Ah, do mind the smudges on the copy. This office was due for an update during the spring, you see.

> Executioner Job clarified.

I'm... I'm gonna SKOORM!!!

I understand Lord Strega's forested manor to be a somber place held in high esteem by many other Lords. That he cares for his tenants in his darkened woods does honour to him and his.

I shall help his cause, then. For we must form a flock against the silent night.

Clarifications to rules:
-Movement. Stepping Diagonally is allowed. Except through hard corners. When this happens , the second best direction is used.

-When Players deploy, one Comestible is used. When they return, another. And may increase one stat.

- Each house is responsible for their own, but cooperation is possible. A House representative from each team is needed. As they will likely receive secret messages.

- If the enemy is capable of counterattack , despite using a reach weapon, then your turn ends prematurely. Watch out for enemies with range or reach that isn't "slow"

- If a ranged attack is rolled MIGHT against, it will always go down by one if it isn't "dodged" with Mettle.

- Resources such as Organics , Ammo, Chemicals and so forth are stored internally in your inventory and take up little room. If your house knows how to make them, it is possible to craft it on the field !


For More Information and cooperation with your fellow hunters, visit our discord or raise discussion in thread. Both are fine.

Pausing a short distance from the apparent member of HinzerHaus claiming responsibility for the mission, the two dogs sitting at either flank of the man. He remains quiet as she makes her demanding request for scrap as well.
"Well, well. You're in charge of this rabble, hm? Guess I'm *at your service* in regards of Von Varg supplies 'n keeping mine aligned with the goals laid before them. As such, a simple request for scrap can easily be gathered." Adding under his breath, "Wish the Lordlings would at least let me know before I arrive at a place for once..."

I hear your request. Stand fast!

Templar chasseuse, I have prepared upgrades to your frame. I require an additional Scrap in order to complete the pairing. Please provide it.

We may need to correct your limb attachment, but with my Guillotine it should be no impediment.

Do you possess a preference for which leg I amputate first?

Men who fall into beastly habits find themselves blood drunk from time to time. An artifact of one's survival instincts. Sadly it is impressive you can even recall this lesson.

Listen well. While rampant blood runs through your veins you will be compelled to attack and kill until you are knocked to your senses or your might reduced to match.

Otherwise the best one can do in such a state is find themselves in the company of enemies, and away from allies.

Frenzy is most often caused by the font of might one gets from bathing in violence.

Also you fine storied men of violence. Your performance is remarkable.

I propose that should we finish our business with these wolves, you hold the gate clear of these mould-riddled canines and I close the Wolfsbane Gate.

Then we arm ourselves with the shotguns merely lying about and investigate what monstrous malignity destroyed these gates from within.

Wyld Phase.

With the veil of night cloaking over us. The yawn of the deep had barely begun as the trees swayed in an unholy dance at their approach. Run Hunters ! We know not how far in they have penetrated , and the night now serves as their black lanterns. . . .

The Trees Have begun to Move. Men 5 cubits tall bearing the sigils of Strega loom over the clearings, the fences, their noses unaffected by the barrier's protections.

This beast is new. This beast has gone unchecked. It was Strega's kin, and they have returned home from their hunt.

It was shot.

>>4849772
Between >>4844044 and >>4849740, I've moved 1E, looted a tile, then hooked and pulled away. 4 actions by my reckoning, instead of the 3 that I have. Unless the loot action includes a tile of movement when you attempt it on adjacent tiles?

We can make a clean escape (or an iffy stand, if we're enterprising) if we break down weapons for trap material. Got 2 traps' worth from Jackimov's things, and my own probably represent another 1. Bear traps lame these tree-men outright, and blast traps would blunt enemy pursuit in the SE considerably.

>>4847397
You're hemmed in with this rascal a while longer, Matilda. Head we south to more trap material and the rest of our Hoont, or west to the nearer merchant, loyalties unclear? I say we've more room for error to the west even if he won't shelter us. And three giants of the wood, all to ourselves...

Moving to tile is the only way a loot action doesn't become turn ending.

>>4850606
Were I to intentionally replicate that turn, would I need 4 actions or 3? Whatever the answer, would the it be the same if I were trapping an adjacent tile instead of looting it?

>>4850638
Adjacent Trap placement is fine.
Local looting is limited at the moment,
as item generation slows the game down.

Matilda, I may soon call on you to break down more materials as soon as I hook them over. This, assuming the coming hour does not see me flattened, hohoho...

You two, if the Leeches are insufficient I think you may need to advance into the gatehouse and hold it. It will preclude the tide of monsters to carry on through it.

Sentence Tabard, those antlered monstrosities. Is it possible for you to describe them or investigate them in detail? We may need information in the battle.

You worry me some, Herr Dieter, for I think you walk a fine balance of mayhem. I propose a most dire task:

If your frenzy beckons, could you advance *beyond* the gate and slake it on the beasts out there?
