Don't look at me this is syv's game.

Don't look at me this is syv's game.

Really? Huh.

I guess I can stop updating it then.

[Devastator]

I think our team is missing only Emp..

[Radio Controlled]

Abu will think of 1d6 ways to complain about the lack of action on his team.

[Ozarck]

Yeah, go ahead and assume Emp is doing what he did last turn, and get us a round, eh?

[piecewise]

Waddle to the foot of the stairs. Send my murderlizard to do a murderlizard's job, by scouting to the top of the stairs. Try not to have an asthma attack on the way.

You waddle to the stairs and then breathlessly jerk your thumb at them while facing Lizzy. She apparently understands what you mean and scampers up the stairs. You hear her skittering around upstairs, claws scraping walls and what is probably a closed door.

Wait for hostiles to descend the stairs and shoot them. If nothing happens and someone decided to ascend the stairs, follow them.

You grab some debris and walk upstairs. You jam the debris under the door like a door stop before touching the door.

From the spot you touched, a wave of gray radiates out, petrifying the door as it goes. In the end the entire door has been turned to stone.

Proceed up to floor three.  Open the door and check out the hallway.  If it's an ambush (multiple gunmen waiting for us to come out), enchant my steel rod with 'wall' for some cover.  I want basically a big heavy chunk of steel that I'm still grabbing by one end that Thag can push downfield to smash puny gunmen.  If there is no more than one man with a gun, charge and stab.

Roncal Roth _{^{Map Legend}}

Okay, I don't have the mental wherewithdrawl right now to do bookkeeping/planning for this game, so I'm stepping down as Roncal-thol Rotheleaod's leader, and promoting Egan_BW to that position.  He's free to do whatever he wants.  I think he wants to disband and reform the gang so that he can re-choose our gang words?  I'unno what your rules are on that, since I'm pretty sure everyone also wants to keep our characters.

IC, I guess Corven gets all mopey about nearly getting Raven (and also the others) killed due to overreaching, and decides he isn't fit to lead and that his teenage daughter will make far better decisions than him.  Yeah.  That sounds good.

...Informational spoilers left in below because hey why not.

Spoiler: Corven Feathra (click to show/hide)

Gang: Roncal Roth
Health: Fine!
Tattoos: Eyes tattoo'd with 8-strength "Repair AffectUser"
Inventory:

• A slaver rifle, with lots of bullets Turned into a full-auto rifle and given to Sarge
  
• A slaver rifle, borrowed from Sarge.
• A concealed knife.
• A Roncal Roth crow uniform, armored with metal plates and thick leather.  Provides fire resistance, acid resistance, and a passive +2 endurance vs. gasses and dusts.
• Some decently-sized pebbles he picked up somewhere, for throwing and enchanting.
• Rope, collapsible pole, first aid kit, climbing equipment, general adventurer gear.
• A pouch of firebombs.
• A heavy block of enchantable steel.

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.

OI, YOU FUCKS! IF YE'RE IN RONCAL ROTH, POST YOUR CHARACTER SHEETS NOW SO THAT I CAN ASSIGN WORDS. IF YOU WEREN'T IN BEFORE BUT POST A SHEET NOW, WELL, WE'RE RECRUITING I GUESS. IF YOU WERE IN BEFORE BUT DON'T COME POST YOUR SHEET RIGHT NOW, I'M KICKING YOU OUT BECAUSE IT'S NOT WORTH HAVING DEAD WEIGHT WHO WON'T POST!

If you want words, you've got this list to work with:

Spoiler: The number in parenthesis is the Rank of the word, and effects how hard it is to enchant using it. (click to show/hide)

LargeFirearm(2)
Ammunition(2)
Clockwork(3)
Repair(3)
Many(4)

Concrete(2)
Wood(1)
OrbitingOrbs(2)

We've only got one of each word on that list, no doubling up! If multiple people want the same word, I'll decide who gets it.

Also, if you're just joining, you'll be given some standard equipment, which includes an armored uniform which is fire-resistant and acid-resistant, a gas mask, a rifle, a whole pile of rifle bullets, a knife, Bandages and tourniquets, an adventurer's bag containing ropes and poles and such, a bag of firebombs, and a block of steel.

We're attacking 143.
If words remain at Dreamer's Gate after everyone else has had their pick, I'm discarding them before the mission. I will accomplish this by putting them in my deck, then just casting them as single words, one at a time. If there's any plausible in-universe reason why this cannot be accomplished, do tell me.
Nevermind, I'll just trade 'em for loot. Because apparently I can still do that.
