Do we really hear birds (or what sounds like birds)?

Yes, birds.

Well that ain't right

Too small for the drones??? The 'little bird' drones fit in your hand, if a person fits, they fit. Everything else except the Artys (as hernandos are parts now) are the size of a toy helicopter, so maybe 2/3mx1mx1/2m not much bigger than person if we're handing them through, and the artys being a mini-blimp aren't all that big either. (Well, you can deflate the balloon and reinflate it later)

It may be too small for a couple of drones, but you're a rigger. Means you can do cool things like gain enough speed, fold the rotos last-second, slide through; and unfold/fly by using Captain Chair mode. That's why Riggers are so cool. Show Dogma IC that he's wrong, don't tell him OOC.

Gypsy is currently sustaining 8 (eight!!!) spells! He wasn't actually volunteering to do recon as much as trying to get everyone moving so he can drop the spells.

Much obliged, Sparky.

I'd say you can probably drop the Oxygenate spells at this point. You kept everyone peachy while the dust was at it's worst, and hopefully we'll be getting out into the open soon. Everyone have their blankets handy?

Does everyone even have blankets?

Sphynx said that the breeze from the opening is keeping the dust circulating. That's why Gypsy kept/is keeping the spells up. He'll be dropping the one on Jack when he reaches the surface though.

Oh, and you might want to change it to Sleel's drones.

Toy helicopters? Don't these things have machine guns and stuff? I'm pretty sure you need at least a 1 meter by 1 meter frame or something.

Fortune, thats waht you get for nodding at me. Next time try to be more explicit

Gypsy didn't nod ... he just eyeballed you and then waited for someone else to act.

Back, no, you don't, a toaster sized drone can get a machinegun mounted on it. Sure, its basically an ammobox on wheels, but you can do it.

First - Sphynx - Weeehooo! The bow!

Second - Slinky doesn't covet the bow - Sparky does, er, I do. And since I'm calling the shots poor Slink is dragged along to indulge my ghoulishness.

Now, let's see if she and Tevos can dig up James and Grem.

Heheh. Yay for spiritual construction crews.

We're running 1 day behind schedule, so I'll post a new thread on Tuesday for part-1 of the story. Be prepared for many surprises, and of course, a familiar face. By the time you read this, I'll hopefully have Karma Rewards posted on the CHAR thread.

Sphynx

Sphynx: I haven't said anything before, but remember that I'm in a different time zone (+10 GMT). Since you last gave Karma, my post times and dates according to me are ...

February 15th (9:24 PM)
February 16th (3:44 PM)
February 16th (8:35 PM)
February 17th (8:19 PM)
February 18th (11:53 AM)
February 19th (12:43 PM)
February 20th (8:24 PM).

Seems to me that is more than 5 days. Even though it's only one Karma (each time), I don't really think it's fair to penalize me because I am not in your time zone.

Absolutely right you are, I forgot to look on weekend dates (I counted Monday to Friday). However, I said 5 posts a week was 2 karma, and so it is. My mistake.

See my PM.

My comment was really just to acknowledge Dogma's talking without quoting him. Faster for me, and I need shortcuts. I understood what you were saying.

IC : Wyrm Food has begun.

Sparky posted while I was writing, which resulted in massive editing on my part.

Causality's bitch.

Nice.

Yeah, I liked that line too

As far as I know, more than 1 Trauma Patch is just a waste. They also need to be placed directly over the heart ... I'm not sure if they have any effect when used anywhere else.

As to the linked medkits, it could work. I'd use Gypsy's as the base one though.

Actually if we are all using Sav. Adv. kits they do a lot of it on their own. Nice to know they have a much better biotech skill then I do.

Very cool Sphynx.

At least I don't have to worry (I hope) about Gypsy passing out before he finishes sustaining the spell. Go Trauma Damper!

I rather hope that the next post from Sphynx does not include the line, "And then... Gypsy ASPLODE!!" Let's just hope that Jack's efforts to keep Gypsy from getting all the lifey goodness sucked out of him does then lead to the alternative scenario, "And then dragon go ka-boom."

I was rather hoping you wouldn't do that. Oh well ...

Sphynx: Gypsy will try to maintain concentration on the spell until its effects are finalized (if necessary). He doesn't need contact to sustain the spell, merely to cast it in the first place.

I thought about it, but from Jack's prespective, your hair is going white, and you're starting to bleed from your facial orifices. As I've frequently said, he doesn't know a lot about magic, and what's happening to Gypsy looks like one of those REALLY bad things (actually, if he could see astrally, he'd believe that even more, so). Quarterback sack seemed his most probable course of action.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It was totally in-character, and I am not upset about it.

Sphynx - did you get my PM? Any comment?

I just want to make sure that I'm clear on what was happening. What I thought was happening was that what Gypsy was experiencing wasn't just drain (which Jack has seen to varying degrees), but that the dragon was actually sucking the life out of him through the magical conduit. If that isn't what's happening, well then Jack will still think so, but I'll be clear on it.

Heheh. As a Gm you never get sick of that line. Its just so... rewarding.

And on another note. Dont let the dragon eat me. Please?

Do I still have services left on those spirits?

Heh, figures. I picked out Lindt for being my weakest poster and he posts first.

Gypsy, in case you're wondering how much drain you took for the heal spell, take 9 boxes, multiply it by itself, and then divide by 9.

Sphynx

And here I thought it was because I made the title comment...

Dammit, I knew this wasn't a good idea! Dragons is sooo stoopid.

And Sphynx, it's "Hors d'oeuvre"

*internal monolog* I dont taste good with katsup! Im NOT crunchy!!

So this is gonna suck isnt it...

*edit* what was that line? Dont shoot him with that, youll just make him mad?

I wonder what Gypsy tastes like?

Slight edit ... I'm not as tired now.

If this is Ghostwalker, I'm thinking someone should be using his 4th World name, Icewing. We should know it, either though association, of from the assorted info on Gypsy's chip.

I was looking for that. I knew we should know, since it was on the data that got passed around, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what that was (or where to find Dragons of the Sixth World). So, if nobody minds, I'm going to edit my post and bit (that and his name was Elliot, not William. That's what happens when I keep all my character sheets in the same file).

Might as well be Jack, since Dogma seems to be too busy sucking up.

Well, given that Jack has a Wisdom (I think that's what Sphynx meant) roughly akin to that of buttered toast, he does exactly what the voice in his head tells him too. (edit: okay, I double-checked, and his wisdom isn't that low, but it's still non too high. It would make a bit more sense if Dogma's action came after Jack spoke. I'll see what I can do about that.

Ohnoyoudidn't just ask an Earth Dawn era creature for it's name.

*jaw drop*
Can I officially nominate Sparky for a karma bonus for that tirade? Im just blown away. Wicked nice work =)

So whos getting eaten? wanna place bets?

Hey, HMHVV, one thing I'm wondering about Rebo: why is he convinced that ALL magic is psi power? It just seems kind of strange.

And yeah, easy for you too look tough, Mr. I'm-not-the-one-on-fire.

AH HAHAHA

You know what I pictured? Me putting my finger to my temple and using one of those evil villain pain inducing collar things on Slinky. Could use one of those to keep you people in line! heheheh.... no... must resist urge to be evil team leader... Can you guess I'm playing a Sith in Knights of the Old Republic 2 right now??

And dammit, I knew asking it's name was gonna be a bad idea. Never played ED though.... did I just basically say "hey, your sister is a good lay, but not half as good as your mother"?

Pretty much, except that he'd just walked in on you doing his dad when you said that.
