illinois ♔ and the message coming from my eyes

[spellfile]

WHO || Andrew, Zero, Han, Rocket, Klaus
WHAT || The Knights investigate some strange events  around a farmhouse in Illinois
WHERE || Metropolis Kansas
WHEN || April 20th, 2015
HOW || Actionspam

The route to the Moore residence is a secluded, gavel-topped county road that meanders through fields and farmland.  The roiling stormclouds and lack of city lights make the countryside seem unusually dark and forbidding.  A battered mailbox on the right side of the road indicates the Moore farm, and a pothole-filled drive leads up to the farmhouse.  On the right side of the long driveway, nestled among the snow, lies what appears to be a small family graveyard.

Beside the dilapidated house, stands a large German Shepard tethered on a leash, barking furiously as they pull up.  An older man stands on the porch looking highly displeased.  The man says something to the dog, but the barking continues unabated.

"You can just turn right around and head back the way you came," he yells from the porch.

[If the robot is still up after all of that, Andrew will try to turn the computer back on to take control of the robot and... not start up another killer robot in the process?

maybe?]

Maybe we can try blowin' it up[hahaha SINCE CLEARLY GUNS ARE NOT WORKING VERY WELL AND HE'S SO PISSED ABOUT IT.

Still gonna shoot it tho (atk 26, atk 14; dmg 8, which... probably gets eaten by the DR AS PER USUAL sobs)]

[ bad news han :(

klaus manages to make another tiny dent, but the hull is so hard that it resists most of the damage. better than rocket's doing really.

as andrew boots the computer back up long enough to override the warden robot, o.s.c.a.r. gives one last hurrah, shooting a burning hands spell out of its monitor. han and andrew will both have to make reflex saves DC 15 vs 10 fire dmg... but andrew does successfully power down the robot, whose guns droop, the light going out of its sensors. moments later, with a keystroke, he shuts o.s.c.a.r. down once and for all. /init ]

[WELL THAT'S A RELIEF. Rocket lowers his guns and snarls.]

So now can we blow this place up? [he says not seeming to care THAT TWO OF HIS TEAM MAY BE ON FIRE.]

[badexample]

What? No, we can totally use some of this stuff. [The robot is really cool okay.]

Hasmed's gonna want to get his hands on those scrolls and tomes out there, at least. It's like they were teaching this damn robot to cast spells.

[beatupgrass]

That's just unnatural.

[says the talking the cyborg space raccoon.]

[ i laughed at that tag for a minute straight thank you. ] I wonder what Armitage wanted with all this. Might be worth looking into down the line, but that'll be Wynn's call. I'll be keeping an ear to the ground about him, you can bet on that, at least.

[badexample]

Should we start getting this stuff into the van?

[spellfile]

Might as well. I think we've worn out the surprises around here, but don't quote me on that.

[ he's right tho, no other killer robots will jump out at them so THEY CAN LOAD IT ALL UP AND TAKE IT HOME to make hasmed jizz himself, GO TEAM
