Turn 6 : No paradoxes, yet
I shall attempt to hot-wire in some power cells to charge the machine.
[6] You succesfully connect the powercells to the T.M's power grid. Sadly you needed more of them than expected.(15 cells used) The fun fact is that they have permenantly increased the capacity of the Time machine. The T.M circuits ready themselves and it seems it's ready to jump. The G. M has moral objections against leaving people behind though.
"Das wird chaotisch zu bekommen." Let's meet up with the others, John. We will be stronger united.
>Take a generic machine gun and 10 mags. Sling the gun across my back and strap the axes to each side of me on my belt in their holster. Take a few medical supplies.
You do all this stuff, and then meet up with the other guys, which are conveniently 5 meter ahead of you.
One more shot at the same target on current settings before hiding back in the time machine, where I will fiddle with the settings - a narrow beam of a high velocity would be nice...
[1] Sadly your gun malfunctions, so you immediatly go into the timemachine were you chance the settings to:
Power: MAX
Frequency: Low
Spread: Minimum
"Oh sh-..oot and reload! Sorry! Sorry!" Tyrin couldn't get over the fact that he had killed on impulse. Not that it wasn't called for, but that he nearly hit one of the others with him in his haste to fire. Well, karma. He got hit. Hit bad.
"Rhys! If you could tell the others to get out, I'll try to take the last one! Edward, what's the status of the time machine?"
Fire rocket > Carronade ship. Hoping that it would not hit the tower.
[3] You aim at the ship and fire. [5] vs [3-2] The rocket hits dead on. [6+2] vs [1+2] The ship explodes in a ball of fire, this time not crashing into the tower.
Look around the time machine for weapon hopefully someting loud and makes a big firey explosion
Then wonder how the universe can retcon itself without creating a horrible paradox destroying the small tatters of reality it has left after we tore it up by time traveling
You can't find anything that makes loud and big firey explosions except for the weapons already lying in the common inventory ( Just take on of them if you want). There do appear to be a nice amount of horrible firey explosions outside.( Next time, please bold your actions)
The fire is burning rapidly and the smoke is increasing. Everyone in the tower will suffer a -1 to everything unless they take precautions( like putting on a gasmaskLarge: -2 to dodge, +2 dam resistance
Carronades:-2 to hit, spreadshot
On fire, crashing
Structural damage: 3.5/6 hp
Lower storeys burning up fast
-Smoke: Everyone in the tower gets -1 to all actions
Let's look for a way to obtain local garments!
[2] Between the explosions and the fire raining out of the sky it's hard to find an opened clothing shop. On the positive side, nobody is paying attention to you.
Hilda will wait for the airship to leave on one of its small trips before rushing onto the airship! I'll head straight for the controls and attack the pilot (if he is clockwork) or threaten him with a knife (if he is human) and order him to fly us out of the museum!
You just walk into the Zeppelin and wait for it to depart. After that you sneak towards the cockpit[3+1] whitout the clockwork pilot hearing you[3]
[4+1] Vs [2] Deactivating him is pretty easy. You just planted your knife between some critical gears and the whole thing stopped. You do think you broke it.( Clockwork pilot destroyed)
When lawa gets on the airship, make sure that no-one else gets on, in a way that the guards won't find suspicious (hopefully).
[5] Easiest job ever. It seems that no'one wants to get on the ship. One of the concierges approaches you though. He thanks you for your interest and gives you a manual of some sort. Apparently his son worked on this ship and he hopes you'll do a good word for him in higher society.( Item gained: Airship manual: +1 to piloting airships)
The clockwork stokers notice something is wrong and are slowly moving towards the cockpit.
