Turn 160 ------------
Players: I'll go looking for them (bats). And bring them with me to the truck or something.
-----------------------------------
Let's drive the truck Jag-wards. I'll meditate on the ride and try to unlock hidden abilities.
[AI] Try to use LASD's tools and combine my dagger and sword into one Vibro-sword.
Well, let's work on mental hardening this turn.
I suggest that we go towards the direction that we saw Andrea going, unless people think we should go to the enemy base instead. Then I meditate and enter a skill-enhancing matrix style trance.
[AI] Keep practicing.
I'll practice finding team mates with the headband by trying to find out andrea's location after getting on/in the Hauler.
I try to wake myself from unconsciousness, and then start rubbing my hands together to warm them up.
I deactivate the table of status' and see if I can alter my vision to that of normal human optics. Hop on the truck as well.
RTTAI:(1) Vote to go back to the camp. See if it's possible to short out the truck with the electro-staff.
Allied NPCs: Remain where they are.
Neutral NPCs: Waits.
By popular vote, begins driving north. Coincidentally, both the Jaguar base and Andrea's flight path are to the north.

----------------
Wayside V. Former location of the hill "Andrea's Furnace". A small, but heated argument broke out over the destination the team should drive to. While many wanted to go straight into action, most teammates expressed a desire to locate Andrea first, since his electrical prowess would prove indispensable for the team. Using the short delay, Boksi managed to drag his only surviving giant bat aboard the truck with him. Shortly afterwards, a consensus is reached when Janna realises that both destinations lie roughly in one direction. With everything finally settled, the Hauler's engine roars up, sending the crew underway. Happy outcries are somewhat muffled when the exhaust gasses enter the lungs of the people on the platform, but there can be little doubt that everyone is relieved to finally start moving towards their goal.
With the heavy-duty suspension softening the occassional bump, the team relaxes. Rooster juggles his rocks, Chaoticag fiddles with his weapons, Kashyyk and Korora meditate. Nobody pays attention to each other's doings. And it backfires. Hard.
Left to himself, Neo starts wondering about the potential uses of the wonderful electric staff he held. Some of them were obvious. Some were quite intriguing. Deciding to test his ideas in practice, he crawls over to the cabin wall and jams the end of the staff into the space between the cabin and the platform. Immediately, sparks fly out and the truck picks up speed.
-
Whoa, whoa, whoa! What's happening?! The controls ar- Janna's alarmed cries are cut short by a sudden burst of flame from the cabin! The truck swerves to the right, Korora falls off the platform, and the vehicle's suspension accomplishes what inertia started. The truck tips over and crashes on its side, digging into the ground! Those who managed to keep their footing on the flatbed suddenly experience merciless inertia as they are slammed into the cabin's back wall! Kashyyk's seatbelt snaps, and he is flung out of the burning cabin through the empty windshield frame. If he were conscious at the moment, he'd be amused by this universe's approach to irony.
A minute or two later... -
Uhhhhh... LASD opens his eyes. He feels as if he's lying on his side, but he can't see well because some strange translucent goo obscures his vision. He tries to wipe it away with his hand, but a wave of pain engulfs his mind as he tries to move. It takes LASD some time to calm himself down and examine the situation in a more cautious way. After almost ten minutes of painful slow movements, he sees the full picture.
The truck is lying on its left side, the reinforced cabin seemingly undamaged in the crash. Clouds of dark smoke fill the small space, and some odd pink goo forms elastic membranes hanging from the windows above, slowly dripping to the floor. The back seats are almost undamaged, Frelock and Jay, both strapped in, were untouched by raging flames, but LASD's body is hanging on the remains of his seatbelt, covered in nasty burns. The wonderful suit is in tatters, the top hat has fallen off and the Rad-Man can be seen shining through its ashen remains. The sight almost makes LASD cry, but he composes himself. In front of him, someone else moans - he recognizes the voice as Simon. The front seats are severely burned, and it looks like Simon is heavily injured. Janna is nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, someone looks into the cabin from above. Someone large.
-
Holy sh.. Hey! You alright in there? -
Do I *nngh*.. Do I look alright? -
No. Hang in there, we'll get you out! -
Uh-huh. Real funny, man. It takes Korora and the others quite some time to carefully roll the truck back on it wheels and get the four people out of the cabin. Normally, it'd take far less, but LASD's inner pragmatist defeated the inner survivalist and by his vote it was decided that Korora will not "just rip the thing open". The victims of the crash were carefully laid on the ground. They weren't numerous - LASD and Simon suffered heavy burns, Janna was slightly burned and battered after she bailed out of the flaming cabin, and Jay was unconscious after his display of fiery power. Zako's fate required some pondering to understand - apparently, his regenerative power completely backfired on him and his entire body became a huge wad of loosely-bound biomatter. This was somewhat fortunate, because the half-liquid substance splattered all over the cabin in the crash and doused the remnant flames, but also highly disruptive to the team's efforts because they couldn't walk two paces without stepping in Zako, and it was anything but pleasant.
While some concerned themselves with scooping Zako up into a more concentrated form, others catered to the injured. Only Boksi and Chaoticag could perform telekinetic healing, and they both were quite inexperienced. Healing went slow. While looking at their efforts, LASD suddenly remembers what he was doing before the crash. He could locate every existing team member on the planet through his headband, and with the help of the Rad-Man, and was very surprised to see that someone was very close to their position. Someone they haven't seen before. He tries to tell the team of this, but is only a few seconds too late.
-
Uh.. Hello! Approximately half an hour earlier. Qwer'Ty was growing tired. After more than an hour of constant walking towards an improbable goal, all the while fighting off the ever-present cold with nothing but determination and underwear, his body was almost at its limit. When the strange object he was walking to suddenly began to move, he almost lost hope, for it would mean he was being left alone, with no chance to catch up. But Fate favored him this time.
A burst of flame erupted from the object's front, and it almost immediately stopped. Finding new strength in hope, renewed with this sudden chance, Qwer'Ty gave his muscles a final jolt and broke into a sprint, trying to reach the object before it moved off again. But his body knew its limits all too well. For generations his race was perfecting its genetic structure, resulting in great capacity for understanding the world around them. But with that understanding came technology, and it replaced or enhanced every aspect of their everyday lives. Their bio-implants were a true marvel of genetic engineering, allowing even newborns to interface with the tech that surrounded them. And it left them weak when that technology was taken away from them. Left without strength to continue, Qwer'Ty collapsed to the ground, his hope all but lost.
When he woke up, he was almost sure he would not see the goal he was heading for. The haze created by the lingering heat of the surface had cleared up, and lo and behold! The object was still there! Now clearly visible, the boxy flatbed hauler was just a few hundred meters away. Qwer'Ty got up from the ground and walked calmly to the vehicle. If Fate has so decided, there was no way it would leave without him.
------------
Background: [6+2] Yes, you do notice you have a new team member. The more learned (or less absent-minded) of you recognize him as being of the Dolean race. He's a fairly slim humanoid, with gray skin, pitch-black eyes, and no ears or nose to speak of. Apart from that, Korora recalls something important from his meditation experience - there are no details, just the words "BREASTO FIRE". The truck is, by Janna's estimation, more or less broken. The flames and the crash didn't hurt too much, but Neo's experiment has fried some sensitive electronics. It'll be very well if it'll be possible to start the engine, but all the onboard CPUs and control panels are beyond repair. Chaoticag's wooden sword is irrepairable as well, having been crushed by Rooster falling on it. Also, while gathering up Zako, you find what look to be two perfectly normal eyes. They unnerve everyone by turning to look at whoever's nearby.

Artifacts:
Description: A massive, massive, MASSIVE sword. It is three meters long, 1'3'' (~40cm) wide, and dazzingly bright. Its fine steel has been polished to reflect light like a mirror. Its one edge is curved, jagged at the hilt, the other is straight and so sharp it could probably slice adamantine blocks like salami. Down the center of the sword, which is at least 2'' thick, runs a hollow slit 3'' wide, in which yeat another, smaller and straighter sword is concealed. The entire surface of both swords, except of course the sharp cutting edges, is finely engraved with uncountable images, among which the launching of the Challenger, world war II, a nuclear explosion, a trainwreck, and a rotary excavator. The hilt itself (being at the same time the hilt of the smaller sword) is decorated with gold and emeralds you can only assume you've taken from someone, arranged in beautiful patterns, and the handle is woven with three lines - one is a scaly snake with two small rubies in the eyes, and two seem awfully like DNA strands. You get a feeling you could decipher the human genome if you looked closely enough. The guard of the hilt is exquisitely detailed as well, but right down the senter of it, spanning the breadth of the sword, is a solid rectangular golden plate, with the single word: "ASHCRAVER" deeply embossed onto it. The entire thing is so immeasurably brilliant, you almost don't want to touch it fearing it'll stick to your hand and corrupt you like some magic ring. Overcoming this fear, you pick it up. Despite its size, it is relatively lightweight, relatively, of course, to anything else so large and made of steel. The hilt of the smaller blade has a folding guard that makes the weapon look like an overgrown sai.
Parameters (full sword): +2 to damage, +1 to attack, -1 agility.
Parameters (core blade): +1 to damage.
Known Details: "The Ashcraver seems to accumulate the energy released by the deaths it causes. The process is admittedly rather slow, but has good uses.
Can heal wounds.
In mech form, Korora can unsheathe the sword by shouting ""ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!""
The sword has an AoE ranged projectile attack activated by shouting ""RAIN OF PAIN!"""
Description: The ring consists of a toroidal adamantine core surrounded by a shell of tempered steel with thin bands of gold along the rims of the ring. Set into an adamantine frame on its top is a Star Sapphire imbued with the dark soul of a Greater Demon, under absolute control of the wearer. The steel surface of the ring is covered by three hundred tiny tiles of granite, engraved with images of various creatures, all being dead.
Parameters: Applies a -1 penalty to using Fire and Darkness manipulation for every active effect already applied. Current penalties: -2 Darkness.
Known Details: "
The wearer of the ring may call onto the soul of the demon, which can manipulate darkness and fire - anything from direct projection to creating sentient forms to giving protection against.
The wearer can also give an order to summon a creature mad with rage (any creature from the DF world you have seen), which will use up one or several of the stone tiles, depending on the power of the creature. The tiles may be restored, but only through personally killing sentient creatures with bare hands and absorbing their essence with the ring, which also adds that creature to the ""summonable creatures"" list.
The price to pay for all this power is a constant aura of darkness that any living being will feel (and will react accordingly), and the wearer may, under critical stress, give in and become controlled by the trapped demon soul."
Description: An odd-looking gnarly stick made of iron and steel. The many wrinkles and crevices on its surface are ever so slightly glowing.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: The staff feels special, capable of doing wonrous things. Some of those things include: summoning a small lightning that seems to charge the staff, when being hit against the ground; launching a spark of electricity that explodes in a sparkling firework-like burst, on giving a generic mental command.
Description: (Universal Radiowave Manipulator) A hexagonal reflective box, rougly a foot across and 10cm thick.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: It can receive, process, transmit, focus, and disperse energy waves over a rather wide electromagnetic spectrum. Can work as a radio or a mini-microwave. Contains a battery that can be recharged by applying any electricity to the surface.

And then Zako's hurricane, aided by a mysterious force, levelled it completely. All players are here.
Sub-area 4: Saramrakust Kosak. A great engraved slab of hard white stone east of the Furnace, that is the top of a buried obelisk that stands over the grave of the dwarf Kosak Sidasin Lokumzuden.

Fusiliers' camp "Wildcat": A small military camp set up amidst the hills in the large valley. Something terrible might have happened there.
