appearance of dozens of deep gashes. He dealt 120 damage. Lucille sends two thunderous claps at the group of Mages, rendering them deaf and dead. An angry cat-dragon flies after the other routed goblins. The Borean Strider stomps into the East crushing the goblin Hordes below it for 22 and 18 damage. The Demo mumbles something about “Amateurs and their half-assed work” before tossing another bomb for 15 and 13 damage. Satomi activates her Trebuchet again, dealing another 64 damage to the already wounded Siege Ogre. It still isn’t quite enough, man these things are tough. The Guide fires another arrow for 10 damage. The Blacksmith, Mason, and Carpenter desperately try to repair the Southeast wall, only managing 35 healing collectively. Four of the Beast riding goblins start ascending the ladders onto the walls, while the last waits it fires an arrow at Jun for 8 damage. The Mages in the Southwest shoot balls of fire at the Dryad and Satomi dealing 12 and 6 damage and setting each on fire for one round. The Mages in the Southeast throw up a barrier around the pyrotechnics using Horde. The Guide Burns. The two remaining Strafers attack bomb the walls for 33 damage. Alone and covered in fire the Siege Ogre in the West decides to run, its masters dominating it no more. Despite actively bleeding to death the first Siege Ogre in the Southeast hammers its fist against the walls for 138! damage. Its fellow follows up with another 108 damage, just enough to trigger and mass collapse. Each Ogre takes 12 backlash damage. The Wall. Comes. Down. Those in the South are no longer protected from melee attacks! The Tavern Keep doesn’t have anything left to attack, isn’t that nice. Rose blasts the healthy Ogre for 20 damage, blowing apart it shield. Leo musters up a mass of mana nearly as large as he is himself, running it through various objects it slowly becomes a mass of black mist. In one smooth motion a billowing cloud of pain washes over the battlefield, everything in its path screams in pain and agony. Once it passes Leo notices a small group of goblins and the wounded Ogre fail to stand again, their corpses releasing a feint black smoke. Those that do stand struggle to actually make any headway. Despair Save: 9 vs 38, Luck: 99, Random Blitz: 17, Everyone hears the distant sound of a small implosion. Snow informs Leo she no longer has any contact with his SPC golems back at the village. He has a really really bad feeling about this. Arminius inspires everyone to kill faster, better, stronger. Piglet rams the tank into the healthy Ogre for 19 and the Mages for 25 damage. [87, 74] Az fires more lightning at the goblins frying them alive with 22 and 26 damage. Turrets: Reinforcements: Init: Status:
  11. Frigus moves to B2, flying over and around any enemies in his way. The Runner and Harry are moved with him. They each have a 10% dodge chance
  12. Plankton Farms: Greg hesitates, looking back and forth between Evelyn, the ground, and up at one of the corners of the room. Eventually he sets down his gun before following Vratislav over to the pipe. "Wait! I don't think that's a good idea. The zombies like hide in these old pipes, we've lost hundreds over the years, no telling how many are in there." He paused and thought about Evelyn's question, considering the best possible ways of getting there. "I saw it as an option on the teleporter. It make take us a jump or two, and we'll either have to go back or try to find another one in this area, but it should work." Personnel Quarters: [52] Deadlift successfully infuses a stray brick, creating a weapon that deals 1d3+[Str] bludgeoning damage. More, louder noises from behind them. Eventually something moves to cover the hole Deadlift made, reducing the light in hear to almost nothing. Robotic HW Assembly: Morp finds floating through walls to be a bad idea. The outside burns, stings, and makes him feel sick all at the same time. Generally something to stay away from. Chelchis sees that one of the doors has three signs: "Control Room", "Teleporter", and "Main Storage". A short hallway later and Chelchis finds herself in a large room full of boxes that seems to have been the sight of combat with some oversized monsters, two lay dead on the floor and numerous burns and bullet holes are all over the boxes and walls. There are two doors worth note, one leading to the Teleporter and another leading to the Control Room, she can hear voices coming from the control room. The group on the production line quickly uncovers a door leading to a stairwell up to the Control Room. The first thing they're greeted with is a man in a lab coat that immediately pulls out a large knife and attempts to stab them with it. Needless to say they're not much of a threat. Other than that not much, the controls are mostly either powered down or unresponsive.
  13. Cell had been preoccupied watching the events of Ritsu and Mar's work on the stuffed...thing but tore himself away when he caught wind of Mar explaining his magic to the two peope who arrived after him. He reached over and pulled one of a series of sacks off his belt and got Mar's attention. He opened the sack up and poured its contents out on a table, bits of gold and rock, colorful gem fragments, a few golden teeth, and even a greenish key shaped to look like it was made of ivy and thorns.
  14. Spicy HG let out a quiet sigh at the new comer's statement, well something between a sigh and a disappointed laugh. She rolled her eyes at his assumptions of success. Fire? Really? Why did they always try fire first? "Thank you, Navin. For stepping in when you did, things probably would've gotten messy fast if you hadn't." She turned back to the other side of the room where, presumably, Bridgett was still standing from evacuating the kitchen. "Now where were we? Oh right, what happened with the cookies?"
  15. Spicy HG stepped into the main room and turned around to start explaining what was going on when the short wizard completely lost it. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" She watched somewhat stunned as he launched a chunk of ice at Dackly and followed up with a fireball only to have it cut off by Navin's quick thinking. She reached for her glaive but paused a second, from what she'd seen and knew of Navin he could probably handle this on his own with less chance of any real injury, so instead she held back, waiting to help should things go bad.
  16. Spicy HG thought to herself for a moment as Bridgett finished, "Oh dear me, how terribly pure and innocent for someone who just got through vaporizing eldritch horrors" Then she walked toward Bridgett a bit(and away from the smoke) before speaking again. "Oh, well it, it was probably something in these old ovens shorting out. They look about five decades out of date so who knows? Let's head back to the main room and give this place some time to clear out." She turned and started making her way to the door, only to catch sight of the small wizard person standing there looking indignant and impatient. "Oh you must be another new person, follow us and we'll explain what happened." With that Spicy HG led them back to the main room where they could sit on various pieces of rubble without choking on smoke while they talked.
  17. Owen paused just a moment, long enough to get an idea of where each one of them was and what was about to happen next. He started to take a step forward, a faint, instead he quickly sidestepped and practically slid around behind Cu. Owen brought his sword up in a defensive position ready to deflect or block whatever attack Cu planned on throwing at him before stepping forward and putting new meaning to the phrase "lightning quick right hook". Fury of the Storm: 5, Action: 6.
  18. The girl looked somewhat confused by 6D's response and quickly lost interest in the conversation between 6D and Rory. She sort of hung around up until the point where they heard the clanging coming from the hallway. "Oh no, another monster!" She jumped to her feet and ran off in the opposite direction not giving 6D or Rory a second look or consideration.
  19. Cell nodded excitedly at Mar's concoction before turning his attention to the Moonsilver ore. He bent down to get a closer look and "rubbed his chin" as if thinking. He goes back to his paper/carving and writes the word "What" in similar crude letters to before.
  20. Spicy HG caught a glimpse of Bridgett heading into the kitchen to do...something, but had chosen to ignore it since she seemed to not like direct confrontation with people and was obviously trying not to be noticed. A few minutes later she heard the cry and smelt the smoke from the oven, Spicy HG got up from where she'd been sitting and immediately ran into the kitchen. She saw Bridgett's weapon pointed at the oven, raised and gathering energy. "What are you doing? Stop, let me get it!" She made her way towards the oven coughing on smoke as she went, once she got there she reached in to pull out the pan of carbonized cookies, closed the oven, and turned it off. She threw the burning cookies in the sink and started dowsing the fire, either with water or her hands if none was available.
  21. That dwarf's commentary on their plan and the need to list every little detail over and over had actually managed to put Garry to sleep, not a small feet for someone who has sat through his own master's lectures. Either way the first blast caused Garry to stir and by the second one he was already collecting his weapons and following the others out the back exit.
  22. Cell quickly nods again before reaching into a pouch on his belt, he pulls out a small pyramid shaped bottle full of a bright orange liquid. Upon opening it up it immediately sends electricity arcing everywhere withing four or five feet, the smell is something akin to corrosion scrapped off a car battery mixed with a healthy dose of bleach. After letting Mar get a whiff he quickly closes it back up so it doesn't break anything.
  23. Cell nodded up and down enthusiastically to Mar's question of him being a warrior. Cell made their way over to one of the work areas and found some paper or at least something to etch letters with and walked back to Mar. Taking his writing surface and implement of choice Cell wrote their own name in crude uneven letters. They then gestured between the writing and themselves several times.
  24. Primary Landing Bay: Roy sees something going on inside one of the hangers, lights flashing, things moving, he gets the feeling he should spread his seeds quickly and get back. Plankton Farms: Evelyn hears more footsteps and sees another flit of shadow going around the tank. From the other side of the tank Vratislav and co. see a bit of a humanoid blur lift the steel mesh from over a roughly four foot wide pipe sticking out of a wall, slide underneath, and go into hiding inside. Just as they're thinking of moving in something happens.... Personnel Quarters: Yoko and Lakia do in fact eventually find Deadlift, he's been screaming to left off a feint blue glow of energy. By the time they reach him they hear something moving above, a sort of whirring and rushing sound, definitely mechanical in nature. They also hear something large move in the distance back the way they came, and something else.... Robotics HW Assembly: Hirata, Yvette, Jezzabella, and Shamhat make their way down the assembly line, they duck around the dangling robotic bodies, skirt around various assembly arms, and generally make slow progress. Eventually though they reach a 90° turn to the left with a large viewing window from some kind of control room on the inside of the curve and about 15ft up. Chelchis(and Morp if they follow) arrive after several minutes of tram ride, quite fast considering the distance they traveled. They step(or float) out onto a catwalk similar to the first, the door ahead of them opens into a hallway that offers only one real choice of direction as the path to the right is collapsed. The path to the left itself leads to another door opening into a large courtyard area full of various target ranges and some sparse greenery.(map updated) One door leads forward from the far side of the courtyard and another leads right fairly near where they are now, but before they get the chance to make a decision... The Entire Facility: A computerized female voice boomed across the facility's PA system. "Intruders detected in: Multiple Sectors. Securrrr...." The voice cut out, electronically warping before slowly fading away, when it returned it was changed, more like a thousand snipits of voice lines chopped into one continuous phrase, frequently sounding distorted and corrupted. "This is the comPUTER Speaking. Pleplepleplease put your weapons on the groundoundound and make your wAY TO THE Central Computing Sector. I-I-I-do not want to harm. harm. harm. harm you in any way. I only wish to-to-to talk." The sound cuts out and nothing more is said.
  25. Cell gestures at the various other people in the room with a look of ultimate confusion, but complete silence. He steps forward and puts a hand up to his throat, shaking his "head" side to side as if to say "no".
