    589 KB Transpace Guard Quest B4: Bootleg OP !!Cuw+lR6NxOH 01/27/12(Fri)20:47 No.17701253  
    On a level of reality just below our own, the Crossover began. A thousand walls between fiction and the Metaworld tore open, releasing the hungry forces of Sue from their cannibalized homes. Metaworld itself- connection between Fiction and Reality, and the result of seven billion human's perception of Reality, was nearly rent apart.

    In the aftermath, with millions dead and cities flattened, the Rifts existed still. The group that had managed the feat of slaying the Sues stepped forward to defend these gates between Meta and Fiction. They knew that the only way to restore stability was to keep to the Canon, as thousands of Meta inhabitants disappeared into the worlds of Fiction, intent on their own agendas.

    The name of these guardians?

    The Transpace Guard.

    There are millions of millions of Canons out there. From video games, to books, to movies, to movies, traditional games, and more. The goal of the Transpace Guard is to ensure that nobody fucks with the story, and that Canon is preserved, so that the Metaverse remains stable, and no great castastrophe happens again.

    Even now, valiant heroes fight to restore stability, from countless bad fanfictions, disastrous crossovers, hostile entities in the Meta, and author-self-inserts known as S.U.E.s.
    But they cannot do this with strength of will alone.

    Men need weapons to fight. Ships to traverse the meta. Troops to fight with. And they always need more money.
    That's where you come in.

    Transpace Guard Requisitions is in charge of handling the ins and outs of weapons, troops, and equipment to the brave operatives who seek to maintain stability and wrest the Canon from the cold, dead hands of those who would harm it.

    Oddly enough, not ALL equipment comes directly from requisitions. "Meta" technology, including reality emitters, transit drives, and rewriter bombs, are produced by Black OPs and Black OPs alone. But for everything else, Requisitions can handle it.

    There are 6 main branches of the Transpace Guard Requisitions. In no particular order, they are:

    Manufacturing.

    Featuring a world packed to the brim with as many production and research facilities as a world can handle, if it can be made, Manufacturing can make it.
    They handle the guns, ships, mechanised forces and armor. They handle reverse engineering, and rebuilding.

    Unfortunately, some things cannot be made. Magic, Phlebotinum, and various rare elements.

    Farming.

    Hazardous, tedious, but necessary. They're the guys who pick up the Elerium, mine the Eezo, kill the money spiders every nanosecond for their coins, and satisfy Requisitions' needs for rare materials.
    By going to a canon where items will not be missed, they pick up whatever raw materials they can find and send them back, often killing millions of respawning monsters in the process.

    But of course, you need soldiers to fight monsters.

    (FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN CONTRIBUTING:
    IN EVERY THREAD, I POST ENOUGH OF A RECAP TO GET YOU STARTED)

    Human Resources.

    This is not a nice place to be.
    The goal of requisitions is to take what won't be missed from a Canon, and send it to forces that need it.
    Sometimes, People won't be missed.
    Heroes, Troops, Specialists, Mooks ... all brought here for recruitment. But recruitment isn't always nice.
    By speech, drugs, surgery, magic, brainwashing, false memory implanting, or even outright torture, people here are "Convinced" to work for the Transpace Guard.

    What's more, Human Resources keeps on hand a stack of two useful things:
    Reconstruction units, and Soul gems.
    So when a person dies, so long as their body structure is backed up and their Soul is stored, they can be rebuilt.
    It's standard policy for all people working in Human Resources to wear Soul gems on their bodies,
    and every day, a steady stream of people attempt Suicide, are rebuilt, and are moved immediately into re-education.

    Human Resources is not a nice place.

    Storage.

    A fractal near the edge of reality, with warehouses upon warehouses and boxes upon boxes, built for storing an infinite amount of the most hazardous and volatile substances, and also the most mundane.

    Casualties here rank highest amongst the branches. Monsters roam the infinite halls - monsters carelessly looted and improperly stored break free, and in these infinite halls, nobody can say everything is secure.

    But, they are a minor concern, and as long as Human Resources can keep restoring the box stackers to life, Storage keeps on trucking, having a place for everything, and almost everything in its place. Almost.

    -

    Logistics.

    A tower of glass and steel on Meta-Earth serves as home to Requisitions' Logistics divisions.
    It is their job to know exact counts of every item Requisitions has, where all of them are, what the staff are working on, and how to get items from the other branches to where they are most needed.

    The tower itself creates reality distortions - the weight of the paper alone inside the tower exceeds the total weight of the tower itself, to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of its own forms.

    It may be one of the most boring jobs in the Multiverse. In fact, after 10 years of working here, Soul gems can no longer be used to restore workers, because you can't restore to life a man that lost his soul.

    This brings us to the 6th faction, and the players' faction

    Looting.

    Looting has two jobs.
    #1: Don't fuck up the canon.
    #2: Grab everything you can without violating #1.

    The Transpace Guard keeps a list of worlds. Sometimes, you can't get what you need by farming or manufacturing.
    It's the Looters' jobs to get Staff, unique Items, interesting Technology, Blueprints, and anything that looks like it'd be tricky to make, but easy to grab.

    Looters' casualty rates are second only to Storage, because they go into worlds knowing well what they do will break the Law. but as long as it does not break the Canon, then all is well.

    Looters are also paid extremely well*. Well, if they're good at their jobs.
    Looters have a budget with which to Rent items, troops, and heroes.
    Looters then receive Dosh as a reward for turning in their loot.
    Get a lot of loot, then you get a lot of Dosh, you pay the Rent, and keep the rest for yourselves.

    You, the players, are a small crew of Looters.
    You have a small ship, a small amount of funds, and a very small amount of trust from HQ.
    But, since small ships are cheap and SOMETIMES Looters distinguish themselves, there are thousands of new looter teams every month sent out. And of the 20 or so that come back, over 4.99% of them become rich and famous.

    Things have been going ... less than well.

    M I S S I O N _ B R I E F I N G:
    Scouts have located a mansion showing reality distortions. Surveillance confirmed that there canon characters there, kidnapped and charmed out of their own worlds, to serve as a harem for an obese, hairy, smelly person.
    Scouts maintained position for a week, waiting to catch the Shipper vessel that is selling these women.

    But, no vessel ever came.
    THAT means that, there's something in this mansion that allows the owner to pull women from other worlds.
    Whatever it is, it's useful technology, and we want it.
    Go in there and steal it.

    -

    But that was 3 threads ago.
    After disasterously alerting the entire mansion to your presence, you retreated to regroup, collect more supplies, go over your intel, and re-evaluate your strategies.
    >> Bootleg OP !!Cuw+lR6NxOH 01/27/12(Fri)20:59 No.17701364
    MAIN GOAL:
    #1. Find out what's allowing those characters to come in from other worlds, and swipe it.

    SIDE GOALS:
    #1: Investigate secret rooms.
    #2: There's bound to be lots of loot in this place. Collect all the interesting loot you can. Note that we have no use for jewellery, but particularily unique items, magic items, tech, and powerups are all good.

    SHIT TO AVOID:
    #1: Don't kill any of the girls. You do this, you're fired.
    #2: Injuries to the girls' health and sanity may cause problems in returning them to their canons. Try not to do this.
    #3: Troops and Heroes are expensive to replace. Lose as few as you can.

    Your equipment thus far:
    1 Light Scout ship (it's a Skyranger with a Meta transit drive), contains:
    >1 container of Bounce seeds
    >1 stack of Mario mushrooms

    INTEL YOU HAVE RECEIVED ON THE ENEMY MANSION THUS FAR:
    It is a mansion.
    All the rooms, save the grey areas on the map, are well lit. You cannot scry into the grey areas.
    Cameras overlook 4 of the 5 toilets, the Master bedroom's ajoining toilet is clear.
    Cameras overlook all the Bedrooms.
    Cameras overlook the hallways in the Basement.
    Charmed versions of Canon characters are present here as a security force ... and harem. All have been given shoddy anti-magic rings as protection.
    There is an Anti-magic field covering the entire mansion. It is shoddy, and only guaranteed to be effective against Teleports, but nonetheless it does inhibit spellcasting somewhat.
    There's shit to loot here.
    There may be traps here.
    The enemy knows we're here.

    Enemies:
    1 Princess Peach
    1 Renamon
    1 Chun-Li
    1 Sailor Mercury
    1 Eredar Warlock
    >Buffed with: Fel Armor, Demonic Circle, Detect Invis, 100 stacks of "Charmed" (icon is chocolate cake)
    1 Felhunter (pet to Warlock)
    1 Amalia
    1 Roxanne (Pokemon)
    1 Geodude (pet to Roxanne)
    1 Nosepass (pet to Roxanne)
    1 Miku with large rifle

    COMMON SENSE may be spent:
    1. Automatically, if ignoring or overlooking a piece of knowledge that you have access to, would be hazardous to your forces.
    2. Automatically, if you would enact a plan that would severely cripple you, and which is OBVIOUSLY a retarded plan, that you just haven't noticed.
    3. Optionally, you may spend COMMON SENSE to get a hint from the DM.

    Your knowledge of enemy positions:
    Miku, Roxanne, the Warlock are patrolling the mansion, looking into rooms, but not entering them.
    Renamon is acting as a sentry from the rooftop, acting as a spotter for your approaching forces.
    You have not seen the other enemies recently.

    And, finally, the map key for:

    Grey: Areas you are having difficulty scrying into.
    Pink: Hallways. The left-right ones are the main hallways.
    Red: Stairs live here.

    Roof:
    There are air conditioning units and a chimney. The chimney seems to be decorative.

    Top floor:
    Pink 'B' belongs to Peach. Gaudy, and very pink.
    Blue 'B' contained Mercury. Seems neat and tidy.
    White 'B' is oddly empty and plain.
    Cyan 'B' is chinese-themed
    Yellow 'B' seems hardly used at all. It's plain, but the presence of a training dummy and yellow carpet give hints as to its occupant.
    E is Empty. If you were to step into this area, Gravity would escort you to the floor below.
    T is a Television room.
    Below that is an unmarked Toilet
    W is a Washroom. Bath, Shower, Toilet, etc.
    Below that is a random closet of random supplies.

    Ground:
    Green B seems to be more of a greenhouse than a bedroom, though you DO spot a bed in there somewhere.
    Orange B seems very dark and evil-themed.
    Purple B is neat and tidy, save for some rocks strewn about a makeshift training mat.
    W is still a shower/bath/toilet
    Below that is a food storage area.
    K is a kitchen. Food lives here.
    C is a computer room.
    Below that is a toilet.
    The large open area is an entrance hall. High ceiling, chandelier, dining table.
    G is a Garage, cluttered from disuse. There is no car here.
    R is a gymnasium or training room of some sort.

    Basement:
    L is a Laundry
    H controls central heating.
    Empty white rooms are "Op can't think of what to put in a basement".

    Nightcrawler has a HEARTBEAT MONITOR attached to his HUD.
    What's a HUD? Buggered if I know, but he can see enemy heartbeats. Miku does not show up on this, and neither does the Felhunter or the Geodude.

    When last we left off, the players were enacting a plan to get into the basement. Let's see how well they did...

    It takes 5 minutes of concentrated effort, but Nightcrawler is FINALLY able to direct Benny Hill to enter the mansion. He has lost most of his Pursuers in the process, but nonetheless, he is on the move.
    The Auror sends a rush of Rats and Birds at the mansion to act as a distraction.
    The Birds fly away, and completely ignore the mansion.
    The Rats approach the mansion, warily. They may now serve as a distraction.
    You were not able to find any vents from the basement to the outside world.

    Benny enters the mansion at top speed.
    His first encounter is with the Warlock.
    Death Coil flies forward and into Benny, leeching some of his HP, and causing him to run in a random direction for 2 seconds.
    This changed surprisingly little.

    Miku is Benny's next encounter. Miku takes aim with her chaingun and fires a harrowing stream of bullets with near-perfect accuracy...
    ...each of which barely grazes Benny's skin.
    Benny is frightened considerably, but unharmed, as his clothes are shot to shreds, and his body becomes blurry, pixellated, and naked!

    Benny's third encounter is with Sailor Mercury.
    Mercury charges one attack in the brief window of opportunity she has:
    Mercury bubbles...
    ...FREEZE!
    Benny is now pixellated, blurry, and incredibly cold.

    Benny's 4th encounter is with Amalia. Benny trips over a vine and tumbles down the hallway, skidding to a stop on his face.

    He looks up to see none other than Renamon, eyes closed in anger.
    "You. I'm tired of you getting away. I'm tired of being rendered helpless. I'm tired of WATCHING you try to kidnap people for your own sick amusement. And most of all, I am tired ... of you."
    "DIAMOND STORM."
    Benny is penetrated by a massive storm of diamonds.

    Reality Stability in the area increases greatly, as the cold, naked body of Benny is mutilated by sharp shards of glass.
    Rest in peace, Benny.

    Nightcrawler and the Auror teleport into the lower levels of the mansion...
    ... and straight into a wall. However, Nightcrawler's anti-magic ring glows. A DEEP Crimson, and Nightcrawler feels a shuddering sensation as he's shunted into the nearest open space.

    The Auror reports the charge remaining on the ring:
    It is at 3/4 charge before possible overload
    It is at 3/12 charge before guaranteed overload
    The ring may provide protection against mal teleports, but it does not provide it for long.

    Benny Hill ran into this canon from a freak reality distortion portal thing. He was captured by the mansion's guards and given to the police, but managed to outrun them.

    A lower roll would have resulted in Chuck Norris probably roundhouse kicking everything in sight.

    Right. The auror should cast disillusionment charms on the two of them before rummaging in the basements. We need to avoid cameras.

    Let's knock out the cameras with Disillusionment, use Glisseo on the stairs to make them into a ramp, and possibly throw Arresto Momentum on the ramp as well so that it takes the intruders way too long to get down there, giving us time to prepare. We can collapse the entire stairwell if we need to later, but we should try to not draw attention to the fact that we're here the basement until later.

    So, your immediate plan of action is:

    Stop the basement stairs using slippery oil, turning them into a ramp, and (possibly) collapsing them.
    Is this correct?

    COMMON SENSE used already.

    Do you think that perhaps using Auror magic to disable cameras might fail in an anti-magic field, and it would be wiser to use the Spraypaint and Duck tape you obtained specifically for this purpose?

    COMMON SENSE remains at 1/3.

    So, your plan:
    Wait for the enemy to pass.
    Disable the stairs using a combination of Tacks, Oil, Sliding, Slowing, Stickiness, and other such craziness
    Disable the cameras by having Nightcrawler teleport beneath one and spraypaint it, or rip it out of the wall with his omni-tool, after first checking that no heartbeats are nearby.

    Is this acceptable?

    Not rip, 'remove'. Cut it away with a Holoblade, don't just pull it out. Again, make sure there are no heart-beats nearby. If we had a techie, we might have tried to do some Technobabble Hacking to get them to stream the same 'all-clear' image while we're down here, but that's wishful thinking.

    Nightcrawler disables all the Cameras in the basement that you know of, without incident.
    The Auror has disabled the stairs down. He was not spotted, but the stairs were spotted in their trapped state before they could trap anyone.
    Nightcrawler loots the TM that contains Rock Tomb, and adds it to the bag of holding. It might be of some saleable use.

    >1 chocolate (drugged)
    >10 Candy bar (not drugged)
    >1 Mirror on a stick
    >20 Plastic container
    >1 TM (Rock Tomb)

    Other loot items that you know of:
    >A Sailor Moon transformation wand was left in the washroom on the upper floor.
    >>There is a flower in the green 'P' room more beautiful than any Nightcrawler has seen, and which rivals the beauty of even magically enchanted flowers of Hogwarts.

    There may be others if you search rooms thoroughly.

    the EREDAR WARLOCK is patrolling the basement.
    one HEARTBEAT is patrolling the top floor, currently.
    All other HEARTBEATs have retreated to a spot in the middle of the mansion. You were able to watch them on the monitor as they did so.

    Assuming that the Warlock follows the player-logic used in the WoW games, she's likely an expert in fighting all a manner of people (judging from the armor set she's wearing). She may be an altered player-warlock that the Grognard somehow brought into reality or a *very* low-ranking Eredar. I doubt he would have the sort of pull to subdue a full-fledged one.

    More 'spergin.

    Although since she fired off a deathcoil at Benny instead of fearing him and then loading him up with all a manner of afflictions, she might not be THAT experienced.

    Other things to look out for:
    -Felhunter pet = affliction 'lock. Avoid being spotted at all costs, she can kill us by just sticking fire-and-forget instacast DoT spells on our guys. She may also choose to cast fear on our troopers and then do so. If she gets surrounded, she'll do an aura of fear.

    -PvPer = VERY BEEFY. She will also no doubt have a way to break any initial incapacitating spells we put on her. Her felhunter will also eat magical effects, and can likely sniff out magic.

    -Pets and you: any damage received or knockouts on the felhunter will be known by the warlock almost immediately. The reverse is also true.

    Your primary objective is NOT complete.
    It is 50% complete.

    MAIN GOAL:
    #1. Find out what's allowing those characters to come in from other worlds, and swipe it.

    SIDE GOALS:
    #1: Investigate secret rooms.
    #2: There's bound to be lots of loot in this place. Collect all the interesting loot you can. Note that we have no use for jewellery, but particularily unique items, magic items, tech, and powerups are all good.

    SHIT TO AVOID:
    #1: Don't kill any of the girls. You do this, you're fired.
    #2: Injuries to the girls' health and sanity may cause problems in returning them to their canons. Try not to do this.
    #3: Troops and Heroes are expensive to replace. Lose as few as you can.

    After dealing with this evil, don't forget to look for painting equipment (brushes, palette, paint, anything else...) as a possible magic tool to make these canon-spanning paintings.

    Have we spotted any larger chunk of the anti-magic crystal yet? That could offer excellent protection against evil magics.

    We could potentially throw an almost-overloaded ring at a target (or evil thing we want to blow up) and intentionally overload it as a magic-bomb.

    And how did this grognard make the enslaving chocolates? Anything that looks like a source of those might be worth DOSH / objective completion.

    If we can't pinpoint the source of the evil right away, I vote to move towards any painting equipment, and investigate for magic.

    It could even be in the painting frames, or a magic easel they are painted upon. Start near the half finished painting; if the source of the paintings' power is an item, it should be near at hand.

    Look, scan, but don't approach without caution, as that item could be the source of the evil as well.

    1.) Wish-fulfillment to the max (ew)

    2.) Brainstorming session about how best to kick our asses after discovering trapped stairs (oh shit)

    3.) All available warriors have been called to repel an invader that is distinct from our forces, and is enough of a threat to have the Grognard not care about us going inside and looting the place.

    4.) Summoning ritual conducted by Grognard that requires guardians to protect him/subdue the beastie while he binds whatever he's summoning to his will.

    #5.) An invader who is much more powerful than all the defenders combined has already been in the ground floor, and has already subdued all the defenders and the Grognard and has tied them up/knocked them out and is now patrolling the mansion for whatever reason. Perhaps he/she is after the same thing we are.

    The picture also said HARD MODE ACTIVATED in the text next to the thumbnail. #1 and #3 would possibly be a break, unless we need to co-operate with the mansion defenders to help them to NOT DIE; since they're all bunched up together, though, #2, 4, and 5 are more likely.

    With the ladder, you notice:
    ...A ladder to the EVIL! You take it immediately, and ... run straight into a wall.

    (When using the ladder to spot things, you take a -90 penalty to spot checks.)

    But putting it away, you immediately notice a stone out of place...

    (Had you have used the ladder and rolled a 40 or below, you would have found the way to Princess Peach's castle ... and accidentally walked into the Evil)

    ...pushing the stone reveals...
    No, not the icon of sin. Just an ordinary evil altar. But all the pictures I could find of altars were all casual shit.
    This evil altar is straight out of fucking doom. It has like ALL THE PENTAGRAMS and there's bloodstains everywhere.

    A gem hovers in midair, turning steadily...

    Since all the heartbeats are there, it's likely that the Eredar has already discovered the trapped stairs and/or fell down them a shitton of times. They may be empowering the anti-magic crystal to become more potent, thus cutting off a teleportation method of escape.

    This would coincide nicely with HARD MODE ACTIVATED, and wouldn't require a deus ex machina.

    Sounds Warcrafty. I remember at least one altar setup like that in WoW. Could be typical Eredar magic using sacrifices to gain power. Or much worse.

    LOOK at the crystal, but not directly into it. Has it been chipped or damaged or cut in any way?

    All of them already know we're inside the house due to our blacking out the cameras and trapping the stairs. We still have to find the tools that the Grognard used to paint the pictures, so yes, we should. But proceed cautiously. Use the mirror to take glimpses around hallways and underneath doors.

    Double check the rooms with secret switches for possible loot.
    Hell, double check the painting equipment just in case some magic / evil rubbed off on it. Not sure if we ever really checked it out, or if we went straight for figuring out the evil's source.

    If we search the house, we should black out any cameras we go near, so our foes cant track us as well.

    we should have the auror use his wallcutting spell again on the other voids, from an adjacent room with the door closed, AFTER we black out that levels cameras.

    i think we should black out the cameras before we search for any loot.

    Maybe we should use that spell we used on the walls on the staircases, so we can teleport between levels, but they cant get up or down easily?

    Okay, looks like Grognard killed Flea himself in exchange for Meta-Capable magic. The question is, what powers are both willing and able to make such a bargain? And of those powers, how many have pacts and bargains as a major part of their schtick?

    Regardless, we now know how the grognard is carrying out abductions.

    Ordinarily, I'd recommend setting a lethal trap down here, but we don't know if the guards might wander down here, so it's really too risky ulness we can definitively rule out the chance of anyone except grognard coming down here.

    COMMON SENSE is worth it. However, this involves OP telling you some things, rather than you figuring it out for yourself.
    Since you have not yet used this, I'll give you this one.

    COMMON SENSE:
    Miku is a civilian robot built primarily for entertainment. She has interest in friendship, and no interest in killing.
    Robots cannot eat Chocolate. She is not affected by its charm effect.
    Going through walls is a good way to escape a magic field. Trying to do this could result in backlash upon your Auror.
    Going through windows, by walking through them instead of using magic, cannot trigger anti-magic.
    Talking to people who have surrendered and are friendly is a good way to find useful information.
    If the enemy has given up on patrols, it has likely also given up on security monitoring.

    "We won't. We promise, and we keep our promises."
    Actually, can we ask Miku to go to the generator room so we can quite possibly talk to this guy himself and ask for a peaceful surrender? It'd be better than dragging him out by force, for sure. Might also be able to negotiate the surrender of the girls for safe return, and the possible mitigation of sentences later on for his cooperation.

    We should have her go wait somewhere safe away from the mansion, where she cant backstab us.

    Can the auror use magic to make her appear normal to the public?

    We could rent a room at a nearby hotel or leave her somewhere else safe and out of the way?

    We should be gentle, but cautious, because this might be a trick so we cant have her nearby while looting, but we need her safe.

    What do you guys think of this?

    Also, could we steal an internet or wireless security camera to keep tabs on her, or would that be too hard?

    There's no need to worry about that. The other girls will be returned to their homes. Your master will suffer no harm from us, either. If he comes along with no further trouble from him or the other girls, we promise to do everything in our power to ensure his well-being.

    But if we're to do this, we need to know what your master used to get the other girls. We know about the paintings, but we weren't able to find what he used to construct them. Do you know of any place where we could find such a device?

    I keep forgetting that we're dealing with a nervous wreck of a pervy neckbeard. He could have had us easily if he were more aggressive.

    As for having Miku talk to the Grognard... it might be worth considering. If Groggy panics, he could send all of his harem on a rampage. That would be very bad for us. On the other hand, we need to find the other stuff that the Grognard used to paint those pictures ASAP. We should have Miku help out with that regardless of our actions.

    We could use deprimo to collapse the floor he's on and incapacitate him. Also, we could simply cast Defodio, because we already know where he is.

    We could transfigure a flashbang into a tiny insect and then revert it back and make it detonate right under the neckbeard.

    Your scout craft just rammed the chimney and found it by accident.
    Also, the magic barrier on the house is ... entirely stable.

    You also looted:
    >Ladder of Blindness

    You have discovered:
    >The secret room on the top floor is where he keeps his porn stash. It seems ... both as though he goes here alone, and that the room is regularily used.
    The assassin team will want this.

    We should try to avoid seeing any of them killed, as requisitions may not care if we didn't specifically pull the trigger.

    Loot, maybe idly taunt the guy, but we aren't trying to provoke a strong reaction or anything, just keep him preoccupied.

    If we can get them out safely awesome, but if we can't then it's not on our list of things to do.

    Halfway through looting, Miku sends you a message.

    "We're here. We're safe. He's not trying anything. He's sitting on a defense turret; I've hacked it to shut it down. I can't stop the girls from fighting you, though."
    "He's making a painting, but he's only just now finished the undercoat. I think you have enough time."

    A shuddering crack is heard as your Auror and Nightcrawler break through the floor.
    Their invisibility is dispelled instantly, but they have initiative!
    As they drop through the floor, Miku bashes the Anti-magic crystal. It shudders for a moment!
    "I've got the paint, Get me out!"
    Miku clings tightly to Nightcrawler.

    A flare of rats and flashbangs and traps and everything catches the defenders completely off guard.

    Save for the Neckbeard.

    Who utters one final phrase...
    "Great Kālī. Mistress of Death. Come unto me now. I offer you my Chocolate, my House, and my Soul. Accept my offerings and join with me."
    The painting isn't even 10% done. There's no way in fuck you can summon a god through that.

    The Grognard adjacent to the painting has an anti-magic ring, good for at least one (1) blocked hostile spell.
    There is an anti-magic orb right goddamn there.
    The Warlock has activated her PvP trinket and is right now about to cast Instant Death Coil on Nightcrawler.
    Her Felhunter has the Auror targetted and is ready to spell lock.
    And Kali would not appreciate your attempts to destroy her.

    You would, in fact, easily be able to attack the painting.
    In fact, with a 95, it would have stopped the summoning.
    You would then INSTANTLY be met with Howl of terror, bashed to shit by everyone.

    He's been harsh for the last three threads. The whole Benny Hill dying thing should've at least tipped you off that he isn't pulling punches. And Nightcrawler. Maybe this one we recruited was essential to a canon too? Hmm?

    But the future refused to change...
    >It's my fucking quest. I shall railroad you into not being morons if I damn well want to.

    "Shiesse!"
    With a Teleport, and a wail, Nightcrawler, Miku, the Paint, and the Auror teleport straight onto your escape vessel.
    Nightcrawler's ring flashes a violent crimson and detonates in his hand.
    The Auror is spell-locked with a "Pwm"
    And Nightcrawler is now running around your ship aimlessly.
    But the drive is ready.

    You get the fuck out.

    Just before teleporting out, you hear on the radio that you received:
    "I win, Assholes. Now, Kali? My first order for you:"
    "Fuck me."
    ...
    "But, my love, you promised me your soul!"
    "I think you left it behind somewhere."
    "It would please me ever so much if you were to get it to me."
    "Go now, and retreive it. I shall watch over your house, and your 7 ... beautiful ... ladies until your return."

    And Mr. Grognard is reunited with his soul.

    >She is described as young and beautiful, has a gentle smile, and makes gestures with her two right hands to dispel any fear and offer boons. The more positive features exposed offer the distillation of divine wrath into a goddess of salvation, who rids the sadhaka of fear. Here, Kali appears as a symbol of triumph over death.

    A Pidgey made its way through the portal to reach you.
    Sailor Mercury's canon was corrupted by a crossover. If you were able to talk to her, you would have gained an interesting piece of knowledge!
    You didn't loot the anti-magic rings. In fact, Nightcrawler's has exploded, and he's now missing a hand. He's very much alive, at least.
    There was knowledge on one of the Computers that you didn't have time to boot up and search through.

    Renamon's Ego was bruised.
    Miku's happy spirit was bruised.
    You were able to loot 2/9 "Girls" (Flea, Miku)

    And now, someone has to figure out a way to make Princess Peach, Sailor Mercury, Amalia, Roxanne, Renamon, Chun-Li, an Eredar Warlock, and Kali the goddess of change from having chocolate-fueled apocalyptic lesbian sex long enough to return to their home canons.

    I guess we need to be more practical for the next mission.

    I am suggesting 2-3 Frog/Haven troopers from MGS4, the Mosin Nagant or mk2 tranquilizer pistol, tranquilizer rounds, and emotive ammo (Laughter/Screaming types).

    If the Frog/Haven troopers are too expensive, the next thing we can get is either an MSF or a FOX unit soldier.

    I also advocate to augment our heartbeat monitor. We obviously need binoculars and reactive radar equipment. Since soliton radar needs a satellite to function, it can't be used in our missions.
