Allright people, listen up.

Fresh from the flyboys, this is the small town of Imai in paperform. The main thrust of the Pytherian advance runs parallel to it, and so they've sent a small force to garrison. Our job is to advance, oust the defenders and fortify the place. More of a thorn in their side we are, the more heat they'll have to divert our way and so the longer Isvind Command has to recall and resupply a reaction force to try and dent the rolling waves of destruction.

No pressure here lads, but retreat isn't really an option.

We've got the blessed help of a small light mortar section and all the volunteers we could fit in a sightly damaged truck.

It's not much.

At least some of them can almost shoot.

Please come closer - except for you, Duck. You stay in your corner.

Tactical believes - note the word - that Imai here is held by a small platoon of Pytherians, with only light support. Pathfinders, in other words. They'll have rifles, grenades and decent fighting spirit but their light armanent should prove their undoing.

They have set up TWO major operation centre - you'll see them here - a bakery, and the manor overlooking the two. On the approach they've fortified three buildings which provides them with an entrenched position. Root them out with grenades, flame or gas.

We'll be coming in here through the woods, and should therefore easily bypass their perimeter and be up close and personal before they know what's happening. It is possible that they will recieve LIGHT reinforcements coming up from the main advance.

Flyboys did tell me tell you they spotted a single light mechanized walker. We don't know where it is. If you get flanked by it, you can kiss our heavy support goodbye and your face next. Find it, and tear it to chunks.

They haven't had time to fortify so do not expect landmines, traps and other such pitfalls.

Now, having told you all that, you'll need to pick someone to handle the RADIO for this mission. Can't have all of you shouting at each other. Don't let the power to smite your enemies with mortar barrages get to your head.

Alice? Duck? Which one of you? Heavy units don't have the field of vision required.

>>1766467
Give the radio to me. I'm from the Communications Colledge after all.

it is a quiet DUSK HOUR. Vague shadows flicker in the windows of the town beyond.

We have taken no fire as we approach. Our quarry is occupied with something. Spring on them now while their distraction lasts.

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

Squad Leader Alice rallies the troopers, and they pour from the tunnels. Just in time for Alice to bounce a grenade off of the interior window and back into the assemble squad, getting ready to fight. The ensuing explosive shockwave turns the bakery into a charnel house.

>Spider KIA. Alice KIA. 3 Troopers KIA. 2 Pathfinders KIA.

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

Recon Specialist Sloth throws a grenade in beautiful arc, and accelerates its detonate to ensure no loss of kill probability - the grenade goes off immediately.
Inside SQ Alice's previously prepared grenade trap. The explosion is much reduced, and shrapnel fills the tunnel.

The four pathfinders freeze in their death-kneel flinch and raise their firearms. Some ready grenades.

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

We still hold the bakery! We can still salvage this!

Advancing down the street the northwest squad is met with a wall o flame and they open fire at it - firing willdy, but effectively.

To th southwest, the wounded pathfinders massage their brusied ribs and prepare smokegrenades. We lose sight of them and their plans.

Your skills would be [Accuracy] - 10 and [Chance] - 9.

In retrospect, that could be clearer. Blame the starving typists.

You may freely roll Chance to manipulate probability at base rating 9 on 3d6. This costs 1 AP. 1 AP gives +1 to this roll.

It's base effect is 3 - which for you is... pretty hefty. 2 AP gives +1 Effect.

You may take a penalty to Chance of -1 (or: spend 1 Ap) to target +1 target above the normal 1.

As [Chance] can be a bit odd to work with, here are two freebies:

>+6 Skill [6Ap]
>Increase Effect by +1 [2 AP]
>Target 4 Fellow Troopers [-3 skill]
>Manifest [1 AP]

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

The Pathfinders fight their way out of the heavy gunk, and into the waiting arms of our reinforcements. They make a fight of it sure enough. One would expect no less from the pride of the Legion.

In the end, sheer superiority of local firepower prevails.

The final two pathfinders throw down their weapons and surrender.

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

The light walker rumbles. It's internal ammo depot has undergone a tremendous mauling, and with a cacaphonous roar, it detonates. No aid from that direction.

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

All Pytherian forces defeated or surrendered.

Victory!

53% Trencher Casualties!
9 Trooper Reinforcement casualties (60%)

. . . Ahem.

Good work Trenchers. And we even have some captured AT guns to play with. Not sure we can salvage that Light Walker, but we can strip the cannon and affect repairs by cannibalising its plates and supplies.

Thank you for running this one shot. Made my evening, wish I had been on /qst/ earlier to participate sooner.

The random traits are fantastic. I wanted to be a REGULAR TROOPER in order to learn the ropes but being the unlicensed psionic in hiding (they implant you with BOMBS in your SPINE!!) is so much better.

>>1767637
Boom.

>>1767581
But to answer your question, curious voice - legends tell that during the Invasion of the Theurges, in the spring and high summer of 473, a straggling band of heroes, scoundrels, knights, volunteers, hedgemagi and one pirate fought a rearguard action against the 7th Legion and bled them white over the long, hot summer weeks.

Their story ends at the walls of the Isfelt, where they led a baggage train of civilians they had sheltered, nurtured and grown over the preceeding weeks. The refuges were safely ensconed in the white walls of Isfelt, and when the war was over, they built a Shrine to that Nameless Company that had managed to free from the prospect of chains and tears.

but what happened to them? The brave, the quick, the cunning, the sly, the cursed, the odd, the willing, the wanton, the piratical ?

Well . . .

Is that a story worth telling too?

>>I wanted to see if I could pull of a meatgrinder that didn't make dying too awful an inconvenience. I think it worked.
I'd say a large part of the reason was how easy it was to generate a character, get into the action, and replace one relative to your other skirmishes. It helps that you explictly mentioned that every unit is expendable.
>I might run another oneshot of TRENCHERS at some point, and you're welcome to use the same characters.
The terrain alteration mechanic was very interesting and powerful. I think it's one of the few mechanics that makes stealth a viable mechanic in a skirmish. I'd like to see something like it in another skirmish you run.

What's the next story you're going to tell, QM?

This next story involves a LONESOME BAND OF PROFESSIONALS who found a thing in the dusty dustbowl desert, and took it home. THen they hooked it up to their base reactor, and, alas, things went somewhat non-eucledian from there.

Now, a small looseknit group of somewhat hassled, frazzled people in powerarmor have to deal with an interplanar roach infestation.

Thanks for the link, QM. I might make that skirmish the first skirmish I'll unlurk in to participate, because of how interesting this one shot was.
I'm worried I might not be able to skirmish as much as I'd like though, and end up botted a lot.

>>1767581
Ahh, so they were Changed and then buried alive by their comrades? Dogface can sympathize. How long have they been buried there, unable to [MOVE] or [ACT]? Probably a very long time.

It is a big shame that Dogface did not find them, Dogface has plenty of Action Points to share.
