Spiderventures

[00:29:21] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi steps into the forest, crossbow in hand and a bag of the bolts around his shoulder.
[00:29:38] <Wogglebug> Somewhere far away, int he dark, a spider scurries.
[00:29:55] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi keeps walking.
[00:29:58] <Wogglebug> Roll perception.
[00:30:03] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[00:30:08] <ZombieRaptor> Glacon is dead
[00:30:15] <Wogglebug> I'll roll it.
[00:30:28] <ZombieRaptor> (With CROM?)
[00:30:42] <Wogglebug> 2 (--00)
[00:31:00] <Wogglebug> You notice nothing in particular. It's getting quite dark.
[00:31:40] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi pulls out his flashlight.
[00:31:46] * Nemi has joined #tooltime
[00:32:14] <Wogglebug> Does he turn the flashlight on?
[00:32:25] <ZombieRaptor> Obviously he does.
[00:32:37] <Wogglebug> Then what?
[00:32:52] <ZombieRaptor> He looks around while continuing to walk.
[00:35:01] <Wogglebug> Roll pereception.
[00:35:02] <ZombieRaptor> Sweeping the beam over the trees and ground.
[00:35:02] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4 The king is toten
[00:35:02] <Wogglebug> 4 (+0-0)
[00:35:31] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi walks towards it slowly, watching out for webs or to see if it's a web.
[00:35:47] <Wogglebug> As you get closer, you see….
[00:35:56] <Wogglebug> Well, you're not entirely sure what you see.
[00:36:11] * Riemann has joined #tooltime
[00:36:15] <Wogglebug> You /could/ say it's a web, but something makes you feel like that just isn't accurate.
[00:36:24] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi frowns.
[00:36:27] <Wogglebug> Something in the way the lines shimmer.
[00:36:35] <Wogglebug> The way it seems very /weighty/.
[00:36:40] <ZombieRaptor> What does he see off about it?
[00:36:47] <Wogglebug> Like the air around it is petrified.
[00:37:22] <Wogglebug> If you have knowledge (anomalous or occult), you can roll it.
[00:37:29] * Riemann is now known as HeadlessRiemann
[00:37:53] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi does not.
[00:38:15] <Wogglebug> Choose an action., then.
[00:39:16] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi grabs a nearby stick, he cautiously taps the web with it.
[00:39:54] * HeadlessRiemann is now known as HeadlessHorseHeadlessRiemann
[00:40:45] * HeadlessHorseHeadlessRiemann is now known as SallySellsSeaShellsByTheSeaSho
[00:40:52] <Wogglebug> As the stick contacts the string, the tip of it seems to just sort of disappear into the web. The whole web shakes, and with it the stick, and with that your entire body. You can feel the vibration, a slow, ominous oscillation, shaking your bones. It doesn't hurt. It's just so /weird/.
[00:41:06] * SallySellsSeaShellsByTheSeaSho is now known as Riemann
[00:41:06] * Wogglebug has kicked Riemann for no particular reason
[00:41:38] <Wogglebug> Roll agility.
[00:42:19] <ZombieRaptor> "Huh…. I wonder if Abe is out here skulking…. He probably knows what the hell is up with this.."
[00:42:19] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+3
[00:42:35] <Wogglebug> 7 (++++)
[00:42:41] <Wogglebug> 4df+3
[00:42:43] <ZombieRaptor> (Snapples.)
[00:42:54] <Wogglebug> 5 (0++0)
[00:43:39] <Wogglebug> Suddenly a spider, the size of a soccer ball, rockets by your face, shrieking with menace. You miss it just in time.
[00:44:20] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi drops the stick and hastily puts a bolt in the crossbow.
[00:44:35] <ZombieRaptor> ~Why the fuck didn't I already have it loaded~
[00:44:50] <Wogglebug> The spider lands on a nearby treebranch and disappears into the canopy.
[00:44:55] <Wogglebug> Roll perception.
[00:45:03] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[00:45:18] <Wogglebug> 5 (0+-+)

[00:45:49] <Wogglebug> 3 (+---)
[00:46:05] <Wogglebug> Over there! Above and to the right! Something's moving, quickly!
[00:46:30] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi raises his crossbow, he fires at the motion.
[00:46:30] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+6
[00:46:41] <Wogglebug> 5 (0--+)
[00:46:47] <Wogglebug> 4df+6
[00:46:48] <ZombieRaptor> (Not tagging Wehrmacht sniper because it's not a gun.)
[00:47:04] <Wogglebug> 4 (-+--)
[00:47:11] <Wogglebug> You strike the spider!
[00:47:16] <Wogglebug> 4df+2
[00:47:28] <Wogglebug> 5 (+++0)
[00:47:47] <Wogglebug> It doesn't slow down, but it seems to stagger slightly as it flees into the undergrowth, heading north.
[00:48:26] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi follows it, loading another bolt as he runs.
[00:48:39] <Wogglebug> Roll perception or survival to track it.
[00:48:42] * Daedalus has joined #tooltime
[00:49:41] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[00:49:52] <Wogglebug> 5 (0++-)
[00:49:58] <Wogglebug> 4df+4
[00:50:12] <Wogglebug> 2 (---+)
[00:50:42] <Wogglebug> It's up ahead, and off to the left! It's staggering noticeably now, getting its legs tangled as it flees.
[00:51:36] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi continues following it, waiting for it to drop.
[00:51:45] <Wogglebug> Roll agility.
[00:52:02] <Wogglebug> 4df+3
[00:52:21] <Wogglebug> 5 (0++0)
[00:52:28] <Wogglebug> Roll perception as well.
[00:52:49] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+3
[00:52:51] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[00:53:00] <ZombieRaptor> Agility-perception in that order
[00:53:14] <Wogglebug> 1 (0-0-)
[00:53:26] <Wogglebug> 4 (+-+-)
[00:54:03] <Wogglebug> You fall to the ground as you run through the woods at night, and lose track of the spider. Where'd it go?
[00:54:21] <ZombieRaptor> [Shit] Luvi curses in German.
[00:54:26] <ZombieRaptor> He looks around.
[00:54:39] <Wogglebug> Roll perception.
[00:54:46] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[00:55:01] <Wogglebug> 5 (+0-+)
[00:55:06] <Wogglebug> 4df+3
[00:55:16] <Wogglebug> 1 (-+--)
[00:55:42] <Wogglebug> There it is! It's twitching about in a bush, on its back and nearly out.
[00:56:25] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi runs up to it, waiting for it to entirely be paralyzed.
[00:57:11] <Wogglebug> It glares up at you, squeaking softly. You feel vaguely that it probably just said "Fuck you,asshole." in Spider.
[00:57:14] <Wogglebug> It passes out.
[00:57:25] <ZombieRaptor> How big is it again?
[00:57:44] <Wogglebug> You can roll survival or science to estimate how long it will be unconscious, +1 modifier if you were closely involved in making the sleep poison.
[00:57:52] <Wogglebug> It's the size of a soccer ball.
[00:58:01] <Wogglebug> Maybe a foot high.
[00:58:36] <ZombieRaptor> He has none of those… Roll academics maybe?
[00:59:06] <Wogglebug> Nope. You can roll a +1 off a zero in either, though.
[00:59:29] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+1
[00:59:42] <Wogglebug> 2 (++-)
[01:00:24] <Wogglebug> Well, it's pretty small, probably a pretty fast metabolism. Shouldn't be down /too/ long. Can't really say how long that is, though.
[01:01:32] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi picks it up and sets it in his bag, snapping the button things closed. (In the bag carrying the darts, he doesn't want it in his hands if it comes to.)
[01:01:45] <ZombieRaptor> He checks his compass and hurriedly heads for the compound.
[01:01:45] <Wogglebug> Roll perception.
[01:01:51] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[01:02:03] <Wogglebug> 7 (++0+)
[01:03:23] <Wogglebug> You notice it has a little satchel on its back. Just a tube with some string. Very nice tube, though. Inside is a heavily worn, rough piece of paper, marked with [| ||||| | || | | | | | | ||| | | || | | || | | || || ||||| ||| |||||||||||||| | || || ||| ||| | | | || | | | | || | | || |||| | | || || || | || ||||| || | |||| || | | || | || ||| | || || | | |].
[01:04:21] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi takes it off and sets it in his pocket… He then changes his mind and heads for Abe's home… He thinks he will know what it is.
[01:04:36] <ZombieRaptor> He moves swiftly.
[01:05:00] <Wogglebug> Abe is in his cave, reading.
[01:05:16] <Wogglebug> Somewhere deep in the forest, something screeches, Luvi.
[01:05:18] <Wogglebug> Sounds pissed.
[01:05:20] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi sticks another dart in the spider manually.
[01:05:33] <Wogglebug> Poor thing.
[01:05:38] <ZombieRaptor> He looks around then just books it for Abe.
[01:05:44] <Wogglebug> It looks sad, in its sleep. Very peaceful. But very sad.
[01:05:49] <ZombieRaptor> *running intensifies.*
[01:05:59] <Wogglebug> You reach the hut.
[01:06:16] <ZombieRaptor> "Abe!"
[01:06:22] <Wogglebug> Abe steps out.
[01:06:28] <Wogglebug> "What the fuck did you do now."
[01:06:38] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi pulls the thing out of his pocket. "Know what this is?"
[01:06:41] <Wogglebug> He looks mad. he has a book under one arm.
[01:06:52] <Wogglebug> "whywouldyouevendothat"
[01:06:58] <ZombieRaptor> "For Ivan."
[01:07:01] <Wogglebug> "thisiswhathappenedlasttime"
[01:07:42] <ZombieRaptor> "Well meet me on site, I don't have much time." Luvi heads off, leading whatever's after him away from Abe.
[01:08:04] <Wogglebug> "It's a Spider. Looks like a scout. Get it the fuck away from here. Behind a cage. Somewhere in isolation. And with thick walls."
[01:08:13] <Wogglebug> Abe follows him, stealthing.
[01:08:37] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi wanted him to decode the sheet of paper, which is what he handed him.
[01:09:00] <Wogglebug> Abe can put two and two together.
[01:09:22] <ZombieRaptor> But can he do two and three?
[01:09:32] <Wogglebug> Most people don't carry soccer balls in a bag through the woods.
[01:09:47] <Wogglebug> *screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech*
[01:09:59] <Wogglebug> Somewhere to the west, by the sound of it.
[01:10:02] <Wogglebug> Very loud.
[01:10:03] <ZombieRaptor> "Sunava bitch."
[01:10:27] <Wogglebug> "THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T DO THESE THINGS."
[01:10:35] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi is sprinting towards site, flashlight ahead of him, he sets the crossbow in his custom holster and pulls his pistol.
[01:10:35] <Wogglebug> Abe is booking it.
[01:10:43] <Wogglebug> Roll agility.
[01:10:46] <ZombieRaptor> "Ivan wanted it!"
[01:10:50] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+3 oh god!
[01:11:01] <Wogglebug> 3 (++--)
[01:11:03] <Wogglebug> You fall.
[01:11:16] <Wogglebug> 4df+6 Abe tries to run through the forest at night.
[01:11:26] <Wogglebug> 4 (---+)
[01:11:32] <Wogglebug> He hits a tree, and rebounds.
[01:11:33] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi climbs back to his feet and tries to keep running.
[01:11:38] <Wogglebug> Abe follows.
[01:12:00] <Wogglebug> *screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
[01:12:06] <Wogglebug> Roll mdef.
[01:12:11] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[01:12:19] <Wogglebug> 4 (--++)
[01:12:22] <Wogglebug> 4df+4
[01:12:32] <Wogglebug> 2 (-+--)
[01:12:53] <Wogglebug> That… sounded bad. very bad. And to the West, getting closer.
[01:12:58] <ZombieRaptor> "Will that fucking thing shut up?!"
[01:13:07] <Wogglebug> "It's coming to kill you, dumbass.'
[01:13:12] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi looks that way then concentrates forwards again.
[01:13:20] <Wogglebug> Roll agility.
[01:13:24] <ZombieRaptor> "Fuck it, I'll kill it if I can't escape it."
[01:13:31] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+3
[01:13:39] * Roget has joined #tooltime
[01:13:39] * ChanServ set modes [+qo] on Roget
[01:13:43] <Wogglebug> 3 (-++-)
[01:13:54] <Wogglebug> You fall, again.
[01:14:01] <Wogglebug> 4df+6 Abe tries not to fall.
[01:14:12] <Wogglebug> 6 (0-+0)
[01:14:18] <Wogglebug> Abe manages to stay upright, barely.
[01:14:27] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi scrambles back to his feet again, he runs more.
[01:14:44] <Wogglebug> You can hear stomping behind you somewhere.
[01:14:48] <Wogglebug> And more screeching.
[01:14:51] <Wogglebug> Roll mdef.
[01:14:54] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi pushes himself, sprinting.
[01:14:57] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+4
[01:15:11] <Wogglebug> 2 (+---)
[01:15:34] <Wogglebug> Ohgodohgodohgoditsgettingcloseritsgoingtokillyouohgodohgod.
[01:15:41] <Wogglebug> Abe is feeling similarly.
[01:15:54] <Wogglebug> Abe passes Luvi, booking it for the safety of the site.
[01:16:02] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi shouts. "Goddamnit!" How close is he to site-19?
[01:16:16] <Wogglebug> Roll survival.
[01:16:26] <ZombieRaptor> 4df whelp
[01:16:37] <Wogglebug> 1 (+-+0)
[01:16:49] <Wogglebug> It should be close now, right? Right?
[01:17:02] <Wogglebug> Roll agility.
[01:17:08] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+3
[01:17:19] <Wogglebug> 6 (0+++)
[01:17:24] <Wogglebug> You manage to stay upright.
[01:17:27] <Wogglebug> Barely.
[01:17:32] <Wogglebug> 4df+6 Abe running
[01:17:38] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi keeps sprinting.
[01:17:50] <Wogglebug> 5 (-+0-) Abe trips up a bit, but keeps going.
[01:18:10] <Wogglebug> A screech, this time /so close/.
[01:18:38] <Wogglebug> You can almost feel it, hot rancid breathe on your neck, stinging your skin.
[01:18:38] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi fires a few random shots behind him. (Roll ranged?)
[01:18:42] <Wogglebug> !!!
[01:18:58] <Wogglebug> You burst onto the road, 100 meters from the site.
[01:19:06] <Wogglebug> Abe is up ahead, running towards the site.
[01:19:16] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi puts all he has into running.
[01:19:17] <Wogglebug> Roll agility!
[01:19:36] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+3
[01:19:41] * Riemann is now known as Rieating
[01:19:47] <ZombieRaptor> (Should we head into IC At this point?)
[01:19:54] <Wogglebug> (Not yet.)
[01:20:04] <Wogglebug> 3 (-00+)
[01:20:16] <Wogglebug> You run with all you've got, but you're so, so tired.
[01:20:22] <Wogglebug> It's so close now, the site.
[01:20:24] <Wogglebug> But /so/ far.
[01:20:32] <Wogglebug> You can feel it still, the beast behind you.
[01:20:37] <Wogglebug> The threat of death it presents.
[01:20:44] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi yells exasperatedly.
[01:20:46] <Wogglebug> Its hot, rancid breathe.
[01:20:55] <Wogglebug> Youc an almost smell it.
[01:20:59] <Wogglebug> Suddenly!
[01:21:00] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi looks behind him.
[01:21:26] <Wogglebug> Gunfire from up above the site, hot flashes of machine guns.
[01:22:02] <ZombieRaptor> (People in IC should hear this yea?)
[01:22:05] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi hits the deck.
[01:22:16] <Wogglebug> As you turn, you see a gigantic spider behind you, now almost unrecognizable behind slabs and slabs of rancid flesh.
[01:22:20] <Wogglebug> 4df+18
[01:22:29] <Wogglebug> 17 (00-0)
[01:22:35] <Wogglebug> 4df+12
[01:22:38] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi fires his pistol at it, rolling I've on his back.
[01:22:44] <ZombieRaptor> Over*
[01:22:47] <ZombieRaptor> 4df+11
[01:22:50] <Wogglebug> 11 (00-0)
[01:23:19] <Wogglebug> The beast is pinned down by the gunfire from above, like a man caught in the heaviest of rains.
[01:23:29] <Wogglebug> Your shots ping off its blackened carapace.
[01:23:40] <ZombieRaptor> Luvi gets to his feet and keeps running.
[01:23:50] <Wogglebug> The shots from above roar from above, seemingly forever, turning the thing to mush.
[01:24:10] <Wogglebug> You can hear your own breathing, and the shouts of the guards.
[01:24:21] <Wogglebug> God. It was so fucking close.
[01:24:26] <Wogglebug> Return to IC.
