The guards are obviously distracted by all the chaos going on, and they're not exactly paying attention to you, much to your good fortune. You unload your rifle at them, downing one in the hail of fire and wounding the other. However, he's still active, and withe no time to reload, you've got no choice but to close in and finish him off.

The Imp is still trying to scramble for his weapon when you do a full shoulder check into his chest, slamming him into the wall and making the whole thing rattle from the impact. You pull out one of your improvised shivs and jam it into his neck. You then toss the gurgling and twitching body aside and kick the door open. You see the large and portly police chief busily trying to cram papers into a briefcase when he looks up at you in shock.

You both look at each other awkwardly before he starts to reach for his pistol.

You hit, just barely. The chief takes the knife to the chest but it misses his heart.

Meanwhile, he fires off his pistol, and you suddenly feel a stinging sensation on your cheek. The chief is too shocked at the knife in his chest to continue firing, but that's a situation that could change very quickly.

However, even in his wounded state, the Chief has amazing quick reflexes. He sidesteps and the knife goes flying out the open window behind him. You silently mourn for the lost knife.

However, the Chief starts firing at you and you just barely manage to scramble back to cover, with a few new holes in your coat. Breathing heavily, you try to calm yourself down so you can figure out what to do next.

"Attention! All units! I'm under attack! Get over to my office and PROTECT ME!" You hear' the Chief's voice squeal over the station's intercom.

Now, you're not sure how many Imps are left alive in the station, but even one would be too much for you to handle at this stage.

Well.... you were hoping it wouldn't come to this, but it looks like you've got no choice. You kick down the door leading to the office adjacent to the Chief's, grab a chair, and toss it through the window.

That was the easy part.

Trying not to look down, you climb out of the window, standing on the perilously narrow ledge ringing the building. You've done this before, under more... discreet circumstances, but you never liked it.

Trying not to think about the drop below you, you take a deep breath and quickly slither your way across the wall towards the window leading to the Chief's office. Fortunately for you, the Chief is hunkered behind his desk and is concentrated on the door rather than the window. After all, who would be crazy enough to try and sneak in through the window on the second floor?

You quietly slip in and creep up to the chief like a predatory cat. By the time he hears your footfalls, it's too late. Your knife digs into the Chief's back and straight through his heart. He never even knew what hit him.

In order to make things hit closer to home, you decide to toss the Chief's body out the window. This is easier said than done, considering the Chief was rather "portly", and you were just fifteen years old. But you manage, and the Chief's body slips out the window and hits the pavement below with a loud SPLAT. You're rather satisfied with the ensuing screaming.

Unfortunately, you also hear heavy footsteps outside the office. Taking a peek in to the hallway, your stomach drops when you see four Imp police officers marching their way directly towards you, no doubt answering the now deceased Chief's summons.

>>25708435
You manage to safely reach the other office, breathing a sigh of relief having narrowly escaped certain death. Then you remember that you left behind that briefcase of obviously important documents.

"Stupid Tarin!" You scold yourself for making such a rookie mistake. You're better than that!

Fortunately, you can still hear the officers in the other room. They're obviously confused that the Chief isn't there.

"Where the fuck is the Chief?"

"I dunno!"

"Oh shit! He fell out the window!"

"What the-"

"You three! Go check him out! I'll secure the office!"

Peeking out the door, you see three officers dash out the hallway towards the stairs. Peeking into the Chief's office, you can see the briefcase, right there. You can just walk in and snatch it. No harm no fuss.

But... but that Imp is just standing at the window, still looking out at the Chief's body. It's just soooooo tempting....

However tempted you are, you still feel a twinge of pity. You're not THAT heartless. That and pushing him out the window might just draw more unnecessary attention. You silently sneak in, grab the briefcase, and dash out.

At this point, half the station is on fire, and you can see dead Imp police officers littering the floors. You quickly make your escape, linking up with the rest of the partisans. You see your father is there too, much to your relief.

"Tarin!" You father smiles. "I'm so glad to see you safe!"

No matter what, he'll always be your Dad first and leader second. You run up and hug him as tight as you can.

"Whoa, hey, Tarin, not in front of the men, it makes me look bad!" Your father laughs. "Okay, let's get out of here!"

With that, the partisans all pile into various disguised trucks, which then disperse throughout the city, making it impossible for the authorities to track you all down. They'll eventually link back up at a rendezvous point well outside the city.

"You did a good job out there, Tarin." You father smiles after hearing you tell your exploits in the station. "Chief Warstrom was one of the crueler Darcsen haters out there. One less to plague us."

"So, what now, Dad?" You say, eager for your next assignment.

Your father then frowns, which is never a good sign.

"There won't be another assignment. Not for you."

You blink. "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"I wanted to do this years ago, but I never had the chance to." Your father reaches into the briefcase and pulls out a stack of papers. You realize that they were passports.

"These things are the real deal. We had a sympathizer print these out for us, but the Chief confiscated them. They're travel papers to Gallia."

"But... why would the Chief..."

"Darcens aren't the only people who want to escape the Empire." Your father says sadly. "Genuine travel papers like these would cost a fortune on the black market."

"Then why don't you come-"

"I can't, Tarin. There's not enough of these for everybody in our group, and I can't just leave them here to fend for themselves." Your father shoves the paper into your hand. "This truck has all of our women and children in it. That way we can fight knowing our loved ones are safe. It's going all the way to Gallia."

"But-" You whimper.

"No buts. You've grown up so fast, Tarin, and that's what hurts me the most." You father sighs. "You've got a chance in Gallia. A chance for a normal life."

"I'm sorry, Tarin, I didn't want to do this." You father says, taking a deep breath. "As both your father and your superior, I ORDER you stay in this truck until it reaches Gallia. If you disobey, I'll have you tied up. Is that clear."

You bite you lip and try to hold back your tears. It's obvious your father isn't enjoying having to say these words, either.

"Understood." You capitulate.

"I'm sorry, Tarin. We'll meet again. I promise."

Suddenly, you hear a banging noise. You realize it's the driver pounding on the partition between the driver and passenger compartment.

"That's my cue." You father says, giving you one last hug. "Be brave for me, will you? Make sure this truck gets across the border safe. It's up to you to protect them."

"I got it, Dad."

"Until we meet again."

"Yeah, see you soon, Dad."

With that, your father leaps out he back of the truck and waves sadly. You return the wave as he reluctantly closes the door. And soon you're off to Gallia, whatever that is...

>And that's Tarin's chapter! Now back to the main story!

You are JAGER STURMFUHRER, leader of the fledgling mercenary company DEMONS OF RANDGRIZ. In addition to fighting Imps for money and vengeance, you have your own private mission to hunt down Karla, your former fiance who sided with the Imperials and destroyed your home.

You first arrived in the Federation nation of Albion to help defend it against a possible amphibious attack. However, your boots barely hit the deck before you were assigned a mission to break up a spy ring. However, through a chain of extraordinary events, you not only smashed the spy ring apart, but also managed to capture an Imperial u-boat (mostly) intact, and figh off an Imperial amphibious invasion by defeating their leader, Belkan Knight Sir Fleisher.

You've decided that it's now time to move on to greener (or at least more profitable) pastures. You and the Demons left Albion for the besieged nation of Ustio.

Your first mission went well enough, routing a platoon of Imperial soldiers threatening the city of Valais' supply lines. Then you destroyed an Imperial superheavy artillery battery, taking pressure off the city's beleaguered defenders and giving them a chance to counterattack. You also took care of a personal mission for Qyburn, and in return, he's given you a new and powerful (if only experimental) weapon! You also captured an Imperial sniper who you convinced to join your cause. You then managed to defeat the Indigo Heron, the Belkan Knight leading the Imperial forces in Ustio (well, technically, it was Isolde who defeated him, but the CO still gets credit!).

You then celebrated The Feast of All Saints, giving everybody some presents to strengthen your bonds with them. On that note, Sam now has a puppy she named Wotjek, who you're sure is going to grow up into a beast someday.

Currently, you're sitting bored on top of the Vergeltung's observation deck as you're flanked by a pair of Gallian destroyers. Your initial travel plan was to dock in Anthold so you could go visit Lanseal, Unfortunately, you were stopped by a Gallian Navy blockade, who then directed you to go north, all the way to Marberry, Gallia's northernmost port.

That... doesn't bode well at all.

You've tried asking the Gallian ships what exactly was going on, but neither of them has answered your requests.

Well, that's what you've got a spy for, right?

"Elizabeth, is your investigation done, yet?" You ask.

"Shit." You scowl. "What about Lanseal?"

"I don't know how to put this, Captain, but Lanseal was hit." Elizabeth sighs. "It's still active, but no word on casualties or extent of damage. All secure lines of communication got cut off after Randgriz was taken."

>>Elizabeth, keep this a secret between us, okay? I don't want to break the news while we're still at sea.

I don't think the rumors really has hit quite yet.

Looks like I should really play the game more as I don't recall the rebels making it THAT far.

>>25709883
>We're going to have to tell everybody. The rumors are already flying around

>>25710030
things haven't gotten that serious yet.

>>25710030
No.

Every time we've failed a roll we've always came back with a better roll the next action. On top of that, I find failing here and there leads to a better story over 'WIN ALL THE TIME.'

>>25709977
They actually got that far, then the Lanseal cadet start making a comeback starting with Anthold iirc

>>25710043
I was thinking that too. A little... thick maybe?

>>25710030

Honestly I'm saving my vote til Karla vs jager.

>>25710043
>>25710081
Yeah, I was thinking that... Perspective in motion is one of my many weaknesses. Practise makes improvement, at least!

>>25710100
you know, last time we saw here, the villain speak kind of gave off some bad vibes. I'd like to see the two together, but I'm starting to have doubts...

>>25710030

Re-rolls are both very... um... small? Direct?

You only get to reroll one action, and there's no certainty that it'll succeed.

So re-rolls both seem to be very precious, because of how rare they are, but they also seem kind of... underwhelming. And limited in what they can do. It's 1 reroll. No guarantee.


If they worked more like Fate points, that might be more exciting.

>>25710126
>I'd like to see the two together
Why? I mean really, why? She had Jagar parents killed. In what world does someone get over that?

>>25710167
eh, shipping tendencies. Not all of them make sense.

>>25710133
leave rerolls for critical event flag and/or botch

>>25710126
We are a guy whose name sounds like a villain out of a WWII-era Captain America comic, who leads an army of Demons, wandering the battlefields of Europa killing for blood money. We rock traditional villainous symbolism like it's going out of style, a little villainspeak is fitting for one of our possible love interests.

>>25710167

I suppose it depends on how much one likes their parents I guess. I know plenty of people that would have a drink with the person afterwards.

>>25710187

Yeah, I know.

They're much sexier if we use them to re-roll a natural 1 at a critical moment. But still...

Oh god, you included the cat ears, too!

But yeah, I agree that the legs look kinda wonky.

>>25709883
"I guess we're going to have to tell everybody about this." You sigh. "The rumors are already starting to spread, and there's nothing worse to morale than rampant rumormongering."

"That's true." Elizabeth nods. "It's always a commander responsibility to not only give good news, but the bad as well."

"Yeah, just don't tell anybody about it before I do, okay?"

"Sure thing. Just to let you know, we're all worried about Artya and Matt as well. You and Sam aren't alone in this."

"Thanks."

You reluctantly make your way down into the depths of the Vergeltung. You suppose you should break the news to Sam first, in private. The last thing you need is to have her break down in public. Officers always have to put up a strong front, after all.

You find Sam in her office, busy trying to train Wojtek. He's already managed to learn a few basic commands, but Sam, being the perfectionist that she is, isn't satisfied until the little puppy can literally understand every word in the dictionary.

"Oh, hey Cap!" Sam says happily as you enter. "Just teaching Wojtek how to shake. See?"

Wojtek then raises his little paw in the air, prompting you to shake it.

"Good boy!" Sam cooes, giving Wojtek a treat to nibble on.

Seeing her so happy like this... it makes you feel really bad that you're going to ruin everything for her.

Got to do it. But doesn't mean we have to punch her in the gut with it.

It's like ripping off a bandaid guys. Dragging it out just makes it hurt more.

>>25710232

We're mercenaries, professional soldier, and we have already foreseen things taking turn for the worse in the civil war, this just move our schedule. Get ready to tell the demons that christmas just got cancelled

You decide to take it slow, not wanting to punch Sam in the emotional gut right away.

"So... I just managed to find out why we got rerouted from Anthold." You say in your best casual voice. "It looks like the GRA's been gaining ground."

"Yeah, but there's plenty of ports between Anthold and Marberry that we could use. Why would.... oh crap." Sam blinks at the realization. "How far did they get?"

"Randgriz. They even got Archduchess Cordelia hostage."

"Shit. Dad's going to be pissed." Sam shakes her head. "I suppose he's lucky he got transferred to Ghirlandio to oversee its reconstruction."

"Yeah, that's where I heard the government and military HQ got transferred to after Randgriz fell."

"Well, I guess he got what he wanted." She sighs. "A chance to prove himself as a general."

"There's also something else..." You sigh, preparing for the massive storm that was rolling in. "Lanseal was attacked."

You see Sam just freeze in place, like she was suddenly turned into a statue. Wojtek also feels the change in mood and whimpers in sympathy.

"H-ha ha, that's f-funny Cap, you can stop joking now!" Sam laughs awkwardly, her denial kicking in at full force.

Just hug her. Shit, this is gonna suck.

>>25710700

>>25710735

Second.

Then proceed to assure her our next set of orders will include "Drive on Lanseal" and there are orders are orders.

>>25710700
>Let her know that you are dead fucking serious.

"Do you think I'd joke around with something like that? Prepare to mobilize"

>Let her know that you are dead fucking serious.
>For all we know, Lanseal might have repelled the invasion due to Artya alone, have faith.

>other - "I wish I were joking, but no..."

>>Let her know that you are dead fucking serious.

The only problem that we have with moving on Lanseal is that there's no one paying us for this job. Don't think the other Demons will go pro-bono. Not all of them are Gallian.

>>25710836

I like this.

"I wouldn't joke about this, Sam."

>>25710852
Some level of patriotism on most of the squad, and freeing sovereign from imprisonment tend to get you all sort of reward.

>>25710900

That and we have spare cash. Enough to last 2-3 missions.

>>25710919
wait, how much cash, exactly?

>>25710927

From the pastebin:

CURRENT TREASURY: 4050 credits
CURRENT UPKEEP COSTS: 2160 credits per mission

>>25710927
Ever heard the phrase "King's ransom"?

>>25710949
Uh.... wrong thread right?

>>25710949
Wat

>>25710949
You missed the thread by a bit.

>>25710955

Oh hell. our upkeep went up more then I thought.

>>25710984
You know I've been trying to get people not to spend all the money at once but...

>>25710984
NOW DO YOU GET WHY YOU DON"T PISS AWAY ALL THE MONEY ON GEAR?

>>25711013
You're not the only one. It's a miracle we were able to curb /tg/'s spending for this long. The last shopping choices we had, most players wanted to outright use up all our creds in one go.

>>25710984
Yeah... submarine might cost some money to maintain.

>>25710984
Like I said, no one is paying us for this.

>>25711061
True, but what coffers does the GRA have? The Gassenarls are influential, they should have a bunch of loot.

>>25711033
Yeah, I was there asking "what the fuck' during that. If one thing I've learn with /tg/ in quest is that no one (or at least most of the players) seem to have no forethought.

>>25710984
We just went all Santa on their asses, and this job is gonna be fueled by a shitton of thing ranging from personal connection to Artya/Matt, anti-GRA sentiment, and/or just sense of patriotism to the motherland, plus the GRA army are nobility funded, there'd be sufficient loot and salvage if it comes to that

>>25711087
The Gassenarls are getting Fed support, remember?

>>25711092
>there'd be sufficient loot and salvage
Lets not count on that at all. Remember last time you people were loot happy?

>>25711059
The sub doesn't have any upkeep.

Next time, just pick the best two out of the upgrades we can buy. Or if it's particularly expensive, just pick that one.

Unless we manage to raid some noble's coffers for a fuckton of jewgold, I don't see us paying our upkeep for more than two battles without income.

>>25711116
Federation equipment going into the armoury then!

>>25710700
You harden your expression, letting her know that the time for jokes has long been over, and that you are dead fucking serious about what you're saying.

"Sam. Lanseal got hit. We don't know how bad, but we know it's still standing." You say simply. "There's a good chance Artya and Matt got out of it fine."

"No... nononononono!" Sam clutches her head, obviously on the verge of losing it. "Can't lose Matt, not again, not again-!"

This is not good. You've got to snap her out of it.

>Slap her.
>Hug her.

>>25711116
And that's ANOTHER thing, we show up and piss on a plan cooked up by a bunch of high-up Federation people...contracts will dry up a LOT.

Assuming we're done in Ustio, we'll make with all best speed for Lanseal if possible.

I'd say slap but we aren't bright noa and she's not a newtype.

>>25711146
>Hug her then slap her then hug her again.
The ensuing confusion in her head is sure to snap her out of it.

>>25711148
But if we send news to the Federation news networks, let's just say the citizens will be surprised that their government is funding a civil war.

And in the bluntest most ordery tone of voice we can. "Get it together Sam, I need you to keep your head on straight. I need you for this and I can't have you lose it or jump to conclusions like this."

>>25711146
>>Hug her.

"I heard of Matt from you Sam. He won't die from just this. Have faith in your brother."

>>25711225
Bad idea. The last thing Gallia needs is to get tangled up even more in Fed politics. That's the worst thing that could happen, with the Imps looking for another chance to invade.

>>Hug her.
Hug it out

>>25711225
>But if we send news to the Federation news networks, let's just say the citizens will be surprised that their government is funding a civil war.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen. There's going to be gag orders, 'offical' stories, and the big boys will send the word down the ranks that the Demons are NOT to be hired or worse, that we're Imp sympathizers. Doesn't matter what the truth is. These are people who can make lives very very difficult as long as they stay hidden in the shadows behind their big desks.

Right now, we're a solution. They also consider the GRA to be a solution to the Gallia problem. If we become a problem for them, then they'll make OUR lives VERY unpleasant, and they're the ones who pay the people who pay US.

>>25711353
I'm going to have to agree to disagree with you in my experience when someone is losing their shit a kick to the dick or in this case a bright slap tends to snap them back to rational thinking real quick.

>>25711353
Seconded

>>25711384
Even if our contract ran dry, if we get Cordelia out, we can be her personal spec-ops, god knows Gallia has a shitton of problems that need taken care of, and government job always pays

>Hug her.

>>25711146
>>Slap her.

>>25711409

Agreed normally. But very situation based. Most of the time that works in my experience is with stress that builds up over time. This is more emotional where it has a much higher chance of backfiring we need her to get it out emotionally now. But yeah agree to disagree.

>>25711146
You hug Sam as tight as you can, in an effort to reassure her. Sure, you normally wouldn't do this in the military, but you weren't in the military, so you don't give a damn about all that regulation bullshit.

"Sam, get your head straight. Matt was with Artya, and we both know what kind of survivor she is. We need to hit the ground running, and collect up our own. We need to be strong"

"A-alright." Sam tries to stem the tears. "I don't want to lose another brother, Cap! Never again!"

"I know." You say reassuringly. "The GRA will burn. I'll make sure of it."
