Just use TOR to email it to the CDC from public wifi.

Also call Alex up, ask if he has a way or tracking or finding people.

>>2034889

Can our hacker phone send the information out anonymously?

If so, send it out to the CDC, one major hospital we know of that is attempting to treat the plague, and the federal government.

Proceed to dragoon spirit our dragon by emulating legend of dragoon, under the guidance of our skull mentor.

>>2034889
shape a superfast, inteligent, loyal bird and have him deliver it straight to the cdc in atlanta

>>2034903
>>2034900
Using your superphone, you send the information to the CDC before giving Alex a quick ring.

"Uh... yeah, I've got a way or two to find people. Why?"

>>2034955
Need to find the fuck that attacked you and make him pay or hes gonna keep coming til youre dead

>>2034903
If you are going to dragoon the dragon, I need a d100 roll and one other anon to second it.

Rolled 11 (1d100)

>>2034958
I'll back it up.

To other Alex:
"I mentioned being attacked by a robot and an alien? They were sent by a dude who is pissed off at me for a reason that's only like 5% my fault. So I'd like to find him to prevent any more assassins being sent my way. I'd owe you big time if you could do that."

>>2035052
>>2035060
You prepare an elaborate magical ritual that takes most of the day under guidance from your skull mentor. Whispering words of encouragement, you command your dragon to step within and begin channeling magic. Raw arcane power crackles around the room as you raise your Fictorum staff and shout the words your mentor taught you. The dragon twitches as its body begins to take on a silvery sheen, a wispy essence begin to waft off of it like steam off of cooked oysters. Your shouting grows more insistent as you feel the immense power within yourself, within the dragon and concentrate on PULLING one of those out...

Something goes wrong.

The dragon screams in pain, twitching and flailing wildly. You shout the words faster, thinking maybe if you hurry to the end before whatever happens you can salvage this...

The dragon knocks over a brazier in its blind agony, its tail rubs out part of the rune circle. The magical energy unleashes all at once, electrifying the beast, and it collapses with a low groan. As it dies, it gives you a look of pained betrayal, then whimpers, closing its large eyes for the last time.

>>2035052
"Ooookay, not how I expected this conversation to go. I'm going to need to know more about this guy. Anything you can tell me, really."

>>2035098

Well, fuck, it failed. Not like we can just try again with a new dragon either.

Oh well, spend the rest of the day Shaping our Charizard.

"Well, I think he is really big into movies, maybe especially old action movies, because he was able to send look-alikes of two terminators and a predator on the assault."

>>2035160
You manage to only increase your Charizard's strength a little as most of your time Shaping it is actually devoted to learning the strange makeup of this beast.

"Anything else?" Alex asks.

>>2035098
sorry dragon

To Alex:
"He's a guy who, I believe, has the power to summon title characters from movies to do his bidding. So far he's sent the T-800 from Terminator, the Predator from Predator, and the T-1000 from Terminator 2 at me. He also has some way of bringing himself back to life. He blames me for his death, even though it was 95% some Canadian assholes fault, and even though he's come back to life anyway. His title is The Watcher. I think. That's pretty much all I got."

>>2035098


Good job dipshits, all that bitching about dragooning and you flub the roll.

Anyfuckingways please find us another mansion, post some listings and give me my tribute please

>>2035211

>He blames me for his death, even though it was 95% some Canadian assholes fault, and even though he's come back to life anyway.

Careful, that is getting dangerously close to mentioning our part in the Harmont explosion. No matter what, we absolutely must keep that knowledge among as few people as possible. I know flying gifted girl knows, but we can deal with her when she comes for us.

The ease of keeping a secret is inversely proportional to the square of the number of people who know. Let's keep that number low, as far as within our power.

>>2035211
Is there anything we can tell him about the watcher's voice? We heard that, right?

>>2035225

As though a flubbed roll wouldn't ruin whatever we were doing at the time anyway.

Anyhoo, we have a better minion ready to go.

>>2035098
Boooooo, our dragon died. We should keep the body intact for future purposes.

Tribute Destroy All Humans!

>>2035245
Or we can tell people our version now, so that if they ever hear it from the Watcher or the Heroine they won't be like "oh wow revelation he's evil", they'll be like "actually this is what happened".

>>2035245
You did, it was deep and male.

>>2035225
You've got a lead on another mansion. It'll be a cool million to buy. What was your tribute again?

>>2035213
"All right. All right, I think I know something I can do. It'll take a day to work, though. Can you stay safe until then?"

>>2035261

Or better yet, we can tell no one ever. That seems like the best policy to me. I don't know about flying girl gifted, but the watcher sure doesn't seem eager to tell others about us. And as long as no one else knows we are gifted, who is going to believe them if they its our fault?

>>2035271
"Thanks man. I really appreciate this. I'll find some way to return the favor."


Voting against getting another mansion. Let's just get a small house. Inconspicuous. It's not like we even used the mansion space for anything.

>>2035282
Had to be someone's fault. I think not telling anyone is opening ourselves up to a big risk. Telling Alex goes a long way towards alleviating that risk. I don't think he's gonna blab to anyone else, and I think he'll even understand. He said he's messed up and made mistakes as well. We just have to frame it favorably.

>>2035271

Bahamut Lagoon was my tribute. I'm going to need betterbetter then million dollar mansions, how about some rural land parcel?

Why are we telling alex this shit again? Pretty sure this is bad

>>2035293

Can we table this until at least we have dealt with the Watcher?

>>2035322
I guess, since other Alex seems to have enough info.

ill support getting new rural out of place land.
like, plantation levels of huge. build tall walls with cameras every few yards or so.

While we are discussing what to buy next, what should we do with our ruined mansion?

>>2035260
A Shrink Ray appears in your hands!

>>2035321
A great treasure of gold and gems piles up at your feet.

Tributes: 2/4

>>2035400

>Tribute: Final Fantasy 6, tier 2. Aim for magicite

>>2035546
Six shards of Magicite fall at your feet.

>>2035374

Have it repaired of course. That should suck up some days

>>2035560

Fucking bitching. We need to find out what 6 we got quickly, I'm all for using an identify scroll

>>2035566
I'll save you the trouble. Magicite Shards summon a random esper one time each.

if we got nothing to do we can work on the cure or something. or do something with the quarantine tape i guess

>>2035577

Cool. Let's check them listings for rural land and get our daily news fix in. I'm just going to suggest again that scouting around town with our scouter might get us some results.

I would love to please do this

>>2035577

In other news, OP is tired as shit and has to stop. But don't worry, things are in store for tomorrow.

>>2035698
fuck, 12 sunfire capes? they don't even stack!
plus that flame aura will burn shit we don't want burned
guess we can sell some

>>2035698
Sell the old mansion land and look for large stretches of isolated land we can build shit in and cover in tarps so we can fight without hiding our abilities.

>>2035723
It does only hurt enemies and not the surroundings but we can test it.
Then we can start looking to shape 11 monsters or something.

>>2035723
We can horadric cube it into one really bitching cape.

>>2035098
Couldn't we just like Raise the Dragon? Still trying to understand how this works.

>>2036002

That's a good question. In some final fantasy games, you can cast auto-life equivalents on fallen allies to use it as a more expensive version of raise.

I don't know if the FFTA Auto-Life spell can be used that way. No reason we can't try, right?

>>2036002
>>2036091

>it gives you a look of pained betrayal, then whimpers, closing its large eyes for the last time.

I think the dragon would turn hostile. Let it be.

>>2036121

Reptile medal. I am given to understand that it can't not follow orders.

>>2036121
I think it was more it wasn't expecting us to end up killing it.
Which, us reviving us should help with those trust issues.

Too bad we couldn't just poach it.

>>2036091
If we have FFT/FFTA/FFTA2 we should probably wait until we can specify exactly what we want. Because we don't want to waste FFTA on something other then the Gran Grimoire or a Cinquedea.

We got 4 phoenix downs if you guys want to revive it.

>>2036159

They were already used up, its how we got Auto-Life and Refresh on our spell list.

>>2036178

DERP!

Completely forgot about those. Lets try that then, with reptile medal and Charizard at the ready.

>>2036223
>They were already used up, its how we got Auto-Life and Refresh on our spell list.
Damn. A Cinquedea would have literally been the best thing ever.

Steal Ability is so fucking OP.

>>2036232

To be clear, we used up FFTA and FFTA2. Not FFT.

>>2036237
Yeah, Cinquedea is FFTA/FFTA2. FFT's got some good stuff, but nothing on the level of broke that knife exists on.

Can we Emulate AND Tribute from a game, or does Emulating count as our one Tribute and remove it entirely?
Can we emulate from a game multiple times?

>>2036244
>Can we Emulate AND Tribute from a game, or does Emulating count as our one Tribute and remove it entirely?
Same series, different game, yes.
Same game twice is a no-go. First-thread rules, baybee.
>Can we emulate from a game multiple times?
Second verse same as the first.

>>2036244

I know your pain, and I have definitely been building something of a wishlist for once we get the ability to request specific items from our tributes.

>>2036223

Well Auto-Life SHOULD raise the dragon again, since it hasn't triggered. I'll blame a worn out OP

>>2036606
It probably timed out. Doesn't last until death, it wears off.

>>2036683

It does last til death though. That's the point of the spell

>>2036720
No, it lasts for a number of turns or until death, whichever comes first. It triggered fighting the Predator, and then even if we recast it, we waited a whole day before the spirit thing, and spent most of a day setting it up. It expired or never got recast.

>>2035098
God damnit you assholes killed our badass dragon familiar. That was literally the most useful thing we've ever had.

>>2036836

Lol, literally one of the most disposable and LEAST useful things we have ever had. We already have a better minion than the dragon could ever have been.

And as if that weren't enough already, we literally have both phoenix downs AND the ability to just shape another dragon, bigger and stronger than before. Although it would be stupid to spend shaper charges on a new dragon when we have a pocket-portable minion we could be amping into absurdity.

>>2036821

That's stupid and not how AutoLife works, because Alex DIDNT die his last casting is still active. Ur not gud. L2FF.

>>2036947
It's funny you're telling me that when I apparently know it better than you.

>>2036958

Its funny that your a smug asshat that's trying to get us killed. I'll grant that the dragon is probably a goner unless our downs are going to work on it.

The Charizard might be helpful but I doubt we'll be able to shape it due to weird pokemon evolution physiology.

And since apparently nobody else is going to bother;

>ShapeLife: a bird, intelligence in a eagle size body.

Figure out how to put scouter on record or direct link it to superphone. I'm determined to find some other signals before an Alien appears at the door next

>>2036986
I'm trying to get us killed by pointing out how our spells actually work? Shit, you've been trolling me this whole time. Nice one, I totally fell for it. 6/10.

>>2036986

Two things.

First, we used up our Daily shaping already.

Second, we already sent the information to the CDC with our superphone, so we no longer have any need of bird.

On an unrelated note, we at least managed to learn SOME of Charizard's physiology (as always, doubled by the growth egg), and our Charizard-Shaping can only get better as we learn more and more about it. He is the best kind of minion, the kind we can carry around with us without anyone batting an eye, so however long it takes to learn his physiology is time well spent.

the best part about the charizard is we can make our own after we've studyied it.
fuck, we could add pokemon evolutions and skills and shit to all our shaped minions.

>>2037019

The birds for finding the watcher dude. Tomorrow then

>>2037250

Also the virus has been handled. 'Murrica's going to be a world hero. In the meantime can we please go find the watcher before an Alien appears at our door, both literally and figuratively?

>>2037250
>>2037257
Alex is doing that for us. He said it'll take him about a day, so we should be gearing up and preparing to confront him.

>>2037262

Wow cause I mean there's only three of us in a single city. Not like a bakers dozen or no shit, amirite? No I doubt that I am.

Just scouter the city already. What's the worse that could happen except we gain knowledge of possible threats and don't have to get off our asses with bird.

Cause I'm almost to the point where a tank in the woods is child's play. You wanna tribute something?

>>2037352
Does the scouter have that much range? It's been years since I watched dragonball, I only remember them being used when the enemy was like 100 feet away. I guess it also depends on how big the city is.

If we can really scan the whole city from our house then do it, otherwise I'd tribute some stuff at the end of the day, mostly practice our magic to learn those spells we got before, and move when we get the location from other Alex.

>>2037370

According to most sources the scouter
can indeed do a flyby for power checks

>>2037492
Flyby? Doesn't that assume that we can fly like a DBZ warrior?

>>2037495

That's what a shaped bird is for

>>2037520
So we take a day to shape a bird that can wear and use the scouter and is smart enough to remember results and report them back to us. Sounds difficult. Maybe we succeed anyway, we'd still get the info back at roughly the same time that Alex would get back to us. I'd rather do that in the future, and focus on using shaping to further enhance Charizard for battle with the Watcher.

>>2035809
You put the land up for auction and begin looking for land to buy. Everything close to the city is bought up, but there are a few possibilities out in the boonies...

>>2036606
I don't see an action casting the spell on the dragon before it gets dragoon'd. Did I miss it?

On that note...

You've been playing around with the idea for a while, but tonight clinches it. You need to do a Scouter patrol. The question is how best to do it? You could just drive around... you could go on foot... or you could use your shiny new jetpack for flyby recon. There's probably other approaches too, if you think hard enough.

But which one?

>>2037616
just drive to the highest point in the city and scan

>>2037616

How long has it been since the Dragon died? I want to try a phoenix down on him.

Not like we have much use for them otherwise.

>>2037636
Roll a d100.

>>2037660
You take out one of the Phoenix Downs from your bag and wave it around for a moment before you realize you're not exactly sure how they used this in the games. Well, it's a moot point because you quickly remember that Phoenix Downs in FFIV heal the KO'd condition... which is not death, just close to it. It's unlikely this is sufficient to bring your minion back to life.

>>2037685
You drive to the tallest building in the city, a tower complex with a revolving restaurant and observation deck on the top. You enjoy a rich dinner of lobster and filet mignon because fuck it you earned it, then step out and slowly search the city with your Scouter, which you pass off as a novelty item.

It takes a long time... A long, long time. It's almost closing time for the tower before you see it... In another hotel a few miles away... a glimmer of a power signature.

>>2037702
What equipment did we bring out with us besides the scouter?

Get closer and investigate. Don't go in guns blazing. It could be someone else entirely, and the last thing we need is to make another enemy. Find out the address of the hotel first, then depending on what we brought we'll decide on a follow up.

>>2037702

Ok, how do we want to go about this?

Ambush? Explode the entire building? Fill his room with colorless toxic gas? Rest for the night and Shape an obscenely poisonous insect to stealth its way in? Full on assault with Charizard?

Many angles to look at here, and they all differ in the amount of exposure, collateral damage and effectiveness we may see.

>>2037719
It's the Dolphin Hotel, a very fancy and expensive place. It's not hard to get the address.

You have all your guns in your Digital Inventory and your usables plus Black Blade and lightsaber in your bag of holding.

>>2037702
meh, mark down the hotel where you found the power signature. You will deal with it when you finish your business with watcher. Go back home.

we're gonna need to get close eventually so he doesn't revive again.
Speaking of which, add a couble mortal kombat games if we haven't yet so we can emulate shang tsung and take the watchers soul from him so he doesn't revive.
shit, if it becomes an item we could cube it.

>>2037702
Shit, if we have all that then we should move in and investigate further. Wish we had an energy shield to replace the one arnie crushed. Tribute Borderlands pre-sequel.

>>2037756

Don't do it you fool! We need to save that game for when we can finally choose our tributes.

We'll use our emulations as our trump card, like always.

>>2037729
Did we bring our pokemon?

>>2037762
Won't do much good to save it if we die first because we don't have it.

>>2037729

Let's go back to the Warehouse, and start fusing some shit with our Horadric cube. We'll be ready in the morning.

I for one want to try fusing our battle mech with our plate armor. Maybe we can get some power armor out of that.

And that one anon was talking about fusing our 12 sunfire capes.

Well, what other games have a energy shield? I know the halo series have it.

>>2037779

The point being, that if we don't get a shield from tributing Borderlands the pre sequel, where the fuck else are we going to get a convenient energy shield like that one? I would rather be unshielded now, than unshielded forever.

>>2037783
we already have power armor from fallout

>>2037792
Path of Exile has items that grant energy shields. They're magic too, so they synergize with us better than borderlands shields which are pure tech.

>>2037774
Of course.

>>2037783
You can't fit the battlemech into the cube. You could try to fuse the capes, though. Do you want to do that?

>>2037840
Yes

>>2037840

Save 3, fuse the rest.

Reminder that we need to scrub our info from the airport computers.

>>2037853
Your cube produces three Forgefire Capes.

>>2037894
Fuse those. Wonder what they are.

>>2037907

Looked it up, looks like sunfire cape on roids, normally only available to a specific character, who can make max tier+1 items.

>>2037907
You create an item you dub a Novafire Cape, a Forgefire Cape with the additional property of enhancing your fire spells.

It's getting very, very late. You can't help but pass out on the bed.

You have no dreams this night.

>Day 31 end.
>Day 32 begin.
>All powers refresh.

You wake up with a sense of purpose. Alex should be calling sometime today. The only question is what to do while you wait.

>>2037937
Try shaping the charizard again. Also equip the Novafire cape somewhere safe and make sure it doesn't immolate anything but enemies. If we have any additional time learn the fire spell from the spellbook we got.

>>2037937
Tribute Mass Effect

>>2037937
Shape a smart, loyal spy bird.
Send it to the dolphin hotel to confirm its the watcher.

>>2037945
The Novafire Cape only activates when you wear it so you can stow it in your bag easily enough.

>>2037967
Charizard or bird, which are you doing?

>>2037956
There is a pause before a metal case appears before you. Opening it up reveals an Omni-Tool, 5 doses of Medigel, and a Spectre-grade Pistol. A note reads, "Use these well and stay alive, soldier. -Shepherd."

>>2037986
Ok, anon seems to really want this bird so lets do it

>>2037986

Charizard. We can look into the bird when we aren't preparing for an insane battle.

Can we interface the Omni-tool with our super phone?

>>2037986
Charlizard

>>2037986
Oh fuck, can the omnitool be use to repair the shield?

>>2038002
The Omnitool can interface with the phone, but not the other way around.

>>2038010
You manage to enhance the claws and fangs of the Pokemon to be sharper.

>>2038016
>>2038020

This, holy shit this.

>>2038016
>>2038028
You prod the broken shield with the OmniTool, but quickly realize you have no idea... really, how either works. There's a manual for the tool but you haven't read it yet.

>>2038033
Welp, emulate mass effect 2 and learn all about the omnitool asap. Then repair the shield if possible.

Hotel eh? Well I did my scouter homework today and know it can determine elevations. What floors that SIG on OP? Let's call every room with superphone til we hit pay dirt.

Other wise let's go there and tribute a fucking building. I've got several in mind, some within tier 2 parameters.

You guys want to tribute some shit now or should I do it?

Are we just using up the days tributes and emulations or are we going to fight the watcher?
We got some mortal kombats already added, right?

>>2038050
>98
Fuck you guys, this wasn't supposed to be possible.

Between the manual, your channeling of Tali, and some sheer luck and brilliance on your part in using your Cube and magic to speed the process along in parts, you manage to jury-rig your shield back together. It's not quite as good as it was, and it's fragile now, but you've got your shield back.
>Jury-Rigged Borderlands Shield gained.

>>2038058
Fourteenth floor. What exactly are you doing/saying with the calls?

>>2038073

We have to handle the hotel carefully, because we don't actually know if that is the watcher, could be flying girl.

On an unrelated note, HOLY SHIT the dice are hot tonight!

>>2038081
Pretend to be conducting a survey, ask for their names and a description of their typical daily activities.

just hack the hotel and look through their shit

>>2038091

Bad idea, if it is the watcher, he knew where we lived, so he probably knows our face/voice.

Igor might work, if we were willing to risk him.

>>2038098
>>2038081

Supporting.

>>2038104
If he freaks out we know it's him. We can track him with the scouter if he tries to flee.

>>2038116

If he freaks out, we lose the initiative. >>2038098 is right, lets hack the hotel information system, see who is in the fourteenth floor.

>>2038081
OP what model is our omnitool? Is it better than our phone at hacking?

>>2038122
That won't do any good. How would the hotel know if he was a gifted or not? What do you think he did, gave his name as the Watcher? Lol.

>>2038098
This would require going to the hotel just so you know. The place has a website, but it doesn't appear to be linked into their systems.

>>2038091
This would also require being close. Your phone can hack into the hotel's phone systems, but it needs to be in range.

>>2038134
K, might as well gear up and go. Make sure shield is equipped and revive is cast.

>>2038143
Before we go do we want to wear the power armor?

>>2038148
No, that would draw a shitton of attention. Better to keep that for when we're sure we're going to need it.

>>2038134
Lets go

Also, can we put our power armor in our new borderlands inventory.

Idea, perhaps we could fix the shield better by combining it with something in the cube.

>>2038134

Gear up with everything that'll fit on us. Novafire cape in our bag though, we don't know if it'll set things on fire. Scouter on, with us casually looking around, he may have minions patrolling. Have our pokeball ready to release charizard. Weapons in the digital inventory.

How are we handling this if its actually him, guys? We can consider our identity completely blown if we get into a prolonged engagement in the middle of a hotel, so that probably isn't the best idea.

>>2038174
No, there is no armor slot in the Digital Inventory.

>>2038143
You gear up and take a moment to cast the spell before entering the hotel. The lobby is huge, bustling and full of people. It isn't hard at all to find an unoccupied seat and take out your phone, pretending to be just another world-weary traveler.

Are you hacking the hotel's phones or trying to hack their network?

check the dates, cross out the ones that arrived after we were attack and the ones before the harmont nuke

>>2038295
There are five on the fourteenth floor with dates in that range.

>>2038284
There are plenty of those, more than a few people put up the old DND request at any hotel... but there's only one on the fourteenth floor that also falls in the date range.

>>2038246


No. Check for complaints on the 15th 13th floors in regards to the 14th.What a difference a scoutered bird would make. 3 passes and wed have some powered ass

>>2038326
You don't find any, though there's one room where the room on both the floor above and below it is vacant.

>>2038356
Same as the 14th floor with the DND in the date range? Might as well check that room out before trying the phones. Let's try once more to switch our scouter to a close range detailed reading, carefully this time.

>>2038356

Paydirt unless its some freaked orgy type thing (these things happen). Fuck the police throw on mask, get to 14th after we know the room, REC this fucking block and let's get rid of him. Charizards on point. Leave Igor unless we need bail.

>Warming up a tier2 SimCity tribute...lol

>>2038382
Last time we tributed a SimCity type game we got a life sized bronze statue, so I'll veto that for now.

>>2038376
Yes, same room. Your Scouter is set to close range now, but something in that room is interfering with it much like the Golden Sphere did. You can't get a detailed reading. On the bright side that in of itself is sort of a give-away.

>>2038382
I'm not clear on what you want to do. You want to get to the room and REC the floor to turn off the power?

>>2038412

No, we want to go up the room, have a hack ready to unlock the door, knock on the door, then if we hear someone moving inside, unlock the door, then send Charizard in first, with us following closely behind wielding the black blade to quickly take the target down.

Of course, we auto-life Charizard.

>>2038412


You know what, find room REC block just to be safe. Char on point

>>2038411

I said fuck the police didn't I?

>>2038382
No le random tribute pls

>>2038448
Nah brah, we shouldn't go looking for trouble. Unless we are sure it's the watcher.

>>2038412
Is there a phone we can hack inside?

>>2038448
No, there's no guarantee it's the Watcher.

>>2038460
My concern was more along the lines of it would be a waste.

>>2038467

We still go in if its flying girl. We can pretty easily call the room from a little outside the door to ascertain the rooms owner.

I don't suppose we picked up xray vision anywhere without me realizing?

>>2038473

We know it isn't Alex. I mean, it could be flying girl, but who else could it really be?

The priest? The Weeb?

And like I keep saying, its pretty easy to confirm the room's owner.

>>2038488
Are you going to call the room?

>>2038496
Literally any other gifted is who it could be. If we don't kill them right away, it's another enemy which we really can't afford.


>>2038503
Let's do it. I don't think we ever talked to the Watcher, he shouldn't be able to recognize our voice.

>>2038503
Call when we're right next to the door. rush in the room as soon as we hear him

>>2038505

Literally can't be most of the gifted.

>>2038503

Yes, but move in immediately if it is the watcher.

Leave the almost completed hellraiser puzzle box at the door if it is flying girl and quickly say "package for you", then leave.

>>2038516
>>2038518
The phone rings, and rings... then a smooth, male voice, slightly deep picks up.

"Yes?"

>>2038518
What if it summons something really nice?

...Maybe she'll reconsider her hatred of us.
>>2038522
Does the voice sound like the Watcher? We heard him before in our dreams, when he sang us that little limerick.

>>2038522
hangup and start hacking from outside the door

>>2038522
don't say anything. Just hang up. If its the watcher we get ready to battlem

>>2038525
>>2038533
It's him.

You go to hack the door... and find no keycard reader. It has an old-stye mechanical lock with a keyhole below the knob.

>>2038545
lets place a thermal detonator at his door. anybody disagree?

>>2038545
Cut through with the lightsaber.

"Surprise asshole!"

Depending on what we see inside:

1) Unleash charizard, hack and slash with lightsaber and black blade

or

2) run like hell if he has superman or someone comparable in the room with him

>>2038545
no no, not the door, the phone.
Start fucking and glitching it out as a distraction and have the pokemon bust the door down while we throw a thermal grenade afterwords.
Then the pokemon charges in with us while we shoot with the starwars laser gun

>>2038545
Also please wear a mask if we have one or get one befor we wreak shit.

>>2038545

Fuck that
Charizard breach that shit after AutoLifing ourselves. REC this buikding /floor/block whathaveyounot and let's get it crunkin'.

Nobodies using tributes so fuck you guys when push comes to shove, we're going tier2 fuckoffmode. Bet

>>2038565
>>2038583
You glitch the phone, then throw your pokeball, unleashing your Charizard to break down the door. The wooden door gives away with ease, flying to the side as your lizard stomps into the room.

The room itself is very large, with two doors from the 'living area'. You hear movement from the bedroom, but no one's in the entry area.

>>2038594
fuck, he's ready

we revived ourselves and charizard?
go to the bedroom
also ask how he came back to life
also remark how it's mostly the leafs fault that he died in the first place

>>2038594

Shit, mask up, send Charizard to bust into the bedroom, pull out BFG.

Do we know how many shots the BFG has?

>>2038636

Don't bother quibbling about whose fault it was that he died then, what does it matter when we are here to kill him NOW?

>>2038643
thermal into the bedroom

>>2038636
lets wear the cape as well

>>2038636
>>2038641
You burst into the bedroom... only to find it empty.

The phone next to the bed rings.

>>2038646

I don't think we have thermals (?). I'd go with the shock and awe of our mightiest fire spell.

Since the REC didn't happen I can assume we're on hotel footage

Rolled 7 (1d100)

>>2038670

Do NOT answer that. Scouter around us full sweep

Rolling for miracles I guess

>7
What a horrible night to have a curse.

>>2038685
Your Scouter is picking up the interference everywhere.

>>2038670
REEEEE, look for the interference.

>>2038687

Slice through the floor with the lightsaber, you said above and below were empty, right?

I don't feel like sticking around in a failed ambush, that's just asking to get attacked.

Once we are through, recall Charizard, and book it out of here.

>>2038696
It's all around you.

>>2038698
You slice through the floor and drop into the room below you. The phone here begins to ring as well.

>>2038670
hack the hotel and erase huge blocks of time on videos including our precense and the damage and break a window and fly out on charizards back.
Go high so we can't be seen and go to the town outskirts.

Rolled 96 (1d100)

>>2038704
its there nothing unusual in this place? no weird objects?

>>2038704

Leave through the door, start getting ready to hearth out.

Leave the phone alone, at best its the watcher gloating, at worst its a trap.

>>2038716
There are no video cameras on this floor, hacking the lobby cameras will take some time.

>>2038718
No, it looks an exact copy of the room you just left, minus the hole.

>>2038719
You retreat back to the door and find it closed again. Closed and locked. With a sigh you ignite your saber and slash the door open...

...only it doesn't open. You blink and the damage done by your saber is gone.

The phone continues to ring.

>>2038743
spooky, cut through the door try not to blink.

>>2038743

Try the Black Balade.

If that doesn't work, hearth out.

Continue to ignore the phone.

>>2038753
this
Do the hacking from far away afterwords.

>>2038753
The Black Blade slices through the door... and you find another door behind it.

"Fuck this," you mutter, pulling out your Hearthstone and channeling the familiar green energy. Everything goes black for a split second...

...and you reappear in the hotel room.

>>2038759

Hmmm, you said the hole is still in the ceiling?

Try the floor again, while masked of course.

We may have been caught in some sort of pocket plane, or else affected by something in our mind.

>>2038759
>>2038767

Ah yes, the magic rope, yes try that, if getting through the floor again doesn't help.

>>2038768
You slice another hole and fall down into another copy of the same room. This time when you look up, the hole you created is gone. The phone is still ringing.

>>2038773
The Magic Rope animates wildly, but then stills itself, apparently unable to function here.

Well, I am gonna bite the bullet and pick up the call. Set it to conference mode so you don't have to pick up the receiver.

>>2038781
>>2038791

>>2038781

Continue to ignore the phone.

Shoot the door handle with the blessed bullets gun. Two shots, see if that sticks.

>>2038799
>>2038781

If that doesn't work, try shooting the phone. 1 shot this time.

>>2038791
>>2038798
You set the phone to conference and are startled to hear a voice that sounds like an electric hair-clipper that has learned how to talk.

"Five! This is five! Ignore the siren! Even if you leave this room, you can never leave this room. Eight! This is eight! We have killed your friends! Every friend is now dead."

>>2038814
And on that note, I have to leave. We'll pick up tomorrow at around the usual time.

>>2038814
>>2038798

Like I said, the phone was obvious bait. Hang up, shoot the door and the phone with the blessed bullets.

>>2038814
Cool shit. googled it and its something to do with 1408(film).

Lets set the room on fire.

>>2038814
>>2038818

And, now that I look it up, blessed bullets would probably have worked!

I am beyond salty right now.

>>2038848
its not too late?

>>2038848
>>2038860
yeah, just shoot it next update.

>>2038848

By the way, this is me, I am temporarily elsewhere.

>>2038822
You pull out your Silver Gun and shoot the door and the phone and nothing seems to happen beyond a rumble and slight grumbling groan.

>>2038844
How are you setting the room on fire?

>>2041430
We have a charizard

>>2041469
Indeed you do.
"Charizard, use Flamethrower!" you command, your giant lizard roaring and unleashing a fiery blast from its jaws. A cone of fire splashes against the wall, incinerating it instantly and causing the room to shake as an unearthly wail echoes around you. The phone begins to melt into plastic goo as an unseen force throws your Charizard out the window, and out of your sight. The window slowly begins to repair itself as the fire sprinklers turn on, attempting to put the nascent blaze out.

>>2041489
lel our Charizard can fly anyway. Wear the cape and staff then cast flame tongue.

>>2041489
Call charizard back to the pokeball from the opening and do this
>>2041497

>>2041489
Supporting >>2041497
BUT FIRST
get our jetpack equipped

>>2041522
>>2041503
support

>>2041522
You have to pick one, Novafire Cape or Jetpack. You can't have them both on at the same time without damaging them.

>>2041503
The Charizard is already past the range of your pokeball.

>>2041539
smash the sprinklers so it can't put out the flames while we wait for charizard to fly back to us.

>>2041539

escape from the damaged window while we can then. charizard catches us or we jetpack to safety.

>>2041539
Just the jetpack then

>>2041539

Meh, even blessed bullets don't affect the room very badly?

Wear Novafire and longfall boots. Blast the entire room with flametongue, but mostly the window, and jump out.

>>2041549
>>2041497
You shrug on the jetpack and ready your staff, aiming your blast at the sprinklers and melting them to slag before spraying as much of the room as you can with fire before your spell runs out.

>>2041557
Then you run towards the window and attempt to jump out. You crash into the glass as it reforms, pain jolting you as a thousand shards of glass cut into your skin. Your nanoaug stops this from being fatal, but it still is incredibly painful. Your jetpack pulses to life and for a moment you are airborne... then you feel something loop around your ankles and smash you against the exterior of the hotel. You look back to see six writhing tendrils wrapping around your legs. The tendrils look like someone took things in a hotel room, mashed them together, and liquefied them, stretching them out to absurd dimensions. The phone hisses in your ear.

"THREE! This is THREE! Even if you leave this room, you will never leave this room. FOUR! This is FOUR! Even if you leave this thread, you will never leave this thread. FIVE! This is FIVE!"

>>2041610
drink an ether and cast flame tongue at the tentacles.

>>2041610
Fuck, google told me that should work.

Maybe the room isn't damaged enough yet?

When we get dragged back inside, wreck the sprinklers and cast flametongue a lot

>>2041610

Call out to Charizard to use Flamethrower.

>You crash into the glass as it reforms, pain jolting you as a thousand shards of glass cut into your skin.

Was our shield not able to protect us? It seemed to handle cutting implements no problem before. Even weaker it should be able to withstand glass shards.

>>2041610
Also wear the longfall boots and cape instead.

>>2041641
>>2041628
You let the room drag you back in, taking the time to chug an ether down. The moment you're back within the room you let loose with flametongue in all directions, not ceasing until the room is a blazing inferno and the unearthly wailing is almost deafening.

Finally some unseen force propels you out of the hotel room, and you are soaring through the air. You tumble end over end before you manage to activate your jetpack, stabilizing yourself just long enough to see the entire Dolphin Hotel shimmer and vanish like it was some sort of mirage. A perfectly empty space in the city is all that remains of it.

>>2041674
where our pokemon?

>>2041674
Recover Charizard

Return to warehouse

Cry over how the Watcher is 2 gud

Tribute Fable

Wait for Alex to save us with his big knight dick

>>2041674

Alright, so I say that next time, we just explode wherever the Watcher is hiding immediately, determining his hiding place by emulating some game with super hearing.

>>2041717
Do we have explosives on that scale?

>>2041729

BFG can probably suffice for most purposes. It also wouldn't be too hard to tribute or emulate something explosive if we really need. Weapons that can pierce walls could also work, like the laser.

>>2041674
Flametongue or have charizard flamethrower the nearest normally flame retardant object, just to be sure the room isn't following us somehow.

>>2041764
Seem like it would bring a lot of collateral damage if he is situated in another place with lots of people.

>>2041681
>>2041710
>>2041764
You recover your pokemon and retreat to the warehouse without further incident. You burn a few things when no one's watching to make sure the thing isn't somehow following you.

>Tribute Fable.
A pile of miscellaneous valuables atop which two potions sit, one red, and one blue.

>>2041803
Scouter the potions.

Tribute Destroy All Humans! 2

>>2041803
Those better be elixers and not shitty potions. Our character wasn't that much of a cheapskate.


Shit, maybe he just drank all the elixers right away. No reason not to.

>>2041784

We tried being circumspect, and it didn't work. I don't mind collateral damage if it means ending a proven threat.

>>2041859
The issue with that is it might attract more proven threats.

>>2041811
>Destroy All Humans 2 Tributed

A Death Ray appears before you.

The Scouter says one potion increases your physical fortitude, the other seems to imbue you with magic.

>>2041896

>>2041896
Is the weapon attached the the saucer?

>>2041907
>Disintegrator Ray
My mistake, I got the two mixed up.

>>2041898
This

>>2041898
>>2041928
You feel a little healthier and you feel like you can summon a bit more magic.

Are you just waiting on Alex, now?

>>2041939

We can check the news while we wait

>>2041964
I'll open with that then.

I hate to call it early, but something's come up. Tomorrow's session will be bit a bit erratic, but... well. We'll see.

Thanks for playing!

>>2041866

The problem with NOT immediately obliterating him is that we waste 1.5 threads fighting a hotel room, spending resources and accomplishing nothing.

Until he is gone, we have a proven threat. If we obliterate him we MIGHT get another. I'd rather obliterate the known threat over worry about MAYBE getting a new one.

Also, forgive the slow post speed. Internet is so shit here that recaptcha keeps timing out.

>>2041964
"Panic strikes the city again as a skyscraper in the prestigious downtown area vanishes without a trace! Eyewitnesses say one moment the now empty lot was occupied by a large building, sixteen, maybe twenty stories tall. The next it was gone. Even more mysterious is that no one seems to know for sure what building was actually there! Records of the lot and what structure was occupying it seem to have been altered or destroyed, and no one can agree on what the skyscraper was. Some are saying it was a grand hotel. Others insist it was an abandoned and run down eye-sore. Even more are firm that it was just a parking garage up until a day or two ago. Is this some sort of mass hysteria or hallucination caused by the growing panic over the Green Death? Some bizarre marketing scheme gone horribly awry? Or is something else pulling some heavy strings behind our fair city? One thing's for sure, WKRF-23 intends to find out!"

"Thank you Kate. In other news, Task Force Durango has issued a statement, saying that the perpetrators of the North Korean and Harmont incidents are known to use powerful hallucinogenics to draw attention away from their actions. Citizens are asked to report any bizarre sightings or strange phenomena. The drug they use apparently affects the memory centers of the brain associated with entertainment, and are believed to be responsible for a rash of bizarre sightings in Canada and the East Coast of popular media characters. Bizarre as it is, if you see your favorite comic character flying through the sky, or something out of a movie happening, report to a nearby hospital immediately. You may be affected by this hallucinogenic."

>>2042983
And I will return in about seven hours.

>>2043078
>Resumed.

Your phone rings late in the afternoon.

"It's Alex. Meet me at the burnt out wreck on Lumbarg Street. I've got your answers."

>>2044016
Head there and ready for combat but don't be obvious about it.
Just in case he uncovered too much and wants to start something.

>>2044086
This

>>2044086
>>2044092
You drive your shit car to the meeting point. It's already getting dark when you make it. A fully armored Alex is waiting under a dead tree in the back yard of the mass of burnt and blackened timbers that was once a house.

"So, it took some time, but I managed to find out where your friend 'The Watcher' is hiding. It's an abandoned apartment in the bad side of town, surrounded by areas that you can get shot at or mugged just by walking through. You know. The old haunts," Alex says, bitterness in his voice. He pauses. "It wouldn't surprise me if there's a ton of traps around the place either. He seems like the type." Alex raises his visor and looks at you in the eye. "Do you want to tell me the full story as to why this guy wants you dead?"

>A fully armored Alex is waiting

I think he knows but he wants to hear it from us. Anybody wants to try their hand at spinning the nuke incident?

>>2044168
"Us dead, apparently.
It doesn't really matter, i tried to talk to him and almost got killed for the effort. He's gotta go.
Do we need to cover you in blankets to not draw attention?"

Since no one wants to step up and diplomance, here i go.

>>2044168
Alright, you deserve to know the truth.

You heard Harmont about right? I was at Harmout a few days ago exploring and trying to reach the center when a leaf who was a gifted attacked me. He persisted in chasing me despite my attempts to shake him off. He had a energy shield that would react very explosively when a energy projectile interacts with it. I only knew of the fact when I shot him with a BFG and then you know what happened.

This is where the watcher comes in. The watcher was in Harmont as well doing god knows what and he got caught in the blast. He promised to get revenge even though he revived soon afterwards and didn't seem to affected by it. Did I mention I was a gifted? I died in the blast as well but only because of my gifted powers was I able to survive.

>>2044168
>>2044449
I really didn't mean for the whole thing to happen. I am really sorry about this, Alex.

>>2044372
>>2044449
Which one, because the outcome is going to be dramatically different.

>>2044472
And tie broken. Response in progress.

>>2044491
OP that all was me, you can see by the ID. I was just adding on.

>>2044503
Good catch.
Well gents, this all boils down to which approach you wanted to try, honest or not. I just need a tiebreaker, I'm not comfortable making this decision for you.

>>2044536
you could give it 20 or 30 minutes and roll a 1d2 if no one votes in that time.
Can't complain if they don't make such a big window.

>>2044536

We aint got that kind of time!

>>2044372

This

>>2044634
"It does matter," Alex insists. "You're asking me to help you kill someone. I don't doubt he's got to go, but I think I deserve to know the whole truth."

lel, shadowrunners wannabes, please do your thing.

>>2044536
voting for honest

it was mostly leafs fault tho

>>2044665

"Hey hey whoa, there buddy! I distinctly remember a basement full of bodies that YOU killed all by your lonesome. Have the cops kicked in your door? No? I think I've earned some trust, so trust me on this one this guys a menace."

>>2044665

"You know what? It'll take me a bit longer, but I think I can find him on my own, thanks."

Do NOT fuck this up anons! Do NOT tell him anything!

>>2044665
"hes a whiny baby thats mad at me cause he almost died before i even met him. his pride is wounded or some retarded shit. if you dont want to go fight someone that wants to kill you then i can handle it alone. youve done enough just finding him for me."

good think he already gave us the general area.

>>2044690
He didn't ask us for help with any of those though. We don't earn trust just by not snitching on him, especially when we have no evidence.

>>2044701
no

>>2044665
Voting honest(mostly)
The best lies are close to the truth. What if he already knows what happened somehow?

>>2044665
Voting for that 100% honesty.

>>2044708

So you are saying you refuse to not fuck this up?

You are going to force us to face two, maybe even three gifted at the same time. The end of our quest is all but certain.

>>2044690
"You were with me, you wanted in on it... or so you said. What have we done to help anyone since that night?"

>>2044707
"I've got no problem with fighting, I just want to know what I'm fighting for."

>>2044711
>>2044676
>>2044449
"Why the hell didn't you just tell me that? Why didn't you tell me you were a gifted right away? Do I even need to say that I'm one too? If you know what to look for, it's pretty obvious," Alex says, raising his voice in exasperation. "What are you playing at, here?"

Rolled 34 (1d100)

>>2044753

Well anons, you did it, you doomed us.

We are a dead man walking.

Rolling to recover this fiasco.

Don't expect me to leave just because you want to watch the world burn though. The room was right, even if you leave the thread you never leave the thread.

>>2044753
just leave and head for the watcher, we've spent enough time fucking around

>>2044741
stop


>>2044753
I was a little paranoid. Maybe more than a little paranoid. Didn't do much good, as I ended up getting kidnapped by those mafia guys anyway. Sorry.

While I'm being honest, another gifted, the Quester, told me something big is gonna happen after 100 days have passed, so we have like 70 left.

What do you look for to identify a gifted, by the way? Do you know any others?

>>2044753
Well, I am not sure if I could trust you.

The last time someone knew of my powers, he tried to blackmail me and make me work for the don. I was forced to take them down because of it. I just want to be mostly left alone and maybe do a few good deeds here and there.

>>2044766
>>2044777
Alex nods.
"All right, that makes more sense. You should've told me though, we could've compared notes on what the hell happened to us..." he stops. "A hundred days? Did he say anything about what it was? Oh..." Alex pats a bag at his belt. "I just used a spell scroll that was a powerful divination. I used it to trace anyone with a power... well, like mine." Alex frowns. "I saw you right along with the Watcher. I knew then what exactly you were, but I wanted to give you a chance to come clean." Alex sighs. "Which I am profoundly grateful that you did. With all the weirdness going on, I'd much rather have an ally than another enemy." He pauses.

"I... You met him too, right? The Smiling Man. He's the one that gave you your power?"

>>2044817
Good thing we came clean

>>2044817
Yep. I'm the Gamer. Can draw on video games I've played for items and powers. You?


>>2044760
I TOLD YOU BRO. I TOLD YOU COMING CLEAN WAS THE RIGHT MOVE MR SHADOWRUNS.
