He said, casually doubling the amount of enemies on the map 

Incidentally, this brings the original ratio guard:slave up to 12:21. Those slaves must be pretty formidable to warrant so many armed guards. All the better for us...

[Pancaek]

"Glorious Revolutionary Capitalist Vanguard successfully recruited." Abu reported proudly, giving his best salute (which was still pretty poor by any standards).
"So, should we follow after them and give them cover, or shall we leave them be and approach the enemy from another angle, si- I MEAN SARGE?"

"Outstanding work convincing the savages, Abu. I'm sure the sheer capitalistic fervour will protect our new meat from the pinko bullets. We will provide them with covering fire from a nominal distance."

Als move to the left along the outside of the building, hugging the wall. Fire upon the guards in the tower if I have a shot, or really any guard that I have a shot at.

Name: Gunnery Sergeant James Murphy

Description: A big bull of a man, with a square jaw and a patriotic twinkle in his eye. He enjoys swearing and giving people under his command a hard time.

Somehow managed to catch the second plane to 'Nam to fight the commies, even though he was aiming to be on the first. This left him slightly bitter. Then he got teleported to this world of mystery and magic. This doesn't change matters much, Charlie just a look a little different 'round these parts.

Description: A grand-grand-grand-grandson of a forgotten composer of ages past, Kay thinks he is enamored with the music of his ancestor and that his legacy is to live up to those heroic stories of old. Sadly, he doesn't know that most of it is presently misattributed, and the rest is utterly mangled by vagaries of time, not to mention that he isn't really cut out for that kind of life. Still, he has one sick guitar solo.

Curse, and retreat back away from Raven.  Hopefully she'll stay down, and if she doesn't, well, Corven prolly can't save her anyway.

If the slaves are having trouble getting into the tower, enchant the door or a section of the wall with "Ammunition", to destroy it, and enter.  If they're doing fine on their own, charge in behind them.  Either way, I want to end the turn inside, with the slaves.

Description: An older man past his prime, Corven still carries himself with the intimidating aura you'd expect from a crime boss... except when he's dealing with his daughter, who he's completely incapable of saying "No" to.  That usually works out better than you'd expect, since he managed to get her the formal education he never had, though he still has wisdom on her.  Has something of an unhealthy obsession with birds, though not nearly as much so as his daughter.

((I think the guard tower is in the upper-right corner of the map, just above where Nik is right now (those 4 grey boxes are the guard tower 'legs'). I think that's way too far away from you to get there in one turn, no?))

Sneak into charge range (i.e. close enough to close in and attack in melee next turn, assuming stationary target and that I don't have enough speed to reach them this turn). Try to hide behind corners (of the warehouse, or those ?crates? to the north) until it is time to attack.

The things to the north are the legs of a guard tower, the tower currently raining fire down on your teammates. You continue to sneak up on the guard and get dang close to him. Next turn he'll be wide open.

Raven motions to the nearest slave from the ground.
_{^{"Hey dude. Would you be a dear and shoot that dude who shot me with my rifle. I would do it myself, but I'm a lousy shot."}}

Convince a nearby slave to grab my gun and use it to shoot the guy who shot me. Reminder that my pot roll to make those was an 8, on a 2-word spell. Which if I'm not mistaken means the bullets are [pot+6], and thus super fucking powerful.

Also she is obsessed with birds.

The edges seem the best; the combination of acid and distortion dust are eating away the middle and side of the room but the edges are still sound, or at least as sound as they can be.  And you're basically up against one edge so this is about as good as you can get.

Move out from under the collapsing structure: Move to 04, 10. Examine the melding wood and stone from afar. What is happening there?

You step back out of the way and look up. If you had to guess, someone just used "Dust" and its currently eating through the damn floor via randomizing interactions.
[3][1]

Your spell produces a creature much like the one used by your gang leader, but only slightly larger than a house cat. It sits there on its haunches for a moment, eyeless face scanning as it licks its lips with a black metal tongue. Then it promptly stands up, stretches, and takes off at an even trot, completely ignoring you and everything else, disappearing  around one of the gate doors. Hmm.

Thag gets up, manages to shake off the pain and dash through the darkness without falling down the ladder. He emerges on the other side of the darkness and attempts to drive his chip of stone straight into the man's forehead. [3v4] The man sees it coming and backpedals, the sharp stone hissing pass and missing his nose by inches. [1v1] The man attempts to fight back, swinging his rifle at Thag's head. Thag ducks and the rifle smacks the wall with a heavy wooden thud.


There's the sound of heavy boots and the man with the sword and the metal skull cap stomps out of the darkness and into the lower left corner of the room, looking around and attempting to get his bearings.

If you do start a new gang, I'd probably be willing to join it.

Yeah, that's about what I expected

Wait for the collapse. Keep my rifle ready. if an enemy appears, and i have a clear shot, and they aren't hurtling to their death, shoot. Otherwise, just chill.

I have achieved great power! To celebrate, stand outside, focus on something quite a distance away (and point as much of my body as I can towards that point), and cast an Animate Dead Machine Erupt from ground Blood Spike When near death/dies Wall spell with a -10 POT penalty.

So... Mission complete?

If I decided to make my own gang and not join Syv's gang, what cards would this tile produce?

Well, you wouldn't get this tile because the mission to get it was with another gang that no longer exists. Also I can't tell you the words this or any other space produces. They have a large list that they randomly draw from.

Your magic activates and you feel it effect you but can't tell what happened.
