Although it's billed as a Skirmish this game is a full on TTRPG. Character creation is time consuming but rewarding. Train yourself and figure out your abilities by trading in your Merit Point for certain abilities. You raise Stats, or acquire PRQs with them.

To get in quickly. There are premade loadouts to use here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uRMvILWgQcC_R96y6GH7uUTRKu4DOMtjkt9DrbOL7nA/edit

Pick Fencers for decent tanking, Gunslinger/Brawler for DPS, or try your hands at keeping your fellow handymen alive as a Medic. If you try to make your own character, and I invite you to, there's a basic template to follow below

Several Updates incoming:

-HEX MOVEMENT: I originally planned for Gyrocite to work with a hex grid instead. A compass will be provided to make movement easier to follow. In most games like these 1-6 are used to indicate movement with 1 being the north of the shape and the rest of the numbers following clockwise.

-Competence has a cap of (Total stats)*10%. Certain skills ignore the hard cap. Competence works differently for skill checks now. The % bonus affects the attribute used to roll.

-A few added PRTs including mission specific ones

-Medic PRTs have been reworked: AP costs have been reduced while all EN costs are eliminated

-New Field Kit:
Lily Vitamer Med Pack: SP 3/3 2EQ (Ꞥ4500)
[*Compact] Item is small enough to not be noticeable
[*Hands free] item is always equipped

-New classes unlocked: {Closer} and {Inspector}. New players may choose one of these classes for free. Details on the two classes below:

Agreements and contracts are how anything is done in Capitus. With no common law to speak of, terms and conditions are the oil that lubricates the machine that is the state. When deals and agreements cannot happen {Closers} are called to “close” the deal. Whether by sabotage or blackmail, honey pots or sweeteners, {Closers} find a way to make the machine keep on moving.

{Closer} +2 to social rolls.+1 Closer PRT

{Closers} manipulate social situations to their favor by expending affection. They can gain “affection” (abbr. AF) by making other people attracted by them from [Flirting] and other means.
===[*Close] “Closing” a deal gains rewards. A “Deal” may refer to specific objectives, personal endeavors, or other ventures.
===[Adoration] spend AF for +10% competence for a single action up to 2*MER a turn.
===[Too pretty to hit] Charmed targets do AF*10% less damage to you for every AF they have earned.. (A target that has given you 3 AF does 30% less damage to you.) Up to MER/2
===[Flirt] 3ap 2d12+MER vs. Flirt with a target to {Charm} them. Charmed targets are denoted with AF. The number of AF is determined by the degrees of success.
===[A Sight for Sore Eyes] 1d12+MER vs. Passively {Charm} targets that can see you. Gain AF by the degrees of success.
===[Epicene Beauty] Look appealing to many. People who would normally not be attracted to you are likely to be.
===[Tease] 4AP spend AF to “lure” a target somewhere. Spend 1 AF per tile.
===[Positional Negotiations]5AF 8AP 2d12+MER vs. Compel a target to do what you want.
===[Blackmail] 3AP 2d12+MER Hit 16; Use your vast social network to find dirt on your target. May need to spend AF or Ꞥ to act on that information.

{Inspector} Observing is more effective; gain [*Sleuth]; +1 Inspector PRT

As an inspector you are able to gain insight and do your work with “Evidence” (abbr. EV). Gain EV by [Observe] actions and other means. Once enough EV is collected you may use your abilities. {Inspectors} may carry up to MER*5 EV.

===[*Sleuth] Earn “evidence” by revealing information via observing. You may also interrogate and interview targets for information if they are subdued or are willing.
===[#Cartographic impetus] Gain evidence by revealing the FoW; every 5 tiles revealed is 1 EV.
===[Weapons Training] +3 Gun PRTs
===[The back way] 12EV; find an alternate route on a map, secrets, or other boons.
===[Local motives] 6EV; spend evidence to reveal enemy movement
===[#Gut Feeling] be aware of danger and notice suspicious people
===[Warrant] 10EV 8AP; spend evidence to mark a target for apprehension. All allies gain 50% competence to apprehending the target.
===[#Arrest] targets are apprehended instead of killed when dealt enough damage. Targets may be arrested if they are subdued by other means.
===[^Service Weapon] 4 EQ; get a heavily customised pistol
===[%Hit the Deck] 4EV; you have a 6th sense to danger; if you have enough evidence you will automatically move yourself and nearby allies away from danger.
===[▲Beat Cop] work on the beat solving street crimes. Gain rewards from solving cases.

This is why I've been so busy. That and LIFE.

[Plot Phase] If you'd prefer to ignore the damn plot and get right on the action just reply to the post after the last green paragraph.

>One Day Earlier....

Crusher’s team cordoned off parts of the park and attempted to dispose of the constitutionalists’ bodies. Before they were able to do so Capital Constabulary, the national police force, had taken the bodies into their custody. The crew found it odd they weren’t questioned but instead quickly shuffled away. The crew made it to the warehouse without event. Gerald and Samantha arrived at the same time. Samantha had only recently learned what happened to her brother and was nearly in tears.

Samantha: Gerald. What happened! You were supposed to protect my brother.

Gerald: I’m sorry sunflower. We were careless. I have Benson looking into right now. Rest assured. Lily is by his side. Deacon and Emilia is with them as well just in case.

Gerald cradled Samantha in a hug as she fought back more tears. Gerald faced the crew and beckoned them to follow him to the landing site.

The crew puzzled over their ease at leaving the fairgrounds. Who was waiting for them at the warehouse would answer why. A young woman was sitting with Odele who was serving her tea.

Odele: {Inspector} Marianne, our crew has arrived

Odele finishes pouring the tea and faces you: Everyone, this is Marianne. She’s an {Inspector} for the Capital Constabulary. They are the national police force found throughout Capitus. As I figured, your run-in with the Chrysian constitutionalist seems to not have been a coincidence. Marianne if you would please.

The woman stands from her chair. For her small stature she has an intense presence

Marianne: Thank you Odele. About two weeks ago we had been tipped off about some group possibly planting a new improvised explosive in the fair. While such threats are commonplace we had not expected the device would be similar to one of your employers’. Accounting for the incident at the roadblock there were four total bombers. From the intel I gathered, we were able to disable the sabotaged Gyre Field Emitter.

The crew looks at Marianne confused

Marianne: Ah you probably weren’t aware I was at the fairgrounds while you were demoing your gear. I must say I was quite impressed.

Odele: Dear you’re being too modest. She saved one of the fair workers from a sniper bullet.

Marianne: Ah yes that was true. Continuing, my superiors would like your help in apprehending the other bombers as we’re not familiar with the technology and for other inevitable conclusions.

Samantha: Inevitable conclusions?

Marianne: We’ll likely get to that soon. In addition, we recently received an informant who’s been willing to share information but she has some rather considerable conditions.

On cue, a familiar fair skinned familiar beauty waltzes down the ramp onto the warehouse floor catching the eyes of the men immediately...

Gerald: I presume you’re our informant? From our reports you were working with the enemy.

Opal: Indeed sir. Your employees have been quite valuable to you I imagine seeing as I’ve had to jump ship. I believe with my…assets I can only continue to bring you more fortune.

Samantha (annoyed): And what exactly would that be?

Opal: Oh my dear I can offer the world. Vast social contacts, blackmail, private information, you name it. I just need some time with funds and I’d have no trouble. I can be of help finding you some new hires of course.

Samantha: That’s good and all but I see us having no need of you. From what I gathered you decided to desert your team because one of my employees got the best of you? With my brother incapacitated I’m not really eager to deal with any more partnerships or business deals. Especially with someone who will just up and leave.

Opal is slightly taken aback by Samantha’s bluntness: I did say the world honey. I have plenty of dirt on Eldson and his ilk. If you must know Eldson’s job wasn’t my choice. I have blackmailed, hurt, and lied to many people. Good people even, and yet this job is the only one to leave a sour taste in my mouth.

Opal makes a pained expression: My crew grew greedy.

Samantha: We’re quite aware of how awful Eldson is, and I’m sure your line of work leaves you with plenty of bad tastes in your mouth.

Gerald: Samantha I believe you should give the woman a chance

Opal chuckles for a moment and continues: I must say Ms. Gyre you can be quite sharp. I’ll leave things to strictly business then. To put it bluntly, Eldson plans on causing another war.

Opal pauses, observing her audience: ...and judging by your lack of reaction you’ve had suspicions of this being the case.

Gerald: We have quite a bit of intel indeed

Opal (smugly): So you already know the Knight’s role in all of this then?

Samantha (irritated): That would be what we’re trying to find out.

Gerald: And you already know we don’t.

Opal (to Samantha): That’s women’s intuition. You’ll develop it someday as well. I’ll be glad to share all that information but I’ll need assurances.

Samantha: Assurances?

Marianne: That would be the conditions I mentioned earlier.

Opal: Yes, assurances. Your employee left me in rather dire straits. My original team wants me dead and I need them handled one way or another; preferably without bloodshed, and I believe if you sink their current job that will be enough to get them off my back for now. That or assure me 300,000 notes and I can handle that part on my own. In addition you’ll be sub-contracting me as a permanent advisor to your new enterprise. Along with Marianne and her organization giving me immunity of the whole situation.

Samantha: Are you serious?! I could expand my lab with that money and there’s no way we’d have you arou-

Odele: Samantha while I’m not too fond of the hussy we’re walking in the dark and we need any information we can get. I saw we sub-contract her and get our money’s worth.

The other company owners look to Samantha to make a decision. Frustrated at having to do Samuel’s job she rubs the bridge of her nose, wipes her face, and sighs.

Samantha (fed up): Fine, but you better be Seven damned good.

Opal produces a red scroll. Samantha signs it reluctantly.

Opal: I believe you’ll find my terms quite agreeable. Now on to what I can share. My crew was hired to force Valentino’s hand into selling his company to Eldson. From our reconnaissance Eldson has been trying to ramp up production of GFE weapons much like your own and Valentino’s designs would compliment his current technology quite well. In addition we were given an additional contract specifically to cover certain “person of interests” during the Vitas Fair. As you can imagine we were asked to backup the constitutionalists. Or at least not get in the way. Now us {Closers} aren’t mercenaries. We deal in making deals happen. Not being B-level security for some maniacs.

Marianne finally speaking up: But your associates decided to expand into other fields when propositioned with funds, and why exactly were you so against this?

Opal: I’m no patriot {Inspector} but endangering the public isn’t something I could stand. I imagine Ruby was able to convince the rest to go along. I’ll say this, I have no qualms if she doesn’t leave unscathed.

Samantha: That’s good and all but where in the plan did you poison my brother?!

Opal looked at Samantha with a strange resignation. It was an expression of sincerity only capable by someone that could only tell lies.

Opal: Our crew did no such thing. However it would be something a {Cateologist} would have no trouble with. Be wary of who you trust dear. Vijupityne is quite a fickle substance. I hear one misstep can kill easily.

Samantha blushed from fury: Are you implying Professor Beaker poisoned my brother!?

Opal: Hush doll. He wasn’t the only {Cateologist} there, and I can have some fun too. You really need to control that temper of yours. You’ll age quickly. I’m not sure who poisoned your brother but it was likely the work of the Knights. We were informed that your brother and the others would be indisposed of. No offense to your brother but I found it strange they wanted you killed and him spared. I figured you’d be of more value.

Samantha: You bi-

Odele firmly grabs Samantha’s hand; squeezing it.

Odele: Opal. Continue please.

Opal: Thank you madam. Yes so Ruby and I were to introduce Valentino to Sirs Donnel and White. At this point we had Valentino where we wanted him but we figured giving him a choice to decide of his own will to sell might have saved him some dignity. Bringing him to the two Knights was to convince him it was for the best. Were he not to he would run into even more misfortune before leaving the company in disgrace and having an untimely accident. If you make this deal fail to go through and at least get Valentino to hold strong and say no, my former associates will leave as failures. However you’ve already intercepted the blackmail we had prepared so it shouldn’t be too difficult to convince him to join with you instead. He has no choice but to sell at this point.

Odele: Deacon was interested in being a buyer and I’ll be dragged along his scheme anyways so that could all be arranged. We’ll just have to reassure he can leave Capital alive.

Gerald: That still doesn’t explain one thing. We didn’t see any Chrysian officials aside from Ruby who was just one of Eldson’s lackeys.

Opal (slightly offended): I’m not privy to that information but there were other officials besides Eldson’s lackeys.

Marianne: That would fall under my jurisdiction and I’m afraid I can’t share that information. Consider it procedural dialogue.

Samantha: Procedural dialogue? What you and the Chrysians schedule out your wars or something?

Marianne: Not in the slightest Ms. Gyre. I can inform you it would be regular inter-state dialogue. Their interest in you and your company would not be regular however and my superiors are not exactly keen on allowing them to do so.

Odele: Samantha, you are already becoming a very important asset to this country. We all knew this would be the case if we were successful and from tonight’s demonstration we were astoundingly so. Our {Pressmen} have already told me how fast world of your machines has spread. We’re getting allies in the council which is precisely why Marianne is here.

Marianne: Yes it is as Odele has said. My superiors believe you may become a valuable asset.

Gerald hears the hum of the vocaven and picks it up. After a moment of speaking on the line, he places the vocaven down in frustration

Gerald: Bad news. The Council Guard has locked down Capital Park. They aren’t letting anyone inside. Surprisingly the rest of the agenda is to go as planned except for closing the park early tomorrow.

Odele: Eldson you sneaky bastard

Opal: Oh my. Fail to kill them so have them framed. How crafty.

Samantha (confused): What’s the meaning of all of this?

Marianne: The Council Guard is the private police force of the Council government and has authority over the Capital Constabulary. All council members may mobilize them as they see fit to ensure public safety.

Odele: And it’s safe to assume Eldson’s using them to cover his tracks.

Marianne: Not only that. I’m afraid to say it but my superiors expected something like this. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that the Council Guard would try to recover the Gyre bombs, and seeing as you’re the only one publicly known to be able to create such a device…

Gerald (to Samantha): You would be suspected of having supplied the constitutionalists with those bombs once word got out of what happened at the checkpoint.

Marianne: The inevitable conclusion.

The color from Samantha’s face leaves immediately leaving her a pale image of herself.

Odele: Rest assured sweetheart. We won’t let Eldson win.

In a moment that surprises everyone, Samantha quickly regains her composure and responds through gritted teeth: This bastard made two years of my life hell, tried to steal my father’s and my life work, tried to have me killed, and got some asshole to poison my brother. Seven fucking hells we won’t.

Odele: Atta’girl. It sounds like you might have a plan.

Samantha: Somewhat... Judging from how the Gyre bombs… Seven hells can we please call them something else?! Nevermind that. If the bombs were modified the way I think they were and from Marianne’s report that the Constabulary can’t recover the the Council Guard won’t even be able to touch them until tomorrow night. I can modify some GFEs so that they can safely recover them.

Marianne: You would want to do some without being seen as best as possible. It’s very likely the Council Guard would kill on sight. My associates at the Constabulary would assist them. I could not help you were you to not spare them if a battle were to come of this. Apprehending the bombers that fled into the slums would only strengthen your case as well.

Samantha: Oh yeah the bombers! If they’re captured we can clear a lot of this up.

Marianne: I’ve already arranged it. We’ve sent out a bounty for the bombers but due to some processing errors it won’t be made public until after you’ve apprehended them.

Samantha: Wait? Why would you post a bounty instead of trying to capture them?

Opal: She’s really this naive?

Marianne: Eldson could simply withdraw us. A bounty that’s still being processed wouldn’t be noticed as easily as mobilizing a raid.

Odele: So being the early birds we can take care of this job before anyone even knows its around. You said the Gyre bombs are untouchable. How long will they be like that? Also how long do you think it will take for you to modify the GFEs?

Samantha: The faulty GFEs will remain dormant as long as no one touches them. They’ll take several hours to burn off their cores so at least until the day after tomorrow. As for modifying the GFEs, several hours at best. I can definitely get it done if I work all night.

Odele: That won’t be necessary and I’ll need you to rest regardless since you’ll need to attend the ball. Although I hate that we’ll be tying up some of our crew.

Samantha: What? I can’t still do that with all of thi-

Odele: If you don’t show up Eldson will know we’re making a move. Not only that you need to show you’re not weak.

Opal: She’s right doll, and I can’t have you embarrassing us either. As dismayed as I am that I cannot attend the ball with you I believe I may be able to supply a protege or two of mine.

Marianne: I’ll be able to provide some intel as to how the Council Guard will set up. With the fairgrounds closing earlier it will be trivial to find a leak. We already have a clue as to where the bombers have gone off to. We also have some fresh recruits that may be of assistance as well. Due to the clandestine nature of this operation you’ll have to supply them with equipment.

Samantha: That will help Marianne. As for the bombers if they drove into the deeper parts of the city we might not have any time.

Odele: Actually I talked to Elm about that. We’ve already devised a way to find them. It seems the explosive they ran over is very easy to chemically trace. They’ve practically led a trail to where they went. Elm said he can have it shipped to us by tomorrow night.

Samantha: Good work. So it seems this will all happen during the ball?

Odele: Yes exactly. Tomorrow we’ll continue on as normal. Once the sun sets we’ll begin our operations. In the meantime get some rest and get to work on modifying the GFEs.

The next day operations go on as normal with no hiccups. As the sun sets everyone prepares for their next outing. Marianne informs the crew that her {Inspectors} have located the bombers within a neighborhood and distributes the coordinates. Lily stays with Samuel as he recovers in the hospital. Deacon gets himself and Emilia ready to attend the ball with Samantha. Odele stays back in the warehouse to continue running the HQ while Gerald runs off on his own for “Personal Business”.

[PREPARATION PHASE]

>Employees Clock in

During this time you may switch-out gear and PRTs. Spending any attribute points to increase attributes or learn PRQs is not possible. Nor is modifying gear.

You will also need to decide if you will keep your current {Foreman}.

You have three main objectives for this next round. Each assignment will need 2-3 employees per excursion. Below you will get information and general intelligence:

>Secure our site without being seen and retrieve the faulty GFEs (Employees with combat or stealth specialties may be beneficial)
Two faulty GFEs are still located in the reflection pond where they had been thrown at the fairgrounds. The Council Guard have enclosed them in some type of lock device securing and effectively hiding them from the thousands walking by. The third one isn’t at the base of the tower like it had been. However, during the morning fair activities you’re informed the upper floors of the tower have been closed off.

You will need to retrieve the faulty GFEs without being seen. Marianne has informed you the GFEs will be guarded by the Council Guard as well as the Capital Constabulary. She warns you again to not kill anyone from the Capital Constabulary. She shows you the blue uniform they wear. She also provides basic intel as to how they are operating. There are patrols moving around the fairgrounds and guards with spotlights positioned on the 1st floor of Smith Tower. The GFEs in the reflection pond are locked down by some device so will likely need a key. It’s likely the third one will as well.

In addition touching the faulty GFEs without the proper shielding can cause a Gyre Field Collapse. You are able to handle the faulty GFEs safely if you take the PRT below:

=[Martite Shielding] -1LI; -2 EN each turn; immune from unstable Gyre Fields

>Find the bombers in the slums (Employees with chemical knowledge or that are streetwise may be beneficial.)

The bombers’ location has been narrowed down to a dense neighborhood in the Capital slums. It’s likely they are hiding in one of the tenement blocks. Opal’s former crew helped them escape. It is possible some of them may still be with the bombers or at the ball. It is likely they are armed and dangerous. Elm Bloom was able to create a spray that reacts to the explosives they ran over while driving away. The spray will react to the explosive revealing a trail. At least one employee should equip the spray.

=Elm’s Chem Trail Spray 1EQ
[*Spray] 3Ap; Spray to look for any chemical/catalyst residue. Different colors occur depending on the reaction

>Attend the ball w/ Samantha (Employees with social or stealth specialties may be beneficial.)
The Capital ball will be held across the fairgrounds in the Maynard Ballroom. Security is tight at these events as several heads of state and industrial leaders are present. The Ballroom has two floors. The first is the main dance floor and the second is a terrace looking over the dance floor. The north has a stage for the band that will play. The roof has a massive skylight and there are likely to be snipers positioned up top as well. Samantha and Deacon accompanied by Emilia will be mingling with various VIPs. They will need to be protected.

Weapons are not allowed in the ballroom. The exception is swords as Chrysian nobles both male and female are unwilling to go to any formal occasion without one. Ladies are expected to wear ballgowns and are hardly searched so it’s likely they can bring in equipment. Dress-code is formal wear. There will be servants as well so that is another angle you may work with.

> …. Quest “Money Talks”
The Fuchinzs would like to meet Samantha. The {Merchants} seem to be privy to Eldson’s scheme and are likely bankrolling some of it. After Julien shared this with everyone Gerald and Deacon were wary of letting them meet Samantha. Nonetheless they agree it may be worthwhile but ask for caution.

> …. Quest “A Lover Scorned”
Valentino will also be present and likely still meeting with the Knights. Without the blackmail they will have a harder time forcing Valentino to sell his company. Opal believes they still have some way of forcing his hand so you’ll need to out what it is. Ruby is very likely to be with him and may have backup.

In Prep Phase you may ask questions or clarify any details. Please keep in mind I'll need you all to post your sheets and note any changes you may have to your loadouts. Just a reminder you can change the following:

-PRTs
-Equipment (either borrowed from your employer or new pieces bought)
-Appearance (within reason)

Please keep in mind whoever goes to the slums will be several districts away. It's possible to travel between districts but it will take at least 3 turns.

Is this always on, or is it toggled?

I should mention some specific PRT changes for you guys

[^Solide Wiring] 1EQ: +35%RE
>50%==>35%

[Aid] 1SP 2AP: heal MARd4 RES.
[Stabilize] 1SP 4AP: prevent a [Downed] ally from dying. Heal MAR.
[Booster] 2SP 3AP: +6AP -3RES on self or ally next turn
[Adrenmerlyne] 2SP 3AP: unaffected by wounds for MAR turns on self or ally immediately
[Venticine] 2SP 3AP: move up to VEN without spending AP for MAR turns on self or ally immediately
[Martinopyne] 2SP 3AP: Targets get a free [Boost] action. Lasts MAR turns
>Costs went down from 6-4AP to 4-2AP

New basic ability:
[*%Dodge] 4AP 2d12+VEN hit: 20; move ½ Ven out of the way of an incoming attack
>25% chance to dodge any attack @ 3 VEN and 46% @ 6 VEN

which changes
[%#Monkey’s Dance] +2 hit to dodges; Dodges can be prepared; Successful dodges build CB and Multiplier.
>38% @ 3 VEN and 62% @ 6 VEN; you can also prepare a dodge as an overwatch. Useful for running into the FoW.

and

{Skittish} +2 hit to dodges; always have a dodge action prepared

Dodges are an all or nothing deal. However if a single dodge fails then so will the rest of them. So, dodge stacking isn't particularly beneficial unless it's a pretty sure thing

We have enough people for the Slums. One more can go.

>>2050057
it's always on.

>>2050080
Do you have to take [Dodge] to use [Monkey Dance]?

Maybe - it's a bit hard to tell beneath the sneaking.

>>2050113
Dodge is default! Everyone has it.

So... Already danced with Opal & Amethyst. You want me to stick my shining shoes on the dancefloor, and see if I can take Ruby too?

Anywhere you want me, boss. I'm not picky (though I'm starting to like this dress)

Do I have to be using a Combo weapon to gain the benefit of Monkey's Dance? (And, I suppose, use other Brawler and Pugilist PRTs, by extension?) I don't think it's explicitly stated.


I'm up for any of the assignments, though I assume I'd be best used doing bomb retrieval or beating the bombers' faces in. Will tailor my loadout depending on what we still need when I find time to do so.

>>2050466
{Foreman} can assign roles but it's ultimately up to you to decide what you want to do.

>>2050514
any non-attacking skill can still work. You can't gain any CB from doing damage however so you'd be totally dodge/parry dependent for CB and ST. You're also losing out on 4 prts. It is viable to make a dodge tank that uses swords or maybe a gun but it'd be a mustard build at that point. You're just doing it for the sake of doing it.

>>2051031
Can Shotgun prts be applied to the Alt Fire of a Lament?

yeah which in turn affect the entire pistol meaning close quarter works for both the main and alt fire.

I'm wondering if we ought to use less distinctive equipment on the covert op, since we don't want it traced back to us - and, as pointed out, we're the only ones known to have access to such devices. But we don't really have any non-GFE-based equipment available for purchase.

Alternatively, we wouldn't happen to have any of the weapons we picked up from the raid on Eldson's lab still lying about, would we? Was he dumb and/or arrogant enough to leave any features or markings on them that could see it traced back to him?

I was thinking the Nyx GFE introduced last mission would work well for this, but it isn't listed in the doc, so I have no idea if it can be borrowed or must be purchased.

The Black Cap with Camouflage is probably a good alternative (or addition), but would definitely have to be purchased, and would make reloading annoying.


GFEs aside, aren't our weapons pretty distinguishable?

I'm considering using another weapon from my usual - to avoid being identified as one of the fighters onstage a day ago, in the event we end up actually having to fight - but I'm still trying to figure out which.

Possibly I might even go in bare-handed and see how poorly that works out. We'll be needing spare EQ (and hands) to carry the bombs out, won't we?

>>2052487
I want to say no but the idea is pretty hilarious. I'll let you do it but keep in mind it's a 2d12+mer+Disguise lvl check to fool people and servants will have a bigger bonus.

>>2052523
Go on the assumption they are expecting you. You want to avoid going loud period. The bags are only 1eq but the biggest concern is not having any shielding.

>>2052872
Nyx is also available. I haven't updated the doc in a while but if it's listed in thread it's available. Also assume the Eldson weapons you picked up are up for grabs. The guns need to be restated but I can do that quickly.

>>2047257
Wish there was a less expensive way to operate in the dark.

Anyway, since I won't have access to the Helios' easy vertical movement when using the Nyx, here's an attempt at a less movement-based Brawler, possibly subject to minor changes after clarifications:
Are Eldson Boxers' damage dice treated as 1d2 or 2d2 for PRTs?
What are the horizontal and vertical ranges of Jupimer Springheels, and do they protect from damage from falls as a result of their use?

>Purchase "The Black Cap" (Ꞥ2500)
>Purchase AB Binoculars (Ꞥ3000)
>Use GFE Mk. 1 “Nyx” and Eldson Boxers at no cost(?)
>Ꞥ12500 remaining.
>Current appearance: Whatever The Black Cap looks like when modified with night camouflage. Also carrying rucksack for storage of bombs, and containing civilian clothes to be changed into after extraction.

Alright. I'll just clock in with what I have now and hope it works out then.

And hoody. While I appreciate the fashion factor of the top hat, it would logically fall off the moment I start leaping through the air. And strapping a top hat to my head just so that I can be fashionable on a mission where ideally no one sees me would be ridiculous.

thank you both.

Consider each team Ball (Julien; Lirenis), Park (Prefect; Alex), and Slums (etc)


Odele: Alright everyone. You'll be going in as small teams. Keep supplies handy as your main medic is 3 clicks away and you'll be deniable assets so there's no chance we can save you if it gets dire. Erevu's gave us some drones nearby but deploying them will be costly if it comes to it.

Team Ball: Keep our VIPs out of harms way and see what you can do about Valentino and the those foreigners.

Team Park: You've got the most dangerous job. Keep out of sight and do your damn best to make sure no one finds out. Eldson is likely expecting us but he wants this as quiet as we do so we're sure you won't see anything too loud.

Team Slums: We'll need at least one of those bombers alive. Keep collateral damage to a minimum. Once you have one apprehended you can head out.

Opal: Need I remind you to please try to spare my crew. I can still use them.

Marianne: I can say the same for my brethren in the force. We may understand some casualties but if this operation becomes too costly we can't guarantee our continued cooperation (pic related)

>{Foreman} can [Deploy Drones] to drop much needed supplies. They are expensive to use though.

Posting window is going to be odd this time around. Please try to get posts in ASAP. I'll try to have posts done by 2:00 UTC (9:00pm EST) every day but there may be days I'll take longer. Namely Monday Tuesday and Thursdays due to professional responsibilities. With that said a deployment tomorrow or early Friday.

You can switch out your busted GFE for another Helios. You'll just have to pay for the first one, and don't trying moving one of the Gyre bombs with your shield up again.

>>2054050
"Well, as the Slums team gets into position, this seems an adequate time for you to prove yourself useful, Opal. Tell us what you can of your former crew, and perhaps elucidate us on their reasons for seeking the slums.
Marianne, can I count on you to fill me in on any jargon I may need? Proper speaking may well save the life of a constable. Or myself, for that matter."

>>2057340
Opal: Mighty touchy are we. If I were to guess Tacks or Roller probably have someone they could have stashed away with. Amethyst is still young so she hasn't developed any contacts or standards for that matter. Ruby or I would figure out accommodations. As for the crew I can break them down as followed:

Roller is the shot. He's been with us for some time and provides overwatch for us. Truth be told he's never been a people person and prefers hiding out alone. An extremely patient former {Watchman}

Tacks is a young hot head. The oaf's been trying to impress me for months. Just your normal overall muscle.

Amethyst is my younger protege. She's rash when it comes to decisions and pretty good with a knife.

Marianne: You're in luck. We've been pulling talent from all over the country to cover the fair so staffing is a less familiar that normal. There aren't any teams scheduled to relieve that team until morning but you could maybe bluff your way through them. The Council Guard will be more wary however.

Samantha: Okay Julien. You’ll be my date for tonight. As far as anyone is concerned you’ll be a business associate. If anyone recognizes your family crest try to make up a good cover.

Deacon: I’ll see what we can do about Valentino. We need to get him separated from his handlers somehow to try and talk to him ourselves. At this point he’d probably sell everything off just to spite them.

Samantha: So why hasn’t he done that yet?

Deacon: Opal said they can be very convincing. I don’t think she’s hiding everything from us but she’s definitely not an open book.

Deacon twists his cane and holds it up to his mouth: Lirenis. Good job getting in through the servants entrance. Try to find Valentino and those foreigners.

Marianne: Come in everyone. Odele has asked me to guide you two. You’re already familiar with the park but with the darkness your sight will be limited significantly unless you have something to counteract that. Fortunately the same can be said for the other side. I’d like to remind you to please try not to harm my colleagues. I nor my superiors care not for the council guard however. From what little intel I could get I saw asset requests for some spotlights and longarms. I can only surmise they are expecting you and will put up a fight.

About Stealth

Being a handyman means your jobs may be sensitive from time to time. In these moments discretion is key. Hence any handyman worth his salt knows when to skulk and when to get loud.

There are two main components of stealth: sight and sound

>Sight
Default sight range is 8 units out unless a unit has taken high ground or other reasonable measures have been made. i.e. a guard in a watchtower.

In the dark, sight is halved.

[Sneaking] is assumed when you are moving through the map during clandestine operations. To avoid processing errors It is a safe bet to mark your intentions if you are sneaking in other circumstances. If you are moving near a unit that can possibly detect you, you roll a 2d12+VEN+bonus vs. MAR roll OR a blanket threshold roll. Moving into cover, being crouched, or prone reduces your sight profile giving your bonuses to stealth and allowing you to get closer to a unit without being detected

>Sound
Moving and other actions create sound. For example running over pavement will produce a 5 tile radius sound profile. In other words if you are running normally on this type of surface anything 5 tiles away from you may do a detection roll.

Weapons can also create sounds when used. The sound profile is determined by the MAXIMUM DAMAGE a weapon can do. Melee weapons have a -75% discretion bonus. PRTs PIQs and PRQs can reduce your sound profile further. There is a hard cap to stealth and anything that would obviously make you noticeable will. This isn't Skyrim where you can cheese stealth damage.

Some examples of PRTs helping with stealth include:
{Servant} reduces all sound profiles by 50% (That's where your twice as stealthy description comes from)
[Merisol Dampener] -3 to sound profile
[^Quiet Now] Reduces gear profiles by -3; guns already silenced are reduced to 4 tiles
[Silencer] -2 to sound profile
[Camouflage] -2 to sight profile
[Stake Out] +1 bonus to detection rolls every turn. Caps....eventually
[*Crouch] -1 sight profile -2 sound profile
[*Prone] -2 sight profile -3 sound profile

Cover and the environment may give a malus or bonus to these profiles.

Keep in mind social stealth works wildly differently but does borrow the core math.

>>2059864

Marianne: Sounds like how the chaps over in Dossner wear it. Are you from there by chance? Your accent made me think that.

Can you mark exactly where you're observing?

tile by tile is best. Also the binocs are an item that are used when you zoom. just continue to note when in your turn you want it used. I default to it being at the end. It's not passively letting you see in the dark. You can overwatch with them using zoom though.

Julien nods lightly, his piercing blue gaze measuring Samantha's disposition congenially.
"You seem to be doing much better, Samantha, good."
He pauses a moment, gathering his thoughts. He opens his mouth, speaking now somewhat hesitantly, his voice is deeper, somewhat remorseful.
"I understand you may not like me, I'd like to apologize for my behavior in the past, I'd explain myself but that is for another day"
He grins warmly, then, {Gallantly}.The shadow of a different side of him gone as quickly as it arrived.
"Now on to business, I'm going to need to be rather close to you at all times this evening, tell me, how well can you dance? Can you observe a room while you dance or would you need to watch your steps? I can think of no better way to spy on a room full of nobility than to keep an eye open during a fine waltz...and the ah..thing(the gun) I gave you, can you use it effectively should the need arise?"
Julien pauses, realizing he's begun rambling, with a grin he stops and holds out his elbow, the silent invitation being that Samantha should take it.
"Ah, this will go fine, fear not. Oh and one last thing: you look quite nice tonight"
I would like to basically drag Samantha around the plot excise being she's holding my elbow and I'm leading her around

Julien’s apology surprises Samantha: Odd time to say it now but I’ll forgive you. I would have to say I’m sorry too. I was a little too quick to judge. I’ve been practicing so I can dance well enough. I think I’ll be too busy keeping up with you to look at much else, and yes I helped build these things I think I know how to use a gun.

Deacon: Enough talk kids we have some work to do. We need to find Valentino and the Jings. It may be too late to find out what those Knights were going to say but we may-

Cecil Hampshire of Capital radio walks up to the group: It’s so good to see you all again. I hope you’re enjoying tonight’s festivities.

Samantha: Hello again Cecil. How are you tonight?

Cecil: Doing well but…

Cecil grabs a newspaper from his pocket and unfolds it in front of the group. There’s a solvengraph of the crew’s tech demo along with a portrait of Samantha and Samuel. The headline reads: THE SIBLINGS OF INNOVATION: the kin of Samson Gyre and their breakthrough technology.

Cecil: I think you’ll be doing much better.

Deacon: My Seven kind would you look at that. You two are in the national paper.

Cecil: Congratulations Samantha. Where is your brother by the way?

Samantha: Oh he’s been fielding work and appearances all day. Extremely busy and what not.

Cecil: I see. Well it’s nice that you came. I hope we can still have that interview

Deacon nudges Samantha and exchanges a glance with Julien. He shifts his eyes towards the dance floor: She’ll be more than happy to, but I believe theses two were right about to have their first dance.

Samantha (flustered): Oh yes that’s true. Come Jules.

As Julien and Samantha walk onto the ballroom floor, Lirenis makes her way around the ballroom. The two handymen immediately find some of their targets on the dancefloor.

The joys of life was roaring engines, breathing, spanners with appropriate grip adjustment, oxygen, charged batteries, full range of wrist movement, osculating measurement needles just clear off the red indicator and simply being able to breathe.

Breathe! Air! No corsets, no steel wires, minimal laces and only the most mission critical frills. Which - while adorable - were a tactical necessity sewed on at 4-in-the-morning because. . .

because . . . the frills were required to. . . match the lacey bit down the wrist band? Accentuate the burlesque drama? Yeaaaahh. Hey this table was really soft...

Lirenis shook out the encroaching sleep deprivation cobweb. Frills. Tactically necessary, right. Sound decision staying up all night sewing them on. Employee of the month. Right. Blended into the wait staff like a galeocerdoin a sheep-pen. All good deep sea predators chronicled by astute if self-preservation Astrivitium observers could smell blood in the murky water. A well lit Ballroom attended by guests in fine frippery? Same principle, surely. Slide over /there/, suss out the weakest looking marine prey animal /there/, pounce when it got distracted by plankton or a lithe dancing partner, victory!

A maid calls Lirenis over: Are you Jenny’s replacement? You need to be upstairs. Go hurry!

...

The handymen can overhear Jinghai

Jinhai: Yes Mr. Amphen. Fu-Yuo has means to produce your wares. With our supply chain you easily expand beyond Chryse.

Amphen: That is good to hear. Thank you.

Julien notices Jing-ho is dancing as well and is able to overhear his conversation

Essma: Is Fu-Yuo really that beautiful?

Jing-ho: Yes and the best city of all is Dao. It is the island where our headquarters is.

Sir White makes his way across the hall directly to Jinhai

Sir White: Sorry to interrupt Ms. Jing but we need to speak immediately.

Jinhai shoos the men away: You stop important meeting. This better be worth it.

Sir White: We need to know if you will help finally our agreement. You asked us for some time and you said you would have an answer tonight.

Jinhai: Ask brother. He tell you.

Sir White looks frustrated: We understand your concerns I can assure you that the Gyres’ technology is nowhere near as developed as Eldson’s.

Jinhai: If what we saw real. No gun company will be worth anything. Even if you can make many gun. You also promise help with other matter.

Sir White: Yes it is as we said. We’ve narrowed his location to Praia de Oro. Why would anyone go there is beyond me. Once you finish our agreement we will help as promised.

Jinhai is noticeably irate: Ask. Brother.

Sir White sighs in exasperation: We will meet you upstairs. If you have any other concerns say them there.

Julien eyes the room with an apparent disinterest belied by the subtle sharpness of his gaze, gently he speaks to Samantha, making so he can't be heard by others.
"I see the merchants I told you of already, I also see one of the knights, we should wait to speak to them a while longer, it would be more wise to see if the other knight is lurking about down here first and-"
He stops speaking with a a slight wince, with a breezy he recovers quickly.

Dancer 1: Eldson Enterprises prices have been dropping steadily and with what we’ve seen from Gyre’s demo yesterday he’ll be in more trouble

Dancer 2: Yeah but even with Bloom being their partner they’re still small time

Dancer 1: True but they’ll steadily climb after yesterday. It also helps that Eldson is getting desperate for more funds.

Dancer 2: Eldson!? Having trouble with money?

Dancer 1: Keep your voice down. My brother is an {Insider}. I heard he lost one of his labs in a fire and from his past history many creditors won’t loan him money. Why I don’t know.

Dancer 2: Do you think that’s why he’s trying to get comfortable with the Chrysians?

Dancer 1: Possibly but they’re money is dirty and too easy to trace. If he was trying to make a major purchase without raising any flags he’d need an outside source.

The couples twirl around dancing. Jin-ho expertly moves around the dance floor. The conversation happens in bits and pieces but the maneuvers the dancers do mask their correspondence.

Jing-ho: Two months ago we were in Foz de Prata. Our younger brother stay and go on his own to find business. A week ago he supposed to call us. He never did. We think something happen to him but our network is weak there. Eldson came to us four days ago saying he want to help. In exchange we help purchase.

Samantha: So you’re suspecting Eldson had something to do with it?

Jing-ho: Maybe not directly involved. But he using his information well.

Samantha: And he’d want to partner with you regardless because you could likely help mass produce his wares.

Jing-ho: I mean to ask that too. After yesterday. We wanted to offer our services. Those shields that blocked bullets. Incredible machines.

Samantha: Mass produce my technology?! You really think you could mass produce Gyre Field Emitters? They’re extremely complicated and it takes my engineers at least a week to make a single one.

Jing-ho: We already saw Eldson’s. We know the basic workings already and believe we could reproduce passing quality in a year. What take you a week we can do in hours once things in place.

Samantha: Yeah but like I’d really give another nation my technology?

Jing-ho: Ms. Gyre, as I said, Eldson already give us plans. You better off steering the ship then trying to catch up. We admit. They not as good as yours ever, but not need to be. Many nations love soldiers or other having those shields or weapons. You become very rich.

Samantha: The money isn’t important. I realized that my work would come to this eventually. But never on a massive scale. It’s too complex for it to ever get to that.

Jing-ho: Do not underestimate industry Ms. Gyre. The cogs of progress will crush any man who refuse see what ambition brings. We figure why he want Aquilla Arms too. They make guns that work well with his design. With all that we have competing product that all nation would have.

Samantha squeezes Julien’s hand. In a split second she looks at him as to what to say.

Samantha: So why are you telling me all of this?

Jing-ho: We not trust Eldson. Not trust many but really not trust Eldson. We work with you but must see if you are better parnter.

Samantha: How so?

Jing-ho: Our brother. Find him before Eldson does. You agree and we purchase Aquilla Arms but partner with you instead.

Samantha: I. Uh….

Samantha steals another panicked glance at Julien

As El Mamut rushes two of the pawns into a wall, one of the pawns lands on his back with an audible crack. The pawns sweep at the legs hobbling El Mamut and chops overhead. The shield softens the blow but the knife still connects. The other pawn aims his gun true and shoots. It’s a shotgun from the sounds of it.

Gairan takes a similar beating. He’s hobbled as well and receives a chop in turn. His armor is able to absorb the blow however.

This one's on you. But I don't Samantha likes guns, and I don't the Union likes the military-industrial complex (shit hours, hard to negotiate with).

Let me get Valentino to Deacon, and Deacon can make Valentino an offer. Then the Jingho lose their sweetener - maybe Samantha can come up with plans for a less effective, smaller Gyro that still beats Eldons' design on safety? The JingHo can mass produce that like cakes and tea and... blurry afterimages with a taste of pineapple... no one dies from energy releases. If they don't have the foundries of Aquila, they're stuck with Eldson's tech or whatever Samantha gives them.

Tell her it's the best way to preserve piece, giving them a compact unit that can safe lives. Like a slightly less compact Prometheus. Still beats Eldson's tech. And we keep the Radically New Models safely on lock down. Preserves majority patent for Samantha, right?"

"Ah, but here's where I'm uncertain sir. We plan to buy aquilla arms for ourselves, and we are quite likely to do so as well, given he's here tonight, really as far as you've said you don't really need them anyways, given your massive infrastructure. So here's what I suppose would do nicely. You are a very frank people, I will be so now, as well. You get in touch with our contacts and tell us what you know about how we can get your brother to you and we will do it, the lady Samantha gives you some of her *choicest* best plans so you can begin fine-tuning production of our quality devices, and making us all some money, the specifics can get argued over by lawyers another day, eh? A favor for a favor, really, and that's how the best deals are made."

Julien grins and twirls Samantha to the tempo of the music, seeing a chance he moves into a spin to take him out of earshot of the foreigner, leaning in close he whispers to Samantha.

"This way they can only use what you give them -though you will need to give them some substantial things- and you can control the flow of what goes out into the world, it's almost having your cake and eating it too, if you have a more refined way of saying what I'm telling them now then speak up, I was never really good for numbers, that was always my brothers' strength"

With some improvised supplies and ingenuity Lirenis makes a convincing disguise of the man she remembers seeing in the picture. She walks towards the private party and winks at Valentino. At first Valentino does not notice the doppleganger of his lover but snaps his gaze once he realizes who he sees. Valentino’s face goes from pained relief to utter confusion once he meets Lirenis’ gaze.

On the ground below the couples continue their dance of words.

Samantha: It is as the Chrysian has said. We plan on buying Aquilla Arms already and we have the know how to make compatible weapons with the GFEs. You already said Eldson’s product is inferior and you really only have basic prototypes. Why work with such bunk when I can supply you with something much better? You do not seem that interested in acquiring Aquila Arms in the first place so we can take it off your hands. Since we’ll have a whole new gunsworks we will definitely need metal and other materials to manufacture them. I’m sure an exclusive deal to supply us with such raw materials will still be lucrative while mitigating such risks. As a token of our new partnership we will do everything we can to help you find your brother.

Jing-ho grins at the Capitian’s offer. He laughs while saying something in his foreign tongue: Quite something Ms. Gyre. We have saying “All casts love fish. Only tiger not afraid of water.” You have makings of fine businesswoman. I must warn you though. Valentino cannot sell to you.

Samantha: And why would that be Mr. Jing?

>Park
Marianne: I knew at the pay ledger would be worth it. They’re using our standard clearance protocol for basic night patrols.

Alex skulks towards the site and peeks through his binoculars. He can see strange masked figures working on boxes in the reflection pond with a similarly dressed officials waiting on the water’s edge.

Marianne: Good job uncovering the whole site Alex. They’ll likely have a tough time seeing you two since their eyes are adjusted to the spotlights. You’ll have to figure out a way to get them away from there. Hey wait a minute. Maybe you can take out the spotlights? That should at least slow them down.

Gairan and El Mamut find themselves swinging at the air as both their opponents dodge out the way. Gairan responds by throwing a glob of Jupvencityne covering the gun wielding pawn with glue. Bayode swings around and gets El Mamut a bandaid.

Jing-ho: Well Ms. Gyre, they have Valentino's partner.

Samantha: Partner? Who does?

Jing-ho: You know what I mean when say partner. It was your men who steal blackmail. And same people who wanted blackmail have partner.

Samantha ponders for a half second before realizing something. She leads Julien facing her back away from Jing-ho, and looks up at him for a moment mouthing “The bombers”. She grabs his hand and spins halfway around to face Jing-ho with a devilish grin.

Samantha: Mr. Jing. My men are already on it. This song is ending now and as much as a girl loves to dance it’s hard walking in these shoes as it is. Please enjoy the rest of your evening Mr. Jing. Come Julien.

Upstairs, Lirenis’ masquerade seems to garner a different reaction than she had expected.

Ruby: How in the Seven hells are you even here.

Valentino: Ernesto you’re safe! How did you escape their grasp?

Ruby: Dammit Amethyst. Sir White get your men to apprehend him!

Sir White: As you wish m’lady but be keen as to how you talk to a noble.

Deacon walks confidently across the loft. He taps his cane against the railing to grab Valentino’s attention.

Deacon: Mr. Aquilla I’ve had quite a time locating you…

Lirenis can hear Odele on her vocaven

Odele: RUN! Deacon will buy you time.

Marianne: Why are there Council Scientists there as well? Nevermind that it looks like the GFEs are locked down. There’s probably a key and I bet one of the council suits have it. They wear those white and purple uniforms.

After missing their attacks Gairan and El Mamut are left wide open. The pawns start their counter attack breaking both of their shields and leaving them worse for wear.

>>2079563
Wait, so after one dodge I missed all 3 attacks and the disarm even though the guy was still in range?

>>2079563
Also, am I still hobbled?

See? Genius plan.

>>2079884
>>2079885

Yeah which is pretty potent. Dodge works very similar to parry in that it "interrupts" attacks. Once the Pawn dodged your first attack they flanked behind you. Since they were behind you you were hitting the air. Just remember you can do exactly the same. Fortunately you don't waste energy hitting nothing. Unless you have certain Prts.

Some other notes to consider.
Attackers do not change their direction once attacking unless they have a prt for that.
Attackers go semi-sequentially. If multiple people are aiming at you they will attack at very similar intervals but there's enough "time" to readjust.

For example if you're fighting a melee and ranged character you could dodge the melee's attacks but the ranged character has enough time to retarget you. It's much harder to dodge ranged enemies as you have to break line of sight

Finally and something really important is that ranged attacks can be completely dodged if you run behind any cover that breaks LoS. This includes human bodies.

That last turn was pretty unlikely to happen since it was a 1 in 9 chance both pawns dodged. You still have you capacitor so you can still attack.

Hobble means you need to buy that much move. Since you were hobbled for 7 you need to buy 7 tiles worth of move. If your move is 3 that means 12 ap since that wil give you 9 move. On the last move action you could move 2 tiles.

I should also mention how flexible movement is. You spend 4 ap to "buy" your movement up to you total move. You do not need to use it sequentially. Say you have Mov 6. You spend 4 ap and now you can move 6 tiles in any configuration. So if you only needed to move 2 tiles to run up and hit a guy you can still use the other four to run away or reposition yourself.

That's, uh, more than I expected. I have it down as just setting RES to 0. Wish I'd gotten capaci-joggers for this mission now.

>>2079991
You spend 4 ap to "buy" your movement up to you total move. You do not need to use it sequentially.
How does this work if part of my movement is while standing, and part of it is while prone? I've been doing movement in full chunks for ease of processing until now, but now seems like a good time to take advantage.

>>2080360
Double check the thread I introduced the Nyx in. If it doesn't say it's draining EN then it should. Regardless I'll run it as whatever it says in thread as that changes your build decisions.

As for movement you still have standing movement and crouch/prone movement treated separately for that exact reason.
