Hey friends, I'm Dragon.


Long story short we're about to make a big push on the iron line and need new recruts. So this is a bootcamp

Also i miiiiiiiiiiight have pissed off our CO and your training involves killing me. Don't worry I wont take offence


Pick a class, the hearts are how much damage you can take, act is number off attack you can do and move is how many hexes you move per turn.

You can run to double your move but you'll lose your actions.

That's it, see ya out there and lets have a nice exectution shal we?

you guys suck im out of here...

i would have played along too...

Kind of off topic and I apologize for that but was there an end to Zombie Quest that wasn't archived on sup/tg/?

Sword and Shield, ready to serve.

Comm adjusted.

>>13797301
Oh right, and that numer is what you need to roll under to connect an attack.
R is range, some guns have ammo

Reload doesn't take an action, you just can't use the weapon for a round. So you can still run or jump or punch people


...not sure why i'm helping you kill me

>>13797293

oh uh. . .how do you work these things?

oh there we go

What about the -2 Ability the swordsman has? How do you roll under that?

New Recruits:

[M1]Djierks

Use noko so you don't lose the thread! You can roll and use noko at the same time by doing this:

noko+dice+Xd10

X being the number of dice you are using.

>>13797367

Well, keep in mind that you're not barred from retaliating. Gotta keep things challenging, right?

Just try not to kill too many of them.

Oh damit. Sir My name is Murray Gravestone, My class is R, Rifleman.

>>13797380
Well that's your shield. When you put it up (takes an action and you pick a direction) anything that tries to attack you has a -2 to hit you. It's refered to as "cover"

rolled 3 = 3

Comms Ajusted Sir. Ready to protect the others. Though I wouldn't mind seeing a medic.

>>13797435

Hah. No.

>>13797435
Nah, you only have one shield

there is something else i hadn't thought about mentioning though

overwatch.

sometimes you just don't have anyone to kill, so you save an action for later.

Pick a direction, pick an attack, if an opponent gets in range during its turn you attack and most likely kill it. Keep in mind though highest move goes first.

you don't HAVE to roll for overwatch (OC usualy does it) but you can, i know I do

Who needs edges and cliffs? Throw them into other people. If they shoot rockets at you, throw them back! Thing's no rifle or sword, but it's got utility beyond shooting and stabbing things. Use it to throw one of your knight buddies closer to the enemy, or pull a wounded soldier to safety. Use your imagination.

>>13797533

For [TA]'s and those that have yet to read the Janice Bible:

An excerpt from the "How to [TA] page:"

> TAs have one action each action phase.
> TAs are in PsiComm not the real world, and as such have no hearts or movement, instead having battlefield control.
> TAs do not have access to normal the abilities and actions of soldiers.
TA’s abilities are divided into two groups: remote manipulation of allied and enemy PsiComm, and electronic manipulation of the battlefield

PsiComm manipulation is covered in the PsiComm Visual Codex and will not be repeated here.

> SCAN:
TA’s do a passive scan on the battlefield. These scans can be on a field element (such as an item, structure, ally, or enemy) or on the field to search for something (scanning for civilians, fuel-powered cars, fortified positions). There is no roll for scans.

> ANALYZE:
the TA can literally change the battlefield by assigning characteristics to field elements (such as a weak spot in structure, explosive fuel in a car, or spare ammo on an enemy corpse) by analyzing them. This requires a 1d10 roll, with the rating being adjusted by scans that support or refute the proposed characteristics, and with the likelihood of the characteristic existing.

> AID:
TAs can help allied soldiers on the field by marking targets or spotting for them. First a TA must either scan the target (read: enemy) or the ally in question, and then with that data, they can AID, provide a +1 to all ratings against a target, or +1 to all ratings for an ally. The bonuses from these actions last until the beginning the next action phase. There is no roll for aiding.

> > >

>>13800122

> MANIPULATE:
TAs, via PsiComm can access any electronic system that has a network connection, or “node”. In the world of ZeroSpace this includes most cars, buildings, and daily equipment people use. Also, with the successful cracking of any enemy PsiComm node, or a closed system a Forward Observer has plugged into, you can control enemy soldiers and assets. This requires a roll, with most civilian systems having high ratings (like rating 7), while enemy systems having a very low rating (like rating 2).

> EXCUTE:
TAs are constantly planning and preparing for the next battle. Execute represents the culmination of one of these large-scale projects. It of course depends on the location of the battle, but it is similar to a CO’s support menu and in some ways more powerful. Examples include: large-scale manipulation of the water utilities to flood parts of a city, calling in allied artillery, nudging orbiting asteroids and satellites into kinetic bombardment, and city-wide blackouts. Due to the power of this action, it can be only used once per combat, and may have to be rolled for for effect.

ENEMY PHASE.

Are you guys blind or something?

>>13800174
Nah, just didn't want to say anything.
I'm assuming I'm the one next to [R1] who hasn't moved for the past two turns.
I meant to over watch for enemies that come within range, and to push them away once they do.

>>13800193
Maybe someone should have said something.

Now everyone who didn't run is going to die.

>>13800193
Please speak up in the future. Remember I'm here to observe, not hold you hands. If one of you guys have an idea, share it with the others. Maybe make some plans.

I just sit in the tower and yell at you, maybe shoot at you if you don't do anything for too long.

No hard feelings guys, really. Besides, cremation is way less painfull then being eaten by those bugs. I should know that's how i died the first time.

Hacking the tank south of dragon.

Lets see if I can do something with this.

If I can I'm rolling it towards dragon.

>>13800269

Alright AxeBeard. Now that you are the sole survivor- You have two choices.

Hey give credit where credit is due. Judanas did his *explative* and so did Djierks, Hell the Rs got kills too. That's alot of *explative* roaches and i'm the mother *explative* Dragon and shit"

Alright, which one of you dead guys are a bad enough dude to get faxed in through the transcription node.

[just got hacked]

rolled 10 = 10

Feeling like a bad enough dude to rescue the hive entrances from not being exploded.

>>13800406

I am.

>>13800406

I'll redeploy

rolled 1, 10 = 11

"Well. This went south fast."

>MOVE 5 SOUTH.
>OVERWATCH SOUTH-WEST.

rolled 6 = 6

Hacking giant colossus.

Wait, which one is the Dragon? And what are those foot prints?

You've just hacked a transcription node!

This works similar to a Star Trek teleporter! The device scans your every atom, saves it as a .jpg, kills the original, and then sends the copy to another transcription node!

Perhaps you could make additional clones with this device?

>>13800460
If I can't hack the colossus instead make it an ANALYZE DRAGON roll.

Looking at the cooked corpses Wolf sighed to himself, before turning to Axebeard.

"I advise to armour up."

rolled 2 = 2

Sorry to be a bother but did I manage to hack the tank?

Enemy Phase

3 badass dudes step in through the transcription nodes.
this mission still has some bugs to kill,

a dragon to fight.

OKAY LADIES
BLOW THE FUCK OUT OF THE BUGS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP
I'LL GRAB A TANK
THEN WE FUCK THE DRAGON

>>13800605
"Sound like a plan, axe man. Lets cover him guys. Grey, lets do this man, I bet all have more kills by mission's end."

The bridge serves as both a choke point for the area to the West, a high ground to North and South, and even has a fallback position to the East!

rolled 2 = 2

>>13800605

*a little nauseated fro transcription*

S-SER-YESH-SER!!!!!

>>13800605
Err, requesting permission to explode the previous me that is still on the bridge, hopefully setting off the other bomb and thus creating twice as many explosions.

rolled 5 = 5

I'll rotate the turret and blast a bug with the main gun.

m-movin' out. . .

>>13800771
Living forever is as easy as being a clone!

Simply expose yourself to a minor genetic mutation every other 'life', and the Mother AI that controls clone repopulation will recognize you as an entirely different clone, thus enabling you to get an additional redeployment!

NOW YOU TOO CAN LIVE FOREVER! (With 11 toes and two spleens).

Crap, sorry. Got to go. Sorry

>>13800824

Stupid newfangled equipment.

When squads are formed it is normally up to the one in charge- or one with enough initiative to bot players for them.

COME BACK NEXT TIME !

Enemy Phase.

When The need to sleep grips your team.
It is advised that you fall back on a secure location.
And set up camp.

"Haha. Sorry, Ghost. Wait. What is Domino doing here?"

Protip: Always ensure that you kill ALL of your enemies before moving on.

>>13800950
"He's playing a game on some handheld game system, of course."

"I just shot a fricking rocket over his head! This is no place to play!"

"WHAT? SAY AGAIN, WOLF?!?"

Walker zooms his tactical display on the figure, confirming that it really is Domino.

"DRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGONNNNNNNNNNN!"

The Colonel, via PsiComm, activates Dragon's suit flares.

"GODDAMNIT DRAGON I'M GOING TO BREAK YOUR LEGS AGAIN IF YOU KEEP THIS SHIT UP! DAMNIT DRAGON!"

GOOD JOB, SOLDIER.

THAT'S JUST WHAT THIS UNIT NEEDS

BRAVADO AND BADASSERY.

THERE IS NO GREATER WAY TO GO OUT THAN SCREAMING AT YOU ENEMY.

AND HUMILIATING HIM.

what does it mean by reclaim deployment points?

points spent on deploying clones.
it will go back to the pot and and can be reisdpenced next time you deploy here.

"Rookies, I highly suggest moving to the Command Room and barricading yourself there for the night."

"And yes, this is part of the exercise; learning to survive in a hostile environment when not in immediate combat."

It has now been passed 20 minutes with no activity.
The mission has been suspended.

Recruitment Team 01
has withrdawn to the control room for the night.

3/5 Obstacles Crossed.

Rating- Survivable !

Mission will now go in suspension and resume again indefinitely in 5 .... 4 ..... 3... 2..

All in all, I think you rookies did pretty well for your first mission. Much better than that last group, who outnumbered you 2:1 and failed miserably.

The only part where you stumbled was when you allowed your Knight to get overrun. Communication is vital to survival - and you need to cover each other to ensure that one member who falls doesn't result in near annihilation of the rest of the unit (eg Knights).

The damage done by Dragon was unforseeable in your situation, although I would have figured that you would have been able to strike first.

All in all, good job, you all show promise. Now try to get some sleep while your position is "shelled" and get ready to head out before dawn.

>You guys would probably do really well with a decent [TA] to organize/guide you, not that the current [TA]s were particularly bad. Remember, communication is vital, along with initiative.

rolled 1 = 1

>>13801162

Back. Next time with some luck I might have an ally to guard with. A think a second knight would increased survivability against the bugs exponentionaly.

>>13801203

Yes. A simple Knight line is practically critical to the success of any mission against the bugs.

Stick a group of Riflemen/Anti-Armor/Mobile Demo/Scout Snipers behind them, and maybe toss in a medic, and they're practically invincible.

rolled 7 = 7

>>13801212

Oh well, next time.

>>13801243

Yes, next time. OC, when's the next part of the game going to be?

>>13801252

Well I can safely say my sunday is taken up.
So SUnday afternoon-night might be my only window withouth incurring a Thursday card.

New people are still welcome !
