DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
GM:
GM: Alright, so while the girls still deal with the sentry, Laz is trying to work things out between Xoa and Jace.
Lazarus: [Yup]
GM: (Alright, Laz can open things up. It should be the sentry’s turn after him if he was still in combat.)
GM: (Quick reminder on everyone’s conditions?)
Minelle: (Minelle's undamaged IIRC)
Lira: (Lira remains undamaged... I think Minelle got tripped?)
GM: (Right.)
Minelle: (ah, right, she has that aspect on her)
GM: (I think Jez is undamaged too?)
Lazarus: [Yea, I'm undamaged too, I think Xoa get hit.]
GM: (The sentry has its consequence marked off and spent, and all but its [5] box filled.)
GM: (Okay, I think I’m back up to date. Sorry for the delay!)
GM: (Laz, begin. Meanwhile...)
GM: (Or, wait, Jez just went, that’s why Jace is down. Minelle’s turn in combat!)
GM: (<@!Minelle>, it’s your turn. Pretty sure you have to spend it getting up, though.)
Minelle: (right. Do I need to roll?)
GM: (Yeah, vs. +0.)
GM: “Alright, you want to talk, Mr. Fox? I can talk. That’s something I can do here.”
Minelle: !f 2 (athletics)
DiscoDude: <@Minelle> rolled 4dF+2 for 5 [4dF = [ ][+][+][+]]
GM: Jace is sitting cross-legged now, and staring down Laz and Xoa.
Minelle: springs back to her feet.
GM: (Alright... sentry’s turn!)
GM: Immediately after slamming Minelle into the ground, its head pivots wildly, eventually settling on a new target in the form of Lira! It bolts towards her, shield raised! (Activating {Shield Bash} stunt again.)
Lazarus: Lazarus looks over at Jace and then at Xoa, then back at Jace. "So, my wife is coming real soon, and I don't wanna have stuff started. So, I hope we can organize something..." He says looking at Jace. "How about I, give you the sword I got, you give Xoa an armor piece or something, and we can settle this before...she comes around."
GM: !roll 4df+2 (Heavy Strikes)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4df+2 for 1 [4df = [-][-][+][ ]] (Heavy Strikes)
GM: (Defend, <@!Lira>!)
Lira: Lira is almost stunned when the sentry charges her. She trained througly to defend herself against ranged attacks, but not this! Still. She will try to remember what she can of CQC to evade this attack!
Lira: !f 1 (fight)
DiscoDude: <@Lira> rolled 4dF+1 for 2 [4dF = [+][ ][+][-]]
Lira: Lira dodge rolls out of the way!
GM: Jace blinks a bit, clearly prepared for something worse than he got. “That’s... Oh, that’s it? I mean, the whole set would be far more valuable in a single collection. Whole greater than the sum of its parts and all that, but... really? That’s all you’re asking for? That’s not so bad, I suppose. Still, I’m a little confused as to why she can’t be satisfied with those coins?”
GM: (Lira’s turn!)
Lira: Lira backs away from the offending statue, before pulling her guns on it!
Lira: !f 3 (shoot)
DiscoDude: <@Lira> rolled 4dF+3 for 4 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][+]]
GM: !roll 4df+2 (Taking Hits)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4df+2 for 4 [4df = [+][+][+][-]] (Taking Hits)
GM: (Tie! Gonna boost?)
Lira: oof
Lira: not gonna boost
GM: (Just taking the boost, then?)
Lira: (yep!)
Lira: "Hang in there, Lazarus! I have some cash in a bank! If you want to make a trade, I probably can pay for it... I am just tied a little bit right now!"
GM: (<@Lazarus>, how do you and/or Xoa respond?)
GM: (What’s your boost, <@!Lira>?)
Lira: Supressed!
Lira: (I forgot how to write boosts)
Lazarus: Lazarus was about to respond before Xoa blurts out, "YES PLEASE, I WANT THAT FULL ARMOR SUIT!!" She said, furious.
GM: ( - Suppressing Fire! - )
GM:
GM: “I was just asking why that was. I mean, I don’t exactly intend to sell this. I too am a collector, after all. What do you intend to do with it that you can’t do with all those coins you sifted out?”
GM: (<@!Jez>’s turn!)
GM: (<@Lazarus>?)
Lazarus: Xoa looks at Jace, "My mom's a collector of sorts! She has a collection, and she would love to have that!" Laz looks at Xoa, "Oh, yea, that's right. I forget Cecil loves collecting the stuff I bring her, ah..." He rubs the back of his head.
Jez: Jez, feeling emboldened, picks up another coin and aims it at the sentry's head!
Jez: !f 0 (Provoke)
DiscoDude: <@Jez> rolled 4dF+0 for 2 [4dF = [+][+][ ][ ]]
GM: (Creating an Advantage with Provoke?)
Jez: (Ye)
GM: “Hm, didn’t realize I had competition already... Still, you were the hired help, and I was perfectly capable of opening the door with my key. The coins should be more than enough to pay your wage. Can you, or can you not refute that?”
GM: (Alright.)
GM: !roll 4df-2 (Tracking Targets)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4df-2 for -3 [4df = [-][ ][ ][ ]] (Tracking Targets)
GM: (Holy crap. XD)
GM: (Go ahead and describe your double Invoke Aspect. XD)
GM: ( <@!Jez>. )
GM: (Also, <@Lazarus>.)
Jez: The sentry's head swivels around, seemingly unable to pinpoint Jez as the the thrower. While not completely blind, it has [Spotty Vision][!!] now.
Jez: (is that good?)
GM: (Well, you were creating an Aspect. It should be [Spotty Vision][!!].)
GM:
Jez: (whoops)
GM: ( <@!Minelle>’s turn!)
GM: (<@Lazarus>?)
Lazarus: [Super busy, mutlitasking aaa, sorry]
Lira: (Did I miss anything important? I was getting dinner)
GM: (It’s fine.)
Lazarus: "I don't want pay, my mom's gonna come in here, and if she sees me here, she's gonna flip." Xoa says, pointing at Jace.
GM: “Well whose fault was that? This is the first I’m hearing about it.”
GM: (<@!Minelle>?)
Minelle: (back, sorry, family stuff)
Minelle: "I'm rather tired of this behemoth gallivanting around like it's made of plywood," Minelle says, taking aim at the sentry's legs. "Let's introduce it to some gravity, shall we?"
Minelle: (goin' for Create Advantage with Shoot if that's all right? trying to kneecap it or at least trip it up XD)
GM: (Another? You probably would have beaten it by now if you settled for chip damage. XD)
Lira: "Plywood? More like adamantium. Accursed thing don't know when to stay down!"
GM: (There’s already like 4 invokes stacked up against it, not counting FATE points.)
Minelle: (oh, i didn't realize)
Minelle: (well, in that case, let's just make it an out-and-out attack roll, shall we?)
Minelle: (if it's not too late? XD)
GM: (Not too late until you roll!)
Minelle: !f 3 (shoot)
DiscoDude: <@Minelle> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][ ]]
Lira: (Well, let's se the defense...)
GM: !roll 4df+2 (Taking Hits)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4df+2 for -2 [4df = [-][-][-][-]] (Taking Hits)
GM: (OH MAH GAAAAAAAAAWD!!!)
Lira: (DING DING DING DING DING)
Minelle: (is that enough to kill?)
Lira: (You need 6 stress to kill)
GM: (He has a 5 box remaining to start, so no!)
Minelle: (but if i pile on all those +2s?)
Lira: (yeah.)
GM: (Yeah, even whatever FATE I have can’t save it. XD)
GM: (Do iiiiiit.)
Minelle: 360 no-scopes some critical knee joint, but then given her violin fires HUGE projectiles, it's admittedly not much of a feat apart from the dramatic pirouette.
GM: The joint (and much of the leg) is completely vaporized at this point. Apparently, that was the weak point in the design! The automaton collapses forward, and continues to try and get up like nothing happened, being unable to tell that a leg is missing! After falling over for the third time, whatever internal AI it had gave up, and the statue powers down in the ancient equivalent of a blue screen!
GM: (Victory!)
GM: (Now everyone can catch up to <@Lazarus>.)
Minelle: smirks and fistpumps.
Lira: Lira holster her weapons and begins to walk over to Jace "Jace! Alright, listen... Certainly we can strike a deal for the armor, right? Mayhaps some... Shares... May sweeten the deal...?"
GM: (Rolling Resources to Overcome and end the need for negotiations right there? XD)
Lira: (If you want me to roll before he replies, I can!)
GM: ( <@Lazarus>, you there?)
Lazarus: [Yuuup]
GM: (Well, the assumption is that the roll would determine how he replies.)
Lira: (Alright...)
Lira: (Let's hope I don't bust this.)
Lira: !f 4 (resources)
DiscoDude: <@Lira> rolled 4dF+4 for 3 [4dF = [-][ ][+][-]]
Lira: (UUUUGH)
GM: !roll 4df+2 (Resources)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4df+2 for 1 [4df = [ ][-][+][-]] (Resources)
Lira: (oh wow)
GM: “Well, I-“ He pauses. “... Shares of what? That’s an important distinction. You might be someone big, or you might be nobody.”
(Don’t worry, this’ll end up... mostly positive for you.)
Lira: "Hahaha... Darling..." Lira says, placing a hand on her hips "I've worked as arms dealer and even worked on the design of a few guns, not to mention custom gunsmithing jobs worth more than the gun's weight in plutonium... As a smart bug as I am, I invested that money to both fund my own arms corporation- The Ladybug's Gunwell-, as well as purchasing shares in well-stabilished corporations, such as the Centipedes Organization of Armaments and Liquors... Also known as COAL."
"There's a reason why I am a rich bitch that can go places and not work, and still be a rich bitch."
Lira: (Originally I tried to make a "COOL", but I had to settle for "COAL".)
GM: “Oh... Now, then why didn’t you say so! I actually pack a Ladybug piece myself.” He pulls out a fancy looking revolver, spins the chamber idly, and glances at the likely still pissed <@!Minelle>. “Even if it was a peashooter for the sake of this fight - especially compared to those monsters you’re carrying. I mean, what were you expecting me to do after I got the armor off?”
GM: He turns back to Lira. “But COAL... now that’s something I’d like to have a finger or two in... pardon the innuendo.”
Minelle: is, for the moment, ignoring Jace and instead sifting through the wreckage of the sentry for anything interesting and/or salvageable.
Lira: "Yes, the COAL is certainly a well-respected company. Owning 0.1% of it, I have just barely enough to appear on the list of the 100 thousand individuals with a slight chance of becoming important in the future... Just right there at the bottom of the list, right after one of the ten guys who actually founded the company but managed to lose all his shares in a bet."
"He's not part of the round table anymore, I'll tell you that much, but you probably already know that."
Lira: (Owning 0.1% of a big company is a big deal...)
Lira: "Also, good to see the 'Gentleman's peashooter supreme' getting some love. It is hard to see people appreciating the art side of guns... And the GPS suffers most of all."
Lira: "Designed the little thing myself, took me ten times on the design board more than any normal gun."
GM: “Yes, well, we can talk the finer details later. Shall we adjourn for now? I’m perfectly fine with giving you the armor plate here, if you wish.”
Minelle: (Come to think of it, can I roll something to see if I find anything good in the wreckage?)
Minelle: (maybe Investigate? Or would it be Lore?)
Lira: "Ah, that sounds very good... Let me give you my business card, so I can settle down the transfer down the line." Lira says, as a small card ejects from one of her arms, which she then proceed to grab it mid-air, do a little flourish with it, then present it to Jace.
Lira: "Just give the armor over to Xoa, if you could..."
GM: (Lore roll, I guess! Overcoming... +3, since straws are getting grasped here, considering you’re getting the armor and like 3 instances of single [$] coin clusters.)
Minelle: !f 3 (Lore)
DiscoDude: <@Minelle> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][-][ ]]
Minelle: (nothin' XD)
Lira: (Close!)
Minelle: (man i can't remember if I have any FATE Points left)
Minelle: (OH! I think I do! Could I invoke Interdimensional Librarian?)
GM: “Ah, alright then.” He hands the whole bundle over to Xoa. “Don’t expect a good review on the hiring board, though. Very unprofessional at the end there.”
GM: (@Lazarus#4711.)
GM: (Alrighty.)
Minelle, you do eventually find a powered down [Golem Core][$] in the statue’s center.
GM: (Add that to your sheet.)
Minelle: "Fascinating! I honestly don't think they make these anymore!"
Lazarus: Xoa rolls her eyes, "Yea, whateve-" And just as Xoa was about to finish her sentence, there was a sudden surge of dust that arose, and quite a furious cat looking at Lazarus and Xoa. "Oooooh, hi honey! You came here fa-" in an instant Laz's maw is secured with a muzzle, "Hush, you. I knew that letting Xoa stay with you while you were on vacation was a horrible idea! Like, oh my god!" Xoa tries to slowly inch away before stopping to see her mother's gaze pierce her.
Lira: Lira begins to silently inch towards the exit...
Lazarus: Cecil raises a finger, "Nobody, leaves until I have a word with you. You are free to go, though." She says, looking at Jace. "My boss adores your collection, hun."
GM: “Oh, hey, you must be the missus. Don’t worry, I was keeping a good eye on her... Although, seeing her performance, I’d think she could take care of... herself...” Jace is only now starting to realize he’s treading on thin ice. “Not that whatever they did was right, I mean... Yeah, I... no longer feel safe here. I’ll be going now.”
Lira: Lira stops.
GM: “Not a total loss...” He mutters under his breath as he heads off with business card in hand.
Lazarus: She waves at Jace, "Take care, hun, I'll send you an email later for whatever damages she has done to you." She says, waving.
Minelle: walks up to the rest of the group, absolutely oblivious as to what went down.
Minelle: "This is truly the most remarkable find!" Minelle says, brandishing the Golem Core plucked from the sentry. "Worth the trip in and of itself and...oh, you got the armor back? Where's that odious Mr. Micaphilia? Did Xoa invert his very molecules?"
Lazarus: Cecil turns towards to Minelle, "No, but her mother is here. I need to have a talk with you, all." She says, tapping a shoe against the ground.
Lira: "Minelle... Maybe this is not the best time..."
Jez: "'All' all?"
Minelle: "Oh! Hello there! You must be Mrs. Stone! I'd like you to know, it's an honor to make your acquaintance...and a low-key terror to make your daughter's..."
Lazarus: She looks over at Jez, "Okay maybe not you, you're alright from what I heard." She said, "You didn't seem to enable my husband's terrible personality." She turns towards Minelle, "My daughter just needs a bit more discipline is all, and apparently so does my husband." She eyes Laz, who whimpers quietly.
Lazarus: Cecil then looks over at Minelle and Lira, "You guys, need to keep my husband in check. He always does this. Getting rough and rowdy, and guess who has to bail him out of jail everytime when he gets a lil too rowdy?" She says, pointing a thumb to herself, "Yup, me."
GM: (So those murderhobo threats are a flaw he’s actively working on? Haha, nice.)
Lazarus: [Yup aha]
Lazarus: Cecil pinches the bridge of her nose, "...and now I have to pay for property damages too...Especially with Xoa going off the rails and completely destroying some infrastructure...unbelievable..." She sighs and grabs Xoa by back of her neck, like a tiny kitten.
Lira: "Right... Y-yes, missus, we'll keep a tighter leash on Lazarus, understood."
Minelle: "...oh. Well, it is a pity she demolished those doors after we went to all that trouble to get keys..."
Lira: "... I'll keep those keys as souvenirs."
Minelle: "Can I have one as well?"
Lira: "You can have the half-dozen I gave each of you."
Lazarus: She looks over, Xoa visibly shaking with the armor in her arms. "Ah, yes. That. I can't fill for that." She says, looking at Xoa. "It's time for us to go home." She looks at Laz, unhooking the muzzle. "Be a nice pup, and stay away from the big kid's table, okay?" Laz nods slowly. Before Cecil vanishes with Xoa in almost a blink of an eye, leaving only a trail of cold wind behind.
GM: (So, there’s still 3 [$] worth of [Hadriad Coins] to divvy up. Who’s getting them? And is the armor actually going to anyone, or is that [$][$][$] being given away to Xoa for PLOT? Is that effectively giving the money it represents to Laz?)
Minelle: shivers. Her mom is somehow even SCARIER.
Lazarus: [Xoa for Plot, and yea, represents Laz, he'll give the money to his team though.]
Lazarus: Lazarus looks at the group, clearing his throat. "Uh...heh...let's go guys...Mission...Mission accomplished...aha...shit..."
Minelle: "You, ah...look unwell, Mr. Stone."
GM: (Anyways, anyone have any last lines IC? (There’s still a tiny thing we need to take care of OOC.))
Lira: "Laz, um... If Xoa gets bored with the armor... You can send it to me, I'd like to get my researchers giving a look over it... You never know with ancient technology."
Lira: "Also, unwell is an understatement..."
Lazarus: "Oh no, that's going to Cecil...She's uh...She might give it to you directly if you want it..." He pulls the shirt of his collar. "...I need a cold bath..."
GM: (Also, I assume that the other three get the [Hadriad Coins][$] treasures?)
Minelle: "Well, all's well that ends well! We found Ms. Xoa, dealt with Mr. Micaphilia, and obtained some rather smashing treasure!"
Lazarus: [Yea]
Lira: "Hm, yes... I'll need to consider ways to re-invest into more COAL shares, after I give mr. Jace some of mine... I may be unavailable for the next mission, given such reasons."
Lira: "You gotta recover any capital you invade in, if you want to remain a rich bitch."
Lira: (Also, this might be the first time <@!Minelle> hears of this)
GM: (End Expedition, @everyone?)
Jez: (good with me)
Lazarus: [Yupp!]
Minelle: (sounds good to me!)
Lira: (Fine by me!)
GM: (Alright!)
GM: > EXPEDITION END
GM: Now remember, I said there was one little OOC thing we still need to do.
Minelle: righto!
GM: This is essentially going to be standard practice for your “MISSION END” screen in a video game or something: Firstly, everyone list what Treasure Aspects you have.
Lazarus: [Old Cosmetics][$], [Sword of the King of Thieves][$][$]
Lira: [Posey Rosary][$], [Hadriad Coins][$]
Jez: [Gangsta Regalia][$] , [Hadriad Coins][$]
Lira: (Doh!)
Minelle: Tattered Mobile [$], Golem Core [$]
GM: Hm... Remember that Laz still effectively has [Hadriad’s Breastplate][$][$][$], mechanically, and everyone else has an iteration of [Hadriad Coins][$].
Lira: (Edited)
Lazarus: [Yea, he's gonna split the money up for the 3 other members.]
Lazarus: [So everyone basically gets all 3's, except for Minelle who gets 4 aha]
GM: (Now everyone rolls a flat 4df to determine how much Currency they got for completing this Expedition. (Currency is spent between Expeditions, so you don’t have to worry too much right now about tutorials.) This roll effectively represents the variance of the treasures’ value as opposed to the estimate, and “[$]” can be used as boosts.)
Lazarus: !roll 4df
DiscoDude: <@Lazarus> rolled 4df for -2 [4df = [-][-][-][+]]
Lazarus: [...]
Minelle: !f
DiscoDude: <@Minelle> rolled 4dF for 2 [4dF = [+][+][+][-]]
Jez: !f
DiscoDude: <@Jez> rolled 4dF for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][+][ ]]
Lira: !f
DiscoDude: <@Lira> rolled 4dF for 2 [4dF = [+][+][ ][ ]]
GM: So if you spent all your [$] on flat boosts, Laz, you’d end up with 10.
Lazarus: [ 10? ]
GM: (-2 + 6 boosts = 10.)
Minelle: (what about me?)
Lira: (Just 6)
GM: (Well, 2 + 3 Boosts = 8, I believe.)
GM: (Remember that Minelle forgot to include her [Hadriad Coins][$].)
Lira: (oh yeah)
Lira: (Also, Laz could use one of the boosts for a reroll)
GM: (You can hold onto a treasure, if you want, whether you want to keep it for yourself, or think there’s an established character that’s willing to pay more for it and want to RP a sale with them later.)
Lazarus: Oh, neat.
GM: (Yeah, IC, that would be literally gambling and slapping that puppy down on the table for really going all-in. XD)
Lazarus: [I'm...not gonna reroll...I have so much bad luck on rerolls.]
Minelle: (well, i've established Minelle really likes that Golem Core she found so she's probably going to keep it XD)
GM: (Alright, so that really does leave Minelle with 6, and Laz with 10.)
Lira: (Unless Laz keeps the armor)
Lazarus: [Laz is gonna keep the sowd, and probably sell the cosmetics.]
Lira: (or whatever)
Lazarus: [And the Armor uh...Can he actually give that to Lira? Since they did ask...]
Lazarus: [Cecil could just show up and drop it off for Lira.]
GM: (Oof, might as well keep the Cosmetics in that case, since leaving it at 0 or below means the result gets bumped up to the minimum of 1.)
Lazarus: [oof, yea, alright, I'll keep all my stuff then aha.]
Lazarus: [and give Lira the armor.]
Lira: (I don't think anyone here is religious, so... i'll be getting rid of my rosary and the coins)
GM: (And the armor? Keep?)
Lira: (YES)
Lira: (For several reasons)
Lira: (One not being the asshole of the century)
GM: (Alright, so that’s a total of 6.)
Lira: (How do we math?)
GM: (Lira: 6, Minelle: 6, Lazarus: 1.)
GM: (Jez, that leaves you.)
GM: (Selling both treasures?)
Jez: (Yea, Jez is just gonna pawn off both her things. I don't know what that adds up to tho)
GM: Alright!
GM: TREASURE RESULTS:
GM: > LAZARUS
Keeping: [Old Cosmetics][$], [Sword of the King of Thieves][$][$]
Currency: 1
GM: > MINELLE
Keeping: [Golem Core][$]
Currency: 6
GM: > LIRA
Keeping: [Hadriad’s Breastplate][$][$][$]
Currency: 6
GM: > JEZ
Keeping: N/A
Currency: 4
GM: (Everything seem in order?)
Lazarus: ``Rations: 1/3 Rations,
Tools: 1 Datastick
Inventory: [Old Cosmetics][$], [Sword of the King of Thieves][$][$] Jez: (yeperdoodle) Lazarus: So...Do I just add another Datastick? GM: Just mark: “Currency: 1” GM: Datastick is a tool. Lazarus: It's also our money card too Lazarus: :v GM: I mean, I guess you could boost with that too. GM: It *is* a Resources Tool, after all. Lazarus: Also, Lazarus:!end``
GM: !end
