10:02 (288) Warrick: word
10:03 (286) GP: Aly IMed me, said he'd be a bit late. I have a feeling Marcao will be late as well.
10:03 (284) Matt (enter): 10:03

10:04 (284) High-Power: Mo' school, Mo' problems.
10:05 (286) GP: Don't tell me, let me guess. Marcao forgot there's a game today.
10:06 (284) High-Power: It's possible. I know he's got a big paper hanging over his head too.
10:06 (288) Warrick: I've seen him write. Big Papers shouldn't scare him.
10:07 (284) High-Power: Not the writing so much as the research, I'd imagine.

10:13 (290) Black Star: :P
10:13 (290) Black Star: Hotty had to call me
10:13 Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (290) Black Star...
10:13 (290) Black Star: I have been a bit out of the loop
10:13 (290) Black Star: ~_~
10:13 (286) GP: Better watch out, Gil'l put you on the shit list again.
10:14 (290) Black Star: pffft
10:16 (286) GP: Aly IMed me, said he'd be a bit late.
10:16 (289) Gilgamesh: He is on shit list!
10:17 (290) Black Star: (what should be our SP and XP totals?)
10:17 (286) GP: good question
10:17 (284) High-Power: Given Gil's state of mind, I can see his shit list involving naming a giant turd he craps out into the toilet after you, then laughing as he flushes it down the drain.
10:18 (286) GP: 80 sp and 160 xp
10:18 (290) Black Star: (I got 230 SP and 430 XP total)
10:18 (290) Black Star: (we started out with what? 150 SP and what else?
10:19 (290) Black Star: (150 SP and 300 XP)
10:19 (286) GP: 300 starting xp
10:19 (290) Black Star: (there we go)
10:20 (286) GP: yeah, so since we're waiting, anyone else's sheet that isn't up to date, go ahead and do that and send it to me.
10:20 (290) Black Star: sending now.
10:22 (290) Black Star: sent
10:25 (286) GP: K, BS and Gil/Enkidu are up to date.

10:30 (292) Staff: victory
10:30 (292) Staff: didnt miss anything did I
10:31 (286) GP: No, we haven't started. We were updating character sheets. The running total is 80 sp and 160 xp earned. The sheet I have for you is way out of date, you may want to spend that xp.
10:32 (292) Staff: ok
10:32 (292) Staff: awesome
10:32 (292) Staff: *edits sheet*
10:34 Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (292) Staff...
10:35 (292) Staff: SP and XP make me a happy panda
10:41 (286) GP: You may want to hold off on the sad/happy panda determination until after this session.
10:43 (292) Staff: hmm... oh dear
10:47 (292) Staff: updated sheet sent
10:49 (286) GP: Alrighty
10:51 (286) GP: Previously, on Serenity Springs, SENTINEL had just finished a for-print interview with a reporter from the SS Times. They were leaving Aphrodite, a rather fancy restaurant, and Gilgamesh had made a scene.
10:51 (286) GP: Ghost was the first to exit, and the others followed behind.
10:51 (292) Staff: (I'll show you a scene)
10:51 (286) GP: **Session 7 start**
10:51 (288) Warrick: (I was?)
10:52 (292) Staff: Staffs head hangs low as he realizes the full magnitude of just how press-boned they are
10:53 (289) Gilgamesh: Everybody in there is on shit list now!
10:54 whispering to GP, Change occurs in [1d20*3+10] -> 37 minutes
10:54 (292) Staff: The drawbar over the floodgates of Staffs mind just about snapped with that comment. If someone were to look carefully, they could see his eyelids twitch
10:54 (288) Warrick: Oh, c'mon, GIlgamesh. It wasn't that bad. All things considered, you did well.
10:55 (289) Gilgamesh: Yeah I did real good," Gilgamesh says, clearly pleasede with himself.
10:55 (292) Staff: "Yeah, I suppose he could have started breaking things"
10:56 (284) High-Power: High-Power sighed softly and just kept walking back to his bike. Tonight was coming close to being a complete wash.
10:57 ** (290) Black Star glanced towards Gilgamesh for a moment as he spoke, Staff's reaction caught out of the corner of his eyes. Oh boy, he really did not want to be in the middle of a break down. "What is done is done, let's wait and see what happens before we start handing out blame." He walked in a matter of factly manner towards the street, once there his head tilted back as he glanced around the area. "I would not lose sleep over it." His feet left the ground as he settled on hovering a mere meter or so from the ground. He was rather looking forward to going back home. **
11:00 (289) Gilgamesh: "I figure out new way getting home." Gilgamesh crouches down, and uses his tremendous leg strength to propel him high into the air with a giant leap. When he comes down about 30 meters away, huge chunks of concrete from the sidewalk fly everywhere and two gaping craters are left in the sidewalk. He then proceeds to jump again, causing more property damage, until he gets back to base.
11:00 (286) GP: (good lord)
11:00 (292) Staff: (That is it, I am making Ketaine and sedating him)
11:01 (292) Staff: (ketamine, even)
11:01 (288) Warrick: ...
11:01 (284) High-Power: Wonderful. Gilgamesh figured out a new way to cause damage. Killing him now didn't seem like such a stretch. Maybe he could convince Blackstar that this was his third strike or something.
11:01 (292) Staff: Staffs lips quiver at the sight of that..."we are going to be sued"
11:01 ** (290) Black Star sighed softly as Gilgamesh showed off his brilliant manner of travel. He took to the sky immediately as if in doing so he seperated himself from Gilgamesh. Moments later, he was making his way back to the base. **
11:02 (292) Staff: Staff gets in his car, slams the door, and instead of his usual classical music or NPR news, puts in his one Rob Zomb ie CD, and drives back to base
11:02 (286) GP: (it's now about 9:30 pm)
11:03 (289) Gilgamesh: Gilgamesh lands on the roof of somebody's house. It doesn't support his weight, and he crashes into the guy's kitchen. He then leaps through the wall and continues on his merry way, shouting "WHEEE" the whole time.
11:03 ** (288) Warrick takes a look around, examining the area for ... well, anything that looks out of place. [1d10+12] -> [6,12] = (18) **
11:04 (292) Staff: (other than the swath of destruction)
11:04 (286) GP: There's a black sedan parked across the street that wasn't there before. The windows are tinted.
11:04 (292) Staff: (Gil is what happens when the chaotic good barbarian has Intelligence, Wisdom and CHarisma scores of 3)
11:04 (288) Warrick: (yeah, like i said "out of place" ;)
11:05 (288) Warrick: (can I read the license plate?)
11:06 (286) GP: The license is a standard configuration of letters and numbers.
11:06 (288) Warrick: o_O
11:08 (284) High-Power: High-Power revs the engine of his bike, wondering what force could possibly be responsible for the creation of Gilgamesh. One thing he noted, if he ever found the bastard that made them, he'd give them a swift kick in the ass.
11:09 (288) Warrick: (alright, then. what's the license plate read?)
11:09 (286) GP: (one sec)
11:11 (286) GP: The license plate is 4LWF395
11:12 (284) High-Power: (Four lesbian white females: $395 an hour
11:12 (292) Staff: (you are going to a special hell)
11:12 (286) GP: (OMG)
11:13 (286) GP: (get your mind out of the gutter)
11:13 (284) High-Power: (If that hell has lesbians for rent, I'll be happy)
11:13 (292) Staff: (lesbians wont sleep with you... otherwise they wouldnt be lesbians)
11:13 ** (288) Warrick flies up and away after noting the license number of a black sedan. Staying just above the building tops of Serenity Springs, Ghost cruises about a mile away before circling around and trying to follow the sedan if it's still there when he returns. **
11:14 (288) Warrick: (wow, cheap whores)
11:14 (289) Gilgamesh: (But they're desparate, have to pay their bills, willing to do anything)
11:14 (284) High-Power: (It's a bulk discount, I'd bet)
11:14 (286) GP: (roll awareness, Warrick)
11:14 (288) Warrick: [1d10+12] -> [4,12] = (16)
11:15 (288) Warrick: (oh yeah, I'll discount their bulk alright.)
11:15 (286) GP: Ghost flies around for a bit before returning to where the sedan was parked. It's no longer there, and nowhere in sight.
11:16 ** (288) Warrick returns to the HQ. Upon his return he "accesses" the DMV database to ascertain who owns the license plate 4LW395. **
11:18 (286) GP: The database returns the info on the registration for 4LWF395. It's registered to Frank Langley. The DMV database gives his home address and phone number.
11:19 (288) Warrick: (do we usually wait for bill to call us or does lifting The Phone ring his number?)
11:20 (286) GP: (There's a speed dial marked, "Bill")
11:21 (288) Warrick: (and I'm assuming that Frank Langley isn't a name I or anyone else would recognize) Warrick lifts the phone and dials Bill's number.
11:21 (286) GP: (no, no one recognizes it)
11:22 (286) GP: The secretary with the thick Bronx accent answers on the third ring. "William's Wacky Party Favors, how can I help you?"
11:23 (288) Warrick: (Yes, I'm calling about the 4 white lesbians...)
11:23 (288) Warrick: Bill please.
11:23 (286) GP: "One moment."
11:23 (284) High-Power: High-Power makes it back to base a little later than it should have taken him, and when he comes up from the garage, he appears to be flying. Some might see it as showing off, but in reality, it's to keep him from breaking anything in anger. His natural strength, plus the weight of the suit means that when he's not careful, things tend to get broken almost as badly as when Gilgamesh shows up. He floats past Warrick, on his way to the kitchen.
11:24 (286) GP: "This is Bill."
11:26 (288) Warrick: Ghost here. I've got news and I've got... well, more news. First, I wouldn't expect a ticker tape parade after the newspaper article. I wouldn't call it a travesty, but I don't think it'll be "glowing" either. Secondly, spotted a car after the interview. (gives bill the relevant info) It's probably nothing, but it seemed odd at the time. Think you could dig up something on this guy?
11:26 (292) Staff: Staff arrives, calmed down slightly and now lblasting Gilbert and Sulivan's A More Humane Mikado, he gets out of his car and stalks up to his lab, shuts the door and starts looking on the internet for a pathway to synthesize some sort of tranquilizer
11:27 (292) Staff: Either that or a direct suplier
11:27 (286) GP: Bill silently collects the information, until Ghost mentions the registrant's name. "Wait, did you say Frank Langley? That sounds familiar, hold on...."
11:28 (286) GP: There's the sound of keys clacking. "Of course, that's where I remember it from. Frank Langley is UltraMan's secret identity. Did you get a look at the driver?"
11:29 (288) Warrick: No. The windows were tinted. I tried to follow, but before I could get in position the sedan was gone.
11:31 (286) GP: "Hmm. Well, keep a lookout for that car. Don't worry about the article, it was kind of a longshot, you know we can't entirely trust the media. Even if it had gone well, there's still a chance it would be a slimejob. Anything else?"
11:32 (288) Warrick: That's all I had.
11:33 (284) High-Power: High-Power looks at the wreck of the fridge, the remains of Gil's earlier rampage. He tries to open the door gently, but it's gotten stuck. Finally, the frustration gets the better of him, and he rips the door off, letting loose a shout of rage in the process. As the door comes flying off, he grabs for his bottle of gin, what's left of it, and ends up crushing it in his armored fist. He throws the shards of glass to the ground and growls to himself.
11:33 (286) GP: "Ok. SpedEx is going to be delivering the gear you ordered tomorrow. I take it someone will be available to accept the delivery?"
11:34 (288) Warrick: Yes, I believe so.
11:34 (286) GP: "Very well. Keep me updated." There's a click.
11:35 ** (288) Warrick sighs inwardly. He'll hold on to the information until the morning. Everyone seems to be a little frayed at the moment. **
11:36 (286) GP: (sleepy time, fast forward to morning?)
11:36 (288) Warrick: (word)
11:36 (284) High-Power: ((Yeah))
11:36 (286) GP: (Ok, it's morning the next day)
11:36 (292) Staff: (yeah)
11:37 (289) Gilgamesh: (Which alter-ego am I?)
11:37 ** (288) Warrick waits in the main room for the others to assemble, hoping that they feel better after a night's sleep. **
11:38 (286) GP: 1-5, Gil, otherwise, Enkidu [1d10] -> [6] = (6)
11:38 (292) Staff: Looking for a chemical pathay to synth Ketamine [1d10+8] -> [4,8] = (12)
11:38 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu files into the main room, and nods at Warrick.
11:38 (289) Enkidu: "How'd the interview go?"
11:39 whispering to GP, Change occurs in [1d20*3+10] -> 52 minutes
11:40 (286) GP: Staff doesn't find instructions on making Ketamine, but he does find a website called "Sedatives For Less" that offers Ketamine and other tranquilizers at low, low prices.
11:40 (288) Warrick: It could have been better.
11:40 (284) High-Power: High-Power isn't smiling, but he's not breaking things either. He's just heating up some beans and bacon for breakfast, not saying much to anyone aside from the occasional "'Mornin."
11:40 (288) Warrick: Gilgamesh let out Star's "secret", by that I mean his Three Strikes policy.
11:41 (292) Staff: Staff types in the relevant information, and has several horse-sized doses of various sedatives sent to his PO box.
11:41 (289) Enkidu: "Oh, hmm. Well, honesty is always the best policy, right?"
11:41 (286) GP: Does he spring for overnight shipping?
11:41 (292) Staff: then, smiling, he gets up and meets the others in the Kitchn
11:41 (292) Staff: (yes)
11:43 (286) GP: The intercom buzzes, announcing a visitor downstairs.
11:43 (288) Warrick: Well, there's such a thing as too much honesty.
11:43 (288) Warrick: That should be our equipment.
11:44 (289) Enkidu: "That must be my net." Enkidu dashes down to answer the door at full speed.
11:44 ** (288) Warrick answers the intercom, "Yes?" **
11:44 (288) Warrick: ...
11:44 (288) Warrick: (or we could let him get it)
11:44 (286) GP: There's a pause on the other end, as the visitor seems confused. "Uh, got a delivery here, for a Mr. Sentinel. Do you want me to give it to this guy?"
11:44 (292) Staff: "ah the pitter patter of little feet"
11:45 (286) GP: Enkidu sees that the delivery man at the door is wearing a brown UBS uniform.
11:45 (288) Warrick: (GOT A PACKAGE PEOPLE!)
11:46 (288) Warrick: (UBS, COMIN' THROUGH!)
11:47 (286) GP: "I'll just give the package to this guy, then. Sign here, please." The delivery man gives Enkidu an electronic signature device.
11:48 (288) Warrick: (BOOM! A flash of light, a peel of thunder and Gilgamesh stands where Enkidue was. "YOU ON SHIT LIST, BROWN MAN!")
11:48 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu signs and dashes back upstairs with the package. He sets it down on the nearest table and tears the wrapping off.
11:48 (286) GP: (you bastard, I almost choked on my applesauce)
11:49 (292) Staff: (hehehe)
11:50 (288) Warrick: (8D)
11:51 (286) GP: (hang on, figuring out properties of the "package")
11:51 (288) Warrick: (ah)
11:53 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu has an elated look on his face.
11:53 (289) Enkidu: "This'll trap Talon!" he exclaims excitedly
11:53 (288) Warrick: (I don't think... nevermind)
11:53 (286) GP: Enkidu tears the box open.
11:53 (284) High-Power: ((He discovers his new "package" is 12" and ribbed))
11:53 (288) Warrick: A vat of super foam glue?
11:54 (290) Black Star: (a minituare black hole)
11:54 (286) GP: Roll initiative
11:54 (289) Enkidu: [1d10+20] -> [5,20] = (25)
11:55 (292) Staff: (http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=497)
11:55 (286) GP: Enkidu realizes that what he's staring at is not, in fact, what he ordered, but an explosive device that he's just triggered by opening the box. He has a split second before it explodes. (What do you do?)
11:55 (288) Warrick: (so... wrong)
11:55 (292) Staff: (mother of god)
11:56 (288) Warrick: (Simon says die.)
11:56 (290) Black Star: (tantantaaa!)
11:56 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu dashes away as fast as he can, yelling "Bomb!"
11:57 (284) High-Power: ((Next time, ask High-Power to check :p))
11:57 (290) Black Star: ((hehehe))
11:58 (288) Warrick: (next time make sure we're expecting a package from ubs)
11:58 (292) Staff: Staff also dshes as fast as he can, thankful that he is never un suited, he activates heis shield as he runs, and puts more energy than he thought he ever could into that mad dash. Moving faster than anyone had ever seen him move
11:58 (286) GP: (I thought it was obvious that Bill said the package was from SpedEx, and then there was a UBS guy with a package. Apparently not)
11:59 (292) Staff: (fuck... United Bomb Service)
11:59 (290) Black Star: (god dammit. something has come up that requires my immediate attention guys. ~_~ I am going to poofle and deal. I may be back in time to finish this game and play in the SDN3. If not, meh go at it without me. ;_;)
11:59 (290) Black Star: Disconnecting from server...
11:59 (290) Black Star (exit): 11:59
11:59 (288) Warrick: (1 - I never told anyone. 1- speedy here just ran to the door before I could ascertain identity)
11:59 (288) Warrick: (make that second 1 a 2
11:59 (288) Warrick: )
11:59 (286) GP: (ah, I see)
12:01 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu dashes, bomb in hand, to the stairwell, where he runs down to the bottom, drops the bomb, and comes back. (or as far into that sequence as he can get)
12:01 (292) Staff: Staff goes as far away from the bomb as possible
12:01 (292) Staff: shielding activated
12:02 (289) Enkidu: (Scratch that last bit) Enkidu dashes, bomb in hand, to the stairwell, where he runs down 3 flights, drops the bomb, and comes back.
12:02 (286) GP: (wait, hold on, if your speed per phase is like, 26 meters per second...ok)
12:03 (286) GP: Enkidu drops the bomb and is back in the apartment before the bomb explodes.
12:03 (292) Staff: (OK, consider my action held until he makes up his damn mind)
12:04 (292) Staff: OK, away from the explosive device, shield on
12:05 (284) High-Power: ((Heh, I'm still in the kitchen, eating my beans :p))
12:06 (288) Warrick: (a -wha? < my reaction)>
12:06 (286) GP: (Ok, so damage is...1d6 times for 5 damage each. I think.)
12:07 (292) Staff: (that made no sense)
12:08 (286) GP: (It's a shrapnel bomb, 1d6 fragments hit each person. Each fragment, after going through 3 ceilings, imparts 5 damage)
12:09 (292) Staff: (oh, ok)
12:09 (284) High-Power: (That's a hell of a lot of shrapnel. Ah well, 40 > 5 =P )
12:09 (286) GP: (So Enkidu is the only one who'll be damaged)
12:09 (286) GP: [1d6] -> [1] = (1)
12:10 (286) GP: [1d10] -> [7] = (7)
12:10 (292) Staff: (60>5)
12:11 (286) GP: Enkidu takes a piece of shrapnel in the shoulder. (He's injured, -1 to all rolls)
12:11 (286) GP: Everyone else's armor, shields, etc. take the shrapnel in stride.
12:12 (284) High-Power: (I was counting my armor, which reduces damage before my shields take the hit =P)
12:13 (292) Staff: "son of a bitch! Everyone OK?"
12:13 (286) GP: There's some yelling and screaming from downstairs after the explosion.
12:13 (292) Staff: (Are the phones intact?)
12:14 (292) Staff: (I think we will have to relocate our base)
12:14 (286) GP: (um, most of the equipment is FUBAR)
12:14 (288) Warrick: (well, shit. I guess we don't have to worry about that newspaper article to make us look bad)
12:15 (284) High-Power: High-Power feels a familiar sensation of something hot, metal, and very fast bouncing off his armor, specifically off his ass. This alone would be a curious sensation when eating breakfast, but is made more curious by the disintigration of the chair he was sitting on. As he comes crashing to the floor, the sound of the explosion registers in his ears. Wonderful, they were under attack. As he picks himself up, he grabs his helmet and secures it, ignoring the ringing in his ears as he does. He launches himself out the nearest window and starts to survey the area, looking for threats and assessing the damage.
12:15 (289) Enkidu: (Looks like Enkidu will actually have been responsible for more damage than Gilgamesh)
12:15 (288) Warrick: (how big is the hole in the floor?)
12:15 (284) High-Power: [1d10+8+6] -> [8,8,6] = (22)
12:15 (286) GP: (lots of little holes, no one big hole)
12:17 (292) Staff: (are the radios we use closed circuit?)
12:17 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu looks forlornly at the wound in his side as he pulls out the large piece of shrapnel, but is still relieved that it didn't lodge in his throat instead.
12:17 (292) Staff: (IE, can they broadcast to other radios)
12:17 (286) GP: (they're high tech walkie talkies, like police radios are. Police radios can broadcast, right?)
12:18 ** (288) Warrick flies outside moments after the blast and starts looking for the delivery person. **
12:18 (288) Warrick: [1d10+12] -> [3,12] = (15)
12:18 (284) High-Power: (Closed circuit only applies to systems which use hard lines that aren't accessable outside the system. Our radios probably have some basic encryption though.)
12:18 (288) Warrick: (fuck you 3!)
12:18 (292) Staff: (damn)
12:18 (286) GP: The delivery man or his truck is nowhere to be seen.
12:19 (286) GP: Sirens sound in the distance. Apparently someone managed to call 911.
12:19 (284) High-Power: ((Radios can broadcast on different frequencies, yes, and the encryption would be easy to turn off if you wanted to make a broadcast, I suppose))
12:20 (292) Staff: "OK guys, we have two options, we can meet the paramedics and such downstairs, or we can scuttle what is left of the base and go... chances are, we will be arrested for.something.. in connection with this"
12:20 (288) Warrick: Damn. Damn. Damn.
12:21 (284) High-Power: High-Power circles down to the rest of the group, finding them easily enough with his advanced sensors. "What's next?"
12:21 ** (288) Warrick goes back inside. **
12:21 (284) High-Power: ((Um...this is our house. What are they going to charge us with?))
12:21 (286) GP: (it's not as bad as you think. The building you're in only has occupancies on the 10th floor, which is your base, and the ground floor, which is office space)
12:21 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu looks numbly at the devastation. "Umm, sorry guys," he says sheepishly.
12:21 (292) Staff: (how bad is the damage?)
12:21 (288) Warrick: (Violation of City ordinance 812.34 Use of an explosive device without a permit, inside city limits.)
12:21 (292) Staff: (and the death)
12:22 (292) Staff: (reckless endangerment for putting a superhero base in a residential zone)
12:22 (284) High-Power: "Well, from now on, I'll scan all incoming packages. Right now, let's figure out just what the hell happened, who is responsible, and land their asses in jail.
12:23 (286) GP: (There shouldn't be any deaths, as there was no one on the 6th floor, where Enkidu dropped the bomb. But the shrapnel most likely cut power, phone lines, and caused various aesthetic damage)
12:23 (292) Staff: (OK, we should be alright)
12:24 (292) Staff: "OK, my room looks like an engineers workshop, nothing overly special there... anyone else have anything they need in here?"
12:25 (284) High-Power: ((I thought this whole place was ours))
12:26 (286) GP: The SSFD arrives on scene.
12:26 (289) Enkidu: (that was also my impression)
12:27 (286) GP: (it is, but the offices downstairs are a front. They're all Bill's employees)
12:29 (286) GP: The paramedics determine that no one is injured or killed. The police arrive shortly thereafter to investigate the explosion, source, etc. The office workers do what they're told, and inform the police they're the only occupants of the building.
12:30 (288) Warrick: (I'm sorry, we have to kill them.)
12:30 (292) Staff: (OK thank god)
12:30 (288) Warrick: (Man, I want their cushy job. Sit around and look busy all day and tell the cops nothing. Damn.)
12:32 (289) Enkidu: (What do I do here? I'm a professional Solitare player. We all are)
12:32 (286) GP: After a while, the police clear out.
12:33 (292) Staff: After all of that is done..
12:33 (292) Staff: "Ok, our base has obviously been compromised
12:33 (292) Staff: "
12:35 (288) Warrick: But by who?
12:35 (286) GP: (The Muffin Man)
12:36 (289) Enkidu: Enkidu is still in a state of shock. "This is all my fault, isn't it?
12:36 (292) Staff: "No, they would have gotten us whether you answered the door or not"
12:36 (286) GP: There's the clash of thunder, and Enkidu disappears. Gilgamesh replaces him instantly.
12:36 whispering to GP, Change occurs in [1d20*3+10] -> 64 minutes
12:37 (289) Gilgamesh: Gilgamesh looks around like somebody pissed in his cornflakes. "Oh no! I miss big battle again!"
12:37 (284) High-Power: "No. I'm sure Gilgamesh is somehow responsible as well. He did leave a nice trail right back here last night." He notes the entrance of Gil just as he finishes talking, "Well, speak of the devil."
12:37 (288) Warrick: No, no... damn.
12:38 (289) Gilgamesh: "NOOOOOOOO! I never get have no fun!"
12:38 (288) Warrick: I don't think it a difficult task for any of us to have been followed here.
12:38 (292) Staff: "what is it?"
12:38 (292) Staff: "hmm true"
12:39 (288) Warrick: But, among the questions, we have to ask "What next?"
12:39 (288) Warrick: I for one, am going to get a better look at what's left of that bomb.
12:40 (292) Staff: "yeah.. mind if I join you?"
12:40 (284) High-Power: "Maybe, but there's a difference between getting tailed and leaving a physical trail of destruction all the way home. In any case, let's find the guy who did this and fry him."
12:42 (286) GP: (So Staff and Ghost go to check out the site of the explosion?)
12:42 (292) Staff: (yes)
12:42 (288) Warrick: to staff: Be my guest. to HP: Be careful. It may have been from the (gingerbread man?) character who's been abducting supers.
12:42 (286) GP: (yeah, Gingerbread man, that was it. Not the Muffin Man)
12:43 (286) GP: Staff and Ghost descend the stairs, the destruction increasing as they near the 6th floor landing.
12:44 (284) High-Power: "Maybe, but like I said, let's. He may be a big tough bad guy, but I'd be willing to bet he can't deal with all of us at once." High-Power follows. His optics would most likely prove critical in this.
12:44 (292) Staff: Combined awareness and repair roll (I figure that best repersents the sort of skills needed for this, let me know if I am wrong) [1d20+12] -> [2,12] = (14)
12:45 (288) Warrick: [1d10+12] -> [4,12] = (16)
12:45 (292) Staff: (damn 2s)
12:45 (284) High-Power: [1d10+8+6] -> [7,8,6] = (21)
12:45 ** (288) Warrick begins looking for the bits and pieces of the bomb, collecting them as they go. **
12:45 (284) High-Power: (plus, of course, enhancement, X-ray, and so on)
12:46 (286) GP: There's next to nothing left of the delivery device. There's a scorch mark on the landing, bits of plastic here and there. Warrick notices some plastic imbedded in the walls. HiPower can spot every piece that's in the walls.
12:47 (292) Staff: Staff looks at the pattern of shrapnel bits in the walls, trying to get a clue as to how the bomb might have exploded, and what may have been used in its construction
12:47 (289) Gilgamesh: Gilgamesh skulks about, despondent about missing another "big battle"
12:48 (284) High-Power: High-Power goes about collecting the various pieces, being sure not to damaging them any more than they are, occasionally crushing the wall and ceilings around the fragments to allow for easier extraction, careful not to damage any load-bearing structures.
12:49 (288) Warrick: (do we know the people downstairs or do we maintain some sort of professional seperation from them?)
12:50 (286) GP: The bomb exploded outward in all directions. There's not much left of the delivery device, mostly plastic pieces, small bits of wire, etc. It wouldn't be stretch to assume the bomb was homemade, almost like a large pipebomb, or perhaps a number of smaller shrapnel bombs linked together.
12:50 (286) GP: (they know what Bill's told them. Which is there's a super group upstairs that doesn't exist.)
12:50 (288) Warrick: (Certainly not Bomb Voyage's work.)
12:51 (289) Gilgamesh: (lol)
12:52 (292) Staff: )bad pun)
12:52 (288) Warrick: This isn't making sense.
12:52 (288) Warrick: (No pun. Incredibles.)
12:52 (292) Staff: (it is still a bad pun)
12:54 (292) Staff: No.. no it isnt...although... Did you see anything unusual yesterday? If someone was going to tail us, it would have been yesterday, what with gilgamesh figuring out new travel method"
12:55 (284) High-Power: "Needle in a haystack. If we could find some special piece of kit, we could track it, but we'd be combing every home improvement store in the state to try and find the guy that way. Did anyone get a good look at the delivery guy?
12:55 (292) Staff: "I didnt even see him"
12:56 (286) GP: (it would be safe to assume Enkidu got a good look at him. But he's not here right now)
12:56 (288) Warrick: Yes. Black sedan that belonged to Frank Langley, aka Ultraman. But that's what isn't making sense. If it's the Gingerbread Man, who has proven to have the ability to capture supers, why build such a crude device? Unless it's a message.
12:57 (292) Staff: "what kind of message could he send?"
12:58 ** (288) Warrick shrugs. **
12:58 (292) Staff: "I know where you live? maybe"
12:58 (292) Staff: ?
12:58 (284) High-Power: "Hi, I've found you, and I want to kill you. Just a guess. You know, bomb and all."
12:59 (292) Staff: "He should have known the bomb wouldnt kill us..."
12:59 (286) GP: (If Enkidu hadn't spirited the bomb away, everyone but HP and BS would have been killed. Real dead.)
01:00 (292) Staff: (oh)
01:01 (292) Staff: (dont know how... unless each piece of shrapnel was going to do over 60 damage... yeesh)
01:02 (284) High-Power: (Not hard to kill you in one shot. One of my overpowered blasts would do it, Aly. Takes 160 points to one-shot me ;) )
01:02 (292) Staff: (hmm... true enough)
01:03 (284) High-Power: ((Of course, at 150, I'm boned, since my armor is wrecked, but hey))
01:03 (292) Staff: (still, ouch.. nasty bomb)
01:04 (286) GP: (maybe I'm misunderstanding how Staff's defense works. If it's actually type 2, like it says it is, he'd be killed by the shrapnel. If it's actually type 1, then no, the shrapnel wouldn't kill him. But Enkidu and Ghost definitely would have died)
01:05 (284) High-Power: "He wants us dead. The blast was big. In any case, we can't sleep tonight without guard, or unless we catch him. He knows where we are, and that puts us at a disadvantage. Next time the bomb might be big enough to level the building. We need to take him down, fast. Also need to talk to Bill about setting up a field base away from here."
01:06 (292) Staff: (The sort that is not hitpoint, but rather limit based. IE it can take 60 damage before energy bleeds through, and a second attackalso has to do over 60 damage)
01:06 (292) Staff: (could have just been a typo when writing the sheet)
01:07 (286) GP: (yeah, that's type 1, not type 2)
01:07 (288) Warrick: Right. Moving HQ seems like a good idea until this is resolved.
01:08 (292) Staff: (consider the typo corrected)
01:08 (289) Gilgamesh: Gilgamesh suddenly shouts "I smash puny bomb man!"
01:09 (292) Staff: (besides, if it were type 2 it would have 4 times the number of shield points)
01:09 (292) Staff: Agreed... anyone have an alternate location? A House or storage shedor something?
01:10 (288) Warrick: I don't doubt Bill has other facilities around town.
01:10 (288) Warrick: We can coopt one of those.
01:10 (289) Gilgamesh: "I staying right here!" Gilgamesh says resolutely
01:11 (284) High-Power: "Fine. Stay here. Get blown up. See you later."
01:11 (292) Staff: everyone hears a zapping sound as staffs shielded hand slams into his shielded forhead with enough force to activate the shield
01:12 (289) Gilgamesh: "I no getting blow up! I coming too!"
01:13 (286) GP: The group's radios crackle to life. "Hello? Anyone there?"
01:13 (284) High-Power: High-Power sighs. For a moment, he thought maybe the brute would take that as a challenge and stay here until a nuke was dropped on him.
01:14 (292) Staff: "yes We are still alive"
01:14 ** (288) Warrick hesitates before answering his radio. "Yes?" **
01:14 (292) Staff: staff wonders to himself, I wonder what would happen if one of them died...
01:14 (284) High-Power: "We're here. What's up?"
01:15 (286) GP: "Um, Bill wants to talk to you. Should I patch him through?"
01:15 (292) Staff: "please"
01:15 (286) GP: "Ok."
01:16 (286) GP: There's another crackle. "What happened? Is everyone alive?"
01:16 (288) Warrick: No deaths. The building is a bit tore up, but serviceable.
01:17 (292) Staff: "yeah, but Enkidu is wounded.. however, he isnt here right now, if you get my drift"
01:17 (286) GP: "But there was an explosion of some kind? Was it an accident?"
01:18 (289) Gilgamesh: "Yeah I is here now!" Gilgamesh shouts into the radio.
01:18 (286) GP: "Glad to hear it, Gilgamesh."
01:18 (292) Staff: "Oh no, we were deliberatly bombed"
01:18 (289) Gilgamesh: "I is glad, too!" Gilgamesh yells, still way too loud.
01:18 (284) High-Power: "Bomb was generic, far as we can tell. Most likely our favorite pastry-made pissant made it and had it delivered. We're going to need a place to go to ground while we ferret the fucker out."
01:20 (286) GP: "This is a most disturbing trend. But are you sure it is the so-called Gingerbread Man? Surely you have made other enemies. And how was your location discovered?"
01:21 (292) Staff: "I think the swath of destruction left by gilgamesh after the interview had something to do with that"
01:21 (292) Staff: "but I cant be sure, any one of us could have been tailed"\
01:21 (288) Warrick: We don't know that it was. That's an assumption.
01:22 (284) High-Power: "Not sure, but he's top of the list for the moment. Talon would come after us directly, I'd think. As for how we got traced, well, we're sorting the possibilities, but I have a few ideas on that. Gil's little bunny episode being top of THAT list."
01:22 (286) GP: "Gilgamesh? You were trailed?"
01:23 (292) Staff: "not so much him, as the trail of broken pavement and shattered rooftops"
01:23 (289) Gilgamesh: "I is no trailings!" Gilgamesh protests.
01:24 (289) Gilgamesh: "Not mine fault!" he continues.
01:24 (286) GP: "Very well. Now is not the time for blame, especially since no one was killed. Has SpedEx made their delivery yet?
01:24 (292) Staff: "not yet no"
01:25 (286) GP: "Ok. If you'd like to wait for it, you may. Or if you'd like to relocate, I can have it forwarded. Just let me know."
01:26 (292) Staff: "I dont know guys do we want to wait or have it forwarded?'
01:27 (288) Warrick: We can wait.
01:28 (289) Gilgamesh: "I wants forwarded!" Gilgamesh chimes in, ever the contrarian.
01:29 (286) GP: "As you wish. When you're ready to relocate, dial 3956 on the secure line downstairs. I'll give you the location then. Be safe." The radio crackles dead.
01:29 (286) GP: (shall we call it a session?)
01:29 (284) High-Power: sure
01:29 (288) Warrick: works
01:30 (292) Staff: (sure)
01:30 (286) GP: **End Session 7**
01:31 (286) GP: 15 SP and 30 XP for alla youse.
01:31 (292) Staff: yay
01:31 (289) Gilgamesh: woot
