Missing! Blood on the Water

Post by Freemage »

Sheriff Montrose meets you at the docks with a good-sized handcart. In it are the three (collapsed) rafts, three rope ladders, and three sets of diving gear: a fifteen-minute air tank, a human-sized mask and belt, an underwater spotlight, and even fins (again, human sized).

"If someone falls in, figure these are better than nothing for getting to 'em. The tanks have a universal hook-up that can be added to most FEP suits, instead of the usual mask, so if you're rescuing someone in sealed armor, you can plug a tank in to give 'em extra time. While you guys are gone, I'm gonna rouse the fishermen, see if I can get a flotilla put together. Might take til dawn, but if you're right that the abductees are out there, we'll need to bring 'em back somehow. There's one more thing--I get the impression you got the abbreviated version of that hulk's history. Fact is, it's been around for over a decade, just floating out there. I was just a little girl when it happened. Most of the fishermen avoid being right on the Ley Lines, especially at night, but old Captain Carter found that some of the fish would school near the Nexus. He could haul in a full hold in a single night, just by dropping his nets and bringing them up again. Furthermore, Carter--he was a Psi-stalker, you see--said the fish that schooled there had been imbued with just enough energy that they could sustain him without having to, ah, hunt, if you get my meaning."

As she talks, she helps get the rafts set up--put one on the dock, pop the seal on the attached canister, let it inflate to full size, assemble the four paddles, drop all the other gear in, set the raft in the water, help that crew step in, and repeat. The rafts bob low for a moment when their respective 'plus-sized' occupants get in, but none of them look in danger of dipping below the surface to let water in, especially on the calm waters of the lake.

"Well, one night, one of Carter's crew came swimming ashore, bleeding and bruised. He said the crew went nuts, the Captain worst of all, and they started killing each other. Ramone, the crewman, escaped only by jumping overboard. He was only twenty-five, but his hair had gone shock-white. By the time the sheriff (two before me) got out there with a posse, everyone was dead--except Carter, who was nowhere to be found. They got the bodies off and came back to shore. A few weeks later, a salvage crew went out there, stripped out most of the machinery that hadn't been destroyed in the brawl. They made a fair penny, but the rumor has it that within a month, every one of the salvagers was dead or crazy. Since then, no one goes near that hulk, or the Nexus."

She looks out across the dark waters to the boat, small at this distance. "I guess what I'm saying is, once you've rescued everyone from there and dealt with whoever's behind this, I'd take it as a personal favor if you could blast that boat to Hell where it belongs." Almost as an afterthought, she asks for SnackHappy's personal communicator, and transfers a file to it. "Basic layout of the boat's interior, from the salvager's report to my twice-predecessor. Not much, but at least you know the lay of the land. There's a hatch down to the big hold in the forecastle, and then stairs at the stern that go down to the lower storage areas. Good luck."
The Map
BloodOnWaterPCMap.jpg
And so you begin the dark trek to the cursed ship, rowing gently to not cause too much noise. It's not graceful--most of you have little comprehension of how a boat actually moves--but eventually you manage to figure it out, and the strong trio you have doing the rowing cause the rafts to practically glide across the dark waters. Henry takes point, flying just a bit ahead of the rafts, while Echo brings up the rear as a polar bear, ready to rescue anyone who falls in. Slowly, the hulking form of the dead ship looms larger in front of you.
Player Instructions
Fox should go ahead and make his Knowledge: Battle roll for Tactician for the upcoming fight.
Snackhappy needs to make a Stealth roll for the group when he climbs up the rope ladders: d4 -2 for Unskilled and -2 for Size. TN 4; you guys avoided any of the pitfalls that would've put guards on alert ahead of time. (BTW, because folks always ask: Boost Trait COULD help here, but it would have to be cast on both Fox and SnackHappy to make a difference. If you go that route, then whichever of them gets the worst result would roll, still at -2 for Size. But it would get rid of the Unskilled penalty, and could even get them both up to d6s with a Raise on regular Boost Trait, or a d10-2 if you hit both of them with Exalted AND got Raises for each.)
Growler needs to make rolls to Psionically teleport, and then a Stealth roll of his own, as he's doing so before the rest of the group gets on board.
Everyone should also make Notice rolls as you get onboard.
  • Success: You hear muffled voices from inside the ship's hold. Some sound very much like weeping or cries of pain.
  • Raise: One voice, slightly louder, says more clearly, "Hurry up and get ready. We only need a half-dozen more, and then we can begin. I don't want to miss another new moon."
Henry can make three rolls to tap the Ley Line for extra PPE for the coming fight. Just add those to your total.
Finally, anyone with K: Arcana should make a roll now. It won't have any effect immediately, but when certain facts come to light, there will be some additional intel, if you don't immediately figure it out as players.

Calyx looked over the gear that the sheriff had brought along, but mostly then focused on the rafts. He liked the water, but using some of his abilities while in the water could be very dangerous. So he focused on the details of one of the rafts, trying to take his mind off things until they were underway. He didn't realize it, but as they were gliding over the water towards the boat, he hummed very quietly to himself, a calming song - and at one point he very softly uttered, "...an' really bad eggs..."

As they got up to the boat, he looked at the rope ladders and then at his large 'boss'. After only a moment's hesitation, he slapped Snack Happy's shoulder and gave him a tilted look, speaking quietly in a strange 'accent'. "Be vewy vewy qwiet. Weh huntin' wabbits!" He put a finger to his lips in a shushing gesture even as psionically sent energy in to the grackletooth to try and enhance his ability to be stealthy. Electricity sparked in to the grackletooth and he felt a jolt of energy.

Then he began to climb.

Henry shifts into his raven form. As the group departs, he flies several yards in front, occasionally gliding toward the ley line to suck up some of it's energy. When they get to the boat he lands on it, shifting back into human form. He waits patiently for someone to toss a rope ladder up, and then securely affixes it to the boat. When Fox makes his way on deck, Henry frowns. He leans over and whispers in Fox's ear "Too Loud! Here, let me help" He looks at Fox and whispers in a strange language. Suddenly, Fox is hyper aware of how loud he actually is, and knows exactly how to compensate for this. Henry nods, pulling the hood up on his Shadow Cloak, activating it. He puts up his hand as he hears voices and whispers "I hear someone, they might be coming."

  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)

  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)

Chok'lat remains quiet as the rafts skim across the water, not even grunting with the effort of rowing. He's done enough violence under cover of stealth to know when to shut his mouth. Even as the group begins boarding the boat, you would struggle to hear him breathe. The unfortunate zapping of SnackHappy and his vociferous response makes Chok'lat cringe inside. Cray-Cray woulda' cut his tail off for that. Wonder if he grows it back like brodkil do?
Being assured that whatever it is here that has the people bound in the hold has heard the un-brodkil-like ruckus, he prepares for violence, pulling his vibrosword, Shield of Faith, and shiny new shotgun from their various holsters, sheaths, and slung positions. He whispers. "Looks like we gonna fight 'cause only Chok'lat is quiet."

Re: Missing! Blood on the Water

Post by PFC Fox Simmons »

Fox nods to the Sheriff and takes his odd position in the raft and in his power armor. SAMAS power proves ideal and allows the raft to glide across the water after Fox figures out how to row and steer.

As they get close to the derelict ship, Fox goes for glide only and no rowing. Tieing the three rafts together he then has Growler and Henry take a rope ladder a piece and when aboard secure them for Snack, Herra, Chok'lat, Calyx, and Echo (if she needs it). Once in position and everyone is aboard, Fox makes the awkward climb in the SAMAS unless someone gives him the signal to use SAMAS's flight capabilities.

During the trip over Fox actually stops rowing and takes the uploaded file of the ship and sets his scanners and HUD to begin running diagnostics on approach.

Echo, Henry and Growler each get topside in their own fashion, first; then Herra and Calyx scale up the rope-ladders. Finally, the big three prepare to go up, while Henry and Calyx each enhance the stealthiness of Fox and SnackHappy, respectively.

Sadly, Jacob was not expecting the sudden jolt, and responds, loudly, at a moment when he's outside Echo's sound-dampening field. The doors to both the fore- and aft-castle burst open, spilling forth a total of half a dozen animated skeletons (4 from the front, 2 from the rear). They are armed with laser pistols and vibro-knives, and wearing Maverick armor likely looted from bandits, and as they emerge, they begin to take up position to repel the boarders.

Meanwhile, a great cacophony starts from below-decks. In addition to the voice some of you heard earlier shouting orders, and running boots, you also hear shouts--people crying out for help. "Save us! We're down here! Hurry! Off these psychos!"
OOC Comments
You're on a Ley Line. Henry can tap the Line as an action on any round where he doesn't do anything else, and Major Psionics uses the enhanced version.

Snack, Fox and Chok'lat are still on the ladders; climbing up manually will take three inches of movement. Alternately, Fox can fly straight up and only burn 1" of movement to clear the deck level.

Growler, having had time to set up, will have the Drop on round 1, since the skeletons are unaware he's in overwatch position. On the map, Growler's on top of the aft-castle, hence outlined in red.

You know the forecastle has a ladder going down belowdecks from the Sheriff's description. There's also a large cargo hatch in the middle of the deck, currently locked. Breaking the chain and opening the cargo hatch are two separate actions, one a Breaking Things attempt (Chain Toughness: 10, requires a slashing weapon, followed by either a straight lifting attempt (Strength check at -2) or another Breaking Things attempt (Hatch Toughness 12 MDC); alternately, someone could theoretically blast the hatch open, but anyone down below could be hit by shrapnel.

Chok'lat grins wickedly as enemies present themselves. Herra, however, is caught on the front line. Stealth abandoned, he shouts. "Look out! Chok'lat will save you!" True to his word, he springs off the ladder onto the deck, weaponry flying. He maneuvers himself between the skeletons and the mind melter. It's unfair, but Chok'lat isn't the type to fight fair. He lets off with a burst from his GAW shotgun at near point-blank range, pulverizing the chest cavities of 3 skeletons to dust.
A chunk of re-dead bone lands at his feet. He proceeds to kick the bone shard into the face of the last remaining skeleton at the forecastle, giving it something else to think about right before the frightening might of the brodkil is brought to bear. Chok'lat's vibrosword crushes the spine as it cuts through the skeleton's defenses. "HA! Chok'lat beat these four. Send me more! Chok'lat didn't even break a sweat yet!" He turns to Herra. "You okay?"

Cresting the ladder Herra watches as the demon leaps over the rail and cuts down four skeletons. Then, like a proud domesticated animal, looks to Herra for affection. Affection she does not give. Summoning her psi-blade she looks at Chok'lat as if she is contemplating using it on him. "My hero," is all she can manage to say with a flat tone only hinting at disdain rather than dripping it like normal.

Leaving the last two skeletons to the others she slice the chain on the cargo hatch with her psi-blade, cutting through the metal with ease. As the chain clinks to the deck she defers to someone with the strength to life the hatch, "Snack, could you please lift this up? Someone else pull up one of the ladders so we can lower it down to the hold."

As the Jokers get ready to let Fox take charge of opening the hatch, he is interrupted by two new figures emerging from the forecastle, apparently having come up the ladder, VERY swiftly. As they step out into the light of the Ley Line, you can clearly see their Juice Rigs. One spots Chok'lat and immediately rushes him, while a second sees Henry next to the hatch, and starts to work his way around the side of the hatch to get to him.
Agility 18 (Henry), 6 (Chok'lat)
The new arrivals are moving towards Chok'lat and Henry. Yes, they're Juicers, and yes, they're Wild Cards.

Since Calyx, Henry and Echo are all On Hold, all three can roll Agility to try to Interrupt the actions if you wish.

Agility to Interrupt
Agility die [dice]0[/dice], Wild die [dice]1[/dice].
Calyx gave a nod of approval as the skeletons were dropped in very short order - he didn't even have time to kick on his electrical aura. He heard the voices pleading for help and glanced at Snack Happy or Fox to open the hatch. He wanted to get down there but his only option would be to try his electromagentism on it to open it. Then two blurs came out running at Henry and Chok'lat. The Brodkil could take care of himself so Calyx wasn't worried, but Henry...Calyx didn't know Henry that well and wasn't sure.

  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)

Two Raises, but first hit turned into a CritFail with NotToday Card played by Henry. CritFail causes both to miss, and Pride's Chainsword now has Technical Difficulties: [dice]6[/dice]: -2 to attack rolls and damage.

The Juicer rushing Henry, labeled with the alchemical symbol for "Pride", is moving too quickly to be dissuaded by intervention. But the one closing in on Chok'lat ("Envy") has three separate Jokers interceding before she can reach her target. As Pride slashes at Henry, his swing is cut short by a piece of broken metal sticking up from the railing--good thing, too, as that shot was looking to be an eviscerating blow. Pride howls in rage and wrenches the chainsword free; it's not broken, but it is clearly not running as smoothly as before.

Re: Missing! Blood on the Water

Post by Echo »

Echo sees the Juicer’s coming up, and instantly starts moving to intercept. But the Juicer is so fast she is unable to get to him before he attacks Henry.
Seeing she is simply too slow to stop the juicer from eviscerating Henry Echo charges going all out to stop the other juicer from getting to Chok'lat. Sometimes you have to put your own safety on the line and this is one of those times. Reaching out she ensnares the juicer is a static field causing his clothes to seize up on her binding her, even to the point of causing random muscle spasms and forcing her body to twitch in random ways, then with a roar filling the air she closes in get and swings at Envy her claws trying to slash the villian open and pin her to the ground so Chok’lat can save Henry.

As Echo moves in on Envy to intercept, the Juicer brings her own chainsword up, blindingly fast. It comes up from underneath, the blade biting deep into the shapeshifted bear's flesh. It hurts, BADLY.

As the blow slides up Echo’s middle bisecting her, she tries desperately to close the wound behind the weapon, but the damage is so much and so fast her struggles only lead to failure.

Equipment of Note:
Triax T-13 Field Mechanic(Modified):+9 Armor and +2 Toughness, Full Environmental; Comms (10 miles), Loudspeakers, laser distancer, night vision mode,Laser Torch (Range 4/8/16, Damage 3d6, RoF 1, AP 3, Mega Damage), Laser Finger (Str+d4 in melee reach 1 Strength d6 arm, +2 Repair checks)
Wilk’s 227 Pulse Laser Pistol (Range 18/36/72, Damage 2d6+1, RoF 1, AP 4, 24 Shots, Semi-Auto)

NG-V61 Gunwolf(Sasha): Size 6, Crew 2 modded for tail copilot, Strength d12+6, Toughness 35 (17), Pace 10
Notes: M.D.C. Armor
Weapon Systems:
  • 2 × Dual-linked Medium RailGuns (right forearm)|(Range 100/200/400, +1 to hit, Damage 3d10+6, RoF 3, AP 14, 60 Shots, Mega Damage)
  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • Medium Missile Launcher (chest) |(Range 200/400/800, Damage 8d6, RoF 1, AP 15, 4 Shots, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • 2 × Dual-Linked Light Laser (eyes) | (Range 150/300/600, +1 to hit, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, AP 5, Mega Damage)
  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)
  • Modified per loot to add +2 AP off of hero's journey

There's a satisfying 'crunch' as the hammer hits Envy's skull and the Big Bore round goes off--she's not dead, yet, but she's definitely staggered.

Meanwhile, Pride is engulfed in the flames, his fancy Juicer Plate Armor lacking the environmental protection needed to keep plasma from leaking behind it--and apparently, the clothing he's wearing underneath is highly flammable, as he's turned into a living (and screaming) pillar of flames!

For once, Calyx didn't kick on his electrical aura. He didn't fire a lightning bolt either. Instead, he pulled up the formerly-Coalition rifle and let loose a barrage of laser fire towards the two Juicers, focusing more on the one that was barely hurt. The smile on his face slowly faltered and then died, turning in to angry confusion, as at first it didn't look like his blasts seemed to do much. But then both seemed to show more signs of injury and he thought maybe he'd been able to do a bit more. "Meh. I like lightning better, but this isn't terrible."

Calyx's shots aren't as powerful as his lightning bolt, it's true, but Pride, at least, was already on his last rope--the shot is enough to pitch him over the railing, a hiss of steam rising from his burning clothes as he submerges. Likewise, Envy, already spun round twice by Jacob's Hammer, gives a cry of pain as the shot lances her shoulder.
OOC Comments
15(6) Toughness becomes 13 (4) after the AP. Both of the targets were Shaken, and since they were already Shaken, that means you did another Wound to each. Pride's dead, Envy's at two wounds. Fox is up.

Jakob's clamouring up the side of the boat created enough noise that Fox was certain he could engage his hovers and reach the top deck. It was a shame that the moon was on the opposite side of the sky because the SAMAS silouhette was almost as terrifying as seeing them upclose.

Fox's position has him hovering above the deck about twenty feet. Perfect positioning to aid in almost any situation. The juicers look to be the most pressing matter at the moment. Envy had already knocked down Echo and his HUD was showing weak signs for her.

Swinging the huge railgun effortlessly into position, Fox flicked on the comms,

"Jokers all clear."

Fox sights in using the HUD and levels the railgun for a solid burst on the juicer identified as Envy.

Not waiting to see the effects he leaps off the ledge bringing the hammer down on her falling carcass. As he lands with a thunderous bang announcing his presence he sweeps with his tail clearing the nearby skeletons with ease. Screaming out "Who wants some?!"

  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • Medium Missile Launcher (chest) |(Range 200/400/800, Damage 8d6, RoF 1, AP 15, 4 Shots, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • 2 × Dual-Linked Light Laser (eyes) | (Range 150/300/600, +1 to hit, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, AP 5, Mega Damage)
  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)
  • Modified per loot to add +2 AP off of hero's journey

Chok'lat takes one glance at Fox, who gives him a simple nod. He then rushes over to the ladder, where he greets Wrath. "Hey! Chok'lat got something for you!" With that, the brodkil jams his sword down onto the hapless juicer, severing many vital blood vessels and neural pathways in the head and neck area. Wrath would be REALLY angry to see what happened to him. Alas, his last sight was a grinning demon.
Lust received much the same treatment, though she somehow managed to survive several blasts from Chok'lat's laser rifle. "Why don't you die?! Chok'lat's gonna stomp you into bloodmud!" The demon growls, clearly enraged that this boygirl didn't cooperate and die.

Skellingtons: On Hold

SnackHappy (Q, ILH): RJ, JH, 7D (RED JOKER--Deck refreshes, all PCs get a Bennie!)
Chok'lat: KS

Fox: 10H

Xavier: 8S

Calyx (Q): 7H
Growler (Q): 7C
Henry: 2S
As Pride sinks into the watery grave, and Envy collapses to the ground, SnackHappy and Chok'lat both realize that more are coming up the ladder, and Echo is still down! Springing into action, Chok'lat rushes forward and strikes down "Wrath" as he comes up out of the hole, and then lights up "Lust", staggering... her? He's not quite sure on that point. Not that SnackHappy cares about it, either. He runs up next to Chok'lat, shooting his plasma ejector and roasting him... her... very well done. Realizing that there is more work to be done, he then leaps down into the dark hole, lashing out with the Tail Cestus, clobbering the swarm of skeletons standing at the base.

But there's no time to celebrate, as he quickly discovers he's stepped into something akin to hell on Earth.

It is pitch-black, other than the light from his own armor. But he has sensors and illumination to see more than perhaps he'd really want to. Along the walls are captives--the missing people, it would appear. They are dressed in rags or naked, hands shackled to the walls over their heads. Virtually all show signs of extensive physical abuse--bruises, seeping wounds, some discolored badly, indicating gangrene or other infections. A few manage to cheer as he lands on the fallen Lust, crushing the androgyne Juicer. More shout and plead warnings (one, a dwarf, bellows, "Look out! The leader just disappeared!"), or beg for help. Others... perhaps the majority, at this point--just seem to watch, hollow-eyed and expressionless.

But even before he can process all of that, Jacob finds himself beset by a trio of attackers. Two more symbol-adorned Juicers move in on him--the first a woman nearly as rotund as the Grackletooth; the second bearing a better quality of JA laser rifle than the rest of the group, and his Juicer Plate looking modified as well, actually integrated with his IMRSS. In addition, a creature of nightmares comes up--a Juicer, yes, but no longer among the living. The hollow eyes seem to blaze with an eternal hatred of the living. This figure's armor bears the seven symbols on the others' suits, in a circular arrangement, with a final symbol in the center.

Behind them, he can see yet another Juicer near the center of the hold; this one is languidly pointing his rifle towards the hatch above. Completing the horror-show, another assembly of Skeletons comes marching from the aft of the ship, laser pistols firing pulses of light at him, heedless of the risk to the Juicers standing next to him.

Avarice and Gluttony both manage to land solid, painful blows, but the mighty Grackletooth remains standing, weathering them, though not without cost. Then the Murder Wraith steps up and swings, but fails to connect. And while the lasers of the skeletons find their mark, they bounce harmlessly off Jacob's armor--at the end of the massive onslaught, Jacob is badly injured, but still upright.
OOC Comments
Okay, Jacob is Fearless because of the Tail Cestus, which means he does NOT roll a Fear check for the Murder Wraith, Synn. Anyone else who comes down here who is not also Fearless must do so, however; likewise, if the hatch is opened, everyone on deck should roll at that point.

The two Juicers are attacking at the same time to gain Gang-Up bonuses, but the Murder Wraith is holding back. +1 for both Avarice and Gluttony from Gang-Up. Each of them will spend a Burn on the damage for their first attack that hits with a Raise. (no raise, no burn on damage).

So, first the Juicers attack (SnackHappy Parry 8, Toughness 20 (9)):

Avarice Standard Imp. Frenzy Attack, +1 from Gang-up with Gluttony:
Avarice Fighting [dice]0[/dice]
Avarice Imp. Frenzy [dice]1[/dice] Ace Running Total [dice]3[/dice]
Avarice Wild Fighting [dice]2[/dice]
1 Hit with Raise: Burn die added to damage: [dice]4[/dice] + [dice]5[/dice] + [dice]6[/dice]
Ace running total [dice]7[/dice] AP 2 = 18 pts = 4 Wounds

Gluttony Imp. Frenzy Attack (+2 Hit, +2 Damage, -2 Parry this round):
Gluttony Fighting [dice]8[/dice]
Gluttony Imp. Frenzy [dice]9[/dice] Ace [dice]11[/dice]
Gluttony Wild Fighting [dice]10[/dice]
Hit Damage: [dice]12[/dice] + [dice]13[/dice] + 2 = 21 AP 2: Shaken
Raise Damage (Spend Burn): [dice]14[/dice] + [dice]15[/dice] +[dice]16[/dice] = 26 AP 2 = 2 Wounds

Next up: Synn (Murder Wraith):
Synn Fighting [dice]17[/dice]
Synn Imp. Frenzy [dice]18[/dice]
Wild Fighting [dice]20[/dice]
Swing, Swing and Double-Miss!

Finally, the Skeleton Firing Squad. They're firing 3RB, so +2 to hit/damage, but then are at -1 due to cover, and also subject to Innocent Bystanders (on a 1, they hit one of Snack's three attackers):
Skeleton Shooting [dice]19[/dice] Miss
Skeleton Shooting [dice]21[/dice] Hit Damage [dice]24[/dice] AP 2
Skeleton Shooting [dice]22[/dice] Hit Damage [dice]25[/dice] AP 2
Skeleton Shooting [dice]23[/dice] Hit Damage [dice]26[/dice] AP 2

No effect!

Important Stats:
Gluttony, Avarice & Sloth: Parry: 7; Toughness: 15 (6), -2 Uncanny Reflexes
Synn: Parry: 8; Toughness: 19 (6), -2 Uncanny Reflexes
Xavier: Who? Where? I see no Xavier....

Re: Missing! Blood on the Water

Post by PFC Fox Simmons »

Fox's HUD lights up as Jakob engages one, then two, and three juicers in the hold. As Jakob takes hits, Fox's HUD registers the incoming fires and Fox realizes that Snack has his back against the proverbial wall.

Sound system filters on the team radio freq allow Fox to filter out the screams, moans, shouts, and the warning that someone of importance is missing.

"Calyx. Herra. Henry. Stay topside. Keep your other eyes open for a missing individual of your persuassion."

"Growler. I trust you to make use of your natural talents."

"Chok'lat. Brace yourself we are going down a floor."

    MAP: -2 Agility
  • Piloting [dice]0[/dice]
  • Wild [dice]1[/dice]
Fox levels down in flight and flies low and slow to Chok'lat. Grabbing Chok'lat under SAMAS's left arm, Fox levels flight and turns towards the hold.
Ripping the Hold, Strength 18
  • Power Armor Jock: Negate -2 to Agility and all skill rolls while wearing PA.
    MAP: -2 Strength
  • Strength [dice]2[/dice]

  • Aced Wild [dice]6[/dice]
  • Super Aced Wild [dice]7[/dice]
The hatch on the hold must be weakened because with SAMAS's right hand Fox grabs the lip and wads it up like a large tin foil ball. Holding it in one arm, Fox/SAMAS tosses it over the edge of the derelict after Pride. Noting to himself that Pride went before the Fall, Fox sees a sizeable splash and hears the crumpled hatch sink.

Focusing on the hold, Fox descends with Chok'lat and sees the skellingtons, the survivors, and finally registers the Murder Wraith.
Flight Down, Piloting 11
  • Power Armor Jock: Negate -2 to Agility and all skill rolls while wearing PA.
    Ace: +2 to Piloting PAs, May spend Bennies to Soak.

When SAMAS touches down on the deck below, Fox leans over and whispers to Chok'lat, "Go easy on them."

When Chok'lat looks at Fox with a quizzical look, Fox raises the blast shield on his helmet, and smiles a very big grin. The deck echoes with the high pitched screams that drown out almost everything else as Fox fires up SAMAS's rail gun.

"Hey Lucy you got some splainin to do!"

There's more than a little confusion as Fox lands--apparently a suit of flight-capable Power Armor giving a lift to a cybernetic demon was not something any of them had planned for. Many of the poor souls along the wall, of course, panic at the sight of a new horror, presumably here to steal them from the Necromancer's Death Cult just to make them all into stew. Others plead with the demon to make their ends quick. And a few actually seem to comprehend that this is definitely a rescue, and simply cheer. (It should be noted, though, that a large portion of them simply watch, resigned and uncaring. It's the sight of these broken, hopeless souls and the nightmarish conditions they have been held in that is, in many ways, the most demoralizing to the Jokers.)

Even as Fox and Chok'lat touch down in the hold, Fox is struck by a massive wave of dark energy. It seems to reach into the very essence of his being, attempting to warp it, and rip the very soul from his body.
Player Directions
Fox needs to Soak. He took a direct hit from a Soul Blast variant Onslaught. He doesn't get his Armor, but he does get half his Spirit added to Toughness. The Toughness boost from his Armor does apply, so he ends up with, I believe a net Toughness of 14 against the blast (Vigor d8, Spirit d8, Brawny, SAMAS: 4+2+4+1+3 = 14). The shot did a total of 36 Damage, so 22 = 5 Wounds.

Once that's done, we're in the bottom of the round: Henry, Calyx, Growler, Echo.

Until the next time Xavier's card comes up, people can make Notice -8 rolls to target him with attacks (if someone else that goes before you succeeds, you can hit the square with AoE effects, legitimately). Attackers can lower this penalty with Detect Arcana (-4) or Exalted Detect Arcana (No Penalty), IF they succeed at an Arcane Skill roll, Difficulty 7, first (the skill check is free, but if you actually have to cast the power first, that takes its usual action cost for your character). Note that direct attacks are at the same penalties as the Notice roll, for your character; AoE attacks are not affected by the penalty. In addition, direct attacks are also at a -2 Greater Deflection penalty.

FLASHBACK wrote:There was once when Fox was in the Senate Building on Coruscant that he had felt something like this. The pain was excruciating and it had nearly killed him and his three man escort for Senator Palpatine. Video footage later showed that it had only been the five of them in the Senator's Quarters, which could only mena that the Senator had done it. Fox had never been able to prove it though.
"Jokers. The mystery man is on deck below."

Fox goes to one knee trying to hold his chest but is hampered by the Power Armor. He is using the barrel of the railgun to keep himself from toppling over.

Calyx glanced at Echo as he made his way towards the hatch. "You gonna be okay?" He asked more out of politeness rather than any ability to help if she wasn't okay - he didn't have any healing powers or ability. Something to think about maybe.

He put away his rifle, ignoring Fox's 'orders' and jumped down in to the hold through the hatch, immediately rearing back a bit in shock. "Fuck! Skeletons??" He kicked on his electrical aura, though he wasn't sure if electricity - or, hell, even lasers - were very good against animated skeletons. "What the hell, man! We get the weirdest shit!"

He called out over the coms, "Fox! I didn't listen! I came in t'the hold! I made a bad decision an' I need t'take these skeletons down or it's game over, man! GAME OVER!" The soldier voice came back in his ear, and Calyx frowned incredulously. "Got it! Skeletons're vulnerable t'elect - are you kiddin' me??" But it was too late - the electrical energy was expanding outwards from him already.

Henry stares down into the ship, stares as hard as he can. After what seems like forever, he sees, something. He looks upward and closes his eyes, whispering the sacred words. His head again looks into the abyss, dark eyes clearly fixating on a point. Any near him with the sight see something ripple, moving quickly from his body toward the spot he's looking at. He frowns as nothing happens.

Alertness (IF) Not much gets by your hero. He’s very observant and perceptive, and adds +2 to his Notice rolls to hear, see, or otherwise sense the world around him.
Danger Sense (IF) Your hero can sense when something bad is about to happen. Anytime he’s about to be the victim of a surprise attack, ambush, or other nasty surprise, he gets a Notice roll at –2 just before the attack or event occurs. If successful, the character knows something is about to happen and may take appropriate action against it. This means the hero is on Hold for the first round of a combat.

Calyx completely overcooks the skeletons, causing their bones to explode inside their armor, falling to the ground in an ungainly heap, and also leaves Sloth badly battered as the scent of ozone fills the hold. Meanwhile, both Growler and Henry are able to pinpoint the Necromancer's position, standing just behind the Juicer dubbed Gluttony (on the far side from Jacob, space F4). Henry, with his augmented vision, actually sees the vile man, wearing what seems to be a heavily modded suit of Triax armor. In a true perversion, Henry realizes it's the medic suit. Surrounding the suit, he can also see twisted, swirling forms of tormented souls, apparently ready to intercept blows directed at the Necromancer.

Henry's subsequent attempt to destroy the spells on the dark mage fails to render him visible to his companions, but it does manage to free the bound souls that the craven monster was using as a shield.

Growler decides to get Echo back in the game, eliminating the exhaustion she felt from being struck low just a moment ago. Her own resistance to pain means she can act freely, though perhaps still needing to be cautious until she manages to restore her substance from the Ley Line.

As soon as she is knocked unconscious from the blow Echo’s mind naturally begins to merge with the ambient PPE in the environment. Her psychic awareness reaching out all it finds is fear, true, raw, refined fear. Trapped her mind reals it cannot hide, but only experience the horror and terror within the psychic environment Echo struggles to maintain any kind of self awareness, but is unable.

The seconds passing outside are experienced as an eternity in the psychic landscape as she spells that bind her identity begin breaking down, the terror preventing her from isolating her own self identity.

Suddenly within she feels warmth as her body is invigorated from the fatigue and exhaustion she had been suffering. Pulling herself together Echo tries to clear her head and looks for who this invisible creature is, paying special attention to her psychic awareness.

Moving over so that she can see the invisible assailant working unopposed on the battlefield Echo reaches out releases an aura of such horrible fear and terror it can overwhelm the soul and causes the foe and her allies near by to explode in lightning consuming their body and revealing them to the others.

"Snack. Chok'lat. You have back up. Ice that caster for me. I am taking Pokey up top."

Fox switches from hover to flight mode, flashes his vents at the Visible Three, grateful that fire and heat do little for the demon, and turns toward Sloth.

Switching to the PA system on SAMAS, "Come on Stinky. Let's see if you are any good for target practice."

Flying in close with SAMAS, Fox goes toe to toe with the Murder Wraith.

Why would anyone ever aspire to be this?

Having grappled the Murder Wraith, Fox throws on his PA system, "Damn, man don't you bathe. You stink worse than sweaty wet feet in combat boots for five days."
Soak
  • Vigor [dice]9[/dice]
  • Wild [dice]8[/dice]
The struggle is real and the Murder Wraith connects a solid hit and Fox is grateful for the Power Armor that allows him to take the hits and keep on fighting.

Fox has a firm hold of the Murder Wraith and hovers left and then out of the hold and up into the early morning air. "You need a bath. So into the drink you go."

Flying away from the derelict, Fox heads SAMAS out towards the deeper waters of the lake, maxing out his move and elevation as much as possible, before releasing the Murder Wraith.
Soren's Comments
Okay, Move-and-Grapple is a weird gap in the rules. So I'm going to have to make this up on the fly.

If Fox is grabbing, flying as fast as he can away from the boat and dropping all in one round, I'm going to rule that he gets his flight speed, and with no Piloting rolls can get about 10" away from the side of the ship. If he makes a Piloting roll, he can turn at a sharper angle as soon as he gets out of the hold, and so can get about 15". Piloting at -2 means he can make a VERY sharp turn, and ends up about 20" away. [More]

At the end of the flight, then, he would drop the guy. The MW gets a Strength check to try to hold on (we'll use the 14 to be the base for that).

Facing off head to head against 3 juicers was more than one typically prepares for. Jacob did the best he could to keep the enemy focused on him. Each time he swung the juicers would block for themselves or for one another. He couldn't get through their defenses. All he hoped was his distraction bought enough time for the rest of the team to get in place and finish them off.
Character Summary
Jacob ‘Snack Happy’ Grimlock a M.A.R.S. Robot Armor Pilot
Active effects: None
Parry: 6 (8 w/Cestus)
Toughness: 20(9)/35(17) in Sasha
Notable Edges: Professional, Expert, Ace, Combat Ace, Level Headed, Improved Level Headed, Quick, Robot Armor Jock, McGyver, Two-Fisted, Rock and Roll, Ambidextrous, Command, Tactician
Skills: Notice d6, Repair d8 +2,Knowledge(Battle) d6, Knowledge(Electronics) d8, Piloting d10+2, Driving d6+2, Fighting d8, Shooting d12+2
Equipment of Note:
Triax T-13 Field Mechanic(Modified):+9 Armor and +2 Toughness, Full Environmental; Comms (10 miles), Loudspeakers, laser distancer, night vision mode,Laser Torch (Range 4/8/16, Damage 3d6, RoF 1, AP 3, Mega Damage), Laser Finger (Str+d4 in melee reach 1 Strength d6 arm, +2 Repair checks)
Wilk’s 227 Pulse Laser Pistol (Range 18/36/72, Damage 2d6+1, RoF 1, AP 4, 24 Shots, Semi-Auto)

NG-V61 Gunwolf(Sasha): Size 6, Crew 2 modded for tail copilot, Strength d12+6, Toughness 35 (17), Pace 10
Notes: M.D.C. Armor
Weapon Systems:
  • 2 × Dual-linked Medium RailGuns (right forearm)|(Range 100/200/400, +1 to hit, Damage 3d10+6, RoF 3, AP 14, 60 Shots, Mega Damage)
  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • Medium Missile Launcher (chest) |(Range 200/400/800, Damage 8d6, RoF 1, AP 15, 4 Shots, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • 2 × Dual-Linked Light Laser (eyes) | (Range 150/300/600, +1 to hit, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, AP 5, Mega Damage)
  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)
  • Modified per loot to add +2 AP off of hero's journey

Technically, that should be 2 higher, because Necromancers and slumber go together like Cyber-Knights and stuffiness.
Raise: Spirit to resist at -4 to all in effect

Sloth Wild Spirit [dice]6[/dice]
Huh. Who'd'a guessed?

True Invis: 3
Intangibility: 1

Echo and Chok'lat must both roll Spirit -4 or fall asleep. Failure means you're prone, and that you drop whatever weapon you have out (if any). Since it's Greater Slumber, anyone who fails needs to be physically jarred awake (this counts as a normal action by the person doing the waking-up). Finally, if you do fall asleep and are awakened, you have to roll Vigor or be at -2 Parry until your next action, due to violent muscle spasms.
Henry can see the Necromancer making some gestures, and suddenly, two of the Jokers feel their muscles and joints locking up in agony, threatening to knock them out completely. (Calyx also feels the surge of energy, but to him, it's nothing more than a tickle, easily countered by his own mastery of electrical energy.) To make matters worse, the Necromancer then slips through the floor into the lower hold, out of Echo's energy field.

Synn Strength [dice]10[/dice]
Wild Strength [dice]11[/dice]
Meanwhile, over the lake, Synn the Murder Wraith, very surprised to find himself there, now attempts to NOT be tossed into the water. Unfortunately for him, the SAMAS proves stronger than his supernatural strength, and into the dark waters he goes, skipping a few times across the surface. Of course, having gunned it so heavily to get out here, Fox is going to have to re-orient himself to get back.
OOC Comments
Okay, SAMAS maneuverability is a bit dodgy, but I'm going to adapt the vehicle movement rules for this.

Option 1: For your next two rounds (Round 4 and 5), you make a Piloting roll at no modifier; on the third turn (Round 6), you'll be back above the boat and able to act.

Option 2: Next action (Round 4), you can make a Bootlegger Reverse (Piloting-4). on the following round (Round 5) you'll be back and able to act.

Just so you know, this is me assuming the SAMAS is a bit more maneuverable than a normal vehicle--under a strict reading of the rules, Option 1 would be a full four turns, and option 2 would be 3 turns.

Gluttony and Avarice both Wild Attack SnackHappy, using Imp. Frenzy (+2 Wild Attack, +1 from Gang-up, -2 to both their Parry). Snackhappy's Parry is 8. Toughness after AP 2 on all attacks is 18.

Avarice Imp. Frenzy [dice]4[/dice] Hit [dice]12[/dice] + [dice]13[/dice] TOTAL: 19 AP 2 SHAKEN
Avarice Wild Fighting [dice]5[/dice]

If Snack soaks Gluttony's attack, then he is only Shaken by Avarice's; if he fails to soak and remains Shaken, then he'll take a second wound from Avarice.

Sloth activates his IRS (Vigor +2, then +2 for Fast Healer, No Wound Penalties):
Vigor [dice]14[/dice]
Wild Vigor [dice]15[/dice]
2 Wounds Healed, fresh as a daisy.

Firing laser rifle at the Brodkil screaming bloody vengeance:
Shooting [dice]16[/dice] Hit Damage: [dice]22[/dice] AP 3 THAT TICKLES
Wild Shooting [dice]17[/dice]
Move to square T3

Bottom of the round (though folks might want to wait until Snack's rolled his Soak roll to see if he needs help or not:
Echo: 7H
Growler (Q): 6H
Calyx (Q): 6D
Henry: 3S
Chok'lat: 3H
Herra's rejuvenating power stimulates mild healing across the hostages, fixing infected wounds, healing bruises, and so forth. They are still all utterly drained, but they definitely have an improvement to morale, except for some of the worst cases, who continue to just languish there.

Avarice and Gluttony continue to try to tag-team Snackhappy, each landing blows, though well within the Grackletooth's ability to shake off (probably).

Sloth, meanwhile, decides that a cybernetic demon screaming bloody vengeance is something to be addressed. And after he sees how his laser rifle barely tickles the Brodkil, he decides to opt for the better part of valor, heading towards the aft of the ship at speed, getting just to the edge of the stairs going to the lower hold.

Anyone who bothers to look at Henry during the melee notices that his eyes briefly cloud then after he digs deeper to apply his will, turn a flat black color as he reaches out with his extra sight. His face is a blank mask as his projected senses desperately attempt to pierce the magical effect to no avail. A frown appears on his face as he casts dispel, willing to risk it even if it cancels out his own extra sensory perception. "It's so dark", he mutters, mostly to himself.

Danger Sense (IF) Your hero can sense when something bad is about to happen. Anytime he’s about to be the victim of a surprise attack, ambush, or other nasty surprise, he gets a Notice roll at –2 just before the attack or event occurs. If successful, the character knows something is about to happen and may take appropriate action against it. This means the hero is on Hold for the first round of a combat. Should the hero fail his roll, he still follows the normal Surprise rules, if applicable (see page 73).

Henry projects his senses below-decks, and, like Herra before him, finds his perceptions occluded by some foul, mystical force. He peers through his expanded senses fruitlessly, then decides to take a more direct approach to the problem, firing off anti-magic burst at point-blank to his sensor--which he manages to keep up and running, despite the power he hurls at and through it. And he's pretty certain something does fall, though it's hard to tell much. He knows one thing, though--the occluding ritual effect is still running strong.

Another wash of healing power flows over Echo and the invigoration feels great. Until seeing Snackhappy surrounded by enemies Echo does not hesitate. With her mind focused on the task at hand she releases Splinter to help and the two of them concentrate a conflagration of shocking electricity and burning flames on the juicers.

Jacob takes the hit and again embraces the pain. Doing his best to not show any signs of weakness to these juicers.
Character Summary

Toughness: 20(9)/35(17) in Sasha
Notable Edges: Professional, Expert, Ace, Combat Ace, Level Headed, Improved Level Headed, Quick, Robot Armor Jock, McGyver, Two-Fisted, Rock and Roll, Ambidextrous, Command, Tactician
Skills: Notice d6, Repair d8 +2,Knowledge(Battle) d6, Knowledge(Electronics) d8, Piloting d10+2, Driving d6+2, Fighting d8, Shooting d12+2
Equipment of Note:
Triax T-13 Field Mechanic(Modified):+9 Armor and +2 Toughness, Full Environmental; Comms (10 miles), Loudspeakers, laser distancer, night vision mode,Laser Torch (Range 4/8/16, Damage 3d6, RoF 1, AP 3, Mega Damage), Laser Finger (Str+d4 in melee reach 1 Strength d6 arm, +2 Repair checks)
Wilk’s 227 Pulse Laser Pistol (Range 18/36/72, Damage 2d6+1, RoF 1, AP 4, 24 Shots, Semi-Auto)

NG-V61 Gunwolf(Sasha): Size 6, Crew 2 modded for tail copilot, Strength d12+6, Toughness 35 (17), Pace 10
Notes: M.D.C. Armor
Weapon Systems:
  • 2 × Dual-linked Medium RailGuns (right forearm)|(Range 100/200/400, +1 to hit, Damage 3d10+6, RoF 3, AP 14, 60 Shots, Mega Damage)
  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • Medium Missile Launcher (chest) |(Range 200/400/800, Damage 8d6, RoF 1, AP 15, 4 Shots, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • 2 × Dual-Linked Light Laser (eyes) | (Range 150/300/600, +1 to hit, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, AP 5, Mega Damage)
  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)
  • Modified per loot to add +2 AP off of hero's journey

Chok'lat growls at the gang surrounding his friend SnackHappy. "LEAVE MY BOSS ALONE!" He lets off a burst with his shotgun, pummeling both of the remaining juicers fully, the slugs tearing into their flesh. He follows it up with a screaming charge, his vibrosword flitting about in a mad dash to tear the fiends away from his ally. The slashes, while backed with the full weight and power of a pissed off demon, manage very little, though one swipe does catch Avarice hard enough to notice. "Chok'lat's gonna make you drain!"

Calyx's body gave a small involuntary shudder as magic washed over him to no effect. The electrical aura around stuttered and folded back down to just envelop his own body once more. His eyes slowly tracked the one juicer who started trying to run away. He shook his head. "Safety first! No runnin' onboard with weapons in hand. That's how accidents happen."

He let loose a bolt of lightning at the fleeing Juicer, figuring SnackHappy and Chok'lat could handle their own with Echo's help.

Avarice spends benny to Soak:
Vigor [dice]0[/dice]
Wild Soak [dice]1[/dice]
-4; forgot to add in the effect of the energy field. So yeah, her life sucks, too.

Gluttony has no Bennies.

Avarice is Shaken and has two Wounds. Ignore the mistaken First Strike roll below.
Gluttony is Shaken and has two Wounds.
Sloth is unaffected by Calyx's attack.


Avarice First Strike [dice]2[/dice]
Wild Fighting [dice]3[/dice]
Swing and a miss!

Chok'lat's burst of violence has great effect on the two Juicers. Gluttony just was rocked by first the gunshot and then the sword blow, and is now suffering from laser burns to the face and a gaping wound in that immense gut. Avarice was similarly battered, though she clearly made an attempt to withstand her own laser-blast; it seemed like something malfunctioned in her armor as a result of Echo's energy field.

Calyx's lightning bolt looked solid, but the metal of the ship must have interfered, drawing off too much of the juice to leave enough to affect Sloth.
OOC Comments
On a Notice roll (which can, if you want, wait until your next post), either SnackHappy or Chok'lat can spot the fact that when Avarice soaked the laser-shot, chemicals from her rig actually pumped THROUGH tubes and pipes on her Juicer Plate--almost like it's not standard-issue, anymore than her laser-rifle is. You guys REALLY want to score some loot from these folks.

Calyx calmly walked closer to the two juicers at hand even as he flicked another, more powerful-looking, lightning bolt at the fleeing juicer. "A little jumpstart for your engine, yah?" He glanced at Chok'lat and gave a small apologetic smile and shrug. "Know what happens t'a Brodkil standin' too close t'Juicers in a lightnin' storm? Same thing that happens t'everyone else. Sorry not sorry!" But then field fizzled and everyone looked like it didn't hurt. He hung his head. "Which is NOTHIN' apparently, damnit!"

Sloth:

Sloth IRS: [dice]0[/dice]
Wild Vigor: [dice]1[/dice]
Forgot +2 for IRS. Total 8.
Heal 2 Wounds, still has 1 Wounds going down the steps.

Rolling to Unshake for Gluttony and Avarice. If either fails, I will spend a GM Benny to unshake them:
Gluttony Unshake [dice]6[/dice]
Wild Gluttony Unshake [dice]7[/dice]

Avarice Unshake [dice]8[/dice]
Wild Avarice Unshake [dice]9[/dice]
-2 GM Bennies to unshake them both.

For the next bit, the following stats may be important:
Gluttony: Parry: 5; Toughness: 16 (6), Uncanny Reflexes -2
Avarice: Parry: 7; Toughness: 15 (6), Uncanny Reflexes -2
Laser Rifle as an Improvised Weapon, in Calyx's hands: -1 to Fighting, total damage 2d6+3d8

Gluttony Wild Attack Frenzies on Chok'lat, then moves to C3, before using IRS to try to heal once out of the field. Chok'lat Parry 12 because of Shield.

Gluttony Fighting [dice]2[/dice]
Wild Fighting [dice]3[/dice]
Miss!
Chok'lat will get a Free Strikes as Gluttony withdraws; in addition, Calyx can get a Free Strike if he uses his laser rifle as an Improvised Weapon (-1 to Fighting, and his Parry drops by 1 until his next action). If they Shake him but leave him alive (ie, either a Shaken result or a single Wound), I will spend a GM benny to unshake, then continue with the withdraw movement to C3. If the Free Strikes kill him or just miss, then I will keep the benny. I will only spend a benny to unshake once, so if both hits shake him, then he's done.
Gluttony IRS: [dice]4[/dice]
Wild Vigor [dice]5[/dice]
Forgot +2 for IRS: 10 total
Gluttony will heal two wounds if Chok'lat doesn't take him down with the Free Strike.

Avarice will withdraw to O4. This provokes a Free Strike from SnackHappy (which can be either the Tail Cestus or the Hammer, as he prefers) AND from Chok'lat, AND, again, from Calyx (again, using the rifle as an Improvised Weapon). Again, if the Free Strikes only Shake her, or miss entirely, then I will Spend a GM Benny to unshake. If the Free Strike kills her (only need to score 1 Wound to Incap her) I keep the Benny. I will only spend 1 Benny this way, so multiple Shake attacks will suffice to stop her. If she gets to O4 alive, she will use IRS, drop her sword and Quick-Draw her Laser Rifle, firing it at Jacob.

Not one to let the Juicer walk away Jacob swings his hammer, totally missing Avarice. "Grr...Sasha wouldn't have let me down so," he cursed under his breath at the situation.

Wilk’s 227 Pulse Laser Pistol (Range 18/36/72, Damage 2d6+1, RoF 1, AP 4, 24 Shots, Semi-Auto)

NG-V61 Gunwolf(Sasha): Size 6, Crew 2 modded for tail copilot, Strength d12+6, Toughness 35 (17), Pace 10
Notes: M.D.C. Armor
Weapon Systems:
  • 2 × Dual-linked Medium RailGuns (right forearm)|(Range 100/200/400, +1 to hit, Damage 3d10+6, RoF 3, AP 14, 60 Shots, Mega Damage)
  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • Medium Missile Launcher (chest) |(Range 200/400/800, Damage 8d6, RoF 1, AP 15, 4 Shots, Mega Damage, MBT)
  • 2 × Dual-Linked Light Laser (eyes) | (Range 150/300/600, +1 to hit, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, AP 5, Mega Damage)
  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)
  • Modified per loot to add +2 AP off of hero's journey

Chok'lat reacts with lightning speed (incidental boost from Calyx?) as the two juicers make their attempts to run. "HEY! Where you goin'?! Chok'lat ain't done with you yet!" And he's not, either. Gluttony gets the worst of it, running squarely into Chok'lat's front swing. The vibrosword cuts a variety of vital organs and blood vessels, and the deadly sin hits the floor hard. The backswing catches Avarice, though not nearly as heavily. Still, it's enough of a shot to give the juicer pause. He gives Calyx a look of exuberance. "Hey! Nice little jolt! That woke Chok'lat up!" The demon appears more amped up than before.

Calyx saw that both of the juicers in melee with him were trying to get away, get out of the area. His eyes narrowed. "Hey batta, batta, batta! Suh-WING, batta, batta!" He swung out with his rifle twice, electricity dancing around him. Of course, the first swing went wide - but what did you expect with someone swinging a rifle around like a club.

Re: Missing! Blood on the Water

The Juicers, confronted by a definitely superior force, attempt to scatter in an effort to live long enough to do some damage of their own. The effort is less successful than they might have hoped. Sloth's blast is completely ineffectual, and while he's able to recover some of the damage Calyx inflicted on him, he still seems to decide that retreating down to the basement is a good idea; those closest to the stairs can hear a metal door opening on the level below.

Avarice manages to survive the attacks on her as she flees, but her own attempt to shoot Chok'lat is also a dismal failure. Even after firing up the IRS, she still looks badly beaten--a solid blow will likely finish her off.

Gluttony falls victim to Chok'lat's vicious strike, failing to get out of the energy field, and thus never firing off his IRS to recover from the injuries. He falls to the floor, still as stone.

Meanwhile, many of the Jokers find their footing and are able to go.
OOC Comments
Okay, so now it's 'Everyone But Fox'. And actually, Fox can go as well--Xavier's actions this round aren't likely to become evident to you all, unless Henry manages to pierce the remote-sense Occlusion ritual.

He proceeds to dump a burst into the wounded juicer, turning her torso into a bucket of pulp. Not content with the ranged death blow, he charges the rest of the way to take a swipe at Avarice's buckshot-riddled body. "NOW Chok'lat's done with you!" He raises his weaponry in triumph. "We got the bad guys! See how good Chok'lat did?"

"It is time to get to the bottom of things." The size and scope of the pun seems lost on the Serran as she fearlessly leaps into the hold (falling damage, if so, use healing as a free action if needed to keep moving) and moves with purpose toward the top of the stairs, cutting down any juicer who stands her way. If one happens to run under the hold as she is making her leap, she definitely goes "death from above" on his ass.

Echo Notice Roll: [dice]0[/dice]
Notice Wild Die: [dice]1[/dice]
Seeing the danger of her allies running down through the one and only hole into the lower deck of the ship. Looking at Splinter Echo nods, then reaching out with her nature she merges part of her psyche with the steel of the hull and pulls. Steel is normally very difficult for her, but she understands how important it is here. Unfortunately this steel was far stronger than she could manipulate and resisted her effort. Then altering her shape to that of a cheetah she jumps down and moves towards the stairs leading down to the lower deck.

Seeing no hole appear Splinter likewise takes on the form of a cheetah jumping down and heading for the stairs Sloth went down, stopping adjacent to Echo she floods the area of the stair well and below with waves of lightning hoping it will not only hit Sloth, but any potential enemies under the stairs as well.

Rolls and Mechanics, Echo and Splinter move to 2" from sloth (or 8" whichever is less) and Splinter gets a raise for -4 to all rolls if either of them are within a MBT of the hole opened down there.
As per breaking things I am assuming the steel of the interior deck is a Toughness 10. As interior is not armored. The desired hole is specifically dead center just in case. Vetoed, by GM ruling interior is MD materials.

Henry's curiousity gets the better of him. I NEED to know what's in there! He collapses into raven form causing a few peanuts to spill from his over stuffed pockets, and again tries to penetrate the mystical blackness, this time with his sharper avian eyes as he flies forward.

A scratchy voice penetrates the cool night air "He's in the bow, and he's got a key, caw caw caw!"

Alertness (IF) Not much gets by your hero. He’s very observant and perceptive, and adds +2 to his Notice rolls to hear, see, or otherwise sense the world around him.
Danger Sense (IF) Your hero can sense when something bad is about to happen. Anytime he’s about to be the victim of a surprise attack, ambush, or other nasty surprise, he gets a Notice roll at –2 just before the attack or event occurs. If successful, the character knows something is about to happen and may take appropriate action against it. This means the hero is on Hold for the first round of a combat. Should the hero fail his roll, he still follows the normal Surprise rules, if applicable (see page 73).

Growler passes by Henry on his way down the stairs, ultimately creeping forward through the two doors at the base of the steps--neither one was shut behind Sloth. In the largest of the lower deck rooms, which is almost completely dark, he sees the form of Sloth, silhouetted against the faint light coming underneath the door to the foremost cabin--presumably the one the raven was talking about. He's reaching for the door, but has not yet opened it.

Oh, also, the big dark room that he's creeping through? There's apparently a huge carved obsidian sarcophagus in the middle of it... that's what he's hiding behind as he creeps up on the Juicer. But it smells just like you'd expect volcanic stone to smell, so nothing unordinary about it, other than all the creepy skull and evil motifs in the surface of the thing.
Deck C positions
Growler is on Deck C (the lowest one), space M5. Yes, he's diagonally adjacent to the sarcophagus, looking over it to see Sloth. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. It doesn't even smell magical, after all.

Sloth is in space H3, not quite at the door yet, but apparently going there.

For further edification, Henry's Clarivoyance point is at F4, and Xavier is at B3.

Fox is up next.

Having taxed SAMAS by hauling the BCU (Big, Creepy, and Ugly) into the drink for a bath. Fox flips on his external PA as turns a 360. "Do yourself a favor Smelly. Learn to use soap."

Taking his time getting back Fox hovers back on 1/4 power attempting to make it to the top deck of the ship and find out the status of the rest of the team.

Toggling comms from external to team freq, "This is Fox. Status for those able to respond."

Re: Missing! Blood on the Water

Post by Freemage »

Fox manages to perform the difficult switchback maneuver effortlessly, and is heading back to the boat. Meanwhile, the Jokers are beginning to close in on the last remaining villains. Growler has come upon something in the hold, something very suspicious, but he may need to wait to investigate it, as the Juicer, Sloth is in the same room with him right now, and Xavier the Necromancer is in his cabin at the prow, getting something out of a cabinet, from what Henry could see.
Round 5 Map, Initiative, Instructions
Chok'lat got a Black Joker, so gets +2 to all actions this turn, and everyone gets a benny--yay! Unfortunately, he's still pretty far from getting into the action on the deck below. A run die of 4 or greater would get him into a position to shoot at Sloth, but that would also suffer a -2 cover penalty, as well as the MAP for running and shooting in the same round. Of course, if someone can hit him with Speed or Quickness (he would have to hold until whoever the caster is to be able to pull this off), that could change things considerably.

Chok'lat, Henry and Jacob are up first, then the bad guys. I need Henry to make a Notice roll at -4 at the start of his action, and you may want to wait for what that reveals before continuing.

Note that Fox will get back to the ship at the end of his action this round, and will be able to land anywhere on the top deck, or in any of the four squares of the hatch on the deck below.

Actually, it's his real eyes that spot something, as the necromancer is still fiddling with the latch downstairs. A dark aura begins to settle around the fallen Juicers... and Avarice's body even starts to twitch!
Juicer Locations
Okay, Juicers who are starting to twitch are at Deck A, G4 (Envy), Deck B, E3/E4 (Lust, Wrath, Avarice and Gluttony).

Chok'lat, amped up by the psionic encouragement of the raven mystic, doesn't even stop to think about the hardly veiled insult about his girth. He shouts as he sprints for the stairs, "CHOK'LAT AIN'T FAT!" He blows past the rest of his crew, taking the stairs downwards in a single leap and not even breaking pace as he hits the floor of the bottom deck. As he runs, he shouts to Growler. "HEY! Look out. Chok'lat got the lazy one!" As he rounds the sarcophagus, he lets loose with a withering barrage of buckshot, blasting Sloth into the next world. For good measure, he swipes his vibrosword at the juicer's neck, hewing it quite cleanly and knocking the head back towards the stairs, all before the body of Sloth can hit the ground. "Who's next?! HOW MANY?! Chok'lat's got more for everybody!"

  • Medium Ion Cannon (left forearm) | (Range 40/80/160, Damage 4d8, RoF 1, AP 4, Mega Damage, MBT)

  • 2 × Dual-Linked Light Laser (eyes) | (Range 150/300/600, +1 to hit, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, AP 5, Mega Damage)
  • Heavy Flamethrower (jaws). A heavy chemical flamethrower, the damage ignores all but Full Environment Protection armor (Range Cone, Damage 2d10+2, RoF 1, Mega Damage)
  • Assault Jaws/Claws/Rail gun spikes. The Gunwolf has a number of close combat weapons built-in (Damage d12+d8+6, AP 2, Mega Damage)
  • Wolf’s Howl Transmitter Array. As an action, the pilot activates this system, affecting all targets within a Large Burst Template centered on the Gunwolf (the Gunwolf itself is immune). Victims must make a Smarts roll at −2 or be Shaken (−4 if the target has some kind of enhanced hearing, GM’s call).
Jump Jets To jump, the pilot uses an action to make a Piloting roll to both maneuver his walker and manage his power reserves. Each round spent jumping increases his height 50 feet. Each subsequent round spent jumping (essentially flying) afterwards inflicts a –2 to the Piloting roll, cumulative to a maximum of –6. Failure means the walker descends immediately (a critical failure results in a fall; you suffer (6+X)d6 damage, where X = Height/10).
You may also make a Death From Above attack by landing on an enemy vehicle or armor unit. This is an opposed roll of your Piloting vs. their Piloting/Driving/Boating Skill. If you fail, it is treated as a 20' Fall (8d6 damage). If you succeed, you land on top of them, doing (6+X)d6 damage, where X is your starting Height/10.

Ammo:
  • 12 medium missiles
    450 railgun rounds
    80 shots for Flamethrower
    24 BigBore Shells
Razorback Cloak (unenchanted, crafted from exotic materials)
  • Created from the hides of boars mutated with demonic magic; the metal-infused spines and razor-sharp edges often seem to flex in the defense of the wearer.
  • Grants +2 to opposed rolls whenever the wearer is in a Grapple (whether it's a Strength/Agility roll to break free, or a Fighting roll to inflict damage).
  • When worn, the wearer gains the benefits of the Extraction and Combat Sense Edges (if they have either of these Edges already, they gain the Improved version).
  • However, the shiny material and grating, rasping noise they make when worn give the wearer a -2 penalty to Stealth rolls.
  • 2 lbs
  • Value: 25,000 Cr, in part because they aren't exactly attractive.
NG-B50 Thunderer Combat Hammer
Str+d10+3d6
Notes: Mega Damage. BigBore shells provide the +3d6 and must be reloaded after 8 strikes.
BigBore shells cost 125 credits each (1,000 credits for a full reload). (Silvered)

C-29 “Hellfire” Heavy Plasma Cannon
18/36/72 3d10+4
Notes: Min Str d8, Mega Damage, Snapfire. Plasma hits all of a target at once, ignoring Armor unless
it’s fully covering. Targets may ignite (6 on a d6), burning for 1d10 continuous damage until doused.

LongTooth Clan Tail Cestus (Super-Tech Signature Item)
This cestus, custom crafted for Jacob's tail by the Longtooth Clan of the Dinosaur Swamp, lets him clear a large arc of enemies; it also serves as a constant reminder of surviving the Xiticix Hive there, and so renders him immune to fear.
Base Item: Chain Longsword (Str + 2d8 MD, AP 4)
  • ST Mods (8 points)
  • Parry +2 (2 pts)
  • Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Improved Sweep Edge (2 pts)
  • Fearless (2 pts)
  • Modified per loot to add +2 AP off of hero's journey

As Henry continues to observe, Xavier reaches into the chest, and with considerable effort, pulls out a HUGE tome. It's easily two feet tall, over a foot wide, and several inches thick, and Henry's pretty sure it's bound in human skin. He begins putting it into a backpack, as quickly as he can--which is apparently not very fast.

Growler can tell the door to the cabin is fairly sturdy, and probably locked.
OOC Comments
The door has a Toughness of 16 (6) and requires Mega-Damage to actually break. It requires a slashing or bashing weapon to break. An area effect, MD-capable spell (Blast or Burst) would be able to get through the door with enough damage; Bolt isn't going to break enough of it.

Lockpicking can also work, but suffers a -2 penalty due to being a high-quality lock, and requires suitable tools (if you have some sort of toolkit that isn't actual lockpicks, that's an additional -2 penalty).

Before heading down the stairs Herra lets he blade expire and draws her TK Rifle. The quarters will be close, but she learned from fighting the Xiticix that close in fighting against more nimble foes can be devastating. Carefully, she descends the stairs and takes up a firing position at the bottom. She uses the magic in her warrior's armor to see into the darkness.

Fox notices movement as Envy begins to stir and rise from the top deck. Not wasting time, he flips targeting from his railgun over to the grenade launcher and slots the plasma grenades in to the launch tube. Nearing the deck, Fox sights in and lets two plasma grenades fly towards Envy.

Calyx looked horrified and startled when the juicer 'corpses' started to move. "Oh shit there's-" He didn't get any farther as Snack Happy attempted to put them back down again - and did so with extreme prejudice!! He flashed Snack Happy a quick thumbs up, "Good job, 'boss'!" Then he turned and took off running to go down where the others were going.

He didn't quite make it to the stairwell as he took off running. Part of the reason for that was that he took a glance back over his shoulder - JUST making sure the dead Juicers weren't getting back up again this time.
Running
Running die 0.

I think that gets him to like...T2 on the mid-deck. Sigh. Ah well.

Echo and Splinter dash towards Xavier as fast as they can hopping to interfere with his plans as much as possible. But navigating the tight confines of the vessel is difficult even for a pair of cheetahs and they find them selves unable to gain line of sight on the Necromancer.

BloodOnWaterRound6.jpg
The majority of the SET has made their way downstairs, though some still remain mid-deck, where the prisoners, now that their captors are gone, begin to plead to be released from their shackles--at least, those who have the mental wherewithal to communicate at all do. Some are definitely far, far beyond that state, continuing to stare off into eternity--or perhaps oblivion would be a better way to describe their gaze.

Growler, just inside the room, is the only one (at the moment) to have direct line of sight on Xavier, still struggling to get the foul tome into its case; Chok'lat can see the shadow cast by the lights in the cabin, though, and has a fair idea of where their quarry is standing, and Echo has much the same view. Henry, of course, is also able to see what's happening, relaying it to the others in his raven's croak.

A surge of energy bursts through Calyx, and it occurs to Henry that getting him into position to make use of it might not be a bad idea....

NOTES:
OOC Comments
Calyx got a Joker. Bennies all around, and he gets +2 to his actions.

Which means that Henry, who still acts before Xavier, might want to drop a Speed effect on the Zapper--Pace 12, without running, would get Calyx to L2, which is precisely where line of sight happens (Echo fell short by one square, sadly).

In addition to those two, Fox, Growler and Echo also get to go before Xavier, so it really is time to light him up. Echo may want to let Growler go first, to see where the Bad Dog is gonna move to so she can do the energy field thing without affecting him.

Fox is pretty far from the action at this point--up to you if he's going to try running down, or helping civilians. Ditto Snackhappy. Note that flying down is NOT possible--too many sharp turns. Simple move (Pace 10") would get him to the lower half of the stairway, at which point he could run with a d8 to see how much closer he can get. (It might be more efficient to go On Hold and see if the others finish off Xavier, which will end this combat.)

Danger Sense (IF) Your hero can sense when something bad is about to happen. Anytime he’s about to be the victim of a surprise attack, ambush, or other nasty surprise, he gets a Notice roll at –2 just before the attack or event occurs. If successful, the character knows something is about to happen and may take appropriate action against it. This means the hero is on Hold for the first round of a combat.

Echo and Splinter cover the rest of the distance needed to see the Mage, stopping only a few yards from them and pushing themselves against the bulkheads to make room for the others to get through. Reaching out with her power Echo wraps the Necromancer in a field of electrical energy causing his nervous system to go into over drive. Splinter reaches out with her own power grabbing the book and pulling it away from the Necromancer.

Energy Field -4 to trait rolls, Disarm 3 (fail)
Both are stopping when 2" away from the Necromancer so they do not obscure the approach for others.

Calyx's body gave a trembling shake as something flowed in to him, power and electricity, different than what he normally felt. But he could tell it was speeding up his reflexes, making his movement faster. He grinned and thanked Henry, "Whoa,wow,man!Thanksbuddy!" His words came out a bit faster and sounded like a run-on sentence almost.

He took off at a run, heading downstairs, towards where the 'last'? bad guy was supposed to be holed up. He saw Echo as he got close and tried to give her a nod but it probably just ended up looking like a small bob as part of his running movements, lost in translation. Electricity continued to arc all over as he skidded to a stop.

A wide grin lit up his face and he said, "Hiiiiii, there!" A blast of lightning reached out in a tight arc at the necromancer.

Xavier manages to take the shot to the arm, but in doing so, the book tumbles to the floor. Then Growler sneezes at the worst possible moment, and drops his bow, which tumbles into the energy field Echo created.

Snarling in rage, Xavier steps forward, out of the field, and thrusts his hand directly against the Dog Boy's chest, and a heartbeat later, Growler feels like his soul is being ripped from his body.

SnackHappy, Chok'lat and Herra are up. In his new position, Herra can easily move into position to target him at range, then duck behind one of the crates for cover. Chok'lat, similarly, can shoot (though at a chance of hitting Growler if he rolls a 1), then move to go melee on his ass. Jacob is probably stuck on prisoner duty at this point.

Chok'lat watches the big book mage hit his furry friend, and proceeds to lose whatever cool he might've had. "You leave him alone. You fight Chok'lat instead! Chok'lat'll make you eat that book!"
He charges into range, doing his best to get a safe angle for shooting, then proceeds to load a buckshot burst at the mage. For good measure, Chok'lat charges, batting one of the discarded shotgun shells at the face of his enemy, then takes two heavy swipes at the reeling evil librarian.

Fox is grateful for the hatch access from the main deck to the second deck. Looking to the stairs where most of the SET has gone, Fox decides to not even try maneuvering those turns. Even with the wings tucked, SAMAS is big and bulky and awkward on stairs.

Fox begins surveying the second deck level. "Jokers, Fox. Will begin removing the captives. If the Necro gets by you, let me know."

There is a means to light this deck up without blinding everyone. In the process, maybe I can begin unshackling these folks as well.

Fox radios the Sheriff, "I need your rescue fleet about 200 yards from the derelict. Get a triage unit setup with hot water, clean clothes, food, and medical supplies."

As the others charge the necromancer in the cabin Herra holds her position behind some barrels and keeps a wary eye on the black box. One human was not draining all those prisoners. He was feeding something. Something nasty. If the necromancer iss released from this world, and she is confident her team mates will succeed in that regard, then whatever he was controlling will be suddenly let loose with no tether.

Raising her rifle she takes aim and waits for something to pop out of the sarcophagus like an evil obsidian jack-in-the-box.

Alertness (IF) Not much gets by your hero. He’s very observant and perceptive, and adds +2 to his Notice rolls to hear, see, or otherwise sense the world around him.
Danger Sense (IF) Your hero can sense when something bad is about to happen. Anytime he’s about to be the victim of a surprise attack, ambush, or other nasty surprise, he gets a Notice roll at –2 just before the attack or event occurs. If successful, the character knows something is about to happen and may take appropriate action against it. This means the hero is on Hold for the first round of a combat. Should the hero fail his roll, he still follows the normal Surprise rules, if applicable (see page 73).

Lucky Break
I will spend 5 EP to buy the Lucky Break (Play this card to completely negate the damage from one attack) Adventure Card to negate the attack.
Xavier's Soul Blast starts to feel like it is ripping his soul from his body, but Growler's resistance to magic that the scientists at Lone Star gave him allows him to throw it off with only the memory of the agony that it gave him.

Epilogue:

The body of the Necromancer, Xavier falls to the floor, leaving you to clean up. Searching the ship, you encounter a quartet of Skeletons, easily dispatched, in the aft-castle, which turns out to be a kind of abattoir, with a butcher's table and a large cauldron filled with what you can only assume is rotting people-flesh, removed from the bones before the skeletons were animated.

You have a large number of rescued hostages in various stages of shock and trauma, ranging from the jubilant at being rescued, to the nearly catatonic. Apparently, their torture was 'themed'--each of the so-called "Sins" took a turn, with Sloth being last (he was tasked with feeding them and tending to their wounds, and of course neglected them horribly, leading to their current conditions).

You also learn from the more coherent prisoners that occasionally, one of them would die (though not as often as you'd think); when that happened, apparently, a new Skeleton was added to the ranks--and the Juicers would make cracks about Synn getting 'fresh meat'.

Radioing back to shore that you have secured the derelict hulk and the prisoners, you are informed by the Sheriff that she'll have a small flotilla of fishing vessels out there to bring everyone back to shore by dawn. She's clearly overjoyed and grateful that you've managed to not only find all the people but destroy the cult responsible. Just before dawn, she radios back that an animated corpse of a Juicer similar to the ones you described killing on the boat came ashore and was killed by the assembled crowd--you realize after a moment that this was the reanimated Pride, the one who fell burning into the water at the beginning of the fight. Of Synn, the Murder Wraith, there is no sign at all.

Naturally, there is ample loot to be had. Much of the gear, of course, is basically going to be sold back to the Legion as uninteresting to well-equipped adventurer-heroes such as yourselves, but a few pieces--in particular, the personal armament of the Necromancer Xavier--seem to stand out.

And then there's....

The Sarcophagus of Eternal Night
This is a giant, obsidian sarcophagus. The sides are etched with images of death and terror, without a hint of subtlety, even by Rifts@ Earth standards. Herra has managed to identify it as the anchor-point for the Occlusion effect that is blockading divination powers (including divination, clairvoyance, mind reading and detect arcana), out to a range of about a hundred yards in any direction. You're not entirely certain how they got it down here--it's literally larger than the doors leading to the only stairs going up.
You consider opening it, but the very moment anyone makes a gesture to do so, Henry gets a premonition of a danger in doing so--you quickly realize it would at least be best to wait until the hostages are off the ship, just in case.

And then there's....

The Bleak Tome
This putrid text is an obscenity just to look at. The pages are human skin, writ in blood, and the cover is more skin, turned to leather and then stretched over carved bone (though from what creature is hard to tell--a flat bone the size of this wretched book would be difficult to find. 3' tall by 2' wide and more than three inches thick, the book seems to exert it's own gravity, pulling the bearer down when carried.
The text is in some ancient language not commonly used on Rifts@ Earth, though strangely, Echo finds herself able to read it--normally, she can only translate spoken words, but there's something about this book that seems alive, at least enough to serve as a basis for her to understand it.
If you skim it
Even a brief contemplation of the book's contents makes it clear that this thing is an obscenity. It speaks of dark and powerful magics meant to enhance the power of even the most minor of spells. All of the rituals contained therein require blood-sacrifices; most would need a human or other sophant species to be able to actually succeed.

Anyone with this Tome may choose to take the following Edge as an Advance, if they have the pre-reqs:
Necromancer [Professional]
Pre-Reqs: Novice, AB: Spellcasting or AB: Miracles/Mysticism, Spellcasting or Faith d8, Spirit d8
This Edge has several impacts on the caster who delves this dark art.
1: Necromantic Trappings are opened up to the caster, and any existing Powers may be re-Trapped with Necromantic Trappings if they so choose.
2: The character learns the zombie Power; if the character has Master of Magic, they may use the Mega-Power version to create the more advanced Zombies out of Savage Foes of North America.
3: The character rolls at +2 when casting zombie, lower Trait, drain Power Points, slumber, or fear.
4: Dark Harvest: The character can use the Drain PPE rules for Psi-Stalkers from the TLPG, but ONLY via ritual sacrifice.
4: Twisted Aura: The character acquires a dark, malevolent aura; this gives them a -2 Charisma, which goes to -4 when dealing with any non-Necromancer with some sort of psychic awareness (Danger Sense, Sixth Sense, etc).

Alternately, a character who studies from the Bleak Tome can convert to the full-blown Necromancer IF from either Ley Line Walker, Mystic or a MARS spellcaster.

In addition, the Tome includes instructions on the creation of a Phylactery, capable of holding up to the creator's Spiritx3 in spare PPE. Creation of the Phylactery requires the Necromancer Edge or IF.

Finally, the book itself is full of Rituals. For any Power on the SFoNA Necromancer's list, the book permits the caster to use the Horror Companion Ritual rules to alter the Power's stats. These Rituals ALWAYS require the sacrifice of a sapient being. Again, one must have the Necromancer Edge or IF to make use of this portion of the book.

Final Note: If sold (carefully) on the Black Market, the book could easily fetch 10 million credits. This would require a Five-Round Streetwise Dramatic Task at -4 difficulty, with each 'round' taking one week. Every success up to 5 gets 2M Credits; every success beyond that in the five week period gets an additional million. A card is flipped each round; on a Club, the character draws the attention of someone unpleasant and gets attacked--being Incapacitated in the fight (even temporarily) means they skip rolling that week. A critfail while selling the book means the GM gets to laugh, and laugh, and laugh....

On the flip-side, the book is not easily destroyed--it is a malevolent, twisted thing, sanctified by Death itself. You can turn it over to the Legion High Command (who will have "Top Men" study it), or you can keep it for yourselves and try to research how to destroy it during your off-time.

As she skims the book the horror of it grabs her soul such that she must see it destroyed. Echo and Splinter try to burn the book into ash and scatter the ashes.

I doubt SDC flame will affect the book.

Echo would love that armor, a huge upgrade from the armour she just paid 100k for at the beginning of this mission. But I think it is screaming mystic, because she cannot use TW stuff.
