<Calica> Helena was in a fight with the thief and gang leader Lisa and managed to just barely avoid a blow.
<Calica> Meanwhile, Naberius was heading to swipe one of the briefcases from Lisa, either Peter Phipps's money or the sorcerous book originally belonging to Christa.
<Calica> Zachary is with Gloria and Rob, facing off against Lisa's second-in-command Rip, who has come to tear down the Black Mass Coven on Lisa's command.
<Icon> (Wait, is that the fake book or the actual.)
<Calica> Christa, meanwhile, has made her way to Lisa's gang's home base and is face-to-face with two of Lisa's goons.
ยป Iconplays Knock Knock in the background.
<Calica> Icon: The real book. The fake one was in Helena's hands.
<Icon> (Right.)
<Calica> So, all three of you declare what you want to do. I'll list off all the things the demons etc want to do as well.
<Icon> Hm...
<Yarrun> I want to trick Rip into believing all that stuff I said on Monday about gaining ultimate power
<Calica> Yarrun: Zach was asking Felix to do the Roadrunner thing, right?
<CentralAve> Helena's knocked out, correct? So what options do I have?
<Yarrun> Yeah
<Calica> Knocked out is the wrong word, though her muscles are just about to give out and she'll have to roll Will against Stamina to get that back
<Yarrun> My next move is to use my superspeed to run behind Rip and his gooons
<Icon> Wasn't Christa simply just going to go on the offense against them?
<Calica> Icon: I think so
<Myrdradek> Calica I actually don't know what I could do that doesn't involve sitting back and letting Naberius do his thing
<Icon> Because it's very direct and to the point.
<Calica> Myrdradek: Yeah, you're in about that position.
<CentralAve> Making a dive for the briefcase seems like the wrong move but it also seems like what Helena would do, since she's afraid of facing Phipps without the goods
<Icon> Anyway: Christa, seeing little point in delaying the inevitable, commanded Ruo to take down the two goons. A good enough thrashing to keep them out for the count.
<Calica> Well, before all that, we've got a Will vs Will roll:
<Calica> @dice roll 8d20 >! Mutatus' Will + binding strength
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 2 4 5 10 11 11 15 = 59.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! Lisa's Will
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 6 8 = 15.
<Calica> Lisa's entire body glows red as Mutatus's power pushes itself through Lisa's body, taking control away from her own brain. She's throwing another punch at Helena.
<Calica> CentralAve: Roll Will.
<CentralAve> @dice roll 4d20
<Omnipresence> CentralAve: Rolled 4 9 12 19 = 44.
<Calica> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> Calica: Rolled 5 9 = 14.
<Calica> CentralAve: Okay, roll 2 dice for Stamina if you're going to go for a swipe, or 4 if you're going to brace for Mutatus/Lisa's hit.
<CentralAve> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> CentralAve: Rolled 12 14 = 26.
<CentralAve> (aaah trucking coming in, give me a minute)
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Mutatus/Lisa have the same Stamina so I don't have to figure that rule out
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 1 16 18 20 = 56.
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Ampere running Confusion electricity
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 8 11 13 17 19 = 68.
<Calica> now for the other conflicts:
<Calica> @dice roll 6d20 >! Rip is out for blood and has 6 Stamina, oops
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 4 4 6 8 13 17 = 52.
<Myrdradek> This is the bit in a movie where they montage between fight scenes
<Icon> (Myr: IMHO have the montages between like HxH or go home.)
<Calica> Yarrun: Since the Roadrunner thing is done by Felix, not Zachary, you can brace for the hit and roll Stamina+2
<Icon> (Or something else gr8 I guess.)
<Calica> Myrdradek: Ron Edwards even describes it as "cinematic as hell"
<Yarrun> This is gonna suck
<Myrdradek> Icon roleplaying games are generally like Chimerant arc fights, because it's compressed as hell
<Myrdradek> Time is compressed as hell
<Icon> (True, true.)
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Felix is doing the Roadrunner thing
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 5 9 10 11 16 = 51.
<Yarrun> Can I roll to dodge
<Calica> Yarrun: yeah. St+2
<Yarrun> and factor in some roleplaying dice because I'm supposed to be moving 4x human speed?
<Calica> for roleplaying dice you need to do something that'll wow the audience
<Yarrun> Okay, next round then
<Yarrun> @dice roll 4d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 1 5 13 14 = 33.
<Yarrun> >_<
<Calica> Yarrun: you'll have a second chance but I want to get all the other dice on the table first
<CentralAve> (back)
<Yarrun> fair enough
<Yarrun> get the dice on the table then
<Calica> Rip's two goons are caught a bit off guard by his sudden fury; they'll get involved in a couple of seconds (in-universe time)
<Calica> (meaning next round)
Medicine has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 206 seconds)
<Calica> The two goons up against Christa, though, are trained not to trust any strangers coming around without a good reason. They both aim their guns
<Calica> er, draw their guns
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! will goon #3 get a chance to draw?
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 3 15 16 = 34.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! will goon #4 get a chance to draw?
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 9 20 = 30.
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Ruo's going to pound one of the goons in
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 2 5 10 11 15 = 43.
<Calica> And now, time to go down the list of rolls
<Calica> Oh, I forgot one from Helena's stage
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Naberius tries to swipe a briefcase without Lisa/Mutatus knowing
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 6 13 18 20 20 = 77.
<Icon> (List of rolls as in which abilities are applicable?)
<Calica> yeah
Juan has joined #madokamadness
<Myrdradek> Calica If I pull this off, my storyline suddenly became much more Pulp Fiction
<Icon> (Haha, so it does.)
<Calica> Anyways, the first thing that's going to happen is that Naberius swipes off with one of the suitcases; if Lisa were in control, she might abandon her strike on Helena to go after it, but Mutatus wants blood.
<Calica> Next, Helena/ CentralAve has to choose between sucking up the attack in order to try swiping for the briefcase or abandoning it to brace for the attack
<CentralAve> I suppose I'll go for the briefcase
<Calica> CentralAve: roll one die
<CentralAve> @dice roll d20
<Omnipresence> CentralAve: Rolled 5 = 5.
<CentralAve> ouch
<Calica> 3 hits. Still just fists, so next-action penalty is 4, total lasting damage 2.
<Calica> Next is Ampere's Confusion ability, leading with 19.
<Calica> This comes after Helena gets knocked into the ground, so it's a normal attack against Lisa.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20
<Omnipresence> Calica: Rolled 12 18 20 = 50.
<Calica> The electrical sparks seem to do nothing; if they do anything at all, it's to break Mutatus's control over Lisa's body.
<Calica> Next up, Rip's fist is headed into Zachary's face. Yarrun, roll Stamina.
<Yarrun> Stamina+2 or just Stamina
<Calica> just Stamina
<Yarrun> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 4 11 = 15.
<Yarrun> It's even worse!
<Calica> 2 victories for Rip. 2 next-round, 1 lasting damage.
<CentralAve> (truck)
<Yarrun> Ouc
<Calica> On the bright side, as soon as the punch landed, Felix opened up a hole, pulling you away from inside the coven and right outside the entrance, behind Rip and his goons.
<Yarrun> That's not quite how I envisioned his warp power, but okay
<Yarrun> This does mean that Gloria's in danger though
<Calica> when you talked about holes and such, that's what I assumed you meant
<Yarrun> I meant, like, literal holes
<Calica> but yeah, Gloria's in danger, though you got their attention I think
<Yarrun> Technically, that would probably fall under Travel
<Yarrun> Not Warp
<CentralAve> (back)
<Calica> warp is alter the shape of living material
<Myrdradek> Yeah as in warping on wood
<Calica> Given that Rip has been up to this point oblivious of the whole demon thing, here's a roll to see how freaked out he is.
<Calica> @dice roll 2d20 >! Rip's Will
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 5 8 = 13.
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Felix's Power
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 6 10 16 17 17 = 66.
<Calica> Rip is freaking the fuck out about what he just saw there.
<Yarrun> Well, success is success
<Calica> "What the shit just happened there? Is all this Satan stuff you fucks go on about for real?"
<Yarrun> Am I still able to move, or did that punch stun me?
<Calica> Yarrun: you'll need all your strength to move i.e. the same will roll Centie/Helena had to do
<Calica> Meanwhile, Ruo, emerging from Christa's shadow, lands a punch in on one of the goons at home base.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! goon #3's stamina
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 8 19 20 = 47.
<Calica> The goon dodges the strike reflexively, but then notices that it wasn't Christa who arrived there so fast.
<Calica> (IT WAS I, RUO!)
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! goon #3's will
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 4 10 19 = 33.
<Icon> (Consarnit all.)
<Calica> @dice roll 6d20 >! Ruo's power
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 9 10 11 18 19 = 68.
<Calica> 2 victories Ruo
<Calica> And now the round ends.
<Calica> The goon that just dodged Ruo's otherworldly punch is now also freaking the fuck out.
<Calica> "What is this shit? I heard rumors about Lisa being a witch, but..."
<Calica> Now onto the next round.
<Calica> Mutatus got what he wanted--blood--so Lisa scoops up some blood from one of Helena's wounds and licks it off her hand, before running as fast as she can and tailing it before the police get there.
<Calica> Because she was fighting off Mutatus when it happened, she doesn't quite notice the missing briefcase yet.
<Calica> Rip's goons are drawing their handguns out against a threat that just disappeared.
<Yarrun> So. Roll Will to get up?
<Yarrun> Because I want to do a cool thing that involves movement this round
<Calica> Rip himself? He's freaked out, but still going to do something.
<Calica> Goon #3 is unsure of what to do, and aims at the demon that just avoided him.
<Calica> #4? Still going after Christa.
<Icon> (So what powers does Ruo have again?)
<Calica> Vitality, Protection (which we never clarified), Psychic Force, and Cloak
<Icon> (So because of Vitality, Christa can sustain some damage because it's built for that, right? Also I'm considering edged weapons for Protection.)
<Calica> (yeah
<Calica> Yarrun: So what do you want to do with your movement?
<Calica> Icon: And does Christa want to do anything or just sit there?
<Icon> (I can do like two things in one round right, or is that weird or is it only weird if I can't phrase it right?)
<Yarrun> Still in roadrunner mode, Zachary rushes into the coven, handgun drawn
<Calica> Icon: what two things
<Calica> Yarrun: drawing a handgun is an action
<Icon> I was thinking Cloak so that they don't get a good view before psychic forcing #4 since #3 is flipping.
<Yarrun> well, frig
<Yarrun> Then Zachary takes cover behind the doorframe as he pulls his handgun out
<Calica> CentralAve: Also, do you want to try to get up for one last-second shot at grabbing Lisa before she gets away?
<Calica> Yarrun: Roll Stamina, just for turn order
Xeniera has joined #madokamadness
ChanServ sets mode: +o Xeniera
<Icon> Not wanting the goons to get a chance to react, she orders Ruo to cloak and then let out a psychic force before putting some ground between her and the two.
<Calica> you're running away?
<Calica> or just a tactical retreat
<CentralAve> hang on, truck coming in
<Icon> Oh, no, more like while they're distracted reposition for another attack.
<CentralAve> Calica: Yeah, I'll say I'll go for it. I mean, Helena will go for it. You know what I mean.
<Calica> I don't think there's any actual opposed action there until the psychic force, so Ruo descends back into the shadows as Christa backs off to make it just a tad harder for the goons to aim.
<Calica> CentralAve: Roll Will
Phonestace has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Icon> (Opposed actions being necessary every turn, and being basically forcing conflict?)
<Calica> Oh, and Gloria and Rob each dive for a goon to keep 'em from firing
<Calica> Icon: Opposed actions being something where the effects of your actions that round would stop someone else
<Icon> Mm.
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Lisa's St
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 1 9 16 19 = 46.
<CentralAve> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> CentralAve: Rolled 4 15 = 19.
<Calica> Myrdradek: Oh, and does David want to do anything other than watch?
<Myrdradek> Calica Well now that Naberius has the briefcase, I assumed we were going to try to escape
<Calica> @dice roll 2d20 >! Rip is still fucking freaked out
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 2 16 = 18.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! Goon #1 drawing gun
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 3 12 18 = 33.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! Goon #2 drawing gun
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 13 17 18 = 48.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! Gloria tackling Goon #1
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 7 12 20 = 39.
<Calica> @dice roll 2d20 >! Rob tackling Goon #2
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 18 20 = 38.
<Yarrun> my allies are built like greek gods!

<Calica> Yarrun: did you roll Stamina yet?
<Yarrun> Let me try and roleplay some extra dice first
<Calica> alright
<Yarrun> Using his superspeed, Zachary dashes into the coven and puts his gun right between Rip's shoulderblades
<Yarrun> "Call off the goons or they'll be short of a boss"
<Calica> okay, I like it
<Calica> St+1
<Yarrun> @dice roll 3d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 8 9 13 = 30.
<Yarrun> welp
<Calica> Alright, first of all, Rip's goons stop going for their guns and try to push back against the coven members.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20
<Omnipresence> Calica: Rolled 7 10 12 = 29.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20
<Omnipresence> Calica: Rolled 1 17 18 = 36.
<Calica> Both of them don't actually push their respective assailants off, but manage to brace themselves a little and keep from getting concussions or the like.
<Calica> I'm playing them as mooks so they're basically knocked out. Doing it as Zach vs Rip is better anyways
<Calica> Next, Lisa manages to tail it. She's gone.
Medicine has joined #madokamadness
<Calica> Rip, meanwhile, manages to make it to Zachary before he can actually pull out the gun. Are you going to try to suck up the hit (1 die) or abandon pulling out the gun and use 2 to fight him off?
<Yarrun> use 2 to fight him off
<Yarrun> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 6 18 = 24.
<Calica> Luckily, you've got the super-speed working, and dodge Rip's dive.
<Yarrun> yaaay
<Calica> So now all we've got left to deal with is Christa vs homebase goons and Zach vs Rip
<Calica> The two goons back at the gang's home base have aimed their guns and are preparing to fire at Christa. Ruo is back in Christa's shadow and preparing to launch his shockwave at them. Is Christa going to try to dodge, charge at them, or something else?
<Calica> Yarrun: What about Zachary?
<Icon> I had something in mind but I don't know if it's too cheesy (?), or doable, or something that'd work. While launching the shockwave I'd want her to be shadowed above all quick-like, before attacking from above (whether through yannow, shadows or knocking one of them into the ground)
<Yarrun> Zachary tries to draw his gun again while Rip's still splayed out on the ground
<Icon> Since I figure if Ruo can tear things apart, simply flitting her up there quickly shouldn't be too hard a task?
<Calica> so bounce yourself into the air assisted by Ruo?
<Icon> Yah, before pummeling them, with Christa and/or Ruo
<Calica> I'm gonna take that as a multi-step attack. Icon, roll Stamina
<Calica> Yarrun: roll Will
<Icon> @dice roll 2d6
<Omnipresence> Icon: Rolled 6 6 = 12.
<Icon> Er, fuck
<Icon> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> Icon: Rolled 13 19 = 32.
<Yarrun> @dice roll 6d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 2 3 5 7 9 18 = 44.
<Yarrun> Oh come on
<Calica> @dice roll 6d20 >! Ruo's Will, for psychic shockwave
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 1 7 10 11 11 19 = 59.
<Calica> @dice roll 1d20 >! freaked out goon #3
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 2 = 2.
Phonestace has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! goon #4
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 9 10 15 = 34.
<Calica> @dice roll 2d20 >! Rip is still freaking the fuck out
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 9 10 = 19.
<Myrdradek> Hey guys, I'm starting to feel kinda sick, and all I really wanna do is go to sleep
<Myrdradek> I'm really sorry
<Yarrun> It's alright Myr
<Icon> Aaw. ;( I hope you feel better soon Myr.
<Icon> Take care.
<Calica> Myrdradek: can you wait until the end of the fight? it's almost over
<Yarrun> hope the school thing sorts itself out
<Myrdradek> Thanks
<Myrdradek> Calica sure
<Myrdradek> I can do that
<CentralAve> i'm about due for a bathroom run anyways, once the fight ends >_>
Phonestace has joined #madokamadness
<Calica> Christa is launched up into the air with Ruo's assistance, leading the goons to lose their target.
<Calica> @dice roll 1d20 >! freaked out goon #3 defending, lol
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 9 = 9.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20 >! not-freaked-out goon #4
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 8 11 20 = 39.
<Icon> (Gee dee.)
<Calica> The force of the shockwave is too much for goon #3, who collapses to the floor immediately.
<Calica> With Zachary's gun out of the holster, Rip tries for one last sucker-punch.
<Calica> Yarrun: Zach has 1 damage so roll St-1
<Yarrun> @dice roll 1d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 9 = 9.
<Yarrun> so, this is what it's like to be Icon
<Icon> (Yeah!!)
<Calica> Goon #4, seeing what just happened to his friend...
<Calica> ...throws down the gun and puts his hand up.
<Calica> "I don't know who the fuck you are but please don't hurt me."
<Calica> Yarrun: That was one victory so to do anything with Stamina you have to roll Will against it first.
<Icon> Christa, about to land a back attack in tandem with Ruo, stops. "Then we're good here." She takes out her razor. "I'll satiate you, just knock him out gently" she whispers, before returning to the same bandages.
<Calica> Rip finally sees the gun in Zachary's hand and the struggle between his goons and the coven members and stands down himself.
<Yarrun> Zachary wipes some blood off his lip and smiles
<Yarrun> "Took long enough. Now call off the goons."
<Calica> "I...I can't go back to Lisa like this. Is this what has her so pissed off about you?"
<Yarrun> "Something like that. And like hell you're going back to Lisa. You work for me now."
<Calica> "For...you? What do I get out of this?"
<Calica> The goon that wasn't knocked unconscious by Christa's attack panics. "W-why are you going after me and not him? You're just like the fucking witch!"
<Yarrun> "You've seen what I'm capable of, Rip. I could have killed the three of you a minute ago. The reason you're alive is because you're useful."
<Calica> "Useful? What do you want me to do?"
<Calica> Myrdradek: Sorry it's taking so long to get to your scene.
<Myrdradek> It's okay
<Calica> Is David going to call an ambulance for Helena now that Lisa's gone or just leave her on the street?
<Yarrun> "I'm getting back in the business, Rip. The crime business. And a gang leader needs a few trustworthy goons."
<Yarrun> "Besides, if your old boss comes after you, you'll be better off under me than out loose."
<Calica> "Are you going to demand blood, Zach? There's only so much shit I can pull for weird-asses like you and Lisa before half my guys want to bust free."
<Myrdradek> Calica He's going to call it in. He doesn't want anybody dead, especially when he's not sure she's even involved in the death of his brother
<Myrdradek> (roll to remember the number for 911)
<Yarrun> "Blood?" Zach pauses before forcing a grin onto his face. "Oh, no, we don't use those weaker methods. All I'll need is loyalty."
<Yarrun> "(Well, that sounds like Mutatus. Looks like we know where to go looking for the loot)"
<Calica> "Pull the gun out of my face and I can give you loyalty."
<Yarrun> Can I roll to see if he's believable?
<Calica> Roll Cover.
<Yarrun> @dice roll 5d20
<Omnipresence> Yarrun: Rolled 3 4 8 19 20 = 54.
<Calica> @dice roll 2d20
<Omnipresence> Calica: Rolled 4 19 = 23.
<Calica> He's telling the truth...pretty much.
<Yarrun> Zachary lowers the gun, though he doesn't put it back in his back pocket
<Calica> Rip stands up and goes back to a neutral position. "Those two are the only ones with any real loyalty to me."
<Yarrun> "Names"
<Icon> (I see what Myrdradek meant about Pulp Fiction, at this rate.)
<Calica> (damn you :p)
<Myrdradek> I really really feel sick now
<Calica> Myrdradek: alright, sorry. I can start off next session with a scene with you and Helena.
<Myrdradek> Thanks
<Myrdradek> bye
<Calica> Myrdradek: You're doing something tomorrow at this time, though, right?
<Icon> Take care.
<Myrdradek> Yah, my stream
<Calica> Myrdradek: then next sesh will be next monday
<Myrdradek> Which a few people here might want to go to? idk
<Myrdradek> bye
<Myrdradek> thanks
Myrdradek has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<CentralAve> is this a good time for a bathroom break
<Calica> Rip points to one of the goons. "That one's Bob." He points to the other one. "That one's Tom. They're not the brightest, but they're the only ones from Zed's gang who are still here out of loyalty to me rather than being afraid of Lisa."
<Yarrun> "And what were you going to do after busting in on my operation?"
CentralAve has quit IRC (Quit: bathroom break)
<Calica> "I was here for the money. Lisa wanted them, and her, especially" Rip points to Gloria "destroyed."
<Yarrun> "Yeah, I knew that. I meant after that. What else did she have you working on?"
<Calica> "Mostly just the protection racket. That and getting into really pointless fights. And when we didn't bleed, she made us."
<Calica> "She's been disappearing a lot lately, though."
<Yarrun> "Well, no more pointless fights then." Zachary bows his head in thought.
<Calica> "What are you aiming for, though? I thought you got out of this for a reason."
<Yarrun> "I got out because it got too hot. Now I'm the one wielding the blowtorch."
<Calica> "Where are you going to aim it?"
<Yarrun> "At anyone who pisses me off"
CentralAve has joined #madokamadness

<Yarrun> "But you will get paid"
<Calica> "I better." Rip, Bob, and Tom walk out of the building.
<Calica> Now back to Christa about to take a razor on one of the goons back at Lisa's HQ.
<Icon> Calica: Actually it was herself, alongside the first one to pass out.
<Calica> oh, lol, hard to tell
<Icon> Presumably the one who asked politely is already downed.
<Calica> well, one of them was knocked out and one of them was trying to surrender
<Icon> Right, I made a comment earlier before moving onto Yarr's.
<Icon> Christa, about to land a back attack in tandem with Ruo, stops. "Then we're good here." She takes out her razor. "I'll satiate you, just knock him out gently" she whispers, before returning to the same bandages.
<Calica> okay, i misinterpreted, yeah
<Calica> "Knock me out? I have information!"
<Icon> She halts. "Yes? Then out with it, I have important matters to attend to."
<Calica> "I can show you where Lisa's secret area is."
<Icon> Considering rolling to see if he won't stab me in the back.
<Calica> "I've peeked in, and it's mostly weird fucking shit that makes no sense, but it's also got some weird enemy list?"
<Calica> Icon: Roll Will.
<Icon> @dice roll 3d20
<Omnipresence> Icon: Rolled 3 15 20 = 38.
<Calica> @dice roll 3d20
<Omnipresence> Calica: Rolled 6 10 12 = 28.
<Calica> He's suspicious as hell.
<Icon> "You're pleading for your wellbeing, what's to say I can trust you anyway?" Internally "Ruo, cast your shadow along his person, make him fear; I don't want any holding back on his part."
<Calica> "Of course. Thank you for the blood."
<Calica> The goon unlocks and opens the headquarters door for Christa.
<Yarrun> Mind if I cut in and finish my bit?
<Calica> Yarrun: go ahead
<Icon> "After you." Christa begins, handling the razor in case.
<Yarrun> Zach turns to Gloria, the mask of arrogance falling from his face. "S-sorry about that", he stuttered out. "Got a little carried away there. At least they'll be out of your hair now."
<Calica> "What are you planning to do with his group? He's going to turn against you if you don't provide the money somehow."
<Yarrun> "Honestly? I was thinking off the top of my head"
<Yarrun> "Once they come back with the list, I'll probably pick a few for them to keep the protection racket on"
<Yarrun> "Folks who can afford it"
<Calica> "Lisa's probably pissed we stole some of her drugs, too. She might come after you herself. Are you ready for that?"
<Yarrun> "Nope."
<Yarrun> "You should probably stay low for a while. Once the terrible trio come back, we're going into hiding."
<Calica> "I'll tell the rest of the coven to stay home."
<Yarrun> "...do you think we still have time to try the summoning again?"
<Calica> "We can try, at least."
<Yarrun> "Alright, one more go."
<Yarrun> (maybe we should finish up Christa's part before doing this?)
<Calica> and now we switch to Christa's scene.
<Calica> (we'll do the summoning next session)
<Yarrun> alright
<Yarrun> night then
<Calica> night

<Calica> Anyways, Christa enters the gang headquarters, and aside from the mild disrepair, blood stains everywhere, and guns all over the walls, it looks like a normal house.
<Icon> Everything else is secondary, really. "So cut to it and show me there this place is, and prove your still being conscious was a good choice on your part."
<Calica> The goon pokes at a bookshelf and opens up the secret compartment. "Step right in."
<Icon> Hm, anything I can roll to check this place out, or did the roll that found out he's sketchy do enough?
<Calica> The house itself isn't sketchy at all beyond being where a gang hangs out aside from the secret area.
<Icon> Ah, okay.
<Icon> "Very Well." Christa eases inside, still wondering if she shouldn't have just knocked the guy out anyway.
<Calica> The special room is very clearly demonic. One wall contains a row of sorcerous books--though not Christa's--and a lot of blue vials.
<Calica> There's also a map of places to strike...including Christa's apartment.
<Icon> Hm. There's... next to nothing of interest in here, she sees. Standard demonic Summoning supplies, sorcerery materials covering subjects she's familiar with. Until. "Hey, you." Christa starts angrily, though keeping it in check. "Explain that." she orders, pointing to the hit list.
<Calica> He's on the phone. "Lisa...something's gone very wrong. Someone's at your place."

<Icon> And that's the final straw for her. "Ruo. Feast."
<Calica> "I...ahh!" Ruo begins to claw at the goon, his blood vaporizing in the air as it turns into a feast for Ruo.
<Calica> Christa continues to explore the room. The hit list map seems to mostly list places with books.
<Calica> Christa's apartment is both circled and crossed out, as a successful heist was accomplished.
<Calica> Circled, but not yet crossed out, is the University History Library.
<Icon> "Ruo, I think we know where to go." she says calmly, motioning again towards the map.
<Calica> "Who the hell are you?" A voice sounds from outside the secret room.
CentralAve has quit IRC (Quit: heading home soon)
<Icon> "God damn it..." Christa turns, looking for any shadows to hide in.
<Calica> "And what are you doing in my house?"
<Icon> Internally: "Ruo, any chance you can knock us out of here?"
<Calica> "I...can try."
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Ruo's Stamina
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 5 12 16 19 20 = 72.
<Calica> @dice roll 5d20 >! Lisa's
<Omnipresence> : Rolled 4 6 12 14 17 = 53.
<Calica> Lisa catches a glance of Ruo and Christa as the former throws the latter out of the building in a way that would be pretty harmful to her if she weren't being protected by his powers.
<Calica> "That blood was for me!" she screams as she notices the goon Ruo had begun to drain.
<Calica> She grabs a cup, scoops some of the blood of his that's still bleeding, and begins to drink.
