Turn 11 :
((For the record, I'm very much alright with any character death of mine. Also, the T.M. is still attached to the zeppelin right?Yes it is))
Tyrin clutched his chest after trying to fix up the laser rifle. Red, still stained with blood. If he didn't find anything to help himself in the T.M. soon, the pain would be the least of his problems. He felt a slight dizziness as he moved in the T.M. guessing that the loss of blood was going to kill him. And it was spilling out, fast.
"Stupid idea...shooting down that Carronade...*cough*
"If I don't make it...Make sure ol'Eyesore here completes the journey." He held up the Blunderbuss, ancient though it was. It may have a use in the future, being a family heirloom. He was sure it's price must've skyrocketed, if there were any collectors looking for such an item. And if there was such a thing as currency where they were.
Take off that Gasmask and stow it in the T.M.
Dismantle the Clockwork Guard and scavenge the mechanisms, computer and spring.
Use those mechanisms to modify his Blunderbuss, helping the reload and maybe improving it for future use.
Edit:
"You're right, doc. I've been too melodramatic, heh.
Lay still and help the good doctor patch me up.
[3] You snap out of your melodramatic mood and lay still, more or less. You soon get bored of watching someone poke around your internal organs and fall asleep.
"Mr. Dain, I have not lost a patient in years. If you do not stop this nonsense and sit still until I'm done you will break my streak, and I will be most disappointed."
Use the tools to stop the bleeding.
[5] Fixing Tyrin up is a messy job, but eventually you succeed. (+1 Suturing). After that you decide it would be a nice thing to rest a bit.
Scout the immediate area for potential issues, then hole up somewhere safe until daylight.
[2] It's quite dark and you don't see a thing, so you just decide to climb in a tree and sleep a bit.
>Follow his lead and keep watch for threats.
[3] You don't see much either, but at least you're sure there are no dangerous monsters near.
Investigate and try to understand the T.M... I mean, we can't keep just pressing buttons and hoping to get somewhere forever, right?
[1] You stare into the soft glowing machinery of the T.M. for way too long. Eventually you fall asleep.
We need to find a magical kind of way to make the airship and time machine invisible!
Head to the small clearing and land, I guess.
[1+1+1]= STill a one, but better] You land in the clearing, but underestimate your angle of descent, resulting in the Airship making a rather harsh landing and some minor damage to the Tail where it hit the trees. Luckily this forest is quite big and dark. In fact now that you're in it it seems even bigger then from the inside, and at all sides the trees rise up, making the Zeppelin near invisible except from above. After this adventure you fall asleep in your pilots chair.
"Somebody help!"
Continue to fight them while heading towards an exit.
[3+3] You attempt to wrestle one of the Clockwork drones head of, too no effect. Suddenly the entire capsule shakes as the Zeppelin hits the ground.[3+1][1][1] You're unaffected, but the clockwork stokers manage to accidentally hit each other on the head. You're then suddenly overcome by sleep.
That morningIt's morning. Rhyss and Andric can now clearly seen the damage done to the town, as some of it's fires are still burning. Those in the Woods are greeted by an eery silence, as not a single bird is singing. It's promising to become a nice summer day, but who nows what
the future the past might bring. However it occurs to you that the best thing to begin the day is to eat, I hope you brought lunch.
