Garnet Town Finale

Post by Corrigon »

It takes you a few moments to drive the distance to the Nexus. In the distance, you can plainly see the rift expanding and something emerging.

The nexus point lies at a rocky plain in the shadow of a short ridge. The bluewhite energies of two ley lines intersect here, the junction almost blindingly bright as a dimensional portal begins to bridge
our world with another reality. Sinister looking flames and sinuous shadows can be glimpsed in between the Rift’s outer edges.
Not far from the opening Rift, Symon the Seer stands in a triumphant pose, his hands glowing with energy linking him to the Rift—clearly he is responsible for this phenomenon.

“As promised Master, the Town will be yours !” He cries out.

At that moment, a demon emerges from the Rift. It is wielding a giant flaming sword and as it emerges from the rift, it unfurls its giant wings.

With Strickland in tow, there is no surprise to be had. This promises to be a hard fight.

OOC Comments
The demon stands between you and Symon and the rift.

From what Savant could see, there are 5 Brodkil and Symon, but when I post, not all of them will be obvious to the party unless you have the ability to breach their invisibility. You lot have been very effective at eliminating the Brodkil

Here we are, the final conflict of the adventure with a giant demon for the fate of Garnet Town.
From the previous combat which you lot didn’t get a scratch, it has been two and half hours for those of you who need to recharge PPE/ISP.

When rolling damage, please indicate whether it is magical or mundane.
As you have chance just as you are arriving, I will allow one round of preparation for spells and the like before combat begins.


Combat info

Brodkill Parry 6 Toughness 15 (6) They are all cybered

Anybody who gets in close to the Brodkil must make a fear check except for Kidemonas as he’s scarier than they are.

Symon
Parry 5 Toughness 9 (3)
-2 to hit for partial cover from the Demon and the energies emanating from the rift. A miss will either likely go into the rift or strike one of the random bursts of energies.

Gar’thul
Parry 12 (no, that's not a typo) Toughness 21 (8)

Notice Wild Die: [dice]1[/dice]
Feeling pumped from the arcane energies he had siphoned off the ley line on the way here Kidemónas' excitment cannot be contained as he comes into sight of the Nexus Kidemónas decides it is time to call on his Arcane power infusing himself and pulling the memories of his ancestors into himself making him a more skilled warrior so he can destroy the demon and its master. As they come into range Kidemónas jumps from the bike so as not to be in Mica's way and releasing his human form takes flight directly into the demon. "Symon, you will pay for the harm you have caused the humans!"

The excitement of the coming battle getting Heracles on edge. As he approaches the Ley Lines effects on his senses are driving him crazy but not enough to keep him from eliminating his uncle's servants.

Heracles Waits until the vehicle is as close as possible before jumping off and running for Symon letting loose with shot after shot of his rifle as he charges him.

Heracles' Energy blast strikes past Gar'thul at Symon, striking him but mostly getting his attention

"No little bug, that will not do." it growls stepping over and swinging its large sword at Heracles, striking him, but thankfully his armour is able to block the glancing blow.

The direct path to Symon is now blocked by a twenty foot tall demon.

If Trick is successful, Demon is at -2 Parry. If Trick is a Raise, he's also Shaken prior to the attack.

Losing It Bonus included in Fighting roll.

Extra Effort Benny [dice]16[/dice]

Damage [dice]9[/dice] + [dice]10[/dice] + [dice]17[/dice] +2, AP 2

So, the Split the Seconds attack Shakes him again. If he spends a benny to unshake from being Tricked (if necessary), then he will be Shaken a second time (and could spend a second benny to instantly unshake). If he chooses to wait, then he gets 1 wound from the StS attack, and can spend a benny to Soak. Cornell post to follow this one sometime on Sunday.
As Penny drives forward, Savant is sitting like a tense wire; she's set aside the rifle for the sword, seeing how fast Penny is coming in, and when they get close enough, she dive-rolls out the door, tucking and going through the demon's legs. As she comes up from the crouch, she begins to spin, vibro-sword moving like greased lightning. The first blow goes wide, but she just keeps spinning, and brings the second shot in on the back of his knee.

Notice: [dice]0[/dice]
WILD dye: [dice]1[/dice]
Langdon exits the vehicle and uses it as cover, the already engaged Darksight power of his armor enabling him to see any invisible Brodkil and snipe them with his JA-11 rifle. No sooner does he raise the scope to his eye than he sees a brodkil and pulls the trigger, scoring a hit to its shoulder.
contingency
Lang will target the nearest invisible brodkil, his main tactic is to keep any from moving into melee with anyone that stays back near the vehicle where he is to leave them free to make ranged attacks. If he doesn't see any invisible Brodkil he will switch the rifle to MD mode and attack the cybered brodkil.

Lt. Cornell leans out the vehicle window to fire the grenade launcher on his Dragonfire, realizing the weapon is his best chance to take out some of the smaller demons before they can open fire, but a poorly timed rock causes his shot to go wide. Even worse, the one Brodkil caught in the blast radius is completely unfazed by the explosion.

"Uh - " Penny hesitates upon seeing the demo, and seeing Heracles take the hit. But she steels herself, concentrating on getting Savant into the fight. She taps her radio, getting Heracles on wireless. "You going to let a demon that small knock down a legendary hero like yourself? You're Heracles! Show him your might!"

Firstly, oops, I missed Langdon off the initiative list. I really do apologise. Was using my standard list for initiative and forgot to subsitute you for Freya and White Hoof.
OOC Comments
Gar'thul
[dice]0[/dice]
Raise and therefore shaken
Despite being very agile for such a large creature, Gar'thul was unable to keep up with the tricky Savant and was left dazed by his acrobatics.

Still, Savant's blade struck his leg multiple times, but was surprised to find that it merely bounced off against his leg.
OOC Comments
Takes half damage from normal weapons, which you have now discovered, but is shaken
Langdon opened fire on the one invisible Brodkil (B2), beam striking true and knocking it over as it disappeared into the leyline.
OOC Comments
beat toughness with a raise, shaken and wound, so killed the minion.


Lieutenant Cornell joined the fray, opening fire with his grenade launcher at the larger group of Brodkil to the left flank, but his shooting was wayward and the grenade explosion merely glanced one of the Brodkil who laughed cruelly at the attempt.

The second Kidemonas is able to leave the bike, Mica transforms the bike instantly into its battloid form and unleashes a salvo of rockets at the demon

Gritting its teeth, Gar'thul is able to roll with the explosion, but you can tell it felt that and was wearing it down.
OOC Comments
benny to soak your stupendous damage roll
AP counts before apply the half damage so 13 toughness so shaken to a wound
vigour roll [dice]1[/dice] but is able to soak it
I feel bad for that as you were actually able to hurt him using mundane weapons - got to love high AP, though with a SBT template around him, could Savant and Heracles make a agility roll at -2 to get out of the way, otherwise 4d6 damage AP11 on both of you. Perils of firing an AOE into melee combat.
However, all of the attacks distracted it as Kidemonas rages in like a wild killing machine just after the explosion, able to make his way past the demon's defenses to score two solid blows against him, one of which visibly draws blood from a gash on its chest.
OOC Comments
With the trick, both the 8 and the 10 are successful
shaken and wound
[dice]2[/dice] soaked
[dice]3[/dice] shaken and one wound after soaking
Strickland seeing everyone crowding around the Demon decides not to open fire on it, but turns his ion cannon turret on the Brodkil, catching two of them in his blast and obliterating them completely.

"I can hurt that thing, but you need to get out of the way."

B3 on the wrong side of the leyline decides that it will run through the leyline. Currently any attack will count as cover as it can barely be seen.

Error: Should be +2, not +4 (since it's not a Trick). Still, that's a 5 on both dice, enough to evade the missile. The shout is just her declaring her intention when her turn comes around.
Seeing the rocket coming from her teammate, Savant rolls with the blast with a delighted whoop, coming to rest just outside the blast radius, with dirt-spray falling all around her. "That's what I'm talking about! My sword isn't so hot against the big guy; I think he's cheating, so drop some bippity-boppity-boo on him, someone! I'm gonna carve me up a warlock, now!"

Heracles runs forward into combat after firing his weapon. The demon strikes him but he is able to shake off the blow. He turns slightly when he hears Penny yell encouragement...and happens to see incoming not-really-friendly-fire. He twists a bit and rolls out of the way from the explosion. He lets out a grunt and casts a dark glare towards the person firing in to melee.

Then he shouts out a prayer to the heavens, asking for Apollo's blessing on his weapon, and it begins to shine as if the sun itself. Then as his sword begins to glow he grins fiercely at the demon, "HAVE AT THEE, FOUL ONE! NO MORE INNOCENTS SHALL BE TOUCHED BY YOUR CORRUPTION! NOT YOURS, NOR SYMON'S!"

He becomes a whirlwind of steel as his chain longsword swings wildly at the demon, sparks flying and sunlight blazing all around him as he hits the demon several times in quick succession.

Okay, Savant actually only got a 3 on that roll--it's a d12+2/-2, so flat roll comes up as 3s. So, spending a benny for extra effort. I'd put it in the post, but for some reason it won't let me edit it in. So here's the Benny Extra Effort roll: [dice]0[/dice]

Langdon took careful aim and another Brodkil collapsed from his accurate and deadly fire. The only one remaining he can see is in the leyline.

Savant and Heracles are able to just about get out of the explosive radius of the missile. Heracles takes advantage of the demon being stunned to unleash psychic fury using the medium of his sword. Whilst it is able to weather two of the blows, one of them is able to slice open a wound in its leg, causing it to stagger down onto one knee.
Gar'thul screams in pain as the blade strikes true.

"Impertinent creatures," it bellows, "Gar'thul will not suffer this impertinence. You will all suffer painful existence in Hell for this affront."

It swings it's giant flaming sword across in front on it at everyone (Savant, Kidemonas and Heracles) striking each of them with fury.

"Woah." Penny had seen a lot of combat, but street level fighting was a whole level down from the current fracas - robots and dragons versus demons and warlocks.

Then she noticed that she was about to drive straight into a ley line, uttered a word no one would care to repeat, and jerked the steering wheel to the side...

64 Damage, 65 with a Raise. AP 4, so it's against his base Toughness of 6. So either 58 or 59 over Toughness = 14 Wounds.

Um... Wow.
There are records on battling giant monsters going all the way back to the epic poem, Beowulf, and the Biblical battle between David and Goliath. In none of those is there any hint that the best way to deal with a huge monster swinging a sword at you is to lean into the swing, using the opportunity to smack its thumb with the flat of your blade, causing the grip to loosen just long enough to be able to ride the force of the blow away from the monster towards its master.

So it is understandable that Gar'thul, ancient as it is, might still be caught off-guard when Savant does exactly that. Even as his sword connects with her ribs with a sickening crunch, she just smiles at him and smacks her sword, flat-side down, then tucks into a roll (her psychotic break being sufficient to dull the pain of the wound, for now) directly towards the unsuspecting Symon; snapping out of the roll, she brings her sword up between the Federation flunky's legs, and just keeps lifting, until she's parted him clean past the horns as she lets loose with an utterly mad howl of triumphant glee.

Gar'thul was surprised as his blow smashed through the three in close combat with it that one of the small annoying creatures would choose to launch itself into its blade and scampered past him, surprising it enough that it didn't even take the opportunity to grind the annoying creature into paste.

As Savant reached Symon, the rift was beginning to widen, but so focused was she on Symon (and unhinged) that it would not be until later that she would realise that she could just about sense a large number of presences just on the other side of the rift.

Savant's blade split Symon in two in a sickening display of blood and guts

The rift shuddered and began to collapse as the controlling influence of Symon ceased. The eye that Savant saw before appeared in the collapsing rift and gazed straight down at her.


"This is not over. We will return. Kill her."


The sole remaining Brodkil stepped through the leyline and opened fire on Savant.

Langdon curses out loud as he watches Savant's blade cleave Symon in twain. While this did result in the rift beginning to close, it also eliminated a potentially valuable source of information regarding Federation motives and plots.
Drat! Why couldn't she have gone whacko against the demon? A blow like that might have even finished Gar'thul. He sighs in frustration. Crazies!

He has no more time for self pity however as yet another brodkil opens fire on Savant. Lang brings his JA-11 back up to his shoulder and draws a bead on the brodkil. He pulls the trigger and scores another solid hit.

Kidemonas recovered from the indignity being stunned and knocked out of the air to make a frenzied assault on Gar'thul. managing to overwhelm the giant demon, tearing out its throat.

Aside from the one Brodkil remaining that is shooting at Savant, your attention is drawn to the giant rift that is slowly closing around a giant red eye.
OOC Comments
there is still one Brodkil remaining. it is currently in the leyline and any attacks receive -2 as it is difficult to see it.

Anybody looking into the rift can see the Giant Eye looking down on them.

Success - The giant eye seems to be intent on not only Savant, but also Mica for some reason.

Raise - it is trying to keep your attention on it as there are shadowy forms appearing at pace behind it. There will be here soon, possibly before the rift collapses.

Arcane Knowledge
Success - the rift is collapsing but not at the rate you would expect it to with the Shifter in control now dead
Raise - Something must be preventing the rift from closing

Savant, close enough to the rift to count the veins in the giant eye if she could actually see that sort of detail, realizes she's about to get overrun by a horde of... probably more Brodkil, if they're lucky, or something nastier if they're not. Still reeling from the Brodkil's attack, she shouts, "Soldier! Put a grenade through the Rift! There's more coming out!"

Cornell, needing no further encouragement than that, points the grenade launcher towards the rift and lets fly. This time, his aim is true, dropping the grenade pretty much right in front of the giant eyeball. Sadly, the grenade itself is less than impressive in its explosive force.

  • 2D6 EFFECT
    2 Catastrophe: Something goes terribly wrong. The GM must decide what, but some ideas are a new and permanent Minor Hindrance, the inability to use powers for several days, or an explosion of some sort. The backlash should be thematic if possible. If the hero tampers with dark forces for his abilities, for example, he might become corrupted or summon something sinister into the world. If he’s a weird scientist the device might explode for 3d6 damage in a Medium Blast Template, or he might develop a Quirk, Phobia, or other “madness.”

    3 Backfire: The power succeeds as with a raise but affects a different target with the worst possible results. A bolt hits a random friend, boost Trait increases an enemy’s skill or attribute, etc. If there’s no likely target, he’s Stunned instead. If the power has a Duration other than Instant, it lasts its full term and can only be negated by dispel (the caster can’t voluntarily end it herself).

    4–5 Short Circuit: The power fails but the Power Points allocated to it are spent, along with an additional 1d6 Power Points.

    6–8 Stunned: The caster is Stunned (see page 106). She subtracts 2 from arcane skill rolls for the rest of the encounter (the penalty remains –2 even if she gets this result again).

    9–10 Overload: The character’s synapses crackle and overload with power. He takes 2d6 damage plus the cost of the power in Power Points, including any Power Modifiers the player declared.

    11 Fatigue: The character suffers Fatigue.

    12 Overcharge: The power draws ambient energy from the air, automatically succeeding against the target with a raise and costing the caster no Power Points!

The combination of missiles and grenades struck the eye and the area around it in the rift. Whatever force was keeping the rift open seems to have been broken as energy from the rift began cascading around the area as bolts of energy striking the ground nearby.

“WE WILL RETURN!!!” The scream of anger echoes across the Nexus as the rift shudders violently and the edges collapse inwards
OOC Comments
Agility check for those in very close proximity to the collapsing rift (Probably only Savant from gutting Symon). You have plenty of warning these are coming, but they are still moving pretty fast.
12 damage
As the air cleared, the nexus and leylines now steadily throbbed, but there was no sign of any rift. Symon’s body is missing, possibly sucked through the rift, but Gar’thul’s body lay on the floor, where it had been ripped apart.

Everything was quiet in the aftermath of the battle to save Garnet Town, even the leylines seemed subdued in their noise as they had been drained of energy.

Nearby, a raven sat watching from a small rock. It looked at the team with its head tilted. “Shield is broken, shield is broken!” it squawked, “they now come, they now come!” before taking flight.

From the town, Freya can see a brief bright large flash of light coming from the nexus, before it recedes as quickly as it appeared.
OOC Comments
You will now need to send a report back to Castle Refuge. What do you wish to include in the report?

Looking down at the demon we just slew Kidemonas ensures it is truly dead, before looking around and seeing everything else going on. When the raven begins to warn Kidemónas starts watching the weird little bird being creepy Kidemónas looks around at the others. "Whet shield is broken? I think this is a bad omen.

Savant had just begun to try to get a grip on the seething madness that had come over her, when the Raven gives its cryptic declaration. She SCREAMS in rage and fury, throwing aside her sword and grabbing the rifle; the bird is not even a black spot in the sky before she stops pulling the trigger (and it had actually stopped firing a little before then, the clip completely drained), then slumps down into a crouch, breathing heavily. "Bastard... escaped."

A hand emerges from the skidded-out rover, followed soon by the rest of Penny as she climbed out to get a look at the situation. She smiled at Savant. "Well, they're gone, and we lived. I think this one goes in the 'win' column."

As she struggled to get the ATV upright, she added, "Also, I'll get the report back to town while the rest of you run cleanup, if that's all right?"

Post by Heracles »

Heracles is wounded and tries to shake off the stunning blow he'd received in the battle. He is able to do so quickly, slapping the side of his tilted head with the palm of one hand twice, as if trying to empty water out of his ears or something. He blinks and his sight clears, his brain untangles. He then looks around and smiles. "We are victorious! Never did I have a doubt!"

A raven nearby spoke aloud and Heracles turns and stares at in wonder and then finally suspicion. "Yon bird...be it a messenger from..." He racks his brain for a moment, "...Odin? He is not of my family, of course, but I have heard tale he uses two ravens." He scratches his chin. "I am not overly fond of them, myself. After all, the feathers of crows and ravens were originally white, but my Uncle Apollo turned them black to punish the birds." He waves a dismissive hand. "I remember not if it was for telling secrets or for failing in their duty as guardians. Either way, they are carrion feeders and untrustworthy." He grins. "Actually, now...hawks! Those are the birds! My Uncle uses them for prophecy and healing!"

It takes about a half-hour for him to be a bit less interested in mythology and more interested in the here and now. It's hard to get him to shut up about his 'family' during that time, actually.

That doesn't sound good.
As the rift collapses, Lang takes a minute to slump against the vehicle and breathe a sigh of relief the fight is over.
Strange bird wrote: “Shield is broken, shield is broken!” it squawked, “they now come, they now come!”
That sounds even worse.
Lang moves to offer what limited help he can to any colleagues that have wounds in need of healing. As he does this, he wracks his brain for any knowledge of the images he'd seen in the rift or of the strange talking bird with its dire warning.
Penny wrote:"Also, I'll get the report back to town while the rest of you run cleanup, if that's all right?"
"If you happen to mention my meager contribution to the resolution of this event, please refer to me as 'Langdon Steed, Professional Gambler'. It has a nice ring to it, I think." He then continues in a lower tone voice only she can hear: "And I'm kinda in between jobs right now, if you know what I mean." He gives her an exaggeratedly conspiratorial wink as he says this.

After talking to Penny, Langdon examines the bodies left behind for clues and loot. He also recharges all of his TW gear with the ambient ley line energy when he moves to get a closer look at the nearby nexus.

Assuming the report states these basics
Garnet Town is now formally allied with The Tomorrow Legion
Both Coalition States and Federation of Magic tried to recruit the town
Federation of Magic representative had kidnapped townspeople to coerce the town into joining the Federation, but also summoned a demon and opened a rift at the nearby nexus
Langdon Steed requests to join the Legion.
What happened to the rest of the reinforcements sent to rendezvous with the original patrol group.
Any of the weird things that happened?

Savant is barely aware that she's being healed at the moment, but she does thank Langdon later that evening (it'll take her 6 hours to Get It Together, during which she mostly just tries to get under cover, away from 'their prying eyes'--this was a bad one).

Of course, once she does recover, she inquires about what loot was found.

Gear found
Flaming Great Sword (Str+d12+4; +3 Fighting, AP 3, Mega Damage), Two handed, requires D12 strength to use two handed
Greater Demon Armor
Enchanted Demon Bracers.
5 vibroswords
5 NG-L5 rifles

Providing successful arcana rolls
Knowledge arcana – the leylines look to flowing normally, but slightly different somehow to how they were before
The bird could be a shapeshifter or a familiar because of the speech.
None of you know what the shield the bird is talking about unless there is something TW you haven't found. There is nothing in the area around the nexus.

If Freya is successful
When Freya saw the leyline up close when they were at the fadetown, the leyline now looks the same as it did then. Now she thinks about it, there was something off about the leyline before, but she can’t put her finger on it.

Freya tells the others her impressions of the ley line.
"I bet there is more about his we have not seen yet. I hope we stay at Garnet town some more time and find out the what the mystery is."
She seems to have grown fond of the town.

As Lang finishes helping the rest of the group carefully inventory the loot, he suddenly remembers something from earlier.
The farmhouse entity.

He addresses the rest of 3rd SET:

"I mentioned when I first met you that I ran into some brodkil before I made it to Garnet. It was near a farmhouse that housed some sort of ... entity, but I was alone and Jasper refused to help investigate. Now that the Tomorrow Legion is officially aligned with Garnet, maybe we, uh, I mean you, should check it out. I don't know what was in there but it didn't give me a very good feeling, if you know what I mean. I can show you where it's at."

==Folk Hero: Play after you save a group of people from dire circumstances. The community adopts you and your party as local heroes, and you can always find aid there.

Assuming the report states these basics
Garnet Town is now formally allied with The Tomorrow Legion
Both Coalition States and Federation of Magic tried to recruit the town
Federation of Magic representative had kidnapped townspeople to coerce the town into joining the Federation, but also summoned a demon and opened a rift at the nearby nexus
Langdon Steed requests to join the Legion.
What happened to the rest of the reinforcements sent to rendezvous with the original patrol group.
Any of the weird things that happened?
Happy to let anybody else post and I'll move us on at the weekend
Assumptions are accurate!
