=======================================Session Begins=======================================
<Bryce> (can I please actually have the 3000 this time?)
<Gamemaster> (yes)
<Agent007> (3000?)
<Gamemaster> (you'll see)
<Agent007> (WHOA)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You are lined up along with 17 other soldiers, and your training Sergeant is addressing you
<Bryce> (how do I switch text colours so everyone if different)
<Gamemaster> (you don't)
<Gamemaster> (I used a special command to get purple, but it does the star and name automatically)
<Agent007> (uh cool)
<Gamemaster> =All right,= your Sergeant begins
<Bryce> (please continue)
<Gamemaster> =We're going to begin this training mission=
<Gamemaster> =You'll be divided into teams of 10=
<Bryce> =Sir, teams of nine make more sense.+
<Gamemaster> =Why is that, Private?=
<Bryce> =Sorry, sir.=
<Bryce> =It was nothing.=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: He begins calling off names and numbers. Each of you are assigned to team #2
<Gamemaster> =Now,= he continues
<Gamemaster> =The leader for team #1, who should be addressed as "Captain" for this mission, will be Richard Douglas=
<Gamemaster> =The leader for team #2 (also Captain) will be Frederick Boyle=
<Gamemaster> =While none of you have seen this battlefield before, your Captains have scouted it out and have chosen base locations.  I have approved both.=
<Gamemaster> =Your Captains will now escort you to your bases.  You'll find your equipment there.  I'll let them brief you further.=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The two groups part company and follow their Captains toward opposite ends of the battlefield
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Your Captain leads you across a large lawn, past several trees, and over between to areas of dense vegetation
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: To the South, you see trees surrounded by undergrowth blocking all vision. To your North, a dense thicket of bushes roughly 6 ft high.
<Bryce> =Sir, this place isn't suitable for frogs, let alone a base of operations.=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: To the East is a barbed wire fence marking the boundary
<Gamemaster> =Ah, but we're not done yet!= your Captain says with more than a little pride
<Bryce> =If you say so sir=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The Captain walks into the bushes to the North. The rest of your group stands waiting
<Bryce> Begin walking off a few feet, before turning around
<Gamemaster> (which direction?)
<Bryce> (South)
<Bryce> (I mean west)
<Agent007> 007 stands with the group
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: After several seconds (about when Bryce turns), your Captain returns and beckons you to follow him as he disappears into the bushes again
<Agent007> follows him
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Obediently, the rest of the group follows
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: After you pass through one bush (with fewer scrapes than you'd feared), you find that the center of the thicket is actually totally clear
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You look around. On the ground (totally devoid of vegetation), you see the following pieces of equipment:
<Bryce> =Sir, this is a perfect area for them to snipe us from=
<Gamemaster> (hold on, let me finish)
<Bryce> (sorry)
* Gamemaster LIST: 1 CPS 3000, 2 CPS 1000, 1 AS 275, 5 XP 110, 3 XP 40, 2 2-liter bottles of watter, one backpack
<Gamemaster> =Well, normally I'd agree= your Captain responds
<Gamemaster> =But there's no where near here to snipe FROM!=
<Agent007> =Sir, what's in the backpack?=
<Agent007> =Water ballons perchance?=
<Gamemaster> =Nothing, yet.  It's to carry the refill bottles.=  He gestures toward the 2-liter pop bottles filled with water
<Agent007> =Oh okay=
<Gamemaster> (any other questions before I continue?)
<Agent007> (sorry)
<Gamemaster> (no, you did nothing wrong)
<Gamemaster> (I just want to know whether any of you want to take further action now)
<Agent007> (okay, please continue)
<Gamemaster> =All right, here's the battle plan for now,= your Captain begins
<Gamemaster> =Three people (myself included) will stay here with one of the refill bottles, the CPS 3000, and two XP 110s=
<Bryce> (I though I got the 3000)
<Gamemaster> (Sorry, I thought you mean the 1000.  That's what to took last time)
<Bryce> (no, I want the 3000, pleae)
<Gamemaster> (You could offer to stay on defense . . . ?)
<Bryce> (I can carry it, look at my stats
<Gamemaster> (I have no doubt you can carry it)
<Gamemaster> (but the Captain's in charge)
<Bryce> =Sir, I want to stay on defense.=
<Agent007> chuckles
<Bryce> (??)
<Agent007> (I laugh)
<Gamemaster> The Captain nods.  =Very well, Private.  Please wait until I finish next time.=
<Bryce> =Sorry, sir.=
<Gamemaster> The Captain continues, =The rest of you will split up into pairs and search the battlefield for the enemy base.=
<Gamemaster> =Report back in 5 minutes, when you find the base, or when you have to.=
<Gamemaster> =Remember, we've got a limited supply of water, so fire sparingly.=
<Gamemaster> =Our ultimate goal is to take control of the enemy base.=
<Gamemaster> =DISMISSED!=
<Agent007> =Sir, do we get to choose our weapons?=
<Gamemaster> The Captain nods.  =Just don't take anything I said the defense would keep.=
<Bryce> Walk over and picks up the CPS 3000.
<Gamemaster> =And leave enough for everyone else!=  He smiles
<Bryce> Straps backpack onto back and connects gun to backpack.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Several soldiers pair up and leave.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: A couple of people go over and start speaking with the Captain
<Agent007> walks over and takes two 40's
<werewolf> Takes an XP 110
<Bryce> Walks to the middle of the clearing and sits down.
<Agent007> =Sir, if we find the enemy do we engage?=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: One of the people talking with the Captain grabs an XP 110 and stands near Bryce. The other grabs the 175 and runs off
<Gamemaster> =Only if you can win.=
<Gamemaster> =Remember, conserve water.=
<Agent007> =hmmm, CAN I HAVE SOME BACKUP!!!!=
<Agent007> smiles
<Gamemaster> =What did you have in mind?=
<werewolf> =I will pair with you 007=
<Bryce> (werewolf, this is where you volunteer :-)
<Agent007> (werewolf what are your stats)
<Gamemaster> (by the way, I mean 275 up in the last purple, not 175)
<Gamemaster> (he's got 6 in every attribute)
<Gamemaster> (No advantages)
<Gamemaster> (Skills are aim, evasion, quickdraw, running, climbing, jumping . . .
<Gamemaster> (sprinting, swimming
<Agent007> (kind of a commando)
<Gamemaster> (stealth, navagation, tracking, negotiation, persuastion, & protocol)
<werewolf> =Ready 007?=
<Bryce> (blah, blah, blah)
<Agent007> =Yes=
<Bryce> ( :-)
<Gamemaster> (Bryce, this could get a little boring for you for awhile)
<Agent007> =Do you have a nickname?=
<werewolf> =Yes, it's werewolf=
<Bryce> =Commander, let me back them up.=
<Bryce> =They could use back-up from a big gun=
<Gamemaster> =Sorry, Private.  We need 3 defenders, and the defense needs a good gun.=
<Agent007> =Bryce you might drag us down with that big gun anyay=
<Bryce> =But, they scout, then I'll take out the base.=
<Gamemaster> (your choices have distinct and lasting effects in this type of game)
<Bryce> (good point)
<Gamemaster> =We'll be taking out the base after everyone's back=
<Gamemaster> =I'll send out an assault party.=
<Agent007> =All frontal assult?=
<Bryce> (k, well I'll just wait)
<Gamemaster> =Maybe THEN you can take that 3000 out=
<Gamemaster> =Not ALL.  Just most=
<Gamemaster> =And LATER.=
<Bryce> =Very well, sir.=-
<Bryce> (gamemaster, is this bases at all on a mud?)
<Gamemaster> (Let me stay with them for awhile Bryce, I'll come back to you.)
<Gamemaster> (No, the ground is very dry)
<Gamemaster> (although has no vegetation either)
<Gamemaster> (well, people?  Are you going to leave?)
<Bryce> (I mean is the game based on a Multi-User Dungeon)
<werewolf> =Let's go=
<Agent007> =uhhh werewolf let's go=
<Bryce> (M.U.D.)
<Agent007> =Werewolf do you have a high rank?=
<Gamemaster> (No one's got rank)
<Agent007> (sorry)
<Gamemaster> (What do you mean "Multi-User Dungeon")
<Gamemaster> (its fine)
<werewolf> =Which way 007?=
<Gamemaster> (I'd start by exiting the bushes)
<Agent007> =Right-o-=
<Agent007> exits the bushes
<werewolf> exits the bushes
<Gamemaster> (hold on while I describe the scene)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You walk out of the bushes and look across a wide landscape. To the North you see dense vegation and trees jutting out from the fence which curves inward.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Spreading out before you, framed by nearby vegetation on either side, you see a wide lawn.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: In the center, the grass disappears and four trees stand.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: A path winds around the meandering perimeter of the lawn.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: One pair of scouts from your team disappears from view to your left.
<Gamemaster> (that's it)
<Agent007> (is the fence solid?)
<Gamemaster> (no, barbed wire)
<werewolf> (what is the arrangement of the trees?)
<Gamemaster> (north or south (remember when you came in)?)
<Gamemaster> (by the way, the fence is the border)
<werewolf> (in the lawn)
<Gamemaster> (oh)
<Agent007> (are there patrols)
<Gamemaster> (There's one in the very center, with one to its North and two (side by side) to its South)
<Gamemaster> (No one is in your field of vision)
<Agent007> (yet....)
<Gamemaster> (right.)
<Gamemaster> (you're free to wait, act, continue gathering information with the game paused, or whatever)
<Agent007> =let's keep moving=
<werewolf> =right=
<Agent007> =where to werewolf?=
<Gamemaster> (His name is technically Jeff . . .)
<Agent007> (I thought werewolf was his nickname)
<Bryce> =(to man beside me) Well, at least we get to take out the base.=
<Bryce> (where's our capain)
<Gamemaster> (he's defending with you)
<werewolf> =Let's manuver around the border of the lawn=
<Gamemaster> (I'd throw in some minor skirmish, but I can't run to places at once)
<Bryce> (so there's 4?)
<Agent007> =ok=
<Gamemaster> (no, the Captain included in the 3)
<Gamemaster> (are you two going around North or South?)
<Bryce> (fine)
<Bryce> (can we all hurry up - 20 minutes to find and take out the base)
<werewolf> moves around border of lawn (north)
<Gamemaster> (we CAN overflow to another day, but the more we get in the better)
<Agent007> moves quickly and low preparing for any sudden attack to the north
<Gamemaster> (all right, let me describe again)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You start walking between the vegetation and lawn to the north. Looking up, you see the "path" widens.
<Bryce> (*yawn*)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: It goes along the back of the vegetation patch (a few meters thick), and you see a single enormous tree
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: To your left, the lawn almost touches the crest of a slope which goes down beyond it
<Agent007> (ummm are the rules one shot to a fatal area "kills" the enemy?)
<Gamemaster> (No, its counter-based)
<Bryce> (water can't kill, can it?)
<Gamemaster> (one shot, and they must drop a counter and return to base)
<Gamemaster> (three counters each)
<Agent007> (did you see titanic)
<Agent007> ( water can kill)
<Bryce> (no)
<Agent007> (everyone died)
<Bryce> (good for them)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: To your left (West), you see a glimmer of movement in the bushes near some trees on the opposite side of the lawn
<Agent007> (froze to death)
<Agent007> =Let's check that out=
<werewolf> =good idea=
<Agent007> =move in fast and low=
<Agent007> =I'll cover you=
<werewolf> moves in
<Agent007> covers jeff
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: As you begin to walk toward it, a shot of water suddenly shoots out from behind the northern most tree in the lawn, narrowly mission you
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: you turn and see that there are 5 enemy troops concealed by the trees
<Gamemaster> (I mean WERE concealed)
<Agent007> RUNS AWAY!
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You see two CPS 1000s, and 3 XXP 275s
<werewolf> (is there any cover here?)
<Agent007> or tries to at least
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Agent007> =MOOOMMMYYYY!!!!!=
<Gamemaster> (No real cover but that enormous tree you just passed)
<Bryce> (only gamemaster tells if you are successful at running away or not)
<Gamemaster> (Of course, by the time you get there you're out of range)
<Gamemaster> (which way do you want to run?)
<werewolf> Turns and runs back the way we came, evading the whole time
<Agent007> the opposite direction
<Gamemaster> (opposite what?)
<Agent007> (of the bad mean enemy people)
<Gamemaster> (That's down the slope -- out of bounds)
<Agent007> (hmmm
<Gamemaster> (I'll roll your skill dice in a minute, werewolf)
<Agent007> follows werewolf trying to evade
<Gamemaster> (all right, hold on)
<Bryce> (GAMEMASTER - it seems you were influencial in destroying the Soaked Newsletter)
<Gamemaster> (not now, Bryce)
<Bryce> (sorry)
<Agent007> (hello.......do I have lag or something....)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You both begin running away, but are unfortunately (luck of dice) both struck by blasts. You each drop one counter (as required by the rules) and continue running.
<Agent007> =AAAAAAAAA=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You run back near your base. If you enter you risk exposing it, but there is vegetation which could serve as cover to either side
<werewolf> ducks into cover on left
<Agent007> looks to see if people are following us
<Gamemaster> (look on the bright side, you're each a little closer to a skill level up)
<Agent007> and then ducks
<Bryce> (Do I see them)
<Gamemaster> no pursuit is apparent
<Agent007> (Does getting shot give me points?)
<Gamemaster> (Bryce, let me roll to see whether you see/hear them (probably, but not necessarily)
<Agent007> (bryce you might expose the base........)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Bryce hears commotion outside. The other two defenders immediately tense.
<Gamemaster> (by the way, we can continue past 6:00 if everyone has extra time)
<Bryce> =Sir, permission to go check it out.=
<Agent007> (it's day time right?)

<Agent007> hi
<Gamemaster> (All right, continue game)
<werewolf> ummm..
<Gamemaster> (you missed nothing)
<werewolf> (I got shutdown)
<Gamemaster> (its fine.  Bryce, did you want to take action?)
<Gamemaster> (oh, sorry.  didn't see it)
<Bryce> (yeah)
<Gamemaster> =All right,= your Captain whispers, =but sneak out very quietly, and right up against the fence (either side)=
<Bryce> walks out quietly
<Agent007> takes a real good hard look around
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: No opponents are visible
*** Retrieving #SS_RPG info...
<werewolf> starts crawling back to base, trying not to be seen
*** Gamemaster changes topic to 'Super Soaker RPG session in progress!'
<Gamemaster> (sorry, should've changed that topic awhile ago)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: you make it back to the base. There is still no sign of enemies
<Bryce> (did I see them)
<Gamemaster> (you saw the PCs, no one else
<Agent007> starts to stealth back to the base trying to be unseen
<Gamemaster> The Captain is surprised at your return.  =Report=
* Gamemaster OCURRENCE: 007 makes it back as well
<werewolf> =Five enemies, sir.=
<Bryce> (PCs ?)
<Agent007> =Sir, I think we've found the base....=
<Gamemaster> (Player Characters (real people))
<Gamemaster> =Be more specific, Privates!=
<werewolf> =They carry two CPS 1000's and three XXP 275's.
<Agent007> =They wouldn't put that many people in one spot if there wasn't something to guard=
<Bryce> =sir, we should take them out now, before they can amass a force to protect their base=
<Agent007> =We need more men!=
<Bryce> =one person could stay behind to forward people to us when they come in=
<Gamemaster> =Hold on, Privates!  We'd have a hard time taking them out with our current forces.=
*** Unusually_good_looking_guy (roma@legend.clubi.ie) has joined #SS_RPG
<Agent007> go away!
<Gamemaster> Who is it now?
<Bryce> =but there's only 5 of them=
<Gamemaster> We've got a game in progress!
* Bryce slaps Unusually_good_looking_guy around a bit with a large trout
* Bryce slaps Unusually_good_looking_guy around a bit with a large trout
<Gamemaster> (There's only 5 people there -- Bryce, 007, werewolf, the Captain, and one other defender)
<Agent007> Hey leave ok?
*** Retrieving #SS_RPG info...
<Bryce> =but sir, they're surely going to bring in more forces now that we've found their base=
<Bryce> =4 on 5 is better than 7 on 10=
* Bryce slaps Unusually_good_looking_guy around a bit with a large trout
<Gamemaster> (hold on, let's deal with this other chatter first)
<Gamemaster> Listen, guy, why are you here?
<Bryce> this is a private RPG
<Gamemaster> I can tolerate a spectator, but no interference
<Bryce> talk to us here.
<Bryce> are you actually here?
* Bryce slaps Unusually_good_looking_guy around a bit with a large trout
*** Unusually_good_looking_guy has quit IRC (Ping timeout for Unusually_good_looking_guy[legend.clubi.ie])
<Agent007> nevermind
<Bryce> back to game
<Gamemaster> Let's see . . . Bryce just noted 4 on 5 is better than 7 on 10
<werewolf> =But what happens if they get past us?  Up to 5 on 1?=
<Bryce> (it is)
<Agent007> =Sir that may not be their main base=
<Bryce> (good point)
<Gamemaster> =Look, we can't afford to attack now anyway.=
<Agent007> =It could be their secondary base or armory=
<Gamemaster> =All right,= your Captain says, =State all the suggestions!=
<Bryce> =If it's an armory, we should take it out.=
<Agent007> =We DON'T know that!=
<Bryce> (you should at a charachteristic such as aggression)
<werewolf> If there is nothing there
<Gamemaster> (no, personality is controlled entirely by the player)
<werewolf> (sorry)
<Agent007> =It could be anything....=
<Agent007> =Even bait for a trap......=
<Gamemaster> =SUGGESTIONS, PEOPLE!=
<Bryce> =We should wait for the other scouts to return.=
<werewolf> =If there's nothing there, then we could have just left our base open for attack.=
<Agent007> =Call in some of our scouts=
<werewolf> =We should wait for our scouts=
<Agent007> =See if they have found....anything=
<Gamemaster> =We can't call in the scouts, using verbal calls is too risky and we have no other form of communication=
<Agent007> =then we wait?=
<Bryce> =Then we should wait for them to return=
<Gamemaster> =Very well, we wait=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: ** TIME PASSES . . .
<Agent007> snores
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Two by two the scouts return
<Agent007> wakes up
========================================Session Ends========================================
=======================================Session Begins=======================================
<Gamemaster> You arrive back at the base to find numerous other people there
<Gamemaster> A quick head-count reveals that, including you, there are only nine people.
<Warwick> (Do we have the same weapons as last time ?)
<Gamemaster> (You weren't here last time)
<Warwick> (No. I was away for 2 sessions at my sisters.)
<Gamemaster> (Just say you're holding a 110, the team has an over-abundence of them)
<Adder_not_present> (try to aviod doing so much OOC talking guys)
<Warwick> (Any other weapons ? A 110 isn't that great without a sling.)
<Gamemaster> =All right, everyone's back= the Captain begins, =it's time to lay our plans.=
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Gamemaster> (there's a 3000, 2 1000s, 1 AS 275, 5 110s, 3 40s, 2 2-liter bottles, and a backpack allotted to your team)
<Warwick> (I'll take an XP 40.)
<Adder_not_present> (by the way am I present?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Everyone lowers their weapons and gathers around the Captain
<Gamemaster> (no)
<Gamemaster> (you're the missing person)
<Warwick> =Captain,I'd like to volunteer to guard the base.=
<Gamemaster> =Easy, Private!  Let's wait until I've laid out the plan structure, shall we?=
<Warwick> =Righto=
<Adder_not_present> (question, is this being logged?  make sure it is)
<Gamemaster> =Anyway, I plan to have 2 people wait here and guard the base, each with a 110.  We'll also have a 40 close by for emergencies.=
<Gamemaster> (it's being logged)
<Gamemaster> =The rest of you will take the other equipment, and attack the enemy troops guarding those trees at the center of the lawn.=
<Warwick> =I'll remain behind and guard the base. You don't need to leave anybody else as I doubt a counter-attack will be possible=
<Gamemaster> =After that, we'll proceed to attack the enemy base -- resources permitting.=
<Gamemaster> =I think we'd better have a second person just in case, if they take the base we've lost.=
<Warwick> (Got to go)
<Gamemaster> (*SIGH*)
<Warwick> (I'll be back within 15 minutes.)
<Gamemaster> (all right, you'll guard)
<Warwick> (Sorry but this can't be helped.)
*** Warwick has quit IRC (Warwick logging off)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Adder is hiding behind a tree, surrounded by shrubs, just past the lawn (with his back to the hill which is the northern boundary).
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: In view are 9 of the enemy troops -- 5 "behind" trees in the center of the lawn, and 4 at the enemy base
<Gamemaster> (more to follow)
* Gamemaster (back at base) OCCURRENCE: The troops mobilize, including the team's Captain
<Adder_not_present> (AFK, brb)
<Adder_not_present> (back)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: At the front of the team is a short person holding an XP 40, followed immediately by a person with very forgettable features holding an XP 110
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Following is a person holding one XP 110 in each hand, with two soldiers each brandishing a CPS 1000 flanking him
<Adder_not_present> (what weapon am I carrying)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Bringing up the rear is someone with a CPS 3000, next to someone with an AS 275 (who also wears a backpack with the 2 2-liter bottles)
<Gamemaster> (Adder_not_present, you're carrying an XP 40 and you're elsewhere, remember?
<Adder_not_present> (I know)
<Gamemaster> (hold on, I'm missing a counter for my map ;)
<Adder_not_present> (ooooh)
<Adder_not_present> (why don't you post a map on your page or something?)
<Gamemaster> (cause you don't have a map!)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: They move forward, beyond the bushes, and to the edge of the lawn. Four trees, straight as arrows, stand at the center; warning of hidden danger lurking behind
<Gamemaster> (hrm, I'm missing dice too . . .)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: As the assault party begins to nervously move across the lawn, a battle cry suddenly rings out from nowhere and enemy soldiers begin to step out from their cover.
<Adder_not_present> I survey the situation.
<Gamemaster> (just a reminder, you're watching all of this)
<Gamemaster> (you may sit tight or join in)
<Adder_not_present> I stand up, and yell.
<Adder_not_present> =OVER HERE!=
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Suddenly, faces from both sides lurch and forcus on your position
<Adder_not_present> =Yeah, punks!=
<Adder_not_present> I have a look of total confidence on my face.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: An enemy from the base charges toward you, brandishing a CPS 1000.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The troops at the trees see him and turn back to the assault force, clearly having bigger fish to fry.
<Adder_not_present> I run closer to the tree guys.
<Adder_not_present> But out of their range.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The trooper with the 1000 starts swinging along the path, clearly meaning to cut you off. The enemies at the trees aren't looking your direction.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The main battle forces begin exchanging shots
<Adder_not_present> Do I have any weapons other then the 40?
<Gamemaster> (no.  Also, that should have been in parantheses)
<Adder_not_present> (And is there any high ground or good cover near?)
<Adder_not_present> (hello?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You quickly glance around. Back the way you came the few trees and pathetic undergrowth offer tempting cover, but you'd have no where to run. In front of you are the trees in the lawn, good cover if they weren't occupied by enemies. To your right your options are limited by the trooper charging you with a CPS 1000, and to your right the lawn extends a short distance before meeting the downward slope. Beyond it, a large tree stands alone, but far from the battle zone.
<Gamemaster> (by the way, you can be "Adder" now)
*** Adder_not_present is now known as Adder
<Adder> hmm...
<Adder> (How many enemies are in the trees in the lawn?)
<Gamemaster> (5)
<Gamemaster> (that could have been (without ()), "I look to see how many enemies are on the lawn")
<Adder> (are they concentrating totally on the other force?)
<Gamemaster> (yes, they apparently assume that the 1000 is enough to take you out)
<Gamemaster> (however, you're as close to the nearest enemy on the lawn as the 1000 is to you)
<Adder> Ok.  I run down the path away from the 1000, at full speed, towards the enemies in the trees.
<Adder> As FAST as possible
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Gamemaster> (The enemies in the trees . . . the trees are in the center of the lawn, the path doesn't go that way)
<Gamemaster> (Also, the 1000 and tree enemies are all slightly south of your position)
<Gamemaster> (but mostly on opposite sides)
<Adder> I just wanna go towards the Lawn.
<Adder> (If I had a map I would remember this stuff.)
<Gamemaster> (you're concentrating on speed alone, or also trying not to be noticed by the tree enemies?)
*** Warwick (Warwick@ltbrpx02-port-2.agt.net) has joined #SS_RPG
<Warwick> Back
<Gamemaster> (Hi, Warwick.  Nothing's happening at the base.)
<Warwick> (What's happened that I missed ? A breif summary.)
<Adder> (yes)
<Adder> (yeah, I am, GM)
<Gamemaster> (Adder, who was hiding near the enemy base, is now attacking from behind the enemies occupying the trees as 7 other friendlies attack from the front.  A guy with a 1000 is chasing him)
<Gamemaster> (yes concentrating on speed alone?)
<Adder> (yeah.)
<Warwick> (Do I have the 40 or the 110 ?
<Warwick> )
<Gamemaster> (you've got a 110, but there's a 40 lying next to you)
<Gamemaster> (you can't actually see any of this)
<Warwick> (Who's my partner at the base ?)
<Gamemaster> (NPC)
<Warwick> (I'll call him Dark. I don't know why. Sounds like an okay name.:-))
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Adder runs toward the enemies at the trees. As he moves closer, one of the enemies (holding a 110) turns around, startled, and sees him. He immediately calls out.
<Adder> (Um, what's happened?
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The person with the 1000 is beginning to overtake you. You are within weapons range of all 6 enemies.
<Gamemaster> (no, wait)
<Adder> I fake yell, convincingly as possible.   =AAH!=
<Warwick> =Dark,I'm going to take the 40 instead of this 110. I'll scout out the area outside the base.=
<Gamemaster> (cancel that, you're within range of the 1000 and only 2 of the tree enemies)
<Gamemaster> =Um, the Captain ordered us to stay here.=
<Adder> (Do I have high ground?)
<Gamemaster> (hold on Jon, Warwick's up to something)
<Warwick> =The Captain dosen't know what he's talking about. This base is concealed. I'll be just outside.=
<Gamemaster> =But they might see you and guess the base's location!=
<Warwick> Warwick steps outside the bushes and begins a patrol away from the bushes to prevent the enemies from seeing him.
<Gamemaster> (hold on, I'll write a description)
<Warwick> =Dark,I heard a yell and there might be trouble. I'll be a few meters away=
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Gamemaster> (let me describe it; you don't dictate fate this time)
<Warwick> (I never dictate fate. I only do that onboard the Lion Heart.)
<Adder> (um well I did yell)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You step out of the bushes, and can see through a narrow window between two rows of trees in front of you that the battle on the lawn is fierce
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You hear a familiar voice yell "Ahh!"
<Warwick> (And me being the great humanitarian would go outside to check the status and beat the bejabbers out of any enemies.)
<Gamemaster> (you're going to charge out there now?  well, if you want . . .)
<Gamemaster> ( . . .)
<Warwick> Warwick quickly returns to the base to take the 110 in addition then returns outside knowing that a higher level of firepower and water might be needed to assist in the battle.
<Gamemaster> =Wait!= Dark yells frantically
<Gamemaster> =What are you doing!?=
<Warwick> =I'm going to go see if they need assistance in the battle. They said they would have a resource problem so I'm going to take the 110. You still have a 110 and I'll be close by.=
<Gamemaster> =But we already outnumber them!  Resource could only be a problem for the second battle!=
<Gamemaster> (Just a reminder, you both still have all 3 tokens)
<Warwick> =Then I'll remain close by.=
<Adder> I charge the enemies in the trees.
<Warwick> (What's a token for ? The same idea as in that relay race game ?)
<Gamemaster> (specifically?)
<Adder> All at the same time walking fire across as many of them as possible.
<Gamemaster> (all right, everyone hold on)
<Gamemaster> (Every time you get hit, you must drop a token and return to base.  If you lose all tokens, you're eliminated.)
*** Bryce (bkustra@c7961-001.v-wave.com) has joined #SS_RPG
<Gamemaster> (hold on, Bryce)
<Bryce> sorry!  forgot
<Bryce> (K)
<Warwick> (Can I pick up another players token ?)
<Gamemaster> (no)
<Warwick> (Aw,nuts. I mean... Aw,nuts.)
<Gamemaster> (Adder, in the trees the enemies are as follows: 4 people armed with 1 XP 110 each, 1 person armed with an XXP 275)
<Gamemaster> (now, let me summarize for Bryce)
<Bryce> (thanx)
<Gamemaster> (All the scouts returned, except Adder who was hiding nearby the enemy base (between the 5 enemies guarding the trees and it)
<Gamemaster> (An assault team was assembled; 2 people stayed behind with 2 XP 110s and 1 40 to guard the base (this includes Warwick))
<Gamemaster> (Warwick has now taken the 40 and one of the 110s out to attack as well)
<Gamemaster> (meanwhile, Adder jumped into the fray from behind)
<Bryce> (so am I attacking with the 3000?)
<Gamemaster> (attracting the attention of an enemy with a 1000 from the enemy base, in addition to the 5 guarding the trees)
<Warwick> (My inventory right now is an XP 40 (Left hand) and an XP 110 in my right hand. The 40 is full as is the 110. I'm currently outside the base a fair distance away but not quite in the battle although I can see it.)
<Gamemaster> (YOU are attacking with the main party, with the 3000)
<Adder> (SO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENS ALREADY)
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Gamemaster> (The other attackers are as follows: person with a 40, person with a 110, person with 2 110s, 2 people with a 1000 each, person with AS 275 and a backpack with 4 liters of water (in bottles), and you)
<Warwick> Warwick walks into the battle and fires at the enemy in the trees (The one with the XXP 275.)
<Gamemaster> (you're getting that close?  Are you dodging too?)
<Gamemaster> (we're resuming action, by the way)
<Warwick> (Yes I am. I think my team could use the assistance.)
<Gamemaster> (all right, hold on and let me roll)
<Warwick> (waiting)
<Adder> (hum de dum, this game could go faster)
<Warwick> (Hey,rolling takes a bit of time. BTW are we continuing beyond 6 PM ?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Warwick charges forward, firing madly. He is hit by return fire, but fails to hit his own target. He drops a token and BEGINS returning to base
<Gamemaster> (if everyone can)
<Warwick> (I can)
<Gamemaster> (we'll go until someone needs to leave)
<Gamemaster> (Jon? Bryce?  actions?)
<Warwick> (For a limited extent. BTW I've got some ideas on how to improve this game I'll E-Mail you later.)
<Gamemaster> (OK)
<Bryce> (sure.)
<Warwick> (Do I have to pressurize weapons ?)
<Adder> Like I said, I charge the enemies in the tree trying to dodge and kill as many as possible.
<Gamemaster> (I'll assume you do it on your way back)
<Warwick> Warwick returns to the base.
<Gamemaster> (Concentrating more on dodging or killing part?)
<Adder> (Killing)
<Adder> (taking out as many as possible)
<Gamemaster> (any particular targets?)
<Adder> (the longest range weapons)
<Bryce> moves a few fet forward and takes cover near trees, leaving him _ feet from the enemy.
<Warwick> Warwick enters the base.
<Gamemaster> (That stretches the limit of even a 3000)
<Gamemaster> (hold on, I'll roll for Jon)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Adder hits one nearby enemy with a 110
<Adder> (I hope my team exploits this)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: But is immediately struck down by return fire
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: the person with the 1000 takes the place of the enemy Adder killed, as he returns to base)
<Warwick> (Don't worry Jon. I'll be coming back soon. Perhaps Bryce could help you out.)
<Adder> (No problem at all.)
<Gamemaster> (Luck of the dice, sorry)
<Bryce> Bryce ducks out from tree and fires at opponant.
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Warwick> (How many tokens do the enemies each have ?)
<Gamemaster> (same, you don't know how many presently)
<Warwick> (Just to note this Warwick is currently outside the base and waiting.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Bryce fires the 3000 forward at the trees, and hits another enemy (who is holding a 110)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: No return fire comes (yet)
<Adder> (how long until I can return?)
<Warwick> =Dark,come on out of the base. Our team is taking damage. Adder's been hit.= Warwick yells.
<Bryce> Ducks back behind tree
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The two teams continue exchanging fire. Soldiers are hit.
<Gamemaster> (Adder, you can return as soon as you've been back to base once)
<Bryce> (how many on our side?)
<Warwick> =If we both target one individual we might be able to perform a great deal of damage.=
<Adder> Well, I return to the base.
<Adder> Quickly.
<Gamemaster> Dark replies feverishly =I-I-I think I'd better stay here and guard, what if someone breaks through and there are no defenders?=
<Warwick> Warwick runs to the battle and dodges fire.
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Bryce> (is warwick on the front lines with me?)
<Adder> (am I there yet?)
<Warwick> (Just so you know I've got full tanks minus one shot from the XP 40.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Warwick dodges three shots, although only two were directed at him
<Warwick> (I think I am. However I'm dodging fire.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Adder arrives back at the base.
<Gamemaster> (Warwick is in FRONT of you!)
<Gamemaster> (You're at the outskirts, Bryce!)
<Bryce> Move towards Warick
<Gamemaster> (Warwick is actively moving himself.  Reconsider action or no?)
<Bryce> (no)
<Adder> I look at "Dark".  =Hey man, what happened to you?=
<Warwick> Warwick shoots at the attacker (The one who shot Jon.) with the XP 110 and XP 40 while dodging return fire. 
<Gamemaster> =I'm guarding the base.=  He looks around nervously
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Bryce> =Warwick, on 3 let's fire at the guy on the left.=
<Bryce> =1=
<Bryce> =2=
<Bryce> =3=
<Warwick> Warwick fires on the guy on the left.
<Bryce> Bryce fires at guy on the left
<Adder> =Look, buddy.  I don't think you should be so scared.  The whole force is far away from here.  Don't worry.=
<Adder> =I was there.=
<Adder> I find the spigget and reload my 40.
<Warwick> (Got to go in 10 min.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Warwick fires and misses, and is hit again
<Gamemaster> (you DO know you don't have evasion skill, don't you?)
<Warwick> (What's Evasion skill ?)
<Bryce> (did I hit?)
<Gamemaster> (its a physical skill, helps you dodge fire)
<Warwick> (Where's the spigget ?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Bryce strikes the opponent
<Warwick> (How do I use it ?)
<Gamemaster> (I roll it each time you dodge)
<Warwick> =Hey,you. You with the CPS 1000. Come over here.=
<Adder> (What's the object of this skrimis, again?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Bryce dodges on blast, but is hit by another
<Bryce> (how many enemies are left)
<Gamemaster> (this is a practice.  Warwick, you were hit, you should be heading back.)
<Warwick> (Are our tokens replenished between sessions.)
<Bryce> Bryce returns fire.
<Warwick> Warwick returns to the base running.
<Bryce> And heads back.
<Adder> (I know but how do we win?)
<Warwick> Warwick enters the base
<Bryce> Bryce enters base.
<Warwick> Warwick leaves the base.
<Bryce> And quickly returns back the the battlefield.
<Gamemaster> (Warwick, there is no spigget)
<Gamemaster> (Adder, what're you up to?)
<Adder> (HOW DO WE WIN)
<Gamemaster> (YOu capture the enemy base)
<Adder> (I was just sitting here)
<Bryce> Bryce takes cover behind a tree.
<Adder> (as in get 1 guy in or kill all defenders?)
<Adder> (and how's our main force doing?)
<Gamemaster> (as in drive all live defenders out of the base and get one guy inside)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You survey the main force
<Warwick> Warwick ties the XP 40 to his belt and pumps the XP 110 to full power. He returns to the battlefield EVADING fire. (As in using my evasion skill.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You find that, it being near your base, all your troops are still outside fighting, although probably most with less than 3 tokens
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The enemies don't seem to be getting reinforcements fast enough, their numbers are lagging
<Gamemaster> (Warwick, you're UNTRAINED in evasion)
<Gamemaster> (And tie to your belt with what?)
<Bryce> =Everyone, we ruch on 3.=
<Bryce> =1=
<Bryce> =2=
<Bryce> =3!=
<Gamemaster> (hold on)
<Bryce> Bryce and numerous others rush the enemy.
<Bryce> (sorry)
<Warwick> (Can't you attach something to your belt by running your belt through the trigger and depressurizing.)
<Warwick> (Warwick is included in this crowd who rush the enemy.)
<Adder> Ok, good enough.  I pick up my 40 and walk north.
<Warwick> (What is the enemy status right now ?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The entire force charges forward, firing madly. Three friends drop in the attack, but all enemies are shot. No reinforcements arrive for the moment
<Adder> I take advantage and try to go north towards my force.
<Bryce> Bryce (and warwick if you want) continue forward.
<Warwick> (Yipee) =Are they dead ?=
<Gamemaster> (hold on, I need more time to type)
<Warwick> I continue forward along with the main force unhooking the XP 40 from my belt and pressureizing it.
<Adder> (This path goes through woods, right?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Adder heads north to the side of the battlefield, and spies the spot he hid in before. The main force continues moving forward through the center of the battlefield, and see three large trees ahead. There appear to be some enemies a short distance behind them.
<Gamemaster> (Warwick, I remind you that you have only 1 token left)
<Bryce> (how much farther?)
<Warwick> (I know but I have to leave in 4 minutes anyways.)
<Adder> As soon as I get to the enemy, I head north and start stealthing up into the forest.
<Gamemaster> (After the lawn ends, there's only a couple meters before the first tree.  You're about 5 meters from the edge of the lawn now)
<Adder> My plan is to get a hiding spot next to that path so when and if they come back I'll snipe them.
<Warwick> Warwick follows Bryce because he seems to know what he's doing.
<Gamemaster> (Adder, the enemy is WEST, not NORTH)
<Adder> (Whatever, just go towards them.)
<Warwick> (Where is the enemy base ?)
<Gamemaster> (following main force?)
<Bryce> (how many enemies?)
<Gamemaster> (The enemy base appears to be behind those trees up ahead
<Adder> (Okay, there's trees in front of their base, right?
<Adder> (Allright cancel that plan.)
<Gamemaster> (You can't count, the trees obstruct the view.  Probably most or all of the entire remaining enemy force.
<Gamemaster> (There's 3 trees in front of their base)
<Adder> (I can't tell where anything is in this.)
<Gamemaster> I'd give a detailed descripton, but no time.
<Adder> (Big thick ones?)
<Bryce> Bryce stops.
<Gamemaster> (BIG, *THICK* ones!)
<Bryce> Loudly yelling =Everyone, stop here to regroup.=
<Gamemaster> (hrm . . . looks like I have to go)
========================================Session Ends========================================
=======================================Session Begins=======================================
<Gamemaster> /me OCCURRENCE:  Your team's forces spread backwards from the edge of the lawn closest to the enemy base, spreading back between the trees at the center of the lawn.
<Gamemaster> /me OCCURRENCE:  To your left (south) the lawn extends all the way to the barbed wire fence marking the edge of the playing field, to your right the lawn stops a couple feet short of the downward slope marking the boundary on the other side.  Behind you, two areas of dense vegetation frame the bushes, slightly farther back, which conceal your base.
<Gamemaster> /me OCCURRENCE:  Spread out before you is nearly half the battlefield.  The lawn 
<Gamemaster> let me try that again
<Warwick> (BTW if you have problems keeping documents dry put them in card sheets and put them on your clipboard.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Your team's forces spread backwards from the edge of the lawn closest to the enemy base, spreading back between the trees at the center of the lawn.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: To your left (south) the lawn extends all the way to the barbed wire fence marking the edge of the playing field, to your right the lawn stops a couple feet short of the downward slope marking the boundary on the other side. Behind you, two areas of dense vegetation frame the bushes, slightly farther back, which conceal your base.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Spread out before you is nearly half the battlefield. The lawn cuts backwards to your right, but extends further forward to your left before flattening out. Along the meandering curve of the lawn stretches a wide path, marked by the pebbles concealing the terrain beneath it.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: At the northern end of the battlefield, an area of sparce ivy speckled with trees grows from the far end of the battlefield almost up to your position, and its southern border meets another part of the path as it forks away from you. At the opposite end, the path curves away from the lawn near the south to avoid a single tree, and then forks left and right around another two trees, with one path leading off the battlefield. The second path curves backward around a small hill with three trees forming an equilateral triange, which the branch of the first (norhern) fork goes be
<Warwick> (Will my aim improve if I drop the 40 ?)
<Gamemaster> (probably, but I suggest you read the text for now)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: behind as well.
<Warwick> (I can read quite well actually.)
<Gamemaster> (Yes, but there's a lot of it and I want to get the game moving)
<Warwick> (Move away.)
<Gamemaster> (werewolf, you done reading that too?)
<werewolf> (yes)
<Gamemaster> The Captain looks around. =Hey!= he shouts at Warwick, =weren't you supposed to be guarding the base?=
<Warwick> =Yes but I saw you guys getting attacked and decided to join you. Dark's still at the base.=
<Gamemaster> =Um, the plan was that WE *ATTACK* the enemies.=
<Gamemaster> =We left two people at the base to guard it against a counterattack=
<Gamemaster> (werewolf, you can jump in any time if you want)
<Warwick> =And I saw the enemies counterattacking you. If I remained at the base it would be highly unlikely that the enemies would reach it and even if they did the first battle would be fought there. I intended to be ready.=
<werewolf> (are there any enemies around?)
<Gamemaster> (no enemies in sight at this time)
<Warwick> Warwick sets down the 40 and pumps the 110.
<Warwick> (BTW how do I become trained in something ?)
<Gamemaster> The Captain sighs.  =All right, let's have SOMEONE head back to the base.=
<Gamemaster> (you practice it a lot)
<Warwick> (I mean you said I was untrained in Evasion. HOw do I become trained.)
<Warwick> =I guess I'll go back to the base=
<Gamemaster> (You evade a lot and get lukcy)
<Gamemaster> The Captain is visibly relieved. =Thank you.=
*** Warwick (WarWick@ltbrpx06-port-51.agt.net) has left #SS_RPG
<werewolf> (Do we know the position of their base?)
<Gamemaster> (Straight ahead)
<Gamemaster> =All right= the Captain says in a loud voice, =let's do it!=
*** Warwick (WarWick@ltbrpx06-port-51.agt.net) has joined #SS_RPG
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The troops begin charging toward the enemy base.
<werewolf> (Where did Warwick go?)
<Warwick> (I'm at the base guarding.)
*** Warwick has quit IRC (Admiral Warwick logging off)
<werewolf> Charges along with rest of troops.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: From the tree at the left, a shot comes out
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: An enemy troops holding an XXP 275 steps out
<werewolf> Looks for cover
<Gamemaster> You see no possible cover without running deeper into the enemy base
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Your teammates begin firing at the opponent. He ducks back behind the tree.
<werewolf> Fires a shot at the enemy and continues charging at the base
<Gamemaster> (hold on a sec)
<Gamemaster> Your shot goes wide of the tree
<Gamemaster> no target was hit
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: As you move deeper into the enemy base, two more enemies with 110s step out from behind the other trees on your left.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The front tree in the center area no longer conceals an enemy troops with a CPS 2500
<Gamemaster> You are fired at.
<Gamemaster> (dodge?)
<werewolf> dodges
<Gamemaster> Evasion successful
<werewolf> Fires a shot at guy with 2500
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: A blast reaches out from your own weapon to strike the enemy holding the 2500. Two more shots come at you from the enemies with the 110s
<werewolf> dodges
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You dodge both shots. The enemy with the 2500 steps back behind one of the trees slightly further forward and exits your field of vision
<werewolf> shoots at enemies holding 110s
<Gamemaster> (in rapid succession or in timed sequence?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Your teammates shot the enemy with the 275 and begin charging forward under your lead
<werewolf> (in rapid succession)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Both your shots hit. The enemies each drop their last token and leave the battlefield.
<werewolf> continues charging at enemy base
<Gamemaster> (don't let it go to your head, you're getting VERY lucky)
<Gamemaster> (hold on, let me write the description)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: You move forward and can now see all 8 of the remaining enemies. On the far side (n/s) of the battlefield, two enemies with 110s guard the other approach. Here, you can see two enemies with CPS 1000s from behind the trees, with the same enemy with the CPS 2500 backing them up. Three enemies, each with an XXP 275, are next to a hammock.
<Gamemaster> The hammock is the center of the enemy base.
<werewolf> (Any cover?)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: War cries ring out and both teams begin exchanging fierce fire. Three shots come your way within the first 15 seconds
<werewolf> dodges
<Gamemaster> You search for cover, but find none except the three trees which hid your first three assailants.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The first two shots fly by, but the third shot hits you. You drop your second of three tokens and begin back to your base.
<werewolf> runs back to the base
<Gamemaster> you see only Warwick and the other defender.  They ask you for news
<werewolf> =8 enemies left.  The rest of our group is still attacking them=
*** RecruWarwick (RecruWarw@ltbrpx01-port-2.agt.net) has joined #SS_RPG
<werewolf> =They have mainly heavy weapons left=
<RecruWarwick> (Status please.)
*** RecruWarwick is now known as Warwick
<Gamemaster> (werewolf is back at the base after being hit)
<Warwick> Is here there permenently ?
<Gamemaster> (your team's forces are attacking the enemy base, when werewolf left them there were 8 enemies left)
<Gamemaster> (You each have 1 token left)
<Gamemaster> (I think he was about to leave and re-join the fighting . . .)
<Warwick> (Can I join in the attack ?)
<Warwick> (I
<werewolf> (Are there any extra weapons here?)
<Gamemaster> (Your character may attempt to do anything you wish)
<Warwick> (I'll go back with Werewolf.)
<Warwick> I'm going to the battle. 
<Gamemaster> (Currently present is werewolf, Warwick, "Dark" (other defender), three 110s and 1 40
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: As you return, the fighting is less dense. Several players have been eliminated on both sides.
<werewolf> Returns to battle
<Gamemaster> (is werewolf coming back as well?)
<Gamemaster> (ok)
<Warwick> (I previously dropped the XP 40 on the battlefield but not inside the base.)
<Warwick> Warwick dodges enemy fire and tries to make out who is still remaining.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: including yourselves, there are 7 people left on your team
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: There are 6 enemies left
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Apparently one of the enemies has now switched to an XP 40
<Warwick> Warwick pumps his 110.
<Warwick> (Warwick has only a 110 BTW.)
<Gamemaster> (I know)
<werewolf> (What did the enemy holding the 40 previously hold?)
<Warwick> (Would that affect my aim ?)
<Gamemaster> (Warwick: only slightly)
<Gamemaster> (werewolf: you don't know, you don't keep track of enemies personally that well)
<Warwick> (Wars are won in the small details.)
<Warwick> Warwick continues to watch the opponents while hiding.
<Warwick> (Does this let me know what the enemies have ?)
<Gamemaster> The remaining enemies hold as follows: 1 CPS 2500, 1 1000, 1 275, 2 110, 1 40
<Gamemaster> (They're not exactly concealed at this point)
<werewolf> (Where am I?)
<Warwick> Warwick shoots the enemy with a 110 while dodging return fire.
<Gamemaster> (Last I knew, you were both on the fringes of the battle; about at the lawn)
<Gamemaster> (hold on, I'll roll)
<werewolf> Shoots the enemy holding the 275
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Warwick misses and is hit by return fire. He drops his final token and leaves the battlefield.
<Gamemaster> (you may remain in IRC and watch)
<Warwick> I'm out of the game then ?
<Gamemaster> (you're out of the game-within-the-game)
<Warwick> Warwick walks back to the base.
<Warwick> (Why do I always miss ?)
<Gamemaster> (your roll is 6+, and you just don't seem to roll that high . . .)
<Warwick> (That's alot better than my fellow companions.)
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: werewolf hits the enemy with the 275. Two shots come back his way from the enemies with the 110s
<Gamemaster> (werewolf has 4+ for both Aim and Evasion)
<werewolf> dodges
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: werewolf dodges the first blast but is hit by the second. He loses his final token.
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The game continues as follows:
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Three of your teammates turn and move around the center three-tree area to attack from the other side as a 3000 and AS 275 continue to attack from the side you were on
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Two enemies make the mistake of hiding from one party behind a tree only to be hit by the other. The last three enemies make a final stand at the hamock
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Moving to fire at them straight on from next to the center tree closest to your base, your teammate with the 3000 shoots and strikes two of them, one of which still has a spare marker but the other of which is out
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: The teams are now:
* Gamemaster ENEMY: 1 CPS 1000, 1 XXP 275
* Gamemaster YOUR TEAM: 1 CPS 3000, 1 AS 275, 1 XP 110
* Gamemaster OCCURRENCE: Your teammates close in, firing in tandem. Only the person with the AS 275 is shot down before both enemies are eliminated and the base taken.
<Warwick> (Whoever can use an AS 275 at close range and be shot is a poor officer.)
<Gamemaster> All players from both teams meet at the center of the field to listen to the standard lecture from the training sgt.
<Gamemaster> =Excellent game, by all!=
<Gamemaster> =I congratulate everyone on their skill displayed in this game!  We'll give a good lesson to anyone who opposes us!=
<Gamemaster> =Well, its late, and that completes training for today.  Everyone go home and get some rest, I'll be handing out your next missions tomorrow.=
