You decide to follow Julianna. After all, there's safety in numbers.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Julianna turns around in surprise."

<Outnumbered> You sign.

"This doesn't concern you, Artya! Only the Special Mission can help us overcome this!" She yells.

<Say again?> You sign. You've heard rumors about some sort of "Special Mission" that the best students were given. In fact, Price mentioned he was offered it before he was transferred to Class Z. Nobody knew what it entailed, though.

"You'll do more good fighting them out here than following me! Please, just go!"

Why is it that, after reading the last thread, I'm picturing Artya carrying a bunch of notes with MEOW and NYAN written on them and randomly throwing them at people?

Ding ding ding. People really need to stop with the metagaming.

>>25611406
why are you metagaming? Artya has no clue, she has literally no reason to follow.

Here, switching to finding squad. Artya has no real good justifiable reason to follow. Im sorry for excess meta.

>>25611479
You're right, my bad, I shouldn't be getting mad. Let's try hat again.

*Ahem*
I feel metagaming here is in poor taste, and I find myself hoping that MercCommand kills off Artya and Juiana to set an example so as to prevent this kind of thinking in the future.

Was that better?

>>25611302
>>She does have a point...
not gonna risk Gasmask being horribly maimed. and Bitchtits is a bit of a bitch

>>25611508
There's a difference between kicking people off table (acceptable, if a bit harsh for a first offense), and being a passive-aggressive cunt that actively tries to kill their, and only their, character for doing so, which is just immature.

>>25611548
STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT

To me, it doesn't matter. In the end, we'll just be separated from her by a bunch of GRA and have no firearms on us.

No, now you're just putting it in politician bullshit.
It's the "I hope the GM kills off a character in some passive-aggressive and childish attempt to "teach people a lesson"." sentiment that makes you come off as a fucking cockmongler.

>>25611567
I tend to give my groups one flat warning about metaknowledge. Don't use it. If they can't, guess who characters get killed off?

>>25611546
Dirk who is a very high end artificial Valkyria and generally the best advice for your first encounter with him in VC2 is: DON'T as he can't be beaten and sticking around to fight him will only result in people getting wounded.

>This much arguing so early in the quest.
This is gonna be a long, long night.

that won't teach people a lesson, and your stupid for thinking it will, let alone advocating it, all it will do it antagonize people towards Merc and make them try harder in the future

>>25611302
>She does have a point...

>>25611302
I'm just going to say this now, but events here are NOT happening in a vacuum.Remember that Julianna's canon appearance during the battle happens at the very end, which means you're going to miss the majority of the main battle... for better or worse. It's POSSIBLE to save Julianna, but, defying canon without serious repurcussions is going to require insane luck.

Judging from where Julianna was headed, you deduce that her objective is the old school ruins, which slightly baffles you, as you figured there would be nothing of serious value there. However, Julianna seems to think its important...

I'LL HELP. YOU'RE UNARMED, RIGHT?

"Well, of course. Students aren't allowed to carry weap-"

You pull out your trusty combat knife from under your skirt.

Wha-? Where-? Ugh, nevermind. Let's go!" Julianna says, getting up to move.

WAIT

I'M THE SCOUT. I"LL LEAD. TO THE SCHOOL RUINS, CORRECT?

"Y-yes." Julianna confirms.

You stop to think of your options. You can cut straight through the main campus, which would be a straight shot and the fastest way to the objective. However, that's also where the fighting is the heaviest, and you're not exactly armed to the teeth.

Or, you could take the long way around and move through the the dorms, which should be empty at this time of day.

>Go through the campus.

We'd need something excessive to take Dirk down otherwise, such as a Buzzbomb, preferribly after taking out the supply APC that powers him.

for board devoted to a brainy hobby, the people here can be so stupid.

>>25611608
>guess who characters get killed off?
So, you punish people in-game for out-of-game actions, rather than confronting them like an adult?
That's just petty. If somebody does it, and you warned them, you talk to them, like a fucking adult, rather than a five year old.

>>25611635
>Go through the dorms.

I'm not defending it, merely saying that your reaction is an overreaction, and you should calm your shit, there are better ways to resolve conflicts like this for all parties involved, without ruining the story and decimating the player base

>>25611635

Could find loot, could find some students who are holed up in their rooms.

>>25611679
First off, he JUST SAID that he wars people out of game, and secondly metagaming is an in-game action, and if you can't understand that then you have problems.

>>25611679
>If somebody does it, and you warned them, you talk to them

>>25611732
how exactly does her death go down?

>>25611745
Funny thing. People tend to think twice when a character they like dies and GM lays out why.

>>25611746
She stands in the middle of the main square with no cover, then kills 2 or so V2s and gets gunned down by Dirk.

>>25611746
We probably need a natural 20 to save her, and which will cause a TIME PARADOX.

>>25611732
Because defeating him is needed to do just that as otherwise he'd likely tear everyone else new holes as loli Valkyria isn't around to fight him off.

>>25611746
IIRC, it's a mix of wound taken from the battle and possibly conversion side effects.

but yeah, I think it's a futile guesture to try to change things, but /tg/'s going to be stupid about things like this.

>>25611635
>Go through the campus.
Time for a sneaking mission.
>>25611714
>Sad part is used to do that. Guess what? Didn't work.
>killed off the group
So you killed EVERY character because one guy metagamed? You are aware that "Talking to them" can easily end in, you know, kicking them out. But apparently you're such a spaghetti-dropping pussy that your only recourse is to go "lolyourcharacterdies", rather than saying "I warned you about metagaming bro, you're out." like a man. I get the feeling your idea of "talking to them" was basically pussyfooting around.

Why wouldn't she not fight him off? Just make sure she isn't fatal at the end. You're making the solution much bigger than it needs to be when it's a win as long as she doesn't die from her injuries at the end of the day.

You decide the dorms are probably the safest place to move through, considering you've got lots of cover and you're certain the GRA hasn't reached them yet. After all, the V2s were heavily armored, but not very fast.

<Follow me.> You sign to Julianna before taking off toward the dorms, your knife gripped tightly in your hand. You glance back at the main campus and can see more smoke and dust rising from there. You hope Matt is okay. You really really hope he's okay.

You reach the first dorm building and stop next to the door. You motion for Julianna to stop.

TAKE COVER. I'LL CHECK IF IT'S CLEAR

With that, you kick the door in.

But it's still more possible than defeating Dirk ourselves. I'm just trying to come up with a solution that we can actually have a chance at pulling off since we already know it's going to be hard as fuck to do.

>>25611950
What's nineteen plus one?

>>25611953
compared to the typical VC player unit? YES. There's a good reason why it required a real Valkyria to actually drop him.

>>25611967
Juliana's tactics in the game were terrible TBH. She didn't use her primary advantage, which was that she didn't need one of those APC things. She should have taken advantage of her superior flexibility to mount a mobile defense rather than try to take them out head on and standing in the middle of the open square.

>>25611902
>Sounds like you get waaay more attached to your characters than my group does
Not particularly, just consider group punishment retarded.
Imagine if you were walking down the street one day, and you saw an armed robbery happen. The police arrest you, and you receive the same sentence as the criminal because you are somehow at fault simply because you witnessed the crime firsthand. Well you were in the area, OBVIOUSLY you are just as guilty as the guy who did it.

>>25611911
You see the barrel of a rifle poke out of the door and your instinct and training take over. You grab the barrel with your right hand and pull, and at the same time strike out with your left hand, striking your assailant in the face and knocking him down to the ground. You then lunge forward with you knife to finish him off.

"Whoa! Whoa! Hold up, Artya! It's me, Soap!"

You stop your knife barely a fraction of an inch from Soap's neck, and he breathes a sigh of relief.

"Soap, what the hell are you doing- Artya! What are you doing here and why the hell aren't you geared up!? We're under attack!"

You hastily try to explain the situation to Price with as few words as possible. Price reads your note, and sees Julianna at the doorway.

"Denied, Artya. We're under attack and I need every able body I can get. Unfortunately, I don't have the authority to order Miss Everheart here to sod off and forget about this stupid Special Mission of hers, but I can start with you. Get back to homeroom and get geared up! That is an ORDER."

I don't think we do, but we should give her the knife regardless. We'll just need her to promise us she'll give it back when she sees us next.

>>25612040
As much as you'd like to get Julianna to where she's going, Price does have a point, and he's also your class chair, which means his words are always the last.

<Affirmative.>

"Good. Get back to homeroom, and if you see any other Class Z on your way, round them up too. At least half the class is still MIA!" Price scowls.

You look at Julianna sadly and hand her your knife. It's not much, but at least it's something for her to defend herself with.

"N-no, I can't take this." Julianna says. "You'll probably need it more than I-"

That's when you pull out your spare knife strapped to your other leg.

You know you have something written in your e-mail field, right?

>>25612231
>Head straight to homeroom. Price is more likely to kill you than the GRA.
If Matt has found homeroom, we will find him doing this, and not the other option.

If Matt has not found homeroom, we will have eliminated one possible area to find him, while better equipping ourselves to help him when we do.

Thus, I vote.

>>25612231
>>Head straight to homeroom. Price is more likely to kill you than the GRA.

I think helping Matt would go best once she's properly geared up.

>>25612327
Yeah, I kind of leave it there for convenience. When MC says to roll, I just need to type in one or two numbers instead of the whole thing.

>>25612379
Yes. And a little annoying at that.

>>25612231
>>Head straight to homeroom. Price is more likely to kill you than the GRA.
Matt's a big boy and can take care of himself. For now.

>>25612379
Not really, no. It makes sense, now that I think about it. But why don't you just ctrl-c it instead?

>>25612464
because there are different numbers of dice to roll.

>>25612464
There's also auto fill to use as well.

>>25612231
You decide to head straight back to homeroom. That's where your gear is and you can check if Matt is there at the same time. If not, you'd at least eliminate one place to have to search.

As you make your way back, you get the feeling something is wrong and you slide into cover. Just as you do, you see two GRA commandos round the corner and stop. Apparently they're here to keep an eye on this sector. Looking at your options, there's no good way to get past them without getting spotted. You're just going to have to risk it.

Now that you think about it. Why doesn't the Gallian military use shotguns?

>>25612497
You sprint for the school store, which should afford you some cover. You hear the GRA commandos yelling and the popping of rifle fire, but by that point you're already safely inside the building. You can then hear both men sprinting after you.

Apply knife to throat. Acquire gun.

>>25612572
Shotgun shells take up a lot more space then regular cartridges. That's a big turn off for a lot of armies, plus the fact that they are a strictly close quarters weapon. Not that they can't be used at 100 meters, they just don't work nearly as well as other weapons.

>>25612623
>>Keep moving.

Don't want to risk flamethrowers (assuming these are in the commando class)

>>25612572
Because contrary to popular belief, shotguns don't make for very practical combat weapons especially against armored targets. The only reason why people still use them is their ability to carry specialized shells like door breachers.

>>25612623
>Ambush them
>Other throw something around you when they're close enough to draw their attention away from you.

>>25612572
Probably the same reason most real world militaries don't use them outside of certain specialized roles.
They're cripplingly overspecialized. A shotgun is devastating withing it's effective range (usually around fifty yards before you start suffering any serious loss of effectiveness, and still lethal out to about a hundred yards in particularly skilled hands), but has a poor rate of fire (with the exception of a few recent models that eat ammo like a fat kid eats cake) and ammo is heavy. A rifle is more versatile, and uses lighter ammo allowing soldiers to fight under more circumstances, for a longer time.

>>25612623
You take a second to hide next to the door, lying in wait for the two GRA soldiers. You wait until you see the barrel of the first man's weapon to poke through the door before you lunge out, knife in hand.

You take out the first man the same way you did with Soap. You grab the barrel of the weapon and force it down while swinging out with your right hand, jamming your knife in the man's throat. The second man tries to bring his gun in line to hit you, but you're already twisted out of the way and into cover.

Then you hear a loud BANG that's inconsistent with the GRA Commando's gun. You look up to see Welkin Gunther, shotgun in hand. He pumps the shotgun to eject the spent shell and fires again to finish off the Commando.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

You nod.

"You're lucky you came here. Me, Alicia, and Welvar have been holding them off, keeping them from getting deeper into the school. Come on, it's not safe out here."

You follow Welkin back into the store, which now looks completely different from when you were here barely half an hour ago. The walls and counters are riddled with bullet holes, and shelves have been knocked over, spilling their contents all over the ground. You also note easily a squad's worth of dead GRA soldiers and even a V2 soldier shot between the eyes. Welkin and Alicia certainly did live up to their reputations.

"Artya! I'm glad to see you're all right!" Alicia comes out from her spot behind the counter to hug you. "Where's Matt?"

<Unknown.>

"Oh, you poor thing!"

"We managed to get some weapons off them." Welkin says, handing you a rifle with some ammo. "It's not much, but it should be enough to get you to your homeroom."

WHAT ABOUT YOU? You ask worriedly.

"Ha, I've seen worse when I was in Squad 7." Welkin grins. "Don't worry about us. We'll hold them off as long as we can and fall back."

"Good luck, and I hope you find Matt!" Alicia says, handing you a couple of grenades.

<Thank you> You sign before moving on.

As you make your way through the hallways, you hear rifle fire, though not aimed at you. You move forward carefully and see Magari. She's already geared up and using her rifle to check the advance of a couple of GRA soldiers. She seems to be doing pretty well, and you're in a hurry, but an ally could always use some help...

Our ability to help out our teammates is hampered by not having a gun. Magari's got this sector secured, let's move to get ourselves geared as well.

Otherwise, we can pick up a rifle from one of our dead classmates and help her.

The moment you enter your homeroom, you can immediately see several members from Class Z, as well as a number of students and staff from other classes, though most of them are wounded.

"Artya! Artya, over here!" You hear a voice yell. You turn to see Mac waving at you, with Ashely standing next to him...

..and Matt!

You rush over but you notice something's wrong.

"Yeah, I got hit with some debris during the initial attack." Matt grins, trying to put up a strong front and points to the bandage on his forehead. "Still a bit dizzy, but I can still fight."

"Your team's all here? Good." You see Novak approach you. "We're starting to get a better picture of what's gong on. The GRA troops here don't seem to be trying to occupy the school, but they're looking for something. They're spreading out along the entire campus, which means this is our chance to take them out piecemeal. Price's team is busy trying to check their advance, which is where your team comes in."

Novak then sets down several hastily drawn battle plans on the desk.

There's three objectives that must be accomplished if we're to save this school. I have other teams ready to go, but I'm giving you the first pick.

You and the rest of your team (and Magari) go over the three missions Novak has offered you.

>Engage GRA forces and attempt to draw them away from the main battle.
>Find and destroy the Supply Vehicles powering the V2s.
>Liberate the motor pool so the other classes can mobilize their armor.

>>Liberate the motor pool so the other classes can mobilize their armor.

>>25614062
>>Find and destroy the Supply Vehicles powering the V2s.

This would go a long way in general towards the other things as without those Vehicles, they only have their physical shields to defend themselves from just bullets (though a good marksperson would nail them in the head)

>>25614062
>>Find and destroy the Supply Vehicles powering the V2s.
This first, then:
>Liberate the motor pool so the other classes can mobilize their armor.

>>25614062
>Find and destroy the Supply Vehicles powering the V2s.
This makes best use of our high mobility "sneaky as fuck" approach. We're guerilla fighting experts, we should take the mission that plays to that.

>Liberate the motor pool so the other classes can mobilize their armor.

Even with armor we know what happens if we leave those V2s around for too long.

>>25614062
>Find and destroy the Supply Vehicles powering the V2s

>>25614115
Is that a rifle based on the Luger P08's toggle-locked short-recoil action?

It should also be noted that it doesn't take alot to destroy a supply APC, even shocktroopers could do it with a good spray to the radiator.

My reasoning of liberating the motor pool is the access of vehicles such as jeeps, APC and motorcycles so we can get around campus quicker as well as take out the regular infantry.
