Subject: Kill me now.
There were many moments in Magma’s long life where things had gone from bad to worse. This one, topped them all.
Two arch demons walk into a bordello… pops unwillingly into Magma’s mind and he laughs at the joke. Khazadul-Barmaz! ready at hand, Magma decides that dicing with demons is best left to those with holy powers, holy weapons or just plain magic.
But Tortles … they were all his now!.
Calling upon the power of his war axe, Magma launches himself against the leader of the Tortles. Hoping that by bring down this “Leonardo”, then the rest would lose morale.

GM note –Music by Cowboy Junkies “Now I know”
An old decoy rocket carries the remains of Kenny Fulton to the stars. The rocket was part of the Maria Celestia’s hold and Hawkes had offered the use of the launcher.
“Someone should say something.” Lenny said awkwardly, knowing that it should be him but not having the words to say. He looks to Denny who just shakes his head.
Penny steps forward. Her eyes are lost to the night skies of the dome, made clear for this occasion. She starts to sing softly, beginning quietly then louder as the melody soothes the anguish.
Now I know, now I know what it means to be broken
Now I know, now I know what it means to be bared
The Marakovs were nothing special, standard to any hardware shop on the rim as was the shotgun. As for the magnum with the 8 inch barrel, now that was a collector’s piece. It would fetch a pretty penny to the right buyer and it wasn’t something anyone with sense carries as a weapon - Too big, too bulky and too much kick. The Gatling looked impressive from a distance but upon closer inspection, the grenade launcher was welded onto the barrel and held on with two sided sealing tape. There was a grenade in the tube, and as far as Wyatt could see, there was no way to remove it without arming it in the process.
Ludlow’s armour was alliance military; you could see the emblem corners where he hadn’t scrubbed all of it off. No doubt stolen as it barely fit him and had been rigged together in places to make room for his larger girth.
Nice jacket though – too bad it was now covered in dirt, blood and brain matter. Wyatt knew that this man was no bounty hunter, but he certainly had a thing for weapons.
You in the chair perceptibly sinking
I'm on my knees once again made aware

“I ain’t no criminal Wyatt. I have done many a things that I am not proud of during the war, but if they were hauling us off for that, then they’d be taking us away by the planetful. This smells wrong to me, like I’m being set up for a fall but hell if I know the whats or wherefores.

“Hey there Doc.”
Willow looks down at her patient, “How you feeling Jim?”
The prospector laughs and coughs, “Couldn’t be better. Knew I’d find a way to be alone with you. I even got you to take off my clothes.” He smiles and then nods off again.
Now I know, now I know,
now I know what it means to be broken
“What are you going to do with them Sam?” Kora asked standing close to Sam.
“I think your captain had a good idea. Make them work off the damages, maybe give them a direction or two to help them. They were used and right now, I can’t find the hate in me to make them pay dearly. They already have in many ways.”
Now I know, now I know,
now I know what it means to be bared
Silence hangs between them for the moment. “I guess you’ll be leaving soon, after you all get the ice?” Sam asks tentatively.
Kora looks at him coyly, “Unless you have a better offer to make Mr. Hawkes.”
You in the chair systematically sinking

“Ma! Give that back to me! It’s medical, I swears it!” Dash calls as Trish hides the bottle of rum she took from his hand. The kitten hisses as menacing as he can from Trish’s shoulder, but it comes out more as a sneeze.

With the help of the crew and the Fultons, it doesn’t take long to load up all the containers with ice. The units are all activated and keeping the frozen gases of the comet at absolute zero. Asher and Sam are back to form after some rest and Willow’s tender attentions.
Now I know, now I know,
now I know what it means to be broken
“Captain, it has been a good time with you and the crew, but it is time for me to leave. Rocinante has been my home for awhile now, but well, I think I may have found a new home now.” Kora tries to hold back tears unsuccessfully. “Besides, with these flashbacks of mine, and the freezing up, I’m going to put you and Roc in danger one day. Remember Mack? The guy who helped us on that job, friend of Dash? He’s on Regina and I know he’d jump at the chance to sign on.”
Now I know, now I know,
now I know what it means to be broken
“Listen Wyatt,” Sam said, “Bailey wanted me to warn you that the Alliance has set up a blockage on Regina. It is the mining consortium trying to pressure the independent mine owners to work by their rules. Now they are watching but they can’t be everywhere at once. Figure a good pilot would be able to slip by without them noticing. This came up sudden like, before he could warn you. They are in dire need for this ice, so I’m sure Bailey will make good for you."
OOC: My musical montage – The ship is loaded with ice and you are ready to leave with Kora staying behind. Someone might want to ask about the cat and the bracelet/necklace that it was wearing though. Backposting is always welcome but you can now move forward to getting to Regina and the town of Frisco.

Subject: Quaff them if you got them
The battle was over for now and it was agreed by all that recovery must be quick, as the war was still going on above. Potions were brought out by those who were wounded, and quick bandaging to the few with minor wounds.
Char went to scout the stairwell, hugging the shadows to look up the passageway to see what was going on. Just as he did, something came hurling down the stairs. It wasn’t using the stairs though; it was passing over them in flight as it hit the far wall with a wet spatter.
It is the body of a green Imperial. His body looks like it was crushed under a massive amount of weight or a great pressure. The body slips to the ground at the bottom of the stairs like a boneless piece of meat, tossed by some butcher. On thing is sure though, he was like that before he hit the wall.
“I SAID STAND YOUR GROUND MEN!” rang out the shout from above - a commanding voice with a vague coarse echo to it. Whatever else the commander was ordering is lost as he switches to a lower voice and the sound above of footfalls and furniture moving becomes more pronounced. The ground shakes beneath your feet and dust falls from the beams above you. Something is shaking the tower enough to move the entire building.

Subject: horror
Cathy saw 1408 and enjoyed it.
I saw Harry Potter on the weekend and was generally pleased with teh results. Yes, the director/screenplay writer did a chop job on it, but there was no way around that. As movies go, it worked well and I thought it was smoother than the Goblet of Fire.
It will be interesting to see how the writers deal with the next two books. Without creating a spoiler for anyone - I think that they may be the toughest of all because so much has to be shown.

Everyone is still breathing, no party member has turn evil and wiped out half the party...yet.

Topic: Voyages of the Rocinante - Firefly RPG QnA
Subject: To rush or not to rush
Thoughts here. I can rush through the next section and have you guy settle up the wounded, get the ice, and be on your way to Regina for the greater part of this journey.
Or I can work through it slowly, allowing you to chat with the Fultons, work out the loading of ice, etc etc etc
The benefit of rushing is that I get Tann into the game faster, write out Kora and move on. Those of you wounded will be up and about sooner in real time.
Going slower might mean you can ask important questions, get some answers and so forth. But the wounded will have a few periods of no need to post.
Speak out, up or over

Nice finishing touches Olan.
Now I have a request. Can you develop a tool to search for keywords within a single thread. Some games go into many pages and if I want to find out what a character did a few months ago, it gets annoying scrolling through pages.
Aother function would be a "print" thread function that produces a thread (from start to finish) in an easy to read/easy to print format.

Another option would be to add a field for a short form of a thread title so that the user could control what pops up for their thread.
That way I could have CWWLLO as the short form for Continuing Where We Last Left Off.
