 Name: Hob HP: 3 Glory: 7>8 Ritual Glory : 1 Skill: Bee keeping, Contortion(cooldown) Bad Seafood posted:Gigs plainly explains this to his companions, that their best options are to either analyze the outside or force their way in (without damaging the button-pusher), but in either case that someone should be ready to run back to the surface. Hob listens patiently, looking crestfallen. Looking across the buttons where he and Bamboo stood ready, he flatly replied. "So no touching the buttons". Giving Bamboo a weak smile, he stepped away from the buttons. Looking at the door and sighing, he picked up his spear where he had leaned it against the surface. Then put it back, and leaned against the door, huffing. Then stood up again quickly, leaving the spear. Resolving to do good. Gigs was the leader here, it was his mission. We are all on it. all need to work together to overcome this door. "we all have these wooded spears, get some leverage here, wedge it open". "Or" as he theatrically pressed his ear against the metal "do you want to leave it until we can get more people up here, investigate thoroughly." "I mean, theres eight of us, we could cover both if you split us in half. Gado and Gabber are already making notes, so twomore doing that in case stuff goes wrong, and the rest of us on the door might work. Yeah? Sucy's already looking for stuff to jam in that hole, could easily jam the door open with it." Walking over and patting Gigs on this shoulder, "this is your show, tell me where to be and I'll be there". Support Gigs' Decision: 1d100+7 23 Haha Now standing side by side looking at the door, Hob pats Gigs on the back. "And if the door kills us all, we don't need to deal with telling Grimper." After listening to Gigs, Hob scuttles away to Search for clues, listening at floor tiles and walls for hollow sounds, looking at symbols from the button pad and trying to match them up elsewhere on the structure, walking around peering into dark corners...

Really good banners so far, guys!   Skill: Sleuthing HP: 3 Glory: 5 ----> 6 After fruitlessly consulting with some of the other Horde members about his note, a disappointed Humbug joined Qwäg and the others in discussing the Horde's battleplan. "Hmm. It's not a bad plan, but if the jailors feel threatened - and they have orders to keep their work secret - they could try to burn evidence and Ritual notes, eliminate prisoners or prepare more defenses for when we breach, like making use of strange, unnatural stuff like Corrupt Rituals or Branded Wendigos. Even if we inspire inside troubles, we might not be able to 'make good' on a bout of disease or a prison riot as long as we've got no way into Nägel ourselves. So, sure, we can Launch a Guerilla Siege of Attrition using the Ram, Snödis' and Grumbus' unique skillsets to foment sleeplessness, disease and prison riots, and just pray everything turns out well. Alternatively, perhaps we can Make a Hole In That Wall? It looks solid and imposing, but we have Bamsticks, a Orichalcum Ram and Spleen and Stårn's expert opinions. We could also try to Set An Ambush to take the gate by surprise when they next open it, either due to our prompting or on their own initiative. Hmm! In fact, since the jailors do not seem to have much outside oversight... ... we could Prepare the Field With Trap Distractions, like Noggins' work outside Fostis! Seed a spot with punji traps, stick ogres and prepare fires to light smokescreens and we can draw any guard force's attention away from what we're really doing." Humbug shrugged - he was no tactician, but he'd tried to outline a few options as he saw them - and then glanced in Grimper's direction. Failing all else, Humbug suspected the Warlord might step in... but he doubted Grimper would be pleased to have to do so. "Whatever plan, or combination of plans, that we go for, Stårn, I'd be happy to get on the case if you need an extra pair of hands to carry the Ram."

      Name: Stårn Additional skills: Butterfly Beastmaster HP: 3 Glory: 11 -> 12 Stårn nodded along, apparently only half listening as Humbug spoke. After a while though, he put a hand on the shoulder of his compatriot, a mad gleam in his eye and a grin on his face. "You are truly wise! You've figured out one of the central tenets of sieging even without any training! It goes as follows: no matter the plan, Siege Weapons make it better." "Now come my friends, and get this SIEGE started!" RAMMING SPEEED for whatever plan we do (likely psyops taken current vote): 1d100+41=136

  HP: 3 Glory:9->10 Biggo froze, his hand only inches away from the buttons. He wanted to press them really badly, but the others were right, Gigs was running this show. And hey, it wasn't all bad. He was in favor of violently destroying the door instead of pushing buttons, which seemed more fun anyways. Biggo didn't need tools to help open the door, all he needed was his powerful punching arms to pull the door open while the others pried stuff in between, maybe. Or, well, that was Biggo's plan anyways. Prying open the door with RAW POWER: 1d100+10 = 68

Dog Kisser posted:Gado the Digger was in his element, here, tearing through the stone in half the time it took the others. His chest burned with pride as he drove a pick through the- it was really burning, yeah. Oof, maybe that wasn’t pride, actually. He hit the stone once again, then slumped to his knees, gasping and clutching at his heart. The Nail in his shoulder felt red-hot, too, and between the two of them he couldn’t focus. His eyes blurred and he felt something click and grind inside his chest, like stones abrading against one another. He rose again, pink smoke pouring from his mouth, and hit the wall a final time. It fell, and so did he.

  Extra Skillcore: Sitting Quietly HP: 3 Glory: 11 Snödis had always had her eye on Tö-Päins battle-rap skillcore. Even before he knew she existed, but she had never been powerful enough to simply wrest it from his cold dead body. Oh she had tried, tried and tried again. She even went out with him a few times, when her constant failed attempts to murder him endeared them to each other. It didn't last. But then it did. It was complicated. Now she didn't really know what to do. She just knew that, whatever had happened to him, he was behind the largest, most formidable wall she had ever seen, and no amount of graffiti was going to tear it down. Fortunately, she brought her army. Well okay, AN army. A horde, really. But at least they were fighting for her, or at least in the general direction she was going.  Snödis thought that perhaps she had not thought her cunning plan all the way through, but with the Shadow of Grimpner looming behind her, perhaps it was better for her to just act like she knew what she was doing, lest she end up like Ringo - or worse.

  Gado!!! Skill: Digging (+20) (Unavailable Next Turn) HP: 3 Glory: 7 Gado gives the wall a few more exploratory taps with the Bone Tö pick before crossing his arms "We probably have some time before Grimper gets back from his field trip. I imagine if we write up a report and bring it to Magda she might have something that'll help us crack this sucker open in a more controlled manner." Gado paws at the pouch containing his glory tokens, sadly light on contents. "It might cost us some Glory, but Grimper would probably be happy if we got this thing open ahead of time. Magda certainly seems like she would know about this kind of stuff and working off the suggestion of a professional is a sight more unlikely to end in us all being buried alive or exploded." Magda being a potentially safer way into the Vault came up on discord, so tossing that idea out there.

 Skill 2: Amputation HP: 3 Glory 8 The readiness with which the most enthusiastic sieger Stårn and all the rest went along with her plan took Qwäg off-balance. Externally, she flew into a frenzy of preparation, smearing herself and hordemates with ash and soot to break up their profiles in the darkness, assessing the least risky points of attack and the most likely avenues of counter-attack, tugging straps and tightening buckles, even pointing out muddy patches on the prison approach that might cause a fateful slip for the ram team. Inside, however, doubt nagged her. All her life, she'd kept her head down for a reason. Actuary figures she could deal with, but people? People were something she'd never quite gotten the hang of. But the enthusiasm in her fellow Unexpectables seemed real. Grumbus, with whom she had never shared more than a disgusted glance, had come alive when given the opportunity to exercise his skills. The normally cool Snödis had reached into her creative quiver and pulled out an unexpected embellishment. Seeing Ringo ready to go despite his woeful injuries heartened her despite her abiding dread. And she found it simply impossible to retain a scowl when looking at the jovial figure of Klörf, Mög and Göm bless his pointed head. Despite the creeping certainty that it would all go wrong; the icy finality of her figures...This could work. It could really work! So why was she so afraid? Go Team Psyops!: 1d100+18 21

I imagine if we write up a report and bring it to Magda she might have something that'll help us crack this sucker open in a more controlled manner." Gigs himself takes to studying the Old Guy Vault and taking notes (1d100+10 = 68), indicating everyone is either to do that or search the surrounding area for any other clues, hints, trinkets, mementos, devices, keys, red pages, blue pages, fish pulleys, or whatever else might prove related to this. (i.e. once we fill up all four slots for studying the thing, everyone else should poke around exploring the immediate area for anything else that might prove relevant.)

Bad Seafood posted:(i.e. once we fill up all four slots for studying the thing, everyone else should poke around exploring the immediate area for anything else that might prove relevant.) taking copious notes isn't a closed option so the more the merrier there, and search the area (but don't do anything with what you find) sounds like it might be part of this too, so gonna search the area but assume that is another for taking notes. Speaking of which, is Sucy actually jamming something in the door, or just searching for something that might be a key? Name: Hob HP: 3 Glory: 8 Ritual Glory : 2 Skill: Bee keeping, Contortion(cooldown) "Sure thing, I'll get right on it." Hob scurries away, joining the others already mid-task. editing old post with info to help DK sort the options later. WereGoat fucked around with this message at 18:01 on Oct 23, 2017 |

Alright, what a positively lovely set of flags you guys have churned out... but now it's time to pick one! Or two, rather: you guys need to vote on both the Unexpectables flag AND the Töan national flag! Here's what we have so far, but keep posting if you have other ideas and I'll pop em' in here. In addition - those of you who have contributed art or flags since last update, go ahead and give yourself 1 Ritual Glory (not one per instance of art!) Leaving things open until tomorrow, but I'll be around to address questions. Finally, some difficulties (I'll edit this into last update, too):
Repair Instead Of Bribe - Difficulty 1+ Scouting Nägel Midnight Ramming Ambushes - [Difficulty 10++]

Sorry I've been out of the thread for a bit, I've been trying to get everything put together for a new job and haven't had as much time for other things. Name: Patsy Skill: Baking HP: 3 Glory: 5 Patsy had, almost by default, ended up out in the forest. Given a choice, he wasn't going underground, and he sure as hell wasn't going to a prison. If he'd wanted to do that, he would have just taken that option when he first found out he'd "volunteered" for a horde membership. So, the forest it was. Upon seeing the slinkers, bane of any bakers grain storage, Patsy was filled with the righteous fury of a chef scorned. These little beasts had cost him much over the years, and then cost him again when he had to pay someone to remove them from his stores... but he'd never seen this many at once. As a general rule very few actually ended up in cities, and even fewer survived long enough to nest. You generally got three or five in a grain store, and if you didn't work in one you might not even know they existed. But this time Patsy had allies, and sacks, and the slinkers didn't have any convenient holes to run into. This time... Patsy would profit and the slinkers would pay Catch them all! 1d100+5 = 17 Patsy really just can't do anything that isn't baking. Like, not at all.

  Name: Gawp HP: 3 Skill: Perception (cooling) Equipment: Sharp Stick (+0) Glory: 6 Ritual Chits: 9 -> 11 (artwork bonus) Morrskag Forest, Fostis (part 3): Gawp had shouted to the others and the others had listened! What a glorious feeling - what a triumphant day! Gawp was tromping through the forest at a breakneck pace, chasing after a coursing river of panicked slinkers as they darted and dove through the underbrush. Errant branches and reaching leaves whipped at his face and eyes, but Gawp didn't care. He was downright giddy. Gawp burst through a thicket and half-stumbled into a small clearing just as several of the other Töans he'd called out to did the same: Bully, Doc, and two others whose names he'd forgotten. They'd all seen the monsterist slinkers' running off with their herd mentality (or was it a pack?), and now they were all in this together, giving chase to round them all up! Gawp flashed a toothy smile at the Töan who was keeping pace with him. This was exciting - he was leading a team! "Where's Pythag? Where's... Patsy?" Gawp hollered to the Töans next to him, loud enough to be heard over the din of pounding hearts, hurried breaths, and the crackle of underbrush. He got a blasé shrug in return, and they resumed their chase of the slinkers in earnest. Whatever. Pythag'll just have to miss out this time. All that means is less people to share in the Glory of Gawp- that's for sure! Gawp hadn't had this much fun in ages.
