Think of it as a sort of boardgames, where every player makes some choices. Here, you are monster hunters of a kind, chasing dread things in the dark. So while Guang-An Woo there appears to bring a sword, you might actually make a unit for yourself and bring a spear.
And then there'd be two of you, taking actions, planning things, getting murdered. That last part happens more often than one would think. We call it a Skirmish. It's a multiplayer quest! You'd take actions, and then the QM updates what is usually a map consistently, and the action plays out.
Now as for participating, let me see about finding myself a little as well. This looks ... interesting.

The frontline is too dangerous, and the rear is too dark. So I will bring a Glowstone. I would bring mechanical equipment but I think the old multitools will serve fine to defuse the iron teeth someone else leaves lying about.

>>5787762 It won’t help, because for this particular little expedition the obscurantism is a stylistic choice - you learn how it works by interaction. I’m not saying this is an optimal way to do your rules, yet it’s how it works around here. Characters get a 1 AP “Understand” action to ask questions, which is how you pick things up quickly. You’re sort of supposed to operate under a veil.
That all said I think I get the hang of it, so what I can offer is this:
Force is physical force. It moves things and tends to knock stuff around.
Margin is margin. Err. Roll 3d6 vs 10? Get 8? You’ll have 2 margin positive. Get 12? Two margin negative. A lot of underlying systems stuff treats the margin as relevant for decisions and outcomes. It’s a lot worse to roll vs 6 and get 16, a failure by 10, than to roll against 15 and get 16, a failure by one.
Armor and DR knocks damage down. So DR 1, take 5, actual injury is 4. It has some other uses too, because obviously if an environmental hazard is 1 per tile you won’t notice in armor. It sometimes gets dangerous because it the DR acts as a penalty instead. Swimming in heavy armor is hard. Most basic attacks do 1d6 dmg, so a little armor goes a long way.
Excess is generally what’s left after something resolves to a minimum. If you attack someone with 6 HP, deal 10 damage, your excess is 4. This is kinda useful when dealing with crowds.
The Paths all allow flourishes, by taking a skill penalty. So Blade rolled at -2 is a cut that also inflicts Bleeding (Bleeding being a condition that hits people for more loss later). So you trade skill for flourish. Attack at 3d6 vs 12 or 3d6 vs 10, and inflict bleed.
Incidentally that’s how the basic Iron Circle works too. You can take a skill penalty to alter the attack. So it’s -2 to step and strike, -4 to step twice and strike, -6 to step, +2 dmg, bleed with a sword.
Which is why your AP can add +1 hit. So roll once against 15, or once against 12 but with +3 dmg. Or twice against 12 for 6 AP.
Higher skill and modifiers from morale and friends make you a lot deadlier. Someone with Blade 14 basically gets a “free” step contra someone with skill 12.
Oh, as for Deadly, it makes called strikes easier. It’s -3 to hit something small, like a hand. But it’s -2 if you’re deadly. And -6 for an eye. Or -4 if someone is deadly.
Usually stabbing things in the vulnerable spot multiplies damage or avoids their armor.

>>5787791 How good is your footwork, and how worried are you about tangling yourself in the scrub, your cloak or your armor? I might be all sorts of wrong, but I don't think there's anything that impedes your ability to step more than once. Excepting that doing so and attacking and defending all in one flash of brilliance gets kind of complicated.
For a showing of 12 Skill, stepping twice is -4! You're rolling against 8. And do keep in mind that failing by a lot is ... Well it might mean you trip, I think. Or accidentally step in a malign direction, such as into a pit.
But as far as I know, the benefits of formation fighting, like hiding behind Scrysoc, is if you have a sword and he's in the way, you step - strike - step back as one action. You'd still be behind him. The attack is just so quick its easily warded off.
OH! And . . . Sometimes? Lanterns get cunning and try to do something that doesn't have a listed roll, and then giggle and think that they can step 6 tiles, and make no roll at -12, and thus sprint about the place. But that's actually one roll against your basic footwork skill from your Path, and failing it probably means you trip in your cloak. I wouldn't try it.

>>5787783 Reading the beginning twice, while I understand the need for obscurantism as a stylistic choice, the fact that this is a roll under system and not a roll above is not specified anywhere, I believe.
And DR means...?
Excess is just a fancy way of saying overkill/extra damage.
Oh, okay, called strikes are lifted from the Battletech stuff, where aiming for parts is important, right? I think i saw something like that one of the games.
So AP burn gives you best of two, not an extra attack?
I just deleted a line about called shots because I got confused by roll under, again. Why is it like that, anyway? Making things harder due to dice not being able to roll 0?
Scrysoc !FYyaKfu33E
Quoted By:
>>5787816 >roll under system My understanding is that it's roughly based on GURPS, which is also a 3d6 roll under system.
>DR means Damage resistance (or perhaps reduction?). It negates its value in damage, every time you get damaged -- very useful for not dying!
>called strikes Aiming for parts is kind of important, in that it allows you to inflict injuries that reduce the combat effectiveness of your foes, but its not necessary. You can usually just whack things until they die.
(just use your best judgement when calling shots. aiming for legs harms their ability to run and dodge, aiming for arms harms their ability to attack and block, and aiming for the head leads to devastating strikes)
>AP burn If you mean the iron circle maneuver, it really does give you an extra attack. Wow! This way you can apply your cool attacking effects to just one attacking instance and save your AP for what *really* matters (which is killing more foes).

Montosi Mornlight !!8Og8gGv6k3r ID:UkYf1kUr Sun 08 Oct 2023 18:20:23 No. 5787845 Report >>5787816 DR is usually damage resistance, or who you'll need to visit once you get stabbed.
And actually AP burn would give you multiple attacks. Each attack costs 3 AP, so with 6 AP you can attack twice. But it's all sort of a personal choice? It ties in a lot to what you do and what you're up against. Because maybe you need to move, or run, or prepare something.
Let me maybe take a slide back and start from somewhere else.
You have 6 AP, and spend 3 to commit to an attack. So you roll against your Path skill. Sometimes this is modified by things being harder or easier to reach, or more or less in cover, or what have you.
Let's say you have a sword. You do one attack against 12 by spending 3 AP. But you could also do 1 attack against 10, and then your attack gets that Bleed modifier (which is at -2). Or you can spend 5 AP on the attack, because it's 3 to attack, 2 to add +2, then use Bleed at full skill. Sometimes you're struggling against many weak enemies, so one attack is plenty per enemy and you want to attack a lot. So you'd make multiple attacks. Some spritelings or monsters aren't individually that strong.
But maybe you're fighting against an enemy who has a shield, or perhaps heavy armor? So you spend 3 AP to attack. You still have 3 AP. You can attack again. That's two attacks this turn. Or you can spend your 3 AP to boost one attack. This is where we wander off into the space of it being a personal choice. Because maybe one attack against 12+3 = 15, is what you need. In a bad situation where there's maybe a penalty or two, you're almost guaranteed to hit, being about 90% accuracy. Maybe the enemy is weak, but really fast and hard to hit?
But maybe your target has heavy armor. Scrysoc there has plate, so he has 2 DR, right? If you hit him, there's a chance your attack will bounce clean off. So maaaayybeee you want to wind up, and use the iron circle to attack once against 9. Or put differently: 3 AP to attack once, skill 12, +3 damage for -3 skill, 1 roll vs 9.
On a normal turn you can do that two times. Because it's 3 AP per attack. But rolling against skill 9 on 3d6 doesn't always work so well, so maybe you want to spend your other AP to boost that. Or maybe you need to move to reach your target. But you'd also want to Defend, which costs 3 AP and makes sure you're a lot harder to kill.
Choices, choices.
But you might want to even be sort of clever? Maybe you make one attack against skill 12, and then one attack immediately against skill 9 where you try to stab someone in the leg (Called, Leg, -3). Maybe the beast you're fighting has a heavily armored body . . . Except for the leg? Maybe your first attack throws it off a little and gives you an opening. That happens.
It feels perhaps complicated, but it's rather easy to think of in the moment. And yeah, I suppose you might think of it as battle tech. Stabbing something in the leg also often slows it down, the arm can disable a weapon, all these little additionals.

>>5788041 Just the very thought I had, Wyrmhunter. We'll pile the mining detritus in the shaft wagon, then I'll light it. It won't last forever, but it'll give us some light.

Rolled 6, 5, 6, 6 = 23 (4d6) >>5787491 Alright, sword and board it is and let's see where this takes us!
Not sure how much Focus matters. I saw some other sheets from the archived threads that let you convert it into AP or health, but not sure that applies here? On the other hand, I want to hold the line, and Terror would be an issue, no matter how rare. So I'll hold, though I do worry about staying power.

If there's company to be had, best ruin the surprise while they have plentiful torchlight."
I have no clue if my action economy is correct, but let's go! Also, should DR be included in the stats somewhere? Also, I have no clue how much one is supposed to roll, so I'll go with one dice per AP that wasn't spent on walking, since that seems unnecessary.

>>5788100 Great work, Armee! I'll get that lit up right as we are.
>>5788080 >>5788069 I think the trick to Focus this time around is that it wards you passively against horrors. So you roll your Focus when something horrifying occurs. Everyone might have the same 12, but there's differences for how close you are to the horror and so on, how wounded someone is, all that.
I'm still fairly confident your Focus still allows you to push yourself by spending it for 1 AP. And I'm also fairly confident that you can Focus on a task as a minor or major action and then get a bonus to do it by rolling against your Focus. Sort of like Notice and Understanding but for zeroing in on something then doing it. But I think it requires a little gradual experimentation, potentially the blessing of the sun or the light. Maybe it only works in adrenaline soaked melee combat, of which we're finding little in these mines so far. Also I imagine if you do that, you won't be as able to do other things.
And the dice rolls are 3d6 per discreet action. Somewhat interestingly, you did in fact roll enough dice. Nice!
And another shield? Fantastic. How about I stay well behind you. Not having a shield make someone frightfully too easy to stab to death.

>>5788981 At this junction, I should explain the terrain.
You may notice that some hexes have lines of dots along their perimeter, or that some hexes are innately darker than others (ignoring lighting effects).
The lighter a tile is colored the more elevated it is, the dot lines denote transition points between elevations.
In this map there will only be slopes, which is to say no tile will be more than 1 [level] higher than its neighbor.
> =What does this mean for me= + Firing a ranged weapon from elevation above your target grants an accuracy bonus equal to the difference in elevation between the two of you.
+ Walking down a slope does not cost movement (speed or AP) to do. It's free.
+ Walking up a slope costs 2 movement (speed or AP) to do.

Sadly, there was too much darkness and not enough light in this Sun-forsaken mine. To remedy this, Ortus pulled out his multi-tool, popped the top rims off of two of the barrels, and crimped them into a back mounted torch bracket.
Thus armed, Ortus advanced into the darkness.

That Gaunt's damage roll was just so phenomenally miserable that your DR handily negated the hit.

Large two-handed weapons aren't at their best in such conditions, but Boulder sure makes it work. Theudric just hopes he won't bring the tunnel down on them. The larger Lantern reacts to their de facto leader's order first, rushing in. Theudric follows, trying to secure the new left flank as best he can, Bulwark in his left, broadsword in his right, eyes and ears on a swivel, but focused on the left. He hears something that way. Something really articulate for a spriteling. He's glad to have his sword out again, though he hopes someone brings up a lantern or torch while he holds.

>>5793015 Please...
>>5792983 If you could such would be grand.
It might be the miners were trying the alchemic way of clearing rock, and every little powder-blaster in a wall is care to crack the earth for further splitting. Then the Spritelings come a-roaming and stop the effort. At the best of time, even with charge-powder and whathavewenot, mine work is slow work.
Such is the sensible, simple, soft solution to finding these charges.
Yet, there's hardly any storage for other fuses around here, is there? And the walls don't look blown open. Nor is there much true sense in setting charges near the entrance of a mine that spreads into the earth. What new rock are you clearing? Other than risk the whole thing collapsing on your head.
Unless you were freeing something, locked in the mines, or readying a counter-blast if someone else sealed it all in. Perhaps this small alcove hit a particularly dense layer of old debris, something best buried rather than blasted free.
It's worth a closer look, on principle. Take my place.

I'm still not sure how flashfire works, since it's only mentioned in the first character sheet as an example, but apparently anyone can craft it with Gear?

>>5793927 See that's the problem. Flashfire is mentioned in the sheet, alongside the fact that the Liquid Courage trait gives you an infinite supply. So it can be crafted with Gear by someone who doesn't have the trait, turning it into a finite supply, right? But I haven't seen a list of craftables and their respective gear costs anywhere? Or perhaps I should understand the first sheet as "Expend 1 Gear for 1d3 effect or 1 small item" So 12 vials of flashfire.
Note that I also haven't seen a description of what flashfire is, not even in the Liquid Courage section. Hopefully i can be relied on to set flammable materials aflame, and maybe stick to stuff?
We're also both a little busy for a gear check or a Understand action, I think.

Montosi Mornlight !!8Og8gGv6k3r ID:UkYf1kUr Fri 13 Oct 2023 15:24:40 No. 5793959 Report >>5793927 >>5793928 Yes, and yes - that's the trick of it. Someone with liquid courage is bearing a supply bag worth of alchemical preparations, carefully sourced during .... some other hour.
So, everyone keeps a few knickknacks up their sleeves. So you can spend 1 gear to have a flashfire vial close to hand. Which, as the name suggests, flashes fire.
Now how much fire it flashes it generally the amount of it that you have, it's measured in vial-equivalents, and one vial is 1d3 fire when the vial shatters and is exposed to air. Upon exposure, the alchemicals react with great volatility and you get the fire. And the flash.
You can have larger amounts of fireflash in larger containers. So fireflash 3 in a clay urn would be 3d3 fire. And you can, perhaps, be carrying such a claypot for emergencies. This would then cost you 3 gear, out of your limited supply.
But what about Liquid Courage, I hear you hark? Well, they could have such a larger clay urn too. Its just that for them, it takes 1 AP per 1d3 and they don't spend "gear" to prepare these concoctions. because, in a certain cosmic sense, they were already made earlier. This naturally brings up a lot of little questions, along the lines of, if you have an inquiring mind
>oh so I can spend 2000 AP and have a wildfire? >oh so if I spend 6 AP per turn for 3 turns I have 18d3 flashfire? >oh so if I spend 12 Focus this turn I have 12d3? And other such measures, and, frankly, that sort of thing is going to end a lot worse for anyone stretching the boundaries of believability and supply capacity than they think it will. You'd be limited to however much AP you can spend in one similar action to pull out that much flashfire because it will always be a distinct, defined, distinguished piece of kit. You wouldn't be able to layer it over turns or spend more or any such other chemical crime.
So, 3 AP is the standard, giving someone with Liquid Courage 3d3 as they prepare it. Or anyone, really, if they spend 3 Gear. You'll spot the little lifesaver here, either prepare the concoctions slowly or use gear to have had them prepared but at cost.
( Then you'd still need to throw it. Which is a Major Action that costs 3 AP )
That's actually why Liquid Courage mentions you have Oil. Throw an oil preparation at someone first, 3 AP, and then huck a *small* vial of flashfire their way, also 3 AP. You wouldn't spend gear on this one, you have Liquid Courage supplies! An the two in combination is a lot more volatile than flashfire on its own, which burns bright and quick. Oh and the Oil, unlike a small vial of flashfire, coats an area. That then gets lit up.
... Now for other sorts of things, you'd have oil too, as a normal lantern. But as gear mentions, you'd only have 1d3 "effect" of oil for 1 gear, so it wouldn't work as well. For known items, like a torch or a bandage or a bag of salt, one gear also gives you this item.
Montosi Mornlight !!8Og8gGv6k3r
Montosi Mornlight !!8Og8gGv6k3r ID:UkYf1kUr Fri 13 Oct 2023 15:36:33 No. 5793965 Report >>5793959 I like to have some of my Gear reserved for some *small knives*, which are always easy to have had up your sleeve. In case I find I need to throw the daggers I have in hand, or hand them to a friend. A knife is a small, light item. And it'd do 1d3 melee damage, as opposed to these long combat daggers that are are a lot worse. And that sort of thing might save your life.
Wait, I hear your question advancing at speed down the hallway of Understanding, does this imply that you can use Gear to pull a suit of armor or a spear or a bow or a helmet out of your backpack?
Yes and noooooo.
One gear is one small item. And there's no guarantee the quartermaster specifically prepared the thing you want. And their primary distinction as a trait is that they're frail, quick, small and portable. An emergency knife is fine. A flashfire. A bandage. A coil of rope.
But what if you want something more? You're not a Windsoul, but you might want a bow, right? Or a small prayer amulet. A map. Perhaps a cracked and fractured shardstone, for a brief burst of the Strange.
Well, you can actually have been smart enough to have packed these things. But there's some considerations.
You'd always have to minimally spend as much gear as the item is generally rated. So a sword is *at least 2*, because 2d3 is at least enough effect to equal 1d6 of a standard blade. But the *Blade* that the Path of Blades bring to battle are forged-made, masterwork, hardened alloy steel tapered to a point sharper than the tongue of your spurned lovers, weighted to your preference, and worn to your satisfaction. A emergency sword you might have strapped to your back and try to pull out with Gear is... at best a slapdash measure.
That said, it should be noted that your Path skills are something everyone has. If you find a spear on the ground, you can pick it up and use it. With the basic assumption that you've been paying attention to the instructions of the master of arms, and therefore, have rudimentary spear skills.
So, a bow. Or small crossbow. Well, try 3 gear. But then also ... unlike the Path of the Bow, who brings a full quiver, and a windsoul who brings more, how much gear are you trading in for a quiver of bolts?
You learn to customise your kit a little as you wander in the dark. Some things are good for you. Some things are harder.
Simultaneously Gear cannot violate the strictures of space of time. And you've been pretty well established not to have a sword up your sleeve if someone disarms you. So trying to cry foul and pulling a new one of your backpack is going to make Reality look at you with knife-like intentions. That's why if you try to, and I'm so, so, so very sorry for suggesting that you might do this, to extract with "gear" some unknown, undefined item quality that isn't even supplied by the standard Quartermaster list, you really mostly run the risk of finding anything at all in your pockets, like scorpions. Isol.

For that matter, is dumping the bag of soil over the threshold a single smooth 3AP action or do I have to spend extra due to having no "free" hand? Otherwise I'm thinking bash 6, then salt.
In the meantime, if either Guang or Armee could deal with the half-dead one on my left.

Also, those yellow damage numbers, are they Whitley's acid or are those pale trails from 2 supposed to mean that I'm being shot at?
Either way, I'm calling it good enough for now. Once I get a confirmation the damage is me being shot at from the East, I'll retreat 3 behind that ledge to break line of sight (while being careful about the acid). Let's let the small fry clump up a bit more on the flammable stuff while we ready torches and flashfire.
Wonder how long that salt will keep its potency in such a place.

(Feel free to spend a Focus point on avoidance if necessary, QM.) >"They're shooting back at us, don't stay out of cover!...hhrrg..." Theudric grunts as the pain of two...arrows? embedded in his plate finally registers past the adrenaline. The plate did it's job, turning crippling shots into merely concerning ones, but he wasn't expecting the opposition to have ranged weaponry, let alone the kind that could be carried and shot with such precision. He was back-lit by the torches and vulnerable, but still, those shots betray a worrying amount of skill.
For now, the salt holds. Theudric keeps ab on the opening as he sits down and braces against the wall. Training says leave the arrows in, but that applies to normal arrows, not whatever he just got hit with. Who knows what corrupting effects leaving them in might have, not to mention what they could be made of...and he still has bandages anyway.
>3AP Pull out arrow instead of breaking off the shaft. Can't take risks here. >3AP Bandage the wound I'm not sure if it could be counted as one single action again. If I can do both, then change it to that. If not, then it's not so bad, as I'll get to see the effects of pulling out just one, just in case I almost kill myself doing it.
I'm also assuming that bandaging a wound was covered in basic Lantern training.

Rolled 4, 2, 1 = 7 (3d6) I've got the runner. Eager, rinse. Kill!
Troubling implications in this map I found. Only matches in a few spots, including this rigged cavern. The rest, no match... human error, or the caves have been remade, or are overlaid with the Other. Many annotations, attitude agitated but not confused. Suggests the cave was infested at time of writing, but that the map was still largely if not entirely true. Writer appears to have planned to seal this cavern off, then tunnel out. Rough job. Be lucky to have ears by the end of it.
Some of the markings might be interpreted as the poor soul having visited a 'Gnist' before coming here.
//QM, I think it's fair to ask: Will I be able to request to see the annotated map for reference, or should I simply accept its narrative significance?

Rolled 2, 2, 3 = 7 (3d6) >>5801230 "Theudric shakes himself awake, having lost himself in the echo of the pain for a moment. He is slightly slower than Armee at rushing out towards the one discordant sound in the symphony of the ongoing carnage. A sound he is very familiar with. The peculiar clang of a sword parrying another as both combatants put killing intent in the blow, straining their blades against each other's. Something out there has a sword, likely a big one to get that kind of sound out of Guang's two-hander, and with the strength to wield it well."
>3MP, 1Focus: Move 2166 "Theudric's mind doesn't reel as he rounds the corner and sees the bloated beast, simply taking in the overly-distended meat and the pieces of armor, arranged not unlike his own. A properly-armored foe. And a big one too. Perhaps holding the line is not the best idea. Besides, Armee is ahead of him, pulling off some complicated maneuver to light the beast ablaze, and opening the way for Guang to go for the eyes. Theudric is relieved that the other lantern wasn't stunned by the blow he parried. He's not sure he could have done the same, especially in his current state."
>3AP: Open then throw a bag of salt at the Gwyllion "An armored target is a fearsome foe, but armor does not cover everything. Not fire, as many a Lantern has found out today, and in the abominations' case, not salt either. Besides, Armee has the fire covered, so poket salt it is!"
>3AP: Equip Broadsword. "As he goes through the motion of opening his bag of salt, Theudric realizes he zoned out before he could retrieve his sword. He rectifies this mistake as the salt pouch flies towards its target. The good thing about it being so large is that the salt cannot fully miss, especially with a distracted target right in front of him, and the other tow Lanterns flanking it."

Unable to advance, Ready takes a closer look at the map. [posted by QM in discord]
Initial observation: Mine layout differs too greatly from the map to attribute to simple human error.
Unrelated hypothesis: Mass of displaced cave walls is conserved.
The original layout included regularly-shaped rooms not far from the entrance. Quarters and storage, presumably. Two of these rooms had no notes about threats or routes at all. It might be assumed that these were places of relative safety at first, and were never revisited by the writer once he'd left.
Seemingly, whatever force reshaped the walls did not consider one miner high enough priority to simply trap and encase, or else it is bound by unknown limitations. It did, however, thicken the wall the miner planned to tunnel through. Assuming an intelligence behind it, it is unclear why it has not taken measures to hide or destroy the explosives we have discovered.

Arrows act like hands because you can shoot them at levers and switches and other things. Pin things, knock off vases, do trickshots, hit switches, hit at just the right spot to fling a rope.
Arrows cannot curve mid-flight to activate a bomb-wiring. You'd have to shoot a second arrow to trip it somehow.
Unfortunately even Windsoul Accuracy cannot help you when point-blank fire a proximity trigger ballbearing alchemical contraption right into a wall half a foot from your own face.

Rounding the corner Ortus saw a Lantern lying down on the job. "On your feet soldier. We've work to do".
It was then that Ortus noticed the foul shrine to darkness. Well, time to cauterize another wound in reality. Ortus pulled a heavy flask of oil off his belt and tossed it on the idol. He then took his shot of alcohol and misted it across the little flames dancing across his armor to transmute the idol of darkness into a pyre of flame. What a merry camp fire. He'd just warm his bones a bit and deal with what was left of the big one later.

. . . I hardly mean to rain on your parade, but I think whoever sold you "regeneration" potions were having you on.
Those... Do not exist. What is the potion meant to do, precisely? Make your limbs grow back faster? That takes weeks. Where does it get the energy? How do you not starve to death force-knitting your own wounded flesh close? How does the potion know what part of you is damaged? If it works by overclocking your natural hormonal system, how do you not fall over on your feet, intensely fatigued, as you experience a month of bedrest in a flash second? Where do you get the ingredients? How do you ensure that the chemically dubious concoction does not have a horrible, absolutely violent reaction with your metabolic systems? How do you know its not nerve-toxic? If it works by promoting enhanced growth of tissues, how do you deal with the cancers? They would be EXCEEDINGLY aggressive. If there is dirt in your wounds and you have neither bandaged nor cleaned them and the skin is force-knit closed over them, does the potion solve the sepsis? How does your liver work on digesting the potion? By logical axioms, the potion itself is regenerative so the moment it enters your system it is exposed to your throat, your stomach, your digestive linings, does it not heal those first? There would be no plausible mechanism by which it spreads throughout your biology, and if that is the case, the potion would promote growth and healing in mutually contradicting places. I do not think you want your skeleton to grow at a faster pace, unbalanced, than the skin on your right hand or the muscles in your shoulder, because that would tear your ligaments in all sorts of horrific, horrible ways. If the potion regenerates what happens to the naturally occurring bacteria that cluster on such things, inside such things, in your gut, on a blade? Do they not also grow faster, at a prodigious rate? Does the viral culture in a bottle some bootleg Reikan potion-huckster just sold you mean you are about to be exposed to interesting new varietals of the flu, of gut burn, of glass-breath, of brain rot, of dermis-doom? If the potion causes regeneration and has biologically active components would it not by nature and design regenerate those first, reverting from a state of even being a potion at all? Does the fact that it has not and you call it a potion not argue rather strongly that whatever it was you just poured down your gullet, it had, at best, the healing properties of sewage water and at worst the viral load of licking a Pytherii Public Bath? If the regeneration is somehow on a time delay becausee it must be activated by some sort of process in your gut, then I applaud the alchemist who taught of it, and I have heard of formulae for just that, but if so, how is it evenly distributed throughout your body at time of activation? And if it is not, how does your spine not grow misaligned to your brain?

Montosi Mornlight !!8Og8gGv6k3r ID:UkYf1kUr Sat 21 Oct 2023 00:44:56 No. 5802658 Report >>5802651 If the potion is "regenerative" does it exclusively alleviate soft tissue pain, blood related trauma, hard skeletal structure, musculature or open wounds that are exposed to air? And if does any of the prior, how does it know when to stop doing it? If your brain goes too large for your skull your eyes will be forced shut from over-pressure and your optic nerves severe by being pressed into your own skull, which has, I should tell you, very sharp internal dimensions! If your "regenerative potion" works by somehow flash-fusing skeleton structure closed again, then I hope by the Icons Good Grace that your bones still remain flexible or they will either snap as you try to move, ripped by your own muscles, or, in turn, cause the ligaments to damage the soft tissue they are attached to! That would be solvable except if the potions is regenerative it will then set about solving that newly introduced set of biologically improbable damages, which necessities solving even further compounding medical trauma! And if it does any of the exceedingly long lost of things that a simply brew of alchemical gunk boiled in a cauldron by a charlatan cannot possibly do then how are you going to have the caloric excess to pay the nutritional cost for it! And if you do not, I hope you enjoy entering rapid onset starvation, because we are going to need to shove bread down your throat rather rapidly and I only packed enough salted butter for myself because I get snackish when I face ethereal horrors in the dark of night.
If whatever third-rate potion-peddler who promised love, life and regenerative hairlines got the mixing process wrong for the alchemical artifact that you just poured down your gullet how do you know there will not be absolutely atrocious side-effects from a bad batch brew process? What quality control did the maker have? Is it a certified potion of any organisation with a company guild marker or charter anywhere in the land and how many people die each year from lead poisoning or other such following exposure

Can it induce neurological state change in subjects by reverting the onset of damage due to a concussion or mace blow? Can it shape personalities?
If you had a regeneration potion that provably worked why did you not sell it to a consortium of companies and form a charter and set up a factory and mass produce such a thing to flood the market with low-price cures for every known ailment in existence. Why did you not sell it to a Reikan magnate or Senator with a limp, any veteran on any street in any city would pay a kings ransom to restore their war-torn limbs you would have made more bits in the hawking of snake oil in a glassblowing bottle than a thousand emperors taxing a thousand-thousand cities of regal splendor you could have sold the samples to an alchemist and everyone in the known vast world would have knife-fought for just a drop of the stuff you just drank

Friend Montosi, come philosophize with me by this flame. Where does it get the energy? From the flames that ride with me? Outside in and inside out? How does the potion know that which should be restored? How does water know to fill a jar? Where do I get the ingredients? From the red priests. How do I avoid mystical, mental and metabolic instability? Faith, prayer, meditation, and motion. Does the potion solve sepsis? Is blood purified by fire or does it simply gel as the moisture evaporates, passing from the beautiful read of the flame to the tired tan of the traveler to the burnt black of the iron pan? If those who ride within me in this shell were to heal to their best state, why would that cause them to multiply? Are they me and am I they? What is the difference between the me which digests food and the me which pumps blood and the me which keeps out the darkness and the me which burns with faith? Does that which repairs destroy my liver? Would that which restores bring disharmony?

I refuse! The night is long and full of terrors and this is the most frightening of them all so far!
I am *going* to find a theurge and I am going to ask them questions about your bottled quacksalvery and so help me the Stars if they don't have an answer!
>>5803072 But there are things I know the answer to!
The Iron Circle is one. I appreciate being wary of using it, you should be. In this particular environment and with our training, it can be hard. But anyway.
When you Strike, you attack as a major action for 3 AP.
When the Iron Circle demands -4 of your skill for a Strike, it allows one to do this at strike at -4 Skill. So take Path, -4, get effective skill, roll that. Iron Circle applies to everything in the same action.
So layer a Strike. This could be a second strike. Or a third or a fourth or a ... Each one would take the penalty of the total, so whirlwind blades of 4 attacks are hard to do (-16)
Remember that significant failures on attempts tend to have consequences, so rolling 6 attacks at -20 is apt to be how you drop your sword on the first swish.
But yes, you do get to roll each attack that you Strike with, if you Iron Circle a strike.
Yet if you paid close attention, you saw that I did not say a -4 Iron Circle Strike was, in itself, a Major Action. That is because it is not. It is possible to layer this strike on to other things that you do, such as if you climb a ladder at speed and wish to strike at the end. In a particularly dire circumstance, I could try to use the field kit *and* strike simultaneously. Or any other clever use. The issue is the skill requirements are right stiff, as you accrue -4 to everything. So if my Medicine is 10 and my Daggers are 11, I'd end at 6/7 for that combination.
Iron Circle even layers with itself, so one could say
Strike, Strike, Windup. That is -5, but delivers 2 heaving blows, *each* of which gets the +1 damage.
A Blade innately makes this easier, because your path skills start at 12. This might not seem significant. It does mean your Strikes if you do tworesolve against 8. Sure, that's not the greatest skilll, but it's reliably enough. A single Focus takes you to 9, which with two attacks is close enough for comfort. If Scrysoc rallies you and your blows get better, if you have a superior position, if you're bolstered, suddenly things get markedly easier to do.
Strikes also have other utility. You can target different targets!

A Strike is also interesting if you have utilities you want to use as part of an attack. You can strike with your weapon *and* kick. Or push, or shove, or grab. Or throw something. Strike doesn't really mean "use your weapon and only your weapon", you can try to do other things. This gets more useful if you're holding, say, a torch?
Take a swipe with a blade and strike with the torch. You might feel that's low effective skill (it is) but no Gaunt I know likes having a torch shoved in their face, so it shakes out better for you even if what you're doing is two low-skill attacks. Have a bag of salt? Same deal.
Striking also allows you to be a little more fluid, because you an consider it the price you pay to do something else while simultaneously attack. If we pretend Armee was on the ground and stuck, and needed acute help to get up, one could step to dear Armee and take a major action to help them up and a -4 Strike against any targets in range as part of it. Because the act of helping Armee up on its own is not something one really needs to roll for, it happens independently of the strike (which is, really, just a quick warding blow to keep monsters off of your back).
If you think of it like that, suddenly it has a whole expanded set of uses, if your risk tolerance is high enough (Remember that failing by enough margin is problematic)
There's a target far away? You can rush in. Step 3 with Speed, step 3 with AP *and strike*. The charge is difficult to do, but everything helps. This is particularly useful if you have a superior position, because if you rush down a slope and charge a foe, your attack is apt to have some position benefits that offsets the negatives. Get them in the back while they're occupied. It's not honorable, but who keeps score when fighting Gaunts?
You need to do something handy and monsters around you abound? Do the thing *and Strike*. Yeah, the attack itself is not going to precisely slice across the Gaunts and kill them where they skitter, but you could do some damage while you finish up opening a door, flipping a table, shoving a friend up a ladder.
You're always going to benefit more from planting your feet and delivering one precise blow at high skill if your goal is to land a deliberate hit and defeat the enemy. But Striking gives you flexibility to get into position, get out of position, or remain mobile.
If you're cunning enough, you can even perform the Fading Cut. Oh? That gets your attention?
>Get ready to Dodge XXXdirection *and Strike (SkillYYY) Is this hard to do? Yeah it's hard to do. Pulling it off is going to kill you if you don't know what you're doing. But this job isn't easy, Lantern.

>>5804452 And the thing about Strikes is they do get easier if your skill grows a tiny fractional bit. If you savvy yourself a good swordsman at 12, you're a better fighter than most garrison members. At 13, you're reasonably eminent. And if you ever reach 14 effective skill, suddenly, something interesting starts happening.
Two strikes at 8 isn't the whole world. It's good, but so is a lot of things.
Two strikes at 9 is worth watching out for.
Two strikes at 10 against one strike at 14? Woah now, wildcutter.
Two Strikes at 11 against one strike at 15? This is starting to be an unfair fight for anyone you're up against. And at that sort of skill, you might even start to consider . . . Well, no. It might still be too early for the dread third.
Two strikes at 12 against one strike at 16 is not even a contest. You're so good with a blade we should start having you shave the company.
And three strikes at 8 against 1 strike at 16? These sorts of odds are... worth trying.
And you might think it's eminently hard to ever reach 16 skill, but I tell you: You just need to focus a little on it. Half a nudge at the right moment. Plant your feet an Aim first.
A 5 AP attack might quite reasonably be two strikes at 10. Saves you that singular AP for scratching your nose or waving your torch about.
And all this gets stranger still if you have other 3 AP actions you'd very much like to do, such as Shards, or Spoolbows, or field kits, or some commanding voice-work. Or a Brawling throw-down (Yeah, you can strike as you elbow-drop)
---
While we're on the fair subject, a Blade at 12 is deadly, but a blade through a shoulder at 9? Well, I'm not personally a fan of my enemies being able to wield their weapons, so maybe call a shot or two.
Ready
>>5804452 Hoooooold on. Since Iron Circle can be tacked on to minor actions like Steps, doesn't that mean that a Windsoul can tack a Strike onto every reload if they accept the risk of fumbling and slingshotting the bow into their own face?

Theudric !!9MUw62lDl6S
Quoted By:
>>5808930 "Theudric is still reeling from the malformed, malign abomination in front of him when Isol moves past and...climbs into it, disappearing from view. Everything clicks together. The missing Lanterns, the pattern of the explosion...they were thrown at this...thing, which is a threshold to...someplace. Nowhere good. Theudric hopes Isol knows what he's doing. Since his fellow Lantern doesn't look to be under any kind of compulsion, and took the time to anchor himself, that means he's going after the others, and hoping to bring them back through here. Theudric glances around at the pool of salt, the diminishing light, the murmurs and scrapes of claws on the ground from the nearby tunnels...as it turns out, there is still a line to be held."
>3 AP Put Broadsword into salt, taking the opportunity to coat the blade in it. There's enough of it around for that I think. >3AP Take out torch, light it and stick it into a crack on the wall nearby (Feel free to make me move to the nearest wall and back if I'm not seeing right and there's no wall in range, I won't be using it anyway.) I'm still unclear on whether changing held items counts as a 3AP or 1AP action, somehow, but I'd rather overspend rather than fumble.
I know holding here isn't the current plan, but if they come back and no one's there, our three brave and mostly unwilling explorers of the darkened depths are going to be ripped to shreds. Besides, no one told Theudric about the plan! And he was temporarily deaf anyway! Besides, this looks like a strong enough position, and is within reinforcement range of the others.

Quoted By:
Preparations continue apace.
Corpses are largely sorted. Burning in the north, poisoned in the east (we'll see how that turns out, low-light measures are valuable if they're effective), burning far east... Boulder, you've set up your own grudge match, because whatever emerges from the pool will probably be carrying that shield, and it's definitely going to remember you. Otherwise, corpses remain a priority, so everyone keep at it.
Barricade is up. It could always be better. Gather rubble for Boulder to throw, set up tripping hazards outside, build a fallback position... Be devious, be prepared. Just announce what you're doing.
All going well, the west tunnel will be collapsed within two hours, which hopefully puts paid to the suspected wretchweave nest.
If you're near a mostly-black region on this map,
>>5806849 consider kicking it or touching it with a torch to see if the wretchweaves put that wall there.
Lastly, everyone send Isol your energy. But not too loudly. If I had an as for every time a Lantern attracted the Hooded Eye and a quarter for every time one stumbled into its realm, I'd have a sestertius. Which isn't much, but it's a weird total to achieve.

Rolled 5, 4, 1 = 10 (3d6) >>5811192 I will say that rope threw me off a little. Looking back, it's on the ground from last turn but must've ended up on the wrong layer? Or is it just the objects layer being above the player models one?
"Theudric is just done sticking the torch into a wall when he hears a scuffle from the tunnel he originally came from to face the Gwyllion. Looks like the Spritelings are back already, not content to wait for the dark. At least the sound of Guang's two-hander blade s striking Gaunt flesh means this isn't a one-sided affair. Seeing nothing coming up from the tunnels in front, Theudric picks up his sword and rushes towars the commotion, shielding his eyes from the large pyre as he moves around it, boots kicking up salt as he does."
>3AP Pick up salt-covered Broadsword. >3MP move 432 >3AP Bash Gaunt into wall. Should be the one at 2 from the approach angle. No fancy tricks. "Theudric happens on a single battered Gaunt, albeit one that could strike at Ortus's back as he defends against at least two others Theudric can faintly hear above the warm crackles of the fire. Hostiles within /his/ defensive line? That simply will not do. Away with ye, foul beast."

//The fire burns bright, but wavers.
High initial success. Gwyllion and three Gaunts slain. Several Spritelings and Wretchweaves slain. Forward barricade established. Security and sanitation of taken ground thorough, time permitting. Three Lanterns, including medic, downed or missing by ordnance-related incidents.
No signs of resistance by human residents. Drastic differences noted between recovered map and reconnaissance. Reshaping influence not observed in action. Roughly half of mapped area explored. Pools of shadow discovered, with totems nearby. Left undisturbed pending recovery of missing Lanterns. Darklings deviate from expected gluttony and wave tactics: uneaten corpses, tactical retreats, coordinated sneak attacks. Theurgicaly warded box discovered with map. Bearer assumed killed by Wretchweaves. 'Gnist' recorded as point of interest on map.
Squad requesting: Standard kit and gear resupply, medical care, coffee, analysis of warded box, guard detail at mine entrance, detail at barricade as feasible.
Advising: Digging equipment. Vigilance against unexpected enemy approach via ceiling, false walls, aforementioned unobserved reshaping force. Caution around Glinters, which mark traps. Caution in absence of Glinters, as doctrine is not universal. Dog named Eager.

Quoted By:
That's a fine trick, Boulder.
The walls can feel. But the nerves shy from fire and don't seem to cross salt. They are capable of reshaping this cave. But they lack at least one of: higher intelligence, prompt communication with the gaunts, or conventional concern for gaunts. Otherwise, we would expect the cluster four hexes east of the barricade to have spoiled Whitley's trap.
Nerves are curiously formed in the floor southeast, as though accommodating some architecture. Significance unclear.
The miner map notes do not indicate that the walls can shift at great speed. Not for the sake of entombing a lone miner, at least. Indeed, we haven't seen them shift at all. But we do know they are capable. Whether we choose to take on the north- or southeast next, we'll want to line our path there with salt or fire all the way back to the barricade, and ideally back to the cave entrance. Consider that a new hygiene-like project.
Talk of action aside, half of us are pretty beat up. Soonest we can try for anything intensive is two turns, and then it will be night. I believe our time is best spent patching up, destroying the totems and laying salt to contain the movement of gaunts and walls from the southeast.
>>5819848 May we rely on you to get the one north of the barricade also? We've seen it here.
>>5805149 Should be a clear shot.

A hopeful thought, Ortus. Reasonable, even. But just as reasonable to suppose that the northeast is where the rocknerves gestate into more mobile forms. Still, so tightly and orderly packed, it suggests inactivity. A small party should be happy enough to find survivors or a chance at a preemptive strike up there.

That... is a heavier blast wave than I expected to feel. But if I can feel it, the cave hasn't closed behind me.
Theudric, Guang, need at least one of you to keep the east barricade standing. With your multitools and the rubble nearby, it's much easier to fix up than a body.
>>5827332 Stingy of you to want all this fun for yourself, Ernhard. Mind that Nightgaunt. We've met it before. It has tricks.
>>5793939 A splash of salt will finish off the injured Gaunts near us. If you're of a mind to make a stand here, that wouldn't be a bad start, setting our terrain and keeping the prospect of closing these tunnels somewhat in reach. I'll need you to cover me until I've patched up a bit, though. Perhaps Hark is not limited to yourself? Something to investigate in a spare moment.
You could probably argue to QM that all that sentry duty gave you plenty of time to Think about such matters. Alternately, there is a narrower chokepoints behind us. More friends too, but we can expect them to have their hands full these coming hours. Your call.
