And the Hounds have been unusually persistent.

I'm not saying they're here, but I am saying "be careful". Last thing we want is another outbreak of infection.

Fisticuffs and other noble arts are down to innate talent, sheer brawn, skillful execution and the occassional cheat. Equal to hits from harm+fists, but brassknuckles, leadsloggers and miniraturized actuators all may also aid.

And ofcourse, they can never take it from you.

With a trick or two up your sleeve, the oldest weapons in the world do well on modern battlefields.

. . . And the sun beats down on rusting pipes and sheer heights of stone someone tried to shape futilely heat and wind drove them away. The place is quiet. Or is it? Faintly, in the distance, a gentle hum drifts on the wind. It mixes with the smell of recent smoke and some heavier odour.

Creaking crate lids give way, too sunburnt to offer any resistance. They don't hold much, and appear to have been already scavenged once (a few awry nails in the sand hint at some enterprising wanderer with a crowbar and a mission).

Some sand, a few knickknac and... oh, a surprisingly fetching scarf, if somewhat ripped.

Score?

Three corpses stain the sands - two of them look pallid, and not merely from exsanguination following the blow that killed them. Vivid blotches mix with skin so pale that each vein is visible in an intricate latticework. Something. . . grows from the wound of one, hard to identify without more work. The other is a legionnaire in full battle dress. The armour bears new scars. He died fighting these two; dragged them with them.

Merely stabbing them did not, it seems, inspire them to quit their murder work.

Over by the pipes, near a heatshimmer, a greenscarfed interlocutor perks up.

[Greenscarf]: ". . . HELLO. P-P-PLEASE BE STANDING ST-ST-STILL. STILL. STILL.

ARE YOU NEW / FRESH FLESH?"

>>2456534

Handily, you already know what your artefacts do. Should you find others, you may analyse and utilise them!

Humming Amulet [Grants ‘Deflect’ action, 6d100. Powersource unknown]

The amulet Deflects incoming ill intent, but has trouble matching furious focus. You know it is activated by holding it tightly.

Modified Scrapbow [3d+.5Harm, rng 6+sensex2, expand range or dmg by 1 with alacrity, bows+0]

This bow has a an odd attachment that appears to align the arrow with distant targets.

1 Fragmentation Grenade. 5x5. Range Harm x 3. ]

This little sphere will cause a problem for anyone you throw it at. Holding it in your hand, it palpably exudes maliciousness.

. . . As for the Torn Scar, it is a little worn but rather soft. And has some fine embroidery, beneath the battle damage. It somewhat matches the scarf of your far new friend over by the pipes, the jittery fellow with the screeching voice that sounds like it slithers in from some far distance.

One quick backstep and the speaker clambers behind a jutting pipe before they answer.

>>2456605
"YES. GLA-GLA-GLADY. THEY DID NOT WANT TO TRADE WITH US. IT WAS UNCOUTH. RUDE. UNCIVILISED. DELIBERATELY SO."

With a shuffle, a hunched over companion joins the speaker from inside the Legion Post. With bearing slouched and boots that are not uniform standard, they are no legionnaire unless standards have gotten rather direly low.

From inside the Legion Post wafts a gentle tangible smell with an underlying hint of smoke and somewhat sweet on the edge of excess. Meat. Meat left far too long in the sun. The two covered pale folk match it, lesserly.

Regarding bits is the "max bits" for carrying(im assuming) or is it the max for a combination. What's "power base" for the effect? Can I find stuff other than bits with scavenging?

Then we trade, and we get... get... get... well yes. But you get life! LIFE! YESSSSSS"

While sunmad, and addled, these people haven't made much threatening movement - yet.

But the speaker did inch closer to the rifle, just now. And that ahead is a killzone already choked with corpses.

Forgot to ask whats the clip size on the rifle is it just 20, I get one clip?

>>2456994
You can carry as many bits as you can fit in your pockets, which is to say, quite a lot.

You can indeed find a plethora of other stuff - and you often will!

Max Bits is for the combination itself, not to do with the limits of your endurance. It acts as a cap upon the effect of the devices, artifices and general tools you construct. It's the max bits you can employ. Power Base is the base effect before any additional bits is spent on increasing it - its based on whatever Intention your use is operating off of. For most people, that's Solve. So the base effect for you is 2Solve +1 Mecha = 3, before any additional bits is then spent on power.

An example on-the-spot improvised explosive device would call for 1Fire Bit + 1 BlastBit, and then hit for 3 in a 3x3 area.

You could naturally add more Power Bits, up until your maximum bits of Solve + Mech x2 ( 4, for you ). This could allow you to construct a Home Made Hi Ex that hit in an area for 5 damage. Note that this base effect is additively improved by the deployment method - were you to THROW your HIEX it would be using Harm to land it somewhere, and naturally, the following explosion would benefit from proper aim at 5base + harm hits.

>>2456964
Every FOE gets a roll, but it does not need to be redone. The Value is auto-generated at = [Sense]. Opponents roll to beat.

Arrowken does not require dice. You may attempt to Improvise with Solve and Secret, as usual, and this would perhaps offer benefit (or drawback)

>>2457017
We're not exactly awash in bullets and sundry out here, soldier. You get your 20, and that's the wrap. Perhaps a friendly soul could offer more, you could construct a CELL with EFFECT to power your gun ( Noting, naturally, that a particularly sharp mind could make a Shock or Fire or Smoke Cell and have bullets with extra kick ).

Or you could scavenge some?

The scragdogs find a use for the corpses, albeit perhaps not one their master intended. One plays contentedly with a rib before crunching the bone with powerful jaws.

This at least is easy to read: They wonder if they could be lucky enough to Feast.

A [Fire Cell 4] is easy to construct. It occurs to you, however, that you lack the ARROWKEN to reliably make munitions. Well. Maybe some tape will see you through.

Finding a reload is a little different than creating one - and the prenatural ability to never /quite/ run out of munitions simply means you can mostly locate a reload either on you, nearby on someone else, or conveniently within reach.

But bullets scrounged off of the ground aren't always reliable.

>>2457204
Precisely right!

However, we usually divide things into CREW PHASE - you move, act, ask questions and [Other Phase] - where the map updates with environmental movements.

Command is usually not stringent and will add player actions that come in during Environment Phase if they are close to the cut-off, just because of the medium. However, once the update is mostly done, that's no longer the case (Because uploading and so on).

In this case, you posted while the turn was being uploaded as complete. But it's no loss! Just go again!

This traveller smells rotten, and his pale countenance flickers to you. Trying to smile beneath the layers of cloth, but not managing. You can tell this close he has a weapon he has not yet drawn, but by his stance, he intends to do so. . . soon.

Constance prepares, as does Snake-Eyes and Rictus - but it is Jian that breaks the silence as a waft of flames across the pipes. His opponent steps back in shock, failing to bring a rifle pulled from out of sight to bear.

And then violence ensues. Which sadly interrupts the enterprising merchants among us.

There are TWO ongoing conversations. One is on a seperate - far - frequency, and is more coherent. Brusquely spoken, it is a chattering in a CYPHER - which sounds like Legion Battlecant.

It appears to be originating from the WEST. It is marked in GOLD.

The other is marked in TEAL. Rapid, pulsating words fly back and forth, but it is meaningles garble with little syntax - spoken by people who have know what words are but think syntax a lesser creation.

They appear excited, however. You catch the word MEAT and TRADE and NEW and UNITY a lot. The most coherent of them all is clearly the one who has done the most talking so far - the very scarfed individual Snake-Eyes attempted to skewer. Their kin is. . . much less coherent.

You do gather the following:
They are coming closer
They are trying to rouse more of their ilk
Not everyone is wearing a reciever, but most will be.
The RED SCARVES are trained fighters.
The GREEN SCARVES are trained debiliators who can bring FIRE and SHADOW.
Someone out there is wearing a PURPLE SCARF. That is THE LEADER.

They are trying to protect THE LEGION POST and DO NOT WANT YOU TO ENTER.

Harm + Bow/Spoolbow.

It has a few extra tricks that more common accelators of missiles do not - once hit a target, you deal your relevant damage and may then proceed to SWING, REEL, PULL or otherwise manipulate your foe using HARM + the SpoolValue of your bow - in this case, 4.

It is of course entirely possible to use this weapon as a grappling hook, climbing aid or quick drink fetcher (if your aim is good). Lines can also be quickly adjusted to TRAPS and will act as a TRIGGER WIRE.

And of course, if you were to hit someone, you could attach the wire to something other than the bow to pin your target.

When calculating range for your weapon I take it you can't move diagonally only cardinals?

As for firing how exactly does the amount of bullets you can fire per turn/action and the distribution work, is it by the dice?

E.g.

Rifle 3 + Harm 3 +1 alac 7d100 -4 alac

Would it be 7 shots total I can distribute?

2 ammo for +1 is +1 to aim(hit chance for roll) I take it?

So call beforehand 7 shots to one target rolls get +3 hit to the base 40? Are harm and rifle proficiency added too or are they only for rolls?

>>2457568
Hm, good to know. What's the dice pool? Is it the same as a scrapbow?

Bullets are a bit more abstract than that. One attack action generates one pool. For some weapons, they can Burst, at which you spend more of your limited ammo to add extra dice to a single attack at the specified value.

Rifle 3 Harm 3 +1 Alac = 7 dice, containing X bullets.

You /can/ split your attack between targets that are close to each other. But this splits your entire pool equally between them, unless you employ Mirror Strikes.

The 2 ammo for +1 adds 1 dice to this.

So Rifle 3 + Harm 3 + Alac 1 + Burst 1 = 8 dice.

If you were shooting at two clustered opponents, you could split it 4/4. Or could empty a bit more than half your clip, get +7 dice, and split it 7/7. This would consume a lot of ammo, but only be one action. Alternative, you could fire twice at Rifle 3 Harm 3. This would consume 8 Alacrity and 2 ammo (you are not bursting for extra).

Its juggling between expediency and action capacity.

The rolls themselves are 1-40, on a d100. Damage is is calculated using the FIRST DICE THAT HIT - or if it's multiple ydx, the first relevant ones.

for your rifle, each attack consumes 1 ammo standard, not the sum of your rifle+harm. We assume you aim carefully. The ability to spend more ammo for more dice on your attack is merely a bonus that increases your chance to hit, total damage, crititical range and so on.

In a burst of violence and teeth, two of the assailants drop the sand, moaning and bleeding. One is quickly cut short by snapping jaws.

Two quick punches from enhanced muscle means RICTUS renders one of these Scarf Men concussed an unable to defend themselves - but a quick glance over the shoulder finds an already dead target for a pistol.

While some squirrel away inside wartorn walkers (Something shines over there, near the crew compartment) someone else gently prods the radionetwork and tries to abate their rage. It might work.

Ever falls back, and his new best friend goads him on to seek shelter in the Legion Post.

There is no shelter here.

No shelter at all.

An amorphous mass of growth has colonised both the corpses of formerly devout legionnaires and the post they used to man, and the rank smell is much, much worse up close.

The thing inside the Legion Post pulses languidly. Is it. . . creeping closer?

Our standing foes form up a rough block, one among wearing the garb of Legionnaire. Whether this is a fresh convert or a lucky finder of armor that fit is unknown.

They know they need buy a moments time for reinforcements to scatter in - forces that may be somewhat confused by Sudis gentle misdirection, but which will still arrive - given time.

>Red Scarves are OVERWATCHING.

[Crew Phase, Crew May Act]

>>2457710
Cardinal and diagonal. it's an easier way to measure.

Moving is only cardinal, indeed. But for aiming, you can feel geometrically liberated.

>>2457740
Yes. And not... quite.

Think of this system as a dicepool system. Your generate your pool from [Intention] + Secret. Given 4 dice, this gives you an 88% chance of at least 1 success. Given more dice, your chance of successes rapidly increase. For some tasks, this is enough. Any extra hits add more effect, usually on the scale of +1 raw value.

This means you can usually be assured that you will succeed, but the magnitude of your success will vary.

For a single attack with a gun, the wrinkle is that guns do not benefit from +Damage from your [Harm] intention. Instead they vary a little on the bullet, to simulate striking various bodyparts. So for a gun attack, you roll your pool (Lets say 6d100)

13, 13, 13, 13, 95, 1.

Hits are 1-40. 13, 13, 13, 13 and 1 all hit. This is 5 hits (13 x 4, and then 1 is a crit for 2 hits). Base damage of a gun is 1d10. The first is 13 - and the digit we are using is a 3. So your damage is 3.

To this we add the 5 hits - your total damage is 8. This is pretty brutal, and you will note the increase over hitting someone with a blade. However, you have just spent AMMO, which is limited in quantity.

Your target could be in COVER, this would reduce incoming by value of cover. Maybe 3 cover? Your total damage is now 8-3 = 5.

Your target could be DODGING, this would have them roll Reaction versus your pool, and they might get out of the way entirely.
Your target could be in cover and dodging.
In cover, dodging, wearing armour, in smokey conditions.

So as you say, usually more dice than bullets, and extra dice are higher hit chance and better effect. Base hit chance is high, but base effect value is as little low compared to the hit chance. You usually want to hit your target 2-3 times. Or work together.

Apologies for missing your previous queries.

>>2457806
I write 5 hits, but any understanding of math would indicate that 4 + 2 = 6, unless you graduated from a Vanadian college.

And to catch this one as well.

3% Pierce
Jam

X% [Special] indicates that on EACH DICE ROLLED with your action, there is an X % chance that a condition triggers. For your gun, there's a 3% per dice rolled that it'll inflict [Pierce]. Pierce means that success ignores any reduction.

Jam is an indicator that if you get exceedingly unlucky, the weapon may jam, requiring a [Solve] + [GunSecret] to fix. Jam has a value, and you would need to reduce that value to 0 for the weapon to be operable again.

Lasts Gasps are a specific brand of ammo - you choose to treat them as a reload, and then until you have spent them all, they add their effect of +4 damage. Command was unclear - this is a [Rare Item], of which you have one.

It should be noted these are high grade, very rare bullets - and are not easy to come by. Fire them at your own leisure, but at that point, you're firing off your own riches.

MechaLogs absolute can craft nonexplosives. During FIGHTS, this is not so relevant (You don't have the time), but you can learn the Secrets of doing so either buy studying, finding it, being taught or, or by improvising yourself some gear by trying to combine bits, gear and intentions. Wait for a BREAK to occur - which usually happens between the murdering.

If fatigue exceeds your limits, you may indeed pass out.

Think of conditions as separete tracks, and you want none of them to exceed your limits.

If a track exceeds your limit, something awful will happen and the condition will automatically trigger.

However, tracks don't necessarily need to exceed your limits to affect you. That's where Resilience / Threshold / Reaction comes in. Sometimes, the conditions you currently have are triggered by events and then they may do stuff, depending on their value, and how much they exceed your base resistances by.

Command tracks all that. And its often more of a problem for other characters, who aren't as hardy.

For example, the Scarf Soldier who took 5 damage and 5 damage from Rictus' punches had their Resilience exceeded by both attacks by some margin. This inflicted a condition called Break, which made them drop their weapon.

If you have a choice, you want the thing with the least consequence to be the one that exceeds your limit. For instance, Wounds 18 will kill you (Wounds > Limit * 1.5 = dead). Fatigue 18 may simply knock you unconscious.

Wounds 6 could make you bleed, or slow you down. Fatigue 6 could slow you down, reduce aim, or anything. Command will note if this comes up. If you are HEAVILY WOUNDED, it may be very prudent to avoid STRENOUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY.

Lots of abilities allow you to decide how you take your incoming damage. This is where things like Rage becomes very relevant, as you can convert 14 Fatigue to 7 Fatigue / 7 Wounds, and be at little risk from either whereas having 14 Fatigue puts you at a very severe risk of fainting.

Ever stumbles from the Legion Post, dancing cadavars floating in front of their eyes, and primes a grenade. But they are TOO GRIPPED WITH TERROR to THROW IT and freeze up with the grenade in their hand.

It modifies the action by dropping dice on the roll to accomplish effects.

Curving bullets? Around corners? Sounds like the trick of some kind of ballistic magician.

Rifle 3 + Harm 3 = 6
-2 for 1 Bounce and 1 Penetration.
== 4 Dice rolled, one richochet, +1 penetration.

That is, you simply add your trickshooting to your normal roll, modifying it as appropriate.

Ranks in Bullet Wizard are essentially "free dice" that then buy those modifiers without costing you any dice in your normal roll.

So Wizard 2 would give you up to 2 free modifications on any shooting, like some sort of ball arcanist or shot sorcerer.

Wounded beyond morality by clenched fist and bullet, the legionnaire impostor falls. And reveals something odd as he does, shattered helmet ripped asunder by a rifle bullet slipping off in the collapse. This man has a tattoo that pledges him - like his peer - to service at Sunspot 3, this very station. But his pale appearance and visible, oddly coloured veins beneath near translucent skin make him out as a foreign impostor.

We ponder this mystery, how alike he is to the kin of the fallen, but then from beyond the shattered doorway into the larger facility, a voice rings out in hail.

In short order, two beleaguered Legionnaires convince us to seek shelter in the waystation proper, doors guarded by the dogs and a single surviving serviceman not yet taken by the madness entirely.

Decanus Veldspar has arrows sticking out of his armor, and the craggy beardscruff of a man days bereft of the regulation shave. His technician friend is demure and spends her time flinching at the shadows.

[Decanus Veldspar]
Voidstar and monster stars, happy to see SOMEONE finally show up! We've been inside that room for what feels like days.

These folks showed up, dragging their feet, mumbling. It came to a fight. I thought we had them on the ropes, but - look - the pale-faced, sickly ones are pushovers. But they've got friends. Tore right through our ranks. We had to make a break for it, sealed the doors of the facility behind us. Snuck out to steal supplies. Seen them dragging corpses around.

They've been growing a pet in the Legion Post.

From *my* soldiers. But they aren't all from here. They must have called in others - or gotten them when they came here. Numbers have been growing. That . . . thing . . of theirs sings sometimes. Worst part? There's more than one.

I can hear them when I sleep.

Look, we need to get out of here. But not before we burn those things proper.

I'm sorry; I can't very well offer to restock your supplies if my waystation is under foreign occupation. You help me get things under control, I'll see to it that you get as much of our remaining stores as we can fit onto your crafts.

>>2458456
Before we regrouped, some information was gleaned.

Constance-3 (and... someone else) notice that that the pair of nodes uncovered by Sidus ceased moving closer to the fracas, and pulled back. Likely they would not do this if they were not expecting this to lead somewhere. Mere deduction - and the sound of running feet and clattering metal - reveals a group of more heavily armoured foes away to the SOUTH WEST.

At a guess, at least 6 scavenged suits of armour was audible (the greaves are very distinctive).

>>2458714
Hey old ma-Mr.Comman.. What's your rank? Anyhow surely you won't mind if I pluck those arrows off your armour I wouldn't want them to go to waste! I'll clean up your suit for ye free of charge just hold still ok! Don't look at me like that give em here before somebody else takes em!

it's rather simple. Someone has something you might want to learn - or you know something they could benefit from.

You can trade.

Alas, a secret is only a secret if it is known by a few, so it involves you giving up what you know for someone else to know it.

>trade secrets to someone else, giving them your ranks or traits in return for some payment. You can also do this in-field, if you are next to someone.

>>2458843
Ah yes it would go very well with your boots yes very well indeed...

However, Jain thinks Nayle is eyeing his coat and if Jain trades that for Nayle's baubles, then the poncho is all Jain has to wear.

And with no armour, Jain would be well served being able to run away fast.

But hmm, say, fix Jain's spent blade and compensate him five bits besides and he will happily part with the poncho and throw in a ration as well! If Jain has a strong blade and training to use it, perhaps he does not need to run away so fast.

Jain did set his eyes on the lure... and not for his silky coat at all! But aha, he was right that you had your eyes on it. Or.. headlamps?

You don't seem to have many bits, if I fail the roll you might be left with none. How about you let me scrap that dull shortblade of yours for bits so we have more to work with?
