Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Let's say Sean goes to Gunmetal as planned and does some shopping there and stays overnight. Meanwhile Volthawk can play the Rangers' officer in charge of militia doing his thing, like...
1. Evaluating the gang in more practical sense to get a better understanding of how we can use them and whether that matches what they have said (and whether they have any kind of their own transportation, etc.) and/or arranging how they are to be contacted when needed (radio, certain bar(s) or what not) and probably paying the men one day worth welcome pay for their trouble out of the pre-allocated funds given earlier by Sean.
2. Being contacted by Leemus and having him pre-screened for the superiors (like Richard and Sean).
We'll pick the officer (and Leemus) some early time tomorrow.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
I'll follow all your lead on how best to introduce Lemus (spelling change). GM can prompt me in the IC Thread whenever he'd like me to start action.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Judging by the skills on Leemus' sheet, I'm gonna say Leemus does not know much about The Gutter, just the urban legends and common knowledge.
The Gutter is a vast underground network of Old World structures. It is rich in many varieties of treasure, but it is beyond dangerous due to the rampant disease, traps, haywire security systems and other treasure hunters that lurk in the depths. Many have died in The Gutter, but every so often you hear of someone coming back from the depths with the kind of payoff that makes risking a thousand deaths worth it.Anachronism will never high-light the folly of my convictions!

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Sean hands Lemus some gear for the mission, lines 184..195 of group gear of our doc. Also, feel free to copy / make a full page for yourself, like that of Richard and Sean.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Thanks, I've put all his equipment there to keep track of. Could you explain the formatting a bit though, what is the difference between travel load vs combat load?

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
That is mainly useful when traveling on foot. The idea is that you drop the backpack before any planned combat.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
I think guilt complex only triggers if we have reasons to believe we are somehow responsible. Right off the bat, Sean would rather expect someone else was responsible. I'll write to the effect some time tomorrow, but basically Sean does not buy the "suicide" part of the story and will start to investigate it at length.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Nah, Guilt Complex triggers if anything bad happens to people it covers, regardless of the details - it not being your fault just reduces the duration of the depression a bunch and makes self-control easier.
The question really is whether the visiting merchants are among those covered by it - it covers "those who play a significant role in your life. This includes adventuring companions, employers, subordinates, Allies, Dependents, and those toward whom you have a Duty or a Sense of Duty". The mechanical ones aren't relevant, I think (Richard has a party-level Sense of Duty, but that's about the same as adventuring companions, I suppose, and shouldn't cover these guys), and they're not employers (I'm guessing that's supposed to mean long-term employers, rather than our PCs becoming strangely attached to everyone who pays them to do something) or members of our team, so I guess it depends on if they count as subordinates or being significant in some other way. IIRC last time we discussed heirarchy with the merchants, they were quite insistent on keeping independent, so they're probably not subordinates, and as for the general significance...well, I mean, the fact that they've been described as three nameless merchants mean they probably weren't individually significant to the exiles.
Richard's not going to be happy about it either way, of course, but I think he and Sean are spared from the heavy depression.
Although for future reference, hm. It saying "If anything bad happens" with that emphasis on the anything means it probably should've come up in the near-death scares we've had before - not every battlefield injury, of course, but the couple of times we've had someone go down to 0 or even into low negatives. Something to note for the future, I suppose.Last edited by Volthawk; 2023-08-20 at 04:24 PM.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Good point. You're both fine for now. The deaths do not trigger Guilt Complex.

makes a trip to the facility that has been of his interest.
Could you point me towards a specific post in the IC thread/s where it was first arrived at?Last edited by Shoot Da Moon; 2023-08-27 at 07:26 AM.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
I'll leave it to Volthawk to determine how many of his men will do the "storming" and where the rest will be if they remain outside. Reading the rules, we can collapse this building by simply repeating enter-leave-enter sequence with a number of men, but right now that's not the plan.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
I don't think I remembered to say it here, but for the last week and a bit I've been very low internet due to travel and other stuff (related to that death in the family I mentioned before), hence not being around to give Ranger-related instruction (I was able to post here and there elsewhere, but I slipped behind here and it seemed like the rest of you had things in hand). Getting up to speed now.
EDIT: What did we say the rangers were equipped with, again?Last edited by Volthawk; 2023-09-02 at 06:36 PM.

Lines 252..333 of the doc. We've left one commander back at base, so say lines 259..270 are out. The rest of the men are in.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
So two shotguns, two BARs and an M16 with underbarrel GL, gotcha.
Has the launcher been given the same kind of field mod Tariq had to remove the minimum distance? Considering having that guy offer to sling a stun down there, but that might not be viable in the circumstances.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Not quite. Two shotguns, seven BARs and six M16s, of which two are with GLs (look at them numbers). Also special duplex ammo in BARs that gives less damage and shoots x2 rcl 1. The shotgun guys are the demolition man and the driver, the rest are troopers and one officer. BAR guys all have radios.
Having less minimum is property of the ammo and we make all new ammo of that kind, so you are good on that account. I guess they both are loaded with flashbangs because Lemus is with all frags, to that's that unless you reload. Good news you can shoot straight at BAR guys because they have all protected senses.Last edited by u-b; 2023-09-03 at 12:10 PM.

Lemus, the bad guys have Dodge 9, and they will attempt to dive/retreat (+3) if you shoot at them.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Lemus should probably start breaking his shots up when given the chance, he's seriously overkilled the last two targets. 1 or 2 shots at the head maybe.

Re: Worse Than The Disease OOC 2
Can those three rangers still see that group of five after taking a couple of seconds for confirmation? If so, what's the range, and how far apart if they if the rangers go for hitting several in one burst? On that note, what level of guns skill do the rangers have, again (all rifles, for reference)?
