Original thread

Spoiler: acknowledgements (click to show/hide)

An Einsteinian Roulette inspired game. Character creation and some mechanics taken from that surce. Credit belongs to Piecewise, and the supportive and motley cast of players of that game.

The Stone Man speaks.

Good, good.

This is a smash and grab. Expect violent resistance. Be prepared for trouble. You have three objectives.

First and most important: The Holy Symbol of Katha. It is a copper, bronze, gold, and wooden icon, abut three feet tall, two wide, and a foot and a half or so deep. It has three arms, and a wide basin on the top for fire. it is likely to be mounted firmly to the altar in the center of the shrine. Bring that to the return point. Without it, there will be no return, and you will die there.

Second, you are to kill and destroy. The priesthood of the faith of Katha are to be eliminated, especially the Abbot, if possible. Kill anyone you find there who is not an Omega, but focus on the priests. They will typically be wearing blue and orange vestments, or dark blue acolyte robes.

Third. You will be looting as much of the valuable as you can. in particular, all articles of a religious nature. destroy what you cannot carry.

the mission has some parameters, besides the objectives:

as I have said, you will not be able to return without the icon. If you find that you cannot get it to the rendezvous, destroy it, and bring the three arms. Three of you will need to each have one of the arms in order to activate the portal.

second. you are to tell no one that you are Omega, nor of your mission. No one. Do not speak Omega's name, nor discuss Omega. You will die.

third. You will be equipped for combat. You will need it. if, by chance, you survive and return here, you will be allowed to keep the weapons and armor you wear there.

Questions?

[AkumaKasai]

What can you tell us about Katha, and why is the priesthood our enemy?
Don any armor that fits. Take a few swords and a looting sack.

[Pancaek]

"Query: what kind of resistance can we expect? Merely armed militia or something more fierce? Special magics?"

Grab some armour if there's anything that will benefit me. If there's any weapons that use magic, I'll grab one. If there's not, grab something blunt, like a staff or hammer.

[spazyak]

If Corvo the bird tries anything drink potion and focus on his mind and making his worst memories surface
if he does nothing do the following.
See if I can leave my pike here to pick up later. Find some armor that fits. If I can leave my pike look for a long sword.
If we are going to be destroying everything we can't keep and carry may I request a couple torches, rags, and bottles of highproof booze?

[Harry Baldman]

"There's something beautiful about an objective this straightforward."

Armor. Preferably mail. And also a shield suitable for someone of my stature. Strap the shield across my back for now. We're gonna have a good time. Oh, and a sling. No ammunition needed for that unless you have something explosive I can get for free.

Oh, and see if I can't get some alchemist's fire for the mission. Or, for that matter, a tanglefoot bag or three.

[Twinwolf]

Grab some armor, assuming that wouldn't interfere with magic. Make *sure* the Omega brand is covered in such a way it'd be difficult to accidentally reveal. Any scrolls lying around, or books with pre-transcribed spells?

[spazyak]

Varion looks about, peering at everyone with his odd purple eye standing out from his other dark grey eye.
"So, who all here 'ave I naught the pleasure to meet b'fore?"

[Twinwolf]

"Not sure if I met you or not. If not, I'm Ebony. Mostly focus on magic."

[Harry Baldman]

"And I'm Fiddler. I play music, do tricks. Been itching to hurt some people, last two missions were kinda sparse on that front. Luckily this should more than make up for it. Rest of you lot are from more violence-intensive missions, I gather. Good company. Excellent company, in fact."

[Pancaek]

"Statement: This one's designation is Clunkers. This one is fairly sure that you would have remembered had you met this one."

[spazyak]

Varion claps his hands,smiling brightly
"Well, glad to meet you all. M'names Varion, though some called me Corvus after some armor I used to have, Miss that old raven mask. I'm good with swords and showing people there worst side of them, I can make you experience your worst memories again and again. Quite usefull in my old line of work. Helping those in need ofit and taking down those who were making things worse. Ahhh how fun itis to do a bit of evil to evil. What of you two?"
Varion would seem almost lost in memories for a moment his hands clenching and unclenching. Before turning to clunkers
"Oh can't forget you, so, y'some kinda golem?"

[Pancaek]

"Placid reply: Contruct, golem. Potaytoe, potahtoe. Part mechanical and part magical, but all anger and loathing."

[Harry Baldman]

"Placid reply: Contruct, golem. Potaytoe, potahtoe. Part mechanical and part magical, but all anger and loathing."

"You see, that's what I like to hear. You gotta lo- wait, I remember you! Didn't you get inducted along with me? You went on the other mission, right? I got the festival, and you got the one where the corporal got her promotion."

[Egan_BW]

"CAW"
Corvo calls loudly, as if to inform everyone that it's important.
The crow spares a deadly glance at varion, before turning its gaze to the stone man. It tilts its head slightly to indicate that it barely understood a word that he said.

🐦: Wat?

[spazyak]

"Oh? So you survived the raven. Don't worry this little raven here isn't for you yet."
He taps the red silouhette of a raven on his right shoulder.
"Besides, I didmy best to help you,  but the feed back from  that demon. Well, I may well have a bit of his hunger in me. But I digress, it was a team vote. I simply honoured that vote."
