Subject: Good Call YeOlde
Kane heard Lee’s question and could have kicked himself for his lapse of awareness.
“Good call Sgt your right we are in a bad spot tactically, ok take Pearson and Hatherford with you and cover the North and South doors leading to this hallway.” (Area 15 North/South doors)
“First sign of trouble its your call as senior non-com how to proceed.”
Keeping on eye on the LT and the other on the Medic as the three troopers moved off as ordered, he awaited her eval of Harts wound....

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Malius fight pt 2
As Malius watched the mutated maggot turn towards him he could not believe how big it had gotten in the short time since it had first tasted his blood. It had become a wicked chaotic attacking withdrawing attacking once again. This was no enemy that could be calculated and easily defeated through tactics. Though Malius had already hit the flying maggot a time or two no real wound had he dealt to the grotesque creature. In return the wounds it had given him were also small things but combined together with the wounds he had already taken at the nest they became telling, as the Ranger’s strength slowly started to fade.
Then, from the stairs behind him came the calling of a known voice. Geim, one of the parties two Khords was coming, and in truth Malius could not ask for better timing.
As Malius awaited Geim’s arrival he watched the maggot’s maneuvers, judging the right time to block and stab. He thrust his blade up, and sliced a hole in one of the creature’s wings. It did not seem to feel it, but flung itself upon him.
The long, almost metallic teeth took a bite from his shoulder, the same shoulder wounded earlier, only this time right beside the neck, unable to stop himself he screamed in pain. As he recovered from the hit Malius could feel it sucking away his life again, with all the strength left to him and in disgust he pried it away from his neck and threw it away from him.
In a wisp of anger, he wildly hacked at the maggot as it regained its composure and succeeded in hitting it full in the head, yellow-green puss surfaced from its skin.
Then Geim and with him Thondrek arrived wasting no time the two Khords attacked allowing Malius to hard press the thing backwards.
Thondrek threw his torch at the lothsome creature, and right after it a handful of stones that smoldered and burned the maggot’s hide. It squirmed on the floor and yelled out in pain. Then it sprang up and dove at Malius. The ranger and Geimiedefher hacked at it simultaneous, both scoring solid hits and so it fell limp to the floor, dead, before ever closing its yaw on either Sylvari warrior or Khord cleric.
As Malius stood a little uneven, a look of weariness upon his face, he looked to both Khords and spoke
“Thank you Geim and to you also Thondrek, let it be not said that ye two do not know the meaning of a timely arrival.”
With his thank you given, Malius began to move somewhat slowly to the stairs, his intention to descend them once again and find his two small companions....

Subject: A Combat Weary Dwarf
Highnar had to admit even if only to himself that though he lived for combat such as this he was beginning to become tired. With those enemies closet to him for the moment dead and most of the rest still alive attempting to escape. The dwarf took a moment to gain his breath as he followed Brianna forward.
With her long legs Highnar knew he could not keep up with her and with her thirst for orc blood high all he could do was follow her and keep watch on her back.
But if that was all he could do for the moment then so be it he would make sure no one attacked her unseen.....

Subject: Option's
Night City University, Medical Education Laboratory, Science Labs Building – Lower West Side – Night City – March, Friday 13th, 2020, 2:48am
As Croaker bent to help Firewind pick up the body of Mery Deth he should have known that Spiff would want the final word on how this was all going to go down.
Placing the dead girl’s legs back down on the examination table he turned and listened to Spiff saying nothing as the Fixer got totally into his rant.
The Nomad could not help but find it funny at how Spiff reworked the truth to fit his rant. How Croaker had “hired” a Media, how he had “fired” a gren at his head, when in truth Spiff was already past him. How the Nomad had “involved the Cops” when in truth they had involved themselves with no help from anyone. It took Croaker’s entire will power not to blow the fragger away right there and then, but another thought came to him and the Nomad knew what he would do as Spiff put forth his “options”
“So the way I see it, you got two options. You can use the help that's been laid in front of you. I can do everything I can to keep us alive and keep Biotechnica off our scent. OR, you can shoot me, like you're so longing to do and kill off one of your allies in this. I'm not your enemy here, as much as you want me to be. I'm on your side, and I'd be just as fragged on my own as you. So what's it gonna be? Do I need to get a ride out of here in order to stay alive, or are you gonna learn that alienating your friends is a bad idea."
For a few minutes Croaker let the silence in the room hang as everyone waited for him to reply. Though he had not liked it when Jack had told them how the next few days were going to go down he had decided that the best option was to go with the Mob boss’s outline and try to work with Spiff to get their butts out of this mess.
In the course of Spiff’s rant that idea had changed as Spiff showed he would only be happy as the Alpha Dog of the group. Call Croaker hard headed, call him blunt without any common sense, hell call him a pea brained idiot but to this point he had done his best to keep everyone in this group alive.
Motioning to Firewind he again picked up Mery Deth’s legs and moving outside the building transferred her body to Jack’s vehicle. With that done he finally turned to answer Spiff’s question and pick an “option”
“Option 2 without the waste of ammo”
Giving Spiff a long look to let the Fixer know that nothing between them had been resolved he once again climbed into the Van along with any who were traveling with him.
With a last look and nod to Jack he closed the van’s passenger door and gave Bullesye the go ahead to pull away.....

(OOC: Ok I guess it’s up to each player as far as who leaves with whom. It can be said for sure that Peacekeeper is with Croaker and a good bet that so is Bullseye but that’s still Logan’s choice to make. As for the others, Firewind and Scribe that’s your call. If Sui posts any reply to Croaker's option choice the Nomad will not responed but continue as I have posted above.)

Subject: Too Many Cuss words
OK Sui I went through and edited your post big time you just cannot use the words you did in a post on this site. I left some of the words in but *** most of the letters in those words and I pretty much **** all the letters in the rest due to the nature of them.
Dude we have members here that are under the age of 14 and we have parents I am sure checking the sites that thier children log on to for god's sake and role play or no role play those words are a very big no no.
When you PMed me about the post before you put it up on the site to warn me it was heavly against Croaker and offered me a before posting copy I should have said yes but I had no idea you planned on using the words you did.
I am a player in this game and at this site and believe in the freedom to post what you want to a certain extent as long as it fits the game or thread your posting too and does not use major cuss words. But I am a Moderator first and as a Moderator I must ask you to not use those words again in any post, in any game on this site.

Olan in the post one of the Troopers in the room said something about Rangers not having existed in ten years, is that due to the time zone of the game as Ranger units still do exist or at least they did when I was in service.
They smaller by far they the used to be but I believe are still active.

Night City University, Medical Education Laboratory, Science Labs Building – Lower West Side – Night City – March, Friday 13th, 2020, 2:47am
As Croaker listened to Jack’s thoughts on the matter of what to do next he was both happy and pissed.
Happy that Jack agreed with him about the Wild Things yet pissed off as Jack seemed to agree with Spiff on all the rest. Fine, if that’s what Jack wanted then by all means I will use Spiffie boy
“OK Spiff ya heard Jack we need the following..
1st a place to crash as I don’t have the contacts and don’t know of one 2nd a new set of wheels, preferably another van, as we need to get rid of the one we have as it will be up on the cops ‘look out for list’ soon. 3rd we need a resupply of ammo, grens and at least 3 silencers for the SMG’s that Preacher, Peacekeeper and myself are carrying.
Think ya can handle that Fixer”
Turning to Jack once again he spoke to the Mobster in a calmer tone of voice
“Ok Jack thanks for the ice we will be waiting on your call. Hopefully with Spiff’s contacts as you say we will be ready to hit the target you name. Good luck on your end. Ok everyone lets get rolling the longer we’re here, the easier it is to be found. Bullseye once again your driving so get the van started while Preacher and I transfer Mery Deth to Jack’s vehicle.”
As he moved to grab the body Croaker first went up to Scribe and offered his hand. Though he said nothing he hoped Frankie would understand the gesture for an attempt to say he was sorry for not trusting the Media fully.
(I’m assuming he shakes it)
Then turning to Guardian he again offers his hand.
“Thanks for covering Peacekeeper on firescape I owe you one. We'll give you and Scribe here a ride and drop off if the two of you want it"
With his apologies and thanks finished Croaker, along with Firewind grabbed Mery Deth and proceeded to get the rest of the group moving to the van.....

Topic: The Chakran Portal - an Adventure in Audalis
Subject: Alone but for his Ferrets, a Ranger fights... Malius fight Pt 1
With his arrival finally inside the tower, Malius took stock of his surroundings as he re rolled the climbing rope and repacked the pinions and grappling hook. Once finished with his short sword in one hand a brightly lit torch in the other, he moved deeper into the interior and began to search each room as he looked for the stairs downward to the Towers entrance.
To the Rangers surprise everything of value or seeming to be of such was gone perhaps the tower had been raided even before the bears took control. His search of the floors finally took him to the Towers third level, he had encountered no mutated beasts or for that matter any of the party and wondered for the first time what was taking them so long to join him inside.
As he moved through the third floor he came upon a nest composed clearly of the Towers once valuable and magical items, now useless. Crawling over this nest he could see were a few dozen worm like creatures, clearly maggots, yet unlike anything he had seen before for these maggots were three times the size of normal ones and these had teeth!!
For but a split second his surprise was such that he did not at first see that they were headed right towards him clearly wanting to rip and tear him apart. Then the surprise was gone and torch and sword were at the ready as the maggots reached him.
Maggots piled up around him, crawling over each other to come close enough to take a bite of his flesh. He swung at them with his torch, and stabbed them with his short sword, but where one maggot fell down with punctured hide, another would take its place.
Although they were swarming him, the dark Ranger didn’t have a hard time keeping them off. He was no novice to battle, and would not give away his defense so easily. While teeth ragged his cloths and skin, he kept in mind the goal he had set himself to eradicate these mutated worms.
The fight seemed to easily be going his way but just as he thought he was gaining the upper hand, two maggots penetrated his fire and blade. The first one, digging its teeth hard into his right shin, the second to his thigh did go both sucking themselves to vacuum against the skin. Malius could feel how his blood, and pieces of muscle, were being sucked into the first maggot’s stomach. Not sparing a long look but out of the corner of his eye, his attention yet on the other maggots before him; he could see the creature contract. Instantly, its hide burst open and sprouted short stubs of hard leathery skin. He tried to pry the creature loose, and keep the others at bay, but the attempt resulted only in more pain, as the maggot kept a fierce hold. The other maggots, still a dozen or so kept pressing as well, sword and torch yet in action and no real time to pry the maggots loose.
Then as if sensing his need his two ferrets were there and attacking the two upon him easily dispatching the second but finding the one with wings to be a very different story, both taking a small wounds as it turned its growing wings towards them.
Then as if seemingly done with it’s feeding upon his legs and with the Ferrets attacking it released itself and away it flew further up into the towers heights growing bigger as it went.
As he turned to watch it go the Ferrets not content with their one kill did at once jump over the pile of carcasses at his feet and start the killing of the last maggots yet alive. With the last of the maggots soon to be dead Malius once again returned to the stairs but this time inside of going down as he had before, he went up.
Finally reaching the Towers top once again he raced to follow the winged maggot and found himself once again in the windowed room, the flying maggot before him attempting to escape.
But though the window had been large enough for the Syl Ranger to climb through it was now too small for the maggot to exit, its wings having grown so big. With a cry born out of pain and frustration it turned back towards Malius and attacked.....

Subject: OK Clarifaction
So if I read the almost unreadable words of Jack right
1st) He wants us to hold up for now, no meet, no assault and any gear we need its up to Spiff to get them for us.
2nd) He has agreed with me that the Wild Things are not 100% toast as Spiff thinks. Does that mean he wants Scribe to let the word about the meet?? Hell in real life gangs are very very hard to take out completely.
3rd) Does Croaker have due to his years of running the shadows and from the cops and Ex-female Friends have a Safe House the party can use to hold up and resupply.

Topic: Cerebral Paradox - Cyberpunk 2020
Subject: The problem is Sui
That Croaker does not trust you one little bit especially with a family member on your team. All you have shown him is that your a coward and a fast talking liar and you fit the "never trust a Fixer" role to a T.
Also he was in charge of the party before you got involved and he resents the fact that you have tried to undermine him from that moment on so it will be next to impossible to get what you want from him. In the end the only way Spiff and Croaker’s war of words will end is for Jack to take the imitative and go with Croaker’s or Spiff’s plan or a combo of both.
Now Sui I will say this again just to be sure it’s understood between us that this is not me as the player being a hard head its Croaker. I have played him this way since the beginning of the game and will continue to do so until its end or he is dead for real. Hell ask Brom he will tell you, as I am the only original player left from its start, he is the only one that knows the truth of it .

As Peacekeeper asked her question Croaker turned to answer her.
"Right now Peacekeeper there is no back-up plan this either works or it does'nt. If it does not work I think its gonna be a short life with all of us on the run."
Giving her one of his cocky smiles to show her he was determined to see her and himself safe in the end, he again turned back to face Jack and Piper awaiting the mobsters response to his idea and request for ammo, grens and silencers.....

Topic: Cerebral Paradox - Cyberpunk 2020
Subject: Ok here at least is Croaker's outline
Brom as far as Croaker is concerned he laid out his idea in my last post and is just waiting on Jack to give the go ahead. But to make things easier here is the gist of it…
1st) We make the client think Mery Deth is still alive but that Spiff and Bullseye are running 15 minutes late to the meet, and as Jack was the guy that hired us he makes the call to let the client know as such.
2nd) Scribe takes off with Guardian and tries to get the word out to any surviving Wild Things about the meet and sends them in that direction. If all the Wild Things are as Spiff said "taken care of" then as a back up if he thinks at the time it’s a good option he gets the word out to maybe a rival gang that a big money meet is going down and the Wild Things are involved. If not they make the meet and it will be up to Spiff to explain why Mery Deth is dead and in that regard I wish him luck. Also the whispered message to Bullseye I PMed you has been relaid to Logan.
3rd) Spiff and Bullseye with no delays as the meet is in 10 minutes head right away to it. If hopefully the Wild Things or some other outside force disrupts the meet we wait a few hours then have Jack call to reschedule it for the next day, giving us more time to get some hard info on this drug.
4th) The rest of us Peacekeeper, Preacher Firewind and myself after getting as resupplied as possible with Jack’s help head to the Biotechnia building and using Preachers hacker skills and Firewind’s Med knowledge we try to get incriminating evidence to get us out of the line of fire so to speak.
That’s pretty much it I guess as that post is still up you could always check back to it. In the end we need Jack’s ok and help at least on ammo maybe a gren or two for the launchers we have and maybe 2-3 SMG silencers that I figure his guards should be carrying as he hates public displays.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Introductions of a sort
Fenris waited for something to happen, pistol in one hand, his sawed off in the other though clearly outnumbered he would not go down without a fight. What happened next caught Wolf by surprise.
“Dao!”
The old man clearly in the lead cried out
“I am here Grandfather.”
“Are you hurt?”
“No Grandfather. But I kicked one of them. I am so sorry grandfather. I was scared and he ..”
“Don’t worry about it child. They brought it unto themselves as violence only begets violence.”
With the old man’s approach and Wyatt’s lady friend’s explanation of the previous events Wolf saw that the old man appeared grateful and for the moment not hostile and was proved the next minute with the man’s words.
“Thank you. Many a man or women are there who would have walked pass and pretended to not notice. Others would resort to guns and killing immediately to make their point. I thank you for your aid and am honored by your restraint.”
With his guns holstered, pistol in a shoulder holster, sawed off at his right hip he almost missed Wyatt’s offer of work.
"Nice t' see you, Wolf. We was told you might be looking' for work, and as things go, we just had a position open on board Rocinante."
“Well Cap’n look no further I am more then willing to join your crew, be nice to get the hell off this boring place.”
A pause.
“Thank you for this second chance, Cap’n, you won’t regret it”
His hand out and the deal sealed by a handshake, Wyatt nods his head towards the beautiful lady at his side.
"This is Willow, the ship medic and communications specialist. Willow, meet Wolf; mechanic, and hopefully a good enough one t' keep us moving through the Black.”
Taking the lady Willows hand in his Fenris proceeded to kiss it.
“Greetings My Lady Willow, whatever you need of me I am at your service me lady”
With his gentleman’s greeting of the lady over, he once again turned to Wyatt and Dash.
“So where to now gentlemen?”.........

Subject: Starting at the Top
Malius had almost reached the open window when without warning the main doors opened and out walked a blood soaked Draven.
As Draven walked to his horse, though he looked very tired, it was clear that most of the blood covering him was not his and that of possibly the 2nd mutated bear.
Malius found himself for the moment with the choice of continuing through the window, after all he had climbed most of the way up or to reverse his direction and return to the ground. The choice was quickly made as the Ranger continued up and through the window to learn what had truly happened inside the tower.
(OOC: Al as I have no way of knowing that Thondrek went into the tower I will do a search of the rooms and floors from top to bottom, will put anything useful or interesting into a bag for the rest of the party to go over later.)

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: TKO'd
Maximus could tell the discussion if allowed to continue could very well tear the party’s loyalty to each other apart. The Green had finished speaking and was waiting on Maximus’s next action, he did not have long to wait as ex-gladiator raised his sword to deliver the life ending cut then as he had thought all along the "helpless" Green moved....
With sudden swiftness and flexibility, the Green bent himself backwards as the blade descended, dodging the blow. Then he sprang upwards as Maximus tried to correct his swing. Before the big fighter could even react the Green using the base of his wrist extended upwards struck Maximus directly at the base of the nose, the force from the blow sending bone fragments through the brain at a high velocity, killing him instantly.
Or so it seemed to Maximus as he fell back stunned and almost unable to breathe. Lying on the floor, blood freely running from his broken nose, on the verge of passing out. Yet as he lay on the stones of the keep, Maximus could not help but be impressed by the move as he himself had used it in the Arena many times, but the Green’s use of it had been so fluid, so smooth, it was hard not to envy its deadly force.
As to why he yet lived from such a killing move rendered upon him by a true expert was for the moment a mystery as Maximus lay on the ground stunned, bleeding and within moments of closing his eyes....
