Dragonfire

Avalanche nods slowly, "One hundred would be fine. They can first build the barricade, then train with simple weapons if time allows it." "So... you'd rather leave the village and its inhabitants absolutely defenceless on the off-chance that you can predict the raiders' actions?"

Thanks

That would be my favourite too

Location: B06 Sorn Tags: Exploration, Land Vehicle Mission Log : Entry 22 ~ When my vision returned, it was hazy, and everything seemed to shimmer and twist before my eyes. I saw a derelict grey wall, and sand... lots of sand. And then the mutant raising its axe to end my life. I didn't think. My blaster was already in my hand before its axe could descend. Two quick shots, that was it. I heard shouting and blaster fire, and saw Akiko, Captain Askarn and one of the troopers pinned down by a band of .... strange people- things. Some were mutants, and I recognised the mutant who'd killed Agent Sharpe among them. Others were tattooed, scantily clad humans with strange, glowing red eyes, brandishing makeshift spears, blades and guns. I struggled to get up, feeling a sudden, sharp pain in my shoulder. Looking up, I saw one of the strange humans with a blaster aimed in my direction. The pain was so great that I couldn't stand, so I decided to play dead for the time being... Then a shot rang out. The leader of the cultists fell, dead, as the rest of the Kawashita platoon charged over the sandy horizon, equipped with a small walker with medium gunpower. A fierce battle ensued... One of the troopers cut the Octan prisoners loose with his sai dagger. Meanwhile, the three trapped behind the machinery broke cover and returned fire, engaging the mutants and cultists on a second front. The battle was over within minutes. We'd taken one casualty - a young trooper who'd received a sword wound to the stomach. Concerned faces swum into my field of vision as my wound was inspected and I was eased into a seated position. The dying trooper, as per Kawashita custom, was given his sword to hold onto as he died - nobody is sure how this particular ritual came about. I later learned that we'd somehow come through a gravitational anomaly - a wormhole in space - and both our quarry and us had emerged on the planet Sorn, on the eastern frontier of Kawashita space. But we were alone, with no communications - and two grateful but prickly Octan employees to take care of. Oh - and the original mutant wasn't among the dead, somehow. He'd got away. [ C & C welcome!]

Thanks, both of you

Avalanche ponders this for a moment, "If the villagers aren't going to fight outright, they need to help build the defenses. Let's muster a group of them to start construction on the barricades."

Nobody's part of Hydra...yet And who knows, Hydra might be the Town in this instance, and SHIELD the scum

As a vig he wouldn't randomly kill unless he actually finds me scummy. SK... yeah, you have a point there If I get killed, everyone will know my alignment anyway

But then if I get nightkilled, we'll all know you're scum

Thanks, that's really helpful

I absolutely agree. This and the scout speeder from the Endor battle pack are a lot better than the other assortment of quickly disassembled vehicles

He's only half Duros Actually, I'll edit the build description to include that, sorry if it was unclear before.

Please transfer 33 credits to EpsilonEta.

Could you please add me to the PM as well?

Can you put me at the very bottom of the list? I don't know how much time I'll have so I don't want to take anyone's space.

Thanks

How long is this game expected to last? I won't be able to play if it goes beyond about a month and a half...

"I don't mean swords. I mean any weapon - any makeshift weapon they have to hand - wooden staves, pitchforks, knives...Let's see what the others think. Warlen, Calamity? Any opinions?" Avalanche nods in agreement, "Whatever we do about the villagers, we must first get these four properly trained."

Thanks

Thanks It's not really a base, more the back alley/slum of a larger complex. I'm sure I'll make some kind of base at some point though

"I'm not saying we turn them into warriors. I'm saying we give them all basic training and simple weapons so that they can defend themselves, their homes and their families when the bandits arrive. With these four, it's more about taking their skills and developing them so that they're a properly trained militia. I hope the villagers won't have to fight, but we don't know exactly how many and how skilled these bandits are. We may or may not need the villagers themselves, and it's better to be safe than sorry."

Query: can we have two bounty hunters working together / a bounty hunter and a sidekick?

Looking forward to it

After one game? Things definitely look promising for the future of Mafia... When I sent Dragonator a PM about hosting (at the start of February), Bob's game in May was the next scheduled. Hopefully someone will host one before that.

Avalanche nods in approval, standing shoulder to shoulder with the party leader. He realises what a momentous task they've taken on, but this only strengthens his resolve to complete it.
