Another GUard Story

[casualUcalegon]

This one stars the same menace as the last one. We were all fighting one of oUr Denizens, fUck me if I can remember who it belonged to. I know we're not sUpposed to fight them Until the MatUrity qUests are done, bUt fUck that it was oUr first session.

Any case, this happened after the GUard Tiered her boyfriend bUt before she forcefUlly Tiered me. We're fighting MedUsa, things are going somewhat well becaUse we had her as oUtnUmbered as a primitive planet to the fleet. I'm on official debUff dUty, which was fine since I rather don't like jUst rUnning Up and hitting things. Too risky. I drew some complaints from not giving enoUgh warning before deafening everything in earshot, bUt whatever.

First of all, MedUsa is an asshole. Flying people + petrification powers = not fUn. Had to keep oUr eyes to the groUnd and rely on spotters and mirrors, Ugh.

Secondly, did U know that when someone is petrified and shattered they take a lot longer to resUrrect than normal? Even after the Denizen who caUsed it is dead?

YUp, MedUsa tricked Us into thinking the Guard's boyfriend died a Heroic death. More immediately dangeroUs, she tricked the GUard into thinking the boyfriend died a Heroic death. She flipped her shit.

I ran and shoved the Stars player between me and her becaUse like hell was I going to be the closest person to her in that state. We were in the same sqUad together; I knew how she reacts to shit like that. UsUally it's repressed Until an acceptable target comes along since acting oUt is not a good thing in the military, bUt we had no sUch restrictions in-game. Starry was Tiered and coUld revive. I wasn't.

Good thing I had, since she immediately did the attack-the-nearest-person thing, who happened to be Starry. GUard tried to pistol-whip Starry's skUll in, took an axe-blade to the chest (nonfatally, bUt reqUiring serioUs heals), and probably woUld have been cUlled if her boyfriend hadn't revived jUst then.

The resUlting soppy pityfest was nearly as Unpleasant as the shit-flipping. Gag me. Also, that girl really fUcking needs a moirail before she pUlls shit like that again. Any volUnteers?

I am not sure what that is, but If it helps keeping your coplayer calm, I'll ask around if some of the other Sages has some?

[casualUcalegon]

"It" is a role not a thing.

Feel free to ask Ur Sages thoUgh; it will be hilarioUs to see what they come Up with.

[tungstenTinkerer]

... Yeah, that would have been handy to know before I talked to LS about it and he said he has no idea but they'll FIND OUT THROUGH ALCHEMY and I got an worried message from VP saying one of his coplayers just locked himself in a magicant room with an alchemiter and a mad look in their eyes.

ActUally, yoU're not sUpposed to fight them at all.

Like, not even then.

YoU're sUpposed to talk to them, do a bUnch of qUests for them, grow to like them (or at least not hate them) and then they'll ask yoU to kill them. They won't even defend themselves at that point.

I noticed in yoUr log that yoU were wondering how yoU were sUpposed to fight your current Denizen? That's the answer. YoU don't. YoU have to talk to him instead.

EDIT FUck, Rangoon. Time to go eat a bug or something I gUess.

TT: Heh heh. Tell me what they tUrn Up, will U?

ED: I know that now. I still hate that gUy, thoUgh. AUgh he's sUch a pretentioUs asshole.

Everybody: Any of U had players go on apeshit crazy breaks like that before? Ones that don't jUst tUrn and stay PK?
