Otto's Multiversal Mayhem

[Otto]

Otto continues with a sense of urgency, 'Ok Arthur. Pleased to meet you.' he shakes his hand.

'Now, we don't have much time. Get your chaps together as we need to move quickly out of here.'

Leadership of 14

'Which way did you come from? And are any of you armed?' he asks Arthur, Otto attempts to keep him occupied so that he remains focused and doesn't give in to fear.

[arcanus]

The tone changing in Otto's voice brings Arthurs attention back into focus.

Sceritt is already back in the cross section, warily looking at the Red Plant glowing almost luminescent in the watercourse.

Arthur points to the right "We came from that direction, however we were heading East (he points to the left), which would take us to the River"

They are armed with knives, axes, makeshift spears and one aged shotgun.

Make a perception roll?

[Otto]

Perception of 14

'Do you know how to use this?' Otto in what seems an instant assembles his shotgun from one of his thigh pouches and holds it out to Wells.

[arcanus]

Well's looks astounded, "Why yes, enough to get by and a steady arm!"

"We should move!" hisses Sceritt, the clanking growing more ominous

Several of them have what appear to be revolvers beneath their coats or tucked in waistbands.

[Otto]

Otto suddenly appears to stagger and quickly sits down against the sewer wall.

'A moment.' he says as he feigns nausea and disorientation.

Astrally Project to pinpoint exactly where the clanking is coming from, to identify what they are and how many there are. Don't want to run into them eh?

A quick blip should suffice

Magery of 15.

[arcanus]

The sensation is similar to swimming through treacle, finally stepping from his meat and bones Otto assumes the Chimera form, albeit minus its tail.
Curiously as a he takes a moment to orientate himself he notices that Olivia and Wells are staring at him, neither reacts in horror and both are squinting as if trying to make something out.

Sprinting off he covers the tunnels rapidly, now percieving the Etheric streams as they wind their way from the confined spaces.
He finds the source of the clanking in the form of four of the chicken automatons, each snorts a puff of Black Smoke from its nose as it advances, occasionally they stop and listen.

Swirls of Etheric energy passes between each of the chicken automatons.

They are approaching from the direction the men came from.

(20:46:29) Otto Otto blinks back to his body

(20:47:07) arcanus: Olivia and Wells seem to simultaneously shake their heads

(20:47:19) arcanus: The clanking grows nearer

(20:49:34) Otto: 'We need to go that way.' He points in the opposite direction to where the fowl are approaching. 'Right away.' Otto glances at Wells.

(20:49:51) Otto: 'Can you look after Olivia?' he asks

(20:50:47) Otto needs to see if the Fighting Machine he felled is still there.

(20:51:01) Otto If he felled it at all!

(20:51:07) arcanus: "Es not jokin" hisses Sceritt who looks at Otto somewhat suspiciously "They're almost on us!"

(20:52:06) arcanus: (Are you going back the other way?)#

(20:52:53) (Dean): Not yet, but I just want to put it out there as it were

(20:53:18) arcanus: (Righto)

(20:54:24) Otto: 'Well spotted' Otto snarls biting sarcasm and anger rising. 'So get a fuckin' move on!'

(20:54:29) arcanus: "Of course Old man, but what about you" Wells blurts as he hurries Olivia up to the T-section, Sceritt has already moved off, half of the men already in flight

(20:55:55) Otto: 'I'll follow behind.' he says as he places a fully charged rebreather on his face. 'Don't worry I won't be far from you I assure you!' he adds

(20:56:50) Otto: (How high is the sewer ceiling?)

(20:56:57) arcanus: The party disappear into the Red tunnel and begin to hurry although all show reluctance to touch the water or the plant.

(20:58:26) arcanus: The plant for its part writhes its tendrils ominously

(21:00:08) Otto: (How high is the sewer ceiling? Also I will be looking at a weak point in it if possible?)

(21:01:27) ChatBot: Otto rolls 3d6 and gets 1,5,1.

(21:01:34) Otto: Perception

(21:17:19) arcanus: The hissing noise grows closer, Ottos advanced spectral vision picks up the metallic forms in the darkness at the end of the tunnel.

(21:18:38) arcanus: The brickwork is very old, possibly from the original sewer construction in the time of the Merry Monarch, you calculate that a sufficient application of force will bring down a significant section of the brickwork

(21:20:57) Otto sets his pistol round glyphs to a time delayed hi velocity hi explosive with a shake of the weapon. He adjusts his hearing to compensate for the noise and fires three shots into the brickwork ceiling. The shots are placed in a triangular pattern.

(21:21:21) ChatBot: Otto rolls 3d6 and gets 1,4,6.

(21:21:27) Otto: Pistol

(21:24:12) Otto: (According to my HUD map. Wherabouts is the location of the downed machine from where I am?)

(21:26:14) Otto: (My plan is to locate the machine, and patch into its electronics (or the equivalents) and hopefully process the etheric virus (that Sting is producing) though the machines system!)

(21:26:33) Otto: (Had to let the cat out of the bag!)

(21:27:00) Otto: (Thats if the the communication systems are working)

(21:27:00) Otto: (Could be really nasty for our Imperial Invaders.)

(21:34:14) arcanus: The downed machine is to your North East

(21:34:25) arcanus: (Roll damage?)

(21:35:10) ChatBot: Otto rolls 5d6 and gets 2,6,6,2,2.
(21:35:18) ChatBot: Otto rolls 5d6 and gets 3,3,6,1,4.
(21:35:23) ChatBot: Otto rolls 5d6 and gets 1,5,1,6,6.

(21:35:52) arcanus: Make a Dodge roll?

(21:36:08) (Dean): Is the plan sound?

(21:36:37) arcanus: (Sounds very sound, interesting play on them being infected with a virus)

(21:37:02) arcanus: Cup of tea

(21:37:32) Otto: Hardly original though!

(21:37:42) ChatBot: Otto rolls 3d6 and gets 2,4,1.

(21:37:48) Otto: Dodge

(21:42:33) Otto: shouts 'Put your fingers in your ears and open your mouths!' he shouts over his shoulder at the retreating group as he in turn begins to retreat before the explosion.

(21:42:42) Otto: Swift Strider

(21:42:48) ChatBot: Otto rolls 3d6 and gets 3,2,5.

(21:43:14) Otto assumes the RLF manuevre

(21:48:22) arcanus: Dex roll?

(21:51:44) ChatBot: Otto rolls 3d6 and gets 5,2,2.
(21:51:51) Otto: Dexterity

[arcanus]

The bullets thump into the ceiling, momentarily nothing seems to happen and the mechanical chickens break into a rocking sprint.

Olivia screams having glanced back, whilst being hurried through the Eastward tunnel by Wells.

[Otto]

‘Keep going! And find safety!’ his bellow echoes metallically in the sewer confines.

‘They are completely autonomous!’ Otto thinks with a growing dread as he scrabbles back towards safety.

Seemingly unable to take his eyes off them, he slips and falls to his knees into the slimy unearthly weed, and with a reflex action and desperation born of the impending danger fires at the lead cyborg.

Remove the timed explosive on the ammo glyphs and apply, explosive : armour piercing : contact detonation : shaped charge : flame.

The shaped charge will be designated to blast outwards on either impact or preferably once the cyborg’s armour plating is pierced in a V shape.
