Turn 166 ------------
Players: {4} I heal myself
I'll go for a mech that's not being targeted already and stab it in the cockpit.
Distract the pilots with TP so they can't aim.
I find the RPG launcher and ammo. Time to use those anti-armour rounds.
[AI] Try to improve my speed by regenerating.
So then, I'll have a mental meeting with my dark side, trying to learn something offensive, like perfecting the rage-inducing power I did by accident.
I'll do like Zako and clamber up one of the mechs, not the same as him preferably, then use my laser pistol to break into the cockpit and slay the person inside. I will activate my blood rage from looking at Boksi's leg wound before doing this, and use my blood seeker ability when attacking the pilot.
Charge the nearest mech while blasting dust into it's sensors, then fly to the cockpit and attempt to enter and pull the pilot out!
[AI] Suddenly realise a truck is not much protection, jump out and try to conceal self in terrain.
Maybe I was able to feel or otherwise detect some alteration during that breif unusual happening? Maybe I can learn from it.
Allied NPCs: Remain where it is.
Neutral NPCs: Seeing the others go, dash bravely forward at the mechs.
Keep hidden and wait.
Enemy NPCs: Sulk.
Fill the comm channel with finest Clan expletives.
Approach. Unload both LRM-15s and UAC/2s into the crowd.
Approach. Fire M-lasers at the truck.

Wayside V, temporary camp some distance north of 'Andrea's Furnace'. The events unfolded at a furious pace, the situation becoming more dire with each passing second. Most of the team had only a passing experience with battlemechs, and didn't know their destructive potential. When one of the two surviving mechs released a cloud of more than two dozen missiles, it was abundantly clear that the fecal matter has hit the proverbial rotary air impeller. It was time to act on intuition and reflexes.
-
CHAAAARGE! As one, Zako-drones blasted off and streaked towards the larger mech that released the missiles. The machine was squattish and ugly, with no hint of any grace or finesse. In a way, it resembled the A-10 from Earth's aviation history. And it was deadly in the same way. The cluster of autocannons on its arm unleashed a deadly barrage, ripping up the air and making the Zakos split up. Glancing back at the camp, Zako-1 could see at least one man drop as the cannons' unobstructed projectiles peppered the terrain. This distracted Zako, and he couldn't react when the merciless pilot unleashed another missile barrage, with him as the target. Even though the big, slow missiles couldn't match Zako's mobility, their powerful explosions and shrapnel had extensive reach, and only Zako's 3 and 4 prevailed and reached the mech. But, despite their heroic efforts, the two of them could not find a way into the mech. Their attack has failed. But they set an example to others.
Inspired and enraged, Jay and Korora also lunged forward, aiming for the smaller of the two mechs. Enraged from seeing Boksi's blood, Jay leaped onto Korora's back, and clinged onto him as he ran towards the enemy. Korora narrowly avoids a pair of pulsing laser beams, raises the Ashcraver, and strikes! But the clan Mechwarrior is not impressed. Easily sidestepping Korora's charge, he readies a counter-attack! And then, Jay Kayell steps into the fight. Or rather, leaps into it. Jumping off Korora's metal back, Jay lands squarely onto the mech's front armor plate, and sees its pilot through the thick armored glass of the cockpit. Momentarily taken aback, not expecting such tactics from his enemy, the clan pilot loses vital seconds, allowing Jay to find a foothold on the armor and take aim through the glass.
-
Hasta la vista, baby. The handheld heavy lasergun vibrated as the bright blue beam emitted from its barrel. The mech's pilot, a dark-haired young woman, was for a second blinded when the laser's residual light struck her eyes. And then, the blue laser vaporized the last millimeter of hardened glass that separated it from her head. Within moments, it burned through the pilot's skull, boiling her brain, killing her instantly and leaving a disgusting brown stain on the back of the seat. Left without control, her battlemech stopped, balancing with its autopilot.
Having seen the destruction of the pilot's brain in excruciating detail, Jay Kayell turns around and victoriously proclaims:
-
Now THIS is how you do it! Score one more for the... The words got stuck in his throat. While he stood victorious, the rest of the team was hammered by missiles. Frelock was knocked out of the sky, many others were nowhere to be seen, the truck was once again reduced to burning wreckage. Somehow that last bit stood out the most.
-
Damn. What the hell is wrong with us and transportation?! ------------
Background: [6] Kashyyk stands up, barely fazed by the missile barrage. His shield has protected him, but many others weren't as lucky. Frelock's forcefield proved insufficient against a missile, LASD and Qwer'Ty seem to have been hit by shrapnel and cannon fire, Rooster is stuck under the truck. And Simon is nowhere to be seen.

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.

Locations: 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.
