Afternoon, Merch 1 Milfday.
The convertor is so much rubble.
Its assailants flap around the room, looking for more targets. They see nine of them.
WC GM: Battle order: CocatorisI:32 CocatorisK:32 Riia:29 CocatorisF:29 CocatorisG:28 CocatorisJ:28 Sakha:27 CocatorisB:27 CocatorisE:27 ORN:25 CocatorisA:25 Pak:24 CocatorisH:24 CocatorisC:23 CocatorisD:23 Hector:22 Ahiru:20 Eric:17 Cassandra:16 Felicia:14
[OOC] Riia: Heh. I see where the name is derived from.
[OOC] Riia: Also, wow they're fast.
[OOC] ORN: for a second there I thought I read cocoatris….
[OOC] Sakha: Wake me up Riia, I'll make us faster
[OOC] WC GM: SPD 22, and I'm grabbing these monsters from one of my usual sources, so you can look 'em up by name there.
[OOC] Riia: *gives the kitty a cookie*
[OOC] Sakha: Hastega yo
[OOC] Riia: *gives the kitty's player a cookie =p*
Two of the birds swoop in on Cassandra and Felicia, just gazing at them.
[OOC] Riia: different kitty. …actually there are too many kitties here…
WC GM rolled 2d100 and got 8, 96 for a total of 104
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: oh..Bonecrusher…maybe!
[OOC] Riia: Petrify…
Felicia evades! Cassandra is a statue. (Stone (U) )
[OOC] WC GM: Riia!
[OOC] Felicia: Yeah, no.
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: Fak.
[OOC] Riia: Sakha - you still have that Alarm Clock on your tail?
[OOC] ORN: hm. w:wind
Hector: "Oh, crap."
[OOC] Hector: I have a Soft!
Eric Lionheart: "Hmm, they are capible of instantly turning someone into stone…"
[OOC] Pak: You still need an alarm clock in your inventory to use it
[OOC] Pak: >_> <_<
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: I have Esuna once my updates are complete. >.>
[OOC] Hector: GO GO GO ERIC
[OOC] Riia: Then do I have to hit her?
[OOC] Hector: I'll charge up my AoE to end the battle ASAP.
ORN: "That would not seem like such of a 'bad' thing"
Eric Lionheart: "Being stone is not a bad thing?"
Eric Lionheart: "…I wonder if you are immune to their attack."
[OOC] Hector: Is it like freeze, in that if you get hit, you die?
ORN half glares at Eric for a moment
[OOC] WC GM: Riia: you could do a pulled blow on Sakha, if you wanted.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: No, you can't even be hit technically while Stoned.
[OOC] Hector: Or is it basically "can't do anything, can't take damage"?
[OOC] WC GM: The latter
Riia swings her rifle at Sakha, trying to get her to pay attention for once!
Riia rolled 1d100 and got 37 ( Total: 37 )
[OOC] WC GM: Stone is complete invulnerability! At a price.
[OOC] WC GM: Hit
[OOC] Hector: It's like, uh…Ironize, in Dragon Warrior.
[OOC] Riia: Pulled is 50% damage, yes?
[OOC] WC GM: Yes
[OOC] Pak: Clang! :3
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Correct. Usually when people pull blows they end up critting…
[OOC] Pak: Your body becomes a lump of steel!
[OOC] WC GM: Actually, they've changed that: pulled blows can't crit any more.
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: No, that is when I do it…get it right.
Riia rolled 3d12+325,50% and got 2, 7, 2 for a total of 168.0
[OOC] Felicia: Cant do anything, cant take damage, impervious to all status effects beneficial or otherwise
Eric Lionheart: "I don't believe I can properly shield us against their attack at this time."
Eric Lionheart: "Best I can do is undo what they do."
Felicia: "Then we better end this quickly, Hm?"
[OOC] WC GM: Although, Sakha being Unaware adds +100% - so that's 504, ARM damage.
[OOC] Pak: …wat
[OOC] Felicia: Congratulations
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Congrats. You just killed the biggest source of damage we got.
[OOC] WC GM: No, Sakha's still up. But in Fury, I think.
[OOC] Riia: So, why did nobody mention this?
[OOC] Pak: Because we didn't think of it.
[OOC] Pak: >_>;
[OOC] Hector: I thought it was SOS-Fury only.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Because the game has stupid rules.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: And the devs as such are morons.
[OOC] WC GM: Right - isn't that enough to put Sakha in SoS?
[OOC] Sakha: 28 hp
[OOC] Felicia: -stupid rules +things to prevent you from abusing unaware disad lulz
[OOC] Felicia: Also that's how the status works, so yeah
[OOC] Hector: The problem is that the Unaware Disadvantage is SO HORRIBLY CRIPPLING.
Eric Lionheart: "…"
[OOC] Felicia: THEN DONT PICK IT
[OOC] ORN: gotta agree with Felicia there. Mind you should probably be worth a little more than, 2 is it?
[OOC] Hector: I didn't.
[OOC] Felicia: Problem solved
[OOC] Riia: Terra did. Problem remains.
Three more birds swoop in, gazing at Ahiru, Pak, and Hector.
WC GM rolled 3d100 and got 93, 72, 18 ( Total: 183 )
[OOC] Felicia: Well you didnt follow step 1: Don't pick it :p
Ahiru and Pak dodge! Hector is Stoned.
[OOC] WC GM: Sakha!
Sakha is in a fury.
[OOC] Felicia: Disadvantages tend to be Disadvantageous
[OOC] Sakha: We still letting limit breaks go during Fury?
[OOC] Hector: OH FUCK YOU
[OOC] WC GM: Yes, you can still LB during Fury.
[OOC] Hector: If I'm going to be stoned the whole damn fight, I'll just play my DS and look up every ten minutes.
Sakha takes her ribbon and throws it out, wrapping around her opponent, the weighted end bonking against them a few times, then she pulls the whole thing back, making the opponent spin and get sleepily dizzy, taking a bit of energy back with her and feeling refreshed, leaving them to fall dazed to the ground. ~Topspin~
[OOC] Sakha: oops wrong macro
Sakha composes herself, the magical energy building around her. She taps her nose three times and the energy shoots to the sky, summoning dark clouds that blot out the sun. It however does not rain, but shower millions of tiny ice needles that slip through the cracks of armor and convey their mistress' pain to her enemies. ~Rain of Needles~
[OOC] Felicia: indeed
[OOC] Hector: o_O
[OOC] Riia: Pen - OTOH, you need Advantages to make your character not-blah, and that means you need Disadvantages. Personally I'd make the Ads cost a bit more but give you free points.
[OOC] Felicia: They might be dead anyway
[OOC] ORN: o.o Megaman 3 reference?
[OOC] Felicia: Nah
[OOC] Hector: Talespin. D:
[OOC] Felicia: You can play without Ads pretty easy. Most of them are just buffs so you dont have to get equipment to cover for them
[OOC] Hector: King Louie = best monkey ever
[OOC] Hector: Better than Hideyoshi.
[OOC] Felicia: Crit+, Status Resist, Element Enhancer, etc etc
[OOC] Pak: Doesn't Sakha have her next ice-blasting limit yet?
[OOC] ORN: top spin dude. the shittiest robot master weapon in any game. you … do a 360
Sakha rolled 3d8+466,125% and got 8, 8, 5 for a total of 608.75
[OOC] Hector: Top Spin = DO A BARREL ROLL
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: ORN: That kills the last boss instantly if I recall.
[OOC] Sakha: Piercing, and no I don't last limit I got was Strength of Family.
[OOC] Pak: Oh, rite
The birds REALLY did not like that.
[OOC] Sakha: oh wait forgot to ad Fury damage
[OOC] ORN: technically shadowblade was stronger
[OOC] WC GM: Fury only adds to physical damage, no?
[OOC] WC GM: This is magical/elemental.
[OOC] WC GM: Thus, PE: Ice adds.
[OOC] Felicia: Only attack actions
[OOC] Felicia: but you're ruling that LBs are attack actions
[OOC] Felicia: For god knows what reason
[OOC] ORN: and search snake was easier and took like 2 seconds
[OOC] Sakha: indeed, I got the bonus before
Two more birds swoop in on ORN - but see nothing to gaze at, so settle for scratching the golem.
WC GM rolled 2d100 and got 81, 17 ( Total: 98 )

Their claws shred for 222, ARM then 224, ARM damage.
[OOC] WC GM: ORN!
[OOC] Hector: Considering Orn's auto-protect, that probably didn't do dick.
[OOC] ORN: it did a little but not much
ORN having little choice does what he does second best after eating, holding up an arm and tearing the room up with lightning
ORN rolled 4d12+390 and got 9, 6, 11, 7 for a total of 423

After the flurry of tearing is done, one of the birds seeks an elevated perch. (Flight)
[OOC] WC GM: Pak!
[OOC] ORN: oh gawds where's my calculator
[OOC] Hector: holy shit.
Pak o_o
[OOC] Hector: That's like…fatal.
Pak: "…Okay…"
Eric Lionheart: "…"
[OOC] Hector: FATAL TO THE INFINITY.

[OOC] Eric Lionheart: If he didn't have high HP and Protect on… >.>
[OOC] ORN: actually even if it kills me that first hit triggered dragonheart
[OOC] ORN: but gah the calcs
Pak looks back at the converter.
Pak: "…"
Pak GRABS IT!
Pak: "Alright, you! T.T"
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: …The converter was destroyed. o.O
Pak grabbed part of it.
[OOC] Pak: He's not even lifting it
Pak points! "Let's see if you can handle EVEN MORE GAMBLETRONIC ALIEN POWERRRR~"
Pak rolled up 1d10: 1
Eric Lionheart: "…"
[OOC] Pak: …gf
Pak rolled up 1d10: 8
Pak rolled up 1d100: 6
Pak rolled up 1d100: 33
[OOC] Pak: pass, pass… >:3
Pak *_*!!!
Pak floats into the air. Wings appear behind his body.
Eric Lionheart: "…This is getting intresting."
[OOC] ORN: oh wow. LAST hit took me out, autoreraise. 1/477hp.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Lucky.
[OOC] Riia: Angel Pak
Pak opens his mouth… and a HUUUUUGE blast of magical energy fires out! "MEGA FLARE~!!!"
[OOC] Riia: Also, yay for Limit
Pak rolled 4d10+504 and got 5, 9, 8, 2 for a total of 528
[OOC] Pak: Hits all targets. Magical M. ARM damage.
When the blast fades, the birds are gone. Little piles of dust fall to the floor.
Eric Lionheart: "…"
Pak *_*
The piece of the convertor Pak grabbed wobbles a bit.
Pak lands.
Eric Lionheart: "Impressive."
It cracks, like an eggshell.
Pak: "…Oooh?"
A baby Cocatoris wobbles out.
[OOC] Hector: Petrify doesn't wear off after battle, does it?
Pak: "…o_o"
Eric Lionheart: "…Now that looks cute."
[OOC] WC GM: Nope. And the battle is still going.
Pak: "…Unstone Hector!"
[OOC] Hector: o_O
Pak: "And Cassie!~"
[OOC] Riia: Wuh-oh
Hector is a statue.
Pak: "Before they become living eggs! >.<"
[OOC] WC GM: Ahiru!
Eric Lionheart: "I'll get to her in a moment."
ORN: "Interesting method of reproduction…"
[OOC] Hector: I can unstone.
Eric Lionheart: "And him too. Hmm."
[OOC] Hector: So eric could unstone me and I'll unstone Cassie.
[OOC] Hector: I bought Softs MONTHS ago.
[OOC] Riia: I can unstone, or I can supress the stone…
Pak hmph. "It's too late for you, though! *_* That machine taught me even more about my own powers!"
[OOC] Sakha:
Pak seems confident!
[OOC] Sakha: Unstone, Stone is U
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Hector: You can't unstone this turn. >.>;
[OOC] Ahiru: Are the targets flying?
[OOC] WC GM: They can fly, though the one remaining target is not out of melee range yet.
[OOC] Felicia: Why not? @ Eric
[OOC] WC GM: Hector's init has passed
Ahiru uses Nature's Breath.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Because his init passed. :P
[OOC] Felicia: ah
[OOC] Hector: fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: I should totally Tame one of these things for usage against the Trio. >.>
Ahiru rolled up 3d8+200: 213
[OOC] Felicia: Already I: Seal
[OOC] WC GM: Eric!
[OOC] Hector: If this was an IRC game, I'd probably throw something large and heavy at WC's face and storm out of the room.
[OOC] Ahiru: 213 HP to EVERYBODY
[OOC] Hector: IRL, not IRC.
[OOC] Riia: IRL?
[OOC] Felicia: Also what the-psh
[OOC] ORN: 160/477
[OOC] ORN: anyone in SOS I'll protect for one hit possibly two now.
[OOC] Felicia: There is you and sakha, then either full people or stone people
[OOC] WC GM: Actually, ORN, I think you're the lowest HP of everyone.
Eric_Lionheart examines Cassandra. "Hmm…ah, I see. I know what to do." He taps his staff on her, as the tip glows, the magic seeping into the stone and shattering it, revealing a far more fleshy and mobile Cassandra. (Esuna)
[OOC] ORN: with my rolls, no kidding
[OOC] WC GM: Actually, with their Counter.
[OOC] WC GM: Cassandra!
Cassandra_Lionheart is pissed and swings for the fences at the bird!
[OOC] ORN: oh, thought you meant hp rolls at level ^^;
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 1d100 and got 70 for a total of 70

Cassandra Lionheart rolled 3d12+255 and got 3, 11, 3 for a total of 272
WC GM rolled 1d100 and got 55 ( Total: 55 )
The bird does not quite get its claws into position to counterattack in time.
[OOC] WC GM: Felicia!
Cassandra Lionheart: "You Creep!"
Felicia: "…"
Felicia generates a small torrent of wind about her blade, and slashes down at the remaining bird.
Felicia rolled 1d100 and got 13 ( Total: 13 )
[OOC] ORN: bye birdie ^^:
Felicia: "Die."
[OOC] WC GM: Crit, I believe?

[OOC] WC GM: It had 949 HP remaining. It's down to 88.
WC GM: Status Phase - Hector: Stone(U)
[OOC] Hector: Status Phase: Hector - Fucked.
[OOC] Hector: Seriously I can't do FUCK anymore because the dice keep shitting on me.
[OOC] ORN: er, no. you might be stone but you're still a dude.
[OOC] Riia: Eh
[OOC] ORN: not touching that
[OOC] Riia: Someone will unstone you soon.
[OOC] Riia: Won't be Riia, IC reasons.
[OOC] Riia: On that note, how much HP is Sakha at?
[OOC] Hector: Riia doesn't like me? ;_;
WC GM: Battle order: Eric:26 Hector:24 CocatorisL:23 Riia:21 Sakha:20 Ahiru:20 ORN:20 Felicia:19 Pak:18 Cassandra:16
[OOC] WC GM: Eric!
[OOC] Riia: Riia didn't almost kill you
[OOC] ORN: Riia's rushing over crying to the convertor is all
[OOC] Riia: Screw that
[OOC] Sakha: 241
Eric_Lionheart Esunas Hector.
[OOC] WC GM: Hector!
Hector: "Alright! Back in business!"
[OOC] Riia: The only reason Riia didn't break the converter earlier was politeness
Eric Lionheart: "Indeed. Do eliminate that last one, could you?"
Hector: "…what the?"
Hector: "That's all that's left? You guys must have been busy."
[OOC] Riia: Too many possibilities towards Pak, Bunnygirl, Moontech, etc
Hector: "Alright, then I'll see what I can do." He attacks!
[OOC] Riia: "Nah, we just forgot to unstone you"
Hector rolled 1d100-201 and got 71 for a total of -130
[OOC] WC GM: hit
Hector rolled 4d10+260 and got 3, 1, 4, 7 for a total of 275
Hector has murdered an innocent baby Cocatoris. Well, perhaps not so innocent.
[OOC] ORN: if it was innocent it wouldn't be hostile
In any case, there do not seem to be any remaining.
[OOC] ORN: now its simply dinner
[OOC] Hector: Are the enemies that got killed still poachable?
WC GM rolled 12d100 and got 6, 100, 96, 43, 8, 57, 77, 21, 67, 94, 39, 57 for a total of 665
[OOC] WC GM: Yep
[OOC] Hector: Or is tlike "nothing left, not even hamburger"?

Hector picks further into the dead birds in an attempt to get the most rewards possible.
Hector rolled 12d100 and got 32, 47, 88, 96, 51, 40, 35, 75, 59, 68, 38, 35 for a total of 664

WC GM rolled 11d100 and got 26, 50, 30, 16, 51, 66, 72, 44, 94, 50, 47 for a total of 546
[OOC] Hector: Poach is 100, so if there's no penalties…
Riia Hi-Potions Sakha, looking over for any wounds caused by the bullet not missing as much as it was supposed to
[OOC] WC GM: Eh, they're weak drops, so sure, no penalties.
Sakha eyes Riia and sighs. "Next time, don't hit me."
Riia nods a bit tearfully
Cassandra_Lionheart looks around at the carnage "I should have closed my eyes."
Pak: ">_> Rifles are strong."
Pak: "You should use a knife instead. Much less dangerous!"
[OOC] Sakha: How much does Riia's HiPot heal?
Hector: "I do think that was pretty overboard of ya, Riia."
12 Softs, 9 Ultra Potions, and 2 Remedies remain.
Pak: "…Also, you missed me turning all DRAGON MAN and burninating!"
Pak >:3
Felicia grabs 2 Softs and 2 Ultra Potions.
[OOC] WC GM: 250 HP, since RiiaChemist doubles HiPot effect.
Hector pats Pak on the head. "I'm sure it was impressive."
Pak grabs a remedy.
Hector takes three more Softs and 3 Ultra Potions.
Cassandra Lionheart: "That is it..I am asking for Mirrored sunglasses next time."
Riia grabs three softs and ultra potions
ORN assimilates the remains after hector sifts through them, and assimilates the party a little for Reis Wind ((IC regen?))
Pak looks over the broken machine and pats it.
[OOC] WC GM: Sure re: Regen. All 6 rounds will pass before anything happens.
[OOC] Hector: Cassie wants dramatic lens flare like Coach?
[OOC] ORN: 4 actually.
Pak: "Sorry you got destroyed by horrible bird monsters, converter."
[OOC] WC GM: 4, right.
Pak: "But you taught me a valuable lesson!"
Eric Lionheart: "I suspect the moogles will not be impressed that their converter was destroyed."
ORN then takes a look at the busted machine and tries a quick taste, to see if its still dangerous
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: No..so I don't get stoned again..
Pak: "…Turning money into ridiculously powerful magical blasts is fun!"
Riia looks over the converter, trying to see if it can be rebuilt - or replaced…
The machine is no longer functional. It is, while grainy, edible to ORN.
ORN grabs one ultrapotion and uses it
Pak: "…Uh, wait."
Riia holds up a sign - "Get moogles"
[OOC] Felicia: Ultras are Party dood
Hector puts his hands in his pockets.
Pak: "…Don't these moogles need these?"
Hector: "Maybe they do."
[OOC] ORN: then everyone apply it
[OOC] Riia: Even turned to stone and shattered, this is Riia's chance to take a look at the inside of the machine.
ORN: "Riia: This system no longer attempts counterassimilation."
ORN: "It could be safely studied, but it is rather grainy and gritty tasting"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Anyways…" *me goes for a Moogle*
Moogles are easily found just outside. "What happened?" "I heard birds." "Oh no! Did they get to the convertor?"
Felicia: "Unfortunately."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Yes they did."
Riia sighs
Hector: "Well, tragedies happen. Just gotta move on, I s'pose."
Pak: "Yeah… They stoned it."
Riia walks away from the useless scrap
Pak: "And turned it into a hatchery. >_>"
[OOC] Riia: And yes, that s does disappear in the end of useless
[OOC] WC GM: 9120 XP & 3420 Gil each from the battle, BTW.
Pak: "On the plus side, I'm now even more confident!" >:3
Riia holds up a sign - "maybe can find plans for replacement?"
Riia bites her lip…
ORN: "It is still edible. Does it require noncrystaline parts to build?"
Moogles: "Stone?""That would do it.""I heard they tried that with Mogmo's.""It's irrepairable like that."
Hector pets Pak idly, while thinking of what to say.
Riia thinks to herself, nodding slowly…
Moogles: "A hatchery?""You mean, they're making it more of themselves?""So THAT'S how they're making so many birds.""Just when we thought we'd hunted them all down."
Cassandra Lionheart: "We are sorry we let it happen."
Riia raises her sign: "Ask if they made or bought machine"
ORN looks at eric
ORN: "Could you not simply reverse the effect as you did them?"
Eric Lionheart: "I could give it a shot."
Riia sighs, pokes ORN, and points at her sign
ORN stares at Riia
ORN: "They may not be capable of that."
Riia posts: "Ask anyway"
ORN: "Or they may have tried to hammer at it until it worked"
Eric_Lionheart casts Esuna on the stoned, shattered converter.
Riia replaces that again: "I need to know."
Eric manages to unstone the pieces. There is now a pile of ice shards in front of Eric.
ORN glares at the moogles
ORN: "Did you buy or build this system?"
Riia quickly replaces the sign: "Politely, please"
Eric Lionheart: "Hmm."
Eric Lionheart: "I wonder if it can be fixed now."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Maybe…It did crack open though."
Moogles: "Build.""Who would we buy it from?""Maybe they're thinking we bought it from the main plant.""Oh! No, those guys just give out convertors."
Riia hmms
Felicia: "It's just ice though…"
Pak: "…Main Plant?"
Riia raises sign: "Ask if sold to moon people"
Moogles: "It takes special equipment to build these things.""The designs were gifts from our 'friends', to convince us to help them home in on us."
Riia blinks
Riia raises "Never mind"
ORN nod at Riia
Hector: "Huh."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Your friends?"
ORN: "The invasion force"
Riia holds sign: "Invaders"
Moogles: "They told us how to build the tools, and the tools to build the tools.""Cheap information to bribe us.""If only we'd known."
Riia raises sign: "Ask if designs in Main Library"
Cassandra_Lionheart sighs
Moogles: "We would've taken their info and shunned them anyway."
Hector: "Sight's always clearer when you're lookin' backwards."
ORN turns and looks behind him
Hector: "But ya gotta look forward, with eyes just as clear."
[OOC] Riia: Would have or should have?
[OOC] WC GM: Would have - had they known
[OOC] Riia: Gotcha, so somewhere in between.
ORN turns back to Hector and eyes suspiciously
Riia sighs and starts thinking-
Hector: "It's a figure a'speech, y'damned tactless pile a'rock."
Riia stops, taps ORN, points at the sign again
Hector: "Considerin' how many libraries we've visited, we shoulda got you one a'them manners and language books."
Pak is just sitting around. <3
[OOC] Riia: That's right, killing two birds with one stone-man.
Pak: "Ahh, it's nice to get sudden insight~"
ORN: "This Unit should not be berated for your own innacuracies."
ORN: "Are the designs for the system to be found in your main library?"
Hector sighs and facepalms.
Eric Lionheart: "…"
Pak: "They said so before, I believe."
Hector is pretty sure Orn's lack of tact is a design glitch.
ORN turns to Riia
Riia switches the sign and shows it to Hector: "He's not being tactless right now. For once."
Moogles: "Of course they are!""What kind of main library would it be if it didn't have THAT?"
[OOC] Pak: brb. Hungly
Cassandra Lionheart: "well, lets find the Main library then."
Riia flips it to "Please don't get him started."
Eric Lionheart: "So we gotta find that library then."
Riia nods
Felicia: "Weren't we doing that anyway?"
Moogles: "But first, we should get a new convertor.""Off to the main plant!""You'll come along too, won't you?"
Riia blink-
Hector: "Are there more rooms fulla guns 'n bats?"
Riia nods eagerly, but then hesitates and looks at the rest of the party
Moogles: "Guns, yes.""Hopefully no more birds.""They're there to keep the enemies OUT, you see."
Hector: "'cause I wouldn't want t'be responsible for all that death you guys'd get from bein' shot at."
Moogles: "Oh, those ones shouldn't lock down like that.""Hopefully.""Even these weren't technically malfunctioning - they knew the enemy was close.""Yeah. We just didn't see them."
Hector: "So…it was just this group a'guns that were shootin' at us 'cause it couldn't actually see the bats?"
ORN: "They should prove non-hostile to your kind. Holding a few of you up in front should ensure This Group's safety."
Pak: "Hmm."
Riia nods
Pak: "I wanna see the main plant!"
ORN nods back
Cassandra_Lionheart sighs
Pak: ":3"
Eric Lionheart: "We aren't using them as shields, ORN."
Hector: "Bats or…birds. Whatever those things are."
ORN: "Negative. This Unit was not trained in the use of such devices. Wearing one on one's arm would be… disturbing, in any case."
[OOC] Riia: ORN probably doesn't see anything wrong with using someone as a shield - he does that all the time, with himself
Eric Lionheart: "…"
Eric Lionheart: "I'll rephrase…we aren't using them period in a effort to not be shot at."
Cassandra_Lionheart nods
Felicia: "…"
Riia puts a hand on Eric's arm in a calming gesture, and holds up a sign: "Except to disarm security."
Riia starts thinking again…
Eric Lionheart: "…Well, that might be a good idea."
ORN: "See?"
Riia holds up a sign: "Ask them if they remember how map worked"
ORN says it like that's what he meant ».»
You feel the glacier shudder a bit as it gets into motion.
Eric Lionheart: "…Hmm."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Okay.."
Pak wah~
Pak: "So, we're on our way someplace interesting!"
Eric Lionheart: "Indeed."
Riia sighs and taps ORN and points at the sign
Pak: "Maybe there we can get pointed to the converter. :3"
Felicia nods.
ORN: "… …"
ORN: "You remember how maps function?"
ORN stares at the moogles
Moogles: "Well, we hope.""The main plant isn't around here.""So it's got to be elsewhere.""We'll just tool around and eventually run into it.""We hope."
ORN: "… ."
Pak: "…"
ORN shakes head NO at Riia
Pak: "…I can cast Sight."
Eric Lionheart: "So can I."
Pak: "Would that help?
Moogles: "Maps?""Yeah, if you have one.""Leads you right to where you're going.""Why, you have one?"
Pak: "…We have a map."
Pak >_>
Pak: "Felicia, let's show them the map!"
[OOC] Riia: Not enough range on Sight, remember?
Cassandra_Lionheart watches the back and forth action.
Moogles: "Sight?""Isn't that, like, only a few kilometers?""Well, it CAN be boosted."
[OOC] Riia: Oh, the landmap
Felicia: "Eh? But it's… Hm."
Moogles: "Oh yeah!""Sight booster!""Did we have one?"
Felicia reaches into her armor and pulls it out.
Eric Lionheart: "If you have one in your possession, that would be useful."
Moogles: "…that's a map of the land below.""That doesn't show where our main plant is.""How could it? Everything up here drifts around."
Felicia: "Indeed."
Eric Lionheart: "Was it over land or sea?"
Cassandra_Lionheart looks and sighs
Pak: "Sight Booster would be handy."
ORN: "Orbital paths could be traced, however. And anyone looking down may remember references which could help in locating it without This Group having to spend more time than necessary in this place"
ORN: "For example, mountain ranges, or the Volcannon unit."
Moogles: "Land or sea?""Both, depending on where it was.""Orbital paths?""We're not THAT high up. The volcanos shred most clouds trying to pass by them!"
Cassandra_Lionheart sighs "Poor Moogles."
Riia holds up sign: "Also wind changes course"
Eric Lionheart: "Hmm. Without some sort of booster, finding it will be difficult."
Moogles: "Yeah, wasn't the main plant trying to get far far away from that?""Oh yeah!""As far from the volcanos as it could get."
[OOC] WC GM: Navigation, anyone, if you want a hint.
Eric Lionheart rolled 1d100 and got 100 for a total of 100
Riia rolled 1d100 and got 46 ( Total: 46 )
[OOC] ORN: as far away as possible from the Volcannon would be the opposite point on the map
ORN rolled 1d100 and got 46 ( Total: 46 )
[OOC] Riia: Fail by 26
Eric_Lionheart is clearly too distracted pondering how things work.
[OOC] ORN: fail default a bit
Felicia rolled 1d100 and got 43 for a total of 43
Cassandra_Lionheart has no clue whatsoever, and sighs.
[OOC] Felicia: Pass by 57butts
Hector rolled 1d100 and got 73 ( Total: 73 )
[OOC] Hector: Pass by 7 on no penalty.
Felicia: "So… north?"
Moogles: "North?""Why north?"
Felicia: "Or… Hm. All the volcanoes are near the center; The equator."
Hector: "So away from the volcanoes is north, towards the poles."
ORN: "Or south. Towards the other poles."
Hector: "…does the teleportation curtain extend this high?"
Moogles: "Oh!""That makes sense!""Tell the engine tenders to go north!""Aye-aye!"
The cloud tilts, briefly, as it banks northward.
Cassandra_Lionheart watches and sighs
Moogles: "Teleportation curtain?""Oh, you mean that glowing anti-melt seal?""Nah, it's just there to keep the ice cap intact."
Pak: "…oxo"
Felicia quickly adjusts her stance, wary of falling off, despite the size of the cloud. "…I hate flying."
Felicia: "Anti-what now?"
Pak: "Anti-melt? huh."
ORN: "This Unit would suggest you elaborate"
Moogles: "You didn't know?""The ice caps have melted over the past 100 years.""Thank the new moon and other things."
Pak: "O…oh."
ORN: "The Icecaps are inaccessible by ground"
Moogles: "Not any more they're not, no."
Eric Lionheart: "And why is this?"
ORN: "That would imply the system failed recently would it not."
Moogles: "There used to be a lot more land area.""Then the ice melted, flooding and raising the sea level to cover things."
Riia blinks
Moogles: "The barrier isn't our idea.""We just saw it being set up.""We think the mithra had something to do with it.""They were the first and hardest hit."
Riia frowns
Pak: "Hm. :x"
Hector: "Huh."
Moogles: "It seems to be being maintained by those on the other side.""Yeah, they don't want to be without ice."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Wow."
Felicia blinks.
Pak: "Interesting. >.>"
Riia holds up a sign - "If they did, they failed - they lost tech"
Riia frowns at that…
Moogles: "So it's a cooperative arrangement.""One side doesn't want to lose ice, the other doesn't want to lose more land.""Some still seeps out. Maybe the barrier doesn't go low enough?"
Riia glances at the repaired Trombe and looks a bit unsure of her last statement
Felicia: "So… one could go under it?"
ORN: "… This Unit, and likely Ahiru, could go under easily then. However the others may find it difficult to breathe."
Moogles: "Yeah, probably.""If you had a way to go underwater."
[OOC] Riia: The tunnels wrap.
[OOC] Riia: Under the crust, though…
Riia frowns and holds up a sign: "Tunnels hit barrier"
Cassandra_Lionheart is confused, and looks at Eric "Are you getting ANY of this?"
Riia gives people a chance to read that, then replaces it with "Either under crust, or there are holes"
Riia grimaces and shakes her head at that
Riia sighs and holds up "Water couldn't pass lava, holes it is"
Riia blinks and grins evilly
Riia holds up a sign: "How far can ORN eat?"
Felicia: "…"
ORN: "… How long does This Unit have?"
Riia shrugs
Riia holds up sign: "If can make tunnel from pole to lava, will melt enemy cap."
ORN: "… … …"
Riia holds up another "…and hurt friendlies. Rats."
ORN picks up Riia and hugs
Riia sighs
ORN pulses blue for a moment and sparkles
Hector scratches hsi head.
Riia holds up a sign: "Only if can prevent flood."
ORN: "Sakha can freeze things again afterwards"
[OOC] WC GM: True love? XD
Eric Lionheart: "…I am utterly confused."
Riia blinks
ORN: "All of the destruction, none of the innocents"
Riia flips up: "Hmm. How can seal hole back up?"
Pak: "Hmm."
ORN: "This Unit will assimilate as it eats. It can be sealed up when needed given a few moments, relative to the size of the apperture"
Pak: "Could we get some sort of underwater travel device?"
Riia nods slowly…
Riia looks at Pak: "I could make, but need air to breathe."
Pak: "Hmm."
Riia tracks her gaze over to Ahiru, then on to the Moogles
Felicia: "A few of us could generate air… perhaps."
The trip north takes about a day. Around nightfall, the party starts to get hungry.
ORN finishes off what's left of the convertor then. They didn't seem to mind it anymore.
Eric Lionheart: "…Hmm."
Pak is getting hungry. ;.;
Pak 's stomach growls…
ORN: "Sakha, how much can you freeze at once? There should be a rather massive release of steam and water. A few icebergs should not be an issue for your capabilities correct?"
Hector yawns.
ORN checks the map to try and figure out given the tunnels they know of what the quickest way to link arctic and magma would be
ORN can very easily figure that the fastest way would be straight down, once at the arctic.
Pak grumble grumble ;_;
Pak: "I-i'm hungryyy!"
Riia blinks
ORN: "There should be rapid underground access from beneath the pole. This could require several hours to several days depending on the composition, however. Will this be acceptable Riia?"
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at Pak and blinks "How much energy DID you expend with that fire blech??"
[OOC] Riia: HP and MP fully restored! *growl* But you're still hungry…
Moogles: "Yes.""Not having a convertor does that.""The convertor was our sustinence maintainer.""We can go for some time without it, but not forever."
[OOC] Riia: So that's - hmm….
Riia blinks
ORN: "This Unit will save This Group some choice formations from below."
Riia holds up a sign: "Where birds from?"
ORN: "Eggs"
ORN nods at Riia
Riia grimaces and changes the sign to "Ask Moogles where birds from"
ORN: "Riia wishes to know where to find birds"
Pak: ";_;"
Riia shakes head quickly
Riia changes: "Are birds from planet? Or made on moon?"
Moogles: "FIND the birds?""We'd rather not, thank you.""They're enemy creations.""Unless you mean to counterattack their makers?"
Riia nods
Riia signs: "Thought so. Is why attack converter-"
ORN: "Their creators will be eliminated in time with appropriately extreme prejudice. There is something to be learned after all from them."
Riia furthersigns: "To starve."
Moogles: "They're fired up from the enemy positions.""They're clustered around the poles."
Riia signs to Sakha: "Can you make food from plasma?"
Hector: "Hm."
Riia taps Sahka lightly, to get her attention
Cassandra_Lionheart then notices her stomach growl also
Dawn breaks eventually, and still the cloud sails on.
[OOC] WC GM: Presumably the party slept somewhere in there.
Pak 's stomach grumbles.
[OOC] Riia: Terra- you still there?
Cassandra_Lionheart stomach grumbles in unison with Pak's.
Felicia rolls over, attempting to ignore her hunger troubles. "Guuh…"
Hector is used to it, 'cause he used to only eat once a day.
Pak mrr.
Pak: "Okay."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Why is my stomach growling for? I used to be able to handle eating sparse."
Pak: "I'm gonna try to summon food using my new Converter Power!"
Hector: "Hm."
Felicia: "…"
Riia: รณ.o
Pak throws 200 gil into the air!
Hector: "Y'know, we're flying down the barrel of the enemy's guns, so to speak."
Pak rolled 1d10 and got 8 for a total of 8
Felicia: "Don't turn into a dinosaur."
Riia watches and tries to understand…
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at Pak and blinks
Pak: "…"
Moogles: "We are?"
[OOC] Pak: GF
Cassandra Lionheart: "Don't shrink me either!"
Pak rolled 1d10 and got 8 for a total of 8
Pak rolled 1d100 and got 22 for a total of 22
Pak rolled 1d100 and got 34 for a total of 34
Hector: "If we're going north, and you say they shoot upwards from the poles, then we're going to be in their line of sight."
Pak starts floating all Dragon Mode again.
Pak: "…"
Pak: "THIS IS NOT A WAY TO MAKE FOOD."
Felicia bops Pak.
Pak OW.
Cassandra_Lionheart sighs
Felicia: "What did I just tell you?"
Hector: "Unless we somehow can get undetectable."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Can I try?"
Moogles: "…oh, yeah.""THAT'S why we avoided the poles."
Pak: "I WAS NOT TRYING."
Moogles: "But the main plant was trying to get away from the volcanos.""Think maybe it went a little too far?"
Felicia sighs. "Look, I'll make some plasma… you try shaping it or something."
Hector: "More than likely."
ORN: "These were not much of an issue. In any case, if you can drop This Unit into the pole, all that will be left in a day will be for Sakha to create the largest mass of ice she has ever had the pleasure of destroying."
Moogles: "DROP you into the pole?""Uh-uh, not happening.""Sorry, that'd be about like killing you ourselves."
Moogles: "We'd rather you survive.""You helped us.""And you maybe can help us more.""Not to mention, we'd rather be nice guys."
Pak is still all dragony.
Pak: "…UHH."
Pak: "I THINK I NEED TO EXPLODE SOMETHING BEFORE THIS GOES AWAY."
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at Pak "Can I see that thing?"
Pak floats over to a window and looks down. Any ground below them?
Riia frowns and holds up a hand, and a sign: "Moon first, maybe."
Pak sees the shimmering rainbow curtain beneath, and then…ice. There's a battle of some sort going on.
Pak: "…"
Pak: "THAT WILL DO."
Pak opens his mouth wide…
ORN quietly mumbles away from Eric and counts them off "… Skeptical. Accidental. Only because you happen to exist on the current world being aided by This Unit. You aren't."
Pak fires it into the curtain!
The blast disappears into the curtain.
Pak: "…"
ORN: "… Pak. Warp system."
The battle comes to a halt.
Pak drops to the floor.
Pak: "…Uh."
Riia blinks
Pak: "So, where do you think that laser went?"
Pak :3
Riia taps Pak and makes a gesture like goggles
Moogles: "Why did you have to get their attention?""They were distracted.""INCOMING!"
Felicia: "…"
Felicia: "Great."
Pak: "…S…sorry! ;_;"
Hector sighs.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Pak…"
ORN tries to remember if it was straight-through or refracted or mirrored when travelling through and tries to calculate given that
Hector: "You need to learn when and where to fire your lasers, Pak."
Several dots appear from the battle. They start getting larger, apparently launched upward.
Pak: "I had to let it go someplace or it would blast your glacier!"
So far as ORN can tell, the blast went straight through
[OOC] Riia: Fire it into space
Cassandra Lionheart: "You could have pointed up!"
Pak: "…But then things from the moon would have attacked us!"
Riia pulls her rifle out and aims
Cassandra_Lionheart looks up
ORN: "Pak will likely have struck anything orbiting the southern pole."
Felicia: "Now really isnt the time to discuss what he *should* have done…"
ORN: "Affirmative. Charging."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Okay, okay!"
There is nothing above the group - Grav's moon is still back at the equator.
Hector: "Right. Let's discuss what we WILL do."
Pak: "I'm sorry… I'm hungry, I can't think straight."
ORN breaks open the launcher arm
[OOC] Riia: Gah…where IS Terra?
[OOC] WC GM: AFK. For that and other reasons, wrapping session soon.
The dots enlarge…wait, are three of them…chocobos, with riders?
Cassandra Lionheart: "…"
[OOC] Sakha: Sorry was kidnapped
Eric Lionheart: "…"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Well…damn..Beavis, Butthead, and dumbass!"
Sure enough, a familiar trio arcs up, then lands on the cloud-glacier.
Pak: "…Hi!"
[OOC] Riia: kk
Hicks: "Now why'd you have to show up HERE of all places?"
ORN: "… . This Unit will not bother asking how your masters launched you here."
Biggs: "You interrupted a perfectly good fight."
ORN: "You work for the invasion force?"
Riia holds up a sign: "Who were you fighting?"
Hector: "Hm."
Wedge: "We almost defeated the northern res-"
HicksAndBiggs: "WEDGE!"
Riia grins widely
Wedge: "Oh, right. You don't know about them."
Eric Lionheart: "No, please continue."
Riia holds up a sign: "Resistance? NICE"
Eric Lionheart: "You may live longer that way."
Riia replaces that with "Thanks, Wedge"
Cassandra_Lionheart looks down "Can't you guys just shut up and die!?!"
ORN: "Far longer, though it still seems exceedingly unlikely you would have turned against the invasion force."
Pak: "I can become a dragon for 5 seconds and fire mouth lasers."
Pak grins at the trio.
Biggs: "How nice."
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at Pak and sighs
Wedge: "You still think these are our real bodies."
Eric Lionheart: "I have a plan."
Hicks: "Ya ain't gonna kill us even if you destroy these puppets."
Riia rolls her eyes and shakes her head
Eric Lionheart: "We keep you alive, and you don't get to come back."
ORN: ".. … the opposite was obvious from back when fighting Milf you icy freaks"
Wedge: "Please."
ORN: "Your permanent bodies will be annihilated with the rest of your race when the fight is taken to your original world"
Hicks: "Ya got any idea who yer REALLY fightin' by now?"
Biggs: "How could they?"
Cassandra_Lionheart looks at Biggs and wants to cut somethings off her…
ORN: "You always refuse to talk. A name would be good at the least"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Becuase your throwing us off guard! Sending us the wrong way!!!"
Eric Lionheart: "I like names."
Wedge: "And it's our fault you keep falling for that?"
Riia gently puts a hand over Cassie's mouth
Biggs: "Oh, do give them a hint."
Pak: "I'm happy. :3"
Cassandra_Lionheart yells out a muffled "Dickheads!" from Riia's hand
Hicks: "A hint? Sure. There ain't no more Chilla."
Riia looks Cassie in the eyes, cups a hand behind one of her ears, then points a finger waveringly at her ears
Riia blinks and spins back around
ORN: "…"
Biggs: "…not what I was thinking, but it will do."
ORN: "Eliminated? Suppressed? Replaced?"
Hicks: "Yeah. That ice spirit you were hopin' to seal?"
Wedge: "That's enough, Hicks."
ORN: "… … Incorrect"
Pak: "oxo"
ORN: "The Ice spirit was not to be sealed."
Pak: "It's ded?"
Hector: "Well, damn."
Pak: "That's… bad."
ORN: "This would explain the melting."
Pak: "Yup."
Hector: "Hm."
Eric Lionheart: "That isn't good."
Cassandra_Lionheart sighs and shakes her head
Riia frowns
Hector: "Well, I s'pose that's all you'll say to us for now, so let's get our usual fight over with."
ORN: "This region was being overflown for different reasons entirely, not pertaining in any way to the spirits. In any case, Sakha should prove able to freeze things once more once the invasion force has been eliminated"
A flock of Cocatrices rise up behind the trio.
Riia sighs and shrugs
[OOC] Riia: ORN wants Sakha to be the new Ice Spirit, I see
Wedge: "Fair warning. You can evade most of our friends' defenses by being up here."
Hicks: "Yeah. You try going down there without major backup, yer toast."
Biggs: "Don't waste your breath. The moogles surely already told them."
[OOC] ORN: more like he figures anyone can do their job given enough ability. Otherwise we couldn't have taken them out
Cassandra Lionheart: "Why do this to us for?"
Riia shrugs and nods, then waves one hand in a circle ('duh')
Wedge: "Why?"
Biggs: "Because."
Hicks: "Besides, it's fun."
Pak: "I suppose."
Wedge and Biggs give Hicks a LOOK.
Hicks: "What? 'Course it would be to me. You two know that."
Riia raises an eyebrow
Biggs: "ENOUGH with the hints!"
Cassandra Lionheart: "FUN? FUN?!?!" *shakes uncontrolabily* "Did you turn my mom against me also?"
[OOC] Riia: No clue how to do masochist in sign language
ORN: "No that hostile was just crazy."
Wedge: "No, I did not. She did that all by hers-"
ORN nod at Wedge
Biggs fires a shot across Wedge's nose.
Riia blinks
Biggs: "I said ENOUGH."
Riia frowns
Cassandra Lionheart: "So you crossed paths with her?"
Riia holds up a sign: "Deliberately?"
Biggs sighs. "Just fight already!"
HicksAndWedge: "Yes'm."
Cassandra Lionheart: "NO!"
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: intimidate?
[OOC] WC GM: They're already intimidated by Biggs.
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: ><
[OOC] Riia: Cassie can try to intimidate Biggs
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: might as well
[OOC] WC GM: She can try, yes.
Cassandra_Lionheart glares at Biggs "NOOOO!"
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 1d100 and got 67 for a total of 67
[OOC] ORN: especially with backup.
ORN rolled 1d100 and got 37 ( Total: 37 )
[OOC] Riia: Man, where's a system that easily handles opposing skill checks when you need one!
[OOC] ORN: made it by 25 before penalties if any
WC GM rolled 1d100 and got 60 ( Total: 60 )
Hector sighs.
Biggs glares back at Cassandra, with enough force to actually push her back a bit.
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: pass by 33
Cassandra_Lionheart gets knocked back.
Felicia: "…Stop goofing around."
Biggs: "Finally, someone who speaks some sense. Yes, let us stop."
EC Session 6.5
