The Spiral Tower: Or Another Action Chatroom

Phoenix glares at those on the mission last night. "You turned away from the Spiral Tower? We mustn't halt in our path! Let us head north!"
 
OOC: Personally, I have no opinion as to what to do next. Role-play wise, my character is still wandering around, with no clue as to what is happening, or even if there are any other people around.

When is the next (or first) mission going to be?

Also, why is Armstrong working for the Tower, and why are the bad guys asking the players to renounce the Tower?

To be fair, you need food to live. You guys have lots of food now.

OOC: It's assumed that you're with the party at all times, just hanging back.

IC: Tomorrow night. ~9:00 PM Eastern.

Alex Louis Armstrong works for the Tower. There's a good reason. Just that you guys haven't found it yet. If you renounce the Tower, it means you're giving up the search for it and therefore not trying to interfere with the Spiral King's forces.
 
Here, I read it. This is basically what happened. Everyone is in a village looking for food. The village tells everyone that there are bandits, and that to get food we would have to defeat the bandits. Iron Man, Son Goku, and Haulsee, go after the bandits while von Badguy stays behind at the village. The rest of the team travel until they reach the entrance to a forest, where the bandits live. They attack first, but seemingly endless hoards of bandits attack, including a time traveler (like us) named the Unbreakable Will, who draws his power from concentration. After some fighting, Goku uses the Kamehameha Wave on Will, knocking him against a tree, and Haulsee takes down the rest, ending up grappling with the final bandit besides Will. Will gets trapped in a Web Grenade, and Haulsee rips out the last bandit's testicles. Will concentrates and rips out of the web, destroying Iron Man's energy cannon in the process. Finally, Goku gets Will into a Full Nelson, and Haulsee shoots him, ending the combat. Only four bandits plus Will were still alive.
Back at the village, Badguy faces Ales Louis Armstrong, a man who works for the Spiral Tower. After some weak banter, Badguy decides to leave and head towards the forest.
Everyone regroups, along with a new arrival, Captain Falcon, at the forest where Haulsee interrogates the remaining bandits. He finds out that there was a group of hooded people on horseback who rode through the area recently. Riding with them was a sort of puppetmaster-man who had control over synapses. Captain Falcon kills the man, and Haulsee takes the rest of them besides Will as captives. Goku goes back and kills Will, much to the dismay of everyone else.
A Man in Black arrives at the forest, asking the travelers to renounce the tower. He says he can manipulate probability and appears to be invincible, as no one can hurt him. He says his name is Flagg. Haulsee appears to be intrigued by Flagg and considers renouncing the Spiral Tower. Flagg snaps his fingers and a woman with a sword comes out of the woods and Armstrong returns and punches Falcon into a tree, breaking his legs. Haulsee shoots at the woman, but she slices the bullet in midair. She also seems to be able to use our powers against us, as Haulsee becomes subdued after trying to subdue her. Goku grabs Captain Falcon and runs away. Badguy uses his cannons on Armstrong, but Armstrong is unaffected and Badguy is thrown out of his chair, which is now broken. Goku and Falcon head towards the next village. Armstrong traps von Badguy in a sphere of rock. Iron Man (who was idle for some time because of chores) appears back, but refuses to save von Badguy, to the frustration of everyone else. Flagg stand on top of the dome of rock that Badguy is in and asks them again to renounce the tower. Haulsee throws his gun away and asks Flagg to "come get him." Flagg must have sensed that the probability was low, for he refused to do it, and the woman went after Haulsee instead. She hacks off his cybernetic hand (albeit leaving the rest of the arm) and goes down screaming, her sword carrying the electricity through her body. The rock sphere crumbles when Armstrong jumps on it. Flagg teleports right in front of Haulsee and grabs what's left of his hand. Haulsee runs to the woman, who is getting up, and jams his arm down her throat, killing her. Flagg is soliloquizing about how he's seen it all. Armstrong disappears. Haulsee tackles Flagg. Flagg dissolves into dust after Haulsee jams his arm into Flagg's testicles. Flagg's skin melts, leaving just a skeleton. His last words? "Renounce the Tower."
Everyone relaxes and tries to repair the broken parts of themselves. Haulsee finds a note that reads, "Jaguar Warriors they're called. They've renounced the Tower. But the Spiral King made them the guard of the Outer Ring. The Jungles. Warriors powered on sacrifice." Everyone eats the food they've earned. The entire party comes together-- Falcon, Goku, Haulsee, Badguy, and Iron Man. The GM reveals that they've just fought the largest village in the world. They start a campfire, get some snow for water, and sleep. THE END
 
There is a lengthy post of what happened.
 
You guys did stuff for three hours. Alright, here's the short version. There was this village, and these bandits that we killed, and this Armstrong guy who lead the village, and we were ambushed by a swordwoman and a Man in Black and we killed them both.
 
Yes, these things tend to be long. And I think we should head up north.

You sure? Von Badguy made plenty of friends in the village. Geography and time gets screwier the farther north you go. But going east and west keeps you in the world you're currently. Going south backtracks.
 
Machine Log- Day 1

For some reason, I am no longer on Earth, but with weird people. There was a guy in an orange gi with a monkey tail (Who is a complete idiot), a cripple with a decked out wheel-chair (Doesn't know what he's messing with- see below), and a guy with a pistol (Only one besides me who knows where its at).

So, there was a village up north, and we were running out of food. Seems simple enough, they had no technology outside of stone, so they would look at my power suit and worship me as the god I am. No such luck, so I just asked for food. Meanwhile, idiot monkey fired one of his laser beams up in the air, shocking everyone. It took forever to tell the villagers that he was a idiot, and it was safe. Guy with pistol started talking to them, asking where the food was and what travelers went through, while cripple made comments. Then he called me a manservant. Holy crap, did he regret that. One punch later, he started to fire everything, with no avail. But his gas, however, did knock off my target systems a little. A good thing our next destination was a day away, so there was no real consequences.

Idiot monkey decided to just charge across the forest where bandits live. Meanwhile, pistol dude tried to stop him. Then bandits showed up... perfect. Meanwhile, according to cripple, he attacked the village during this time. Rhodes is going to kill me when he sees who I travel with. So, idiot man and pistol dude fight off most the bandits, while a split a dude with a power burst over a 100 yards away. That's class.

But more bandits show up, including a giant muscleman. I fly towards the latter and grapple him. The threw me into a tree. Part of my master plan, you see! For everyone ignored me for the rest of the fight, making me free to fire what I want, when I want. I eventually catch him in a web grenade (What am I, Spider Man?), and, in a bout of stupidity, I throw a rock at him, thinking it was a Poké Ball. I swear, that monkey's dumbness knows no bounds.

I got tasked with scavenging the food while the rest went north. Quite boring. Securing the food took an half an hour, and what do you know, while I was gone, the others were fighting a man in black and a crazy woman with a sword. They told me to get down and save Nuke, but I wasn't down to save him. After all, I am a "manservant", not a fighter. After the fight, I came down with the food, and fixed pistol dude's mechanical arm. Nothing like building that suit with scraps. Then I lit the campfire, and we ate. No booze, but everything else was alright. And there we are.

P.S. We also found a racer dude. Not sure how, but okay.

Stark, I believe for the future you should call them by their real names:
Monkey idiot: Goku
Pistol dude: General Haulsee
Cripple: Dr. Bludgetsten
Racer: Captian Falcon


Alright, fine. I really don't don't care.
 
OOC: Actual, anything not marked with OOC: should be in-character. For the lulz, you see.
 
OOC: I should probably mention that if two characters really can't get along, they can choose to duke it out....to the death! Dun dun dun.
 
I might do a late-night mission tonight. Not quite sure yet. Stay tuned.
 
Dr. Bludgetsten's Log, day 1:

If your name isn't Von Badguy, get the [bleep] out of my log!

Time is unraveling, and so is the very concept of space. A "Spiral King" has established a tower in the center of somewhere, which is causing universes to bleed into each other. Brilliant. The Spiral King doesn't seem to understand how this works, though. You make the doomsday device, you tell the forces of justice, you take the money, and you live the rest of your life in luxury. Unless Mr. Steele shows up. Then you leave with anything that's not bolted down and start all over.

I passed through the warping edge of my universe to find a small party of freaks such as that jerk Dr. Poisonstein used to make with his chemicals. There was a man with a monkey tail(who was clearly dropped as a child), a lowly foot soldier with a pistol(watch this guy-reminds me of Mr. Steele, just with far less tactical skill), and bingo, a power armored soldier. I led the way to a nearby village, which for some inexplicable reason did not worship my superior intellect. The idiot with the pistol took control, and I let him. Better he believe I am a cripple in a wheelchair. Again, for some strange reason, they wound up agreeing to deal with the village's bandit problem instead of just crushing them. I found out the limits of the PA soldier-apparently he's extremely susceptible to verbal taunts. To no real surprise, our attacks failed to damage each other, though my Neutrino Blast should have scrambled his computers. They then set off for the bandit camp, leaving me behind.

I then resolved to show the strength they were incapable of comprehending, and set out to conquer the village. I inflicted a number of casualties before a large man threw rocks at me. I determined that I should treat this man as Mr. Steele for the time being and rolled away.

The others did not tell me how they fared with the bandits, but I inferred enough when I got to the site. Someone charged ahead, attracting bunches of attention. For some weird reason, the PA soldier hung back. Huh. a coward in power armor? The guy with a pistol needs to be watched more closely.

Then things got crazy. A weird guy escaped from a comic book convention and executed one of our captives that I was going to use for experimentation, then that large man showed up with a guy in a suit and a woman with a sword. Pistol moron immediately called a full retreat and proclaimed that he should fight to the last stand. Monkey moron immediately listened to him and carried Comic-con reject off into the distance. PA soldier immediately listened to him and flew off. This was immediately followed by the foot soldier trying to get a date with the girl. I, Dr. Bludgetsten Von Badguy, was forced to defeat these laughably weak opponents with the assistance of the man who near destroyed us all.

Afterwards, I got in some healthy experimentation and wheelchair repair, and against my better judgment, optimized and repowered PA soldier's suit somewhat. It was worth experimenting on those prisoners that the soldier dared to order kept alive just to see the look on his face.

Tomorrow, we go down to the village. They have declared their allegiance to the Spiral King, and that won't do.
 
Day One.

Really, before today I was in Reykjavik. I was preparing to ship out with Charlie Fester for Darwin - the interstellar invasion that everyone's been so hyped about - when there was a loud BANG and my office vanished. Thank the God I don't believe in that I always carry my USP and keep enough bullets in my backpack to supply an army.

All those bullets make it difficult to carry food, however, so upon arrival in this strange land of winter that was my first priority. First, though, I met three rather peculiar characters. Mr. Stark - the Iron Man - seems a capable sort. Must remember to point him at any problem too complicated for this Goku freak. Speaking of him, he seems a remarkably strong man, with great fighting skills, but is sadly lacking in mental acuity. Oh well. He can be the meatshield and the battering ram. Then there's Doctor von Badguy. He lives in his wheelchair and apparantly spent his life planning world domination from under a volcano, then on the moon, then Atlantis, then an abandoned daycare center(where he was put in a wheelchair by the staff in a ball pit accident as a child) and finally his mother's basement. Every time, this "Mr. Steele" came and stopped him. Hm. Seems like excellent cannon fodder material.

We started by entering a small village and speaking to them. Goku acted like an ass and fired a laser bolt into the heavens and Stark wanted them to bow down and worship him. Badguy wanted to burn the village down. I felt intense pressure to be the voice of reason in this group. Therefore, I elected to take charge, seeing as I am a General in the Protectorate Army after that mess in America back in 2024. So I got them to reveal the location of the bandits and determined I would go and speak to them. I left Von Badguy behind. Maybe he'd get himself killed.

When we arrived at the forest, Goku walked straight in while Stark had to repair something in his armor. I crept after Goku, wondering what he was doing. When I saw he had arrived at the bandit camp, I waited, preparing to ambush the ambushers. When Goku told them that there was a group coming at them - NOT a genius, that one - they attacked him just like I suspected. I shot several thugs and beat up some others. Goku and Stark dealt with another Traveler named Will (Scarlett O'Hara?) who I confused with my superior mind. After we killed the thugs and took three captive, Badguy and a freak showed up. The freak was named Captain Falcon - I instantly took command over him, seeing as a General has a higher rank than a Captain. We interrogated the three captives, but Falcon killed one of them and Goku killed Will, leaving us with two unconscious heaps. I pushed on while Badguy started experimenting.

I encountered a man dressed all in black, and I maneuvered him into giving up his name - Mr. Flagg. Then as I continued playing him, two accomplices of his showed up. The brute of a man broke Falcon's leg, while the woman sliced one of my bullets from the air. She then offered me a place with them. I attacked her, seeing the parallels to Miss Williams back in DC. However, I realized that the odds of winning the fight were low, and when I found that Badguy's shield could only be cast on a person, I decided that my retreat plan was bogus. Then I told Goku to grab Falcon and run for it, and for Badguy to leave as well - a commander's duty is to fight and die for his men. Badguy refused like the ass he is, and Stark refused to save him, simply hovering and watching. I'll shoot him for that. He could have at least helped.

The woman made an absolutely idiotic mistake - she tried to cut off my right hand. The sword cut cleanly at the wrist, but thanks to my removal of the safety devices from the cybernetic and the fact that I lost my hand at about four inches ABOVE the wrist in 2016, the electricity sent her down. I grabbed her and put the stump to her throat, but she died then for totally no reason, since I hadn't touched her with the stump nor had I shot her even though the pistol was at her head. Weird. The brute withdrew after imprisoning Von Badguy in a rock sphere, and I tackled Mr. Flagg. I hit him hard enough that he dissolved into dust and bones, but I don't think he's dead. Stymied? Hell yeah.

Dead? No. Not at all.

He'll be back.

-General Kevin Haulsee, UPA
 
Day One,

I don't know how I got here. Last lap of the F-Zero Grand Prix, making the final turn. Then, I spun out, looking out to see a lang drop that would surely lead to my death. As I fell, I didn't no what to think, watching ones own death is always horrible. Then as I hit the ground, everything went black. I had lost all my money, my fame, my fortune, because of a simple crash. It infuriated me. The money, snatched by Death's greedy hands. I yelled, and kicked into the air.

Only I didn't hit the air. I hit something hard, and right after I heard a crack. Then something, screams, shouts of no, and the world flushed into my vision. I was standing by a fallen over tree, in the middle of a grassy field. A man with an orange robe? Jumpsuit? A man in an orange thing was standing next to me.

"YOU KILLED HIM!"

So, I got transported to another world, killed a man, and was now now being yelled out by a monkey wearing clothes. After I explained to him what happened, he snapped the neck of someone on the ground, picked two people and led me away. There I met the rest of them. One was an odd fellow in a wheelchair, and the other was a so called "genius general".I soon realized this was hell.

A man dressed in all black stood on a hill, and told us to renounce the tower. What was the tower in the first place? Two people jumped out of some bushes, and attacked me. Of course, I was going to Thunder Kick him for doing that. He caught my leg, snapped it, and threw me into a tree. OUCH! The monkey picked me up, and carried me away before anything more serious could happen. Maybe he is not as bad as I thought. Last I saw of the battle was the cripple in a ball of rock, and the general's bullets cut in half.

When I got back, those two had managed to kill the man in black and the two people who attacked us. Accompanying them was a man in a metal suit, called Metal Man. And I thought my name was weird. We set up camp, made a splint for my leg, and went to sleep.
