Spoiler: Shopping List (click to show/hide)

We're buying as much as possible, as far down the list.  I know we can't purchase everything--if nothing else the last item is far outside our price range--but we should be able to get most of it.  And maybe start on the last item.

• Pancaek's hueg rifle and twelve greandes
• A very high quality plate helmet for Raven.  Customized to look like a stylized and intimidating corvid head, integrating one of our plauge doctor-esque gasmasks, nonflammable, acid-resistant, and most importantly, bulletproof.  Yes, this should be expensive, but it's still just a single helmet.  _{^{Plus the only mechanical difference is "can't be headshot, but is very obviously important"}}

• Ropes, ten foot collapsible poles, climbing gear, first aid kits, etc, for all our members.  Basically mundane full adventurer kits.
• Dark Souls-style firebombs.  One pouch of them for each gang member.
• A block of steel for each member, about as much as needed to make a sword, for enchanting.
• Spare Masks
• The materials needed to build a giant thaum-and-patriotism-powered bird mecha called "Libirdy Prime", namely:

For building a giant thaum powered robot? Well, a lot of high quality metal  to start with, for the body. Then a lot of silver for the thaum channels in the limbs and body. Then silver and spellsteel for the brain, as well as someone to sit around inside it for a week imparting a personality to it while also pouring thaum into it. That will get the robot part up, but weapons are another story. Gonna need either mundane weapons for that or spellsteel arrangements with proper spells worked in.

_{((Much of me screams to spend our "funds" on fortifying our base hex, but fun trumps wisdom when playing.  Upgrades to our base probably wouldn't matter, anyway.))}

As for our gang action, we're attacking Hex 49.
Prepostedit: Use one of the "Wall"s I was going to sell and enchant the ground to turn into a circular wall around Abu, before he can start maiming his boss' daughter.  Don't prevent Raven from maiming Abu, though.

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.

Approach the barricades and use them for cover, aiming over them. Wait. Do any of the voices seem to draw closer?

• If they draw closer from the north, get ready to fire from behind the barricades.
• If they seem to draw closer from the south, vault over the barricades and get ready to fire.
• If they seem to draw closer from both directions, crouch and get ready to fire on the ones from the south first.

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.

Raven leans down, snatches the rifle from Abu and takes aim at him.

"This is getting stupider by the minute!"

"Much like your face!"

"That doesn't even make sense!"

"AGHH!"

Raven fires rounds down at Abu until the gun clicks empty, but Abu rolls out of the way of every shot while yelling "WOOP WOOP WOOP".

You walk around a bit and find some kind of occult symbol engraved into the wood. A magic circle of some kind. You can't tell anything about it or how it should work or even if it would work at all.

The orb finishes drilling through the wall and the wood collapses into a randomized mush.

"Hm... Thag, Iron Brian believes we should be careful.  Iron Brian doesn't like all these blocked off doorways, Iron Brian thinks that gangsters are either hiding something, or trying to keep something in. "

Head up the staircase.

You head up the stairs but find it just as blocked as Thag found it. Huh.

A suture is a type of lock, right?

Cast [lock] on my guts. Intent is above. Afterward, open the book. Intent is a sort of vague darkness that blends me into the background.

[5][5][3v3]
You enchant your flesh and it twists, braiding itself together in a way most violent and unpleasant. It doesn't heal so much as it is torn to tiny fibers and then twisted up and knotted together into a fleshy scab of a thing.

Once you manage to get the red out of your vision and not vomit from the pain, you open the book. Immediately a darkness explodes out of the book and envelops you and a large area around you. You can feel the book's pages turning on their own and seemingly burning away or dissolving beneath your fingers.

Approach the barricades and use them for cover, aiming over them. Wait. Do any of the voices seem to draw closer?

• If they draw closer from the north, get ready to fire from behind the barricades.
• If they seem to draw closer from the south, vault over the barricades and get ready to fire.
• If they seem to draw closer from both directions, crouch and get ready to fire on the ones from the south first.
• Otherwise, just vault over and loot the corpses.

You move behind the barricades and are just about to leap over and loot some bodies when someone comes running in from the north. They don't look like a gangster or a criminal, they look like a civilian, but they're running at full sprint towards you. You pop up and aim your gun at them. They immediately try to skid to a stop and instead fall over backwards and onto their ass.

Quickly go where Joseph and Geiger are, once I have sight of any hostile enemies, fire an orb at them. Otherwise, keep moving as far as possible.

Jet down the stairs and head for the wall north of the platform.  If I reach the wall, activate Beastly, and punch through it.  I want to avoid the ambush hallway.  If I don't have time to punch it, don't cast the spell and just move.

Call out to Lizzy, order her to return to me. Also, I have questions:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1) Can Geiger see in the darkness? how much? if not , is he aware of the extent of it?
2) Are the pages continually disappearing? If so, close the book. How many are left? How many were consumed. Does closing the book remove the darkness?
3) How horribly mangled are Geiger's guts? is he still in severe post surgical pain? Does this affect his abilities and stats?
4) which rolls were for what in that round? I rolled a 5, 5, and 3v3. I am assuming the potency for lock, vitality for surviving the self inflicted hack, and then an opposed will roll or something for controlling the book.

In case we're gonna actually start the next mission: retrieve rifle and go find a good sniper spot in our home hex. Preferably with good lines of sight but still offers cover and concealment.

In case we're not: scuttle away all crab-like and take some potshots with the backup rifle! As before, don't target any of the vital areas, only the funny ones.

By the way, what happened to the speed rolls?
