PROLOUGE, TURN 6:
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.
MANRAGE my way through my foe while continuing with the original plan of blasting Gamerlord's head off. Damned traitor.
Finish off the psychopathic monster by emptying the gun in his face and then stabbing as needed.
[6+1][6]
Sean and Immo' Joe charge at each other, each fuelled by their determination to right what they see as wrong, each battered and sore, but unwilling to rest until they succeed.
They meet... and are blown back from each other as one weapon misfires, sparking the gunpowder in the next one, which in turn starts a chain reaction which makes the two of them look like a massive firecracker.
They both suffer 10 damage and fall unconscious!
EVERYONE ELSE SUFFERS 5 DAMAGE!Fire a shell into Sean's kneecap. Or head. So long as it stops him.
[1] You get knocked off your feet as they set off a massive explosion, and lose a further 1 damage.
Run.
(GAMERLORD! WE ALMOST HAD THE TANK ON OUR SIDE!)
[3] You wait for a lull in the fire fight- there is no way you're running through that storm of bullets.
Work on something that'd make things less chaotic, such as a device to prevent gunpowder ignition at range.
[2] You find a bucket full of grenades.
Accept the terms.
Gotta lay low after a rampage, two birds with one stone...
(('Lay low'? Good luck.))
[5] You manage to wrangle some better terms- he'll give you 1000
Wadōkaichin to stock up on your arsenal.
[4] The Villagers take advantage of the guards being knocked over by the shockwave and deal a further 19 damage.
[2] The Guards are still recovering from the blast!

Character Sheet
Name: The Immortal Joe Bridger
Health:8
Armour:10
Wealth: 500 Wadōkaichin
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)
Name: Alexander McDougall
Health:20
Armour:30
Age: 25
Wealth: 1500 Wadōkaichin
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.
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)
Name:Claus D'Aurum
Health:33
Armour:9
Age: 48
Wealth: 500 Wadōkaichin
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 ChargeArmour: Light
Character Sheet
Name: Willard Barnim Wollin
Age: 25
Health:46
Armour:9
Wealth: 500 Wadōkaichin
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
