Choppers Miniature Shadowrun Nightmare

Post by Joose »

Those of you who have been following the Shadowrun threads will know that Chopper received what seemed like quite a crap bonus: a tiny wooden ghoul figure. The following is what happened after he decided to take the message on the bottom literally:

[21:06] [5punk] Joose: Righto! So, you slip the little wooden dood under your pillow and settle down to a nice nights snooze...
[21:06] [5punk] Roman Totale: do I have my teddy bear with me?
[21:06] [5punk] Joose: ...which is rudely awakened by the sound of screaming outside. Teddy bear can be there if you want :)
[21:07] [5punk] Roman Totale: Cool! Chopper springs from his bed, axe at the ready (it's kept on the nightside table)
[21:07] [5punk] Roman Totale: He creeps over to the window to peek out
[21:08] [5punk] Joose: you peek out, only to be surprised by a landscape that is totally not seattle. It takes you a second, but you realise that you are back in your home town. The ghoul infested home town.
[21:08] [5punk] Roman Totale: Eeeek!
[21:09] [5punk] Roman Totale: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
[21:09] [5punk] Joose: !!!!!!!! :D
[21:09] [5punk] Roman Totale: Right, survival mode!
[21:09] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll check the room for handy implements, check the doors etc. Is it ground floor or above?
[21:10] [5punk] Joose: its first floor, the room is empty apart from the bed and your axe. The door is closed, but not secure as such
[21:11] [5punk] Roman Totale: Right, first I'll check the door and quietly move the bed in front of it
[21:11] [5punk] Joose: "check"?
[21:11] [5punk] Roman Totale: then I'll check the window again, look out and try not to get spotted and look for where the scream came from
[21:12] [5punk] Roman Totale: check as in open carefully and peek into the corrifor
[21:12] [5punk] Roman Totale: *corridor
[21:12] [5punk] Joose: corridor is empty, theres stairs down at the end. Probably worth mentioning that you dont recognise this building at all.
[21:13] [5punk] Joose: looking out the window, you dont see who screamed, but a good candidate is the man directly below you, who is currently being eaten by three ghouls
[21:13] [5punk] Roman Totale: hmm, I take it he looks beyond saving?
[21:14] [5punk] Joose: yeah, he is missing significant parts
[21:15] [5punk] Roman Totale: so then, I'll back away from window and head into the corridor. My plan is to get as high as possible, preferably the roof. Do I have any of my other armour/equipment with me?
[21:15] [5punk] Joose: just the axe and your civvies
[21:15] [5punk] Roman Totale: sheeeet
[21:16] [5punk] Joose: heading out of the door, you can see the corridor only ends in a set of stairs heading down
[21:16] [5punk] Roman Totale: any other windows in here? Is it day or night?
[21:16] [5punk] Joose: dead of nights, just the one window
[21:17] [5punk] Joose: *night
[21:17] [5punk] Roman Totale: is that the window I just looked out of or another one?
[21:17] [5punk] Joose: the one you looked out of
[21:17] [5punk] Roman Totale: forgot to ask, is the statue of the dood still here?
[21:18] [5punk] Joose: sort of. Theres a statue there, but its now quite obviously a tiny you
[21:18] [5punk] Roman Totale: urgh
[21:18] [5punk] Roman Totale: well I'll take it with me to keep me safe
[21:19] [5punk] Roman Totale: ok, towards the stairs I suppose - quiet and stealthy like
[21:19] [5punk] Joose: the stairs end in a door, with some letterboxes to the side. You have played Vampire Bloodlines, yeah? its like the first house you go to in that
[21:20] [5punk] Roman Totale: Cool, in that case I'll check all the letterboxes for shinies
[21:21] [5punk] Joose: nowt in them but some rather aged looking letters.
[21:22] [5punk] Roman Totale: any interesting words?
[21:22] [5punk] Joose: nope. Looks mostly like bills and junk.
[21:23] [5punk] Roman Totale: bah, suppose I'll have to head outdoors then. Carefully open door and survey the outside
[21:24] [5punk] Joose: stealthily poking your head out, you can see up and down the road. Theres a few ghouls dotted about, all of them look like the brainless animal type, none of them have spotted you yet.
[21:24] [5punk] Roman Totale: Just a thought, do I look like a ghoul ata ll?
[21:24] [5punk] Joose: Nope, you look like you. Slightly younger though.
[21:25] [5punk] Roman Totale: can I see any drainpipes on the side of the building?
[21:25] [5punk] Roman Totale: or can I see any significant buildings nearby?
[21:26] [5punk] Joose: there is a drainpipe, and there is a significant building. Just down the road, you can see an old english style pub. Just legible in the moonlight are the words "Waugh Arms"
[21:26] [5punk] Roman Totale: Wooo!
[21:27] [5punk] Roman Totale: Firstly though I want to try and get off the street and get a good view - can I climb up the drain pipe? Stealthily?
[21:27] [5punk] Joose: you can try if you want, need a roll for both
[21:27] [5punk] Roman Totale: hang on
[21:28] [5punk] Roman Totale: a rather superb 5 for the climbing
[21:29] [5punk] Roman Totale: but a 2 for infiltration
[21:29] [5punk] Joose: That'll do, no one is looking for you. you make it up to the roof fine
[21:30] [5punk] Joose: from here, you can see that the town is fucked.
[21:30] [5punk] Roman Totale: boo nay
[21:30] [5punk] Joose: theres fires dotted around the place, but other than that, you can't see any evidence of power or non-ghoul life
[21:30] [5punk] Roman Totale: how does the rooftop path to the Waugh look?
[21:31] [5punk] Joose: wierdly, you can't see the limits of the town either. You remember it not being that huge, but you cant see the edge of it from where you are
[21:31] [5punk] Joose: theres a doable route to opposite the Waugh, but you need to get across the road somehow
[21:31] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Fuck this is some weird shit going on right here"
[21:32] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll get to the roof opposite fiorst then survey the scene from there
[21:32] [5punk] Joose: you manage it fine. On the way over, you notice a couple of things that strike you as odd:
[21:33] [5punk] Joose: firstly, all of the ghouls you can see seem to be coming from the Waugh
[21:33] [5punk] Joose: secondly, you are fairly sure you can see someone a few blocks away, running across the rooftops in the same direction you are going in
[21:34] [5punk] Joose: do a perception roll
[21:34] [5punk] Roman Totale: pfft, I know for a fact this will fail. What's the base skill for perception?
[21:34] [5punk] Joose: intuition
[21:35] [5punk] Roman Totale: ooh, 1 hit surpisingly
[21:35] [5punk] Joose: better than nothing. You notice they are also carrying an axe
[21:36] [5punk] Roman Totale: Two things my none existent spider sense are telling me: 1) that other dude is some sort of mirror of me, 2) I bet there's some sort of brood mother in the Waugh
[21:36] [5punk] Roman Totale: Ergo, I am going to go into the Waugh and kill it
[21:36] [5punk] Roman Totale: Chopper logic™
[21:36] [5punk] Roman Totale: how many ghouls in the street outside?
[21:37] [5punk] Joose: 6, in the immediate area
[21:37] [5punk] Roman Totale: how far away is oter dood?
[21:38] [5punk] Joose: Far. Far enough that if he were further, you wouldnt be able to see him at all
[21:38] [5punk] Joose: it being dark and all
[21:39] [5punk] Roman Totale: any telephone poles/wires around?
[21:39] [5punk] Joose: nyet
[21:39] [5punk] Roman Totale: any large bricks or similar that can be pulled from the building to be used as a makeshift missile?
[21:40] [5punk] Joose: not really, no
[21:40] [5punk] Roman Totale: fuuuuck
[21:40] [5punk] Joose: you could try and hack a bit off with your axe, I suppose, but its not likely to work
[21:40] [5punk] Roman Totale: chances of jumping to tother side of street onto roof?
[21:41] [5punk] Joose: pfft, no
[21:42] [5punk] Roman Totale: bugger, any way at all I can see to access the waugh without having to go through the ghouls?
[21:43] [5punk] Joose: you could maybe go around? theres less further down the street than there are immediately around the pub
[21:43] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll do that then
[21:44] [5punk] Joose: k, you make your way down the street on the roof. As you are going, the other guy is maintaining his distance way up ahead.
[21:44] [5punk] Joose: Perception again!
[21:45] [5punk] Roman Totale: again, 1
[21:45] [5punk] Roman Totale: best I've ever done on perception rollls
[21:46] [5punk] Joose: you seem to be at a midpoint now between two ghoul groups. theres a half a dozen a little way to your left, where the waugh is, and there appears to be about the same amount the same distance to your right. The other guy has stopped.
[21:46] [5punk] Roman Totale: he's such a fag
[21:47] [5punk] Roman Totale: can I get on to the roof of the waugh from here?
[21:47] [5punk] Joose: you recon you could climb up the building on the other side of the road and make your way back again
[21:48] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll take the roof option - want to avoid a ghoul gang bang
[21:48] [5punk] Joose: As you look back in the direction of the Waugh, checking if you could make it there if you climbed up the opposite building, you notice another guy, also stopped, about the same distance in the opposite direction
[21:48] [5punk] Joose: he also has an axe
[21:49] [5punk] Roman Totale: "mother fuckers need to get a new look instead of copying my style. That said, I am one stylish dood"
[21:49] [5punk] Joose: hehe
[21:50] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll wave at the man
[21:50] [5punk] Joose: he waves also
[21:50] [5punk] Roman Totale: hmm, if I move in his direction does he move towards me?
[21:50] [5punk] Joose: no, he moves away
[21:50] [5punk] Roman Totale: a ha
[21:51] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'm thinking some sort of eidolon!
[21:52] [5punk] Roman Totale: well then, I'll continue on my quest to enter the Waugh via the roof
[21:52] [5punk] Joose: so climbing down then?
[21:53] [5punk] Joose: you'll need a roll for that, but I'll make it count for the roll up on the other side too
[21:54] [5punk] Roman Totale: er, I suppose - thought I was already onthe ground though
[21:54] [5punk] Joose: no, you were making your way along the rooftops
[21:54] [5punk] Roman Totale: rolled 3
[21:54] [5punk] Joose: that'll do.
[21:55] [5punk] Joose: if you can make a stealth roll of more than 2, you make it across without alerting the ghouls
[21:55] [5punk] Roman Totale: bless my dice!
[21:55] [5punk] Joose: sucess?
[21:55] [5punk] Roman Totale: Fuck yeah! 3!
[21:56] [5punk] Roman Totale: went a bit cross eyed at frst and thought i only ot 2
[21:56] [5punk] Joose: woo! you are now on the correct side of the street, on the roof. Both of your mates have done the same
[21:56] [5punk] Roman Totale: christ I can't type
[21:56] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll givre them both the thumbs up and head towards the Waugh
[21:57] [5punk] Joose: they return the gesture, and match your walking. You make it to the top of the waugh without issue
[21:57] [5punk] Roman Totale: any windows on the roof?
[21:58] [5punk] Joose: yup
[21:58] [5punk] Roman Totale: I shall peer through one, carefully
[21:59] [5punk] Joose: A ghoul peers back. It screams incoherent anger at you
[21:59] [5punk] Roman Totale: I shall attempt tto smash it in the face with myaxe
[22:00] [5punk] Roman Totale: *myaxe - like myspace for weapons enthusiasts
[22:00] [5punk] Joose: inititititiative roooll!
[22:00] [5punk] Roman Totale: remind whichones I need for that again? I ALWAYS forget with init
[22:01] [5punk] Joose: reaction + intuition
[22:01] [5punk] Roman Totale: 4
[22:01] [5punk] Roman Totale: oh, plus the initial 7
[22:02] [5punk] Joose: so 11 total, ghoul gets...
[22:02] [5punk] Joose: 11 also, but his initiative is higher, so he goes first. All he does is smash the window out though, misses you
[22:03] [5punk] Roman Totale: pfft, bitch
[22:03] [5punk] Roman Totale: I attempt to hit him with mah axe:
[22:03] [5punk] Roman Totale: give me a min, I have to work our how many dice I get
[22:04] [5punk] Roman Totale: is specialisation plus 2 or 1
[22:04] [5punk] Joose: 2
[22:04] [5punk] Joose: plus 2 for reach, as axes are loong
[22:04] [5punk] Roman Totale: shit, 17 dice pool...
[22:04] [5punk] Joose: manydice
[22:05] [5punk] Joose: http://r.xtarsia.net/roph/img/random/shadowrun.jpg
[22:05] [5punk] Roman Totale: hmm, still only got 5 though
[22:05] [5punk] Joose: pfft
[22:05] [5punk] Roman Totale: lol @ pic
[22:06] [5punk] Joose: thats 4 net hits on him
[22:06] [5punk] Joose: whats the DV of the axe?
[22:07] [5punk] Roman Totale: 1 sec...
[22:08] [5punk] Roman Totale: (str/2+4) p
[22:08] [5punk] Roman Totale: 6p
[22:08] [5punk] Joose: righto, so that adjusts to 10 damage. Owie
[22:08] [5punk] Joose: splatto, dead ghoul
[22:09] [5punk] Roman Totale: woop yeah!
[22:10] [5punk] Joose: so, now what?
[22:11] [5punk] Roman Totale: good point! Making sure there is no viscera upon my face or cuts etc I shall climg in through the broken window. In fact if I have any rags I'll wrap them around my nose and mouth
[22:12] [5punk] Joose: you could cut bits off your tshirt if you want
[22:14] [5punk] Roman Totale: Will do - then I can have a crop top and live out my fantasy of being a teenage girl
[22:14] [5punk] Joose: yay!
[22:14] [5punk] Roman Totale: "wait, did I just say that out loud?"
[22:14] [5punk] Joose: Chopper: slowly morphing into deadpool :D
[22:14] [5punk] Joose: not that thats a bad thing...
[22:15] [5punk] Roman Totale: I have noticed he's becoming more like him - possibly due to my addiction all things Wade
[22:16] [5punk] Joose: its fine by me! So, you climb in, and find yourself in one of the old bedrooms over the pub. Used to be part of the flat the landlord lived in. You *think* that the...mess in the bed is said landlord. Or rather, was.
[22:17] [5punk] Roman Totale: mm, tasty. Any bits around the place that might come in handy? Bottle of alcolol? Flamethrower?
[22:18] [5punk] Joose: just the sort of stuff you would expect to find in a bedroom. Do another perception test (i predict a roll of 1!)
[22:18] [5punk] Roman Totale: Haha! You lose! I rolled a massive.......zero!
[22:19] [5punk] Joose: pfft, ok, you notice nothing!
[22:19] [5punk] Joose: theres a door out though, you notice that
[22:19] [5punk] Roman Totale: as long as I don't walk into it...
[22:19] [5punk] Roman Totale: I shall creep over to it and duck my head into the corridor
[22:20] [5punk] Joose: two more ghouls, presumably coming to find out what the shouting was all about. BULLET TIEM!
[22:21] [5punk] Roman Totale: 9 init
[22:22] [5punk] Joose: heh, they all go first.
[22:22] [5punk] Joose: -all +both
[22:22] [5punk] Roman Totale: dance off!
[22:22] [5punk] Joose: first ghoul makes a swing at your noggin with his hand-claws!
[22:23] [5punk] Joose: And misses entirely! fucking ghouls!
[22:23] [5punk] Roman Totale: don't I have to roll?
[22:23] [5punk] Joose: second one does the same
[22:23] [5punk] Joose: not if he rolls 0 hits. I think you could probably equal or surpass that.
[22:24] [5punk] Roman Totale: ah right
[22:24] [5punk] Joose: mild improvement! second ghoul has 1 hit, time for your dodging
[22:24] [5punk] Roman Totale: hehe, I've already rolled the dodge now
[22:24] [5punk] Roman Totale: 5 you ghoul fuck!
[22:25] [5punk] Roman Totale: no, wait
[22:25] [5punk] Roman Totale: oh ffs, I sold myself short in the dice pool, re-rolled and only got 3 that time :(
[22:26] [5punk] Joose: still more than one, so that works. dodge goe!
[22:26] [5punk] Joose: right, your turn
[22:26] [5punk] Roman Totale: a rather piss poor 3 for my attack. 3! Out of 17!
[22:27] [5punk] Joose: pfft
[22:27] [5punk] Joose: and ghoul boy dodges! holy fuck!
[22:27] [5punk] Joose: next turn, ininininitiatives!
[22:27] [5punk] Roman Totale: hehe, this cold take a while...
[22:28] [5punk] Roman Totale: 9 again]
[22:28] [5punk] Joose: pfft, again, they both go first. Same routine as next time
[22:29] [5punk] Joose: 1st hitting! 4 hits
[22:30] [5punk] Roman Totale: 6 bitch!
[22:30] [5punk] Joose: shit!
[22:30] [5punk] Joose: next ghoul: 3 hits
[22:30] [5punk] Roman Totale: 5 bitch!
[22:31] [5punk] Roman Totale: oh fuck yes, just rolled my attack :D
[22:31] [5punk] Joose: go on then, what you roll?
[22:32] [5punk] Roman Totale: 9 you dribbling ghoul fuck!
[22:32] [5punk] Joose: shitting hell! nice
[22:32] [5punk] Roman Totale: makes up for last round!
[22:33] [5punk] Joose: he resists nothing, not that it would help him anyway, and you cut him clean in half. one down, next combat turn
[22:33] [5punk] Joose: inininint!
[22:33] [5punk] Roman Totale: ooh, 11 this time (thank you WOTC dice roller)
[22:33] [5punk] Joose: woo, you go first!
[22:34] [5punk] Roman Totale: 4 (fuck you WOTC dice roller!)
[22:35] [5punk] Joose: 2 net hits, taking the damage to 8. He resists 1, and takes 7 hits. this makes him fall over. He spends this combat turn getting up again
[22:35] [5punk] Joose: init!
[22:36] [5punk] Roman Totale: 8 :(
[22:36] [5punk] Roman Totale: looks like a gorilla
[22:36] [5punk] Joose: hehe, it does too
[22:37] [5punk] Joose: thanks to his sucking gut wound, you still go first
[22:37] [5punk] Roman Totale: I think I might punch him in the head for this one, aiming to take it clean off...
[22:38] [5punk] Roman Totale: no fuck it, can't be arsed working out the dice pool
[22:38] [5punk] Roman Totale: 6 with the axe
[22:39] [5punk] Joose: and death
[22:40] [5punk] Joose: so, the corridor has two doors, plus the one you came out of, and some stairs down at the end.
[22:40] [5punk] Joose: perception roll again?
[22:40] [5punk] Roman Totale: 1!
[22:42] [5punk] Joose: that'll do, cos the wierdness is fairly obvious: the corridor is surprisingly lacking in dead ghouls
[22:42] [5punk] Roman Totale: ooh
[22:43] [5punk] Roman Totale: I hope I'm not sleep walking and hacking the fuck out of innocent people
[22:43] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'll check th other door
[22:44] [5punk] Roman Totale: and if I see another ghoul I *might* let it hit me to see what happens
[22:45] [5punk] Joose: there is indeed another ghoul. It looks like it was trying to remember how to operate doors, and looks mildly surprised that opening doors seems to be acheived by wishing.
[22:45] [5punk] Joose: its now angry
[22:45] [5punk] Roman Totale: I shall slap it round the chops to see what it does
[22:46] [5punk] Joose: snarls, and claws at you: 1 hit
[22:47] [5punk] Roman Totale: I won't try and dodge - want to see if it actually hurts or does anything unusual
[22:48] [5punk] Joose: k, you need to resist 5 physical damage then :)
[22:48] [5punk] Roman Totale: how do I do that?
[22:48] [5punk] Joose: body + armour. however, your pj's dont provide much protection
[22:48] [5punk] Joose: dont forget edge though
[22:49] [5punk] Roman Totale: Body is 4 so I'll deffo use edge. Should I just roll the 4 to start with as I can't remember how edge works properly
[22:50] [5punk] Roman Totale: rolled 5,1,5,5
[22:50] [5punk] Joose: you add as much edge as you like to the dice pool as extra dice to roll, and if any of the dice in the dice pool come up 6, you roll another dice
[22:50] [5punk] Roman Totale: ah, ignore that last roll then
[22:51] [5punk] Roman Totale: if I get one 6 just roll one more dice?
[22:51] [5punk] Joose: yep
[22:51] [5punk] Joose: one extra die for each 6
[22:51] [5punk] Joose: if any of those come up 6, roll another
[22:52] [5punk] Roman Totale: 6,4,5,6,3
[22:52] [5punk] Roman Totale: followed by 5,1
[22:52] [5punk] Roman Totale: so 4?
[22:52] [5punk] Joose: indeed, so 1 physical damage taken
[22:52] [5punk] Roman Totale: that's with one edge
[22:52] [5punk] Roman Totale: ouchie
[22:53] [5punk] Roman Totale: right, fuck that for a laugh, I'm going to whack him with the axe - do I need to init roll?
[22:55] [5punk] Joose: yep, if we are going into proper combat
[22:55] [5punk] Roman Totale: 10 init
[22:56] [5punk] Joose: you first then
[22:56] [5punk] Roman Totale: 5
[22:57] [5punk] Joose: and splatto! axe o death!
[22:58] [5punk] Roman Totale: shit yeah! I'll inspect this room too. Alas perception roll was zero :(
[22:58] [5punk] Joose: you see a room. Just looks like a bedroom to you
[22:59] [5punk] Roman Totale: my detective skills are win. Downstairs for me then!
[22:59] [5punk] Joose: As you get to the bottom of the stairs, you hear someone mumbling from the room the other side (which you seem to remember being the bar)...
[23:01] [5punk] Joose: "muttermumbleill get through this time, see if I dont! mmmmrgh, just need a few more, few more, yes."
[23:01] [5punk] Roman Totale: I'm guessing it's another Chopper!
[23:01] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Yo! Dude in the bar! Is that me?"
[23:02] [5punk] Joose: theres a pause, then a reply "....yes?"
[23:02] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Prove it - what's your secret ambition?"
[23:03] [5punk] Joose: ".....eat?"
[23:03] [5punk] Roman Totale: "hmm, good enough for me. So, what the fuck are you doing in here? And is there any beer left?"
[23:04] [5punk] Joose: "Im trying to get out of course. Got to get out. Didnt work last time, did it? Will this time though. I have more! MORE!"
[23:05] [5punk] Roman Totale: "More of me? Yeah, seen a couple of dudes that look like us on their way. What's the big deal anyway? I, or rather *we*, got out of this place before, why not now?"
[23:08] [5punk] Joose: "Cant get out. Got put back. They killed all our friends, killed them with fire! That made me sad, didnt it? yes. But I have more now. They wont stop them this time. This time they will get out of the town, and I will get out! OUT!"
[23:08] [5punk] Joose: "im hungry"
[23:09] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Sweet. No bar snacks left? So then, shall we get going now? I've found going by rooftop is best. C'mon, follow me"
[23:09] [5punk] Joose: you know you havent seen him yet, right?
[23:10] [5punk] Roman Totale: ah right! I shall move into the bar area, carefully, to look at him. I have a horrible feeling he may look like a ghoul though
[23:11] [5punk] Joose: well, he doesnt look like a ghoul. He looks a bit like a really fat man, with a slightly saggy face, but theres something subtly...wrong about him.
[23:11] [5punk] Joose: he definately isnt you though
[23:12] [5punk] Roman Totale: "hang on, who the fuck are you? You're not me. I mean, I know I'm me but I thought you might be too. Who are you? And "me" is not a valid answer"
[23:12] [5punk] Joose: He suddenly looks very pissed off
[23:12] [5punk] Joose: "YOU!"
[23:12] [5punk] Roman Totale: Chopper give him a little wave
[23:12] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Hi there!"
[23:13] [5punk] Joose: "YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS! KILLED THEM WITH AXES! BEFORE, LAST TIME! I KILLED AND ATE YOUR FRIENDS, BUT NOT YOU! I KILL YOU NOW!"
[23:14] [5punk] Joose: "YOU NOT GET OUT THIS TIME!"
[23:14] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Dude, you should have stuck to the bar snacks, cos the only thing you're going to be eating is the fucking floor! RAAAGHGHGHWAARBL!"
[23:14] [5punk] Roman Totale: init time?
[23:15] [5punk] Joose: indeed!
[23:15] [5punk] Roman Totale: 9
[23:15] [5punk] Joose: he goes first
[23:15] [5punk] Roman Totale: mother!
[23:16] [5punk] Joose: his big baggy mouth kinda gapes a bit, and two ghouls crawl out.
[23:16] [5punk] Joose: your go
[23:17] [5punk] Roman Totale: "I don't know what you ate, but it certainly doesn't agree with me. But then again you're not me. We established that right? Either way, fuck you!"
[23:18] [5punk] Roman Totale: 6 rolls
[23:19] [5punk] Joose: what you rolling for? I mean, I presume you are hitting something, but the fat guy or his ghouls?
[23:20] [5punk] Roman Totale: oh yeah, hitting a ghoul first with an axe (I presume I'll ave to get throughthem girst)
[23:20] [5punk] Roman Totale: *first
[23:22] [5punk] Joose: and splatto, one down
[23:22] [5punk] Joose: fat guys second initiative pass!
[23:23] [5punk] Roman Totale: do I need to do anything?
[23:23] [5punk] Joose: he is quite sprightly for a big chap, and takes a swing at your noggin: 6 hits
[23:24] [5punk] Roman Totale: eek!
[23:24] [5punk] Roman Totale: 5!
[23:24] [5punk] Joose: he lands it! resist 4 stun blammage
[23:25] [5punk] Roman Totale: is that a body one again?
[23:26] [5punk] Joose: yup, body
[23:26] [5punk] Roman Totale: burrrrr, just the 1
[23:26] [5punk] Joose: 3 stun to you then!
[23:26] [5punk] Roman Totale: urk!
[23:26] [5punk] Roman Totale: init again?
[23:27] [5punk] Roman Totale: or do i attack now?
[23:27] [5punk] Joose: init again, fat man has 2 initiative passes see
[23:28] [5punk] Roman Totale: 10
[23:28] [5punk] Joose: fat man first, then you, then ghoul. Then fat man again.
[23:29] [5punk] Joose: so, punch number two! a less impressive 3 hits for him
[23:29] [5punk] Roman Totale: ha! 6!
[23:30] [5punk] Joose: swing and a miss. Your go!
[23:30] [5punk] Roman Totale: Motherfucking 8!
[23:30] [5punk] Joose: against?
[23:30] [5punk] Roman Totale: oh, fat man
[23:32] [5punk] Joose: he gets 2, so thats 6 hits: so 12 damage. He resists...
[23:32] [5punk] Joose: 2
[23:33] [5punk] Joose: so thats 10 damage. He doesnt look happy, but he is still standing
[23:33] [5punk] Roman Totale: "You're a big man, but you're out of shape!"
[23:33] [5punk] Joose: ghoul hits at you, 3 hits
[23:33] [5punk] Roman Totale: do I dodge or resist?
[23:34] [5punk] Joose: dodge
[23:34] [5punk] Roman Totale: ooh, just 4 that time - low but just enough
[23:35] [5punk] Joose: indeed. Fat mans second attack: totally misses. Next turn!
[23:35] [5punk] Roman Totale: 9 init
[23:36] [5punk] Joose: ghoul goes first, then you, then fatman
[23:36] [5punk] Joose: so ghoul: 2 hits
[23:37] [5punk] Roman Totale: hmmm, just 2 hits for me...
[23:38] [5punk] Roman Totale: attacking however give me 6
[23:38] [5punk] Joose: the fat man again?
[23:39] [5punk] Roman Totale: yup
[23:39] [5punk] Joose: squelch! The axe hits squarely into his noggin, purply goo squirts out and runs down his face
[23:40] [5punk] Roman Totale: sexy
[23:40] [5punk] Joose: his eyes roll up into his face, and he lets out a noise like "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeee..."
[23:40] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Did someonen leave the kettle on?"
[23:40] [5punk] Joose: the ghoul that was attacking you screams, and pops, covering you in guts and puss
[23:41] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Fucking gross man. How am I going to get this shit off me now?"
[23:41] [5punk] Joose: in the fat guts of the fat man, you see faces starting to push out, with hands pressing against the side. You think you can hear distant screams.
[23:42] [5punk] Roman Totale: "Hello? IS anyone in there?"
[23:42] [5punk] Roman Totale: fighting his revulsion, Chopper digs into the guts to find something
[23:43] [5punk] Joose: Finally, there is a noise like tearing metal, and everything goes totally batshit. The closest you can get to describing it later is like the world being scrunched up like a scrap of paper, with you and the fat guy in the middle.
[23:44] [5punk] Joose: Something pulls at you, and you are sucked face first into his guts. You feel it dribbling into your ears, pushing against your eyes, and squirting into your mouth and nose. The smell is horrid.
[23:44] [5punk] Roman Totale: AAAARRRGGGGHHHH!
[23:44] [5punk] Roman Totale: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!?!?!
[23:44] [5punk] Joose: Suddenly, you wake in your room, back in seattle
[23:44] [5punk] Roman Totale: "What the shitting Christ?!"
[23:45] [5punk] Roman Totale: He jumps up, checks the room is definitely his, checks the road outside for ghouls then goes to find the little statue
[23:46] [5punk] Joose: Everything seems back to normal, and you would think that it was all a dream, but for three things:
[23:46] [5punk] Joose: Your clothes are stained and smell of shit and innards
[23:47] [5punk] Roman Totale: nice
[23:47] [5punk] Joose: your axe still has goo on
[23:47] [5punk] Roman Totale: sexy
[23:47] [5punk] Joose: (although it doesnt seem to have moved from by the bed)
[23:47] [5punk] Joose: and the little wooden statue of the ghoul now has its head split open.
[23:48] [5punk] Roman Totale: sweet! I'll cutt its head off with my bread knife
[23:48] [5punk] Joose: done! its just a little bit of wood as far as you can tell now
[23:48] [5punk] Roman Totale: do I feel any different?
[23:49] [5punk] Joose: oh yes. Now we have done the RPing bit, heres the game effects:
[23:50] [5punk] Joose: basically, although Chopper doesnt really have any better idea about what just happened than you do, the effect of it all was the same as an Initiatory whatsit
[23:50] [5punk] Joose: so, if you want to, you may now pay 10 karma and have initiation level 1! yay!

That was brilliant. Reminded me simultaneously of Dreamlands in Call of Cthulhu, and the weird stuff that happens to Ebons in The White in SLA.

Excellent stuff!


And has also inspired a few more brain spasms in terms of the character progression runs I'm working on.

That's pretty cool, but I haven't got the slightest clue as to what's going on.

Roman's character in Shadowrun dreaming about being Roman's character in Urban Dead (and probably his SR character's background).

:w00t: Top stuff! So were the other choppers responding to his waves and thumbs up or were they doing it at the same time? The wording was such that it could have been either!

Just found this thread, and realised I never answered any of the questions. How rude!

They were doing it at the same time, for they were in fact, the same person. The metaplane Chopper had been magically transported to was teenytiny, and wrapped around a bit like the game Asteroids. So it wasnt actually other people, it just looked like that. Chopper was actually waving at himself.

The Metaplanes in Shadowrun are like magical parallel dimensions. They are where spirits come from, and where spirits go back to when you "kill" them. Theres effectively an infinate number of them, they are all different from each other, and they are awesome for GM's, as normal rules do not apply.

I do like the meta-planes, I sometimes forget to remember that as they get more extreme to humans then life span drops dramatically.

The library however, is mostly safe. :lol:
