"In my opinion, it would be more bad to be DEAD, mate!"

[IcyTea31]

"Yes, it would. That is why we don't want anyone to be bad right now. The rules apply to eveyone, friend!"

[TalonisWolf]

((Updated map with location of Khabi. Now you know where you are, more or less.

  You can thank a friend for the Drunk Villager at the bottom. It was to good an idea to pass up.

@Remuthra:Your Gun fires "various ammo". Can you please specify what type of round you're trying to fire? Otherwise I'll make it up.))

[Gamerlord]

Start killing the guards. Wazikashi in one hand, gun in the other.

[Remuthra]

((@Remuthra:Your Gun fires "various ammo". Can you please specify what type of round you're trying to fire? Otherwise I'll make it up.))

((A high explosive round, please, if possible.))

[TalonisWolf]

  Bara Suto Dangan(ブラスト弾丸)- On impact, flint and steel mechanism sparks, setting off an explosion which will wreak havoc on those poor souls within.

[smurfingtonthethird]

Activate rage mode. Kill the Oshin. Violently.

Murdering kids, huh?

((Ragevoice FTW))

[Wwolin]

Willard widens his grin a little bit and fires his shotgun into the air to draw attention to himself before holding up his sack of explosives and shaking it menacingly.

"Hey, could everyone here calm down just a bit so I don't have to bring the roof down on us? I'm a fan of settling things the peaceful way, but I figure if we have to do things violently I may as well show you all up and kill everybody in the room. Now, if you'll just hear me ou-"

While the guards are (hopefully) distracted by his threats, Willard fires the remaining shell of his shotgun at one of the guards. Or one of the villagers. Doesn't really matter to an arbitrary fellow like him, so long as he picks a side that he can argue for.

"True that, my friend. The peaceful wa- WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! It seems I will have to protect myself from the bad people..." In addition to previous actions, brandish my combat wrench.

PROLOUGE, TURN 1:

Spoiler: Khabi (click to show/hide)

Khabi

Description: Khabi was a former stronghold for Kada Raiki a decade ago, but fell to Oshin Toko during the start of the Sulphur Campaign.

  The local populace holds great disdain for Oshin, and have attempted to rebel against him to no avail. Oshin has since doubled his military presence at this militarily significant
settlement- it is quite close to some valuable sulphur deposits. There is open mistreatment by the occupiers towards the local people, who in turn strike back in whatever way they can.

  The presence of local bandits, many of whom were once local inhabitants, has only added to the tension.

Prosperity: (2) Dirt: Nothing for sale, nobody has what they need (if that). Unskilled labour is cheap.

Population: (4)Growing: More people than buildings.

Defences: (6)Battalion: There is a major military presence here, and the stead has maintained defenses.

Resource: This stead has easy access to sulphur, however, Oshin has maintained strict control over this resource.

Trade: Oshin has taken control over this towns trade, and they receive the basic necessities and commodities in return for valuable Sulphur shipments.

Joe looks up at the sound of fighting.

I hear the sound of MANLY COMBAT AFOOT! TO ARMS!

Charge the villagers, firing a shell to soften them up.

[4]You fire a shell into their midst!

[2]It lands admist the villagers!
[6] It kills the drunk and inflicts 15 damage to all the villagers and Creed!
[1] They manage to avoid being shellshocked.
The Captain nods to you gratefully. "Thanks for the hand."

"Oh, crap."

Run. Get on the rooftop of a nearby building if possible, and start taking down guards.

[3] You make it to the roof, but then Claus gets in the way...

Get out of the crossfire, start talking: "Hey, violence is bad. It causes death, which is also bad. You wouldn't want to be bad, would you?" EDIT: Also, let the guard go.

[1] You are hit by Sean, losing 7 armour!"In my opinion, it would be more bad to be DEAD, mate!"
"Yes, it would. That is why we don't want anyone to be bad right now. The rules apply to eveyone, friend!"

Start killing the guards. Wazikashi in one hand, gun in the other.

[4]You attack the guards! [2]The guard blocks the Wazikaashi, but is shot by the pistol, dealing 5 damage!

Activate rage mode. Kill the Oshin. Violently.

Murdering kids, huh?

((Ragevoice FTW))

You feel your rage boil over at the thought of such a thing! The Berserker has been released!

[5] You attack the captain, sticking a Chakra charge on his back! He is shocked unconcious, losing 10 health to the attack! "Hey! No one picks on the captain but me!"

[1] They attempt to fire upon you, but miss!

Willard widens his grin a little bit and fires his shotgun into the air to draw attention to himself before holding up his sack of explosives and shaking it menacingly.

"Hey, could everyone here calm down just a bit so I don't have to bring the roof down on us? I'm a fan of settling things the peaceful way, but I figure if we have to do things violently I may as well show you all up and kill everybody in the room. Now, if you'll just hear me ou-"

While the guards are (hopefully) distracted by his threats, Willard fires the remaining shell of his shotgun at one of the guards. Or one of the villagers. Doesn't really matter to an arbitrary fellow like him, so long as he picks a side that he can argue for.

[4] Everyone halts in their tracks, uncertain as to if you'll actually carry out your threat. So when you fire off the shotgun, well... the looks on their faces are priceless. You deal 9 damage to one of the villagers!

"True that, my friend. The peaceful wa- WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! It seems I will have to protect myself from the bad people..." In addition to previous actions, brandish my combat wrench.

[2] Your grip on th wrench slips, wacking you in the head and dealing 2 damage!

Name: Creed

Health:45

Armour:10

Age: 32

Description: Creed is a sniper in the army of the Unstable Regions, famous for downing 5 men at a distance of 300 meters. Whether that's true or just hyperbole, Creed'll never say. He has no last name, and has no need of one. He never had a family. And he never misses.

Abilities:
Deadeye-More likely to hit on targets.
One With His Surroundings-Better Stealth, less likely to be detected.
Cold Eyes-Has a chance of causing the target to hesitate, missing an action. Can only be used SUCCESSFULLY once every 5 turns, and is only successful on a five.

Arms: KA-BAR style knife, balanced for throwing. Throwing knife.
5-Round Bolt Action Scoped Rifle (She's called Betsy, bozo.)[Rifled, more accurate but less of an impact.]
Ammo; Four Clips (Five rounds each), 1 Clip (Four rounds)

Spoiler: Sean(Gamerlord) (click to show/hide)

Character Sheet

Name: Sean

Health:50

Armour:20

Age: 19

Description: Thin, wiry build. Face covered in short stubble, both beard and head. Ritualistic scarring up both arms and a tattooed sigil depicting a crossed tanto/wakizashi and pistol.

Abilities/Skills: Honed Reflexes-Modifier on quick reactions and close quarters.

Ronin-As a former Samurai, you aren't slowed down as much by armour. +1 on actions which require speed and mobility.

Armour: Medium

Spoiler: The Immortal Joe Bridger(Remuthra) (click to show/hide)

Character Sheet

Name: The Immortal Joe Bridger

Health:50

Armour:40

Age: 86

Description: A muscled old man in a wifebeater and a pink bathrobe-like kimono. He has an amazing wizard beard. His very presence glows with the epitome of MANLINESS. Others are merely men, but he is a MAN! Side affects of being a MAN may include action movie poses, impeded Austrian accents, and excessive sweat. Do not try to be a MAN while pregnant or nursing. Consult your MANACOLOGIST to see how being a MAN might affect you.
Abilities/Skills:
Take it like a MAN!-Joe's incredible resolve allows him to shrug off wounds which would kill or maim lesser men. He is therefore rather resistant to damage, even without armor.
CHAAARGE!-Working himself into a rage, Joe can MANCHARGE blindly forward at fast speeds, knocking aside whatever gets in his way.
MANSTRENGTH!-Joe's MANLINESS gives him incredible strength. This is mostly used to lift things or punch really hard.

Arms: Heavy Explosive Jars, Heavy Dragonheart Rifle with various ammo[Smoothbore,less accurate but packs a punch], Iron Fists with flint and steel impact activated explosive charges.

Armour: MANLY JUGGERNAUT PLATING! (Ultra Heavy)

Spoiler: Alexander McDougall(smurfingtonthethird) (click to show/hide)

Name: Alexander McDougall

Health:50

Armour:40

Age: 25

Description: Father and mother were sulphur miners, killed in an earthquake. Left parentless and penniless, he turned to a life of crime and mercenary work to support himself. Eventually paid off his dues, and he now stands a free man with a new identity, but he has the shadow of his old life behind him.

Abilities/Skills:

Experienced-Knows how to handle crazy situations, as he's been in plenty of them. He also knows how to handle his way around weapons, and has a stack of black market connections.
More likely to make unsavoury connections, but at the cost of being wanted by people in high places. Watch out for attentive militias!

Berserker-In a rage, his endurance and strength is inhuman, allowing him to send his favoured hammer flying into his enemies quickly and mercilessly. Will fall back to this mode if an innocent woman or a friend is under attack. +1 to all rolls for three turns, two turns to recharge.

1/3 turns until the rage boils over!

Pickpocket-His life of destitution and criminal tendencies has given him the experience to pick the pockets of random passers by.

Arms: Shoulder mounted clockwork machine gun (SMCM) with a shitton of ammo, trusty explosive sledgehammer, electrical chakra powder charges (think powder charges that start off an arc of electricity).

Armour: Ultra heavy (is this comparable to like wearing a massive armor suit?)(Think inch thick slabs. Since their armour is based around RL ceramic armour,  it isn't as heavy as you'd think)

Spoiler: Claus D'Aurum(IcyTea31) (click to show/hide)

Name:Claus D'Aurum

Health:41

Armour:10

Age: 48

Description: A rather twitchy clocksmith. Likes fiddling around with complex things.

Abilities/Skills:
  Clocksmithing-Bonus to creating and maintaining complex, mechanical devices, especially clocks.
  Kitbash-Great increase to item creation speed for a while, enough to make it practical in combat.
  Sharpened Vision-Hours looking at tiny gears must have paid off. Bonus to perception, including aiming ranged weapons.

Arms: Combat Wrench, Clockwork Rifle, Throwable Powder Charge

Armour: Light

Spoiler: Willard Barnim Wollin(Wwolin) (click to show/hide)

Character Sheet

Name: Willard Barnim Wollin

Age: 26

Description: Willard's a fit and wiry young man brown hair and eyes, whose most defining features are his missing left hand and his ever so slightly crooked smile, which he seems to have on his face no matter what the situation may be.

Abilities/Skills:

Optimism: Willard can count the number of times he's ever gotten really upset on one hand. Hell, he can do it on his missing left hand. He's so goddamned upbeat that he can even ignore crippling injuries for a short period of time, although in the long run they hurt him just as badly as they would anyone else. Is less likely to experience shellshock, and can ignore otherwise crippling injuries for a time.

Silver Tongue: When you've only got one hand, reloading's a real pain in the ass. Fortunately, Willard's learned that a clever lie and a smile can be just as good as a gun at times, and even when someone's beyond negotiating with, he can swear at them for as long as it takes for him to load another bullet and settle things by force.

Arms: A sawed-off shotgun [Smoothbore] Ammo:14
 
Sack of dynamite Refined Demolition Gunpowder for when things get tough.

Armour: Light

[Gamerlord]

Charge this 'Joe' psychopath. What the fuck is wrong with this monster?

[Remuthra]

Punch this Sean terrorist in the face with an exploding fist. What's his problem with a little enforcing authority?

[Gamerlord]

((What the fuck Remuthra I thought you were a good guy! Why are you helping the oppressors who kill children?))

[Remuthra]

((What the fuck Remuthra I thought you were a good guy! Why are you helping the oppressors who kill children?))

((As a MANLY and INATTENTIVE character, I don't really pay attention to who's fighting who and pick a side at random.))

[Playergamer]

"Shrapnel armor, oh how I love you. I'll feel the pain later, but right now, it's time for business."

Start putting rounds in the guards, in this order: Guard 2, Guard 3, Guard 1

(Remuthra, it would be ok, except... YOU MURDERED THE DRUNK!)
