GURPS Negima/Pokemon Crossover Campaign

In entirely related news, would this give a bonus to my next roll?

Sorry, that didn't need to be said. But I think at least +1 would be appropriate.

Feck...now i needz more acid...

Kekeke, my cunning plan came to fruition! Mwahahaha!

But seriously, what do I do now I'm stuck in the wrong time/universe?

your in the right one. Its us that are in the wrong one

Aye, but the action's over there, and you know what I'm like. I built my character for... well, dinosaurs primarily, but power second. And what's the point in power when your enemies are in another world?

Whoever said the enemies were over there? He's just over for a quick plot injection before Domino sends him back. I mean, they don't want a spec of grit in their metaphorical clock, do they? Yes, Jack, you are a speck of grit. No arguments.

Steal as much stuff as you can first, just to piss 'im off.

Now, Dorian, about this bonus to my next roll...

+2, why not? Of course, in your time, personal hygeine didn't exist, so it's -2 untill you buy her some mouth wash. And I have now officially killed my brain. Who's got the arsenic, please?

That works for me. So I'm rolling vs 17 (assuming I keep the +3 from beforehand) if I don't, 19 if I do. I like those odds.

Just eat almonds and have a psychosomatic death.

Why almonds? I like almonds just fine, assuming they're in a cake or something. If they're not, then fair enough, but I'm not eating too many. Also, I've found my decuple-strength brain bleach, so I can forget. Here we go!

*glug glug glug*

Wait, where am I? What is this? Who are you people!?

Arsenic apparently tastes like almonds. Apparently, I haven't tried it. You can tell by the way I'm breathing. As in, I am.

He's a video/story maker, I'm a dick. But one of those ones that doesn't piss you off too much. Speaking off pissing you off, may I have the following for my 10 points?

10 Striking ST (-20% for high SM, -10% for Pact, -20% for Full Power in Emergencies only, -30% for Temporary Disadvantage Berserk and Bloodlust).

Add switchable in, or, I swear to god, I will fucking bring the rain on your ass! But other than that, yeah, unless it gets stupid. Also, just a thought, Beserk + Bloodlust = Fuck it, I don't care anymore, you're all gonna die, no matter who you are. So, yeah. Bad idea, methinks.

It's not always on, don't worry. It's basically just for when he gets angry, he gets a lot stronger and starts breaking stuff that threatens him/the party/konoka.

Well, Striking ST defaults to 'always on', so, on second thoughts, Emergencies Only (-30%) would more be realistic, no? Also, for a total beserk mode (kinda like The Hulk), add in Uncontrolable (-30%) I mean, you could just get full-on ST instead of Striking ST, maybe even link it to a Force Feild DR to represent divine RAEG!!! Now, ideas good?

Excuse me, I'm just going to minmax like fuck to fit that in 10 points, and I'm going to do it with implied permission.

EDIT: It is done. Check your PMs. I've decided to use Alternate Form after all, made quite a shiny one. Also, should I transform, I'm making that roll at 21, without even buying the mouthwash. 23 if I do.

Minmaxing for Sex Appeal. Who'd have thought it worth doing?

Me. Minmaxing for anything is absolutely brilliant, as long as game-breakers are burnt at the stake *cough*heartless*cough*. Also, minmaxing for social skills can turn your character into a secret master known only as "The Diplomancer", a being so social, it never has to fight a battle due to negotiation.

*Gong sounds*

Ah, diplomacy in 3.5. So broken it hurts. Damn it, I really want another game of 3.5 now. Want to test out my necromancer gestalt.

I think I could get it higher (no, pay attention to the sentence, not the crude joke) if we counted Sex Appeal as a racial skill for angels.

Angels? You mean those beings of utmost purity, that are only beautiful because we percieve them as such? Yeah, no. Really, REALLY no. Any more questions?

I would count sex appeal as a racial thing for angels. They are renowned for their sheer beauty so of course people are going to see them for sex appeal.

Yeah, but it's me!

Anything you would class as a racial skill?

Welp. Another interesting session. Three logs again. Fun times. Read on:

[22:28] <@Dorian> Last session, you fought Domino and his guards, before he teleported Karm, Nodoka, and Conjack away to somewhere. It is now 1PM, about 50 minutes after the fight, and Conjack has just burst into the school, where Hrar and Konoka have been talking for around half an hour.
[22:29] <%Spiritcurse> "Oh, hi Conjack. Where'd you go?"
[22:29] <%Dark> "How long have I been gone!" I shout as I entre, seeming frantic
[22:30] <%Spiritcurse> "Not long. We've been here the whole time."
[22:31] <%Dark> I look at you with a pained expression, as if I was being torn apart by somthing before spinning on my heels and running through the door
[22:31] <%Spiritcurse> "What's wrong with him?" I ask Konoka.
[22:32] <%Spiritcurse> "Come on, let's go see what's wrong." I grab her hand and start jogging after him.
[22:32] <@Dorian> Konoka shrugs. "Ok, then."
[22:33] <@Dorian> She follows after you, running to keep up.
[22:33] <%Spiritcurse> "Tell you what, this should help" I pick her up, then breaking into a run.
[22:34] <%Dark> I run through hallways and paths alike, heading towards the small cottage that stands apart from the rest of the acadamy
[22:34] <@Dorian> Konoka frowns, "Why is he heading for Eva's house...?"
[22:35] <%Spiritcurse> "Eva... is she that demon child I met before?"
[22:35] <@Dorian> "I'unno, how old did she look?"
[22:35] <%Spiritcurse> "Pretty young, a lot younger than the rest of the people here."
[22:37] <@Dorian> Suddenly, in a blaze of light, Karm appears, shirtless and carrying an unconcious Nodoka.
[22:37] <%Ven> i sway slighty as my vision comes back and i see the other running
[22:37] <%Ven> "Konoka! i need help!"
[22:37] <%Spiritcurse> I sprint to Karm, putting Konoka down in front of him.
[22:39] <%Ven> "She's....Her skin is freezing they took her crystal, i sorry" i collapse to my knees
[22:39] <%Spiritcurse> "That's two of them. Who had the last one?"
[22:40] <@Dorian> Konoka jumps up, and runs to Nodoka. "Oh, god, this is bad. Ok, I'll get going straight away." With that, she begins healing.
[22:41] <%Ven> "Domino, took i try to get out but he binded me"
[22:41] <%Spiritcurse> "Do you need any help? Either of you?"
[22:42] <@Dorian> Konoka shakes her head. "No, I'll be fine."
[22:42] <%Spiritcurse> "Okay. Then I'll be back soon." I drop to my knees, eyes closed, meditating.
[22:48] <@Dorian> Konoka frowns, "Can we get to somewhere where we're not out in the open? Like, say, Eva's house?"
[22:48] <%Ven> "ok" i pick up Nodoka and carry her over to the house
[22:49] <@Dorian> Konoka sighs, and follows you, trying to keep healing her.
[22:49] <%Spiritcurse> I float some distance into the air, my wings and eyes glowing brightly. A field of light surrounds me, and a sense of awe radiates from me. I swoop down, pick up Konoka and fly to the house, saying close to Nodoka.
[22:49] <%Dark> As you walk into view of it, you see me disappear through the door leaving a confused looking Chachamaru in my wake
[22:51] <%Ven> "hmm a AI, nice" as i run over to her " can we please come in?
[22:51] <%Spiritcurse> I land, trying to tone down the light somewhat. "Sorry, I still haven't got the hang of this."
[22:52] <@Dorian> Chachamaru nods. "Very well. Please, this way." After that, she walks into the cottage, beckoning for you to follow.
[22:53] <%Dark> I am in the living room, holding Eva by the shoulders after seeming to have just broken from a hug of the girl
[22:53] <%Spiritcurse> The light fades off. "There we go, much better." I drop Konoka and enter.
[22:53] <%Dark> I seem to be alomst crying with a massive smile on my face
[22:53] <@Dorian> Eva frowns, "What's up?"
[22:53] <%Ven> i enter making sure not to hurt Nodoka's head on the way in
[22:54] <%Ven> "I failed" i mutter as i walk in
[22:54] <%Spiritcurse> "What's happened Conjack?"
[22:54] <%Dark> "I'm just...so glad to see you alive"
[22:54] <%Ven> "Konoka some help?" i ask
[22:56] <@Dorian> Konoka nods, and jogs over to Nodoka, starting to heal her again.
[22:56] <@Dorian> Eva looks up at Conjack, "What does that mean!?"
[22:57] <%Ven> "Thank you" and crouch beside her
[22:58] <%Dark> I simple dont say anything as I look at her, seeming to nearly say somthign before walking to the side and picking up a little doll that was sat in the chair "Everything back...I'm so sorry..."
[22:59] <@Dorian> Eva frowns, "Sorry for what? What are you talking about?"
[22:59] <%Ven> "Hrar, i thought you said that Eva was a bit pissy? she seems alright" i say sweetly before focusing on Nodoka
[23:00] <%Dark> "Hes talking about his loss" A snake states as it imerges from the shadows, its yellow eyes looking towards Eva "Hes talking about what he has seen as he weakness towards it"
[23:01] <@Dorian> Eva turns to the snake, "What does that even mean?"
[23:02] <%Dark> "War,vampire. The vassle was sent to the future...a future where he had not been here to fight against the circle. And what he saw...shattered his heart"
[23:03] <%Spiritcurse> "She's a vampire? She must be destroyed. But after the battle..." I mutter to Konoka.
[23:04] <%Dark> A second snake suddenly appears inches from Hrar's face, its teeth bared and an inhuman growl coming from deep within its throat
[23:04] <%Ven> "Negi could have told me, ah well" i mutter
[23:04] <%Spiritcurse> "No call for that, demon."
[23:05] <%Dark> "Be mindful of what you say slave of light" The second snake hisses "The vassle likes you...but not for long if you were to state somthing like taht again"
[23:05] <%Ven> "you talked about killing her..."
[23:05] <@Dorian> Eva giggles, then turns back to the snake, "What kind of things?"
[23:07] <%Dark> it tilts its head, its lips curling back "Death. emptiness and the eternal cold. You're two vassles devestataed and broken and the entire population of this school reduced to nothing but ash and blackened bone"
[23:08] <@Dorian> Eva gasps. "How...?"
[23:08] <%Dark> "You were gone too" it whispers "The vassel saw a world where you were nothing but ash"
[23:09] <%Dark> it almost seems to sing that last sentence
[23:09] <%Dark> "And it shattered him..."
[23:10] <@Dorian> Eva grimaces. "We need not communicate by these inefficient means. Show me the memories."
[23:11] <%Dark> The snake seems taken aback for a second before it grins and a black hand, thin and long like a skeleton reaches out and almost pinches her head with two fingers
[23:12] <%Dark> and as one...the memories of the future pour out into her mind...
[23:12] <@Dorian> Eva's eyes widen, and she breaths in slightly, before swiping the hand away, "No more!"
[23:13] <%Dark> "Now do you see? That is what the vassel lived in for a ful day. It broke him"
[23:18] <@Dorian> Eva curls into the fetal position, "I see why. We need to win this battle, then."
[23:18] <%Ven> "And they...have a new member...the Circle i mean"
[23:19] <%Dark> Conjack moves over as the snake pulls back and wraps his arm around her silently, placing his coat over her too whilst still holding the doll
[23:19] <%Spiritcurse> "Who?"
[23:19] <%Ven> "some...thing"
[23:19] <%Spiritcurse> "What did it look like? How can we kill it, or even just hurt it?"
[23:19] <%Ven> "about 3 foot high, and a helmet with spikes" i point my fingers in the air"
[23:20] <%Ven> *Pi Pi!! a scream comes from the door as Pichu runs through and jumps at Karm
[23:21] <%Spiritcurse> "Three foot? That's barely anything."
[23:21] <%Ven> "Say that to her" i point at Eva " she is small but still powerful from what you have told me"
[23:22] <%Dark> Both snakes snigger
[23:22] <%Ven> "No offence, my lady"
[23:23] <@Dorian> Eva nods. "...Good..." she shivers, and hugs up to Conjack.
[23:23] <%Dark> I am silent as I try to comfort her
[23:24] <%Ven> i cock my head to the side slightly " hm anyway" i shake my head " they said that he was the *real eightith* member of the Circle"
[23:24] <%Spiritcurse> "Right. Either way, we'd better get some defenses set up - it's nearly the last day."
[23:25] <%Dark> "I killed the eighth member" One of the snakes snarls
[23:26] <%Spiritcurse> "Well then, let's go get the rest."
[23:26] <%Ven> "I don't think they meant...him" i say turning to Pichu who hides the shades behind his back
[23:27] <%Dark> The darkness tilts its head and a couple of hearltess appear int eh room. Dropping a set of items on the floor
[23:27] <%Dark> this is what that maggot was carrying when my minions had their way with him..."
[23:27] <@Dorian> The sound of a car comes from outside, and a man in full combat gear and a gas mask bursts through the door. "Sirs! Captain Lingshen requests your presense at the World Tree coomand center."
[23:28] <%Ven> "Yeah?" i search through the items
[23:28] <%Spiritcurse> "I'll be there. Does anyone need a lift?"
[23:29] <%Dark> you find a bullet proof vest, a couple of guns, broken ear-piece and a broken throat mike
[23:30] <%Dark> as the man walks in, the snakes snap back into the shadows and the heartless drag the items away in a flash of movement
[23:30] <%Ven> i pick up the guns "hmmm lets give these to the *commander* as a present? she might know what use they have"
[23:32] <%Ven> "I will stay here with Nodoka, iwill catch up"
[23:32] <@Dorian> The man shakes his head. "You have to come. Captain's orders."
[23:33] <%Ven> "I don't take orders. but fine." i walk out the door and whistle Loudly and Violently
[23:34] <%Ven> "Aquilo Pugnare Mecum Guardian!" i cry
[23:34] <@Dorian> The man harumphs, "If you're that certain about it, you can stay, but the Captain won't be pleased."
[23:34] <@Dorian> As you cry that, Suicune dashes in from over the lake, roaring as he comes.
[23:34] <%Dark> I stand up, keeping my arm around Eva as i try to guide her up as well "I'm not leaving Eva" I state matter of factly
[23:35] <%Ven> "Fine i will catch up i have Suicune with me i will catch up soon as soon as she wakes up"
[23:35] <@Dorian> The man sighs, "She can come too, Mr. Darkright."
[23:35] <%Spiritcurse> "I'll go with Konoka, I have to protect her."
[23:35] <@Dorian> "The captain said it was ok."
[23:36] <%Dark> I nod, my arm keeping the vampire close whilst the other still holds the motionless puppet
[23:36] <@Dorian> Eva nods as well, "Fine, I'll come too. I gotta see what all this fuss is about."
[23:37] <%Ven> "Eva....thank you for letting us stay here" i smile
[23:37] <@Dorian> Eva nods, "Don't mention it. Ever."
[23:37] <%Dark> I chuckle slightly
[23:37] <%Ven> i laugh quietly "Ok it's a deal"
[23:39] <@Dorian> Konoka walks over, "Well, Nodoka should be fine now, as long as someone stays to keep her brow cool. I'll go to this 'command center' with you."
[23:40] <@Dorian> "Karm can do it."
[23:40] <%Spiritcurse> "Wonderful, thank you. Shall I carry you?"
[23:41] <@Dorian> "I think this man has a car, of some sort. Do you?"
[23:41] <@Dorian> The man nods, "The hummer's waiting outside."
[23:41] <%Dark> I look down at Eva, raising an eyebrow to check she is allright
[23:42] <%Spiritcurse> "Umm, okay..." A confused look on my face, I fold my wings away and the glow dims from my eyes.
[23:43] <@Dorian> Eva looks up at Conjack and frowns, "What?"
[23:44] <%Dark> "You ok?"
[23:44] <@Dorian> "... Yeah...."
[23:45] <%Dark> I nod slightly and give her my usal reasuring squezze of the shoulder before leading her outside
[23:52] <@Dorian> Konoka wanders outside before calling back to Hrar "You coming?"
[23:53] <%Spiritcurse> "Of course!" I step outside and hesistantly climb into the car.
[23:54] <%Dark> I hold the door open for Eva to climb in before doing so myself
[23:55] <@Dorian> After everyone has climbed into the Humvee, the man gets in the front and drives off, making sure to keep to the main roads, heading for the World Tree plaza.
[23:56] <%Dark> "So...we get any new reports?" I ask him
[23:57] <@Dorian> "Better wait until we get to the base. Captain can tell it better than I can."
[23:57] <%Spiritcurse> "Is the news bad?"
[23:57] <%Dark> [theres no news like bad new...right jackie?]
[23:58] <@Dorian> "Like I said, better to let the captain tell you."
[23:58] <%Spiritcurse> "Okay then."
[23:59] <%Dark> "Have you met Lingshen since she got back Eva?"
[00:00] <@Dorian> Eva shakes her head, "No not yet. I trust she hasn't changed?"
[00:02] <%Dark> "Naw not really. Still fighting the good fight and yet seeming to be somehow perminitly jolly inbetween"
[00:03] <@Dorian> As you arrive at the World Tree plaza, you see that it has been entirely cordoned off from the public, with a large millitary-like installation in the middle. The humvee pulls up to the intalation, and the man gets out, opening the doors to let you all out.
[00:05] <%Dark> I streatch as I get out, looking up at the bright sun with a tut before looking at the militay pressence around me
[00:05] <%Spiritcurse> I step out, helping Konoka get out after me. I hold her hand and wait by the soldier, the other hand on the handle of my maul.
[00:14] <@Dorian> The soldier steps towards the command centre, "Coming?"
[00:14] <%Dark> I nod as I step beside Eva and follow, looking around at the military force
[00:14] <%Dark> [War jackie....one of the four...]
[00:15] <%Spiritcurse> "Aye, I am."
[00:16] <%Spiritcurse> "What are your men armed with?"
[00:17] <@Dorian> "ICWs, standard issue."
[00:17] <%Spiritcurse> "ICW?"
[00:20] <@Dorian> "Infinity Combat Weapon. A standard assault rifle, not too fancy, but not too crap, either."
[00:21] <%Dark> "You really think an assault rifle will do any good?"
[00:21] <%Dark> [we both know the anserw to that...]
[00:21] <%Spiritcurse> "Assault rifle? Forgive me, your weapons are new to me. I much prefer my style of fighting."
[00:22] <@Dorian> "Well, they've gotta have standard troops as well, so we'll mow them down like there's no tomorrow, whilst you super-types take on their commanders."
[00:22] <@Dorian> "Also, what did you fight in your time, cave man?"
[00:22] <%Dark> [Super-types? what does he think this is? A comic book?]
[00:23] <%Spiritcurse> "Dragons. Demons. Giant lizards."
[00:27] <@Dorian> "Well, these 'assault rifles' could tear a giant lizard in half, blow a demon's brains out, and put so many holes in a dragon it wouldn't be able to breath for lead."
[00:27] <%Spiritcurse> "I'd like to see that. They would have been useful. We wouldn't have had to rely on ourselves, our own honour and strength if we had those 'rifles' to do it for us."
[00:28] <@Dorian> "Why bother with honour when you can blow someone's brains out from about half a mile away?"
[00:29] <%Dark> "Because its honour that keeps your heart safe from the grip of violence"
[00:29] <%Spiritcurse> "I take it you're not a brave man then?"
[00:30] <@Dorian> "Naw, we got psychologists for that shit. Now, to see the captain..."
[00:30] <%Spiritcurse> "Yes, let's go."
[00:31] <%Dark> "hardily an idea soldier..."
[00:31] <@Dorian> With that, he walks into the base, heading for a 3D holographic model of Mahora. Chao is stood next to it, frowning and looking at different views of the lake in particular.
[00:32] <%Dark> "Impressive"
[00:33] <%Spiritcurse> "Whoa... What is that?"
[00:33] <@Dorian> Chao looks up towards you. "Indeed. This," she gestures towards the hologram, "is a map. Here," she gestures towards the lake, "is where we think they are."
[00:34] <%Dark> "THink? The built a fecking island there and run games. I think its a sage bet"
[00:34] <%Dark> "safe bet"*
[00:34] <%Spiritcurse> "They are there. We've been there."
[00:35] <@Dorian> Chao nods, "Good, but I meant their warriors. Now, I'm going to need some help planning this battle. Could you?"
[00:36] <%Spiritcurse> "I'll give what help I can. Just remember, I'm not used to your weapons."
[00:36] <%Dark> I simply nod "The Heartless are at your service"
[00:37] <%Dark> [Pledging your minions to a cause you have allready seen fail?]
[00:37] <%Spiritcurse> "As am I."
[00:38] <@Dorian> Eva smirks, "You plan all you want, you'll still fail. I've seen it. Now, I need a cup of tea."
[00:39] <@Dorian> Konoka starts at her words, "Ah! Can I come, too?"
[00:39] <@Dorian> Eva shrugs, "Eh, sure, why not?" With that, they leave in search of the break room.
[00:39] <%Dark> I fix her with a very stern gaze "And i will not allow that to become a reality Eva...even if I have to give my last breath to stop it"
[00:40] <%Spiritcurse> I kiss Konoka as she leaves, tilting my head quizically, then deciding better of it. "See you later."
[00:40] <%Spiritcurse> I turn back to the soldier, suddenly businesslike. "Alright, do we have a plan?"
[00:41] <%Dark> I am silent as i keep looking towards the door where the two girls had gone, my fist going white from my grip on the hilt of my blade
[00:43] <%Spiritcurse> "Keep it together. If we do this right, she'll live. They'll all live."
[00:44] <%Dark> I look at him, somthing flashing across my eyes before I simply nod and look back towards Chao
[00:45] <%Spiritcurse> "So, the plan."
[00:45] <@Dorian> Chao nods, "We need to get control of Library Island, which we believe they currently have, so that we can evacuate as many people as possible to the Magical World. Once we've done that, the remaining combatants, who haven't gone to defend those in the Magical World, will fight off the remaining enemy forces, before destroying Library Island, in order to ensure their safety. Those left will perish, but the majority will survive."
[00:46] <@Dorian> "The problem is taking Library Island."
[00:46] <%Spiritcurse> "Have you any spells that can help from the air?"
[00:48] <@Dorian> "We do have a small group of combat mages, all with decent blast spells, who could provide fire support, but we need them for healing support."
[00:49] <%Spiritcurse> "Right. Could they enchant something quickly?"
[00:49] <@Dorian> "Not permanently, no."
[00:49] <@Dorian> "Or temporarily, come to think of it."
[00:50] <%Spiritcurse> "In that case, I'll need the two best shots with these 'rifles' to come here."
[00:50] <%Dark> "What are you thinking?"
[00:50] <@Dorian> "Snipers? Who are they aiming for?"
[00:51] <%Spiritcurse> "If we attack from the air, we have a huge advantage. Now, they can't fly, and I can't shoot. However..."
[00:51] <@Dorian> "What?"
[00:51] <%Spiritcurse> "They're aiming for whatever looks scariest. I can carry two men easily and retain my flight. Gives them a perfect field of vision."
[00:52] <%Dark> "My heartless can carry a man easily"
[00:52] <%Spiritcurse> "I can also assist with my minor amount of spells."
[00:53] <@Dorian> "That... sounds both insane and brilliant. We're doing it! However, it all falls to pieces if they have fliers, right?"
[00:54] <%Dark> "Like I say, my heartless will swarm around them. fighter escort as it were"
[00:54] <%Spiritcurse> "Not quite. If they do, the some Heartless take the snipers from me and we fight."
[00:54] <%Spiritcurse> "Also, we're going to need people on the ground, killing anything they see in the air."
[00:54] <%Spiritcurse> "Except us."
[00:56] <%Dark> "I will stay on the ground. I prefer that to flying but can come up to support you should things go wrong"
[00:56] <%Spiritcurse> "Perfect. Are you any good with these rifles?"
[00:56] <%Spiritcurse> "Or any ranged attack, for that matter?"
[00:56] <@Dorian> "I'm not a rifle user. I'm a mage!"
[00:57] <%Spiritcurse> "I was talking to Conjack. But you can help too. What spells do you know?"
[00:57] <%Dark> "I fought in both world wars so I have expieance with them, but i prefer my own weapons" I produce a couple of handguns from my coat
[00:57] <%Spiritcurse> "Perfect. Any help you could give me would be appreciated."
[00:57] <@Dorian> "I'm a pyromancer. I cast fire. Lots of fire."
[00:58] <%Spiritcurse> "Perfect. Now, we need protection from magic, is there anyone with that sort of spell?"
[00:58] <%Dark> "I still remember watching your fight with great interest last Festival. I can vouch that she has great power...when she dosent allow her rage to make her give over to it too much..."
[00:59] <%Dark> "There is one person...but its not so much a spell as a pressence"
[01:00] <@Dorian> "Oh, Asuna! Yeah, that could work..."
[01:00] <%Spiritcurse> "And finally, does this base have medical facilities?"
[01:05] <@Dorian> "Yes, lots. We have state-of-the-art, even by our standards, medical beds and feild kits."
[01:06] <%Spiritcurse> "Perfect. Do you also have a generator on base?"
[01:06] <%Dark> "And war did sweep in like a tempest. Leaving not even ravens to scavange from the earth..."
[01:06] <@Dorian> "Yes, why?"
[01:07] <%Spiritcurse> "We need as much power as we can."
[01:08] <@Dorian> "Ah, point."
[01:15] <%Spiritcurse> "Okay, I want you to find Asuna, get her to cast a ward around the entire base. Use the generator for power. Order everybpdy to assist in any way they can. You'll need blood or something to paint the lines with, unless your time has something more advanced."
[01:15] <%Dark> "Errr....paint?"
[01:15] <%Spiritcurse> "Okay, use that."
[01:16] <%Spiritcurse> "I'd start now, this won't be a fast spell to cast."
[01:16] <@Dorian> "Ok." she motions to one of the men, and nods. He nods back, and walks off, out into the town."
[01:16] <%Dark> "What would you have me do?"
[01:17] <%Spiritcurse> "Are there any traps you can set? Surely you have some traps."
[01:19] <%Spiritcurse> "Oh, and tell Asuna one thing. Make the line something solid - carve it in, or scorch the earth with the runes."
[01:20] <%Dark> "I will go and get Asuna myself" I nod before turning to leave.
[01:21] <%Dark> As I go I pause and look back towards you both "And look after Eva while I'm gone" And with that, i vanish into the town
[01:21] <%Spiritcurse> "I will."
[01:31] <%Spiritcurse> "Chao, I have another idea. Who here knows the most spells?"
[01:32] <@Dorian> "On the base? Probably me, why?"
[01:32] <%Spiritcurse> "In the entire area. I was thinking of a backup plan."
[01:33] <@Dorian> "Ah, probably the Dean, then."
[01:33] <%Spiritcurse> "Would he mind helping us out with a bit of defense?"
[01:33] <@Dorian> "Probably not, no."
[01:34] <%Spiritcurse> "Excellent. Do you have any way of allowing people to see the outside of the base while staying inside?"
[01:34] <@Dorian> "Yes, scrying. Why?"
[01:35] <%Spiritcurse> "I was thinking, if we had the Dean stay inside, throw up counters to their spells and attacks. Should give us some additional protection."
[01:36] <@Dorian> "Good idea. Let's do it!"
[01:36] <%Spiritcurse> "Perfect! Once the pentagram is done, link him up to some small generators."
[01:37] <@Dorian> {{{FOCUS ON CONJACK}}}
[01:39] <@Dorian> As Conjack enters the festival area, a large trumpet sounds, and a parade starts, blocking him off from a good half of the city.
[01:40] <%Dark> "Perfect" I groan "I usually love these things too..."
[01:48] <%Dark> I mutter to myself as I try to push through the crowd, keeping an eye out on both the parade and the crowd for anyone i really regognise as I head towrds the main building
[01:49] <@Dorian> As you approach the main building, you see Asuna and Setsuna sat outside, each drinking what appears to be a fruit juice with an umbrella in it and talking.
[01:51] <%Dark> I streighten my coat so I dont look quite as frantic (I am still a teacher after all) and make my way over to them. "Enjoying the festival?"
[01:56] <@Dorian> They both look up, red faced, "Yes, sir!"
[01:58] <%Dark> I smile and nod "Listen...sorry to interupt you but I'm afread that I'm going to need to borrow you Asuna for a while. You're welcome to come too Setsuna"
[02:02] <@Dorian> Asuna and Setsuna smile to each other. "Oooohkaaaay, sir, but why?"
[02:03] <%Dark> "Because somthing big is happening...I canrt tell you why here but its very important"
[02:07] <@Dorian> Asuna nods, "Kay, then. I'll come. Setsuna, you stay here, get some more drinks. Sound good?"
[02:07] <@Dorian> Setsuna smiles, "Yeah, will do! Don't expect to get any, though!"
[02:08] <%Dark> "Here" I toss her some money "Have one on me. My apolagy for this"
[02:09] <@Dorian> Setsuna smiles, "Thanking you kindly, sir! See you later!"
[02:09] <%Dark> "Indeed"
[02:09] <%Dark> [Yes....]
[02:09] <@Dorian> Asuna gets up as Setsuna leaves, "Where we going, then, sir?"
[02:12] <%Dark> "To the world tree. I'm afread your needed for somthing that has a major effect on the acadamy itself. It shouldnt take long but we need you for it kind of now. Hence me interupting you in the middle of your day off"
[02:14] <@Dorian> "Nah, don't worry 'bout it, sir. 'Course, I might not be in the best state to help, at the moment."
[02:14] <%Dark> "Been having a fun festival then?" I remark, noticing the way shes talking
[02:15] <@Dorian> "Yep! We got Daquiri's! They're like lemon juice, but nice! And with ice! And rum!"
[02:16] <%Dark> [Perfect...]
[02:17] <%Dark> "Indeed. Welp like i say, this shouldt take long...I'd just hate to be you in the morning..."
[02:18] <@Dorian> "Oops, didn't think of that... Well, whatever! Let's go!"
[02:19] <%Dark> I keep an eye on her as we walk, making sure she dosent wonder off "So hows Negi lately? I havent been able to speak to him in a while"
[02:21] <@Dorian> She sighs, "He's been off with Ku Fei for the entire festival. Man, are those two in love, or what!"
[02:22] <%Dark> I flinch slightly but keep walking, trying to ignore the voice that is whispering in my head as i suddenly try to change the subject"And how about you?"
[02:23] <@Dorian> "Meh, same old. You?"
[02:24] <%Dark> "Had a rough couple of days but I'm plodding on through it"
[02:24] <@Dorian> "Damn, that sounds boring!"
[02:26] <%Dark> "Now things tend to get interesting around her no matter how hard I try" I laugh before saying "...and they are certanly building up to it now..."
[02:26] <@Dorian> "Huh? How so?"
[02:28] <%Dark> "I'd rather not say I'm afread. But you will find out once we reach the tree me thinks"
[02:29] <@Dorian> "Kay!"
[02:30] <%Dark> I laugh at her attitude, the happieness seems almost out of place after recent event
[02:33] <@Dorian> As you approach the Tree and enter the base, you see Chao and Hrar discussing complex strategies involving mage bombing and strfing fire over a cup of tea each. Chao looks up and, seeing Asuna, smiles.
[02:33] <@Dorian> Asuna wanders over to Chao, and hugs her. "How you been, Chao?"
[02:33] <%Dark> I move to stand by Hrar
[02:33] <@Dorian> Chao appears supprised, but hugs her back, "Fine, thanks for asking."
[02:34] <%Spiritcurse> "Hi Conjack. Had fun?"
[02:34] <%Dark> "Interesting enough" I smile back before looking around for somewhere to make myself a cup of tea
[02:35] <%Spiritcurse> "Good" I reply, somewhat distracted. "Asuna, have you had the plan explained to you?"
[02:36] <%Dark> "I thought it best she heard it from you two, you seemed pretty on top of everything"
[02:36] <@Dorian> Asuna turns to face Hrar, "Exactly! What he said, see?"
[02:37] <%Dark> "Shes a little drunk" I whipser to Chao
[02:37] <@Dorian> Chao nods, "I'd guessed. She doesn't usually do hugs, right?"
[02:38] <%Spiritcurse> "Okay then. Basically, we need you to cast a rather large spell. Apparently your name for it is 'Pentagram'. We need one around the entire base as quickly as possible, which is where you come in. You'll be powered by the generator, a mage will be on hand to feed the power to you. We need the markings strong, so use paint or fire to make them strong."
[02:38] <%Dark> "Not usualy"
[02:39] <%Spiritcurse> "This may take a while, and you'll be vulnerable, so I'm going to make sure a couple of solider are with you. Conjack, could you send a heartless to guard her?"
[02:39] <@Dorian> Asuna frowns, "I can't cast that kinda spell! I just do the anti-magic, see?"
[02:40] <@Dorian> "That, and the swording of stuff!" She giggles furiously.
[02:40] <%Spiritcurse> "A pentagram is anti magic, don't worry. You need put the runes on the ground, focus the magic outwards."
[02:40] <%Dark> "Christ" i groan as i rub my eyes, turning to my tea with a sigh of relief
[02:41] <@Dorian> "Focus? Nah, can't do that, see? Can't think proper, see? Too much daquiri, see?"
[02:41] <%Dark> [a good smack around the head should do the trick...]
[02:41] <%Spiritcurse> "Will somebody sober her up?"
[02:43] <%Spiritcurse> "Conjack, can you get into her mind?"
[02:43] <%Dark> "Errr...yer...not sure I want to though..."
[02:44] <%Spiritcurse> "I was thinking, if you could get into her head, read the runes from there, and copy them onto the ground?"
[02:47] <%Spiritcurse> "She's not as useful as I thought. Does anybody here know how to cast a pentagram?"
[02:48] <@Dorian> Chao frowns, "Well, I do, but I'm slightly out of practive. Why, I thought you needed anti-magic."
[02:48] <%Dark> "God I feel a headache coming on" I groan as i return to my tea, closing my eyes slightly
[02:49] <%Spiritcurse> "I needed to block magic, She could be useful on the front lines though. Could you cast the spell instead?"
[02:50] <@Dorian> "Maybe. Depends on the skill needed."
[02:51] <%Spiritcurse> "You've got more than enough energy, your skill doesn't really matter. As long as you can remember the rough shape."
[02:51] <@Dorian> "Well. Let's get to work, then!"
[02:51] <@Dorian> END OF SESSION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



[21:30] Conjack is sat silent next to a set off three graves, his hands covered in cuts and his body openly exhausted from his efforts. Only two of the three graves have been actually filled and the other remains just the marker, each of the three having been cut out of the dead wood from a nearby tree. He seems to have been crying but is now utterly silent. Not moving in the slightest as he looks at his work, having been there for what feels like
[21:31] A slight chuckle emanates from a building behind him.
[21:32] He doesn’t move, not seeming to care but a single snake rises from his shoulder and looks towards where the sound had come from, its eyes thin
[21:35] Domino stands there, leaning against a building, and smoking a cigarette, the only difference between this one and the one from your time being a scar over one eye.
[21:37] The Snake hisses at the sight of him before seeming to hear a mental command and looking back to Conjack. It then looks back but does nothing whilst Conjack still seems utterly motionless
[21:39] "Well, how do you like this time, shadow boy?"
[21:39] The snake snarls again but again I say nothing, my eyes never leaving the graves before me
[21:40] He takes a puff on his cigarette, "Friends of yours?"
[21:41] Again, utter silence for a few minutes before I whisper without looking up from the graves "I hope you enjoy your new world Domino...you destroyed so much happiness to achieve it"
[21:42] "Hey, this world is just one possibility, and, to be honest, I'm not all too happy with it."
[21:43] Again I say nothing as the snake moves to look me in the face, an inhuman and unrecognizable language whispering out without it even moving its mouth
[21:46] "Hmm? Could you say that again, in English, this time?"
[21:48] The snake's head snaps round and slowly drifts towards you, leaving its long neck circling behind it "I don’t see why i should repeat the words of Darkness to someone like you". Still Conjack isn’t moving
[21:49] "Well. You know, this doesn't have to happen, for you."
[21:51] The snake tilts its heads slightly whilst Conjack stands and rests his hand upon the undug grave, his eyes still not looking at Domino "Why are you here" He says, his voice slow and strained but filled with anger "What more can you take from me? How can you possible bring me any lower?"
[21:55] "I have taken nothing from you. Everything you had, you still have. You can still save all of this time's dead, even. I mean, it's unlikely, but possible."
[21:57] "There is no Darkness in this world" The snake snarls whilst conjack's grip tightens on the grave as he finally looks at you, his eyes glowing a powerful blue "No Darkness and no light...just hollow extinction. This is what you have fought to gain...why would you now offer a chance for it to be stopped?"
[21:58] "Because I'm bored. This world sucks, there's no challenge. There wasn't even any challenge in beating down those 'UN' guys. Now, do you see my predicament?"
[22:00] The snake seems to grin as if it agrees but Conjack is simply staring at you, his eyes glowing brighter as his hand slips from the grave
[22:02] "Why should I even think of trusting you?"
[22:04] "You shouldn't, but it's that, or stay here for the rest of eternity."
[22:06] Again the snakes hiss in their unknown language to Conjack as he walks towards you, a black shadow that allways seems to block the graves behind him from sight "What’s the catch?"
[22:06] "No catch. I just want you to survive the first battle, is all."
[22:08] "Oh I will" The snakes snarl in unison "And I will bath the academy in the blood of your infernal circle! This is no world of Darkness...it is pointless. Nothing can live whilst all life has been destroyed. A life with nothing for corruption is pointless"
[22:09] "Very well, then. When do you want to be?"
[22:10] "Where I am needed. Where I can fight to protect those I care for and where I can shatter the very foundations of this world before they are even founded"
[22:13] "Ok, so, the day before the first attack, about one in the afternoon. Sound good?"
[22:15] I simply nod, whilst the snakes snarl at something. "You will take me before any more deaths happen?"
[22:16] "Sí. Now, then. Gimme a sec to sort it out."
[22:17] The snakes withdraw, hovering around COnjack's head and whispering in their language whilst he simply turns back around to look at the three graves
[22:22] He begins to chant in an ancient language, moving his hands in an intricate fashion. Once he finishes, about 30 seconds later, his hand begin to glow bright white, and he slaps them into you. The world goes white, and, once it fades back in, you are in Mahora High School courtyard, at exactly one in the afternoon.
[22:24] I take a step back, staring with a strange expression at the acadamy around me whilst the snakes simply stair at Domino
[22:25] "Have a good day!" He says, before teleporting out.
[22:26] I watch him go before the snakes vanish into my shoulders and i burst into a run, heading to the place I have to see back intact...

[21:30] Last session, you were teleported deep into a mysterious place, seemingly a massive hive, with Nodoka and Domino in tow. Domino preceeded to take her crstal, before leaving, leaving her lying unconcious on the floor.
[21:31] i twitch and walk over to her collapsing on the ground and revert back to Human form
[21:31] "More horrific then i remember" i sigh and crawl over to nodoka
[21:36] "Nodoka are you ok?"
[21:37] She stirs slightly, but doesn't move. Her breathing is shallow, and erratic.
[21:37] “damn”
[21:38] i pick up nodoka and carry her on my back
[21:42] and walk slowly to the exit to my left
[21:43] As you approach the exit, you hear a slight commotion behind the door.
[21:43] i look slight around not wanting to be seen
[21:45] You cannot see anyone behind the door, however, there is a balcony overlooking a huge room that has been decorated with banners reading "Welcome back!!!"
[21:46] i crouch and go throught the door leaning Nodoka on the inside wall and crawl to the edge of the balcony
[21:47] You can see Ruina, Sandalphon, and Valetudo down there, seemingly preparing for a party, of sorts.
[21:48] i hold my breath and try to listen in on what they are saying
[21:50] They appear to be excited about the arrival of "the real eigth member"
[21:51] "Real eigth member?" i whisper and move away from it and huddle over Nodoka "Wake up" i whisper nudging her slightly
[21:51] She stirs again, but still doesn't wake.
[21:53] "damn" i mutter , and i go back to the edge in the same postion
[21:57] An unusual, yet familiar sound starts to fill the room. The sound of a teleport gate powering up. As it powers up, Valetudo squeals, Ruina cheers, and Sandalphon merely smiles, and utters "He's here."
[21:59] my eyes wander over to the gate and stay transfixed on it
[22:01] As you stare at it, four men in Nazi uniforms walk out of it, in formation. Following them is a diminuitive man in metalic armor, an oversized unusual helmet covered in upward spikes, and a long cloak. As he exits the portal, Valetudo squeals again, and runs over to him, embracing him. "It's good to see you again!"
[22:03] The diminuitive man hugs her back, but says nothing. Ruina smiles and puts her hands on her hips. "Well, you look better. New armor."
[22:03] "were have i...." i shake my head and carry on listening
[22:05] The man shakes his head, and motions towards a door, walking towards it. Ruina and Sandalphon sigh, and cast glances at each other before following him. The men in Nazi uniforms follow as well, with Valetudo just behind them.
[22:06] as they leave the room i run quietly to Nodoka and try and wake her again
[22:07] This time she stirs, and starts to show signs of motion, but still returns to her unconciousness. Her skin is beginning to feel cold.
[22:10] "damn" i mutter and give her my jacket and shirt "right that should help, we need to get you too Konoka" i put her on my back again and jump off the balcony Gliding down slowly
[22:12] As you land on the floor, you make a rather loud noise, but noone seems to notice. The teleport gate seems to be powering down.
[22:14] I run, forgetting about the noise, and jump for the teleport
[22:17] You don't quite get there, smashing your face against a wall. Thankfully, no one still seems to hear you.
[22:19] "Damn it" i mumble gotta stop doing that because of her i frown "ok then, that’s the only way out" and i walk toward the door the others walked through
[22:21] "wait a mo" i stop and turn seeing that it is still on i walk back over and place Nodoka back on the Teleporter
[22:22] i pull a small earpiece out of the jacket pocket that Nodoka has and turn it on
[22:24] "Come on pi....."
[22:25] The earpiece suddenly crackles into life, "Yeah?" It's Alex, from Trinity.
[22:26] "Great i need help, i am in Hostile base and the only way out is a teleporter" i say quickly” i need help turning it on"
[22:26] "Ok, then. Where do you wanna go?"
[22:26] "Oh, and what model?"
[22:26] "erm" i quickly look around
[22:29] "I can't tell, there’s nothing here! I just wanna get back to the academy as soon as"
[22:31] "Goddamn it, you're impatient. Ok, then. From where you are.... carry the i... divide by 0.... Ok, put the following into the coordinates section and hit the 'on' switch: TT019347724HH66613379001KKXNTRM. If it's a gate, set it for about 15 seconds. Got that?"
[22:33] "Ok thanks, wait! sand me a Popou fru......" the device switches off and i run to the gate controls and type in everything Alex told me
[22:34] As you do, the gate powers up, making a faint humming noise.
[22:34] "Shit" i run to the gate and grab Nodoka and run through it
[22:36] as you jump through, the world goes white, before fading in. You are stood outside a cottage, with Conjack, and Hrar, carrying Konoka, running towards you.

I will release the fluff of Conjack's time in that hell either today or tm

Oh, sweet. I'm gonna keep thinking of strategies and traps we can pull. I've got a nice one sorted, but it requires a few spells. Specifically, Time Out and fireball. Anyone not being used that can handle that?

Plan is simple. Cast Time Out, then cast a shitload of 1 point fireballs, which they should be casting for free. They have as much time as they need inside, so let's tell them to cast for 5 days. Rate of 1/second, let's say 8 hours sleep and eating a day. So, we're on 60*60*16*5=288000 dice of damage spewed out from this caster at once, outside perspective. That's what we in the business call a trap. Once there's enough damage readied, the caster need only touch the edge of it. If we want to be a bitch, have some other spells in there too, and maybe put a few riflemen with a cornucopia inside? Have it always contain a rocket or an armour piercing bullet, and then go! Fun times.

Well, there is one major problem with that tactic: the damage from each fireball is taken seperately. Meaning DR multiplied by how many attacks there are. Meaning LOTS of DR. I mean, LOTS. Like, 2880000 total.

True, but it'll get rid of the bugs. Not to mention that clothes take very few points to set alight, so anyone with flammable armour is doomed. Also, some will crit, and of those, some will get "ignores DR".

Hardened Force Feild. Ignores DR? Burning clothes? Yeah, no. Of course, this IS Zanton, so... yeah. Don't fight him. Ever. Also, the bugs are technically summons.

Eh, not too fussed. I'm working more on ideas that can challenge a normal player, or possibly even a high powered one. I never really liked the genre of stupidly powerful things fighting each other with more and more advantages. I much prefer it when the players are fighting, for want of a better word, CR appropriate foes. Though I must admit, it does have a certain charm.

Also, "ignores DR" != "armour divisor infinity". Ignores DR means just that.
