Well, I don't expect anyone to wade through all of this, but:

The Math teacher is saving everyone's asses Smile

which includes 5 ex-military and an Elder. *lol*

by Guest Fri Apr 17, 2009 12:46 pm

lol on that, well the summery, I'll have to read it now

by **Benjamin** Fri Apr 17, 2009 1:14 pm

Well, she 'aint no Acanthus with massive Attribute buffs and packets full of prepped spells ready to be fired off at a moment's notice, but she manages Very Happy

Now just wait until she reaches Space 5.

by Guest Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:09 pm

man that sounds like a cool character idea...

by **shouldabeenadog** Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:52 pm

Hey. Ex-Navy. Totally different from ex-marines. put us on a boat and watch what happens.

by **Benjamin** Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:55 pm

With the current track record, they'd probably drown. Very Happy

by Guest Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:57 pm

damn that's cold

by Lexi Fri Apr 17, 2009 2:59 pm

Just like the sea water they'd be drowning in.

I'm so hurt. But justly. I'm still working out appropriate strategy for captain, but outnumbered is not a happy place.

by Guest Fri Apr 17, 2009 3:14 pm

numbers are even now, with Forces shattered.

by **roadnottaken** Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:29 pm

Let's do the time warp again. XD

I couldn't think of a classy way to include any mentions of pelvic thrusts in the post. :D

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:36 pm

lol

i'm so glad Armstrong made her Resistance roll, that would have been UGLY if she got zapped, too. When I rolled up 4 suxx I though "wow, this might be baaaaaaad..."

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:46 pm

I was hoping to get the Fate guy out of play this turn, that way people aren't suffering massive penalties to all theor rolls anymore.

sigh.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:49 pm

you did, actually -- i had an accounting error Smile

by **shouldabeenadog** Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:54 pm

Alright Armstrong! Thats 2 for you. Now if we can take death out this round, we might surive long enough to get Ruby patched. Also, protect the healer.

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 6:55 pm

By Pythagoras' and Einstein's lovechild, Armstrong's good!

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:01 pm

Don't forget the Damage inflicted on an incapacitated person is equal to the full dice pool minus Armor, no roll required.

I figured I'd give you guys a round instead of just having Spirit cave her head in immediately.

by **shouldabeenadog** Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:04 pm

Yes, but I'm sure the Ananke have protocol about destroying the things that are turning them into pretzels and zapping their spells to peices before squishing something vaguely indistinguishable from a compost heap.

Now, if we all go down, thats when bad things happen.

West, can Armstrong Teleport others at Space 4 or is that a Space 5 effect?

Oh, and if this does not wrap up ASAP, Armstrong's going to start hemorrhaging Paradoxes. She\'ll eat any Havocs, but otherwise we're all going to start going a little crazy or Armstrong's going to sprout a tail.

by **shouldabeenadog** Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:11 pm

Sigh. I've got the mana to suppress the paradox, you've got the paradox that needs suppressing. And no good way to get it to you without dramatically reducing my effectivness. If we can get them down to 4 guys, I can probably ship you a boat of mana.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:12 pm

Apportation is Space 5. Most personal effect spells convert to cast-on-other at +1 Proficiency level.

Channel Mana?

by tsameti Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:14 pm

Sorry guys. I'm gonna throw a yellow flag.

I've got Magic Wall up. If a spell comes my way I've got the option to drop mana to pull dice from their pools

Two spells, two mana. tsk tsk monsieur West.

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:15 pm

Focus on taking down the bad guys first, she can (ugh) scour a dot of Strength for Mana for now.

by tsameti Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:18 pm

focus on not being dead you mean? ;P

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:21 pm

Huh.
I don't see Ruby grinding the bones of her enemies into the dust beneath her boot heel.
Laughing

by tsameti Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:24 pm

Yea... I didn't see Armstrong doing that either! But I guess she's a born killer!

Why would they have such protocol? That thing that's vaguely indistinguishable from a compost heap could easily heal and start zapping their spells to pieces again next round. It's so much easier to permanently take them out of commision than to drop someone else.

Armstrong wouldn't hurt a fly! Thankfully creepy Atlantis-monsters aren't flies.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:47 pm

Major RetCon, Ruby is up and about, go go gadget Magic Shield. No damage on Ensign, either.

by tsameti Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:52 pm

I can't exactly hurt anybody... least I can do is soak somebody else's hurt

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:56 pm

You have at least Matter 4, you can turn the ground underneath the bad guys to mud, or acid, or even into a really deep pit if you aren't feeling creative

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:59 pm

On a side note, since that got mentioned; when Matter Mages do that, Targets will receive something like a STR+Ath roll to avoid falling; no attack rolls without appropriate defense rolls.

by tsameti Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:02 pm

not without spending Mana.

I was saving it for you know, not dying. Plus, hurting stuff doesn't exactly come naturally to miss Ruby.

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:05 pm

Hurting people shouldn't, but (at least in Armstrong's opinion) things don't count.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:08 pm

I can see Ruby wondering about whatever force is animating the Ananke.

by **Benjamin** Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:13 pm

Well when things, at least as far as Armstrong has been able to tell (granted, she really hasn't done any in depth examinations), start throwing fire and lightning and curses and popping people a few minutes into the future, the safety goes off. I'm sure if they were people, she'd do something else less hostile.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:18 pm

I'm sure Vector would be glad to know that Smile

by **roadnottaken** Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:21 pm

Who's Vector?

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:22 pm

Ando = Vector

by **roadnottaken** Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:28 pm

What's he worried about? The only one who was actually trying to hurt him was suffering from a bout of lousy aim. Not that he had any compunction about hurting us, though.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:31 pm

I don't remember him doing anything to y'all until someone started mucking with his lower level instincts Smile

by **roadnottaken** Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:37 pm

Maybe not, but he sure blasted the crap out of Calligan.

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:39 pm

Maybe Cal tried to blast him, and lost control of the spell via Paradox?

by Guest Mon Apr 20, 2009 8:47 pm

Just to be the devil's advocate of course. lol

by **roadnottaken** Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:30 am

Then we could have some very interesting roleplaying opportunities coming up, at least hypothetically.

by **Benjamin** Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:57 am

Assuming we all survive this, would anybody be interested in having their characters join up as a Cabal so we can have those discussions?

by Guest Tue Apr 21, 2009 12:58 am

speaking of which, it's been two or three weeks since Organiker logged on (directed to road & jmil).

by **roadnottaken** Tue Apr 21, 2009 1:06 am

Yeah, I'd noticed that he's been MIA. I'd certainly be willing to cabal up. I can't speak for jmiland, but the two of us were cabaling up anyway.
