Mercenaries it is then! So next, why did you join the mercenaries? Being a mercnary is hard work and you don't just choose to have to fight for survival each day of your life, so something must have got you here, it may have been a falling out with your previous king, forsaken for your war crimes, born with powerful magic and exiled in fear. What makes you want to be a cut throat?

>>499622
>Born with powerful magic.

Exiled and left for dead the mercenaries took us in and give us a purpose.

They're almost like family.

Alright then, so now that we know how you got here lets get a little more in depth about your talents. Their are many types of magic in the iron kingdoms, such as nercormancy, blood magic, lighting, fire, then their are special powers such as Fell Calling which is the ability to effect reality with your shout, you also could have the super rare ability to control robots known as War Jacks with your mind, so what will it be?

>>499648
>Fell Calling

Skyrim would approve.

>>499648
I doubt we would be allowed to leave with the warjack ability, it being so rare.

Blood magic sounds fun. Scary enough to the average passion to warrant being an outcast.

It could be a combination of the two, the warcaster ability may have came later, so fellcaller, some sort of death magic, or warcasting?

>>499665
I'll back the fell calling, lots of possible variety in the future.

The first one seemed to not be generating much, interest so I tried it again, this board doesnt let you delete your threads) Anyways, So fell calling is extremely powerful, as you grow you will learn many different shouts, some will shake the very earth, others may protect you from the laws of morality. So what race is our mercenary fell caller?

Human

Trollkin

Rhulic (dwarf)

Iosan (efl)

Humans

Maximum adaptability and an acceptable lifespan.

Dwarves are the sturdy and long-lived folk who hail from the northern nation of Rhul, a sprawling mountainous civilization based around extended family clans. Rhul is the longest enduring and stable civilization in western Immoren. Rhulfolk, as dwarves are commonly known, are stalwart in body and demeanor and generally optimistic about overcoming hardships or obstacles. They readily embrace mechanika, steam power, and manufacturing. They are relatively slow innovators but have shown superlative skill in adapting and improving upon these fields. Most dwarves take considerable pride in their individual areas of expertise, whatever that may be; performing good work is a core value of their culture. This has led to Rhul's reputation for fine crafted goods as well as exceptionally disciplined and professional mercenaries and soldiers Sounds good?

>>499712
Sounds good OP.
Drink beer
Shout at things
Smack other things with hammers.

>>499712
Fantastic. Even better with the family groups, because that means our whole community exiled us. Much drama.

Sounds great, so now that we know who you are, lets talk about who you became, being in the mercenaries groups you have had to taken on a new set of skills. What will be your secondary career? Mechanic, engineer, soldier, assasin, alchemist, your choice.

>>499731
Assassin

Because the dwarves are craftsmen we are rebelling against the norm.

Increase the drama if we ever meet our family again.

>>499737
Supporting. An assassin is as far from a "professional soldier" as you can get.

The cutthroat is an unrepentant killer who makes his living by preying on those weaker than himself. He might have learned his murderous trade simply surviving in the gloom-haunted streets of Blackwater, or he could be a black-hearted assassin, slaying targets at the behest of anyone with enough coin to pay his fee. Regardless of where he learned the finer points of murder, the cutthroat is skilled at stalking his victims and then striking a fatal blow from the shadows. Cutthroats associate with those who operate outside the law, and might band together with other nefarious rogues for a common purpose. Typically, cutthroats prefer to earn their livings by accepting payment for murder or by robbing the corpses of their victims. Some cutthroats accept employment as bodyguards or hired thugs for criminals with more wealth and power than themselves.

>>499774
So
>Spring blade

I'm okay with removing the sword cane so that leaves three.
>>499777

OP how many weapons are we supposed to choose?

>>499781
Yes for knuckleduster, also sword cane

>>499770
Spring blades are pretty, but less effective than a held dagger. Have you ever fought someone by swinging your while fore-arm?

Supporting mace, assassin's dagger, cane sword, knuckledusters. If we can get all 4.

Is my vote.
Mace for unconcealed
Spring blade for concealed
Knuckle dusters for fisticuffs.

availability of goods This chapter covers an expansive list of goods that can be found across western Immoren. It does not cover complications such as scarcity or supply and demand. We encourage Game Masters to be as liberal or as strict with the items and prices found below as they prefer to meet the themes of their campaigns. Not all items are readily available everywhere. It can be hard to find a winter hat for sale in the deserts of the Protectorate at any price. Rare mechanika can seldom be found in a remote village unless said village boasts an arms firm or a retired arcane mechanik. Even in times of peace, the nations of the Iron Kingdoms engage in all manner of trade wars and embargoes against one another’s goods. Under such circumstances, characters need to get creative or travel far for what they want.

Bow 20 gc Bow, great 45 gc Bow, Nyss 35 gc Cannon-shield 45 gc Carbine 60 gc Crossbow 20 gc Crossbow, repeating 30 gc Grenade, concussion 20 gc Grenade, explosive 10 gc Grenade, smoke 5 gc Grenade, strangle gas 20 gc Gun axe 80 gc Hand cannon 100 gc Hand cannon, dual 250 gc Harpoon gun 35 gc Javelin 5 gc Knife, throwing 8 gc Ogrun battle cannon 85 gc Pistol 20 gc Pistol, holdout 15 gc Pistol, magelock 150 gc Pistol, repeating 35 gc Quad-iron 200 gc Radcliffe carbine 250 gc Rifle, long 50 gc Rifle, heavy 120 gc Rifle, magelock 200 gc Rifle, military 45 gc Rifle, repeating 80 gc Rynnish walking stick 40 gc Scattergun 40 gc Sling 5 gc Slug gun 40 gc Sword-cannon, repeating 100 gc Sword-cannon, heavy

>>499806
I can get behind this

>>499813
Rynnish walking stick?

If this doesn't count as melee then I vote this up.

Shoot them with a walking stick.

Being born deep within the east Wyrmwall mountains, your parents knew you were different from the start. After a troubled birth you finally came screaming into this world, and scream you did, at such a young age you had no control over your fell calling powers and accidently sent a shockwave smashing through the caverns. The blast caused little to no damage but was enough to shake the entire room and scare all around. After much debate it was decided that you would be forced to leave when you came of age, and when that time came they were swift with tossing you out with nothing but the clothes are you back, a bag of bread, and a small stone axe. After many months of surviving on your own you came across a town known as Five fingers, a brual town full of whores, murder, coin. After making your way to the local tavern you overheard a group of men talking about orphans joining merc camps and being trained in the art of combat and the kill. This intrigued you so much you decided to set out and find one of these ccamps, and find them you did.

Whos camp did you join?:

Magnus: A powerful warlorde and engineer famous for his custom war jacks and armor, he also supports a mechanical arm and a wicked temper, what he loses in finanial value he makes up for in battlefield prowess.

Daminao: Leading a group of mercs known at the Stell Heads he is a confindent and kind camptain, he holds the coin, and assigns the missions.

Ashlyn: A very noble and loved female war caster, she has many men at her feet, she leads her troops with apsolute fury and revenge for her home land of llael (france)

>>499926
Ashlyn
She knows magic right?

Maybe she can help with this whole shouting thing.

>>499929
Supporting.

>>499930
Ashlynn D'Elyse, born in the far west, was left for dead after her parents were killed during a freedom fight in her home town, she shows the talents for war casting and is a master swordsman. This was an obvious choice for you, after finding where she is camping you set out onto the open road heading to her encamplement. She was quick to accept you, and quicker to train you. You trained under master rifle men, even such legends as Kell Bacloch, a top class sniper and killer, you even took such a shine to him you started living life by his code: "all men are going to die someday, im just really good at killing them." you were quickly being forged into a powerful assassin, learning hand to hand skills as well as being a cunning marksman. One day during training you found your self crying out in the name of battle at which point you shook the trees and earth around you. Once your commander learned of this talent she was able to help you master your first true fell call.

Which call did you learn that day?

Rage Howler: Enemies flee in terror at the sound of your shout

Call of definace: You found the ability to wrap yourself in a protective sonic aura

Call of action: you have leaned to use your powerful voice to boost your own relfexes and speed.

File: kell.jpg (43KB, 411x488px)

>>499937
Also for visual appeal the is Kell. And his magic long rifle "Silence".

>>499937
>Call of action.

An assassin must deal the maximum amount of damage in the shortest amount of time.

It also helps with running away if things get really bad.

>>499937

Rage: great for crowd control after a failed assassination or clearing bodyguards from a mark.

Defiance: useful for combat and utility (diving out of vehicles, cushioning falls, etc)

Action: Improves combat but would alert our target. Good for running away.


I think defiance will be the most useful. We can win battles with careful planning.

Good points guys, what will your first call be?

>>499940
Your choice, I'll support action if you still want it.

>>499944

We are an assassin so we might be a bit squishy.

So the call of defiance! one of the most powerful shouts in all of western immoren. Twice per day you will be able to use all your might to defy your odds, with the act of defiance you will be under its power for one hour, it will grant you the ability to survive one fatal blow and keep on fighting. After learning and perfecting your first call you were feeling confident, you had head stories about the legendary fell caller Greygore Boomhowler, said to have known all the fell calls that are possible. You now felt as if you were ready for your first mission, after some discussion your head captain agreed to let you try your hand a low value target just to get your blade wet. Your target was Sylus Wyshnylar, a rouge elven mage with quite the taste for human blood, and worst yet he hadnt paid his gambling debts. You been assigned to infiltrate the town Forkton and find your target and take him out, if you are caught you will not be given mercy by the town guard.. Do you accept your first contract?

>>499957
Accepted.

(So much lore. )

(Glad you guys are enjoying this, much to come)

With much confidence you signed your first contract, you had little information, but you atleast had a first step. Looking around at the other members of your guild you realize you may not be quite prapred for your first mission, you had a little bit of coin but not enough to get everything you really want. After finding a small trader in your camp you begin bartering for your first few pieces of gear.: Now not including the items you will have once we get to preasent day, pick three of these items to bring on your first quest.

Climbing kit: a 20ft rope, and metal claw

6 throwing daggers: crudely made but very sturdy, these daggers will surely fine their mark

old miliatry rifle: its seem some years but its cheap, stadard issue and for the most part in good shape

Bandages: either stabbed, shot, or burned alive, you will want to cover your wounds.

Small sword: not the biggest or sharpest, but still a nice piece of steel with a wicked edge and point

Revolver: not a bad looking little hand gun, this 6 shooter is sure to get the job done

Leather amror: it may not stop machine guns or jack fists but you sure will be glad its not just your old shirt.

Smoke grenade: maybe a little escentric, but who knows when you will need a field of dense cover.

Small shield: just big enough to cover your torse when raised, it makes a nice item in your off hand

Iron cuffs: you may be in the buisness of killing, but sometimes keeping someone still is a god send.

"So, what will it be small man, see anything you like?" he says in a rough but kind voice, he looks down at you will dark beady eyes under greasy grey hair.

>>499969
I'm for the
>Climbing kit
>Smoke grenade
>Bandages

>>499982
-Leather Armor. Protection while being relatively quiet.
-Bandages. Injury is inevitable.
-Climbing kit. You always need a rope.

It seems we're getting this>>499992

"i'll take the armor, the bandages and the clibming tools" you say swiftly. "Sounds good, ill just put in on your tab, he says as he laughs and hands over the items across the chipping old counter. You notice you he had the mark of a Khadoran man at arms on his arm, it seems he was once a powererful soldier in the red army to the north, not wanting to delay any further, you decide to head out about your away. As you make your way across camp a couple of thoughts begin to come to mind

"I may be better off if I had a partner for this one.."

"Maybe I should ask around to get a bit more information on my target.."

"I should probaly go ahead and get a good nights sleep before I head out.."

"Time is burning, ive wasted enough time, I need to head out now.."

You decide that the best weapon for this fight will be knowledge, and you plan to be armed to the teeth. Your first instinct was to talk the quarter master Bartolo, he had assigned you the mark after all. Bartolo was a well aged ogrun, a type of monstrous humanoid, he always war a set of rusty plate mail and a great axe. Rumor says he could chop a warjack clean in half with one mighty swing, you had never seen him do it but you went going to ask him to either. He seemed to always be chewing something and talked in short thoughtful bursts. He was around 7 foot tall and had blue skin and deep set in eyes with scars to match. You approach his tent quickly and call outside the flap. "master, are you in?" you say in almost shout still trying to show a air of respect. you hear heavy foot steps as rain begins to lightly fall in the valley. "Come in boy" he says solidly and you immediately duck inside. You see he is oddly missing the top half of his armor and is infact not wearing anything but just his bottom plate, his lean and toaned body is riddled with silver streaks and gashes from countless past battles. Not wanting to waste anymore of the "mans" time you get down to buisness. "master, I was hoping to get a bit more inisght on my target.." he replies quickly with "smart thinking, what would you like to know?"

Looks, likes, and known features

last known whereabouts, and notable interactions

the current town hes in, and their ways

the road to the target town

"Sylus is one of those skinny prissy little elves, this one however kept is soul after the fall of the elven gods." he says roughly. "He has pale skin and a bald head, probaly wearin some sort of fancy robe" he spits and continues, "he has all sorts of magic tricks to pull, our scouts say he even has a way to shield himself from sight.. as for the town, its just a simple docking village, lots of trade, and the town gaurd is pretty small" he says looking around his tent for a unknown item "I think i have a few old contacts still out there is you think you need the help, other then that this is a pretty simple mission boy" he says as he takes a seat and begins polishing is war axe in his massive hands.

After deciding you now know all you can, you set off on your first steps of your quest, you learn that the town is only about a 6 hour walk from here, and the light rain should keep you cool on the road. As you leave camp you take one last look at the place you have leaned to call home, you say a silent prayer to see it again and continue on your way. You begin your walk with the sun to your back and a fair cloud cover, the wind whips along the path lightly and it seems to push you along like an old friend. The rain makes small patter sounds on the dirt road and trees, combined with your heart beat, and own steps, this sounds like war drums to you. Being as pumped as can be, and a little nervous you have to admit you set in for a long path ahead. About three hours in you take a pinch of dry bread from a cloth and begin chewing it, it has a flaky texture but is lightly sweet and rather pleasent. You take a look around you, you see a few sattered farm houses but no real life to be noted. The continues in a steady stride when you see birds overhead rush by, you dont seem to think anything of it untill you head a crunch of leaves and sticks. You stop and begin looking all around, trying to find the source of the sound. Roll a D20 guys, Ill take the highest roll.

And a 1 you shall receive! so with and 8 you begin to panic and look and look around, you think its coming from the woods next to you, you have just enough time to take a few steps back before a large man is animal skins comes bursting from the trees with a crude bone axe. He roars into the air and you smell the scent of decaying flesh on his breath, you have been trained, and do now cower from this fight.

What do you do next? You can also try a lore check to see if you can find some valuable information about your foe! Act fast, your life is in your hands, roll 2D6 with your chosen response, the highest roll is what happens to your hero.

The Tharn have always been able to channel the savage power of the Devourer Wurm. In times of peace, their villages are indistinguishable from those of now largely extinct northern Khadoran barbarian tribes. In times of war, however, their populations begin to boil with bestial metamorphosis. Bellowing a call to the Wurm sends their ravagers into an unbridled frenzy of physical transformation: muscle mass expands and thickens, skin hardens, and teeth elongate into terrible fangs. Their senses become as keen as the beasts they revere, and they fall into a state of insatiable hunger. Legends of inhuman deprivation among the ravagers are true; they gleefully tear out and eat the hearts of their prey, eyes aglow with berserk madness. These acts of frenzied feasting add an element of terror to their grievous attacks.

You gain plus 1 to all attack rolls against this foe. You immediately bring your mace up to a fighting position and avoid a wild swing from the monstrous man which cuts the air overhead..

Now what?

Rolled 5, 5 = 10 (2d6)

The mace makes a terrible crunching sound as its cold iron smashes through flesh and bone alike, you reel back as your powerful swing almost loses your grip on the mace but you keep control. The massive monster flys back into dense brushing gripping its mangled face and screaming through blood and cracked skull, a horrible guttural yell, you notice the monster has dropped its axe during the attack, and it seems to have slightly damaged the blade when it hit the hard road, the rain continues to lightly fall..

Now what will you do?

I'll roll to keep the bad luck coming my way.

You quickly jump back and put your mace back to your side, you scan your surroundings and find a nearby bush on the other side of the road, you dive for it and crouch behind, your training kicks in and you grab for your trusty rifle, as you pull it from your back you see the creature begin to rise again. "Come fuckin get some you some of a bitch" you mutter as you quickly prime your rifle and take aim. You make eye contact with the demon across from you, it walks in a hunched over leaking blood and cuts, you see you completely took its right eye and smashed its jaw to bits, you think it actually may be an improvement. As it guns into a full leap no axe just its wild claws lashing wildly you fire off a perfect shot cutting clear through the creatures chest and shattering its ribs, it rolls violently to the dirt and lands about a foot away from you as it heaves and bleeds its last breath..

Now what?

Going with the head shot. As you smart off one last time to it, you pull out your sweet ass cane shot gun, you point the tip directly at the creatures head and pull the trigger. An eruption of fire and smoke smash into the road as you completely blow its head to bit, blood and brains splash onto your face and hands as its pieces of skull bounce off your tough leathers. A single smoking shell falls to the ground and bounces once, as you look up smiling you just barely see a axe being thrown full force towards your chest by another tharn coming from the brush.. roll 2d6 to dodge

Thinking fast you throw down your can and duck while stepping back, you feel the axe clip your shoulder as it wildly arcs down and buries its self into the road behind you, as you look up you see the creature lunge forward with a crude rock hammer it takes a few wild swings you can easily avoid then growls as it poses it self for a true duel, behind it you see the brush move and another familiar silhouette begins to emerge..

What will you do?

Rolled 2, 6 = 8 (2d6)

I think we need to run.

I'm rolling to try and ditch them in the forest.

Rolled 1, 5 + 1 = 7 (2d6 + 1)

(Well, both guns are empty now. Do we need to spend an entire turn reloading? )

The beast is a fool if it expects some honor duel. As it poses, we back pedal off the road through the bushes and prepare our mace for a blow.

not necisarrly, your rifle gets 8 shots, and your can gets two. Anyways, I'll combine the two ideas.

Not wanting to engage in a duel with the mad man, you begin to smoorthly backpeddle while pulling your rifle up, you begin to ring shots out into the creature, the first misses as is jumps to the side, bu the next two find their mark in the shoulder and left chest, though the shot spacing could have been better, you see it wince and pain as dark blood spurts, you see the other tharn emerge from the forest behind ready to fight..

Roll 2d6 for damage, then choose a following action

To your surprise the beast falls in a rolling hunch, spewing blood from its many holes from your powerful rifle, it convulses on the ground in agony, but you dont find any joy in this victory as the battle is not over, the last of the tharn raiding pack sprints into action axe in toe, it makes a violent but calculated back swing that if you dont avoid will surely slice you deep in the mid section, roll to dodge guys 2d6!

The axe gashes your leather armor and lightly slices your side, you feel a light feeling of warm blood begin to seep from your minor wound, you shake it off and keep concentrated, the creature reposts and goes for another hard over hand swing witch you also slip by as you feel a rush of air and a scent of foul blood soar by your person. You are not pissed, and know this thing has to die, right here, right now..

He drops his rifle, silently closes distance and lunges with his spring blade.

Zuth launches into the air, his blade leading the way to sink fully into the tharns head. The beast collapses into its back, Zuth riding it down to the ground. his gaze locked onto it's eyes, savoring the light vanishing.

Holy shit, that roll.

Zuth leaps forward, and with his spring blade released he drives its cold sharp steel directly into its soft throat, you feel your blade slice completely through its neck. As the flesh tears a torrent of dark blood spews from the gash and creatures makes a horrible death rattle, it drops its large weapon with a thud and begins to buckle at the knees. Feeling the thrill of the kill set in you quickly pivot and begin to stab the large man in the back repeatedly right above the kindies. More blood begins to pour and before long you are drenched and grinning wildly, the creature buckles at its side and falls over heavily, its collapse exposes how gervious the neck wound was, its head hanging only by a few strands, its spine comepletly severed.. you realize the first blow was the killing one...

what do you do now? standing in the rain, drenched in tharn blood, and glowing like the son in your revelry..

The dwarf towers over his fallen foes, with the at most confidence you use your blade to hack pieces of their long matted hair off, one had a small skull wound in its braid. You look around at your victory, each one of these things were twice your size easy, and could hack you in half in seconds. But no, you stood strong, kept your wits, and acted fast. Looking through to corpses you find nothing but their crude weapons and heavy hide armor now full of various holes. As you catch your breath you realize you actually may have gained some valuable insight into fights to come, you decide you need to focus your skills on: (level up)

Defense +1 to all dodge rolls for this hero

Melee attacks +1 to all melee rolls for the hero

Ranged attacks, same

One additional fell call

The roar of the battle has released a new talent in your mind, you feel you now have the ability to literally command your own body to act faster. The call of action allows you to gain a +1 bonus to dodge checks, make a dash, stand up, or a full reload while active, each round you may choose one single action of those to activate while your calls aura still lumes. Alright guys, good fight, but this is just the start, I hope to have many more sessions, Ill be back on tomorrow a little earlier than we started today, their are many challenges and rewards ahead heroes.

Alright guys, So Zuth has just gained quite a bit of useful knowledge with his all out grudge match with the Tharn. The rain continues to slowly fall and it seems the tharn blood is being washed off your person like your shedding some dark sin. You look around and notice small farm house to the distance, you see some live stock and a clothing line with a bright blue dress. You yourself may have become a killer, but knowing you may have saved the farm family from its utter demise, and you take some pride in that.. What next guys?

>>500753
We took some slight wounds so let's take a short break at the farm.

Mention the tharn we just saved them from if they won't let us in.

I say we go talk to the lowly peasants. Maybe they have something useful to say.

He is wearing grey overalls with a large amount of oil and dirt stains, he has a tool sling around his midsection and has a slight scar above his right eye. He looks about 31, has long brown hair and grey green eyes witch glisten which fatal intent to protect his home and kin.

The man leads you to a small dining area where you see a young girl is a light blue dress stirring something in a large iron pot on a small stove. He signals for you to take a seat at a little table with some wooden chairs. As you set down the chair creaks but seems rather sturdy and surprisingly comfortable.. "lunch will be on soon, rabbit stue with some spices, hope your hungry, this is the least I can do to help..

As you pull your weapons out and begin to clean and load them, you head a soft but mature voice behind you say "oh wow, haven't seen that model in a while, I had one just like it.." you turn to see I very pretty woman with long dark hair and set in eyes, she keeps her hair in a braid, shes wearing a long flowing white button down shirt and slacks, you look her over and try to to seem offensive. She puts a hand on your shoulder and asks "where are you headed, and what happened out there?" she asks curiously before taking a seat across from you.

She begins to expertly sew you shut as she hums a little tune "so what brings you out forkton?" she says looking up from here work to meet your eyes.

"oh damn, I hope it is'nt those bastards again.. stay right here, ill be back, let me just send them away." she says as she stands up obviously annoyed and walks to the door. She opens the door and stands cocked with her hand on her hip. "what do you two want now? my left arm?" she says angrily to the stranger at the door.

You quickly take action seeing the situation turning, you pull out your rifle with a shaky grip and steady it at your shoulder. The anger begins to overtake you and you sound your mighty fell call in full might, a great call of defiance. Sigils and runes begin to form around you feet and a whipping wind begins to form around your body until it tightens to wear it fits perfectly over your form like a magical armor aura. Hearing your call the men step back and draw their tesla lances. "A bloody fell caller. this far south? Ermus would love to see this, why don't you some with us little man" he says mockingly with a evil grin.

How do you act? Be smart, maybe survey the situation.

>>501003

The men laugh, and the leader says "this little wench hasnt paid her property taxes, and I'm here to reposes this shack on precious farm lands" they say angrily getting closer. "Please! I just sent the payment in when my husband went into town for work, this has to be a mistake!" she cries out nearly in tears. "I'm tired of the lies and all the shit, this is over!" he says yelling as he jabs her in the ribs with his long metal two pronged staff, you see arcs of lighting jut into her small form and her convulse and cry out as she begins to faint.

You begin to try to frantically bargain with them as they become more and more annoyed, and right when you think things are about to snap, you see a large wooden slab come sweeping across the entry way as both men are completely swept away by the force of the strike. As you steady yourself and look through the door way you see a medium size labor jack holding a tree with its rusty iron claws battling the infantry. When you look around you see the man you met before with his rifle seems to be barking commands at the metal titan. Then out of no where you see a large blue metal spear come jutting out the left pec of the labor jack as you see a seprate warjack come bolting from down the path the impail the rusty scrap jack with a fierce battle lance. The other men seem to have been killed in the fight.

How do you respond?

Warjacks are heavily armored titans, they require a constant supply of coal in their central furnace to provide power to the sub systems, I war jack is mostly autonomous and relies on simple commands in battle, though most jacks are extremely armored, their armor becomes less complete in the joints and lower sections. You gain +1 to all damage rolls vs warjacks of this type.. What is your action now?

>>501108
welcome to the thread, stick around, things are about to get awesome

Rolled 6, 6 = 12 (2d6)

>>501126
Focus fire on one of the leg joints.
With our rifle of course.

>>501131
You take aim, trying to avoid the thick armor plates on the knees and thighs you sight your aim for the connecting ball join of the knee. With the unprotected iron joint in sight you begin ringing out shots into the collossal machines right leg. You see the metal chip and crack as it slightly buckles to one side before pushing its heavy iron shield into the earth to defect the incoming shots, roll 2D6+1 for damage on the jack.

Rolled 2, 2 + 1 = 5 (2d6 + 1)

>>501134
Rolling to cripple the robot.

>>501135
Though you had great placement it seems some of your shots may have just glanced the vulnerable joint, it seems to have taken some damage though. It pivots on one foot and raises it shield high catching the light, it swings it hard and heavy down overhead. It loses its swing mid way, due to a large amount of well placed shots from the man with the rifle, he knows these things inside and out and knows right where they hurt. The jack becomes still and quiet for a moment and just pours smoke and steam as it seems to have stalled in a striking pose. "Shoot it now! I've overloaded it engine!, shoot it now!" he yells almost spitting as he ducks and reloads.

>>501101
Still around?

Rolled 1, 5 = 6 (2d6)

>>501148
More shots to the right leg
And tell old man the right leg is damaged.
Let's kill this thing.

>>501153
Shots ring out over the valley, the sound of heavy metal being struck repeatedly echoes loudly as small pieces of cold iron come bursting off from the weakened joint, the combine with you and concentrates fire directly into the knee joint. The metal begins to warp at the weight begins to crumble to damaged actuator, you see oil and steam spew as a rivet goes flying wildly and with a final popping sounds the leg folds and the warjack joes down hard onto its center joint. It roars back to life and makes a violent stab with its razor war spear which is aimed directly for you.

Dodge roll!

Rolled 4, 2 = 6 (2d6)

>>501168
Not this time robot.

>>501177
You quickly make a flying roll backwards to avoid being impailed by the large spear, the force of the stab is enough to rip through the door frame and stone wall, sending wood, brick, and glass chunks soaring into the main room. You stand and keep your aim at the jack turns its attention the the other man, using its shield to push its self up it makes a wild swipe at the would be sniper, just clipping his legs and sending him flying into a near by tree. The jack smashes the ground wildly as the strike continues and it partialy buries one are in the soft farm dirt on its attack.

Now what do you do?

Rolled 9 (1d20)

>>501194
Rolling perception to see if we see anyone who could be commanding the jack

>>501216
You take this time to begin to scan the area, you dont notice any sort of commander, all the troops that came with the monster had been bent and broken by the side swipe earlier, it seems the jack maybe was being marshaled at the start, but it now acting on its own, it wont probaly be very effective in its strikes and defenses, you also see the jacks burner seems to be over heating under all the stress and so commander.

What do you do now?

Rolled 4, 6 = 10 (2d6)

>>501231
Use the call of action shout.

Reload sniper

Focus fire the left leg.

>>501246
Seeing that that jack is in no shape to make accurate attacks, you drop your defenses, and release your new fell call, the call of action. With this new found speed you are able to steady yourself and reload your weapon completely, then seconds later continue your barrage of hot metal into the injured bot. You place each shot perfectly into the opposite leg in the same joint. The shells pierce the heavy metal joint and ring out loudly as they deflect out the other side. Roll 2d6+1 damage

>>501116
Well we are pretty green. It makes sense that we would not be artemis enteri level competent.

>>501256
Come on gimme a crit!

>>501261
Ill take it, you seemed to have done some moderate damage with that burst, you see the titan completely fall over onto its back, it flails wildly attempting to stand up, but without a caster a warjack is very clunky in making actions such as this. It wriggles wildly before completely breaking at one knee, it falls over onto its side with a large thud throwing earth and dirty up around its impact. The warjack growls a low metalic growl and hot steam mixes with the cool rainy air as it prepares for its death.

Now what?

>>501257
Artemis was a top 3 assassin in the forgotten realms novels dnd setting.

>>501277
Keep a close eye on it and check up on the farmer.

I'm pretty sure he took a beating.

And see if his wife and child are nearby.

Rolled 2, 2 + 1 = 5 (2d6 + 1)

>>501277
Ask the farmer if he can take control of the jack without damaging it further? It would be a good prize to give our captain. Went away on a easy mission, came back with a salvaged warjack.

Shoot the wrist joints until they break so the jack can't move or attack.

>>501296
Oh right, this. Check up on farmer and woman inside to make sure none of the rubble got thrown on her.

>>501307
>>501296
You pear out over the field to see the old man limping over using his rifle as a crutch. Knowing hes steal alive brings you some ease, you look inside the house to see the wife passed out on the floor with a slight bit of rubble over her body. You scan the remaining area and cant seem to find the daughter, you hear a slow whoosh of steam, as you back around you see the flame light of the burner and the jacks eyes flicker to a cold grey. Last bits of steam seap from the jack as the light ream patters across its metal shell, streaks of oil run off it armor plates.

Welcome to the world of the Iron Kingdoms! A land full of magic, war, and adventure. This land holds many secrets and wonders, but be warned, the iron kingdoms are unforgiving. Together we will create a brand new story, you the posters will control exactly what happens to your hero or villain. You may find yourself being a powerful mage known as a warcaster with the ability to command large steam powered robots known as WarJacks. Perhaps your more in it for the coin, you like to be knee deep in the shit of things, and come out clean and rich on the other side. Maybe your just working your way through the army one corpse at a time. The choices are yours, who you are is your own design, but who you will become is all up to Iron kingdoms.
In this first part, players will have the chance to vote for their characters items, race, and background. Each choice will decide the roads you may take and where they lead.
Actions will also be determined by a roll of 2D6, 1's will take 3 points off the final number.

That's a super rare magical skill.

>>501321
>>501327

He seems hurt but not in a dire way, hes still able to hobble pretty good. He limps him way up to the house, he looks at the wreckage the jack has made during the fight, he just shakes his head silently and continues through the door. After a couple hours later you end up finding the daughter in the upstairs closet, the woman is shaken but alright, the man took a nasty break in his foot but seems fine as well. You learn that the men were Cygnar inforces sent by the town mayor to collect owed coin on the property. The man also explains he had not been paying the taxes as he said he had, he had been saving to build his own war jack that would be able to help him family out around the farm, and if he needed the coin he could sell the jack for a large profit after he had repaired it.. It seems though he hadnt thought they would come all this way to collect, and his jack has taken some serious damage...

What do you say or do now guys?

Hmmm alright, we will use him for our advantage, can we make him minion.

As you walk you look back to see the chaos you caused, and think how much worse it may have been if you hadnt been here, you laugh to yourself thinking of those tharn being slaughtered by those jacks.. With this last thought of joy you pull up your hood as the sky roars over head. Rain pours heavily now as you walk down the path. I'ts not before long you see a small wooden sign that says Forkton, 1 mile. Your walk was almost over, but your journey has just began. As you walk up to the main gates you see large wooden fences and a few stone towers further inside, you appear to enter in some sort of market district.
