<GM 19:30> Hello hello.
<ET 19:30> Hi.
<GM 19:30> FYI I've got a second player on the line (two chat rooms) so please be patient if it takes me a second to communicate.
<ET 19:31> Sure
<ET 19:31> Who is it?
<GM 19:32> ;)
<GM 19:34> Okay, the last time we played you and Delia were fleeing the disaster at the swap meet. Where are you going?
<ET 19:34> Away! Far away.
<ET 19:34> I dunno where
<ET 19:34> Do I have a spot I go to? Haven't thought of that...
<GM 19:35> You've got a few camps here and there you use
<ET 19:35> Any near here?
<GM 19:35> Sure. Once you get your bearings you realize you're not too too far off a camp you've used before near the river
<ET 19:35> We go to it. Unless Delia has other ideas
<GM 19:37> No. she seems lost
<GM 19:38> But you can collect yourselves and spend the night.
<ET 19:39> Anything good at this camp?
<ET 19:39> Food?
<GM 19:39> (rolling)
<GM 19:39> no, nothing good
<ET 19:40> Okay, so I roll out the beds. Maybe I stand watch
<ET 19:40> Yes I stand watch
<GM 19:40> Hold on...
<ET 19:40> OK
<GM 19:43> I'm back
<ET 19:44> So I'm standing watch for a few hours and then I'll wake Delia and she can watch
<GM 19:44> Not that simple
<GM 19:44> You're still pretty keyed up after what happened. Your arm is smarting too
<ET 19:45> (smarting) <.<
<GM 19:45> Point being you're not sleeping yet and neither is she
<ET 19:45> OK. So are we just looking at each other?
<GM 19:46> Well you could talk
<ET 19:46> ABout?
<GM 19:46> What do you think Erik would be interested in?
<ET 19:47> LMAO getting down with her!
<GM 19:47> Erm. She's not exactly waving you in
<GM 19:47> She seems to want to talk about social change
<ET 19:48> Like what?
<GM 19:48> People coming together to make a better future for all
<ET 19:48> Hmmm. Okay
<GM 19:48> She's pretty persuasive. You're liking what you hear
<ET 19:48> does she want me to join her or something?
<GM 19:49> nothing so specific. (but worth thinking about?)
<GM 19:49> you're suddenly hit with a wave of exhaustion. The events of the past couple days come crashing down
<ET 19:49> Right, let's keep this thing moving! ;) I tell her to sleep and I'll take the first watch
<GM 19:49> It's going to be tough to stay awake. You're exhausted.
<ET 19:49> Can I make tea? I go down to the river for water first
<GM 19:50> roger. you leave the camp. give me a second...
<ET 19:51> ruh-roh
<ET 19:51> can I take that back?
<ET 19:51>pleeze?
<ET 19:53> shit
<GM 19:55> be w/you in a min
<ET 19:56> >praying<
<GM 20:03> Sry for the wait. you hear a gunshot from close by, think about what youd do, be back in a sec
<ET 20:03> dammit
<ET 20:03> I sneak back very carefully to the top of the ridge
<GM 20:07> when you get to the top of the ridge you see Delia laying facedown by the fire. there's a guy standing a few paces away holding a rifle with one hand and clutching his head/face with the other
<ET 20:07> did he see or hear me?
<GM 20:08> No. no roll needed. he appears to be in a very bad way
<ET 20:08> can I get to delia w/o him seeing?
<GM 20:08> almost certainly no
<GM 20:08> she's not moving at all
<ET 20:08> is she dead?
<GM 20:09> hard 2 say, but in the dark, from where you are, you'd guess yes
<GM 20:09> looks like shes dead
<ET 20:09> damn
<ET 20:09> and what's the guy doing?
<GM 20:10> staggering around, looks like he's hurting badbadbad
<ET 20:10> Is there something to hit him with?
<GM 20:10> Sure, it's a wasteland. Bits of metal, rocks
<ET 20:10> what do I need to roll to brain him with a chunk of something?
<GM 20:10> Win initiative and roll DEX + MELEE
<GM 20:10> Roll WITS + ALERTNESS for init
<ET 20:11> [ 1 10 7 4 7 3 ]
<GM 20:11> You got initiative. what do you do?
<ET 20:11> smash his head in
<ET 20:11> yikes, only two dice?
<ET 20:12> [ 8 4 ]
<GM 20:12> wuz going to give you a little bonus since he's out of it. but you hit. roll STRENGTH + 2 dice for damage
<ET 20:12> [ 6 8 5 9 ]
<GM 20:12> That's two. He goes down in a heap
<ET 20:12> KO?
<GM 20:13> bit worse than that
<ET 20:13> I didn't want to kill him, just knock him out
<GM 20:15> yeah, he was in really bad shape. didn't take much
<GM 20:15> can you give me 10-15 min? we can finish up then
<GM 20:15> you just killed Rick
<GM 20:15> he's not taking it well
<ET 20:16> OMG I just killed Kenny!
<ET 20:16> gotta IM him
<GM 20:16> I wouldn't. he's not happy. wait 10-15? just stay logged in
<ET 20:16> LOL sure. Crybaby!
<GM 20:18> ;)
<GM 20:28> Okay I'm back. Let me know when you are.
<ET 20:30> Ready. Did you give him a hanky?
<GM 20:30> He's fine. :) But he was PISSED
<ET 20:30> Ha! was he really that mad?
<GM 20:30> and you're not done yet
<GM 20:30> kinda but he got over it
<ET 20:31> Oh right
<GM 20:31> Ready to start again? official like?
<ET 20:31> Yep
<GM 20:32> so WHACK, you brain this guy and he falls down and doesn't move, except maybe a twitch
<ET 20:32> I examine him. Can I resuscitate him? CPR?
<GM 20:32> His face is broken, basically, and not jjust from your blow
<GM 20:33> You're no doctor but he's dying in your arms; a goner
<ET 20:33> What do you mean broken?
<GM 20:33> Really smashed. Like REALLY smashed in
<ET 20:34> Did she hit him with a rock or something?
<GM 20:34> you don't see anything that suggests that
<ET 20:34> has she moved at all?
<GM 20:34> no
<ET 20:34> (draws deep breath) I drop the dude and go over to inspect her
<ET 20:34> see if I can save her (instead of him)
<GM 20:35> surprisingly little blood and up go your hopes...
<GM 20:35> ...but when you roll her over, the top portion of her head sort of collapses in your hands
<ET 20:35> Oh gawd. gross
<GM 20:35> but that's not all
<GM 20:35> her one eye is still looking around, moving...
<GM 20:36> but the other one has completely fallen out and you can see straight into the center of her head...
<ET 20:36> wtf? sick
<GM 20:36> and you see a flickering bright green light in the center of it
<ET 20:37> the center of what?
<GM 20:37> Her head. In the center of her broken open head there's a little green light, spinning like a lighthouse.
<ET 20:37> um....
<ET 20:37> wha...
<GM 20:37> Yep
<ET 20:38> Srsly, what the hell is that? she's a robot?
<GM 20:38> They prefer the term android :)
<ET 20:38> Again, I cna only say wha...
<GM 20:38> It's quite creepy indeed. In fact, roll a WITS +
<GM 20:39> nothing. Just WITS
<ET 20:39> Umm okay
<ET 20:39> [ 4 1 6 ]
<GM 20:40> Okay, you freak. Like seriously FREAK out
<ET 20:40> sh'yeah!
<GM 20:41> Like drop her head like a hot potato and run screaming into the night
<ET 20:41> ROLFMAO
<ET 20:41> OMG, so she's a ROBOT? WTF di dthat come from?
<GM 20:41> You can thank Bryce for that
<GM 20:41> http://tinyurl.com/7xm2urz
<ET 20:42> OMG
<ET 20:42> A android?
<ET 20:42> classic
<GM 20:42>Yeah, so. How's about that? :o
<ET 20:43> *an
<GM 20:43> So about ending your campaign...
<ET 20:44> Erik runs off screaming through the night? Lacks poetry
<GM 20:44> LOL It does, doesn't it?
<GM 20:44> What do you want to do about that?
<ET 20:44> I don't know...
<ET 20:44> ...but I don't think this rounds out his story very well.
<ET 20:44> Can I take some time to think about it?
<GM 20:45> Of course
<ET 20:45> And how much creative license can I take? With the vignetes? ...
<ET 20:45> by that I mean does it have to be one vignette per sessiion or can I play with that?
<GM 20:46> Well there are no hard and fast rules. BB and I just didn't want to see 2-3K word vignettes from each session, or a bunch of 1K word vignettes that weren't intended to be self-contained.
<GM 20:46> But I don't think we really care
<ET 20:47> Okay. I'm thinking that my last vignette might come AFTER this crazy android encounter.
<GM 20:47> as long as you don't write something really long
<ET 20:47> OK
<GM 20:48> Yeah that's fine.
<GM 20:48> Run it past one (or both) of us if you've got questions
<GM 20:48> I'm sure it will be fine.
<ET 20:48> will do
<GM 20:49> Oh and don't forget: we want you to write a reflection on Erik's cahracter too
<ET 20:49> Okay. This last vignette will definitely impact that.
<ET 20:49> Can't believe we're done! Sad day.
<GM 20:49> Indeed
<GM 20:50> (I'm tired though; lots of working pulling this off! And lots more work ahead to pull it together)
<ET 20:50> HUGE props to you and Bryce for setting this up
<ET 20:50> Been very interesting and hugely entertaining
<GM 20:50> Thanks! We've enjoyed it too. Kind of dominates our waking hours, thinking of all teh wrinkles
<ET 20:51> Indeed
<GM 20:51> Okay, let's sign off for now. I'm sure there will be plenty more discussion as we start to piece together the stories.
<ET 20:51> Thanks again. Bye for now.
<GM 20:51> bye bye
