Does my shiny new rifle come with some extra ammo?

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.

Abu does a sort of kungfu leap to his feet and shoots Raven right in the fucking kneecap with his backup rifle.  Raven, out of range of being able to repair Abu to death, shifts her action to just repairing her knee.

Alright then.  By my records here you have 12 armed slaves on sight. I'll post the map and let you distribute them where you want.
Who do you think? The guys whose territory you've been poaching. The Tradesmen. As per the units, we'll say you saw a few Thaumic automata and someone who might have been a Magebreaker.

A few minutes warning is what you have. Three turns worth of actions.

Well, from what you saw, the automata have guns and melee weapons and the guy that might be a Magebreaker is kitted out in full plate with cloak and who knows how many weapons under it. You saw a sword and greatshield.

Here's your map. They're coming from the East.

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.

[orbiting orbs][goo][plant] three one kodamas (plant spirits) orbiting. Succeeded with a roll of 3. (two Kodamas used. Successfully turned my enemies into bloody thornbushes)

[book][contain][darkness][aura] (4) a solid black book Pages, cover, everything is black

You call out and Lizzy returns, holding a human arm in her mouth. Hmm, Seems like giving her time in that room with the body has...well been quality time for her. You of course only see this after closing the book.

1)You cannot. Totally black. You also aren't sure how large the effected area is from inside.
2)Yes. You close the book. It seems to have eaten through...maybe a quarter of the pages. And yes, closing the book does dissipate the darkness.
3) For now, assume you are not gonna die of it but any sort of strenuous action could still, if failed, reopen the wound.

You keep your gun trained on the man while shoving the tables out of the way with your foot,  glancing down to make sure you won't trip yourself up. The man has his hands raised and is breathing very hard, laying half on the ground and half on the wall. His eyes are constantly shifting from you to the north facing hall and back. You listen carefully but don't hear anything new. Even the voices you heard before are now silent.

You move to the bodies and examine them with one hand while keeping the rifle aimed with the other, doing your best to divide your attention between the man and the corpses. You can't really secure the bodies as they are; they're literally rooted to the ground in a standing position and covered in thorny vines that make barbed wire look like silk sheets. The bodies of the men are so horribly interwoven that its basically impossible to separate the plant from the man. Their items and guns are likewise embedded in wood and thorns.

The man's attention shifts to the north hall and stays there. His breathing is getting faster.

HEad 1 tile NE, 1 tile E (my limit, apparently). Send Lizzy through the door to the SE of that position, with orders to kill any hostiles but to leave anyone not deemed a threat. (anyone with weapons out and pointed at us verses children, weak old men, and so forth.)

Vault back over the barricade and ready to fire on whatever hostile turns the corner. Make sure I'm a safe distance away from allies though in case I suddenly explode.

"Doll, I think we kneed to take a break, some commies are knocking on our door. This calls for a joint effort!"

first action: Retrieve weapon. Spawn... somewhere near the lower left part of the map, so that I have maximum firing lines. Make sure that I can see the area south of the train (so they can't hide there and advance). Don't put me right on the train tracks however.

Prep spell: As usual, create Abu's favorite implement of destruction by enchanting my rifle with LargeFirearm no wait, the rules changed, 1/6 chance of failing that now. Hmm, instead cast "Clockwork LargeFirearm", trying to get a recoiless rifle/bazooka again. If the pot roll is good, try to get some nice additional feature(s) like multi-shot or extra ammo or something else that's nice. I dunno, surprise me (pleasantly, if possible).

Somehow managed to end up far away from home in 'Nam to fight the commies. This left him confused. Then he got teleported to this world of mystery and magic. This did not help matters.

Roncal Roth _{^{Map Legend}}

Is the gray patch that interrupts the Western railroad full of cover?  If it is, Corven and three slaves will be spread out in that area.  If it doesn't provide good cover, Corven will burn a "Wall" on making a chest-high line of cover in front of the Western tunnel.  Four slaves will also be placed in the tower, and four will be placed in the train to the South (preferably in the Western car).  These two groups will be instructed to stay hidden and hold fire until ordered to shoot (if shouts can carry all the way to them), or for one round after the shooting starts.  The idea being that they can flank the greatshielder, but we want him to start focusing on the main force before the flankers open up.

The last slave is placed with Raven, and is ordered to keep her safe, at the cost of his/her own life if necessary, because if Raven dies that slave will be killed very slowly.

Corven will buff his own rifle with "Clockwork", and then wait in cover for enemies to appear.

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.

[piecewise]

RR is apparently cheating by doubling up on words from corpses carrying gang words.  I was told that was against the rules when my teammates died.  Can you slap that out of them?

I'm to busy burying bodies right now to look into exactly what this means or whats going on, but ya better either explain or knock it off or I'm gonna have to bury some more bodies.

I assume it is a mistake in record keeping.
