Fetch. Driver.

I go and grab Vermis and physically haul him to the crawler, stuffing him into the pilot seat.

Edit: I'll lend razorblade my knife.

If I don't return hen then somebody stuff my soul into a terminator.

I guess get press ganged into being driver? Once I'm in the drivers seat careful ease the crawler out and crawl down to the bottom of the river. Have some one who actually has perception look around.

A technique that lets me spend mind to regain body would be like that overused trope where the hero is beaten down, but then through sheer force of resolve just continues to get up over and over again, no matter how much punishment they take.  Call it Deathless Determination or Second Wind or something.

As for action, Sifeebt just sits in the crawler boredly, staring at people from behind his creepy mask.

Could I start gathering Knoledge for a skill called "Ruthless Fury" that make it that I can sacrifice as many as four points in mind to get +5 to blast or fight per point sacrificed? I don't really know if that's balanced correctly

Nameless, could I have your old knife, since you have a machete?

Absolutely.  Life is subject to art.  Do get a rope for a lifeline first, though.
39/no sheet
You tie a rope around your waist and proceed to head out onto the surface of the machine. Of course, you forget that you probably need to actually climb carefully and instead just walk straight out the door. You tumble out into open space and the knot you made in the rope immediately pops loose, letting you fall all the way down into the river below.  You take 10 damage as you hit the water from a good 80 or so foot drop and an additional 29 as you are flung downstream, by the current, bouncing off every single possible rock on the bottom because your metal body makes it impossible to surface. After clanging across the riverbed for several minutes you tumble off a waterfall and fall another hundred feet down into a far more shallow pool and take 30 damage as you smash into water and rock. In the end you find yourself lying a few feet underwater, staring up at a rapidly flowing surface and hundreds of shimmering blue lights high above it. You're reminded of the stories you heard about the surface. Of the cave that has no roof and the shining spots that hang in the nothing.

Verne leaps into the crawler.

"GO! GO! GO! Come on, we don't have time to wait for those idiots while they make themselves platemail while we could be making money. Why bother waiting days so they can armour themselves then use our fucking bodies as additional shields for their precious lives? We're barely out of the damn station, let's get going! Does this thing have a driver?"
You pile into the crawler, squishing yourself into its sardine can seating with the rest.

Welcome to DIG! Otherwise known as "Countdown till Builder genocide"

You can assume you start in the bunk room.

Make sure the door is sealed before we set out.

Spoiler: Vokun Kaaz (click to show/hide)
You pull the hatch closed just as soon as the driver is in and make triply sure it actually seals. Drowning in a metal box is not your idea of a fun time.


Fetch. Driver.

Through a series of none too subtle threats and a good deal of shoving, one of the builders is pushed out of the work room and into the crawler, with instructions to "Drive the thing!"

76/90

And so he does. The crawler's descent is far from smooth or comfortable; its pile driver feet shake the whole cabin as they land and embed themselves in the stone. When it moves quickly, the machine shakes like a paint mixer, and much of the way down this motion is done at a 90 degree angle as it descends the wall. By the time they reach the bottom the passengers have new welts from bouncing around in their seat harnesses and accidently kicking each other in the shin. In the river the ride smooths out a bit, and soon Tony brings the machine to a stop, huddled down on the bottom.

"Oi, someone with good eyes, get up here and navigate."

Fair. Hows 2 mind for 1 body do ya?

+20 for a roll and only giving up 4 points seems pretty OP honestly. Especially if you have a lot of mind. I don't know how much you have though.

Nameless remains seated, unless none of the others venture forward to navigate. If none do, Nameless will grab whoever seems most observant and none too subtly start shoving them forward toward the cockpit.
((I knew find would be important. well, best we got is a guy with 40 find))

Get the hint and help navigate.

Got it, how about we double the cost to 2 mind per +5 skills, so to get the +20 I have to sacrifice 8 mind. Also, I have 25 mind, which is pretty low

Help with the spotting if possible

Verne looks around for treasure, hostiles, the source of the glowing he saw earlier, where the river goes, and anything else, shoving people out of the way until he has the best view in the crawler.

((Verne has maximum find, guys))
