Orders are in. As you know already quantum.

For everyone else, prepare for imminent doom, despair and dysentery.

In that order.

Sorry, just got back in town, sending orders shortly.

Hectic nonsense, mini-crisis, more significant crisis, and a holiday. Sorry, folks. I've got orders, Eighteen'll be up in a few days or so.

Apparently, I fucking died. I'd apologize for the delay but Silverdream would get all irritated that I was treading on Canadian territory. Instead, from beyond the grave, I'll just present you with...

Round Eighteeen

Initiative: Green, Yellow, Hunter, Grey, Blue, Orange

Extras: Each team will earn +1 CP at the end of Round Eighteen.

Image
Green Turn 18a
Green spends 5 CP and takes the lead. Little Jack decides that he has had enough playtime and makes a tactical play, rushing forward, snatching up Gold12, and plowing straight through a wall.

Image
Green Turn 18b
He cocks an arm back and performs a mighty throw, launching the glittering Grey straight through another wall and landing him on his face mere studs from the border of Orange’s safezone.

Image
Green Turn 18c
Gold12 is Disrupted. Jack finishes his movement by slamming his bulk against a wall, effectively blocking line of sight from all directions. It’s a good move and he has to hope it will be enough.

Image
Yellow Turn 18a
While the rest of Yellow Team mounts the ladder toward Level Three, Snake Yellow calls his new buddy Firebeard over for a brief chat. First, he hypnotizes the Pirate Lord with his four-eyed stare and then bites him, injecting him with a paralytic. The poison takes root and has the added benefit of isolating Firebeard from his powers.

Image
Yellow Turn 18b
Snake Yellow then orders the Hydra to turn and gobble Firebeard up. As the monster ingests the pirate, it also absorbs his fire powers. The Hydra now has 3d4 SN Dice.

Image
Yellow Turn 18c
The Hydra belches as Snake Yellow turns to climb the ladder toward Level Three.

Image
Hunter Turn 18a
Armor Hunter smashes his pistol into the Revenant Incubation Chamber, cracking the glass.

Image
Hunter Turn 18b
As he moves out through the hole in the wall he created, his monster breaks free. It’s a freakish combination, it’s original reptilian DNA still in the horrific process of transforming into a wolf-like canine form. Bone claws burst forth from the backs of its fists and it lets out a tortured scream.

Image
Hunter Turn 18c
The beast’s loyalty penalty, having been left to incubate, is 25%. That is, there is a 25% chance that the Headhunters will lose control of it on any given turn. The tradeoff is that it’s about 25% stronger than the average, so Hunter may choose one of the following benefits for it: +1 Armor, +1 Skill, or +2 Movement. Hair Hunter tries to give it a Loyalty Boost (each such Boost will cost an Action and offset the beast’s Loyalty Penalty by 25% on the following turn) by grabbing up the rib bones dropped by the previous Revenant and feeding them to the creature. It gobbles them up. Success! The beast will be completely loyal on Turn 19.

Image
Hunter Turn 18d
Bandanna Hunter also tries to provide a boost to the monster, calling up the chill of the dead to encase the creature in Ice Armor. The spell backfires, however, and the creature’s claws are encased in ice instead. The pain spikes into the Revenant monster and it howls in agony. Its Loyalty Boost is negated and it will be again 25% likely to go wild next turn. Disappointing, sure. But plus side? Ice Claws (+1 Damage).

Image
Grey Turn 18a
Grey starts off visible this turn. Gold12 rolls to his feet, sprints the distance needed to line up a clear shot at Little Jack, and heroically fires off a supernaturally powered beam that punches a hole straight through the midsection of the big man. Incredibly, Jack finally falls dead, a mighty oak falling in the forest. In addition to the 2 kill score for the hero kill, Gold12’s Rite of Worth kicks in and their total score increases by 1.

Image
Grey Turn 18b
The other Greys phase out, blurring into the walls. The turret nearby quickly loses tracking.

Image
Grey Turn 18c
Down on the first level, the Oni and Bear join back up and ascend toward Level Two.

Extras Turn 18a
The two Zombie Hordes move in on the ladders, one in Blue and one in Orange.

Image
Extras Turn 18b
The First Zombie flat out launches itself down the hallway, soaring through the air like a missile aimed at Blue Android. Its sword bites into the android’s neck. Nanobots rush to reinforce the area but the sword powers through them. Every defense in the Android’s body desperately kicks in to ward off the blow but still the sword cuts through them like a hot knife through butter. In a flash, with an awful tearing sound, Blue Android’s head is ripped away from his body.

Image
Extras Turn 18c
As the hardsuit powers down, blood and oil geyser from Blue’s neckhole. The First Zombie, its revenge sated, is immediately dispossessed. It goes limp and slams into the opposite wall with bone crunching force. It falls to the floor before the stunned remnants of Blue Team.

Image
Blue Turn 18a
They decide to make the best of a bad situation and, stepping over the boss’ corpse, move around the corner toward the exit.

Image
Blue Turn 18b
One of the Ninjas moves out to meet up with the rest of the team while the other locks down Blue’s trapdoor, just in time to stop the Zombies. The Oni stares his hatred at his former minions, still enraged at their betrayal. However, he has pledged his loyalty to Grey Team and has received no orders to attack them, so he merely looks on.

Image
Orange Turn 18a
Orange Team either moves toward or ascends the ladder toward Level Three.

Image
Orange Turn 18b
Orange Spy steps to the edge of her safe zone and inputs several commands on her Controller. She grins back at the WageMage and points up to the video screens. WageMage seems absorbed in something on his phone but takes notice.

Image
Orange Turn 18c
The Commands take effect as all of Orange’s reinforcements are murdered in their Stasis Chambers. One’s head pops off like a dandelion, one suffocates to death, and god only knows what happens to the middle one. As usual, friendly fire inflates the kill score but does not count for the three kills needed to unlock Orange’s Exit Gate. The senseless act of violence seems to feed the WageMage. His eyes light up with glee, a death’s head grin spreads slowly across his features, and pure power gathers around his form.

Image
Orange Turn 18d
In an absurd display of superphysical prowess, he crosses the distance to Gold12 with supernatural celerity.

Image
Orange Turn 18e
Catching the Grey totally unawares, WageMage uses his momentum to slam Gold12’s head into the adjacent wall, splattering brains and gore everywhere. The Grey Hero’s phasing isn’t even quick enough to save him from his fate and he slides limply to the floor, dead and gone.

Image
Orange Turn 18f
With nothing to track, the Orange Turret spins and fires off a laser beam at one of the Green Stasis Chambers, cutting its occupant in half easily. I allowed this because dudes in Stasis Chambers aren't team members until they are released. One shot remains on the turret.

Round Eighteen Overwatch F
Level Three Kill Tracker to Unlock Gates shows Green and Grey with 1 Kill each and Orange closest to unlocking with 2 Kills. Other teams still require 3 Kills each to unlock gates. Keep in mind that Grey and Hunters are not actually required to gain these kills. For Grey, everything they’ve done so far is a matter of prestige and they can quit the field anytime they like. They need to have at least one surviving member who makes it out before the other teams in order to claim superiority. Hunters may only quit the field when they’re dead or there is no one else left alive, so their tracker here is academic. The only thing the Warden is paying attention to for them is their kill count.

Grey starts to pull away in first place, having racked up an extra point on a hero kill with Rite of Worth but Orange matches the pace, having scored its own hero kill and laying down a fair bit of friendly fire. Yellow pulls up a close second, having consolidated its power base. Green pulls down third with a large expenditure on initiative while Hunters float in at fourth place, having spent the round making monsters. Blue coasts in at last place, that huge CP repository burning a hole in its pocket. This was a damn brutal round. Definitely one of the most brutal so far. Both a Tower Personality and a Non-Player Hero are dead.

Green lost its second hero and will need to create a new one to be born from one of the two remaining Stasis Chambers in the Level Three safezone.

Blue lost its starting hero and will need to decide which of its four remaining members will become the new hero. Default has the Medik becoming the new hero but the choice is yours. Tower Personalities are allowed.

Grey lost its newly minted hero and will need to choose which of its remaining members will become its new hero. Default has UtiliGrey becoming the new hero but the choice is yours. Tower Personalities are allowed.

As a reminder, if you need CP dumps, keep Tower Personality and Initiative Bidding in mind. Especially as we close in on the end here.

Holy - fecking - shit quantum.

Edge of my seat the entire turn, that was balls to the walls action, with three hero deaths in a single fucking turn? Sweet jaysus that's intense.

Orders will be on the way shortly, when I can think of the next load of kickass to follow this with.

It was a really fun turn. The rolls were pretty tense too. Little Jack, for example, died only because of the grinding damage he had already taken. Really close stuff all the way through. Interestingly worded orders too, so some good stuff there.

Keep in mind that Initiative bidding is per turn. So since Green was the only one to bid on Init last turn, he jumped the line to first. But Init bids reset to 0 at the start of each turn and you'll have to beat out other players to jockey for position.

Also keep in mind that bidding for Tower Personalities is the opposite. Those bids are cumulative and you have to bid higher than their current bid to steal them from another player as their loyalties become more entrenched.

Another clarification per request:

Equipment and Abilities on a dead character are Lootable from Eighteen til the end of ToJ. Abilities in this sense means things like SN Dice or Specialties. Boosts to the makeup of the character (Armor, Move, Skill) are non-transferable.

If a dead character revives, he keeps all the stuff still on him and retains all the abilities that haven't been stolen.

Live characters can run around and grab up anything a dead character has. That stuff can be immediately sold for its CP cost, if it has one. Some items and all corpses have no CP worth. Some Items must be sold if they are looted, while other items cannot be sold if they are looted. I'll let you know which is which when you send orders to loot. I'll also, obviously, let you know of any exceptions to any of this during orders.

While you can't sell corpses, you can sell living dudes. Sack one, he dies in a bloody mess, you get 4CP. Or you can pull a Scythe and sacrifice dudes to fuel heroic feats or somesuch other clever nonsense. The Warden is always willing to help facilitate your demise.
