This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

OOC: I'll attempt to make sense of any pattern from where and when the qweevils damaged the pipes. Perhaps there is a general direction and rate of increase. Perception check, I assume. Let me know or roll it for me.

Also I will be researching any additional information about qweevils in order to set our client at ease.

{I still have to get back to the doctor, unload this data, and get ready for tonight's date. Lord, I hope Blinov chose a good nightclub, something that won't scare the bejeezus outta them. One where maybe I can shake them boys off onto some other sweet young things without guilt.

I'm sure he's just lovin' the mess I slipped into, too. Oh crap, and we gotta mind Denny! Goodness knows what he's liable to do during a night out on the town. He'd best not fiddle with the club's speakers or I'll be mortified something terrible.}

"Blinov, where do you sense we should start lookin' on this here Amity's farm?" Turning to Katie with a smile, "Or perhaps you got somethin' in mind that we should see next?"

Katie shakes her head. "No particular area of note, no...it's pretty much all bad," she explains, her smile beginning to fade. "We salvaged what crops we could...but the last two tents are a might crowded, and if the qweevils get to those, we might have to pull up stakes and head elsewhere."

"Oh...but when you're going about the tents...do watch your step, okay?"



The trajectory of the infestation seems to be heading northeast, heading away from the Q-Town side of the farm. The rate doesn't seem to have increased, but the bugs are on a steady march.

"That's odd. I don't think we know much about them migrating like that, so it tends to point towards Q-Town construction causing them to flee." Looks up in compad whether qweevils fleeing construction vibrations or generational migrations have been documented.

"Do they ever return to the same tent? If they don't it might mean they are heading on out of your area. But I am still worried about your house and generator in the way of the Northeast trajectory towards tents 4 and 5." Looks at Katie with mild alarm, "Goodness, what if there was another one?! A migration, I mean. Ooh, I'm giving myself the willies."

Blinov politely borrows a table knife, holds it to his forehead for two seconds, gives it a spin and drops in on the floor to see were it points.

Blinov:
Katie holds her hand to her mouth, curious as to what you are doing. "Is that a seer's trick?" she whispers eagerly, then falls silent again to see the result.

The knife slows to a stop, pointing in the direction of Tent 2. When you glance out, you see a few qweevils--small ones--scurry there from Tent 3.

"Looks like the direct course is clear folks... unless you feel an indirect course would be better?"

"Actually they don't seem to dangerous ... Kind of cute we'll just take a quick peek and see what we see"

When Katie isnt looking...Denny silently mouths and points towards the transmitter in the irrigation pipe... He the heads towards tent 2

"Eeek! They're so big! And look like those compad pictures of spiders, or crabs! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!"

Jolene finally comes to her senses, just barely, to notice she somehow is kneeling atop the table, pointing at where the scurrying qweevils were outside, and clutching her mouth with her other hand.

With great embarrassment she looks at Katie Amity, perhaps seeking commiseration with her eyes, and then back to Blinov and Denny. She starts to slowly get off the table knowing all dignity is shot. "I just wasn't ready for that."

"But I guess we all better go. You stay here Katie, it should be safer inside." Jolene visibly shakes as she is putting on her backpack readying for the tent visit.

OOC: double checking my gear to see if I brought some glowbug lights or collapsible 10' rod, just in case.

EDIT: Yes! I left the telescoping pole in there. Unfortunately no glowbug lights. one out of two isn't so bad.

Katie gives Jolene an understanding look. "Yeah, they...they can be kinda awful when you seem 'em the first time." As the trio exit the house, Katie puts the flat of the table knife to her forehead, her eyes crossing as she tries to replicate Blinov's psychic sensitivity.

All qweevils out and about scurry into the tents when the trio get close. They definitely seem smaller and more timid than you'd been led to believe.

(OOC: Did Jolene happen to keep Spanner's gifts with her? ;))

OOC: There is a chance Jolene left it in her backpack/purse, overly concerned trying to recoup what she could from her gravy. How about I let you 7+ it off 2d6? :) /crosses fingers.

(OOC: I rolled it in the dice room. Oh, you just made it! hehe)

Jolene:
There at the bottom of your pack you find two small green gems, slightly wazy to the touch. There's a slight indentation on each of them, about the size of a pinky fingerprint.

"Yes! I forgot about these. I got light, shorts to run in, and a prodding stick, I'm good to go." Whips out her telescopic rod and looks self-satisfied.

Then the dawning realization of getting closer to those qweevils returns. "Oh, OK... Um, how are we gonna do this?"

Waiting to be out of earshot of Katie.... Denny Says...

" Well, I think we should just get one specimen to take back with us to run those numbers and experiments on...after all if we wan't to do this right, and papa always said if theres a job worth doing its worth doing right we're gonna have to catch the queen and re-locate her. So I figure since your all gud with that science stuff we get us a specimen and see what we learn about thier natomy....Plus, this little farm might have some extra company soon anyway...maybe they'll exterminate them qweeviles fer us...."

"Can we bait it into a cage? Knock it out? What does the internet say about qweevil responses to common chemicals?"

Blinov is thinking of the way Trrarklilian bee-hawks slow down when exposed to smoke. He pulls out his compad and does a search for qweevil vulnerabilities.
