^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THE MAYHEM CONTINUES ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  * The next bout is Leech vs. Rowan. *  * They tangle like champions. Rowan puts a spur between the ork's eyes. *  * You are all brought out to the center after the body is removed....Back in a column of twos, minus one troll guard. *  * Mikrob speaks to the remaining five of you. *  * #"Rest up, gentleman...For the New Underground requires more blood very soon!"# *  * The crowd roars. *  * You're all brought back to the cell under guard. *  * Nova, as you enter, you notice Anne is gone from her cell. *  * Nova, a smaller ork breaks through the guards and approaches you calmly. He's dressed in filthy rawhide leathers, with native american adornments. *  * The guards level SMG's at Nova and the ork lays his hand on the elf's chest. *  * He looks up at you, Nova. "There is nothing I can do for him." *  * He walks back into the group. *  * The entourage retreats from the cell, locking the door. *  * They leave, drowning you all once again in blackness. *  * Glitch, it's back to black for you, buddy. *  * Nova, your low-light kicks in, and Tony can see just fine with his thermal vision. * <Tony> "What was all that about?" <Nova> "It's their mage, or shaman, or something." <Tony> "Did they try and save that ork you butchered?" <Glitch> "Doesnt matter..." <Nova> "Eh?" <Glitch> "I'd rather be blind than have to watch a bloodbath like that again.." <GM> * They were. * <Tony> "Well you can't blame me, I didn't even kill the cyclops" <Nova> "Hotwire, you should practice." <Nova> "Simple jabs and strikes." <Tony> "Yeah, blades don't do much good if you can't use them" <Nova> "And try some pushups." <Glitch> "Who, me?" <Nova> "Yes, you." <Glitch> "What we NEED to do is get the hell out of here, not train to become better 'entertainers'." <Nova> "You CAN'T get out of here." <Glitch> "There has to be a way." <Nova> "Yes, but not for us." <Tony> "Even if we got out of this cell, we would be underground in a cave full of orks and trolls" <Nova> "You might be interested in the fact that my partner from the other cell wasn't there last time I looked." <Glitch> "I don't want to live the rest of my like in this shithole, even if I only have a few days left to live." <Tony> "We all want to leave" <Tony> "But right now we are pretty much stuck" <Nova> "Besides, they might be watching us." <Glitch> "So you'd rather spend the rest of your days as fraggin' SLAVES?!" <Nova> "It won't be a long life.." <Glitch> "Right, so we might as well die trying on OUR terms, not theirs." <Tony> "Ok, you come up with an idea, you tell us" <Nova> "Now I just need some R&R." <GM> * Nova, NOW you need sleep. * <Tony> "Sounds like a good idea" <Glitch> "Hrm...." <Nova> ((so we all sleep, ff to the first one who wakes up)) <Glitch> ((i decide to stay up and work on those jabs after all)) <GM> * Glitch, your companions get some shut eye. You start fighting against the dark, literally. * <GM> * Not killing anybody yet... *
 * Tony follows as he is supposed to, assuming he is being lead back to the cell now.
 * Tony grumbles under his breath.
 * Nova keeps silent, forgeting even to try and orient himself in the tunnels
 * Tony turns and watches with interest
 * Nova looks at him but stays silent
 * Nova suddenly realizes who that was, and why he said what he said.
 * Tony goes over to the orks and tries to learn their bone game (if they weren't the dead ones)
 * Tony waddles over to his corner again, sitting down to get some rest after that hit to the head.
 * Nova sits against the same wall in the same place and rests.
 * Nova still remembers how close to the other side he got...
 * Nova presses his back against the wall and closes his eyes.
 * Tony also tries his best to fall asleep.
 * Glitch tentatively stabs a few hits in the dark

<GM> * IN GAME KARMA! * <Nova> ((YAAAY)) <GM> * Glitch, you get 1, Nova 2, Tony 3. * <GM> * Spend it now or save it. * <GM> * Choose now. * <Tony> ((ok, consider it saved)) <GM> * Tony, you save it. * <Nova> ((save it, nothing I can do with just 2 karma points)) <GM> ((glitch, maybe buy a skill of 1 in cyber implant combat)) <GM> ((which is a GOOD ASS IDEA)) <Glitch> (Hmm. good idea))

---

<GM> * Glitch, you wear yourself out shadowboxing, the dead man's face flashing in your head. * <GM> * You gain a skill level of 1 in cyber implant combat. * <GM> * You go until your arms are numb and you easily fall into a slumber. * <GM> * Glitch, you don't dream. Nova, you awaken first. * <Nova> ?anything changed? <GM> * Your feeling much better in the head. * <GM> * Now 1L. * <Nova> ((that's physical? no mental, right?)) <GM> ((yes. mental is gone)) <Nova> ?what are the other occupants doing? <GM> * Sleeping. * <Nova> ?everyone? <GM> * Pretty much. A few stirrings here and there. * <GM> * Oscar, who now calls himself Glitch, is sleeping in a puddle of sweat. * <GM> * Solid. * <GM> * Tony, you dream of spaghetti. * <Glitch> ((lol)) <Tony> (yay!)) <GM> * It's barred. * <Nova> ((describe in detail if you please)) <GM> * Bars, about 4 inches in circumference. Solid metal. Spaced about 2 inches from one another. Bars a troll couldn't get through. * <Nova> ?what about the hinges of the door, the lock? <GM> * Hinges are overlapped by the wall. Since it opens outward, you presume there's a groove beyond your sight. * <GM> * The lock is also outside of your reach, in the wall. * <Nova> "Well, we're not getting out by force." <Nova> ((say 10 minutes)) <GM> * An hour later the door opens and the guards return, they bang pipes against the bars and start throwing in pieces of cooked meat and some potatoes. "RISE AND SHINE LADIES!" * <GM> * They do the same for the women, yelling things at your cages like, "DINNER TIME!" "COME AND GET IT!" and "GOOD BOY! EAT ALL YOUR FOOD!" <GM> * Nova, you realize that, being an elf, you can't digest meats. *
 * Nova stands up and stretches
 * Nova looks around the cell
 * Nova walks catiously not to step on anyone and closely inspects the walls of his prison
 * Nova walks to the cell door
 * Nova takes time to practice a few of his own combat moves
 * Nova leaves the potatoes and gets the meat.
 * Tony crawls over to the food as fast as he can, trying to get his share, pushing people out of the way if necessary

<Nova> ((?WHAT?!)) <Glitch> ((he cant?)) <GM> ((Elves are herbivores)) <TakOff> (( since when? )) <GM> ((since sr2)) <Glitch> ((HAHAHAHAHAAA)) <Nova> ((WHERE IS IT STATED?!)) <GM> ((SR2)) <Nova> ((NO WAY)) <GM> ((sucks to be you tree hugger!)) <Glitch> ((roflmao!)) <Nova> ((NO, FUCKIN, WAY)) <GM> ((even Ghost had to settle for just pasta and tomatoe sauce)) <GM> ((note the dan quayle 'e')) <Nova> ((no, I'm not using this rule, you can kill me)) <GM> ((everyone thinks elves are so cool until they can't have a nice juicy steak!)) <Glitch> ((hahahaha))

<GM> * Tony attacks the food, throwing poor, helpless orks and humans aside. * <GM> * The guards laugh at the spectical. * <GM> * Tony, gonna give any to your new friends? * <GM> * Nova, you grab some almost rotten potatoes and chow down. * <GM> * Yum, rancid potatoes. * <GM> * Glitch, you? * <GM> * Glitch, Tony offers you food. * <GM> * It's meat. * <GM> * Tastes like heaven, Glitch. * <Nova> ((human meat, from the guy you killed yesterday)) <Glitch> ((that, i didnt need to know :P )) <GM> * Glitch scarfs down the food he can get his hands on. * <GM> * The ork guards throw Nova a carrot and a fourth of a head of lettuce. *
 * Nova gets to the food
 * Tony lets them have some
 * Tony just wanted to make sure he got his share
 * Glitch takes the food, feels it and sniffs it ((im as good as blind in here :P ))
 * Glitch takes a tentative bite
 * Glitch begins devouring his meal
 * Tony looks out while the door is open to see if One-Eye is back on the job

<Glitch> ((lol)) <Nova> ((fuck you!)) <GM> ((ROFL)) <Nova> ((it's not even funny when you make us do wthings we DONT WANT TO)) <GM> ((ROFL)) <Nova> ((it's sadistic, low, and childish)) <GM> ((you get extra food fucker...i;ve let you eat meat since day 1 remember?)) <GM> ((you developed a tolerance)) <GM> ((i accepted "steak" as your fav food too...i'm fucking with you, Nova)) <Nova> ((...so what is this all about..)) <GM> ((the orks laughing at your expense)) <Nova> ((I will eat the carrot.... carrots are good for your eyes...))

<GM> * Nova munches down on his veggies. * <GM> * You all eat. You get more sleep and are awakened countless hours later by more rapping on the gates, and are fed again. * <GM> * Time passes in your little corner of the underworld. It's very dark and gets pretty cold. * <GM> * You get to know a few other interesting characters...Sinbad, an ork chromeboy; and Torque, another human physical adept. * <Glitch> ((chromeboy?)) <GM> ((cybered up goon)) <Glitch> ((ah, thought so)) <GM> * Anyway... * <GM> * Sinbad... * <GM> * ... * <GM> * Ok, you meet Sinbad...Who is THIS guy... * <GM> * The orks come in occasioanlly and feed you. Nova, your wounds heal. * <GM> * Glitch, through Nova's training you gain a knowledge of fighting....Nothing really useful, just the basics. * <GM> * Sinbad, you sit around and are surly. *
 * Sinbad is an ork male, about 6'4 inches tall and built like a fighter. He has several scars, most notably a large mark across his left cheek and a long split on his right forearm. He's wearing long worn street clothes and has a cut above his left eye that is healing slowly.

--

<GM> * SINBAD! * <GM> * Since being held here you've learned that there was a civil war of sorts in the Ork Underground....Mikrob is the leader of this rebel faction, who split off and formed their own "New Underground" about 3 years ago. They use all means necessary for food, clothing, etc...Eating the bodies of the dead and that sort of thing. * <GM> * They like to enslave top-siders and put them in the pit to battle. * <GM> ((this is all more than the other pc's know, so do with the knowledge what you will))

--

<GM> * What you all guess is several days later, the guards return in much the same fashion as they did last time. They bring Nova, Glitch, Tony, Sinbad, Morbid, and Rowan from the cell. Along with the other troll, 'Stan'; and another ork named "Mad Dog". * <Sinbad> ((who are you people?)) <GM> * Glitch and Nova, describe yourselves sans armor. * <Sinbad> ((right)) <Glitch> ((except i have no bag at the moment :P )) <GM> * Stan is a troll...Big and angry. Rowan is human and wears a red shirt and has brown hair with silver cybereyes. * <GM> * Morbid is a pale ork standing 6'3" with teeth sharpened to points and a nasty look in his eye. * <Nova> ((eye? only one?)) <GM> * Morbid has two eyes and looks as if he'd like to collect yours to wear around his neck as a trinket, Nova. * <GM> * The orks with their guns return for you all. * <GM> * All eight of you are handcuffed accordingly and brought through the confusing maze of tunnels in a column of two's. * <GM> * Tony gloats that 'Death' hasn't been around at all and finds it funny. * <GM> * Nova, roll intelligence. *
 * Sinbad sits in the corner
 * Sinbad looks at the people.
 * Nova usually just sits there and waits for another meal.
 * Nova also gets some training of his own.
 * Glitch is a rather scrawny-looking human, at a mere 5'6" and 130lbs. He has brown eyes and his brown hair is cut somewhat short and is rather scruffy. He sports a cutting-edge datajack on the left side of his head and glances around nervously every once in a while, holding slightly tighter onto the bag he carries with him.
 * Nova is a 6'4" muscular elf with milk white hair and deepblue snakelike eyes, his skin is perfectly black, he's wearing some kind of pants and combat boots
 * Nova doesn't really like him too.
 * Nova again tries to memorize the way

Got it?" <Glitch> "Huh?" <GM> * You're all brought back to the arena after a while of weaving through the corridors of this massive complex...whatever and wherever it may be. * <GM> * It's back to the arena for the lot of you as the roar of the crowd swells to greet your presence. * <GM> * You're again brought to the center, and Mikrob and his group move to their seats in the alcove. * <GM> * Nova and Glitch, roll intelligence. *

<GM> * Nova: You notice a different woman chained to Mikrob. * <GM> * You zoom in with your eye cameras and realize that it's Anne, looking submissive and hot in a leather bikini with a collar around her neck. * <GM> * Sinbad, the arena is approximately the size of a hockey field with 40 foot barriers on all sides. On top of these barriers is a large fenceline that stops the frequently-tossed debris from littering the arena. It's like a converted stadium or worse. * <GM> * Hundreds of orks and trolls gather around you, screaming and such. You're quite familiar with this place, having lost track of just how long you've been surviving down here... * <GM> * The four little camera drones float down and hover above you all. * <GM> * King Mikrob: #"Welcome back my champions."# * <GM> * #"All of you have been here before...All of you have fought here before...All of you have spilled blood on these grounds."# * <Nova> "Glitch, keep it cool." <GM> * Tony snorts, "Bullshit! I--" He gets buttstroked and shuts up. * <GM> * The crowd roars at Mikrob's words. * <Nova> "Don't worry, you'll get your chance.. I feel something is going to happen.." <GM> * "Shut your face, elf or you'll get yours too!" hollers an orkish guard. * <GM> * King Mikrob: #"TO YOUR CORNERS!!"# * <GM> * With that you are all ushered to the concealed seating area on the right hand side of the arena. Everyone join #thebench. * <GM> * You can all see into the arena, but someone inside would be hard-pressed to see you. * <Nova> ((nice tip, how many guards?)) <GM> * About 12...8 of them with SMG's or rifles. * <GM> * None of you are allowed to sit yet as Mikrob addresses the crowd. * <Glitch> "I hate that fucker." <Nova> "You have an attitude towards those with power.." <Glitch> "What if I do?" <Nova> "Nothing." <Nova> "Coward." <GM> * Mikrob calls upon Tony and Stan to do battle. * <GM> * The two trolls throw down, hard. Slamming each other with blows that make your teeth rattle. * <GM> * Eventually, Tony gets the better of the other troll and stomps on his head until it explodes. * <Glitch> ((ouch)) <Sinbad> ((yeah)) <GM> * He is re-cuffed and brought back to the benching area. Glitch, Tony sits next to you. * <GM> * Mikrob announces the next battle will be a team effort. He summons Nova/Sinbad to do battle with Rowan/Mad Dog. * <Nova> "You want to throw a coin?" <Sinbad> "For?" <Nova> "Which one you do you want." <GM> * Nova and Sinbad, both of you are summoned at gunpoint along with the two others. You are both escorted out into the arena. * <Sinbad> "Kill at best opporunity." <GM> * The crowd cheers as both teams are brought to separate corners. * <Nova> "Have it your way." <GM> * You are placed facing the wall and your cuffs are undone. The orks tell you both that if you move before commanded, you will be shot. * <GM> * Mikrob plays up his role as ruler and master of the fights. * <GM> * #"My champions shall do battle together to the death...Anything goes..."# <GM> * #"...TO THE LAST MAN STANDING!"# * <GM> * #"FIGHT!"# * <GM> ((oops)) <Nova> ((hmm..)) <GM> * You all turn to face one other. * <GM> * You are each in one corner of a rectangle. The ork starts barking and howling. * <GM> * He circles towards Sinbad. * <Sinbad> "Move!" <GM> * "RUFF! You're mine, sweetie," says Mad Dog. * <GM> * Nova, Rowan looks at you as you stroll towards the other fighter. * <GM> * Mad Dog pops out spurs from his forearms and knees. This could be bad. * <Sinbad> ?how far away is this ork? <GM> * Now, about 15 feet. * <Nova> ((and from me?)) <GM> * Nova, 25 from you. * <GM> * Rowan lets you pass. * <GM> * Sinbad, the four-spur'd ork rushes you! * <GM> * INITIATIVE! *

You cut into his left knee in a long slash. * <GM> * He follows with a left hook, but you manage to get inside his guard and slam your spurs forward into his bicep and forearm, shaking with the blow but no worse for wear.

And why should I care?" <Nova> "I don't really think she deserves all that bad. After all, she is my partner." <Glitch> It's all her fault we're down here in the first place." <Nova> "I don't know what about her, but she's around, and I assure you, she gets useful from time to time." <Glitch> "Real useful when it comes to kicking people in the nads, yeah." <Nova> "There are a lot of people who deserve a serious nad-kicking don't you think?" <Glitch> "Roy didn't!" <Nova> "Anyway, I'm telling you this as you are a guy who needs some hope. I'm giving it to you, do with it what you think is right." <Glitch> "Hope of what? To die and see that she got off easy?" <Glitch> "Fraggin' spoiled brat." <Nova> "Well, if she leaves us here, you can start bitching again, but as long as I know she's there, let's trust her at least a bit." <Glitch> "I trust her as far as I can throw her, and believe me, that ain't far." <Nova> "Work on it, do those pushups I told you to do." <Nova> "Okay, quit it, I'll rest my muscles while you train yours." <GM> ((lol)) <Glitch> "I guess you're right...I might as well try and get stronger while we're in this shithole." <Glitch> "Fraggin' drek..." <Nova> "Rest a few minutes and do some more." <Nova> ((Im getting all parently with him...)) <Glitch> "What's the use? I can't even get to 10." <Nova> "You will, with time." <Glitch> "You talk as if we're going to be here for years, and I don't like that at all." <Nova> "In years you would be able to scratch your way out of here." <Nova> "Let's wait and see what happens." <Glitch> "This is ridiculous. "We sure as hell aren't gonna last that long in here." <Nova> "We won't have to, trust me, something WILL happen, and sooner than you think it will." <Glitch> "I hope you're right...I can't take much more of this..." <Nova> "Always something happens and changes the world you live in." <Nova> "Now train, you're weaker than a teenager."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ DEAD MAN'S TALE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <GM> * Sinbad, you awake with a start. Standing above you is an old comely ork woman with long greying hair. * <GM> * She chants a little as she looks down into your eyes, soothingly. * <GM> * The old ork woman looks down at you. "Shhh, follow me." * <Sinbad> "Go to hell, cunt" <Sinbad> ((I'm gonna stab this bitch)) <GM> * Her hands crackle and your chest tightens. "I gave you this life and I can take it back, sweetie." * <GM> * You are moved bodily by giant, unseen hands, and thrust into the wall, pinned there by the same. * <GM> * "Manners now...." * <GM> * "I am Mother Crow, and I ask you now to help me." * <GM> ((damn, sinbad's a surly mother isn't he?)) <GM> ((this bitch is helping him and all he has to do is deliver a message)) <Sinbad> ((I didn't ask for any fucking help)) <Sinbad> "What do you want?" <GM> * Mother Crow: "There is a man on the outside that you need to deliver a message to." * <GM> * "His name is Arden, and he must know that Anne and the package are trapped down here." * <GM> * "I cannot go with you, but I can show you the way out." * <Sinbad> "Fine." <GM> * "And you promise to behave yourself?" She looks sweet and homely, but something else lies behind her eyes. * <Sinbad> "I'll do it." <GM> * She moves her hands down and you're lowered from the wall. * <GM * You're in a large, faceless corridor. She stands there, maybe 5'2". * <Sinbad> ((i still bet I could cut her)) <GM> ((lol...prolly, but she's liable to deep fry you)) <GM> * Faceless cooridor, old ork woman. * <GM> * She holds up a piece of paper. * <GM> * "Down this tunnel is a hatch. Open it and it will take you into a utility shaft. Follow this shaft up 200 meters until you come to another hatch. This will bring you into a sewer tunnel. Follow the path of the rats and it will take you out into the barrens. From there find this man, Arden, and deliver the message." * <GM> * "Is that clear?" * <Sinbad> "Do you have anything besides a name?" <GM> * "There is a number on the paper. Remember, that 'Anne and the package are lost here.' Your life's flame is very strong, baby...Don't let it go out." * <GM> * "Now go...hurry." *
 * Sinbad pops his spurs.
 * Sinbad looks around.
 * Sinbad takes it
