Haunt Evil Cadmilsius.
"You have made a terrible mistake."

[notquitethere]

((Is the past dracolich dead?))
((And if so... why is it still existent?))

(Yes! He's definitely not on the map any more)

((I thought you couldn't move and attack,that may have been useful to know....))

(Ah, sorry you didn't realise. A lot of the other players were moving and attacking. You have two actions per turn, and unless there are stated restrictions those actions can be any of the legal actions. You'll be back the next time the crew fight a hero, which'll probably be next encounter.)

[spümpkin]

Jones follows Past Jones, and prepares to attack him next round.

[notquitethere]

Jones follows past him, and proceeds to attack him.

(It'll take two actions to get to the Perilometer.)

[FallacyofUrist]

D. teleports to past Bones and punches him.

"YAAARRGH!"

[spümpkin]

Jones follows past him, and proceeds to attack him.

(It'll take two actions to get to the Perilometer.)

((Okay, I'll just move to the Perilometer then.))

[notquitethere]

D. waits until the rest of his allies have acted, then if past Bones has one health left, he teleports to past Bones and punches him. If past Bones has two health left, D... does nothing.

(It was stated at the beginning of the encounter that all the enemies have half their usual health, so Old Bones only has 1 health)

[Roboson]

francis has no internet right now and a cheap phone so Francis attacks any enemies who come nearby.

Battle For The Past: Round 2 - Turn 2

Jones runs over to the perilometer to do battle with himself.
But D teleports there first and punches the skeletal doppelganger, knocking his skull clean off.
In the Mausoleum, with a mighty breath Saahuhur Nsri'asri'a scours the air with his flame breath [2 dam/2 = 1] dissipating the Past Francis. He then turns to the other shade skulking in the corridor [2 dam/2 = 1] burning the Past Nik'nak into nothingness.
Present-day Nik'nak haunts the Retro Cadmilsius [1 mental], who shrieks in terror as he's banished for ten centuries.

The battle is won!

Looting Phase

Saahuhur Nsri'asri'a, Rex Lutum Sanguine, Jones, Francis, D., and Nik'nak all grow to Power Level 2. Choose a new gift/technique/etc., and double your current health (health = [power]x[size]). Rex also sprouts more bodies: there are now 4 gnomes.

As there were no heroes in this encounter, you don't gain random loot. You do, however, gain 4 bone from the Dracolich corpse, and 2 bone from the skeleton pile for a total of 6 bone.

Cadmilsius will return in 10 centuries; Remilia will return when blood is spilled on her ashes.

You might want to decide what to do about enemy ashes and skulls.

Second Launch of the Necrovoyager

After becoming trapped in a time vortex and having to do battle with desperate versions of themselves from an alternate time-line, the crew embark again, hoping to make progress this time. Unfortunately, they are still haunted by nightmare visions which make sleep impossible...

It will be 1 centuries to the next encounter.

Ongoing Effects
Nightmare Visions: Sleep is impossible until the end of next encounter.

Spoiler: Ship Inventory (click to show/hide)

Engine Room: 1 wood; Horde: 4 bone, 1 enemy phylactery urn. Perilometer: 2 bone.

You are now Travelling. Decide what you're doing for the next century. If you're not acting for a century, you will have to roll on the table of madness. Everyone who's gaining a level should decide their new power. Also, you can decide where you'd like to be when the next encounter occurs.

Sleep: Remain inactive for any number of centuries. Must be performed in an uncluttered Mausoleum (vampires) or Horde Chamber (Dracolich) by a vampire or dracolich only.

Mischief: Staves off boredom for one century, but must roll on the table of catastophe. Evil Gnomes only.

Research: Research a spell for as long as the research time takes. Researchers in the library only.

Building Build a room for as long as it takes. Must be able to access the new room. Requires acessible materials. Must not be ethereal.

Spoiler: Rooms that can be built (click to show/hide)

Apology for the poor formatting. Check the manual for nicely formatted tables.

The Necrovoyager is made up of an number of modular rooms of different sizes. During the building phase, any player may elect to build any room which they have the resources to make. Rooms must connect on to a valid door position, but otherwise can be constructed however you like. If contradictory build orders are sent in, the first one will be chosen. Players are allowed and encouraged to pool their resources and collude on building. You may build as many rooms as you afford during the travel phase.
Rooms come in three sizes:
Size Rating   Size   Durability   Armour   Normal number of doors
1   Small   2   2   4 small
2   Medium   4   4   2 medium, 4 small
3   Large   6   6   2 large, 4 medium

 A room's base cost is doubled for a large room and halved for a small room (minimum 1 for each material type rerquired). Rooms have durability and armour equal to double their size: small rooms have 2 durability, medium have 4, large have 6. Rooms take a number of centuries to produce: this is halved for small rooms and doubled for large rooms. The exception for this is buildings which can only be small or large.
Production time is divided by the number of beings working on the production (rounded up to the nearest century. Small rooms are too small for medium creatures. Medium rooms are too small for large creatures.
Rooms require amounts of metal, stone, wood, bone, or crystal to build. These are obtained from loot after encounters. Rooms are inaccessible (and cannot take damage) until they're built. Progress on a room can continue between encounters.
For a builder to work on building, they must be able to access the inside of the new room (e.g. a Dracolich can't help build medium rooms. A skeleton couldn't assist in expanding a vent).

Spoiler: Traps and Devices (click to show/hide)

You can build one trap or device in a room per room size category (so 2 in a medium room). Traps trigger on the first enemy to enter the location, devices have constant effects which enhance certain aspects of the room. The way traps trigger is like so: the first time a valid target enters a room with traps in, one trap (randomly chosen) triggers that round. On subsequent rounds, more traps may trigger (at the start of the round) if there is still a valid target in the room. So a room with two traps in will trigger both traps if two foes enter the room, but if only one enemy enters, one trap will trigger that round and the other on the next round.

You can stack multiple instances of the same trap or device in a room. Traps and devices have a production time equal to one century. Like other building projects, multiple builders can shorten the build time. Each trap has a durability. Ethereal beings won't trigger traps. Undestroyed traps may be reset for free during travel time, this takes no time but cannot be performed by ethereal beings. Each trap will only trigger once per encounter. A non-ethereal crewmember can intentionally trigger a trap.
Traps
Trap   Material Cost   Durability   Effect
Pit Trap: Spikes   2 stone, 1 wood   2   Deals 5 physical damage to medium creatures. 2 physical damage to small creatures. Large creatures are immune
Pit Trap: Nets   2 wood, 1 stone   1   Traps medium creatures. A trapped creature is immobile until the trap is destroyed. An immobile creature can only pray and cast spells (i.e. they can make no weapon attacks or move) and can be killed or taken to a Stasis Chamber after an encounter.
Flame Chutes   2 metal   3   Spurts out 8 flame damage. Requires oxygen.
Fear Shock   1 crystal, 3 bone   1   Deals 5 mental damage.
Necrosis Charm   3 bone   2   Deals 4 necrotic damage.
Boulder Trap   8 stone   8, immune to fire, half physical damage   Deals damage to the one who triggered the trap and then every other being in the room in a random order before rolling onto the next room. When creating a boulder trap, decide which way (up, down, left, right) it's orientated. The first lot of damage is 10, then 8, then 6 etc. only targeting non ethereal beings.
Teleport Trap   5 crystal   1   Will teleport the victim to another teleport trap (randomly chosen if there are more than one).
Mentacles   2 bone, 1 wood   4, immune to necrotic,double damage from holy   Can only be built in a Marsh. Deals 3 physical/mental/necrotic damage as bizarre necrotic tentacles lash out from the water
Crusher   4 metal   8, immune to fire, half physical damage   Squashes all inhabitants of a room. Triggers and deals damage at the end of the round. Deals 3 physical damage per round against everyone in the room every round for three rounds. Heroes wont enter a room which is currently crushing their allies.
Internal Instabilities   2 metal, 2 bone, 2 crystal   Immune to all damage   When triggered, the room is destroyed (all inhabitants fall into the void, along with any loot they might have had).
Enchanted Rope   2 wood   1   Only buildable in Forest or Bonegrove: a noose drops down and strangles the victim, immobilising them and dealing unsoakable 1 physical damage per round.

Devices
Devices, unlike traps, are never hidden and may be targeted by enemies on the ship if the device is particularly threatening.
Device   Material Cost   Durability   Effect
Oxygenator   2 wood, 1 metal   4   Oxygenates the room and all rooms connected to it via a vent.
Gravity Stabiliser   3 crystal, 1 metal   2   Gravity Wells have no effect on inhabitants of the room.
Coolant   2 metal, 1 crystal   3, immune to fire   Fire damage is halved in the location.
Support Struts   4 metal   10, immune to fire, take half physical damage   Room has double its normal armour rating.
Chronophage   5 crystal   3   Time is dilated in the room: inhabitants may only take one action per round. Any research or trap and devive laying in the room takes twice as long. Two Chronophages quadruple time taken, allowing one move every two rounds; three Chronophages make time 8 times slower, allowing one move every four rounds.
Torches   1 wood   1   The room is considered light with open flame (but not sunlit).
Psychic Amplifiers   5 crystal   4   Mental damage is doubled in the location.

Gain spooky trick: Deathly Chill. Supervise the removal of corpses.
"Mr. Bones, would you kindly move our Remilia into the mausoleum? Oh, and could somebody remove these... unwelcome alternatives?"

I add Magical to my breath
(Someone build something in the Horde or Mausoleum, I'll help.)

((What happened to the thing that was basically the game manual? I was thinking of making a weapon or 4 but can't find it now...))

The manual is here. (You want page 20 or so). I accidentally gave the skeleton a better weapon than he should have had (but that's OK: the starting weapon was a bit too stingy in cost). How it works: put one material for one credit. A weapon costs [damage amount] x [the cost of all its damage types added up].

Example 1: Wooden Stake: Dam 1, Physical, Material Wood: Cost 1.
Example 2: Firetoad: Dam 5, Fire, Material Flesh: Cost 10
Example 3: Enchanted Sword of Righteous Flame: Dam 2, Physical, Magical, Holy, Material Steel: cost 20

All the rooms in the ship are currently considered shady, so this functionally allows you to teleport anywhere, until people start building torches or casting light spells.
