  1. The Viceroy nodded to Nina and made for the kitchen, ducking behind an edge of the bar. The bar tender looked from the beggar to Nina, Shade and Jal as they stood.

    Outside Kessra waited, leaned against her sideways bike with a blaster rifle held lazily in her arms. Two of the Vipers were doing donuts and howling through the noise. The other three were driving back and forth across the street behind their leader. All of the bikes looked cobbled together from the wreckage of a dozen other speeders. No weapons were mounted on them but each gang member had a pistol on their leg or around their neck and a vibroblade in a boot or on their waist.

    "Hey! HEY! SHUT UP!" the woman barked at the Vipers doing donuts and tricks, who immediately stopped.

    "Bout time you showed up. I was about three seconds from shooting everyone through the windows!" Kessra taunted with a cackle. "Listen up and listen good. You're trespassin' here without a proper landing permit. Now I was nice and didn't ambush you and shoot ya dead." She mockingly shot at Shade, mouthing a noise like a toy gun firing. She again laughed with a kind of mania.

    "You three--and all your scaredy-Blurrg friends in there--owe me a thousand creds. Each." The woman's tone was serious and yet casual enough to suggest she had been doing this for long enough that a thousand credits seemed reasonable.

    Keeping momentum is crucial in PBP, so kudos for coming up with something.

    and well done for taking charge and moving us along, we're a bunch of sedentary cats unless prodded.

    Seconded to both. I'm sorry everyone. I'm the kind of GM that cares too much; I don't want to cut scenes short. So, yes, I tend to lose momentum. I'm always afraid to just say "Okay, let's wrap it up, here's the next scene."

    HP 4/4 | AC 8 | Luck 10/10 | Art. +0 | A.I. -4 | S-1 A-2 S+0 P-2 I-1 L+0 | Speed 30 | Mutated Gibbon Ape (white fur) | Occ. Hunter | Children of the Glow


    Spitting goo from her mouth, a gibbon ape-woman looked up at Ygg with confusion and fear. "No, don't!" she begged, recoiling from him. Her back pressed into the strange tube she'd been taken from. Coming to her senses more, she continued to wipe goo out of her fur but she would need a proper bath. As it was, she looked a mess with her fur either stuck to her frame or sticking out at odd angles she couldn't see.

    "You not gonna hurt me?" she asked, large deep-brown eyes staring up at Ygg.

    An astute eye would see she had too many fingers on both hands--one extra on each side. A strange thing for a Seeker Manimal.

    Gruza find nothing but smelly slime and dumb metal. Gruza look for arrow and dart.

    Myycky's stone axe slashed ineffectively through the air as she reached the melee late, whiffing the air fiercely. "Well, dang it!!" she said as she kicked at the dirt. "At least we found our stuff...We should get going..."

    Myycky started walking back to the bridge area.

    Doørfin grunted and cleared his throat as he mulled over Flickwit's reply. "Ah agree we seem t' be toyed with. Makes me blood boil, it does!" He growled but caught himself from making too much noise. "If'n ya c'n stay upright uh bit longa' then we c'n find a right decent place fer uh rest. But not 'ere. This room be wicked," he said, eyeing the graves in succession to make sure nothing was crawling out.

    To further his mental goals, Doørfin walked up to Malice's place and knelt down, running his axe along the dirt. He looked for what might be telltale signs of someone digging out.

    "Ah've uh truly poor idea what involves diggin' up this 'ere grave t' see if'n there's a clue..."

  5. Val is for ambushing them. She's bloodthirsty.

    I, however, am for talking to them or at least trying to parley first before we let loose an ambush (like 3 of us hide and our most silver-tongued go out in front or something?). It really seems like someone didn't want the treaty to happen. Killing these ones may not mean much to us now, but it could mean something to someone else later. ("Our scouts never returned--they had to be been attacked! This is war!!")

    "I dunno," Cyrus said with a shrug to Zaivie's questioning. It seemed more like a mad rant to him, but then everyone joined in with it. "If I end up doing something great, I want buried with my weapons. I'm gonna need 'em in the next life, methinks. I think that's kinda what all of these people thought, too. Doesn't seem that crazy." He scratched at his chin beard as he mused on what constituted honor.

    Gruza blink and blink and blink. "What!" Gruza shout. Shake head. "Too many in way!"

    Gruza dig in trash again.

    "Ah, dang it!" Myycky said as her dart missed. Seeing the swarm of tribe people go at the ants, she dropped the blow tube. Her hands went to a leather shield and a stone axe from her dead companions. "Fine, let's do this up-close! HIIIIIIIYAAAAA!!!" Myycky shouted as her war cry, charging into the melee.

    OOC: If that's too many actions, I'll just stick with equipping myself.

    A heavy sigh of frustration escaped the scout's mouth. She moved ahead up the ramp and into the room proper to see if there was anything that would catch her attention. If nothing immediately seemed as such, she'd merely turn around and go back.

  9. I finally got my car road-legal today as well as gave it a clean and fixed my mirror that fell off. It's been a tiring day but that should be a stress off my mind moving forward (this has been an ~4 year problem).

    I'll see about getting a post up. I will say that the back and forth of "I look here" "there's nothing there" "Okay look over there" "still nothing" is getting a bit stale IMO. This is why certain game design is better than others. I'd rather just be railroaded to an interesting part if I'm honest, instead of having the freedom to muck about and find nothing 7 times in a row (exaggerating). Just thinking out loud here, not pointing fingers.

    "Agreed, swinging a sledge ain't nothin' but it's good money. I just wonder whose families these are. People just stealing and selling this stuff... I wonder if anyone pays people to put this stuff back?"

    The warrior-smith shook his head.

    "What if we were dug up? What if Malice is down in tha' dirt restin' up?"

    "Ah cannae mane heads're tails uh it," Doørfin said as he scratched absent at his beard, axe still clutched in his hand.

    Then a terrible, horrible idea struck the Dwarf.

    "What if these really are fer us? Are we... Are we dead?" he asked soberly.

    I'm good with whoever ends up taking it. I'll eventually upgrade to a better ranged weapon, but for now the sling will suffice. In terms of gear that we find, I am 100% for it going to the person that it makes the most sense to go to for the greatest benefit to the party.

    There's not really upgrades... Just changes in range. It's all d6 damage.

    Or just read what it says on the base? There’s a clue there.

    I must not have noticed that.

    How down is Zeno? I can give him 4 hp today if anyone has a spell. Maybe we sleep and go down tomorrow?

    can Allen have the light crossbow and 12 bolts?

    I'd honestly prefer it on the hands of a non-melee person whom doesn't already have a ranged weapon.

    Mind you, I'm not keeping track of who that is or isn't, I'm just speaking my mind on it.

    Google also says that fire cooks them from the inside and it looks like they are stinging themselves to death when this happens lol.

    Also please read the post I made right before this one.

    That's normal scorpions not ones the size of a big dog with obviously thicker armor. Lol

    Also you know you can edit stuff into a previous post right? 👍

    Have some rough run-ins with some mean scorpions when you were a kid, Malk? :)

    Actually thinking back, yes! My dad's mom is self centered and gives gifts she herself would enjoy instead of considering the person. Anyways.... Long time ago i watched my mom freak out after opening a box and finding a laminated scorpion on a wood pedestal mixed into a bunch of packing peanuts. It immediately went into the trash.

    Glad to have the scorpions wander off, Cyrus couldn't help but look sad about it. "Look I'm all for getting rich and making a name for myself but those things were a bad time waiting to happen. Mark my words."

    He looked at Zaivie a moment. "I'm sorry... I'm no hero..." His gaze quickly averted down to the dirt before he walked away to help with the search.

    The archer's eyes landed on the crossbow as he stepped closer to inspect it, rolling it in his hands. "This seems like it's got a good balance. If you need a ranged option, this'll see you through," he said, setting it back down.

    I must have hallucinated it because Google says they run away unless threatened. But these are huge and bugs creep me out haha so idk

    Save or die is a big risk, however, my PC has a pretty good AC so that being said, I will go with the majority on this. I think that since they are wild animals, fire might be a natural deterrent.

    Honey badger don't care. I imagine hard-shelled insects may not care either.

    For some reason i have it hardwired into my brain that scorpions literally will not stop chasing you.

  19. Okay this can't be a coincidence that Alice's last name is Goldkind and the coin we used to break from the nightmare is lead; alchemy would have Is believe lead can turn to gold so........

    Step two: profit?
