Welcome, Trump Thread reader and BKFD players!

Welcome to the Crossover BKFD X Fantasy Trump Thread!

This thread serves as an adventure thread to assist the Fantasy Trump’s Faction with you as their Hero unit to perform great deeds requested by council GOLDMEMBER and PLATNIUMEMBER whom only wishes for the good of (themselves) the city.

BKFD is a homebrew superheroes game made by Orion. Me, Swedish Thaumocracy, Theantero, Rolondo, and Dogkisser used to test play the game to break its mechanics. It’s part of the fun along with getting into weird hijinks with whatever weird powers we got and whatever new fixed rule to ‘unbroken’ the game. We are a roaming force of wtf-storm, but here, people call us Heroes.

----------------------------------


A very persuasive voice ask you to enroll into his wonderful, wonderful army. It’s the army of the great Trump Land, and everything is going to be amazing. You will get money, power, second-to-best thot, adventure, excitement, and fame! People will loves you, and there are no reason not to put your faith in this Trump person. He seem like a swell guy, a family man, and a good boss. Together, you and this great person will win the world over. You can have land, title, whatever you need, but don’t answer this call if you are going to betray this honest and nice gentleman because you might Literally get visited by the Secret Service for real.

Some of you don’t understand what that mean since your world don’t have forum or something, but that sounds awful.

Either way, you can be whatever being you like as this country doesn’t discriminated you of your race (we discriminate equally… except maybe if you are a midget) or your colorful scale. Tell us about yourself and we shall awaken your inner power or external power from your foci with our druid magic.

Post your char app sheet here for review.

HBar:

Agent Register #0x11 "HBar"

Cross post from my GBS playthrough of X-Com, HBar had a unique mix of gear and skills not often seen in that game, both heavy weapons and psi. While most mutants in that game have powerful psychic abilities but are very weak and slow, HBar focused on strength training to become more well-rounded. In our last mission to investigate alien activity in a factory, he killed several enemies on his own, but was eventually vaporized by a hidden opponent. Maybe he passed through to the Other World where his talents will be useful. His favorite food is apples.

Battle Aura:
He has a Pressure aura due to the effect of his mental training on the minds of others.

Fighting style:
[d8] X-Com Veteran
His fighting style is Technique, and Balanced, due to his well rounded training regimen and experience finding and murdering hidden alien infiltrators. Always carries his side arm no matter what and has a few useful gadgets like smoke or stun grenades. His main weapon is a somewhat cumbersome rocket. This still counts as Tech and not Might, because it's precision guidance and his overall fights are "accomplish the mission then extract back to base"

Backgrounds:
[d10] Explosive Munitions Training
Early in his career he saw a fellow agent gruesomely blown up by illegal gangsters, and was able to recover his friend's main weapon -- a powerful rocket launcher with a picture of this animal decorating it:
Since then he trained every day for revenge.

[d8] Mutant Heritage
His ancestors' DNA was modified during a previous alien war, so he was born with the strange eyes and psychic powers his parents had. Effective to read the thoughts of others, and change their emotions. With luck he can even use mind control to change the actions of the weak-willed. Only works on intelligent creatures, maybe can get some info about what dumb animals are thinking but not change what they do or think, and completely ineffective against golems or machines.

[d8] Alien Investigator
The first duty of an XCOM agent is to find hidden aliens, and humans who have been brain controlled by aliens. HBar knows the techniques and equipment used to track and interrogate bad elements, and is able to find evidence and run investigations.
The second duty of an agent is to kill.

[d6] Flight Suit
By training with this lightweight full-body armor, HBar has some defense, and it allows him to levitate. Not fast flying, but he can use it to reposition or navigate vertical space with ease. Running on the ground is usually faster than floating. Not usually good in combat but makes it hard to trip at least.

[d6] Slum Origin
HBar was well paid for his work, but he grew up in the bad part of town. He knows what it's like to go without and is ok with certain criminal elements. He often hung out with various mutants, robots, and hoodlums. So he has a bonus to interacting with people "on the wrong side of the tracks" or smoking weed with losers and poors.

Knacks:
Thirst for Vengeance:
When HBar blew up the gang headquarters it wasn't enough. He still has the desire to punish all traitors, anything who threatens his friends, and the wicked who abuse other people, so he gets a bonus to making dirtbags pay

Active Lifestyle:

HBar posted:

Oh, right. Good thing I don't have to actually be smart to use psi powers.
Aww yeah, check me out. I'm hitting the gym all day so I can hit things with my rocket all night.

HBar trains hard and parties hard, so he gets a bonus in fun social situations or when it's a task that takes a lot of dedication.

Signature Powers:
Antigravity:
Basically Weightless Step from the manual,
"Although gravity isn’t normally much of a problem for Badass Kung Fu DemiGods, while this Power is Ongoing it is practically optional. You can walk on any surface: vertical, horizontal (including walking or standing on the ceiling) or along the surface of liquids. So long as it has more substance than thin air you can walk, run or stand on it."
charging up the batteries makes the flight suit fast enough to use in combat. He can float along any surface and cross dangerous gaps or terrain with this.

Mind Crush:
For two EP you can psychically rend and devour the mind of an Extra or KO’d opponent (in a Clash or other stressful situation this requires spending a Strike). This leaves the victim permanently comatose and gives you access to their memories, as though reading a book about their lives (recalling extremely specific or hazy memories may count as an Obstacle.

Trump (:yooge:) -- Devastating Explosives:
By adjusting the timers and payload for his heavy launcher, he can unleash a devastating blast that hits all enemies and destroys almost all objects in range, and leaves behind an obstacle -- a field of burning wreckage. He needs to target a specific enemy or location and whatever is hit by the missile itself takes a little extra damage. It also takes a little bit of time to activate the targeting system that makes this work. No idea how much this should cost to use.

----

Dunno, I didn't want to make a character that was too crazy, but I think this should work? What's good and bad here, anything need to be changed? I think this can work because even if he shoots a rocket at a knight in armor maybe it misses and the enemy only does a little damage, so it's not overpowered except maybe his trump?

130.000 Dollar Girl - the 18.000 Cpu old Thrice Blessed Vocaloid Project E.V.A

Donald J. Trump wants only the best, and was lacking for magic users, so he paid 130.000 dollars to the best Dragner Shamangineers to steal build him the finest magic user the world has ever seen, and ended up with the ghost of a quantum computer filled with the most eclectic collection of pop music in the universes... Project E.V.A!



"Ugu~ Ceo,Trump-dono, :kiddo:"

--

Battle Aura:
(Abstract) Project E.V.A's holo-projections grow increasingly complex as her (potential) audience increases, as the animators get an increased share of the budget with higher ratings.

--

Fighting Style:
[d8] Thrice Blessed (Flash/Arcane)
Project E.V.A is a hybrid fighter, using techniques passed down by the three Great Fairies of old; Yolandi Visser, Kyaru Pamyu Pamyu, and Björk. These schools are, in order:

Kimiwarui-Jutsu
Emphasizing mental trickery, fear-mongering and debuffs in general.

Hen-Jutsu
Emphasizing conjuring, confusion and enchantment.

Konoyonomonotomoomoenai-Jutsu
Emphasizing evasion, illusion and utility.

Together they make her a fearsome and unpredictable opponent!

--

Background:
[d10] Vocaloid
A being of mostly light and computers, common things like gravity and chronology are an elective rather than an absolute. Project E.V.A can travel through sound, conjure illusions at a whim and even split her consciousness-es over wide areas without suffering any mental trauma. Of course, if her core systems are damaged (or she suffers to much public disgrace...) then her operators will pull the plug on her, or stymie her more fantastical abilities until she bootstraps herself back into the spotlight!

[d8] Fairy-Singer
Siphoning the power of the Three Great Fairies for mystical effect.

[d6] I Have Money!!
When the going gets tough, the rich cheat. Being directly tied to Trump-Corp, Project E.V.A can often get her way by simply paying for the way to be open.

--

Knacks
Impressing Senpai
If an action would greatly please target == Senpai, Project E.V.A works all the harder to achieve the desired result!

Ghost in the Machine
Project E.V.A considers the realms of magitek home-advantage.

--

Signature Powers
Technomancy (1 Ongoing)
Speaking with computers, getting machines to do what you want, petting robot cats etc.

Fanservice (3 ongoing)
(As absolute Radiance from the manual) With trembling lips, Project E.V.A declares her intent and hordes of mindless fanbois and fangirls swarm to make her wishes come true.

Trump Power
Sensual 98, Shadow Clone Storm, Mega!! (Duplicate)
Spreading her consciousness over many clones*, powered by her 18.000 quantum CPUs - Project E.V.A covers the battlefield in instances of herself, performing many tasks at once with equal grace!

*Number of clones dependent on Power Level Limiters.

...We danced the Mamushka while Nero fiddled, we danced the Mamushka at Waterloo. We danced the Mamushka for Jack the Ripper, and now, Fester Addams, this Mamushka is for you....
SUPER Max 'The Bass' Jackson, Demagopugilist


More secret project than a man, Max, or Secret Uber-Pugilism Enacting Republican, is the result of an all-American attempt to create the perfect politician to weather the divisive and difficult times we're trying to navigate through as a nation, and to fight whatever vile hordes the enemies of freedom might let loose to achieve their horrid agendas. In this strange new land, men like him just might be our only hope.

Bible held close to his heart, and his guns closer still, Max marches out to destroy the enemies of True Trumpists everywhere.

Battle Aura:
Max's convictions and imposing presence grant him a Pressure Aura

Fighting Style:
[d8] Demagopugilism (Might/Flash)
"God, Guns, Freedom, and the AMERICAN WAY!" Max's zealous screeds will pierce your eardrums just as readily as his fists will pierce your skull.

Background
[d10] Superhuman Physique
The American ideal, sculpted by a strict regimen of pluck and Personal Responsibility.

[d8] Punditry
Blindside audiences! Evade questions! Weather accusations! Deliver the REAL truth the fake news media doesn't want you to know about! Max can do it all!

[d6] Guns
Max carries a lot of guns, some hidden, some not. Not because he needs them for his fighting style, but because it's his constitutional right.

Knacks:
The Voice of FREEDOM:
When verbally delivering the message of Trumpland's Greatness whilst fighting, Max takes advantage of this knack

Herald of the Silent Majority:
Whilst publicly defending his political agenda, Max takes advantage of this knack

Signature Powers
Unbreakable Iron Spirit (1+ Ongoing)
While this Power is Ongoing you can reduce damage from a roll to 0 so long as it does not exceed the amount of Ongoing EP you have invested in this Power. If your opponent does inflict more damage, then this power has no effect (so if you have 2 Ongoing EP invested you can ignore rolls that inflict 1 or 2 points of damage, but suffer full damage from any roll that inflicts 3 or more points of damage).

Flipflop-jutsu (1+ ongoing)
Duplicate
A Master Politician is able of holding a variety of mutually exclusive viewpoints at once. With an exertion of will, Max can grant these differing personae bodies of their own!

TRUMP!
The Ultimate MAGAfist of Absolute Freedom
Max will grab enemy by the collar (or other convenient piece for grabbing if collars not present), fling them high up into the air, and jump along with them. He will draw back his right arm, fist glowing a tasteful Trump Gold, and deliver one final, scathing reprimand to his enemy, before punching them back to the ground with a force that shatters not just their body, but also their mind with the full realization of their error for having rejected Trump's message. Has the effect of Razor Hurricane (2 EP) even though it's just a single punch.

Trukk Kneesmasha, Orc Bounty Hunter


Trukk is blessed by the orcish god of the Hunt with indefatigable Hunt Lust, the ancient birthright of all bounty hunters. Capable of flying into a murderous rage at even the most minor of crimes, Trukk will do whatever it takes to catch a perp. He works for Trump(!) in the hopes that the president's intelligence bureau will help him find The One That Got Away.

Battle Aura:
Trukk has a Transformation Aura, becoming more and more bestial as he powers up.

Fighting Style:
[d8] Nonlethal Loadout (Tech/Might)
Trukk has several different rods and batons, a taser, pepper spray, and a limitless supply of beanbag rounds, flashbangs, and tear gas.

Background
[d10] Bounty Hunter
Trukk is a master of investigation, tracking, and understanding the criminal mind.

[d8] Hunt Lust
The Hunt Lust flowing through Trukk's veins gives him numerous physical advantages, such as increased stamina or an almost psychopathic resistance to pain.

[d6] Animal Kinship
The blessing granted by the god of the hunt gives Trukk an unnatural rapport with animals.

Knacks:
Stop Right There, Criminal Scum!:
Trukk takes advantage of this knack whenever he dealing with or on the trail of a criminal or someone with a criminal record.

Lethal Nonlethal:
Trukk is a very angry man. He gets a bonus whenever he tries to kill someone with something that is not meant for killing.

Signature Powers
Ghost Sight (1+ Ongoing)
Simply having this Power means that you can perceive normally invisible and incorporeal entities such as ghosts and spirits. By spending an Ongoing EP you can interact physically with these spirits as though they were solid and corporeal.

Cuff Em'!(2+ ongoing)
Ice Prison
You can spend a Strike to activate this power and imprison your opponent in spectral chains. This prevents them from taking any physical actions other than trying to break free. Anyone can spend a Strike to shatter the prison and end the effect, and the chains must be broken before any Strikes against the victim can be spent on damage.

TRUMP!
Unleash the Hounds of Hell!
Trukk unleashes a host of ghostly wargs to punish and tear into the guilty and disrupt their magical energies! Mechanically like a Razor Hurricane (2 EP), any leftover strike/EP can be used for a Spellbreaker (1 EP + 1/2 strike) effect on the target.

You all hear the call for glory, and each of you accepted for various reasons. The great person with that fabulous leader-like voice that promises you of what you want; is the top reason to leave your old life behind to a completely unknown, but patriotic War.


Each of you went through the same bright space of light tunnel. You all can feel the great presence of the others, but your attention are towards the catalyst that was generously donated to your cause. They all follows and floats in front of you during your descent. They are for you after all, but only one item per person before the rest disappears.

You snatch the one in mind before others take it. That item is…

”CHOOSE ONE, NO DUPE, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE” posted:

Unopened Subpoenas, Federal Indictments, Internal Memos, Ripped up Trade Agreements, a bottle of Trump Water, handful of $100 bills, some fruits of the new world, and a pieces of computer or maybe financial calculator.
Post what you grab from the list

Would anyone choose to not get one of these strangely specific gifts? Possible, but that would make the donor SAD.


An exit opens with a preview for a part of the summoning room. The magician seem to be… A large slime?


*Splat*


You are all dumped onto a wet ground ceremonially in a ceremonial ritual ground. It’s not a problem if you landed on your feet, but you are missing out on the cooling water and nature.

A strong throat-clearing noise draws everyone’s attention to the other side of the room.


“Gentleman… And Robot.” The man in golden hair greeted with his back to your all. He dress professionally in expensive business suit. You all recognize the voice of this man. He is the leader of this nation. Alive and standing proudly with wind blowing upon his indomitable stature. He is…


… On a stage. The lighting and atmosphere slime-crew carefully holding onto the equipment and making sure your immersion is maintain at maximum respect. Yes, this man clearly cares. That’s why he does all these to welcome you. What a wonderful welcome in this deep dark magic dungeon room place filled with a bunch of different colored slime thing. A beautifully dressed woman stands on the exit-stair with a lovely smile. Is she a sorcerer? The queen?


Noticeably, the man turns. Unveiling his stern and piercing gaze of a ruler upon you all at slow motion 45 degrees neck turn, then a full 180 slow turn with the body. You want to talk to this man, but the smile that seem to be holding a radio device is playing some drat cool music to accommodate that slow turning. This man continues his speech after finishing his well-practiced turn and another slime crew moved the podium to the front.


“Welcome, Heroes of the other worlds. I am very, very happy that you answered my call. There was a couple rude one that just shut off the channel without giving it a chance.”


“But not you guys… And robot. You are all real Heroes for coming, you are the best of the best, and I trust you all to serve me, Donald Trump, in winning this world over like I did with my old world. Any question?”

Trukk Kneesmasha appeared resplendent in a vest (no shirt) and boot cut jeans, all urban camo, with a utility belt packed to the brim with the latest in perp-subduing goodies. He peered at the orange summoner through badass aviators and asked, "You summoned the best in the biz. What's the job? You sending me after some paychecks?"

"That's what I call perpetrators. Because that's all they are to me."

"Whoa, there. No need to speak to us on 'that channel'." The slime thing's voice sounded like someone is talking with a very wet mouth. The motorcycle helmet-like blurry glass dome face makes it hard to tell its expression. "The scout should fill you with more detail than I know."

As far as you know, the plains is an alien landscape similar to earth that is being claimed by the city, and there should be bad alien and scumbag-shaped aliens. Lack of cover is to be expected in open field like that.

You wish there's an airship to drop you off or a high speed Elenium-powered experimental bike, and decided to ask your new Commander-in-chief about transportation.

Also, two Dwarves are busy re-carving Trump Face on this diamond statue. There’s probably a backstory to it.


Then your boss open another pretty door that lead down stai- No, it’s an elevator. A luxurious elevator that easily accommodate everyone with plenty of space for others. There’s a lot of floors and Trump presses the button with the label “P” while taking a chocolate cream donut from the donut tray for a bite.


Upon the door opening, you regonize this place is a parking lot. Except… It’s more like a museam for all kind of Expensive cars.


Your RICH boss led you to this car and hand Agent Hbar the key.

This is it. Agent Hbar. Your are authorized to man the Mercedes AMG-G63 under the direct permission from the President himself. This is truly an honor. It would be a shame if you actually lied and betray your boss' trust for something so simple as driving. In fact, Your months of riding in a SkyRanger should give you plenty of ideas to pilot an equally expensive vehicle. Not that you ever need to drive during your X-com day where everything is done in base and it’s suicide to go out for ‘fun’. The closest thing would be remote controlling a mini tank in the field for some techy.


Sitting in this most comfortable Pilot Seat your mutant rear end have ever lay upon, this vehicle provides you with a complex view of gauges and meters. You recall the pilot pressed a bunch of this button to start the SkyRanger, but this is 1/5 of the amount, so it’s surely 4/5 less problem for you to manipulate this very, very expensive vehicle that probably worth like a million Sectoid Burger.

Maybe memory from a younger time may help? Or perhaps someone else should drive this baby?

Hbar still remember his past life In the slum, driving expensive-looking car to smuggle weed around the city. Car so expensive that the whole year of police station budget can’t pay back if they dare to make any scratch on it. They trust you because weed doesn’t work the same on your mutate brain, and you get pay well for just driving carefully, but that also the reason why you have to bail the slum when you got a scratch on your drug cartel client’ car.

Now, your hands on the wheel, just like old time. Same powerful boss, same expensive car, but without the weed this time... It’s just not the same without weed… But, you can still do it. All you need to do is push the key into the keyhole…


Where’s there key? Is that silver keychain a key? How do you start this thing? Voice command? What’s the command code? Does it need a password like the nuke?

E.V.A. in the meantime, have a good chat with AMG-G63-Kun:

“Nice to meet you EVA-sama, I am AMG-G63.” The car replied to E.V.A.’s Everything-to-Japanese translation terminal in a deep samurai warrior voice-code. “It’s an honor to be your stead, EVA-sama. I shall devote my life to bring you towards glory!”

AMG-G63-Dono’s roars in his Japanese Warcry that everyone else can interpret as the engine suddenly roaring into life.

Your boss nods in approval. Then he hand a dog to one of you through the window.


“This dog can smells out the scout for you on the field. It is a dog that disappoint you otherwise, because it won’t let you kiss it or arrive to your call on time. You are welcome to discard it like the lazy trash that he is.”

The dog barks. Agreeing with what the Boss said. How disappointing.


“Good luck, amigos.” Trump gave you all a salute that might be German in origin and then the car wheel turn itself to leave the garage. Is it on autopilot? Only E.V.A. will know.


The car drove through a long underground tunnel until the end with a opened garage door welcoming you all into the outside world.


An open plain with the castle-town far behind. Some pedestrian or merchant on horse-pulled car stares at you all in awe and fear. The disappointing dog barks until the car make the proper angle or left or right turn on the wheel. This feels good. The unpolluted air feels fresh. Everything is so nice in this world except this dog that will disappoint you somehow.


After a good 20 minutes’ drive, all sorts of local wild beast that is alien to you can be seen, but they aren't threatening enough to be a monster or attack the highspeed monster that is AMG-G63-san. Monster encounters you do come upon are already in combat with random adventurer or Trump’s mercenary teams with sword and baby-size fireball. You would have jumped out to join in the fun, but the drat dog will not stop barking to get you back on track onto the disappointingly less-fun railroad. If only you can ditch it now instead of depending on it to find the oh-so-special scout. Some of you suspects this dog may be cursed.


Finally, you meet the scout. You knew he is the scout because the dog jumps out of the car and circle around the dwarven man. The dog is getting more actions than all of you combine at this rate.

“Oi! You must be the ‘Special Unit’ I heard about!” The dwarf greet you all with great fanaticism after he recovers from the shock that is Modern-Car. “What the hell is that beast!? I never seem one like that before!”

Talk and do whatever you like. The dog probably wants to be kicked

Awesome, see, no problems.

Tell the dwarf "it's called a car, get in good with Trump and you might be able to have your own some time. What's the situation?"

Also pet the dog

Luxury car with offroad package? You might want to make it yourself, but this isn’t your car....

When you ask this, he break his admiration of the car and turn to you with a serious face. “It’s bad. There’s too many Camelhump takened root in this plain.” His face turn grimmer for the worser news. “They are all at least house size... and I don’t mean those peasant hut.”

Ask the dwarf to give more information about Camelhump activities and status. Weaknesses? What's a good overall description of them?
Meanwhile this dog is making me suspicious. I wanna roll vs Mutant Heritage to try and feel its thinking

actually I dunno if i'm doing this right. How many dice am I supposed to roll? Two? I looked at some other rolls and it was like 4d8 or whatever, but I went back and looked at the manual and it only shows two dice being used on page 5.


nm I realized it was supercharge. I don't feel like wasting energy on this.

Trukk Kneesmasha handled the small dog noting with some dissatisfaction that it wasn't large or particularly vicious. Trukk would've preferred a warg or at least some kind of dire hound, but whatever. The little bastard seemed bright enough and it probably did know how to bite a paycheck on the nuts. Trukk executed a tactical exit of the AMG-G63 by climbing out the window so he could talk to the dwarf.

"So what's a camelhump?", Trukk asked, his traditional orcish ponytail gently blowing in the breeze, "And more importantly, what will you give us for dealing with them?"

"House-sized monsters sound really dangerous! :eek:
We should get someone else to do all the dying for us so we can take all the glory for killing them. The monsters, not the people. But I guess we could do that too if it would please Trump-dono!"

With that, Project E.V.A. ran off waving fistfuls of vouchers for digital currency at anyone who even vaguely looked like they might have at one point waved a stick threateningly against a monster.

"Dangerous? Oh ho ho, No!" The dwarf gave a hearty laugh. "It's just a pain to deal with it."

The dwarf takes the vouchers. "Thanks lad, whatever this is, it's pretty."

Somewhere far away, a grim reaper makes a note on this dwarf's name.

“It would seem none of you know about cam-“ The dwarf cut himself off on the mention of giving you something. “Give what!? This is your job! You are all sent here to clear the field of those Camelhump! As impossible as it would seem!” The dwarf fold his arm against the tall orc without fear of death.

The grim reaper elsewhere moves the dwarf’s name to the to-do list.

Hbar dive into the mind of the dog. It’s simplier and less intelligent that a sectoid, but he felt something else strongly that is not found in more genetically engineered alien. Emotion, and in third-person self narration.

This dog is filled with grudge. It hates itself for disappoint his master. He made a promise to join and play that bxf something game that master liked, but he was so lazy on that day. He overslept. His master don’t kiss him anymore.

The self-hatred of being a failure drove it mad. He will disappoint others equally to undo his mistake. If everyone are disappointed, then it wasn’t disappointment when it become the norm. Master will kiss him again! Yes! Yes! He must disappoint everyone else! Like sending them to the second zone first before the first! Now these new folks will have no choice but to do this task first! Wahaha! Disappoint! Disappoint!

The dwarf sign and pick up tree stick and begin drawing on the soil. He did gave one last ‘you-want-some?’ Stare at Trukk just to make sure his dead flag triggers the dumb orc know his mistake.


“This is a camelhump. Name after the resemblance to camel with wall height legs.”


“When it is time for the Camelhump to mate, their belly swollen down and their head pop into their body to become a GODDAMN TREE.”

The dwarf looks at all of you to make sure you are absorbing this awful knowledge of the local wildlife of this strange new world. He nods after a brief pause and continues. “Not only does it hump the ground for some reason, which cause tremors all around it, but they become this ultra hard animal-product-metal-mix-plant-thing that is tough enough to withstood a troll smash without breaking!”

He looks back at the car as he continues. “Now, i request the boss for fire power, and i think this ‘car’ he sent might have a chance to bring them down before it starts to bore egg-fruit and make the whole field uninhabitable.”

Trukk could feel the first stirrings of Huntlust heating up his blood. Not at the camelbacks or whatever, mind you. The dwarven goober. The orc shot the scout a "make-one-wrong-move" glare and began fiddling with his can of Dire Bill's Dire Mace for Dire Beasts as he considered how to take one of these horny camel ding-dongs down.

He removed the can from his utility belt and idly tossed it around as he asked, "And how do you get them back up once they've become," Trukk made sarcastic air-quotes, "GODDAMN TREES? Smoke them out?"

Once their conversation with the dwarf was over, Trukk began looking for traces of Camelhumps. Likely upturned or disturbed ground. Maybe some camel toes tracks. Perhaps their so-called GODDAMN TREE form would have some metallic elements?
