Fuzzy: Maintain golem creation.

Frelock: Fire Nano-EAGLE in the direction it came from.
Tyberix: Find a cover and wait for the enemy.

Fuzzy: 6 (Oh boy)
HRRRRNNNNGRRRGRRRGGGHHH

Something approaches in the distance. As they get closer, you can start to make out details. It is a small army of large tripods, made out of what look like red cargo containers. They have two wheels on the front, and a cargo container tail with another two wheels.
"Loooooooooooooooollll...."
As they continue approaching, you can make out some of the markings on them. They have a large swastika painted on the side, with a green four-leaf clover behind it.
You can also see a small turret on top of the saucer section.
"LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL..."
They open fire.
The remover beams rake along the ground, instantly destroying anything they touch in a burst of sparks. Within seconds, half of the civilians standing around the party are killed. The rest are running away.
Someone activates some sort of quickly cobbled-together machine, and the tripods slow down. The remover beams seem to be having trouble aiming.
Frelock, enraged, runs at one of the tripods and shoots the joint between the topmost container and the body with his Nano-EAGLE. After a few shots, the container detaches and knocks over the tripod next to it.
Inspired by this minor victory, the TOAST forces open fire on the tripods as well.
Roll for damage: 1
But they only manage to destroy a few tripods, and the army as a whole is unaffected.
Then, golems.
A massive army of thousands of golems wades through the crowd and towards the tripods. The remover beams try to hit them, but they simply can't track fast enough inside the stasis field. Once the golems enter the field, though, the remover beams begin inflicting casualties.
Roll to aim: 4
The remover beams carve a swath through the golem army, but there are plenty left. The golems begin climbing the tripods and beating on them with their fists.
Roll for damage: 5
The entire frontmost row of tripods is disabled by Fuzzy's golem army. They are all smashed under falling cargo containers and saucers.
Fuzzy passes out from the effort.
Ragnarok finishes his Thundra spell.
Roll for damage: 5+1(due to epicness)=6
A massive storm of lightning rains down upon the tripods. Their remover beams explode from the massive electrical surge, and the weld constraints snap from the sudden heat. Another fifty or so tripods are destroyed by the lightning.
The tripods hit the stasis field generator with their remover beams, and it disappears in a shower of sparks.
The last fifty or so tripods begin rolling over their fallen brethren.

Roll To Dodge / Re: RTPJ: Turn 32: There goes your crew...
« on: May 22, 2011, 07:51:17 pm »
Hmm... I'd build a Relativistic Mana Pit, but then again, if there was a containment breach, the friction between the payload and the air would blow the Emet up in a mushroom cloud.
Instead, I shall simply install a big ol' energy tank. It's temporary, but if The Plan goes right, we'll probably have more energy than we'll ever need.
Then, I will procure some digging equipment. Preferably powerful, but still small enough to fit out of the Emet's front door (which I'm hoping is a double door).
I think you can start to guess what the next stage of The Plan is now (well, the next stage is Activate The Rock, but the one after that I mean).
All this talk of relativistic mana pits gives me an idea.
Construct a gravity cannon. The cannonball would fall in a lidded chamber with a portal on the bottom that leads to one built into the lid. Some manner of magitek speedometer (possibly detecting and timing the activation of the portals) would then automatically switch the bottom portal to one attached to an aiming mount, and the cannonball would fly from it at up to terminal velocity (or faster, if the air in the chamber is drained) towards the unlucky target.

They're all wrong too. The Plan is a short-term plan.

Exactly. I want it to be a surprise. And I want you to be unprepared.
The final boss should probably be Haet Machine, the shape-shifting omnicidal physical manifestation of all hatred and evil. One of the two people ever to have pissed of LS01 and survived. He ought to be a challenge, in addition to making sense (though we won't be able to kill him, just beat him up until he runs away).

Step 3 is so awesome it should auto-succeed. Seriously. You can't let awesomeness like that fail.
Also, the code is 7, since I doubt any of you could figure out my encryption scheme even with the passkey.

Okay, here is a preliminary breakdown of the basics of THE PLAN:
The Plan should begin right after the stones get activated.

A: WHARS THE TURN CHOO
B: Can someone look over the whole game and tell me if my character is developing, or just being derailed? I'm worried it might be the latter, since he's gone from my original idea to something completely different in such a short time. Not that I'm complaining; the game would be one hell of a lot less cool if I'd stuck with Golem!Schilcote's original characterization.
EDIT:

E:
Instead of/in addition to the air recyclers, create a small, permanent portal to the Plane Of Air (if that's possible). Should also be useful for dumping things in, which I will need for The Plan.

The kids look at you in astonishment. The appear to be half-elves, and have the look of powder monkeys, people who work the cannons on the ship. The hostage says, "My name is Kafired Warpshot, and this is my brother Akituhub. These pirates bought us from some slavers who had killed most of our clan in a raid on our ship-village. Thank you for rescuing us." His brother says, "We would gladly work the cannons on your mighty house. Please, will you take us?"

He used himself.

The quartermaster is the person in charge of the armory. Comes from an archaic term for property, he is literally the "master of [the army's] quarter".

Kewl. Remember to send me a PM if you do that then. 
Also, is your application to Netland still good? 'Cos now's a good time to enter the game.

« on: May 21, 2011, 08:42:00 pm »Huh. There's nothing much for a multiple dissociative personality disorder paladin/fallen paladin to do with his/their life. They certainly can't go back home. They probably wouldn't be able to agree to go on most adventures, and wouldn't want to be saving everything all the time.
You could work for me. I'd just have to add a third part to The Plan (which would take place after the end of the game).
Also, Choo, have you thought about letting us reuse these characters and their equipment in a later campaign? I think it'd be cool to see the continuing adventures of the Emet and its crew, even if only a few characters carry over. Plus I'd get more mileage out of The Plan, which is a good thing.
