Elite cavalry eh? Okay mr. fancypants, since you didn't specify a mount, We'll roll for it again. (5) You come flying in on an armored Space Pteranodon, with spacesteel claws and a set of dumb rockets under it's wings - three under each wing, along it's flank. You wield a n electrolaser lance which can fire lightning from the tip, and an elephant gun capable of taking down ... space elephants, of course. (2) you snatch a few of the Other Guys
Tm up into the air and drop them like clams to the ziggurat below. All three of the remaining guard towers (the ones on the west side) start shooting in your direction. (4) hah! You laugh in the face of such pathetic marksmanship.

If not: Scream louder than noise, then squeeze harder than I'm screaming.
Nah, he's in a different room. You fell in on the west, he fell in on the east.
(4)(6) You roar the battle cry of the Mighty Grunts of Yore and squeeeeeeeeeeze until -snap- the thing goes limp and you chuck it to the floor. You look around and see two exits from this room - the door into the things cage, and a closed door to elsewhere. it's probably locked.

"That worked out well. Let's see if we can help someone else."
Find a couple other soldiers, aid them as necessary. Fire gun at The Other GuysTM if nobody else is near enough to assist.
(2) "Hey, guys? hello? Anyone" You poke curiously at a couple corpses, and kick a loose limb into a puddle. then you tag along with Sn005 toward the northwest tower. (5) a body comes, literally screaming out of the sky, to land with a wet thud at your feet. Looks like one of The Other Guys
TM. He isn't moving.

"Don't try nothing funny now." Wonder if that stuff around us is supposed to be on fire.
You play a dangerous game. Officer, hah! You aren't even an NCO yet, though if you survive this one with prisoners you may well be. Well, let's roll that evil gloat shall we? (6) you ham it up, cackle maniacally, and shoot one of your captives in the face. That'll show 'em. it's only after this that you remember your Diplomacy Trraining Course, titled "We Are Not The Evil Empire, and Neither Should You!"
(3) your grunts look a little unnerved at that, but they remain on guard, and the captives don't run away or try to overpower you. Mostly they just cry.
Zii009, platoon 3 "Gunbane"
Unit Type: Soldier
Inventory: gun, helmet, military backpack, military headset, Body armor, experimental serum.
Status: Serious Wound
Character Trait: Mutant, fear of heights, Jumping legs (jump straight up about twenty feet, or forward about fifty)
Achievements: Friendly Fire: Victim
Loot the corpses of the other guys and the closet you need weapons (and medicine and a new armor and more experimental serums but weapons are the most important now.)
(5) You walk out of the closet, wiping gore from your hands with a fresh towel, and casually strip a weapon out of a cold dead hand. It's a pretty good rifle. looks powerful. You got an Armor Piercing rifle! You set it aside and cut a guy out of his armor, which you then wear yourself. You got 1 layer of armor! almost as an afterthought you pick up a helmet.
(5) There's nothing here to kill you.
Pork002
Platoon: 3
Wounds: Serious (Patched Up)
Health: Slightly Grumpy. Bad Taste in Mouth, Maimed
Stuff: Gun, backpack, chewed gum
Skills: Shooter (Next Respawn)
OW! Keep shooting while yelling like Sly Marbo. Channel my pain into rage. Call a medic over and swear profusely at him if he refuses.
(Exactly what do i do to gain perks/classes? Also what does a shooter mean?)
You gain perks mostly by either notable successes, or by amusing the GM somehow. Sometimes it helps to campaing for it. Just nudge me a little and go "hey, maybe I cold get a CP (Character Point) for doing the thing in such a comical way?" it helps if you have a suggested CP, like "I didn't do it" for passing the blame on to someone else, or "kicks like a mule" for knocking down a door with your face (or feet. Whatever).
A shooter is a grunt who uses a long rifle and has better aim at distances. it's a step below a sniper in the class tree. I think I'll take some time and actually organize said class tree, now that we are getting more and more people moving up the branches. Shooters get stronger weapons than standard grunts and I think I gave them one layer of armor as well.
(1) you drop your gun into the swamp and spend the round feeling around for it. there it is! No ... that's a log. There! You pull it up by the butt. Needs cleaned before you fire it again.
(1) you got so distracted by that log you forgot to holler for a medic.
(1) Space Jesus H. Christ! Some kind of lizard thing rears up from the swamp right in front of you and bites you in half. Neither half survive this mastication.
Platoon: 3
Designation: Hat010
Unit type: Assault Gunner
Health: Serious Wound
status: [clamped]
inventory: submachine gun, helmet, backpack, gum.
character points: The ten yard stare, Wrangler
character traits: -
achievements: Mission complete: Antibrick takedown.
rank: private
Shoot the thing, or bash it in the face with my gun if that proves too awkward with one available arm.
(5) (3) you place the shooty part of the laser against the thing's head and fire. It takes it's head apart, and your hand with it. upgrade your serious wound to a maim. You shake the slobber off your arm and look around. That door looks barricaded, and that hole looks like a den. ugh.
Platoon:1
Designation:Zr009

Health: Healthy
Inventory:Gun. Shotgun. Helmet. Armor. Backpack. Gum. Playing cards.
Character Points: "Honor", "Follows Orders", "In the Shadow of Giants"

I found a deck of cards! Now pull out my shotgun and get inside.
A deck of Cards? You sly bastard. this could be interesting. You head inside. the first floor is clear, so are you going up, or down?
Pork002
Platoon: 3
Wounds: Serious (Patched Up)
Health: Slightly Grumpy. Bad Taste in Mouth, Maimed
Stuff: Gun, backpack, chewed gum
Skills: Shooter (Next Respawn)
OW! Keep shooting while yelling like Sly Marbo. Channel my pain into rage. Call a medic over and swear profusely at him if he refuses.
(Exactly what do i do to gain perks/classes? Also what does a shooter mean?)
After dying 5 times (your sixth incarnation) or completing an objective, you unlock the basic classes. Certain other bonuses can be gained through receiving character points and traits, which the GM hands out for completing special actions and the like.
At least, that's how I think it works, correct me if I'm wrong.
hat's roughly correct. At sixth incarnation you can upgrade to corporal, which means you can boss around two other Grunts, as well. I'm thinking after this battle I might take some time and actually organize this stuff. I didn't really expect this game to become so popular or to evolve this much.
Platoon:3
Designation: HC006
Unit type:Electrolaser Heavy Grunt

Status:More sturdily built than your average grunt.

Fix bayonet, charge! Drink a glass of water, cause all that screaming really takes it out of you, ya know what i mean?
Fix bayonet! Charge with reckless abandon.
(2) you guys drop your backpacks and rifle through them looking for the bayonets. (6) meanwhile grunt one takes a chug of water from his canteen. (1) and fire from the Other Guys makes you all take cover rather than charge. that went ... not well
(1)(4)(2)HC006 loses his layer of armor, and grunt 2 is maimed.
Well, at least you have your bayonets fixed, and are ready for the charge next round.
Instructions:
Respawn wherever you like, up to wherever combat is happening. just not in places still held by The Other Guys
