[CCrusaders] Bert says, "Log on."
Wanda has arrived.
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Is everyone here?"
Wanda sets fire to Peregrine.
Taleslinger shouts, "You havent seen the last of Taleslinger! Now goodbye forever."
Taleslinger has disconnected.
Peregrine exclaims, "Eeagh! I'm out of here!"
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "Bert?"
[CCrusaders] Alex says (to Eben), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Bert is evil."
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Hey, my ohomemsg has a typo!"
[CCrusaders] Bert is here and logging!
Eben asks (of cp), "The apostrophe?"
Wanda says, "Hey, that disconnect was supposed to be a ohomemsg"
Cuddlepaws exclaims (at eben), "Yes!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I think Jacob is idle, but hopefully will wake up shortly."
Eben says, "I vaguely remember noticing it a while back, but of course you're not *on* at that point to mention it to, and then I figured it might be on purpose, given the context."
Cuddlepaws says, "It's actually a Futurama quote"
Cuddlepaws says, "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFn7-2Z7uv0"
Wanda says, "Ah, Futurama, that one series I have not seen which I will watch one day"
Wanda says, "All my friends reference it."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "In our last session, you made a deal with the d-- director of research and development to borrow the cerebral resonator in exchange for taking on a sidekick, and you paid a visit to an old friend at Quicksilver, Inc."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Yeah, Harry Jenkins"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Once Jacob wakes up, we'll begin this session the next day, as Thuma is leading the group of you, the rest of the Umawa, and Harry Jenkins on a hike out to someplace a little ways outside town."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "In the meantime, is there anything you wanted to have done, brought along, etc. before you left this morning?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "A polydyne emitter!"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "I feel like we should do something with Wanda's birth pod, but I dunno what."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "*Mom* pod"
[peregaming] Cuddlepaws asks, "; Important question: What do our space suits look like?"
[peregaming] Cuddlepaws says, "ilac"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Important question: What do our space suits look like?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Well, I will be in my full Raxiss glory, I imagine, since otherwise I'd have to tell Harry about my double identity"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "(And I will be sending telepathy nudges to *not* call me Wanda in his earshot :P )"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(The Umawa don't seem to be bothering with space suits. So any protective gear you choose to wear is up to you.)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "What *shall* we call you?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws wears one of those suits that's for some reason just a glass bowl helmet.
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Use my superhero name! Scarlet Spider! (It'll make all those dialogues so much cheesier and comicbooky)"
[CCrusaders] GM asks (of Eben), "What condition was the pod in the last time we looked at it?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "'Scarlet Spider! Look out!' the innocent fluffy creature called out as the meteorite hurtled towards our heroine."
[CCrusaders] Eben says (to GM), "I'll bring along my notes from studying the pod in the time since we got it. It'll either be just an Aspect we can tag with a fate point, or if there's something I can roll to give it a free tag, I'll do that."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Sounds good."
[CCrusaders] Eben says (to GM), "I think it was just unburied, then driven around a bit, then turned off."
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "I don't remember if we had to fight it?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Oh, yes we did"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "It was Wanda's first major injury in the entire campaign"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Stabbed through the thorax"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Heh."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I do recall Wanda ripping the top off of it in order to get inside of it."
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Oh, right, it fought us on auto-pilot before Wanda got in."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Wanda only vaguely knows how to pilot the thing."
[CCrusaders] genericgeekgirl says, "Ok, one second. I fell asleep."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Aw."
[CCrusaders] genericgeekgirl says, "Could not have caffeine yet today."
[CCrusaders] Eben exclaims, "Yay nap!"
Jacob arrives from the east.
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks (of genericgeekgirl), "Not even tea?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I was worried about throwing it up. I may try som enow."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "When we have a moment, that is"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Sure"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "OK, we only have an hour and a half roughly? Are we ready?"
GM says, "Thuma leads the group of you on a hike through the woods, up a hill, and eventually to a clearing. Filling most of the clearing is a very broad grey stone disc resting on the ground."
GM says, "One top of the disc are: around the outside, a ring of crude wooden benches. In the middle, a pile of barrels and large clay pots, presumably containing supplies."
Cuddlepaws has disconnected.
Cuddlepaws has connected.
[Crows-Nest] Eben says (to GM), "(is bert logging?)"
GM says, "The Umawa climb on, and motion the rest of you to follow. It looks like there's enough room for all of you."
[Crows-Nest] GM exclaims, "Yup!"
Eben adds the large pile of baked goods that Frances made for everyone to the crates.
Cuddlepaws lies on top of a crate.
GM says, "Each of the Umawa take a seat on one of the benches, facing outward. There are six of them, and each one is big enough for 2-3 people to sit on at once."
[Crows-Nest] Eben exclaims, "I didn't realize teh Umawa were so big!"
Eben sits next to the engineer-ish kid.
Jacob takes a seat.
Wanda remains protectively by Cuddlepaws' side.
[Crows-Nest] Jacob puts it somewhere else.
[Crows-Nest] GM says (to Eben), "Hee."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says (to Jacob), "stop seat-posting, please"
Harry sits next to Thuma, with his suitcase open in his lap, taking readings.
GM says, "Thuma gives a signal, and the stone beneath you starts to vrbrate, then lifts up off of the ground and into the air..."
GM exclaims, "It rises until it gets above tree level, then suddenly a spherical violet forcefield snaps into place encircling you!"
Cuddlepaws oohs.
Wanda instinctively flattens herself against the stone, all eight legs twitching nervously. Then she laughs it off.
GM exclaims, "The disc rises further up and up into the sky, and if you happen to be looking down, you can see the forest and the city and, eventually, the entire continent getting smaller and smaller underneath you. The sky above you gets blacker, and more stars appear, until you realize... *you're in space*!"
Wanda asks, "We're in spaaace?"
Eben whistles in appreciation.
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "If only Félicette could se me now!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws | Félicette. Félicette (French pronunciation: ?[fe.li?.s?t]) was the first cat launched into space, on 18 October 1963 as part of the French space program. ... Most of the data from the mission was of good quality, and Félicette survived the flight, the only cat to have survived spaceflight.
[Crows-Nest] Eben | Félicette
GM says, "For a moment, your weight feels uncertain, as the disc turns about, but soon it's back to almost normal, as the craft is hurtling outwards into the outer solar system at an acceleration around one G."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(And... when you're ready, I can elide most of the actual journey. But you let me know when you're ready for that.)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "How's Harry?"
Eben settles in for the journey.
Harry seems frozen. He's not moving. He's just starting at his instrumentts with a glazed, unseeing expression.
Cuddlepaws rolls up on top of the Scarlet Spider and gets ready for a long trip.
Eben asks, "While we're heading out, can you tell us how the Raxiss stole your stone? And where you think it might be?"
GM says, "As you travel, Thuma tells you the story:"
Thuma says, "We use the stone in teams. Each Umawa takes a turn helping to hold the shield."
Thuma says, "One day, Ogwu -- he is a young man who helps milk and shave the Ubo -- walks up to the team who was holding the shield. And he did a strange thing with his hand."
Thuma holds up her and and makes it into a fist.
Thuma says, "Then he took his hand, and he used it to *strike* the others' faces!"
Cuddlepaws gasps.
Thuma says, "Of course, no one could ever have expected such a thing. Between the pain and the confusion, he grabbed the stone and fled."
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Like Jacob does to bad guys!"
Wanda asks, "Ogwu was working for the Raxiss? How? Why?"
Thuma says, "The shield fell, and immediately the Raxiss were here at the border, ready and waiting to fall upon us. We know they must have somehow been behind it."
Thuma says, "We do not know! He never did anything like that before, and no one has seen him since that day."
Thuma says, "Our people were forced to flee and fall back. Many of us, working together, were able to make a much smaller and weaker shield."
Thuma says, "That is there that the rest of us have been huddled together, and where we are going to now."
Cuddlepaws asks, "Was anything strange about Ogwu before?"
GM says, "Over the next few days, Earth grows smaller behind you and Jupiter larger above you, until there's a point where you stop accelerating -- and are briefly weightless -- and turn around, putting the distant Earth overhead. And 'gravity' then returns as you begin decelerating."
Eben has been experimenting to see if 'Fallback Plan' still works at this distance.
Thuma says, "Not at all. He was always a kind and thoughtful young man. But... there have been stories about the Raxiss, that their elders can force their young ones to do things..."
Cuddlepaws says, "I'm a cat, so I wouldn't know personally, but I've seen the same thing happen with humans. Though I think you mean it's some sort of superpower."
GM says (to Eben), "Your experiments suggest that it does, but that it *might* only work one way."
Wanda asks, "Mind control?"
GM says (to Eben), "I.e., if you use it, you might not be able to safely get back here."
Eben resists the urge to do the same experiment with the ocean.
Thuma says, "I do not know that phrase, but... perhaps. Maybe they did find some way to control Ugwu's mind."
Cuddlepaws asks (of wanda), "I know, you sort of have that power, too. But can we shield you weak humans from mind control?"
Eben asks, "Hmm. A similar thing happened with Wanda, once, but we were able to break through by reminding her of her family. Can you tell me about Ogwu, in case we meet him?"
[Crows-Nest] Eben says, "(Rapport; Create Advantage: 'memories of home'?)"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "(Rapport; Create Advantage: 'memories of home'?)"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "+2 opposition!"
Eben rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 -1 0 -1 | Average (1)
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "aww."
Eben is sure he has lots of great stories that are sure to work.
GM says, "Thuma tells you stories about Ogwu and his family and his tending of the Obu. And the aspect is created, but if there's any free invocation, it is alas not yours."
GM says, "Several more days pass, and you notice that the Umawa all seem to be getting pretty tired -- none of them have slept in any of this time."
GM says, "Jupiter is growing larger and larger above you, and if any of you did research ahead of time, you might recognize the moon that you're approaching to be Ganymede."
Cuddlepaws asks (of gm), "Can I try and maintain a bit of the shielding so they may get some rest?"
GM asks (of CP), "Yes! Do you want to just join them as backup, or relieve one of them, or how do you want to do it?"
[CCrusaders] Eben didn't have to do any special research; that was definitely something he just knew.
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "Relieve one of them."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Later: everyone is screaming wordlessly in the vacuum of space. Cuddlepaws paddles, apologetically"
GM says, "Batyi gratefully curls up on the floor for a nap while CP takes his place on the bench."
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Batyi! I was trying to find that name unsuccessfully."
GM says, "The surface of Ganymede is greyish and somewhat translucent, marked with grooves and craters and shadows. You approach it still going at considerable speed, quickly approaching a shadowy crater..."
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "I imagine Jacob sitting next to her and spraying her occasionally with a water bottle, given how cats nap every few hours."
[Crows-Nest] Jacob says, "Aw"
GM exclaims, "...and pass through an opening. You're now inside of the moon!"
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "It's hollow! Just like Earth!"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Last time I went to the moon in an RPG, there were spiders then, too."
GM says, "Inside, twisting columns of crystals connect from the outer shell to a much smaller core deep down below. They glisten, apparently transmitting light like fiber optics to the surface of the core."
Wanda says (to Cuddlepaws), "You shouldn't watch all those conspiracy videos on the internet, Cuddles"
Cuddlepaws has disconnected.
Cuddlepaws has connected.
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "In 'Larklight', a race of spiders lives in the rings of Saturn. They have created a network of webs that connect the various small moons and other objects to each other that circle the entire planet. This is, of course, called the 'world-wide web'."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Heh"
GM says, "You slow down as you approach the core, a tiny planet within the moon. From here, you can see a continent that looks to be about the size of a large European country. There's a landbridge extending to the horizon in one direction."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "he he"
Cuddlepaws looks down in wonder.
Wanda says, "It's beautiful"
GM says, "In the middle is a shimmering violet dome, not unlike the one surrounding you now. Scattered across the land, there are forests and rivers and things, and what look like settlements -- some of which have been razed and destroyed -- but no people."
Eben asks (of Thuma), "When you said that the Raxiss live on 'the other side' of your world, did you mean the outside?"
GM says, "You also see creatures. Large, woolly mammals. Smaller saurian beasts. Flying things, like feathery pterodactyls."
Cuddlepaws's head darts from side to side, trying to take it all in.
GM says (to Eben), "She seems to have trouble focusing on your question -- she's apparently having trouble keeping her eyes open -- but she indicates 'no' and points to the land bridge."
GM says, "You *also* see a number of black pods. Some moving around on the ground. Some flying through the air."
GM says, "One of them... flying directly towards you."
Wanda asks, "Guys?"
Jacob oh.
Wanda exclaims, "I think we have incoming!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "And so we call for initiative!"
GM clears the initiative.

[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Nonhumans have faster reflexes than humans"
GM exclaims, "You are about five zones away from the dome below, and the pod approaching you opens fire!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "They are slow, but useful for opening cans of tuna once in a while"
GM asks, "How will you defend yourselves?"
Eben asks (of Thuma), "Can we breathe the air here yet?"
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Extra shielding outside the pod!"
Thuma says, "Maybe... it is thin, this high up."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at CP), "OK! Defend with your Will!"
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: -1 +1 +1 0 | Great (4)
Jacob sets her current fate point total to 3.
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws asks, "Woudl this count as attempting to maintain my barriers?"
Wanda sets their current fate point total to 2.
GM sets his current fate point total to 4.
Cuddlepaws sets her current fate point total to 2.
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Exactly."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Stop using Will as a human shield, guys, he has feelings too! :D"
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: -1 0 0 0 | Superb (5)
Eben sets their current fate point total to 2.
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "What are they firing at us?"
[Crows-Nest] Jacob says, "I hope it's marshmallows!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Energy blasts!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Blast:"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Go ahead and RP your defense!"
Cuddlepaws jumps onto barrels and runs right up to the edge of the shield. A pane of blue shielding shimmers into existence outside the pod, and green (?) energy blasts bounce off it harmlessly.
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) CUDDLEPAWS/WANDA(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Thinking"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims (at wanda), "You first!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Shall I go first? I already have an idea"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Please fo"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "*do"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks (of gm), "Would one of their energy blasts count as an object for purposes of TK?"
[Setting the zoned flag.]
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Hmm. I feel like I should say no, but I like where you're going with this, so yes, it would."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Return to Sender!"
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: 0 0 +1 +1 | Legendary (8)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Attack with Will"
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 -1 +1 -1 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "woohoo!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Wow -- it takes a two stress box and a severe consequence -- what is it called?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Hmm... "Should this be on fire? I don't think so!""
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Or maybe someone has a better idea"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Overloaded With Energy"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Systems Overload"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I like System Overload"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Play it out -- and when you're done, it'll be Wanda's turn."
(From Cuddlepaws) An Energy blast hurls towards the ship, but at the last second, it whips, under our ship, circles around over it (sizzling awfully close to our own shield), and flies back at the enemies' crashing right back into one of their main guns (which explodes). "That's right you dog bastards!" snarls Cuddlepaws. "Fetch!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Also, if I didn't say: the pod is three zones from you, and you're both five zones from the dome below.)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "My plan is to jump onto the pod!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "It'll be hard but I think I can do it!"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Hmm, why did I think it was a pod swarm? Anyway."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Excellent! Does your Agility say how far you can jump?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "It says I can fall from any height"
[CCrusaders] GM says (to Eben), "Probably because I said there were lots of pods down there -- I just only mentioned one that was going directly to you. (Yet.)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "The hardest part is controlling my fall"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Ah, got it."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at Wanda), "Sounds good -- let's call that a +5 Athletics Overcome!"
Wanda rolls Great (4) + 4dF: 0 -1 0 -1 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Okay, so that's going to require some fate points."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Oh no! Are you going to do anything about that, or -- OK!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(The alternative being: Wanda is falling for this turn.)"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "Something in my apartment is occasionally giving a low power beep and I can't figure out what."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "I'm a fiery alien spider, so I can steer my fall with short bursts of flame. (Invoking High Concept)"
[Crows-Nest] (from GM) Cuddlepaws' headband slowly dims.
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Woo! That brings you up to 4."
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws asks, "Do Kindles give audible low power warning? Probably not, right?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Can I succeed with a minor cost now?"
[Crows-Nest] Jacob says, "No"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Alas, you need to tie to succeed with a minor cost, and the opposition was 5."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Terrible timing: [CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Can I succeed with a minor cost now?"[Crows-Nest] Jacob says, "No""
[CCrusaders] Wanda says (to GM), "Okay, I see."
[Crows-Nest] Jacob says, "True, though."
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "I'm an Apprentice Polymath!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "So I know some rudiments of aerodynamics!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Excellent! Go for it!"
Wanda spends a fate point, leaving them with 1.
Wanda spends a fate point, leaving them with 0.
Wanda exclaims, "I'll be back!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "Is a bad player, because he imagines where the steering flames come from."
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "#logistics If we're decelerating towards the surface of the planet, we're presenting the pod with the bare rock side of our 'ship', right? Is the attacking one coming from the side?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Let's say below and to the side."
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "aha, it was my Bluetooth speaker."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "If that makes sense."
Wanda jumps, plummetting down through the atmosphere! Short bursts of flame correct her trajectory, coming out from the tips of her legs/other extremities. With just the right timing, she steers her fall and lands gracefully atop the pod, all eight legs alive with fire! 'Ha! I made it!'
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) EBEN/JACOB(1)
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Go Wa...Wonderspider!"
Eben attemps to rally the troops, reminding the Umawa that they're almost home!
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Sufficiently advanced falling is indistinguishable from flight ;)"
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "Create Advantage for their defense 'almost home', Rapport?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Create Advantage with Rapport? Sounds good to me!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "yay"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "It'd normally probably be +1, but they're sleepy, so +2."
Eben rolls Good (3) + 4dF: -1 -1 -1 -1 | Poor (-1)
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Good lord."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda exclaims, "!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Oh dear."
[CCrusaders] Eben exclaims, "I am spending a fate point to re-roll!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Phew!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda asks, "Has Eben rolled higher than a 1 so far?"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "'Adopted or not, you're all my kids' ;-)"
Eben spends a fate point, leaving them with 1.
Eben rolls Good (3) + 4dF: -1 -1 +1 0 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Much better -- you get a boost!"
[CCrusaders] Eben exclaims, "I'll take the boost!"
Eben is reminded of rallying Wanda's mom late at night after watching fireworks.
[Crows-Nest] GM is confused for a moment before he realizes that means Martha.
Eben exclaims, "Hey, look! I think I can see your village! The shield is holding! We're going to make it in time!"
[CCrusaders] Eben exclaims, "And, Jacob!"
Jacob does that investigation thing that the GM loves so much. (I have super sight, so I presume I can make out details from here?)
Jacob spends a fate point, leaving her with 2.
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "Target?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Ooh -- this is from a distance, so +4."
Jacob rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: -1 -1 0 0 | Great (4)
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "GRRRR"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "What is with you guys and dice today?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Do you want to tag something to reroll?)"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "Trying to decide what's good here. Maybe I'm feeling protective?"
Jacob spends a fate point, leaving her with 1.
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Jacob wants to tag a building with angry graffiti about how dice suck."
Jacob rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: -1 0 +1 -1 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Fine. That's one aspect."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "OK! Let's say that what you discover is:"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "And Opening In The Dome!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Er, *An* Opening In The Dome."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "The Dome are hiring"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "There's a weak spot -- it could be your way in, but it might also be a weakness that you'll need to defend against atttack!"
Jacob peers and hmms a little, and then points this out to the others.
Jacob advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
GM says, "The Umawa continue to pilot the disc downward. It's moving in kind of a wobbly course, as CP is the only pilot who's really fully awake right now."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Can someone make some coffee?"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "CP: only driver in the team on earth, only pilot in the team in space"
GM says, "You're now four zones from the dome. The pod that Wanda is on is still flying; it's also now four zones from the dome, and only two zomes from you."
GM exclaims, "And a second pod begins to move toward you! It's still out of range, but it's approaching quickly!"
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
GM says, "The pod that's already engages you lets out another volley, minus the one gun that CP destroyed:"
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 0 -1 0 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Defend!"
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: 0 0 0 0 | Fantastic (6)
GM exclaims, "With style!"
GM says, "(Which lets you either get a boost or use a special effect.)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "hey, i Still have some special effects!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Yes! Which you mentioned that you never remember to use!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(And if it's all one power suite, you can use either of the special effects with any of the powers in the suite.)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Do we want an Aspect on the pod? I think Wanda might find that helpful? How about "Low Batteries?""
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Sounds good!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "With one free invoke!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Am I waiting for CP to roleplay, or?)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Oh! Sorry!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Ha. It's OK! You're next anyway, so:"
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) CUDDLEPAWS/WANDA(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Is it fair to assume we'll have some empty barrels on board?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Sure!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Attack with Will! Hurling a barrel through the opening into the pod (hopefully hitting someone/something)"
Cuddlepaws exclaims (at jacob), "Duck!"
Jacob asks, "Where?"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Yay!"
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: 0 0 +1 +1 | Legendary (8)
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 0 +1 +1 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "A 1 stress box and a moderate consequence!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Er, and a Minor, I mean."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Sorry.)"
Cuddlepaws hurls a barrel out of our shields (nearly missing Jacob) and into the opening of the enemy pod! From there, everyone can hear the universal sound of "Ouch!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, ""Six-legged pilot""
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "This is the pod that Wanda is on top of, right?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Yeah"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda asks, "Or the one that's incoming?"
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "The other one is still out of range."
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "I thought ...timing"
[CCrusaders] GM asks (of Wanda), "It's your turn -- how do you react to that?"
[CCrusaders] GM asks (of CP), "Also, what's the minor consequence?"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, ""Six legged pilot""
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Ah, right."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Because the barrel landed on the other two"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Well, I'm a litle startled, but I start using my super strength to rip off the enemy guns, disarming it"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Nice! Create Advantage, Physique, +4."
Wanda rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: 0 +1 0 0 | Fantastic (6)
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(And yes, of *course* Super Strength.)"
GM says, "You succeed! It is Disarmed! Advance the init whenever you're ready."
Wanda exclaims (at CP), "HEY! CAREFUL WITH THOSE BARRELS! I'LL SHOW YOU HOW YOU DISARM AN ALIEN SPACESHIP!"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "We now have four aspects on the pod we can tag ;-)"
Wanda rips off each of the pod's guns with the titanic strength of her fangs, discarding them into the void!
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "(and it only has one moderate consequence left)"
Cuddlepaws says (to wanda), "It's technically not an alien spaceship to you."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "RIP pod. We hardly knew you."
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "And there's another pod in the distance?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Alien Pod Challenge"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Yup! It's...let's say four zones out."
[CCrusaders] GM asks (of Wanda), "init next?"
Eben asks (of Thuma), "Is there anything special about this rock in particular? Like, do you need it if you want to fly again, or will any old rock do?"
Wanda advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) EBEN/JACOB(1)
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "sorry"
Thuma says, "We have tools. We can make a new one."
Eben asks, "Once we're a little closer, I can make a portal that we can use to get us all back into your home, at which point the rock itself would make a great falling weapon. Does that sound good?"
Thuma says, "Home sounds... *very* good. Yes."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Would it, by any chance, be roughly tank-sized?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Sure!"
Eben says, "Sweet. OK, steer this thing so it's aimed at that other pod..."
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "Create advantage with Shoot?"
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "Aiming the rock/ship at the second pod?"
[CCrusaders] GM says (to Eben), "Hmm. Give me a clearer idea of what exactly you're trying to do."
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "My plan is to aim the ship directly at the second pod as it falls, then portal everyone out before it hits."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "So you're positing that the second pod would be below you?"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "(but we're still four zones away, so I can't make the portal connection yet)"
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "Yes?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Hee."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I hadn't been planning it to be, but sure! OK, it's now below you."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I think that steering the disc would be Will from Thuma, except that sh'es exhausted, so her will is at +0."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "And you can roll for her, adding any aspects you consider appropriate."
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "I guess I'd be helping, for a +1."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Sounds good!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda asks, "...should Eben really roll for her, given his low rolls?"
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Hee."
Cuddlepaws has disconnected.
Cuddlepaws has connected.
[CCrusaders] GM says, "And since the other pod is going toward you, opposition +2."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I mean +1."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Sorry, typo.)"
[CCrusaders] Eben asks, "Or I could create advantage for her with shoot, then roll for her will?"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "What are you shooting?"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "Enh, I'll just help directly."
[CCrusaders] Eben exclaims, "The ship!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Hee."
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "I guess maybe that's more drive."
[CCrusaders] Eben exclaims, "OK, straight will!"
Eben rolls Average (1) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 +1 | Average (1)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Tie! Boost!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says (to eben), "I have a CDE for moving tank-sized objects, if this goes south"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I have absolutely no idea what to do with my turn."
Eben helps Thuma aim the rock at the second pod, and readies his portals!
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "They have bird creatures!"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "The pterodactyls?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Yeah."
[CCrusaders] Eben passes things to Jacob!
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Assuming they count as birds, I'm not sure what I'd like them to do."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "They do!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "They coudl try to distract the second pod"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Hm, ok"
[CCrusaders] Eben says, "(I am leaving in a minute; assume that I set up portals between the ship and the dome on the land on my turn that we can get through.)"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "OK!"
Jacob sends a cautious thought out to the bird-like creatures, "Hi? Can you hear me? Could you help us by distracting that pod over there?"
Jacob rolls Good (3) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 +1 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Rapport! Create Advantage, +3 opposition."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Success!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Nice!"
Pterodactyl says, "WRAAAK? YES. FRIEND? WE HELP!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "Vrak eh."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Woo, what's your Aspect?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(And do you want to narrate them or should I?)"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Feathers in their faces? I'm being silly."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Feathers In Their Faces it is!"
(From Jacob) The pterodactyls swarm the other pod, blocking their vision and just generally being a nuisence. (I presume they also poop all over it.)
GM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
GM says, "You're three zones from the dome. One more zone, and you'll be close enough for Eben's portal."
GM says, "The first pod follows you, and is also three zones from the dome and only one from you."
GM exclaims, "The second pod is trying to catch up -- it's now within range of you, but it's beset by a flock of featherdactyls!"
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
GM exclaims, "The first pod, being weaponless, instead guns its engines to try to get ahead of you!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Overcome -- any active opposition that would interfere with this?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Me."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "OK! What do you do to oppose?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "That sounded badass."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Well, I burst into flames and cloud their line of sight with fire"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "OK!"
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: -1 -1 0 +1 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Roll whatever you roll for defending with fire!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Provoke!"
Wanda rolls Great (4) + 4dF: -1 -1 +1 -1 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Ooh -- they'll succeed with a minor cost unless you do something to change that."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Are you good with that?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "There are invokes on that pod, right?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "There are!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Didn't CP create some... what are they?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Six-Legged Pilot, aha"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "I'll use that"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Narrate!"
GM says, "Meanwhile, the second pod *tries* to attack you with its own guns."
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 +1 +1 0 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Shields!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Will Jacob or CP be defending?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "OK!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Oh, Jacob can?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Well, he's got featherdactyles."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "So arguably he could try to interfere with Rapport."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks (of jacob), "How do you feel about that?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "Would I get the +2 to rapport since bird?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "That makes it a +3"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Yup."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I can try, then, sure."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Woo."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(And you have your free invoke on the aspect if needed.)"
Jacob rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 0 -1 +1 | Good (3)
[CCrusaders] Jacob uses that invoke
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "(I have my narration ready)"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "What happens on a tie again?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Then it's a tie! No damage, they just get a boost."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Ok"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at Wanda, Jacob), "Narrate at will!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Whichever one goes last, advance the init.)"
(From Wanda) The Raxiss pilot inside the pod is already struggling to use the controls, what with two of his eight legs missing. And then he sees a veil of flames pour over every window, every sensor, but somehow remaining just superficial enough to block vision without being lethal? What sorcery is this? A voice speaks inside his head, in a language he does not know, LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE.
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "I'm done."
GM asks (of Wanda), "And *you* hear, in your mind... some kind of strange clicks and screeches and whirring sounds?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks (of wanda), "Are you good for taking Pod1 down this round? Then I'll focus on Pod2?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Sure!"
GM says (to Wanda), "Which you somehow intuitively sense must mean something like 'What the #&$^ is going on?!?'"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Team work."
Jacob calls out to the pterodactyls, "Hey, we need a little extra help right now?" and so they completely black out the window of the pod, causing the pilot to divert slightly, so the beam misses us.
Jacob advances the initiative: GM(4) CUDDLEPAWS/WANDA(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "How close are we to the ground?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "You're three zones from the top of the dome, which is another zone from the ground."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Ah, hm."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Then I'll just plain attack Pod2 with TK (using another one of our barrels)"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "OK!"
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: 0 +1 0 0 | Epic (7)
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: +1 0 -1 0 | Good (3)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "A two-stress box and a mild consequence!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "*Dented Windshield*"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Narrate away, while meanwhile: Wanda?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Ah, my turn! Well, I'm trying to think of a way to destroy the pod without killing those inside it"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Suggestions from the peanut gallery?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Crash it into the water?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "get them to surrender?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "scare them?"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "I think Provoke is the intimidation-y skill, isn't it?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "yep"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Are you thinking of a Mental Attack with Provoke?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Yep!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Go for it!"
Wanda rolls Great (4) + 4dF: -1 +1 0 +1 | Superb (5)
GM rolls Average (1) + 4dF: -1 +1 0 +1 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "remember we have ... oh nevermind"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "That will be enough to take out the pilot completely! Roleplay it!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Fortunately, he's a nameless minion.)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "'Take out' meaning he panicks and steers away?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "That's up to you!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "He is defeated and no longer a part of this conflict, and you can decide what form that takes."
Wanda forces her head inside the pod, her fangs dripping with pure fire controlled by her mind! All eight of her blue eyes stare piercingly into the Raxiss pilot's soul. He cowers in pure, utter fear, letting go of the controls in order to huddle as far away from her as possible, making terrified whirring and clicking sounds. The pod switches to autopilot, beginning a safe descent.
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) EBEN/JACOB(1)
GM asks, "Eben is presumably busy helping Thuma steer. So, Jacob?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Sure, one sec.,"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "So we've still got the other pod, so.. let me think what I can ask the flying things to do for us here."
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "What are these things made of and how strong are these pterodactyl friends?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "The pods are made of metal, but your flying friends are as strong as you can mentally encourage them to be."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(I.e., their strength = your Rapport rolls.)"
Jacob calls out, "Hey, friends. Can you pierce the pods with your talons?"
Jacob says, "Or break any glass windows?""
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "or carry off pilots?"
Pterodactyl says, "WRAAKKK! CAN TRY!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Their windshield is already dented!"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "They'd have to reach the pilots first!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Is that an Attack?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Yeah"
Jacob rolls Good (3) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 0 | Great (4)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "You can tag consequences, right?"
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: +1 +1 +1 +1 | Epic (7)
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Yeah, once each"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Oh christ"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Oh, wow."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "The pilots of the pod apparently have amazingly good dice!"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "What's taggable still? (i.e. didn't go away with the other pod being taken out)"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Good question! (I've been trusting you guys to keep track.)"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I see some stuff in the google doc, but I'm not sure what came from where, and the consequences aren't here"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Opening in the Dome !"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "That doesn't make sense here?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Dented Windshield?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Ok, that's one. (and it's not on the list!)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I just added it"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Thanks"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "they can fly through the opening!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "For the sake of doing math: it has a one-stress box free, plus mild and severe consequences."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I think lpsmith usually does this"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Yeah, I"m just not seeing how them flying thorugh the opening is helpful, unless they can get *us* in there faster."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Which wasn't what I'd asked for"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Fair. Wanda suggested abducting the pilot, though. And that would be hilarious."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "you'd need 8 of them though :P"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Ok, well, bringing it up to a 6 means nothing happens, and they dn't get a boost"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Correct."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I guess I'm happy with that"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Which consequence are you invoking for that?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Dented windsheild"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Sounds good! init next whenver you're ready."
Jacob advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
GM says, "You're two zones away from the dome, and through the weak spot, you can see you're within portalling distance of the ground, but it'll be a tough shot."
GM says, "The first pod is a zone away from you, but instead of attacking or pursuing, it's beginning a safe descent, moving away from you and the dome."
GM says, "Meanwhile, the second pod is still approaching, and it's now two zones away from you."
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
GM exclaims, "The second pod, while attempting evasive maneuvers around Jacob's fathery friends, fires its weapons at you!"
GM exclaims, "And it tags Soldier of the Raxiss Empire, because I haven't spent any fate points this session!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Shields!"
GM rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: 0 0 0 +1 | Fantastic (6)
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: -1 -1 +1 -1 | Great (4)
GM spends a fate point, leaving him with 3.
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "How do you handle the two stress?"
[CCrusaders] GM | If the attack succeeds, you may either take the shifts as mental stress or allow the barrier to shatter and take mental stress equal to half of the shifts, rounded down.
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Mental stress!"
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) CUDDLEPAWS/WANDA(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Narrate as desired, as it's your turn next!"
Cuddlepaws is writhing as if the bolts are hitting her. Her shield flickers, but holds.
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I wonder if I should straight attack Pod2 or Create Advantage."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Up to you!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "(Also, will Eben portal us this round?)"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Probably!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims (at gm), "I was asking my fellow players!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "I may also need help jumping back up"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I was about to suggest that one of you puppet him."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Maybe Jacob, since they're on the same init."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I can barely puppet myself!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws asks (of jacob), "How are your dad jokes?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "hahaha"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says (to Jacob), "have the baby do it then"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "ha"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "never too early to start playing RPGs"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says (to j&W), "See my question earlier"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I don't know. Attack? Up to you."
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks (of CP), "Are you in any way worried about Wanda being left behind?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "That might be a factor here."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Oh! Hm. I could TK Pod1 back up to us again."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Or Eben could teleport you down first."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Seems good, since it'd still continue descending either way"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "(it's on autopilot)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "My advice: go for the option that feels more spectacular to you"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Fun is the name of the game!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "(Wait, it's called Fate, not Fun? darn it)"
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "I was waiting for you to say thatt."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Well, given Wanda's uncertain situation, I'll rather attack."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Woo!"
Cuddlepaws grabs yet another barrell and hurls it at Pod II!
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Interplanetary war!"
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 0 | Epic (7)
GM rolls Good (3) + 4dF: +1 +1 0 0 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "It used up its two-stress box, so that gives it a mild consequence!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Narrate and name it!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "a barrell is a barrel filled with Purell"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, ""Dented Wing""
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(And it's Wanda's turn whenever you're ready for her to go.)"
Cuddlepaws hurls yet another barrel from their dwindling supply and only as it flies past it she realizes what's written on :
Cuddlepaws says, ""CAT FOOD"."
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "BUT AT WHAT COST"
Cuddlepaws says, "But it crashes into the wing of the pod, which starts to smoke a bit."
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Nooooo!"
GM asks, "What's that smell? Burnt fish?"
GM asks, "Wanda?"
Cuddlepaws solemnly, "Smoked salmon."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "No! It's Laurence Fishburn(e)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "So, I'm going to jump again!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "It's going to be hard! I have no fate points left!"
GM says, "Fortunately, you're much closer than you were the first time, so it's just +3 opposition now."
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Is the opening in the dome closer?"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Closer than the disc?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "yeah"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Same distance, but it's below you, so easier -- +2."
Wanda rolls Great (4) + 4dF: +1 +1 -1 0 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Are you going for the hole?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Someone did not skip leg day (8 times in a row)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Hole it is!"
GM says, "As you pass through, you see the huddled masses of Umawa down below, looking up at you... in absolute terror."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(init next whenever you're ready.)"
Wanda lands gracefully, her eight legs cracking the earth beneath them. She tones down the fire and stuff immediately, seeing as she's surrounded by terrified people.
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Who's playing Eben?"
Wanda tries to emit friendly thoughts. Friendly thoughts! And look friendly!
[CCrusaders] GM says, "His sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P0Heoyu0WOG2bltI9Kds32H8Xz1zClHe/view"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I'll try"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "If you opt to two to create the portal, from this distance, through the hole, from a moving craft, that'll be a +7 Overcome with Shoot!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(I have no idea where that extra 'to two' came from.)"
(From Cuddlepaws) Eben says, "We need this aliens like a hole in the head! Speaking of holes, let's get down there!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Does he get any bonuses?"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "This isn't the first time CP has impersonated Eben! Remember the writers' strike"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Not to this roll, I don't think."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Here goes nothing"
Cuddlepaws rolls Great (4) + 4dF: +1 -1 +1 +1 | Fantastic (6)
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Close! Do you invoke anything?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "hm"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "(Knowing that you can use Eben's fate points and his Aspects)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "opening in the dome has 1 free invoke!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "ooo"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "exciting"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "which if it isn't appropriate here, I'm not sure when it would be"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims (at gm), "using that. +8!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Success! There's now a hole in the floor that's looking out at a bunch of upside down Umawa on the ground!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Does Eben use his move to go through it?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I figure Eben would want to Umawa to go first."
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) EBEN/JACOB(1)
GM exclaims, "Jacob!"
(From Cuddlepaws) Eben says, "Everyone through there!
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "Can I usher Umawa through as I go?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "Or just move through myself?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Sure, that'd be a Rapport overcome, if you're just using friendly encouragement."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "+2 opposition, since she's tired and dazed."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I can.. try. With my +1, heh."
Jacob rolls Average (1) + 4dF: 0 -1 +1 +1 | Fair (2)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Success with a minor cost!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Do you want a cost, or should I?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "They now all thing jacob is a bit of a bully"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Er, I mean, do you want to pick the cost, or...)"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "I dunno"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "You may"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Jacob and most of the Umawa make it through tthe portal, stumbling and rolling on the ground outside -- the Umawa are so tired, that more or less as soon as they fall onto the ground, they pass out and are asleep."
GM says, "Except of course for Batyi, who was already sleeping, and is still curled up on the floor of the disc."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Assume that was in the room.)"
GM advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
GM asks, "You're now just one zone from the hole in the dome. The second pod is only one zone away from the hole and from you. The disc and the pod are roughly pointing toward each other, as per Eben's earlier Aspect, but with no one left to pilot it...?"
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
GM exclaims, "The remaining pod takes another shot at you! And invokes its Soldier of the Raxiss Empire aspect!"
GM rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: 0 +1 +1 -1 | Fantastic (6)
GM spends a fate point, leaving him with 2.
Cuddlepaws rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: +1 -1 -1 -1 | Great (4)
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Another shifts -- how will you handle them?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "I tag stubborn bugger!"
Cuddlepaws spends a fate point, leaving her with 1.
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Woo! So they just get a boost!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Yeah"
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) CUDDLEPAWS/WANDA(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
Cuddlepaws squints as bolts hit her shielding! it flickers again, but holds.
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "one sec"
GM says, "It's now just CP, Eben, the sleeping Batyi and the dazed Harry on board."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks (of GM), "Could I use my CDE to steer our ship towards Pod II and then jump through the portal?"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Yes! What are you doing about Eben, Batyi and Harry?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "oh, wait, hm. I'm not big enough to carry anyone."
Cuddlepaws asks (of gm), "Alt: Can I use my CDE to tilt *our* ship so all the sleeping people slide into the portal?"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Is that what your CDE says?"
[CCrusaders] GM | You can use your mental powers to lift something up to the size of a tank and hurl it, either to destroy a wall or similarly robust obstacle, or to attack every target in your zone or an adjacent zone.
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I think that's a pretty smashy sort of thing."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "I really wish I'd chosen to hop back onto the rock"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "but I was carried away by the heat of the excitement"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Yeah, unfortunately no. Well, I don't see any thing but hold out while Eben saves people!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "You could also try to save people?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Wait!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "can't you levitate Batyi?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Is Harry and oir Batyi lying on a bench?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Harry is on a bench!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Then I'll move that (gently) through the portal, with him on it."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Excellent -- overcome, human-sized obstacle."
Cuddlepaws rolls Great (4) + 4dF: 0 +1 -1 0 | Great (4)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Woo!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Successs!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Narrate, and then it's Wanda's turn."
Cuddlepaws focuses on a bench, herself now blinking with tiredness and sleep. She grabs one of the benches and slides it (with a terrible screeching sound!) across the stone platform and into the portal.
GM says (to Wanda), "You're now on the ground. You're surrounded by Umawa. Some of them seem to be trying to create a second shield around you, but they're clearly too weak at this point. Nearby is a portal with people pouring through it."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Hmm"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "It seems pointless to try going through the portal to grab Harry"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Harry is the one that CP just pushed through the portal!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Batyi is the one left up there.)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Ah!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Humanoids all look the same to her"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "It takes a whole action to cross the portal, so I'd return only on the next turn, right?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "(I'm thinking)"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Going through the portal is a move, but you only get one move per turn."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "yeah"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "so: rescue Batyi, or pacify Umawa (who are expending precious mental power on me)?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Actually, if you want to use your action to try to rescue Batyi *and* go back yourself, I could allow that as something difficult but possible."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Oooo"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "I'd like that."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Jump in, jump out"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "OK! So going through is your move, and grabbing him and carrying him back through is a Physique overcome, vs. +5."
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "OK!"
Wanda rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: -1 +1 0 -1 | Great (4)
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "So close"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Ooh -- are you accepting that, or...?"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Well, would it be success at a minor cost (such as 'Batyi gets a bit hurt')?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "It would be a major cost."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(E.g., Wanda gets a moderate consequence, perhaps?)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "Ah, ties are minor costs, failure by one or more shifts would be major?"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Right."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Or maybe something that would make things much harder for CP to deal with stuff up there...)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Hmm"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Could it be that the major cost was that"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Or if someone else has spare fate points and knows a good aspect *they* could invoke, they can.)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I would like to note, once more, that people's costs usually end up being bad for me somehow ;-)"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Ha ha."
[CCrusaders] Wanda asks, "*that I tried to grab both Batyi and CP, and knock off her headband by accident instead, while successfully rescuing Batyi?"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Only if CP consents to that! And takes a compel!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "ooh!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I like it"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "(this should not be taken as encouragement to continue to offload all costs on me )"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "haha"
GM gives a fate point to Cuddlepaws.
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Consider 'Meow?' compelled!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims (at wanda), "Narrat your part, I'll do the rest!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "OK!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks (of CP), "Also, do you agree that the headband would probably have rolled into the portal in the process?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Yes please!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "let me finish, I have something in that line"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Excellent."
Wanda leaps over the heads of the bewildered Umawa and scuttles through the portal! Upset at herself for having even thought of leaving Cuddles and company behind, she snatches up Cuddles, then sees the innocent sleeping Batyi out of the corner of her eight eyes!
(From Wanda) She also picks him up with her fangs as well, gently, and dashes through the portal! But...
(From Wanda) ... as she stops to put Batyi down, she realizes that all she has of Cuddles... is Cuddles' headband? Oh no!
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Over to you!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "(Cuddles)"
(From Cuddlepaws) All thought, all higher processes gone from her mind in an instant, CP is now just a scared cat on a loud, flying space ship! She darts away and hides under one the remaining benches.
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) EBEN/JACOB(1)
GM says, "By my count, Eben and CP are the only ones still on board."
GM asks, "What does Eben do?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Dunno about Eben, but luckily I can talk to cats now."
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "Like this, only white : [ENORMOUS URL REDACTED]"
Cuddlepaws says, "Argh"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "wai"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "AHHHHHH"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "So sorry"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "That... that probably doesn't need to be in the script"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Motion to strike that from the record."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "this is what it feels like when CP loses her higher thought processes"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "So that's the noise that CP is making right now."

[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Looking at Eben's sheet, one sec"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(AFK briefly.)"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "He could try and move our portal under CP so she falls through and then jump through himself"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Sounds good to me"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Back."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at CP), "Good idea!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I believe that's handled by his Special Effect (Forced Movement)."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "So if he succeeds with style at his Overcome roll to move the portal under you, you'll fall through."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Moving the portal seems relatively easy, so we'll say it's a +1 overcome with SHoot."
Cuddlepaws rolls Great (4) + 4dF: 0 +1 +1 -1 | Superb (5)
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Woo!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Woo indeed! Tell us all about it!"
(From Cuddlepaws) Eben says, "Just like a trip to the vet, CP. Only this time you can't hurl furniture at me!" He shoots his portal under the bench. CP falls through with a hiss. Eben runs forwards and slides on his tummy towards the portal, falling through it headfirst!
GM says, "Everyone is now on the ground! Up above the dome, the second pod is quickly moving toward the opening. The disc, with no one left to pilot it, is now just dropping like the proverbial rock."
GM exclaims, "Jacob, it's your turn!"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "I guess I want to investigate (the normal way) to find a way to close/seal the opening?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Maybe there's a button ;)"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Go for it! Opposition +2."
Jacob rolls Fantastic (6) + 4dF: -1 0 +1 0 | Fantastic (6)
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Success with style!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I've played enough games to know that he have to activate three generators first"
GM says, "You look around for anything that might help. You see that most of the (conscious) Umawa seem to be concentrating very hard on maintaining the shield."
GM says, "And you remember that the original reason you're here is because they lost their Chagakor stone. And then your eyes fall on Harry..."
GM says, "...who is sitting on his bench, rocking from side to side, clutching the cerebral resonator helmet to his chest."
GM says, "The one with the red crystal in it."
Jacob oh!
[CCrusaders] GM says, "When you're ready, 'init next'."
Jacob says, generally to the other crusaders, "put the helmet on!"
Jacob advances the initiative: END OF ROUND
GM advances the initiative: GM(4) Cuddlepaws/Wanda(2) Eben/Jacob(1)
GM exclaims, "Several things now happen!"
GM says, "The 'flying' disc glances off of the remaining pod. It does some damage, but without a pilot, it doesn't manage to destroy it."
GM asks, "The pod makes a beeline for the opening in the dome -- which will be an Overcome. Is anyone able to do anything to oppose it?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws asks, "Shielding?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Wait, fiddlesticks!"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Meow?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Pterodactyl friends? Unless Wanda has a better idea"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "I hiss at it angrily!"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at Jacob), "Sounds good!"
Jacob calls out, "Hey guys. One last thing? Prevent that pod from getting in here!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "And I'll spend another fate point on the Soldiers aspect."
GM spends a fate point, leaving him with 1.
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "A vertical column of fire to disorient them? seems a ridiculously over the top use of my fire power"
GM rolls Superb (5) + 4dF: +1 0 -1 +1 | Fantastic (6)
Jacob rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 -1 0 -1 | Average (1)
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Oh god."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Oh dear."
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Invoking anything?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "That's probably not good."
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "So you have a +8 with the fate point?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "Or?"
[CCrusaders] Alex says (to Jacob), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that or is it is yes."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Oh, no, +6 with it."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Oh, ok."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Skill is +3. Invoke is +2. Roll itself was +1."
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "So.. I can try to reroll and pray."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "You can!"
Jacob spends a fate point, leaving her with 0.
Jacob rolls Good (3) + 4dF: 0 +1 -1 0 | Good (3)
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "What can I invoke to at least make it not a style?"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda exclaims, "Harry!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "(just joking, sorry)"
[CCrusaders] GM asks, "Have you invoked its mild consequence yet?"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "I don't think anyone has?"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Nope"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Nor me"
[CCrusaders] Jacob asks, "What was it?"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, ""Dented Wing""
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "Works for me"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "So that's a +5 to a +6"
[CCrusaders] Jacob says, "So.. good enough."
Jacob watches and cheers a little as the pterodactyls shove the pod off course
GM exclaims, "The pod tumbles end over end through the hole, falling out of control toward the ground!"
[Crows-Nest] Cuddlepaws says, "Reminds me of my favorite typo in an IF game. "Can you fly an helicopter?" "Off course.""
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "awesome"
GM says, "Meanwhile, the Umawa elders who have been witnessing this whole scene realize what Jacob was pointing at earlier."
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "(the typo, not the pod falling on us)"
GM says, "They didn't understand his words, but they saw him gesturing at the helmet and recognize the stone in it."
GM exclaims, "*Whoomph*! The shield above you becomes solid and whole!"
GM exclaims, "*Phwoooosh*! It expands outward, broadening, engulfing more and more of the countryside!"
GM exclaims, "*Tink*! *Klunk*! *Krash*! It knocks into the other pods that were swarming about outside, knocking them away, as it grows to cover nearly as far as the eye con see!"
[Crows-Nest] Wanda says, "Jacob's been to Eye Con. He amazed everyone there."
Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Woo!"
Cuddlepaws asks, "I mean Meow?"
[Crows-Nest] GM says, "Ha. Whoops."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Oh, and we're now out of initiative.)"
Wanda exclaims (at Cuddlepaws), "Cuddles! Are you okay? Here's your headband!"
Wanda says, "I'm so sorry."
Cuddlepaws says, "Meowmeogrowstopthatittickles I'm allright."
Cuddlepaws rubs against one of Wanda's many legs.
GM exclaims, "And as Wanda lets go of the headband CP, a second shield suddenly appears! Surrounding Wanda!"
Wanda exclaims, "Hey!"
Harry says, "Are... are we on the ground yet?"
GM says, "<TO BE CONTINUED>"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Woohoo!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Wheehee!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I like how FATE can have these scenes that really feel like action set pieces"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "same"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says (to gm), "Thanks"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "You're welcome! And thank you!"
Wanda..GM It was really smooth!
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "And assuming there are no more schedule surprises, we'll be back next week!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Exciting."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at Wanda), "Excellent! I'm glad it all worked!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Too bad we'll have to kill Wanda to gain the Umawa's trust"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "Yeah, I took risks this session, what with jumping off the disc and using up all my fate points in one go"
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "But it paid off!"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "And more importantly, it made for a fun story"
[CCrusaders] GM says (to CP), "Haven't forgiven her for the headband yet, I take it."
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims (at Wanda), "It did!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Jumping on the enemy pod is such a Wanda thing to do!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "I was half expecting her to yank out the pilot and try to figure out how to fly it herself."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "Good idea for next time."
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "I like the way I terrified that pilot though. I mean, if you were piloting a fighter yet and suddenly a woman with flames dancing around her face suddenly stuck her head inside the cockpit, anyone would be scared shitless"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "This was just the Raxiss equivalent"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "I would say it would be unusual"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Indeed."
[CCrusaders] Wanda exclaims, "Anyway, everyone shined in this session -- even Eben when he was puppeteered by CP!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "That's when he did his most important act this session."
[CCrusaders] GM says, "Saving CP."
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "he he"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "aww"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "And look at that, we Europeans get to go to bed at a decent hour"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "How's that for a success with style"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "For that you have lps to thank!"
[CCrusaders] GM says, "(Please don't encourage him to double-book more often.)"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "May he be blessed with better rolls in the future"
[CCrusaders] Wanda says, "So, bedtime calls the good and the wicked alike to blissful slumber"
[CCrusaders] GM exclaims, "Good night!"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws says, "And a Calendar App"
[CCrusaders] Cuddlepaws exclaims, "Good Night!"
