((I'd like to point out that I have actively attempted to use Bob's d4 occult in interesting situations over the course of two missions and have yet to roll as badly as Baldwin has, consistently, throughout this mission with his d8. My only regret is that I never got into a hilariously awkward bit of trouble with my occult tentacle. Baldwin is living the dream, I tell ya.))

"How about you start taking responsibility for your actions! If you want your teammates to have your back when the going gets tough, they have to know you are reliable as well!

Promise me you'll fix your mess, and I'll try, try, to get Bob not to Bob for a moment."


Baldwin is a bit too preoccupied to carry on any complex negotiations

"Sure, I'll try to erase the sigils again! Whatever you say just get me out of here!"

Continue deathrolling the threat.

Spoiler: The MOOKiest (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Team Mascot (click to show/hide)
Get out of the deathroll. Since it's unlikely I'll be able to out-strength Bob, I'll try to use minor fleshwarping powers if no one else stops him. Attempt to use my magic to retract my head into my body like a turtle and then escape his grasp!

If anyone actually helped save me from Bob, then work on removing the sigils. Otherwise, leave the EDPC and hide somewhere safe. Climbing on top of the vehicle might be a good option


"I'm not going back in there until that gator is restrained and under control! If you want to remove the sigils so badly, then do it yourself! You just need to erase them."
((Assume this line is only spoken if Rob escapes on his own and exits the EDPC))

Spoiler: Baldwin Reborn (click to show/hide)
Swim to the back door and open it to let out the wave of spoopy woodland critters.

Try to distract Bob for a bit to stop the deathroll, perhaps find a tasty ectoplasmic fish! Or find some broken bit of machinery for him to tail-slap into repair. 



"Bob, please stop deathrolling the occult idiot for just a moment, he has to clean up his mess first."

Spoiler: Yagyu d'Aubigny (click to show/hide)
Yagyu just barely manages to distract Bob away from Baldwin with a handful of scurrying ghost mice. Bob eats all the ghost mice and then begins pac-man-ing his way around the EdPC, devouring ghosts. How does he devour ghosts? Thats a good question that will probably be answered at another time.

[5]
Baldwin, no longer being eaten alive, swims to the bottom of the EdPC and scrapes off the sigils.  This doesn't cause the existing ghosts to vanish, but it does seem to stop more from showing up.

"You guys do whatever I'm just gonna be over here trying to make a friend with a ghost."
Grab one of the deer ghosts and try to tame it to be my friend.
Spoiler: Is no longer dead! (click to show/hide)
[2] Attempts to grab, persuade, negotiate, or entice the ghost deer result in failure. The ghost deer scamper through the walls of the EdPC and assumedly off into the woods or maybe to deer heaven. Wherever it is dead deer go.

If any of the ghost critters get aggressive, see how effective the anti-bio razor is against their semi-corporeal forms. If nothing else happens, see if I can trap a small ghost creature in one of Aka’s containment pods.
Spoiler: Ji (click to show/hide)
[3]
Ji, using the containment pod like a bucket, scoops up about a dozen ghostly critters. Mostly mice, but there's a vole in there too. And a Rabbit. Big squirming bucket of rodent ghosts. Which is incidentally the name of the band she played drums in  during high school.

 




The EdPC catches a ping from the Evac shuttle. Only a minute or two now.



Wilfred begins cackling maniacally from his undead cockpit, directing the motions of his monstrous mecha by gesticulating chaotically while he laughs and screams.

"COME ON, SAM!  IF YOU WANTED TO JUMP MY BONES SO BAD YOU COULD'VE JUST ASKED, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO EAT DETROIT!  AND NOW WE'RE ON TV TOO!  THINK OF THE CHILDREN, SAM!   GAHAHAHAHA!  OH, I DON'T CARE--GIMME A KISS, YOU RAVAGING BEAST!"

So you're saying the mecha's head is free?  Bend forward and bite SAM's face off, or whatever passes for a face on that monstrosity.  Then try to free an arm, and repeatedly punch the thing in its chest and neck!  Beat it into the ground!

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Accomplishments (click to show/hide)
[3v6]
[1v4]
SAM pulls her feet up under The Deadnaught's chest and kicks upwards. Wilfred and the Deadnaught go flying into the air in a slow arc away from SAM, eventually crashing down in an abandoned and burning residential neighborhood. As the Deadnaught struggles to coalesce itself and stand up, SAM's mouth opens wide again and a blue glow gathers in her throat. After a few seconds of gathering power the light erupts from her mouth as a concentrated beam. It sweeps vertically, slicing directly across the Deadnaught's body and several miles of city, leaving a blue glowing gash behind it. That glow intensifies to white and then the gash  explodes. The cut and following explosion blows large chunks of ectoplasmic material off the Deadnaught and almost severs its right arm.  SAM begins gathering more energy for a second volley.

"Ok, now everybody sit still, don't cause trouble and just chill for a second."
Yagyu said, looking at Baldwin the whole time and not breaking eye contact.

Then, after a short pauze, he adds:
"We'll be out of here soon, and then this whole nightmare is officially someone else's problem."

Open the back door of the EdPC for a sec to let out all the ghosts. Then close it again.

Baldwin obeys Yagyu's orders very stricly and sits incredibly still, in contrast to his usual sass. He is visibly uncomfortable though, and makes several glances at Bob. Eventually he decides to speak up.

"I understand your intentions Captain, but as a human being who survived an assault from a colleague, I am respectfully requesting permission to go outside for some much needed air and distance."

After a long time receiving the silent treatment from Yagyu, Baldwin decides to distract himself from the scary gator by examining the golden mushroom again. Surely it must have grown by now! A past Baldwin would have cringed at the thought of having forgotten to sell it at the bizarre (and giving Ji her fair share), but this version doesn't for some reason.

"Oh come on SAM, you almost took our arm off!  That's so sad, you didn't even manage to remove it fully!  Let me show you what a REAL dismemberment looks like!"

Make the Deadnaught reach up to its laughing skull head, rip it off, and throw the damn thing at SAM!  Wilfred riding along, using his ghost magic to empower the skull and strengthen its mouth into a colossal beartrap.  All to give the Deadnaught's headless body a chance to get back up and dropkick SAM back down.

Most of the critters have already wandered, but you manage to make friends with a ephemeral fox. It looks like a hazy skeleton covered in blueish fog in the rough shape of a fox. When it barks it seems to be from far away and echo for a very long time.

You open the door of the EdPC and start trying to shoo ghosts out. Most have already wandered through the walls but your attempts to scatter some of the more skittish ones. The spectral tortoises aren't budging though.

The mushroom does appear to have grown. Not a lot, but a bit. The bottom of the inside of the container is filled with a thin film of golden mycelium.

When the extraction shuttle comes it does so much more quietly than anyone expected. Admittedly the sound of colossal kaiju battle in the distance and the screaming of fleeing civilians does help hide it a bit.  it seems to either be reflective or mimicking the colors of the sky, its kind of hard to tell, and has a shape something like a fat boomerang though exact proportions and shapes are difficult to tell. It glides in over the EdPC and stops in place, hovering for a long moment before rotating on its axis to face the opposite way, away from the disaster zone.  Then it lowers towards the ground. The grass and trees wobble as though in a downdraft but slower than it seems like they should, as though underwater. The metal of the EdPC rings and hums with odd resonance as the ship gets closer until the entire vehicle is warbling like a songbird. Something then grabs hold, yanking the EdPC up a foot all at once and clanging it solidly against the bottom of the ship. Magnetic maybe?

A voice comes in over the EdPC's internal speaker system.

"Ready to depart?"

It sounds human, not the flat tinny voice of a robot.


"Oh come on SAM, you almost took our arm off!  That's so sad, you didn't even manage to remove it fully!  Let me show you what a REAL dismemberment looks like!"

Make the Deadnaught reach up to its laughing skull head, rip it off, and throw the damn thing at SAM!  Wilfred riding along, using his ghost magic to empower the skull and strengthen its mouth into a colossal beartrap.  All to give the Deadnaught's headless body a chance to get back up and dropkick SAM back down.

[4v3]
The Deadnaught grabs its head with its good arm and throws it directly at SAM. Being a gestalt entity instead of a solid thing, the head comes off easily and flies like a snowball leaving a trail of ghosts and corpses in its wake. As it flies it morphs from a skull into something more akin to a carnivorous pac-man, a vague ball split nearly in half by a giant mouth of biting teeth.  SAM gets an arm up to block herself and the skull gnashes down on it like a bear trap.  The impact partially spins SAM to the side, throwing her off balance.  The rest of the deadnaught manages to coalesce and get to its feet as SAM releases the second beam mid fall.  The blast lances out south and tears through several blocks, exploding a wide canyon of red hot radioactive concrete

Ask if they have a second shuttle ready to extract for if, nay, when Wil is done kicking undead ass and needs to get extracted as well.

If yes, let's just go. If not, maybe just fly off a bit to make sure we're out of the dangerous area, but then we can wait for Wil?
