You’d seen them before of course, they were Koko’s guards. You’d just never talked to them before or interacted on more than a trading manner. There were eleven of them, with eight of them being guys and only two female fighters besides Koko. Those two however, Chiquita and Valmet, seemed to be the scariest as you’d watched them knife fight before you left…you’d be dead in seconds if you let them get close and you saw how fast they were. You’re glad they’re on your side.

The other eight were seemingly nothing special…but you could tell they were all at least competent if not much better than their relaxed attitude seemed to indicate. Cath, Morrigan and Nem seemed to respect them at least. One was even younger than you, a pale haired little boy with eyes that…well reminded you of yours a little bit. He’d seen things you could relate to. You’d nodded at each other when you left.

You were currently laid out in a box formation around to large wagons filled with goods Koko had brought, three members of MMS down each side with three of Koko’s guards riding in front and behind as well. With twelve people on guard that left two in each wagon, one driving and one alert plus Koko, who was riding in the lead wagon and had spent most of the time on the ride talking to various people loudly, including Morrigan.

“We should do this more!” you hear Koko say to Morrigan, her big fake smile always plastered on her face, “You never come around anymore Morrigan.”

“There’s a reason for that,” grumbles Morrigan, cigarette dangling from her lips even as she rides along.

“So harsh,” says Koko, still play acting, “Even after I opened up the good stocks to you.”

Koko had indeed opened up the good stocks to you, showing you some weapons and armor that you’d never even seen before. Having a total of $725 dollars to spend you’d gotten…

>A new rifle. ($250, +1 on Firearms rolls.)
>A new set of armor. ($500, +4 wounds, maintain phys 2 to wear.)
>Both. (Cost $750 dollars.)

It's expensive, but we're going to get longterm value out of them as far as I can tell.

And we're currently on a well paying job, so we don't have to worry about having enough money for ammo and blankets after the mission.

>>39406749
You have $25 more than what it costs, selling the other stuff isn't something I'd planned on doing automatically. Though you'd make $150 from it, leaving you at $175.

Alright, looks like both wins by a landslide, leaving you with $25 + $250 at the end of the mission with the Tier one equipment providing an additional $150 if sold later.

You’d grabbed both new, better fitting armor and a better rifle, replacing your slightly older and more worn one with a newer one. It wasn’t exceptionally better in any way, but it had seen less wear and tear and its parts were in better shape. That had happened for nearly everyone else as well; they’d been either saving up just as long as you or longer and had taken the opportunity to upgrade as well.

Everyone but Sarah had upgraded to a better set of armor, leaving her as the only one with the older (Tier 1) type of armor. Everyone else had the new kind (Tier 2). Morrigan had grabbed a new rifle like you (Tier 2), Cath and Bellona had both grabbed better LMG’s (Tier 2), Nem had grabbed a better shotgun (Tier 2), and Sarah had decided to fix up her old sniper rifle (Tier 2) as well as grabbing an SMG (Tier 1) since you were likely going to be inside and you can’t swing a sniper rifle around so well in tight corridors.

Besides your weapon and armor, you carried your normal ammo belt, pistol and knife combo as well as both medkit’s, food, toolkit and a double set of ammo. The only reason you didn’t have a blanket was because Koko had let everyone use some from her stock while you were on your trip. You liked her for that at least, even if she weirded you out a little bit.

You were getting closer to Salina’s know, only an hour or two away as the sun rose towards its height, having broken camp at dawn so that you could get there ahead of the main group from Mars.

“So, Morrigan,” asks Koko, her voice suddenly getting more serious, “Which direction should we approach from?”

“Why’re you asking me?” says Morrigan, looking over at Koko from where she’s riding her horse.

“You scouted it,” says Koko, looking ahead to where Salinas should be, “So you know the area better. While from the east is out of the question, we could easily approach them from the North, South or West if we made a small change in our path.”

“Hmm…” says Morrigan, “Maybe…”

>The north, closer to their armory.
>The west, closer to the hospital which seemed like some kind of residential structure.
>The south, closer to their HQ and training grounds.

>>39407344
In the world of merchandise, just like on the battlefield, one must be prepared to die at any moment. By denying them access to their armory we force them to buy our bullets, by blocking their hospital they are forced to buy our bandages and blankets, by going to their HQ we become true Americans by having money run their lives.

“We should probably stick to just straight from the west,” says Morrigan pointing straight ahead, “North and south are their armory and HQ respectively and they’ll probably be a bit twitchy if we come from there. West is a straight shot to the hospital which seemed like some sort of residential/prison thing they had going. Probably the best bet.”

“Hmm…” says Koko, apparently thinking until she glances down at the older man next to her on the wagon, the one who seems to be the leader for her guards, “Lem?”

“Can’t see how that’s a bad idea Koko,” he says to her without looking up, a nice looking rifle with a scope decorating his side, “I’d really prefer not to get shot, especially before we get there in the first place.”

“You’re such a baby Lem,” says the woman next to him.

Lem just chuckles and shakes his head.

“Fine fine,” says Koko waving her hand about, “We shall approach from the west then, forward!” she points her hand as if that will make everything go faster, getting a chuckle from a few of her people.

It’s roughly an hour and a half later that you spot the outskirts of Salina and few minutes after that that you are spotted by a patrol. Since you weren’t trying to hide and there were quite a few more of you than last time, you guess that’s not unexpected.

“Halt!” says the leader of the patrol, a slightly older and more grizzled looking man who seems to at least know which way his gun goes. You see one of the other guards looking about and picking his nose.

“What are you doing here?” he demands from you, most of the roughly ten man patrol at least looking in your direction, “What do you want?”

You see Morrigan and Koko glance at each other.

I've manage to roll 20's in here before. So I actually kind of expected it.

>>39408077
Why the fuck would you trust in the piece of shit seed generator that tries to claim its random when its anything but?

It's entirely based on time, post number, post rate, and also anything in the namefield influences it aswell.

It's one of the worst 'random' dice generators around.

>>39408023
I still haven't seen any evidence that there's any truth to that. Even if /tg/ dice are based on the clock, it would be trivial to hash it to something essentially random. Unless you can tell me what the algorithm actually is, I can only assume you're talking out your rear end.

>>39408177
Go read the archives then, there are many threads /tg/ has made over the years, including the statistical analysis of a QM's namefield and trip influencing his rolls to be 20% below average.

You see Morrigan tilt her head just slightly towards the guard, apparently signaling Koko to go ahead.

“I am Koko Hekmatyar, traveling arms dealer extraordinaire!” she says standing upright on her wagon and smiling down at the guard, “I come bearing many wears for sale, of great quality and price. I wish to enter your fine town so we can do business, I’m sure I have something for everyone, even some clothes and such for your civilians.”

As she finishes her speech, the leader of the group frowns at her, but is distracted when one of his men leans forwards and whispers in his ear. He frowns even more at that, but seems to agree with whatever the man said.

“Fine,” he replies to Koko as he signals his men, “You can enter Salina to sell your wares. But we’re going to be with you the entire time; we have more men around as well so don’t try any funny business.”

“Of course not,” says Koko with her trademark smile, “We’re but simple merchants looking to make a living in these troubling times.”

The leader frowns again, but gestures you forward anyway. His dozen men surround your group, leading you nearly straight to the hospital. You’re eventually led to a small flat blacktop area near the hospital that has been cleared sometime in the past. Here you all dismount, a crowd of people having gathered about as you entered town. Koko’s people begin to all set up shop, two large tables being set up and supplies and weapons pulled off the wagon and placed behind them while Morrigan gestures at you to come over.
“Billy,” she says as the others are already on their way to various spots around the camp and perimeter, mostly near your still unfriendly looking guards, “I want you to…”

Go learn what you're talking about first. Plenty of PRNG algorithms are intended to take in consecutive numbers and spit out pseudo-random numbers. It's frequently used for parallel programming; they're not as theoretically neat, but still come extremely close to randomness.

I like how Guide handles failures. It's not just "you fucked up, the end", there's variety in it, its not always a characters fault but instead its a problem with circumstance or timing.

“I want you to guard the supplies,” says Morrigan, looking between Koko’s people, most of whom are facing forwards as the crowd around you begins to build and build, getting quite large as word apparently spreads around the town that someone is here to sell, to where the others of MMS are split into two groups patrolling around the perimeter, “There shouldn’t be any trouble, but watch out and call for help if you need any.”

“Ok,” you reply to her, trotting to the back of the lot where the supplies have been piled up relatively high, leaving you slightly alone as the crowd in front of the table clamors for help, Koko and her crew doing a great job at selling things and creating quite the commotion.

You’re there for nearly half an hour before you see someone come around from the corner of the building in front of you.

It’s a woman, one dressed in a slightly tight looking outfit that you can’t really place, it doesn’t look like something you’ve seen around very much, meaning you don’t know what she does or why she’s there behind the supplies with you.

“Psst…” she whispers at you, motioning towards you with a finger, obviously intending for you to go around the corner with her, “Come here soldier boy, I have something I want to show you.” You can see her leg is stuck around the corner for some reason, her skirt pulled high and exposing a lot of her leg. Not very practical at all.

I'm pretty sure we have a permanent thousand yard stare.....Except when we're drunk.....Which rarely happens...

It has happened once. And it took 9 brave men to do so, along with our co-workers moral support.

>>39409465
Poor sods.....Did they die of to much alcohol?

>>39409465
Their sacrifice was not in vain. They achieved a feat that none had done before.

>>39409488
No but they passed out, lost 50 dollars, and had to admit that a kid drank them under the table, also hangovers from hell.

>>39409504
You know a hangover sucks when you resort to barging in on your bookkeeper in the shower just to get a drink of water.

>>39409014

You look at the lady, who seems to be wiggling her leg a little bit. She must have an itch or something. You shake your head no at her, Morrigan said to stay where you are and guard the supplies, not wander off with random ladies. She also said that you should call for help if you needed it, but the lady doesn’t seem to be doing anything you need help for, at least not yet.

“Are you sure?” she asks, her tone sounding hopeful as her skirt is pulled higher and higher, “I can show you something you’ll really like~”

You shake your head no again, wondering how the lady could know what you like. Besides MMS and the people in it the only thing you really like are blankets and food and…well you like a few things, but she couldn’t know what they are. You shift yourself so that you can raise your rifle more readily in her direction.

When you do that you hear her sigh and something drifts towards your ears, “only caravan guard not interested…”

She disappears back around the corner briefly, then she comes back around with her hands up in the air.

“I really need to show you something,” she says, her hands in a nonthreatening gesture, “I think you’ll be very very interested in what it is.”

You shift again, raising your rifle as she takes another few steps closer to you, unsure as to what she wants.

“Damnit kid…” she says, looking about her voice now low, “Can you at least listen to me here, I think we can help each other out here.”

You frown and…

No unfortunately he does do overriding crits, to the detriment of the quest. I really wish he didn't, we have enough trouble rolling above average regularly without having everything invalidated and utterly fucked over by a 27% chance to get a 1.

>>39409842
Not so much its a crit. But it is a failure.

>>39409864
Why are we even rolling? We called for Morrigan.

>>39409889
Probably to not get stabbed before she gets here.

All because of retarded overriding crits.

Call it what you want, but when it overides and invalidates every other roll its a crit.

You keep your rifle pointed at the lady, who doesn’t seem to be doing anything dangerous…but you don’t like how she’s just looking at you while you have your rifle on her. Normally people get at least a little bit nervous when a rifle is pointed at them, but she’s…eerily calm.

You decide you need to call Morrigan over, she’ll know what to do.

“Morrigan!” you call, turning your head just slightly, to which the lady suddenly lowers her hands and leaps backwards causing you to jerk your rifle towards her…but she somehow disappears around the corner quicker than you can get a bead on her. You see her dart around the other side of the building and then presumably down the street, headed away from you at a fast pace.

Morrigan arrives a few seconds later, having jogged over to where you were since you only called out once.

“Billy what happened?” she asks, finding you with your weapon up and finger on the trigger.

“A lady came…” you say, keeping your weapon up for a while more before lowering it, “She kept asking me to come around the corner then she said she wanted to talk…she ran away when I called for you.”


Morrigan looks down the small alley where she disappeared, her weapon leading the way.

>>39409823
The dice gods are just hating on Will, besides Will has always had Heaven or He'll luck.

>>39410142
“Well she’s gone now,” says Morrigan, coming back to stand with you, “I’ll stay here for a bit, they seem to have everything under control at the moment up front.”

You nod, Morrigan settling in next to you as the crowd out front continues to make a ruckus. You’re there for over an hour, Morrigan staying with you when you suddenly hear the loud sound of automatic rifle fire coming from the north.

“Billy, come on!” says Morrigan, pulling you around the corner where you see most of the crowd still standing in front of the tables until another long burst sounds out from the south.

Mars has apparently arrived.

As the sounds of gunfire start to intensify, the people around start scattering and running in various directions, some of them screaming as they do so. Your guards however are still at their posts, the leader turning to say something to Koko from where he is.

You see Koko signal to…

>Remain steady.
>Open fire.
>Other.

>>39409958
I would just like to say I don't really have a problem with Guide's crit system. Sure we auto-fail some rolls, but it's not like he isn't forgiving when we fail. And often when we fail, new doors open up.

>Proceed to cast blankets on everything

>>39410341

How can you be sure? She could've easily led us into a trap of some kind. No way to tell.

>>39410341
How can you be so sure that was going to happen? Besides, the roll seemed to be whether or not Morrigan was gonna catch up or not. The rest of the players decided to not listen to her so if you're mad, get mad at them.

>>39410367
doesn't help much in combat when a bullshit 1 will get us or a friend killed.

>>39410376
yeah, a 1 would have totally completely negated that wouldn't it? don't be stupid anon

Looks like remain steady is the winner.

>>39410391
We've rolled 1s in combat before and nothing bad has happened to us because teamwork with squad. They've rolled 1s and we've pulled their asses from the fire too. Relax butthurt anon. ! is an auto-failure not auto death.

>>39410391
I say if you cant handle crits dont use a d20 or anything smaller. Crits are a big deal in most D20 systems for a reason, cause they can be pretty fucking awesome.

People are going to whine about the rolls regardless, but I can think of worse than d20 with crit favor.

it seems their are non-believers in the church of guide.

>>39410427
>and nothing bad has happened to us
Thats complete bullshit.

>>39410435
Would that I were the one using the system.

>>39410436
Nah, just someone who really seems to hate d20 for some reason.

>>39410443
No it isn't. We did not die or lose anything in combat of a 1. Read the archives again.

>>39410367
The mother of the farm girl also died from a crit, so yeah.

>>39410467
from what i read it seems he think guide will fuck us over hard with no lube just because of a 1.

>>39410466
Man, you need to chill.

I played a game with a few friends that was d10 crit favor.

THAT was hell.

d20 with crits really isn't all that bad.

It's only "bad" when you have a pool that you choose from because it triples the chance of crits, and even then it isn't actually that bad.

>>39410470
>tries to argue nothing bad has happened because of a 1
>hurr durr we didn't die so nothing bad happened

anon shitloads of bad happened that we were only spared from because of our squadmates, if you don't consider that we needed to rely on them to save our ass as bad let alone what would have happened if they were not there then you are retarded.

also that woman who came into MMS died because a 1 made us have a stroke and stand there like a dead fish so no, you go read the archives

>>39410443
Did we fuck up a few times? Yes. Did anyone die? One person and it wasn't entirely our fault. Did we manage to get more high rolls than low? Of course we did. Quit accentuating the negative and you might have a much better experience.

>>39410492
Eh, not to sound callous or anything (or edgy, fuck off!) but that was probably the most inconsequential thing that could have happened and we crit failed it.

Meanwhile we critfail other times and nothing too bad happens. Eh.

Do we need to have a talk about the dice mid thread?

>>39410509
>It's only "bad" when you have a pool that you choose from because it triples the chance of crits, and even then it isn't actually that bad.
That's what overriding crits do in best of 3 D20 that we use. It's a 27% chance to get a 1 IIRC.

>>39410518
>and it wasn't entirely our fault
We stood there and did nothing, you have no ground to stand on anon.

No. Fuck off and take your circlejerk with you.

>>39410561
Too late. Bump limit reached. The dice troll won guys.

>>39410540
Wait, I'm not good at math, wouldn't a 1/20 by 3 equal out to being something like a 19% chance? Because on a single roll it's a 5% chance, and multiplying the chance by 3 isn't the actual correct way to do it and the odds increase slightly on their own from multiple rolls.

I'm REALLY bad at math

>>39410579
>>Says we automatically lose someone on a 1

>>39410642
Nowhere there does it say it will automatically get someone killed anon, try not being so literal and you might understand basic comprehension.

>>39410634
I don't mind failures, but overriding crits in D20 systems are stupidly crit heavy systems for little reason.

>>39410634
You do realize there's a ~14%-ish chance of autofail, right? While it tends to get brought up when 1s are rolled, it's still beyond me why so many QMs think best-of-3d20 are reasonable. It's stupidly biased towards either very high rolls, or the occasional auto/crit-fail.

>>39410704
You don't understand English, do you? That's exactly what it says.

>a one will get us killed

>>39410725
I like it because although we have a 19~27 % Chance to roll a 1 we have a higher chance to roll a 20 because Guide uses 20s override 1s.

>>39410704
>a bullshit 1 will get us or a friend killed.
Learn to English better then anon. Your writing needs work.

>>39410605
Pretty sure it's actually 1-(19/20)^3=0.142625 or a 14.2625% chance to get at least one natural 1 out of three rolls. Of course, this doesn't take into account 20s cancelling out or overriding.

Koko is signaling to remain steady, so you keep your weapon down, though you can tell that Morrigan is slightly upset that she has to wait.

You can’t quite hear what the man is saying, but he’s gesturing towards the hospital and you see Koko nodding in agreement. She gestures in the “gather round” motion, signaling everyone to come closer, which you do as does everyone else from MMS.

“Our lovely protectors think that we should get inside for our own protection,” she says sweetly, “So we should go with them now.”

The guards circle around you once again, leading you towards the main entrance of the hospital, where you’re met by an additional guard of six, the eight man patrol you saw on your scouting mission down the street.

As you reach the entrance to the hospital they hold you up, two of the usual guards raising their hands.

“We need your weapons before you can enter,” says the lead one, clearly focused more on the approaching gunfire than your supposed identity as “Merchants.”

A glance behind you shows that your guards are in a semi-circle around the hospital, their backs to you as Morrigan looks at Koko and Koko makes the hand signal to…
