Wow, why the sudden burst of activity since my last post?
Alright, I can understand how looking at (even pretty) pictures is less fun than another turn, but come on!
Anyway, to give you something else to talk about... turn!
------------
Turn 174 ------------
Players: I look for my bat and the clanner pilot.
[AI] Search the area for traces of the clanner.
Help put kahsyyk together.
But once again, I will attempt to wake up and pull myself together.
[AI] Screw this form. Try to mutate into something with wings.
Encouraged by the recent success, I'll head on over to Kashyyk to improve him with scattered steel parts.
Jealous of the others' recent engineering success I try to build a powered battlearmor for myself out of parts of my own mech. Add as many weapons to it as I can possibly fit.
Shapeshift into normal human form and then increase my pain control.
[AI] Try to wake up and handle my wound.
I'll revise my action to avoid damaging the reactor accidentally.
Instead, Study it, to learn how it works, but avoid touching it.
Allied NPCs: Get some fresh air.
Pull all usable items and parts out of the Hauler.
Enemy NPCs: …
…

Wayside V, temporary camp some distance north of "Andrea's Furnace". - Damn, this guy's a mess!
- You're telling me? I can't even tell if that piece is a knee or an elbow!
- I think it's a shoulder...
- I'm holding the shoulder, I need an elbow! The efforts of Frelock and LASD continued fruitlessly for some time, as the damage to Kashyyk's body turned out to be much more significant. With some luck, they reassembled his broken face, but that was it. The rest of the missing body was extensively pulverized, to the point where individual pieces were impossible to tell apart. With their owner out cold, it was impossible to do much, so they did what they could, gathering as much of Kashyyk's fragments into one place as they could find. Hopefully, he'd be able to reassemble himself when he wakes up. Nearby, a muffled groan meant that at least someone else is having enough luck with that.
- Ah, awake already?
- Aye...yeah. No thanks to you...
- How'd the guard duty go? Frelock was merciless. Neo looked up at him, squinting against the sun, and got up.
- Quite well. That guy's good. How'd he sneak up on me? I'll have to question him on that later.
- Yeah, right. Frelock frowned.
If we have a "later". QWERTY! Stop messing with the potentially explosive nuclear device! In the distance, Qwer'Ty was on top of the discarded Fusion Engine, thoughtfully twisting a metal rod he'd stuck into its outer casing a minute prior. Hearing Frelock yell, he quickly abandoned his endeavor and jumped down.
- Alright, alright! It's not like I'm trying to blow it up or anythin'... well, yet, anyway... Frelock shook his head. "
Some people never change." Neo pointed him in another direction. "
And some change all the time. Just look at them." Behind them, Rooster and Zako were twitching on the ground in somewhat symmetrical agony, each going through his own world of hurt as their bodies attempted to restructure themselves. It was, in its own sadistic way, fascinating.
In the meantime, the other members of the team went about their own tasks. Korora teamed up with Boksi and his bat in searching for the escaped clanner, scanning the grounds north of the camp, towards the wreckages of the other clan 'mechs. Janna tried to salvage something from the remains of the hauler, with little luck after the raging flames have eaten everything that wasn't metal, and fused everything that was into an inseparable part of the hull. Jay Kayell was looking around for something, when suddenly his eyes opened wide and he hit the ground, yelling to others.
- INCOMING! From the north, a spray of missiles flew in. They weren't targeting the camp, but their engines burned out right above the team's heads and they fell down like unguided bombs. Thankfully, Jay's warning was noticed, and people scattered for cover as the missiles exploded in rather large fireballs, hitting nothing but ground. In the direction from which the missiles came, Korora could be seen slashing away at a group of three large humanoids - large enough to reach Korora's waist, which, considering his height, was rather impressive. Janna instantly recognized the shapes of the attackers, highly skilled, specially bred Clan warriors piloting suits of advanced powered armor.
- Oh, great. Elementals. And Elementals they were, equipped with jumpjets, lasers, missile launchers and armor-rending claws, all of which they used to the best of their capacity... except it didn't help. Their sudden discovery by Korora as they were formulating plans with the escaped clanner pilot has really thrown them off their stride, making their first batch of missiles go wide and miss the large, but surprisingly agile adversary by a wide margin. The point leader tried to close in and use his claw, but a powerful swing of the Ashcraver split his body into two, armor suit and all, not giving him enough time to even yell a curse at his killer. One spotted faint traces of Boksi through thermal sights and opened fire, but the laser beam harmlessly passed through Boksi's light-bending form and the Darkfire halberd struck the power armor straight into the visor plate, sending a crack down its surface and singeing the pilot's face with searing flame and temporarily blinding him. Korora was just about to dispatch the last suit when a weak laser beam struck his left leg from behind. Thinking it's the mech pilot, Korora spins around, but sees nothing except the camp. Another beam, this time missing everything by a mile, confirms his suspicion and affirms Jay Kayell's status as the worst sniper this side of the desert. By the time Korora turns around again, the Elemental he wanted to fight has decided to put some distance between himself and someone whose sword can cut power armor like butter. Looking around, Korora notices that the pilot they've been hunting has made himself scarce again.
- Damn. The guy's got survival instinct. ------------
Background: [3] Things of note this turn include the fact that Zako didn't change into anything, while Rooster managed to overcome his strip of bad luck and is now the proud bearer of a pair of nice wings. And a split tail. His nose is strange, too. Upon closer inspection, he appears to share some traits with a common cave swallow. The wings seem sufficient to provide lift, but the body had to make some adjistments to itself to reduce weight.

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 yet 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 center 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 unsheath the sword by shouting «ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!»
The sword has an AoE ranged 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.
---------
- Planet Wayside V: The planet seems to be barren as a whole. The sky is green here, and the air is cold. Or maybe it's just autumn here.
- Large Valley: A rather dull and barren, though very large, rocky valley covered by reddish clay soil with patches of some unknown weeds or moss. Filled with broken rock and debris. Sloping mountains or plateaus many kilometers tall seem to surround it. A relatively narrow pass leads into the Vast Plain.
- Sub-area 1: Starting Point. The place you initially appeared at.
- Sub-area 2: First Contact. Where your truck was destroyed by an aerospace fighter (and later rebuilt, driven off elsewhere and crashed again). The disabled Wolf Trap is here.
- Sub-area 3: Andrea's Furnace. Somewhere far north of Area 2 - the fighter crashlanded there. And subsequently exploded, leaving a large crater and killing the crew of the two scout buggies sent by Fusiliers. Then Andrea blew the place up along with a bigger convoy. 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.
- Sub-area 5: Unknown. A pillar of dark smoke rising northeast of the Furnace.
- Fusiliers' camp "Wildcat": A small military camp set up amidst the hills in the large valley. Something terrible might have happened there.
- Vast Plain: An enormous plain connected to the large valley by a relatively narrow passage. Its ground is different from that of the valley, but you don't know what it is yet. Might be a former ocean bottom.
