Quoted By:

In some worlds, quiet cunning heroes strive against the malign intents of madmen. You can fight shadows with slick style, suave words and the coordination of your peers.

But sometimes
in some places

You want to just walk right up to the gates and punch the first man you see and then keep punching

In difference to a new, harrowing way of doing things, long desperate cries have persuaded the old scribe to try something . . . different.

So now instead of hammering you with the artistic design sensibilities of a blind stoat, we're trying plainer text. Personally I think it's a fad that won't catch on, but who am I to say but the universal clockwork mechanism?

So peruse the information up and over, and as usual, expect half to be lies and half to be misinterpretation of lies. You should ask questions. It builds character.

But for now, exist. Tell us a little about yourself, maskmate. We have to ask these questions, see.

Quoted By:

Perhaps, if you intend to embark on grand adventure, you could do well with a tool or three up your sleeve?

Kit and bits and tools and tricks all have Weight - and if you bring more than your Grit-10 (this is commonly 2), you'll find yourself slowed down tremendously by the weight of it all. Once you're past that threshold, then each multiple is -1 to Reaction and Move. That slows you down rather some severely.

Armor, as well, decreases Reaction and Move. That's in addition to the sheer weight of it, so if you wear a lot of armor, you'll find that you're penalized first by the weight and then by the constrictions of it. But bright side, it keeps you alive and the world at some distance, so if you don't find yourself needing to move at speed sometimes it can be quite useful to strap something heavy to yourself.

We're warmed up. It's time!

Dance the Green, to rescue friends and help the world.

In order:
Infiltrate the Grey Manor
Find and rescue our kidnapped friends
They have stolen people and keep them here under lock and key. Find out why, and if you can, rescue our missing friends!
Find evidence or information that implicates the Slicerats in a Nefarious Conspiracy.
Mistil, our spy in their midst, tells us that in the manor the Slicerats meet with distant benefactors. Locate their correspondence, and we have proof that Rinik and his Rats are trying to undermine the security of the city
Embarass Rinik and his Slicerats
This crop of Slicerats are training to be Greyrat Cadre, and so if we bloody their noses we send a signal that they're not so frightening after all. Take them out, in style! Cause some chaos! If we can damage their training equipment, that works too!

Get out alive
The Grey Manor sits among a restoration project of swarthy workcrews. But the Slicerats have infiltrated their number - if an they blare the alarm, a trap snaps shut and we'll have to fight our way out. Be fast!
--

Roll right in through the gates, or try something clever. Flashpan and our veteran contacts are watching the situation as it develops.

Quoted By:

Onwards!

Though, perhaps, a point of order - one uses Influence on a specific target. In this case, 3 AP gets you 3 rolls - one for each ally nearby. The World has gone and done that for you.

Alternatively, Flashpan's guidance lets you use dispersed initiative planning where 3 AP and an influence roll orders someone else to take an action - quite handy, if you can work together. Someone orders someone else to take an action (or spend about 3 AP).

In this case, the critical influence roll grants your allies the critical effect of +2 AP this turn! It would also restore a little guard, if they had lost any, and shake off some terror, if they were frightened, and motivate them, if they were feeling intimidated.

Otherwise:
- Yes, without Agility one cannot Dash (or Sprint)

Quoted By:

Be careful, Sal. Everyone here trains together twelve hours a day, sleeps together in the same bunk barracks bed for eight hours and eats in the same mess hall while peeling spuds in the same kitchen. They know each others faces. Can tell a friend from a foe by the rythm of their gait. Stay low and stay out of sight if you want to pretend to be one of them. At distance, we'll fade into the background.

Whatever you do, avoid direct contact with the Greyrats who lord it over their lessers and surely mark their flaws and foibles at each step of their training. They'll see through your disguise in a breath. Rinik's cutters practice paranoia with professional prowess.

Yes, actually, quite like the one who runs their cold eyes over you at this very moment and notes the flaws in your stance, the gaps in your guard and the lack of loyalty in your soul. Quirks an eyebrow. Adjusts their rebreather. Thinks dagger-thoughts.

You might not have too long before they realize you're not one of them, but maybe you can spin it?

The prison-place is busy, scribbles on paper, little workers taking notes. One guard at attention blocks access to a door loaded with heavy locks. The two chemical-expert rats are noting down the results of some recent experiment. Maybe one of them needs a break? Or you're here to take the prisoners for a walk? Uhhhh-- you'll think of something.

Fourth Dusk leads us in and Brittlebird follows up with a rousing yell. The Slicerats don't quite know what is happening, or how, too shocked, surprised or unaware to react.

Who would be quite mad enough to attack a fortified compound teeming with Rinik's professionals head on?

Well.

What was that sound? What was *sound*?

It comes back to you, slow, the whole ordeal of interpreting vibrations in the air through membranes. Feels distorted, as if your thousand-thousand ears are not recieving the signals properly and the central processing cluster cannot interpret the ward-words of the keening core at the centre of it all and that's when you realize with faint dawning horror that that's because you are, it seems, some sort of limited fleshbound creature all aflutter with nerves, fluids and hormonal glands.

Frightening thought.

Sal lashes out with a full swing move that scrapes her boots across the cramped walls of the small prison-compound. A slicerat ducks and a chem-rat scribbling away on paper lets out a yelp.

The Quiet Prowler leans back and brings an arms up, stealing the momentum of the kick with a subtle half-spin. Clicks their tongue. Shifts feet, brings their hands up. Appreciates Sal's footwork, if not the sudden but inevitable betrayal.

Rinik's cadre of Greyrats and Greyrats in training spring into action. But Riv's pulling and turning of various valves and pipes have caused the systems of this manor to go haywire. Intended to defray the claws of fire and block the sights of animists with water and vapour, the various gurgling pipes and outlets of the Grey Manor sing as they rattle into cacophonous activation.

Sal watches the hands of her opponent carefully, which is how she ducks below a chair slung at her but even a good parry against the follow-up probe can't keep her quite on her feet as a boot finds her knee and she's sent tumbling back against the doorway she came through. Good footwork keeps her standing. Ah, the Taking Arts. Vulpes don't fight like a brawler or a boxer. None of that really hurt all that much, but somehow, it's still jarring - Sal's balance is a little compromised. That Quiet Prowler fights around you. Punches you with the world less than their fists.

--

We have the gate! Good work, Masks! Those heavy gate-doors are meant to shut in case of intruders such as us. They're heavy, that's why the Slicerats did not get to slam them.

You can attempt to slam the Gates, as a Grit-Action for 3 AP. It'll bar the heavy doors, and as the Slice-rats are less acrobatic than us, any reinforcements will be slowed down.

Flashpan spots a distant Slice-Rats, readying to patrol from check-point to check-point. She packs up her binoculars and moves to intercede, preparing a surprise.

The commotion at the Manor is noise and roaring sounds to all around, which differs little from a training day. Nothing unusual, so no hidden eyes feel much alarm.

If we can keep the crack of chemical munitions low, avoid fire and keep the Slicerats in the manor within it so they do not sprint elsewhere and bring back friends, we could avoid the Alarm ever reaching a point where we need worry about prying eyes.

Loud noise and unusual events, the blast of alchemy and destruction, as well as things that can be seen from a distance (such as black smoke from burning buildings) would raise the alarm. It seems like the common exchange of blows does not. Because this world operates on 3d6, we shouldn't worry so much until the Alarm state reaches 3, at which point it becomes theoretically possible for it to be triggered. Until then, it simply modifies any larger actions by the Slicerats, though a Patrol close by would be drawn in by the noise.

Quoted By:

Brittlebird, it looks like your charm collection possibly worked. Or it's that slightly seeping mask you wear for a True Face?

Whichever the methodology, you've accrued 2 Boons. Boons are slight specks of attention from distant things. Sometimes they're called Icons, sometimes they're called Gods, and perhaps the difference is academic.

These little specks of fleeting resonance with grand things don't allow for particularly grand invocations or the breaking of material constraints, but you can use them to channel brief little spots of wrack. That is: changing of the world.

Spend a Boon with a skill roll, so 1 AP, except that you roll against Focus. If you succeed, you generate about 1d6 effect per Boon you spend (so you can spend more than one). It helps to know the portfolio of the thing you're attempting to compel, but Icons aren't shy and you can get a lot of leeway by simply having the right Intentions and begging loudly enough.

The specific manifestations of your half-begged divine intervention won't rival a proper Theurge, but because your Mask help align your words and deeds with the Icons above, it does resonate and let them channel through you readily.

If you invoke a specific Icon, you get +1. If you invoke a specific Icon and a specific Mantle it has, you get +2. If you invoke a specific icon, a specific Mantle and a specific Resonance, you get +3. And so on - the more specific your knowledge is, the easier it is to channel something. The catch is that by narrowing your focus in this way, you also narrow the outcome.

It doesn't seem as if we know a lot, but we can always refer to Close Icons, of which any soul in this city should know 3:

The Empyreal commands Fire and Courage, along with Souls, Truth and the Light. Hygea, also called the Painspinner, commands biology, in all its various forms Ashoniti is called the Mountain Breaking Wind - the caress that snaps. She commands Force, in all its forms.

So you can beg a boon of Ashoniti and it might shift an object around you by 1d6. Or you can spark a brief fire, or attempt to kick up a sandstorm or knit the bleeding wounds of a dying friend. It's small stuff, but it nudges the world to be in your favour.

Be aware that Riv has activated the Firebreak system, which spread water-vapour and steam in the area.This makes it harder for things to catch fire, sure, but it's also an defensive against Animism of all its kinds: No convocant can compel or conjure against that which they cannot sense.

So in laymans terms, you cannot beg a boon to target anything you cannot yourself sense in some way. The Icon would not know how to guide itself to the target.

> 6AP+4AGI+1RP: Sparing moment to soak in the pandemonium of centrifugal vectors and rasping pressure discharges unfolding around him, Riv refocuses his attention to the intricate mesh of precision mechanisms encasing his right hand. His gaze flickers over to the tear shaped gem mischievously glinting between the thumb and index finger of his left hand. The mask's pupils dilate, his hands tremble slightly and a mist of perspiration builds upon his brow. Possessed of a manic sort of urgency, Riv jams the volatile, somewhat damaged eldritch rock into the mounting slot offered by the recondite, highly experimental confluence of foreign technology.

There is another here. Sits cross-legged. Holds a cunningly wrought ceramic cup to pale lips. Breathes in the steam. Graceful lines in the pottery, a soft curve to the top. Nesting Swallow style - hard to get that right, Crashthunder thinks. You fashion one to commemorate a job well done, with the hands that did the deed.

This rat says very little with his mouth but his eye and hands talk plenty. Will that be one cube of sugar, or two, stranger?

Quoted By:

Lady Gradegras slams the door shut and shifts the heavy barring timber into place. Now it's just us, the steaming contraptions and all the Slicerats that the Grey Manor can muster. At least until the reinforcements arrive at the doorway.

Lagomorpheus and Dusk deploy munitions that cover the approach to the main house in smoke, dreamer's dust and swirling clouds. The archers cough and stumble, but the Jaded Survivor wears a rebreather - proof against such chemical munitions. But if the lungs are safe, the eye are not. Those arrows will go very wild, because the Slicerats have completely lost their targets. Good.

--

Crashthunder has some tea.
Circus and Mock fall into darkness, securing the armory. Good. Bar those doors from the inside and no other slicerat can get in here. But one fell on a lever as he was knocked out, and he has activated something, somewhere. It looks like the machinery itself is a little jumbled now. Still, nothing for it.

The sputtering steam-vents finish for now. Haze and mist fill the manor. Everything is faintly wet. From the swirling clouds, arrows lash out. Nothing scores, and one of the Slicerats in a sudden burst of self-awareness throws down their bow and runs for the gardens. Shaking head at the lack of discipline, the Jaded Survivor kicks the bow to hand, stands shock-still and dings an arrow off of the side of Fourth Dusk' mask. See? We don't only wear them because they look good.

--

Crashthunder's tea is almost finished, and decisions must be made. Hands or blades? The Rikovian on the other side of the tea table hasn't drawn steel yet. Waits. Offers the first move.

Lagomorpheus is punched by . . . no one? What was that? Ouch!

> 1AGI: One particular section of piping is fitted with some manner of handle. Experimentally Riv twists, turns, and slides the configuration, watching the pipe shift along with the motions, revealing the suggestion of a second pipe nested within. Eventually, after a good deal of thunks and metallic groaning - the Mask is rewarded as one final sliding motion exposes an aperture into a steaming section of pipe isolated from the rest of the system - perhaps some manner of port for introducing materials into the system, cleansing agents and the like. Riv feeds the pouch of half-burnt mothdream into the tubes expectant maw, then cycles the mechanism back to its original orientation. (-1 Pouch of Charred Mothdream)
> 3FOC: Resting the hand enveloped in the Free College R.I.C.E upon the bulk of the machine before him, the masked man pauses thoughtfully. He could perhaps do something clever here, however it feels somewhat unfair that only he gets to have fun with Rinik's toys. Riv dumps all of the force stored within the R.I.C.E into the systems connected to this station and refrains from providing any real direction or or intent, allowing Ashoniti to make of it what she will.

The Rikovian Rat nods. Takes one final slow sip of tea. Sets the handmade ceramic cup down carefully as he accepts the blade. Tests the balance on his wrist, runs a finger along the blunted edge. Feels the woodgrain. Smiles. Yes, this will do.

Ready?
Ready.
He dips his head.
Crashthunder acknowledges.

The pair explode into motion as the Rikovian kicks the tea-table at his opponent, but Crashthudner sees it coming and twists out of the way in a counter-stroke that gets deflected into a low redirect and a follow-up that gets voided by giving space. He kicks out, spraying water, cutting droplets sideways - Crashthunder turns his hat, counters, and the Duellist turns his blade to force the incoming attack to glide along his shoulder. The pair breaks apart.

>Crashthunder can take a Duel turn.

Quoted By: >>5901806

Crashthunder weaves sideways, in a spray of water and kicks out - but not at his opponent but their blade, the move easier with blunted swords and trained to perfection. The Bokken snaps against the soft pond rocks, frightening the glistening fish. He swings his own blade in a follow-up to the opening but his opponent steps in, slamming his hand against the flatter side of the bokken. It hurts, but enough to slow him down and he finishes his movement by kicking directly into his own sword. Sudden, the blade is a bar that provides leverage but Crashthunder moves fluidly, maintains his balance, parries the follow-up but the swords lock and the Rikovian Rat shifts grip and shoulders the cross-parry sending both stumbling forward.

They catch their posture. Breathe in. Breathe out.

The Rikovian's eyes are wide, smiling. Glad. Dips his head in a quick acknowledgement. Both breathing hard.

Then he shifts his stance and Focuses, building up intent to strike with ruthles speed!

Amicus blinks against a spray of shattering resilient glass from the Quiet Prowler's rebreather, shattering beneath the impact of his shield.

The Jaded Survivor snaps a few words and the Slicerats near the entrance to the Grey Manor shake off their stupor and beat a hasty retreat - except for one who shifts the grip in their bow and charges at Sal. The attack glances off of her mask.

Amicus bats away a knife stroke, which was clever, but something tugs at his uniform and the Quiet Prowler throws a little wink then throws up an arm to shield their eyes.

Wait why would-- WOOOSH

And then the Quiet Prowler comes prowling -- woah, Level! Watch out! They stole more than one! Those Jaeger Cells are about to cook off and fling force everywhere!

--

Maskmates, it looks like they've slammed the large doors shut and from the sound of it, they're trying to bar it it too. There's a back-entrance, but we'd need to go all the way around. This place is half a mini citadel, so the walls are thick and the doors heavy.

It might be there's a way to get it open somehow. If the rest of the manor is half sigil'd and steamed, maybe some switch somewhere throws the doors open. If not, bring it down - they haven't had quite enough time to slide the bar home. If you shove it open now, it might work!

Crashthunder's foot slams against his hiltguard, sword turned half in his hand from being tangled by the mat. The parry isn't perfect, the bokken cracks against his own face.

They seem to be, but it would be scant effort to try to bypass. The two incapacitated Slicerats were the armory guards, you easily intuit, and so one of them must have the key. So the lockboxes are locked for now but to find your way to their content would be a feat only worthy of 1 AP skill action.

He blinks.
He holds his tea-cup up and let the light catch the edge.
Breathes in the steam of distant herbs. A kick is not in all worlds a fight ender. Do they not say that no wanderer with a mind is unarmed? He could break the soft bones if your shins by countering with the Wolf Teeth and -- No.

There are some things worth dying for.
But this is not that.

The Rikovian Rat stands and in the same smooth motion he bows and with a single fluid flick of the wrist he draws the knife that all slicerats carry and then he sends it, like a rock, skipping across the surface of the meditation pond.

Gradegras of Sareth strides forth, uncaring and unheeding of the pitiful strikes and slices of a weak, mewling gutter rat. She has no time for such things, not when her duty has yet to be done.

As she walks, the pretend-knight who has never seen or heard of Sareth feels something like rage, a cold, emotionless passion and a hatred for all that her unfeeling gaze rests on.

The weight and mass of approximately several knights and their horses moves with her- but even that is nothing, compared to the rules she worships but knows not

"QUAKE AFORE THE LAW, YE NAILGRUBS AND FINGER WORMS!" she roars, voice made tinny and inhuman by the onion-layers of armor covering her

Quoted By:

Papers are filched and read, Crashthunder bows and the Rikovian Blade nods. And then, as if nothing else has happened, he contemplates returning to his tea.

Lady Gradegras feels the winds of justice at her back and slams through the two slicerats trying to bar the doors into the Grey Manor. From within, a formation of Slice-Rats lead by a leader who notices her voice shakes when she barks orders oppose her.

In the frontyard, the Quiet Prowler faces down a six-on-one fight and plants their feet and squares their stance and moves like lightning on a dry, warm day and despite the onslaught of hands, feet, capes, alchemical flares and the high and grand Icons themselves the Greyrat somehow stays standing.

Rolling with the impact of a blow that would rend lesser Names to their constituent components the Quiet Prowler flicks their knife around, blinks away the blood and flashing lights in their vision and shifts footwork. Fourth Dusk comes up in a roll, ducking under Lagomorpheus cape as it busily drinks in sunlight, flicks a fuel-cell. It rattles as it passes from hand to pocket back to hand as the Quiet Prowler counters with a flick and scatters one of the charges elsewhere. Amicus advances in a heat-shimmer and barks an order.

The Prowler opens his mouth to speak. 

"Listen, I wasn't for taking your people, I don't steal liv--"

Whatever else was meant to pass forward is drowned out by the warbling woosh of the Jaeger full cell flash-dumping its entire energetic load in a long note of friction screaming. It's not loud. It should be. The cells are artifice of the House of the Bonded, to channel vast forces in their sigilcraft and their advanced Bonded devices. Mountains are moved at their whim and by their will. Why isn't it loud? Somehow, it just sets your senses alight with a keening.

The Jaded Survivor barks an order. Lady Gradegras is subject to a swarm of stinging insects. In the aftermath, the Greyrat shudders once and goes very still, distant memories flickering through her heart. The sound of arrows on metal. Friends in muddy ground and flags and plans thrown aside by the advance of armored stalwarts. The sound of shells. Columns of alchemical smoke like clouds, the few blessed moments of rain between the hot-fizzing pangs of cooking human flesh drifting on the wind.

The Serakai Plains were green, once.

Maybe one day they will be again? Hope, recall, dies last. Hope, recall, dies fighting.

The Jaded Survivor clenches her jaw so hard one of her teeth click from the pressure and rallies reserves of inner strength.

The Quiet Prowler steals a moment of space and prepares to strike ou--
hm.
well.
That solves that.

He describes an arc up and across the courtyard, skirting the edge of the walls bonelessly, thumping down somewhere far beyond the manor grounds. Unleashed energy fling bits about. Amicus throws himself in front of Lago, duty-bound, and takes the worst of it.
--

Riv, those Scraghounds look hungry and vicous and untrained. Large, lumpy bolting shapes. Unlike the ones from Ratport, these must still have been under training. They're very enthusiastic and havent quite learned what to bite and what not to bite yet.

Watch out - you see that? They've got snapping reflexes, they'll react to movement in front of them with a swipe of their long sharp teeth!

--

Lagomorpheus is tangled in some training rope. Remember that you can finagle your way out of a grapple by reducing it with agility, or by rolling Style as an action. In this case, someone else can help him too (1 AP or 1 Agility or an Action).

Sal is prone. That turned out to be remarkably foresightful. To get back up, it's 3 AP or Agility.

Quoted By: >>5906300 >>5906671

From her secure position, Flashpan uses an old desert trick to signal to the Association members waiting it out in our stake-out. A cloth in front of her spyglass, moved every now and again, and the sun. The glints deliver a missive, if one knows how to read them:

A patrol of Slice-rats is currently moving between their checkpoints.

A few of them are breaking off to move towards the Grey Manor. They look like four trainees led by a Slugrat.

Flashpan wants to know if she should let them pass, or attempt to intercept. She can also intercept the patrol itself.

They are not nervous or on a war-footing, and it is likely that there has not been any alarm yet.
--

The Association does *not* generate any foresight this turn. Current supplies are 4.

--

The Quiet Prowler is unconscious, somewhere in the landscape, where-ever the wind put him down. In a fluke of fate, the man might not be all that wounded, but in the final reckoning the scrapes, cuts, bruises and friction from a hard impact with the landscape might have jarred him something fierce as his nervous system was over-loaded with the attention of the Painspinner, Hygean, the Healer who Harms, and who finds all sorts of sensation utmost interesting. Perhaps particular that of living organisms encountering new ways to develop a headache.

The Jaded Survivor is having a flashback and seeing Vanadian Knights were none are likely to exist, but this is lending her a ruthless sort of sensibility. She might be as dangerous to her allies as she is to us. Be careful!

--
>Flashpan and other assets can be ordered about as a free action due to your foresightful practice of a set of prior arranged symbols and signals. Do it somewhen on your turn, or some other time. She'll default to doing whatever most people tell her to do, though in cases of a tie she might do something else. If you don't give her a specific signal, she'll also act on her own initiative.

>Strike a seductively knightly pose and order the slicerats to surrender (investing 12 focus, 3 agility and 6 AP in this)

The knight seems to not even notice the rain of flint and wood coming her way, shrugging off the arrows as if they were naught but the feeble cries of thugs pleading for escape.

But there is no escape from the law. for nobody and nothing.

The woman who IS (for now) Gradegras slams a mighty fist on a mightier hip, thrusting her chest(plate) forward, plume swinging in the wind while her other hand... goes to grip the door, because actually being hit by a volley of arrows tends to knock your breath out.

"SURRENDER THY WEAPONS ND CEASE THY RESISTANCE, EVILDOERS" she rasps out, her voice made mighty by the armor's echo
"THE REWARDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE MIGHTY INDEED- IF YOU BUT COME AND *PROVE YOURSELF* WORTHY OF THEM"

“Thanks Friends. THE FORCE OF THE BLAST HAS DISABLED MY HUD, BUT YOUR STALWART ACTION PREVENTED ANY SERIOUS DAMAGE. Well, things look safe enough now. Time to call in the children to practice their looting. Let me know if you need any help”. Lago lit the cigarette off her burning 'cloak' before extinguishing the cloak and hucking a red and white striped smoke grenade over the wall. Voice had said that they mixed a bit of mothdream into the smoke mix for coloration while Lago was sleeping, but it was hard to tell sleepwalking truth from sleepdreaming fiction.

Lago then ran into the prison, arming herself along the way. She didn't know how to use a bow, but every Vulpes did better using tools they stole themselves. It must be a confidence thing. “Hey your rats, are things going the way they should for you? I've got some kids coming by to clean up the mess outside. Help them out, and I'll adopt you in to the Rabbit Family, or you can bottle off into the city. We have better healthcare than the Rats. Better think quick.“ Lago made way so the rats could run south.

P.S. - If the rats do accept my terms, please don't beat them up. Thanks.

Quoted By:

Fourth Dusk moves in and takes a position against the doorframe, alchemical charge ready. Gives it a good shake. Just like Flashpan mentioned. Volatile chemicals break their confines, internal barriers shattering as the mixing begins, the little bag fair hummming in Fourth Dusk' hands. It describes a beautiful arc, forward.

The Slicerats in the Manor are too shaken by the sudden breaking of the door to react well. One raises a bow, one tries a side-step, one throws an arm up in front of their eyes and none of that is proof against the shockwave that rebounds off of the walls.

It's too bright to see what is happening in there.

Still, even Rinik's hardiest fighters can hardly shake off a full squadbreaker's worth of munitions. Wait, the formation, hazy shadows against clenched eyes and bright lights, its shifted. One of those Slicerats threw herself into a roll behind one of the others . . .
