Trenchers takes place in a loosely connected universe. You may have seen some threads before - they are not required reading.

What's happening here?

You, yes you, take the boots and bullets of in a magitech showdown between warring states, trying to accomplish your missions while avoiding gods, death cults, machinations, machines and the weird shadow creatures that want to eat the sun. It's a hard life in the Trencher Corps, but at the end of the day, you'll die a hero! Or. Or just die. That's pretty likely.

The system is 3d6 roll under. Lower is better for you. To roll dice, type dice+3d6 in the options field. You want a group of 3d6 for every discrete action you take. Firing at two targets? Roll 6d6. If you're a Coordinator, then one order is an action. If you're a Trencher or a Pilot or something else, it'll be a bit different.

It helps to list your stats and what you are trying to do!

>Fire at the hostile pathfinders by that rock (12 Acc)

The system is modular and flexible. If you want to TRY TO DO SOMETHING, maybe you're just the sort of badass who can pull it off. List the stat doing the work, because it REALLY DOES MATTER.

>Shove this guy into a pit (4 Grit)

Actions consume 1 AP or whichever is listed. It's best to consider that nothing here is ever /free/ unless you're very lucky.

In case you want some more reading, there's now a Field Manual that covers things.

As a Pilot, your job is to draw enemy fire, be a forward scout and rallying point and to apply heavy munitions to soft targets.

Piloting takes a bit of a deft touch because these old chassis are not the easiest of equipment to manage. If you can make them dance, you can outfight entire fireteams and run circles around the heavier Pytherii vehicles. If you can't then you will soon find yourself on foot, running from a wrecked vehicle, avoiding gunfire.

If you're keen to strap yourself into what R&D describes as a "walking explosives accident waiting to happen", you may attempt to utilise our new Weapons, Exploration & Bombardment units. R&D told me to tell you in the briefing that if the little red light in the upper half of the cockpit starts blinking, hit the ejector seat.

It should be noted that all Infantry carry Multi-Tools, which can be used to repair superficial structural damage to your vehicle. Your armaments can be used to inflict structural damage to the enemy. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Note that the hookshot - like all actions with no listed cost - consume 1 AP. You will need to reel it back in after use (1 AP).

As either Trenchers or Coordinators, your task is to be the boots on the ground and the pinpoint source of violence in the storm.

Trenchers benefit from specialised training and a . . . unique . . . talent that allows a lateral approach to hostile situations.

Coordinators have a direct line to Command and benefit from being surrounded by a squad of loyal(?) competent(??) troopers. You might not be good at magic or have benefited from the gruelling Advanced Urban Assault Course command offers to people who think a six on one fight is a nice warmup, but you do have a radio-link to the artillery section and a dedicated off-map support group. So you've got that going for you, which is nice! Note that ally elements certainly do count as "actives", so if you find a lay-about gang of Riflemen you're expected to shout at them to get things done too.

When everything is going wrong and the world is buckling at the seams, you can usually blame local resonance specialists. Your job as a thaumatheurgical operative is to deflect, defray or destroy hostile thaumatheurgical operations and work your own.

Your Channeling Array allows you to attune to local elements and wield them, while long study of odder things might allow you to speak the Old Words. And that... has some benefits.

You either manipulate elements around you, or get tricky. It should be noted that if you just want to "harm" someone, the best magical device to learn to use is the wonderful invention called a gun. Simply trying to harm or kill people by hitting them with lots of force is usually going to get you bad return on investment. Bullets work better. Magic is a subtle kind of thing.

But if you want to bend a rock to your will to turn it into a prowling wolf with obsidian claws and granite blood to sent it hunting against those that would harm you, well, for that kind of thing a gun just won't cut it.

It should be noted if you conjure up a particularly impressive kind of invocation, you might want to SUSTAIN IT with 1 AP per TURN. And of course if you have any questions about how to bend reality to your will, the TAs are standing to start screaming incoherently about your awesome prowess.

>Gear can usually be spent on a turn by turn basis to be turned into 1d6 effect of grenades and other useful items.

Pilot Rick, the engineers would make the reasonable counter-claim that "grenades" are not "missiles". To modify a Vehicle, they recommend Experimental Systems. Putting on a helmet might make you feel safer but it does very little when you are inside a mech.

The best we can do at this stage is wire up some more SPECIALS, some MUNITIONS or some extra PLATE.

It's been a few weeks since I last saw any action, and with the reformation of Fireteam Steel, a name I'm starting to resent, We're all itching to get into action. We've received a few new faces, including Coordinator Felicia, a really, really weird one, Trencher Sheet, and a few others. As of this moment, Fireteam Steel is no more, and Taking it's place is Fireteam Hydra. Where one hero falls, two more shall rise to the occasion. For Vanadia, For the Homeland!

Roll vs 11 to use features grown this way or your skills, if better.

You take -1 per change you are already sustaining, but you can let go of features with a Change or 1 AP.

The current stat. When you Roll vs Focus or it is used as a conditional, its current level is used.
This is why Trenchers can regain Focus rapidly by achieving objectives. But it also means that if you burn your Focus to +AP and or +hit, you are "drawing on" your ability to perform the stranger tricks.

Miha binds the twirling air into a field that shimmers faintly around the soldiers as others prepare barricades and raise the hallowed standard high.

Pytherii Faithful Legio pour from the shadows to take up battle stations at their sandbags and their trenches.

> 4 MP, 3AP, 5 Actives || Coordinator Samson had noticed two peculiarities. Firstly, that the artillery shells take a full turn to reach their target. This implies that, despite travelling at high speeds at launch and descent the period between those two points, the peak of the arc, involves a considerable amount of deceleration. Secondly, the impacts of the artillery had not merely been a burst of force and a shower of earth conducive with a high velocity blunt impact, but rather an legitimate explosion, leading the Coordinator to believe that the shells were not solid chunks of metal, but rather a more volatile species of ordinance. With these points in mind, Samson deemed it reasonably plausible for Fireteam Axolotl to counteract the incoming artillery.
No harm in trying. || Target: 12+5+4+3, Effect: +10 || {Fire the MG upon the shell projected to land on the hex @ [5x2], [6x1]. Begin attempting to intercept the artillery shell's trajectory once it draws within 12 hexes of Fireteam Axolotl.}

Pilot Rick, that SysLink unit has no link at all through the rock. Good attempt, however. but if you want o try and breach their systems you are going to need to be within line of effect.

We've deployed Fireteam Blue Otter as you requested. They've been given orders to advance up and through the smoke cover.

Their Sergeant is expressing a little doubt about the capability of his men to quietly sneak past an entire detachment of Pytherii Eagle Guards. But they'll give it their best shot!

Trencher Sheet twists and roils as their bones snap and replace. It is rather painful. From the old rocks they pull a weighted hunk of metal, something sharp and old and oddly light, but it is a little hard to grasp in hand when the phalange structure in Sheet's hands insist they need a sixteen finger bodyplan.

Specialist Miha climbs out of the water and near loses their lunch...

Trencher Jura arrives and ducks into a nearby patch of shadow, then the deeper waters, quiet as a ghost. The waters here are blisteringly cold as if the heat of every drop was being forcefully extracted. It is like swimming through liquid ice.

Trencher Jura feels the cold worm its long fingers into their bones - but the water flitters with shadow-specks too, and at least, they are not an unfamiliar cold. No harm yet.

Trencher Secret is quietly minding their own business when a Legio with a sword runs an exoplating arm into their face. The polite meeting of national spirits turn into a brawl rather quickly.

--

Trencher Sheet feels their liquid bones attempt some measure of solidity. Okay, so the uniform doesn't quite fit any more but this is rather useful. And what odd treasure did we scavenge from these broken ruins? This thing is sharp as nightmares and light as a sunrise. Who... left it here?

Fireteam Kitty takes suppressive fire from a Support Frame, but their heavy earthworks and prepared defenses soak most of the fire. The reinforcements from Fireteam Blue Otter are less lucky. Casualties abound.

Some soldiers are too damn hard to die. Eagles on special orders, these are the House of Faith and Devotion.

They appear to have been given strict orders to ensure no access to the Unity Facility.

Find a way through them, Trencher.

It looks as if their Insignia is a Unity Swarmling in front of the Empyreal Flame. That is disconcerting, for who would put their own religious iconography behind something else? Something in this place is curious and astray. We know from our advance so far that not all the Theurges serve the flame with complete reverence. We may need to keep an eye out for divisions in the ranks...

TRENCHER PHASE

>>3726090
How do I do an emergency extraction?

With Trencher Jura watcing, the struggling breachers of Fireteam Kitty are speared down in the trench by the shift of the Eagle Guards. The gas, shells, bombardment, mg fire, bullets, grenades and legio swords on top are so much more insult.

With stoic mean, the Eagles begin to shift back to re-form their phalanx around the the facility passage.

None say a word.

Int Sec suggests the wild optimism that implies that Pytherii soldiers with a mission are so automata-like in their rigidity that they will not stab you in the back when you are within spear reach is perhaps too optimistic. Even for Vanadian troopers.

You made a Bond with the Other. It bleeds through you. Gain a Threshold stat of 3.

Within a field that spans your THRESHOLD you may disconnect cause and effect.
Consequences must happen, but they don’t have to happen in the natural order of things.
1 AP connects one action to another cause/effect. This can chain, but no more than Threshold chains.

Roll vs Focus to Disjunct things entirely, suspending a consequence until released for 2 AP. Max Threshold consequences held at once.

Except that "dying" may be a consequence but "a status of -5 HP" is merely the way things are.

I mean I didn't say 'bring them back to life' just. Kill enemy.
