Turn 5 : Strangers arrive
As before, investigate my shiny new gun. Once I have investigated it, I will decide how/where/when/who to use it on.
You find that you're gun is a prototype sonic Cannon. Similair technology has been used in mines and small antipersonel weapons. The fun thing is though that this one seems to have multiple settings:
Currently they are configured like this:
Power: MAX
Frequency: Very low
Spread: Small
As you have noticed when you fired it at the mechanics, this will give you a powerful slow moving blast. Sadly it seems that moving all settings to max would require 3 powercells to be used at once.
You aim at the Carronade ship and fire[5]. A Concentrated soundpulse flies through the air[2+1] and strikes the ship[4-2]. The soundwave strikes [4+1], but sadly the ship moestly resist the damage[3+2]. However it seems that cracks have appeared in the hull.
Tyrin picks up that rocket launcher after diving in cover and dropping his Blunderbuss, he didn't want to do it, so he aimed for the other airship, the one not under attack at the moment.
[6] You pick up the rocketlauncher and fire a rocket at the Boarding ship, which is at the moment 50 meters away.[2+2]The rocket flies towards it target[6-2] and hits. [6+2] An enormous explosion follows as the entire ship goes up in flames, crashing into the side of the tower in a desperate effort to dodge[6+2]. The towers seems to be damaged from the impact, and even worse, some of the wooden supports have started burning.
Large: -2 to dodge, +2 dam resistance
Carronades:-2 to hit, spreadshot
Slightly damaged.
Large: -2 to dodge, +2 dam resistance
Clockworkdrones: 10

((Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing what our story is.))
"I don't think the negotiations are going well. I'll try to calm things down, please try to stop convincing the locals that we're a hostile invasion force."
Take a set of anti-viral/anti-bacterial omnicures, as they may be needed for demonstration purposes. Try to convince the airships not to destroy or board the time machine (Our machines seems to have backfired slightly, and left us very disoriented. Please give me time to calm my companions down).
[2] You stay inside the Timemachine, as it seems the guys on the outside are good on their way to blowing the whole tower up.
Try and exit the tower, and dissapear into the crowds. Find me some clothes, and a way to gain them, so I can blend into the crowd, and the locals of the time.
[5] You get out in time and manage to sneak past the soldiers. They don't seem to be paying attention to you. You turn around and are just in time to see the burning airship crash into the side of the tower.
FIRE!!
The cannons roar and schrapnel flies around.[4+1-2] The shrapnel barely misses Rhyss [4]. [5+1-2] However it tears right through Tiryns cover[1]. [3+1] Vs [1]. He drops to the ground , having taken several chrapnel flards to the chest. They don't seem to have hit any important organs.
Me and Tomato are going to hijack the carriage, rob the driver, and flee to the Science Museum, a vast stone building filled with steam engines, machinery, weapons of war, and farming implements.
Vast steel columns hold up the overreaching glass roof; the imposing walls are made of sandstones. Many members of the public mill around on the long shallow steps leading from the street to the entrance.
[4]vs[2]. You rob the coachman. Sadly he doesn't have that much money with him. It's barely enough to net you two tickets into the Science museum. There's lot of stuff in here, including some large walkers, a new type of fast airship, that uses an extremely light gas in the place of steam, and some large steam based farming implements.
Meanwhile Jhon Redcloak and Adric Rumwalker mysteriously appear inside the time machine. What do you mean, appear. You clearly remember they being there all along.

Good traits: Fearless: This character becomes better in combat the worse the odds are., Berserk: While in the same fight, each kill scored grants him progressively better accuracy and damage and he ignores a great deal of pain.
