Dec 17 21:03:37 <Sax> Harley's rapidly pacing around in the briefing office.
Dec 17 21:04:09 <Balthazaar> Sabina doops in. Due to the attention she's had so far today, she's looking pretty stunning
Dec 17 21:04:37 <Sax> Harley nods to Sabina.
Dec 17 21:04:52 <DrSavage> Randall enters quickly.
Dec 17 21:04:55 <Balthazaar> "Hello…"
Dec 17 21:05:25 <Sax> "Good evening."
Dec 17 21:05:28 <Sax> "Please, have a seat."
Dec 17 21:05:39 <DrSavage> "Sabina. Harley." Randall sits and still towers.
Dec 17 21:05:52 * DrScottJonas (~PI.96947E52.1B33569B.B0CA2693|71tahCdnA#PI.96947E52.1B33569B.B0CA2693|71tahCdnA) has joined
Dec 17 21:06:02 <DrScottJonas> Andy enters the room!
Dec 17 21:06:04 <Sax> Harley hands out papers to all present.
Dec 17 21:06:16 <Sax> "Alright, so we got a rather fun one for you guys."
Dec 17 21:06:32 <Balthazaar> Sabina sits and looks over the papers
Dec 17 21:07:11 <Sax> "Recently, field recon's gotten word of a rather sizeable threat in Virginia."
Dec 17 21:07:32 <DrScottJonas> "Of what nature?"
Dec 17 21:07:49 <Sax> "Magical."
Dec 17 21:07:53 <Sax> "And, of course, hostile."
Dec 17 21:08:02 <DrScottJonas> "I see."
Dec 17 21:08:07 <Sax> "Your job, is to intercept the threat, and corral them."
Dec 17 21:08:32 <Sax> He lays out a map.
Dec 17 21:08:38 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at the map
Dec 17 21:08:47 <DrSavage> "What sort of hostiles?" Map is observed.
Dec 17 21:09:37 <Sax> "Two heavily-armed squads will be south of Palmyra, with reinforcement in Charlottesville."
Dec 17 21:09:44 <Sax> "Called an Iridian Minuteman."
Dec 17 21:10:08 <Balthazaar> "Eardan minuteman? Sabinas accent /mangles/ that
Dec 17 21:10:14 <DrSavage> Does Randall recognize said name?
Dec 17 21:10:27 <Sax> Randall, ACAD.
Dec 17 21:10:45 <DrSavage> 4d+3
Dec 17 21:10:51 <Sax> "Think magic Nazis with power that could melt through tanks."
Dec 17 21:11:26 <DrScottJonas> "Well, do they have any weaknesses?"
Dec 17 21:11:36 <Sax> "Anti-magic seems to work exceptionally well."
Dec 17 21:11:41 <Sax> "Otherwise, concentrated heavy fire."
Dec 17 21:11:50 <DrSavage> 4df+3
Dec 17 21:11:50 <Glacon> DrSavage: 5 (4df+3=0, +, 0, +)
Dec 17 21:12:27 <Sax> Randall, you have seen that name in some of the Foundation archives, but nothing immediately comes to mind.
Dec 17 21:12:39 <Sax> Other than potent arcane force.
Dec 17 21:12:55 <DrSavage> "The Foundation has dealt with this creature before."
Dec 17 21:12:59 <Balthazaar> Sabina goes pale
Dec 17 21:13:06 <Balthazaar> "N-nazis?"
Dec 17 21:13:37 <Sax> "Not necessarily a creature, Doctor Clymer."
Dec 17 21:13:40 <DrScottJonas> "I don't think they mean actual nazis?"
Dec 17 21:13:43 <Sax> "And not actually a Nazi."
Dec 17 21:13:50 <DrSavage> "Hmmm…"
Dec 17 21:13:53 <Sax> "But they do copy the look rather well."
Dec 17 21:14:16 <DrScottJonas> Andy nods
Dec 17 21:14:47 <Sax> "That being said, you may requisition any tool that you feel you see fit for your mission."
Dec 17 21:14:52 <DrSavage> Randall touches Wills sword and then Adrian's guns. "Has contact or communication been attempted?"
Dec 17 21:15:06 <Sax> "First contact resulted in two causalties."
Dec 17 21:15:28 <Sax> "Command fears that the Minuteman is moving towards Charlottesville."
Dec 17 21:15:33 <DrScottJonas> "Well, you got anything anti-magic in store?"
Dec 17 21:15:37 <DrScottJonas> *storage
Dec 17 21:15:51 <Sax> "… as far as I know, nothing."
Dec 17 21:16:15 <Sax> "However, sufficient heavy firepower is enough to wear down their reserves and destroy them."
Dec 17 21:16:35 <Balthazaar> "I won't have to hurt people, will I?"
Dec 17 21:16:41 <Sax> "No, you will not."
Dec 17 21:16:44 <DrScottJonas> "Alright, what do you have in that category?"
Dec 17 21:17:41 <Sax> "A new shipment of FALs."
Dec 17 21:17:49 <Sax> "As well as a few T-44s that are on loan."
Dec 17 21:17:55 <Balthazaar> She smiles
Dec 17 21:18:04 <DrSavage> Randall puts both sets of weapons on the table.
Dec 17 21:18:14 <DrScottJonas> "Alright, I can work with that."
Dec 17 21:18:25 <DrSavage> "Adrian's antimagic Singers and the anti-magic claymore."
Dec 17 21:18:35 <Sax> "…"
Dec 17 21:18:37 <Sax> Harley sighs.
Dec 17 21:18:39 <Sax> "I need your job."
Dec 17 21:18:49 <DrSavage> "Hmmm?"
Dec 17 21:18:54 <Sax> "Any other questions before we go?"
Dec 17 21:19:05 <DrScottJonas> "Hey, could I borrow that sword, Randall?"
Dec 17 21:19:29 <DrSavage> "How proficient are you?"
Dec 17 21:19:41 <Balthazaar> "Is it scary there?"
Dec 17 21:19:49 <Sax> "It is not scary."
Dec 17 21:19:57 <DrScottJonas> "I'm pretty good."
Dec 17 21:20:02 <Sax> "Virginia is a rather nice place."
Dec 17 21:20:06 <Sax> "You will do fine, agent."
Dec 17 21:20:13 <DrSavage> "I am ready."
Dec 17 21:20:38 <Sax> "Your vehicle is waiting in motorbay 1."
Dec 17 21:20:55 <DrSavage> "I will need it back, Andrew." He pushes the blade to Andy.
Dec 17 21:21:17 <DrSavage> He puts the pistols back in his holsters.
Dec 17 21:21:31 <DrScottJonas> Andy picks it up. "Understood." He says, heading off to motorbay 1 with it
Dec 17 21:21:50 <Balthazaar> Sabina nods, looking relieved
Dec 17 21:22:02 <Balthazaar> She looks at her little pistol
Dec 17 21:22:07 <DrSavage> Randall follows after.
Dec 17 21:22:26 <Sax> In the motorbay, the vehicle is idling."
Dec 17 21:22:40 <Balthazaar> Sabina sticks near the giant
Dec 17 21:22:41 <DrScottJonas> Is there a driver?
Dec 17 21:22:59 <Balthazaar> "Is this in shooting mode?" She points the gun at Randall to show him
Dec 17 21:23:14 <Sax> There is a driver.
Dec 17 21:23:24 <Sax> He's sitting and waiting, smoking a cigar.
Dec 17 21:23:42 <DrScottJonas> Andy nods to the driver, and gets in the passenger's seat
Dec 17 21:23:46 <DrSavage> "Do not point that at someone unless you intend to shoot." He aims the barrel at the ground and checks the safety.
Dec 17 21:24:16 <Sax> The driver nods back.
Dec 17 21:24:23 <Sax> "Small group today?"
Dec 17 21:24:33 <DrScottJonas> "Looks like it."
Dec 17 21:24:53 <Balthazaar> It's off!
Dec 17 21:25:04 <Balthazaar> Sabina clambers in. "Oh! Sorry!"
Dec 17 21:25:04 <Sax> "Eh… less people to screw things up."
Dec 17 21:25:14 <Sax> The driver revs up the truck.
Dec 17 21:25:17 <Sax> In the back are supplies.
Dec 17 21:25:31 <Sax> Some satchels of basics, like food and survival supplies.
Dec 17 21:26:39 <Sax> Andy, in a crate are the aforementioned weapons, with ammunition.
Dec 17 21:27:04 <DrSavage> "Learning, Sabina." He will demonstrate changing it to safety and back again.
Dec 17 21:27:17 <Balthazaar> She nods
Dec 17 21:27:18 <Sax> The truck chugs along!
Dec 17 21:27:21 <Balthazaar> Looking nervous
Dec 17 21:27:22 <DrScottJonas> He notes this, though he's pretty sure the sword will be more useful for him
Dec 17 21:27:23 <Sax> d10 Driving quality
Dec 17 21:27:24 <Glacon> Sax: Driving quality: 4 (d10=4)
Dec 17 21:27:48 <Sax> It's a bumpier than usual ride.
Dec 17 21:27:52 <Sax> But nothing out of the ordinary.
Dec 17 21:28:46 <DrSavage> "Sabina, be calm."
Dec 17 21:29:03 <DrScottJonas> Andy relaxes a bit, leaning back in his seat
Dec 17 21:29:48 <Sax> Eventually, after an hour, you arrive.
Dec 17 21:30:06 <Balthazaar> "I don't wanna get in fights…"
Dec 17 21:30:06 <Sax> Wildwood, Virginia.
Dec 17 21:30:14 <Sax> "Welcome to Virginia."
Dec 17 21:30:34 <Sax> "Enjoy the trip, and radio in if you need anything."
Dec 17 21:30:42 <Balthazaar> "Okay."
Dec 17 21:30:44 <DrScottJonas> "Alright."
Dec 17 21:30:51 <DrSavage> "You'll be alright. And yes."
Dec 17 21:32:14 <Sax> It's a quiet night, and you are all along a trail.
Dec 17 21:32:22 <Sax> A few hoots from owls, and crickets.
Dec 17 21:32:27 <Sax> And the occasional scuttling.
Dec 17 21:32:31 <DrScottJonas> Andy enjoys the night

Dec 17 21:36:14 <Glacon> DrSavage: 10 (4df+7=+, +, 0, +)
Dec 17 21:37:25 <DrScottJonas> Andy focuses on the footsteps, trying to figure out where they're from
Dec 17 21:37:34 <Balthazaar> Sabina inspects her nails
Dec 17 21:37:44 <Sax> Randall, you hear footsteps as well.
Dec 17 21:37:47 <Sax> Two sets of feet.
Dec 17 21:37:57 <Sax> Right around a large bush.
Dec 17 21:38:24 <DrSavage> Randall looks to the bush. "Show yourself." Hand on a Singer.
Dec 17 21:38:43 <DrScottJonas> Andy draws the sword, following suit
Dec 17 21:38:49 <Sax> "Eh?"
Dec 17 21:38:55 <Sax> A guy and a girl come out.
Dec 17 21:39:02 <Sax> "WOAH, HOLD UP."
Dec 17 21:39:12 <Sax> THe guy staggers back, but the girl bolts!
Dec 17 21:39:30 <DrSavage> "Stop right there!"
Dec 17 21:39:48 <Sax> She doesn't stop!
Dec 17 21:39:56 <Sax> Holding a gun doesn't seem to make her want to stop!
Dec 17 21:40:24 <DrScottJonas> Andy focuses on the guy who isn't running.
Dec 17 21:40:29 <DrSavage> Randall takes his hand off the gun. "No weapon. Come back, we only wish to talk!"
Dec 17 21:40:38 <Sax> Randall, she's long gone.
Dec 17 21:40:45 <Sax> Andy, the guy fully shat himself.
Dec 17 21:40:55 <Sax> "… we're getting robbed, aren't we…"
Dec 17 21:41:03 <Balthazaar> Sabina blinks
Dec 17 21:41:06 <DrScottJonas> "Shit, uh, no, you aren't."
Dec 17 21:41:24 <DrSavage> "Who are you? Why are you here?"
Dec 17 21:41:36 <Sax> "We're just hiking!"
Dec 17 21:41:42 <DrScottJonas> Andy radios in «Hey, we just ran into some hikers, and we might need amnestetics»
Dec 17 21:41:54 <Sax> "Better question, who the fuck are you, toting swords and guns and-"
Dec 17 21:42:08 <Sax> You all hear a piercing scream a little while away, where the girl ran off to.
Dec 17 21:42:37 <DrSavage> "Damn it…" Randall heads toward the scream.
Dec 17 21:42:58 <DrScottJonas> Andy follows Randall!
Dec 17 21:43:44 <Sax> The other guy simply passes out.
Dec 17 21:43:46 <Sax> Welp.
Dec 17 21:44:38 <Balthazaar> "Poor people…"
Dec 17 21:44:47 <Balthazaar> O,O
Dec 17 21:44:56 <Balthazaar> Sabina sprints in the direction of the scream

Dec 17 21:46:53 * GreenWolf is now known as SleepWolf
Dec 17 21:47:01 <Sax> Randall, the girl who previously ran away from you flies back towards you.
Dec 17 21:47:08 <Sax> And lands in an ungraceful position short of you.
Dec 17 21:47:33 <DrSavage> Randall looks in the direction she flew from.
Dec 17 21:47:50 <Sax> It's the Minuteman.
Dec 17 21:48:03 <Sax> All dressed in long jacket, and carrying an ethereal blade.
Dec 17 21:49:07 <DrSavage> "Minuteman. Sabina, check if she's alive."
Dec 17 21:49:10 <Sax> It looks at you, Randall.
Dec 17 21:49:18 <Sax> And begins charging up a blast.
Dec 17 21:49:44 <DrSavage> Randall will open fire /immediately/.
Dec 17 21:49:56 <DrScottJonas> Andy decides to run at the Minuteman, but from an angle, not charging right at it
Dec 17 21:50:05 <Balthazaar> Sabina looks lost, she tries to check on the girl
Dec 17 21:50:32 <Sax> Sabina, medical.
Dec 17 21:50:44 <Sax> Randall, you fire, but the Minuteman's just a bit faster.
Dec 17 21:50:58 <DrSavage> Fudge.
Dec 17 21:50:58 <Sax> Andy, the Minuteman points the blade right at you.
Dec 17 21:51:18 <Sax> Pause.
Dec 17 21:51:18 <DrScottJonas> Agi to get out of the way?
Dec 17 21:52:23 <Sax> Not needed.
Dec 17 21:52:41 <Sax> Andy, someone jumps in front of you.
Dec 17 21:52:51 <Sax> And the Minuteman… well, not really a Minuteman anymore.
Dec 17 21:54:09 <Sax> The figure makes two deft cuts and the Minuteman… is effectively sawn to pieces.
Dec 17 21:54:28 <Sax> The figure sheathes its blade, before looking at all of you.
Dec 17 21:54:30 <Sax> "Who are you?"
Dec 17 21:54:49 <DrScottJonas> "Who are you?"
Dec 17 21:54:49 <Balthazaar> Sabina looks horrified
Dec 17 21:56:03 <Sax> The figure paces around you, Andy.
Dec 17 21:56:17 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at it, pretty unfazed
Dec 17 21:56:18 <Sax> Perception, Academics, or Science.
Dec 17 21:56:57 <DrScottJonas> 4df+4 SCI For a moment, science is useful
Dec 17 21:56:57 <Glacon> DrScottJonas: SCI For a moment, science is useful: 4 (4df+4=-, +, +, -)
Dec 17 21:57:29 <Sax> Well, what you can tell is that his stance is… very fluid.
Dec 17 21:57:36 <Sax> But that he's not all… fleshy.
Dec 17 21:57:42 <Sax> You can see mechanical components here and there.
Dec 17 21:57:52 <Sax> As well as a dull glow that emanates around him.
Dec 17 21:58:11 <DrSavage> "Randall Clymer."
Dec 17 21:58:40 <Sax> "Your name means nothing to me."
Dec 17 21:59:07 <Sax> "Who do you work for?"
Dec 17 21:59:49 <DrScottJonas> "Why do you want to know?"
Dec 17 22:00:24 <Balthazaar> Sabina stares, ghostly pale and horrified by the violence before her
Dec 17 22:00:28 <Sax> "I am not making a negotiatble request."
Dec 17 22:01:38 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at Randall
Dec 17 22:01:42 <Sax> He begins to extend his blade again.
Dec 17 22:02:09 <DrSavage> "The Foundation. We were brought here to stop the Minuteman."
Dec 17 22:03:00 <Sax> "Jailers."
Dec 17 22:03:25 <Sax> "Anti-magic swords and bullets? What a farce…"
Dec 17 22:03:31 <Sax> Randall, he's glaring at you.
Dec 17 22:03:34 <Sax> "Where did you get that gun?"
Dec 17 22:04:25 <Balthazaar> Sabina just looks scared
Dec 17 22:04:49 <Sax> Sabina, perception.
Dec 17 22:05:05 <Balthazaar> She doesn't know what she's doing, she doesn't like seeing people get chopped up, and she doesn't want to end up the same way

Dec 17 22:05:08 <Glacon> Balthazaar: 2 (4df+4=-, -, -, +)
Dec 17 22:06:01 <Sax> Sabina, the fear is getting the better of you… but did those two rocks just move?
Dec 17 22:06:15 <DrSavage> "Behind me, Sabina. Adrian Coxwell, a traitor, had them. He died and they were given to me as a token…"
Dec 17 22:06:28 <Sax> "… you will be worth capturing."
Dec 17 22:06:45 <Sax> The sword glows with a purple hue as the man brings up a fighting stance.
Dec 17 22:07:08 <DrSavage> "We don't need this to end in conflict. Put your weapon away."
Dec 17 22:07:26 <Sax> "You murdered a person that was needed."
Dec 17 22:07:57 <Sax> "Why else would you keep his weapons? As a trophy."
Dec 17 22:08:29 <Sax> "… you are the abnormal one of the crowd. I shall deal with you first."
Dec 17 22:08:41 <Sax> His hands glow with runes.

Dec 17 22:13:08 <Sax> What will Sabina do?
Dec 17 22:14:26 <DrSavage> "I wanted to save him, I did not wish him to die! Adrian was my friend! I keep his weapons to combat those that would wish to harm the world instead of coexist!"

Dec 17 22:23:09 <Balthazaar> "Andy! What do I do!?"
Dec 17 22:23:15 <Balthazaar> She's on the verge of panic
Dec 17 22:23:34 <DrScottJonas> "God DAMMIT. Oh, uh, try to help Randall, I guess?"
Dec 17 22:23:44 <Sax> Andy, he comes close, his blade ready to cut you into pieces.
Dec 17 22:23:45 <DrSavage> "Sabina, be calm!"
Dec 17 22:24:01 <Sax> "Foolish puppet of meat… I shall sever your strings-"
Dec 17 22:24:06 <Sax> He stops short of you, Andy.
Dec 17 22:24:19 <Balthazaar> Sabina scurries to Randall
Dec 17 22:24:24 <DrScottJonas> "Yeah yeah, fuck you too, buddy."
Dec 17 22:24:47 <DrSavage> Randall looks on, defensive.
Dec 17 22:25:20 <Sax> He suddenly teleports away, a few ghostly runes left to mark his presence.
Dec 17 22:25:44 <Sax> Sabina, one of those rocks begins to scuttle away.
Dec 17 22:25:53 <Sax> And the second rock comes towards you.
Dec 17 22:26:00 <Balthazaar> She squeaks in fright. "I /told/ you it moved!"
Dec 17 22:26:06 <DrSavage> Randall looks to the Fallen Minuteman.
Dec 17 22:26:14 <Balthazaar> "No! Stop!" She shouts at the rock
Dec 17 22:26:19 <DrScottJonas> Is Andy still paralyzed?
Dec 17 22:27:14 <Sax> Andy, the chains snap and disperse.
Dec 17 22:27:25 <Sax> The rock continues to move towards you, Sabina.
Dec 17 22:27:37 <Balthazaar> Sabina starts to back up
Dec 17 22:27:40 <DrScottJonas> Andy quickly gets up, and looks over at the rock
Dec 17 22:27:49 <DrSavage> Randall will step in the way once he sees it.
Dec 17 22:27:59 <Sax> The rock stops at your foot, Randall.
Dec 17 22:28:17 <Sax> 4df+5 Then a claw comes out and attempts to eat your foot

Dec 17 22:44:38 <Sax> Randy, you chip a tiny bit more away.
Dec 17 22:44:46 <Sax> But Randall, you shot the poor thing's core.
Dec 17 22:45:01 <Sax> It explodes.
Dec 17 22:46:00 <DrSavage> Randall looks to it and sighs. "What is going on here?"
Dec 17 22:46:23 <DrScottJonas> "Weird shit."
Dec 17 22:47:23 <Sax> Andy, engineering.
Dec 17 22:47:29 <Sax> To determine what is is/was.
Dec 17 22:47:35 <Sax> Before Randall sent it to kingdom come.
Dec 17 22:47:43 <DrScottJonas> Any electronic components?
Dec 17 22:48:17 <DrSavage> "I didn't mean to destroy it but…"

Dec 17 22:50:03 <Sax> There's a bit of electricals here and there.
Dec 17 22:50:06 <Sax> Mostly magic, though.
Dec 17 22:50:09 <Sax> One of the cores is intact.
Dec 17 22:50:17 * Talonair has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity)
Dec 17 22:51:26 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at the core. Does it seem to be safe to touch
Dec 17 22:51:34 <DrScottJonas> *?
Dec 17 22:52:23 <Sax> It does.
Dec 17 22:52:46 <DrScottJonas> Then he picks it up?

Dec 17 22:53:02 <Balthazaar> "S… We go get the minutemen?"
Dec 17 22:53:15 <Sax> Sabina, the Minuteman is in pieces not too far away from you.
Dec 17 22:53:22 <Sax> The humans are still alive.
Dec 17 22:54:07 <DrScottJonas> Andy inspects the core.

Dec 17 23:01:21 <DrSavage> Randall sprints over."halt!"
Dec 17 23:01:34 <Balthazaar> Sabina does
Dec 17 23:03:05 <Sax> The robots ignore you.
Dec 17 23:03:21 <Sax> One robot, however, flies back towards you, split cleanly in half.
Dec 17 23:04:30 <DrSavage> Randall looks to the source.
Dec 17 23:04:31 <Balthazaar> Sabina squeaks
Dec 17 23:04:39 <Sax> Randall, the same figure as before.
Dec 17 23:04:49 <Sax> However, behind him is a little girl, no more older than 16.
Dec 17 23:04:55 <Sax> Academics.
Dec 17 23:06:31 <DrScottJonas> Everyone?
Dec 17 23:06:41 <Balthazaar> Sabina immediately puts her gun away

Dec 17 23:09:18 <Sax> And they are all converging on the man with the blade.
Dec 17 23:09:39 <DrScottJonas> "Should we let the magic asshole deal with them, or what?"

Dec 17 23:15:56 <DrSavage> Randall looks on and thinks.
Dec 17 23:16:24 <DrScottJonas> Andy just stands back in the meantime
Dec 17 23:17:53 <Sax> The last drone falls, its corpse thrown away like a garbage bag.
Dec 17 23:17:58 <Sax> The man finally levels his blade at you.

Dec 17 23:18:33 <DrSavage> What'd his academic turn up
Dec 17 23:19:13 <Sax> Randall
Dec 17 23:19:17 <Sax> They're Elorean nobles.
Dec 17 23:19:19 <Balthazaar> "Y-yes…"
Dec 17 23:19:23 <Sax> One of whom is a Grandmaster.
Dec 17 23:19:26 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at the guy. "You know, no one likes a racist, or speciest at least."
Dec 17 23:19:30 <Balthazaar> She looks around for where the voice in her head came from
Dec 17 23:19:31 <Sax> The other… a really high ranking noble.
Dec 17 23:19:41 <DrSavage> "Elorean nobles."
Dec 17 23:19:53 <Sax> The girl looks from behind the man at you, Randall.
Dec 17 23:19:57 <Sax> "You know of us?"
Dec 17 23:20:13 <Sax> Andy, the man is charging his blade again, and it is aimed at you.
Dec 17 23:20:29 <DrSavage> "I know about you. I was told to protect the Princess."

Dec 17 23:21:49 <Sax> "Douglas, stand down. They won't hurt us."
Dec 17 23:22:10 <Sax> At that command, the blade discharges and fizzles out, and the man sheathes his blade.
Dec 17 23:22:21 <DrSavage> Randall offers a hand. "Randall Clymer."
Dec 17 23:23:08 <DrScottJonas> Andy just looks at all of them. He lowers the sword, but he doesn't have any intentions of approaching them
Dec 17 23:23:47 <Sax> Randall, the man steps in front of you.
Dec 17 23:23:49 <Sax> "Kneel."
Dec 17 23:24:41 <DrSavage> Randall kneels, though is still giant.

Dec 17 23:27:04 <DrSavage> Randall nods.
Dec 17 23:28:15 <Sax> "We are on the run, due to events outside of our influence."
Dec 17 23:28:58 <DrScottJonas> (("Hey, we're also on a run!"))
Dec 17 23:29:32 <DrSavage> "I have been briefed. I have promised to protect you."
Dec 17 23:30:22 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at all of this, mostly confused
Dec 17 23:30:51 <Sax> "… why should I trust you, Scion of Leviathan?"
Dec 17 23:32:38 <DrSavage> "Because Zhyr trusted me enough to help me cure the Ferrous Virus. And to find you."
Dec 17 23:33:13 <DrSavage> "If that isn't enough." Randall extends his tentacles. "I am not human."
Dec 17 23:33:27 <Sax> Douglas steps in-between you and Stella, Randall.
Dec 17 23:33:56 <Sax> "All the more reason to not trust you."
Dec 17 23:34:10 <Sax> "You claim to help us, but then place a dagger in your back."
Dec 17 23:34:16 <Sax> Douglas looks rather stern.
Dec 17 23:36:54 <DrSavage> "I did not shoot you nor her. I had several opportunities."
Dec 17 23:37:11 <Sax> "Like that weapon could harm me."
Dec 17 23:37:32 <Sax> douglas turns to Stella.
Dec 17 23:37:47 <Sax> "My lady, are you sure about trusting the Jailers?"
Dec 17 23:37:47 <DrScottJonas> "I mean, for what it's worth, he didn't try to shoot you."
Dec 17 23:37:47 <DrSavage> "I did not antagonize you. And if you know anything about the Athiak, you know it is a Healer." Randall stands.
Dec 17 23:38:11 <Sax> Randall, Douglas stands to match your height.
Dec 17 23:38:21 <Sax> "Your kind are all the same. Tainted by their humanity."
Dec 17 23:39:28 <DrSavage> "You think so, Douglas? Not a name of Elorean origin. Very….human."
Dec 17 23:40:17 <Sax> "Enough." Stella stands firm.
Dec 17 23:40:30 <Sax> "Douglas, I am sure to trust these… people."
Dec 17 23:40:53 <Sax> "however, if they do betray my trust, I am more than happy to allow you to berate my immaturity… after you kill them."
Dec 17 23:42:02 <DrSavage> "I have no reason to betray your trust."
Dec 17 23:42:26 <Sax> "We shall find out."
Dec 17 23:42:47 <Sax> "It is late for a lady to be out without a place to stay… may I accompany both of you back to your base?"
Dec 17 23:43:42 <DrScottJonas> Andy looks at Randall, shrugging
Dec 17 23:47:33 <Sax> She looks to you, Andy.
Dec 17 23:47:39 <Sax> "Would you allow me to come back with you?"
Dec 17 23:47:51 <DrScottJonas> "I mean, sure, I guess."
Dec 17 23:48:19 <DrSavage> Randall nods.
Dec 17 23:48:40 <Sax> "Very well, it is settled."
Dec 17 23:48:44 <Sax> She curtsies.
Dec 17 23:48:49 <DrSavage> "Radio it in, Andrew. And the blade, if you please."
Dec 17 23:49:04 <Sax> "Douglas, please do apologize for inconveniencing them."
Dec 17 23:49:38 <DrScottJonas> «Alright, we're taking an Eloran Grand Princess back with us, named Stella Kal, over»
