So who are you to be here, weatherworn and dusty? A traveller, a tinker, a tradesman, a troubador, a tourist or perhaps a mere mysterious stranger roving outlands and outposts for specks of news? And if not a mysterious wanderer or traveller, maybe a sandblown seeker with a secret of their own? Plundered scraps of knowledge from old ruins, artefacts and pieces hidden in pockets deep.

Well; we all have our little quirks. Something just yours away from the prying eyes of the world is a fine thing to have.

Job pays the same, friend, the beans taste the same friend, and the hounds howl the same, friend.

This leviathan sea of ours have seen its fair shared of enigmatic endings and aborted tendrils of fate. Sometimes you find the scars of them, malingering.

You've stuck with us this far. From here on, remember: the journey grows fraught. This is Bonejacker lands; if the rumours tell true. The burden we carry must reach the wider world. We promised, remember? The Map, the treasure, one last score. If only the captain could see our battered company now; haggard and ill-fit for purpose. We'd strain to put up a fight!

Should it come to violence let us hope we can count on you and yours. Don't fret so, friend. Worried? Excited? Nervous? Predatory? Ah. Sorry. The campfire asks few questions. Perhaps I should emulate it. Word of advice, friend?

Keep your sidearm close by night-wise. I hear scuttling on the rock and whispers in the dark.

> You start as a Wanderer, but you'll end somewhere else. When finding yourself, roll 2d100 for a little trick and some nudges towards a certain path. Most of the things out there are visible here, but don't worry about finding out everything just yet.

> If you're some kind of dead-hard, sun-scorched traveller soul, you're welcome to *try* and pick one of these classes rather than the starting wanderer.

>Either

>Fate's Odd Wind: Roll 3d51 and pick one of Fate's allotment, scoring 2 of its talents, all its intents, and any gear and secrets.

>Well Worn Traveller Soul: Pick. And roll 1d100 to accrue a Storied complication, a little drawback from your prior life.

Maybe something like this, if you're a stickler sort for the written word. Unless things change, the important stuff to keep is your name and your things, held in hand. There's scant need to continually remind the world who you are. We know.

The oblique pressure of variety and the gentle push of topsoil being shoved aside by new darling growths.

Questions, friend, is will multiply like weeds. If you are not a ironsoul, diamond minded kind of wanderer, perhaps try something less curious initially and work from there until you gleam an understanding of the winds out here.

As you ask... Step closer, listen:

Soilsouls and greenhearts and root fingers and all those other derogatory terms for the people that make the world work. Without agriculture, we all die. So it is.

A Wright knows plant lore and herb-thought and soil sorting, the dangers of phosphate enrichment and the impetus of phototaxis.

You use Soilsoul to interact with living organic plant material, allowing you to sense it, harm with it, create with it, solve problems with it and manipulate it (and other such tricks).

With your green fingers your hits are multiplied when you want things to burst into profligate verdancy. Hits to make things grow is doubled; crits are grander still. Your seed pouch or the world around you will be useful. But so will wooden materials, damaged gear and such-like.

Sunsoaked is what the world is. Spend 6 Al to recover 1 per lit tile around you; for a further 1 AL you can share this effect with a target you can touch.

Roots Entwined is how the world works. If you're standing on a tile, you can attempt to influence similar connected tiles. This means you could then use green fingers or sunsoaked or soilsoul at distance, on larger targets, around walls if there is a path. The world isn't too finnicky about this, but do note that extreme distances accrue penalties. If you have a doubt, try to simply go for a colour match of the tile/soil

Finally, enliven makes the world blossom. Biomass can be helpfully converted to useful boons. Perhaps that pile of dead leaves make a better shield than lawn ornament? Perhaps you want to use green fingers to flash-bloom a thorny thicket and within easy reach is four dead men... Normally you are limited to energy and ingredients you carry. Enliven lends you a touch of power from the world. This is usually equal to your Attune (being how much you can attune to the world, see) but specifically large accumulations of ready material might be more.

--

The basics remain the same; you use your Secret of Soilsoul to roll alacrity d100 + secret d100 to attempt to do things, with the base output usually set by your Intentions. Your Talents allow you to some width and breath.

Is that a mirage? A phantom? Something skulks from rock to bush, flittering, sneaking. Bits of noise strangled with cloth and muffled with care.

The lantern's light flares as the drone begins its work, thermal lance burning. The rocks here are stacked strangely. The wind flows in twisted patterns.

The ground is too regular. The bushes too tended. A grove of medical trees and edible legion moss. What a mystery. Is this a cross-roads or a village?

A finnicky firewritten rune embellished in a bullet; a dangerous surcharge to add to any combustible mechanism. The leadbelcher spits its payload and a rock sends a rain of fiery fragments scattering around the area as a hithertho hidden sneaker sticks their head up above the cover offered.

A lantern's teal spark-light and a pair of keen eyes reveal a winding cut out tunnel dvelving into the dark! What mysterious await us in here?

Some shadows against a high ride slide in among rocks, fondling weapons...

And someone takes a bad fall! Aw!

What a strange little thing that clings to you, friend...

Playful Shadow (Trait)
Your shadow has material form and corporeal capacity; it can stretch and interact in the world around you up to [sense] distance. While it can't hold objects, it can hold the shadow of objects which are a certain kind of almost real and manipulate the shadow of things. Which may have material consequences.

Long Dark Scarf (gear)
Fashionable! And it casts a long shadow, adding +1 reach to yours!

>>4197839
But it was already finished. What a newly polished sheen. What a stoic light. What a strange spark pulse that flows through the metal. The inner flame? A curious collection of liquid crystals.

Sparklight Lantern, 1radius or 3beam, power 2.
[charges] 4, add +1 power or range for a charge.

Sharp quick shots ring out, little metal messengers bringing a sting of biting pain to the recipient on the far end. One drops, clutching a sudden tear in a vital part of their skull. The other three fierce looking sneakers lock up and go to the ground. The air is full of death out here! Yikes!

A spark flares into being somewhere else and although the bandit ducks out of the way, Veracity, wisely disengaging, leaves behind an adolescent wildfire.

Soli engages in the high art of Diplomacy. Looks like they're we're the trespassers!

A new arrival helps score a telling hit against a half-burnt foe, but the quick thrust across the rocks is twarted by a deft duck.

How do I tell how much fatigue I have?Normally I'd think I just write it down but wasn't I also able to recover in sunlight? Also how would fatigue balance work with greater than 1 resist? Would I just be able to fatigue 1 then recover 2 if I had resist 2?

>>4198957
You'd be able to regain one fatigue with one Resist, but two fatigue per Al with 2 resist and further on still. Good lungs, that. Of course on any turn you recover you can't also spend. Benefits of Hidden Reserves.

But worry not: the universe keep tracks of all that thing. You're welcome to note it yourself (this is preferred), but any incoming horror is also note near your name with a little floating number. Blue is fatigue! You took one when that ruffian bonked you over the head with their bow, and you spent 4 on your turn. A little graphical glitch is hiding the 4, but don't worry, we're keeping track of it.

That's also how damage appears to others; that bandit by the rock you hit took 3 fatiguing stun damage and a headache besides.

As for recovering in sunlight, that's the joy of a kinship with plants. You don't need to bleed, you have some innate protection and indeed, in sunlight (any lit tile, mostly), you can regain your Resist fatigue for free each turn. Just need to note it.

So; quickly:

You spent 4, you got hit for 1, you have 5 fatigue in total.

we'll assume you want to recover, so on your turn when the world notes your actions we'll slide that in there as well, and you'll recover 2 fatigue from your Barkheart for free.

The well-worn ruins are threaded through with footfalls and the detritus of a live. A smoke hangs in the air inside the caves. But it's hot and humid here; something has torn through with great violence. Scorch marks on the walls and the sting of acrid ash on the draft that rolls out as our eyes adjust the burn of the sparklight lantern.

Our friends follow us in diplomatic reverence and as we round a corner, beep a declaration at their majority engaged in democratic consensus making over the fair distribution of available biomass materials. The debate is spark-quick in a flurry of signal fire, and as it goes on, our lantern-light falls on the dull-sheen shine of something else. A much, much grander Hatch drone, re-assembled from the available matter and mass of a hundred little feasts. No democrat lupine this; it's a solipsistic god-king and our honour guard of drones beep in declarative pre-empted surrender to its signal born supremacy.

The area looks stripped of ready materials. But over there, in the back, a cache...

--

Bullets and blows and batons flash! A gaggle of bandits decide the better part of valour is not being shot by dead-eye fighters and sprint for it. Veracity twists and flicks an arcing spray of fire on a poor fighter stumbling back from the dervish whirl knifeplay of a masked stranger.

And then we find ourselves... alone! Adrenaline fuelled hearts fighting with the curious emptiness around us; it looks like we've... beaten off a small party of scrag bandits. A victory! But wait; beneath the soft popping sounds of legion-moss cooking off in remnant heat, a soft whine on the high winds picking up speed. Something grinds on rock. The shadows lengthen with the approach of violence. This probing scout party may have been just that; a little foray to test our willingness to inflict violence. Gather around, friends! Shelter in the rocks, check your guns, catch your breath.

They can't have our prize. The Governor awaits in his little nest of bureaucratic power on the shore. The Map must reach him and his. If we have to put a few dust-mad bandits in the ground to get it there, so we will.

It's always a boon to be able to barter. Some broken bodies are traded for a moment of patience and a thought-sharp blade pulled from a rack out of sight.

--

The cerebovorando begin the shuffling process of accepting their trade too, the backdrop of breaking bones following their slow advance. What a curious viscera stained tree. Unfortunately, they also take the weapons belonging to these fallen men so we have scant scavenge but a few bits and a bow. And... a meal.

---

A little shift in the wind and there. There, the proper party, a group of well-armed men backed up by focused avarice. The Bonejackers. Two of them wear heavy armour, unbearabe in the hot weather, and some others clutch improvised shields and sharp blades.

---

It would be too much the telling to share the long travail that brought us all here, together, but live through the day and some light can be shed. The Map we have, it matters. Don't let them have it. Perhaps it is a large shift to make travelling companions into hired muscle. Forgive us the imposition.

Twin shots ring out but find no purchases as the targets duck and weave and sprint; arrows thud in outmatched counter-fire and a heavy hammer blow strikes home while a fell storm of other blows are avoided.

Good grand wrack and woe, someone's trying to kill you!

harming and hurting people usually results in consequences. Weapons and tools deal a type of damage (usually called the "effect"). It's either dependent on your capabilities or the weapon itself. A leadbelcher fires shots that strike for 1d10+hits, but a knife is usually wielded with a base effect of your Harm, modified by the knife itself. Being stronger and meaner doesn't make a bullet bite harder but aiming better might. The lead trade produces a surplus of corpses. But most things can harm someone else, so don't be shy about it. If you've got nothing at all at hand, try your hands. That's just a roll with alacrity, but it is useful to be able to toss people around or throw them in a grapple or grab their weapons.

When you land a blow, you deliver a certain amount of effect. Let's say someone cracked your skull with a blunt sword. Dependent on your Resist, there could be some further consequences. Our man Argo serves as a fine case study. He got hit for 6 pain, and with 1 Resist, had 5 floating potential that manifested in a further 2 fatigue. That's overflow, the little further oomph to being introduced to the bad end of a cudgel.

conditions
Tracks who you are and how you are. Past your Limits, they are usually problematic. Sometimes pushing past your Limit is helpful however; if you can scrounge the Inspiration, the Focus or the Glory it might push you into whole new realms of possibility.

For now, have a listen:

Fatigue slows you down. Every point past your limit reduces your general tohit ratio and gives you 1% Misfortune. Fatigue overflows into lost alacrity, stun, stagger and stumbles. Light damage, brief contact, shock and all kinds of effort result in fatigue.

Pain is orange and is the most common consequence of someone trying to murder you; blows that glance, weapons that strike, shots your armour deflects. Pain overflows into fatigue, wounds proper, stagger and problems. Pain, on its own increases the tohit of someone trying to hit you physically. It's hard to defend yourself when everything is blurry!

Wounds is your meeting with death coming rapidly closer. At two times your limit, you cease to be Alive! Once it hits your limit, you're merely incapacitated. Wounds often overflow into bleeding or maiming. You'd think Wounds would be the primary consequence of weapons hitting you, but fatigue and pain is usually the first thing that happens and then out and out lethality is a close-by second effect. It depends on your gear.

Anything worth owning is worth stealing

Weapons and tools and items have qualities.

Special ratings are written as %, and trigger on any d100 less than that number when the item is being used. So a knife with 7% cut that you swing at someone with 10d100 has a 7% per dice to also hit for 1 bleed. Your clothes give you 5% dodge, which means any dice dedicated to getting out of the way have that little further chance of dodging more.

Qualities are the kind of thing a tool or weapon is. They're usually self evident; knives are Sharp and so they inflict pain and wounds and bleeding. clubs and cudgel and batons are Blunt and deal fatigue and pain. Guns are Lethal and deal Wounds first, then anything else second. Most qualities can be assumed, but feel free to ask or investigate your gear.

Sometimes you find things that are interesting however. When that happens, the quality might be a little more curious. A Lantern that can shine a beam of light or a boost kit that has boosting capability...

Look on the bright side. Given your innate resistances, it's a damn sight lot of chopping to get you to that limit. You're still technically alive, but you're less likely to end up unconscious from pain.

So yes, friend, you "die" faster, but because you can't bleed, have resistance to damage, and shrug off more pain than most other things, you're more resilient than the fleshy folk.

The weary traveller hates sand; it's coarse, rough and gets everywhere. A brawler goes down from a spark of fire and a collection of clustered shots, as a Breaker is held firm by the shining light of truth and unable to advance. And that's when I had to step in myself - imagine it, friend! - to save the vulnerable flank of a friend from a piercing stab.

--

Arrows rain on the party as the bandits begin to find their range. Stay among the rocks and remember to keep your head low if you want to avoid sprouting feathers, friend!

--

Daniel is forcefully asked to leave the cave. A pair of telescoping red eyes follow the arc of his flight outwards. The Lupine has a sample of his essence now. Run, friend.

Run.

You may sprint far enough to make proper funeral arrangement now that the hunt-seek mode has been locked in.

--

Neto prepares enough spare vials of sapburn to deplete the campfire. What a score, friend! 5 vials of Sapburn, all in orange glowing lines on your bandolier. A bounty to be handed out to those with hands and pockets to appreciate a fiery pick-me-up!

In a hurricane of stone fragments and screaming rocks, the Lupine Hatch breaks from the cave. It lands steel-paws first on the ground, digging furrows as its hind-section re-orients. A breaker shouts in dire alarm and swings his maul in self-defence; the hollow ring off of the lupine drone shell is the last thing he hears before a blink-quick claw punches through his trachea.

PLEASE RUN. IT MAKES YOUR CONSTITUENTS MORE TENDER.

Our chemicae prepares an improvised bandage and potion for a bleeding man who grasps an old sword from the ground with an arm he does not have and sprints towards battle! The rank of smell of sap and burning accelerants stain the ground as bullets spark off of the hide of the Lupine Hatch...

File: Forest ambush 12.png (4.11 MB, 2520x2520)

4.11 MB PNG

Our Knight Errant drops like a hammer as a spark-light beam of light overloads the sensors of the Lupine, providing a momentary gap in its impressive defences. Layers of reflex actions and a database of killing technique are shredded for just long enough.

Daniel lands on the beast and swings an old sword in an arc! A lantern sails through the air, a smoking ruin drinking in warm sun-light and the haze of march-fires. It lands. The sword strikes home to the sound of a wounded electronic beast, mesh-pain radiating from a killing blow.

The lantern cracks, oil spills as the fire rune ignites it - and it carries the vials of sapburn with it in a woosh. Flickers of flame alight on the Lupine, on Daniel, on nearby bushes. The innards of the Wolf are combustible, a volatile chemical ichor refined and distilled to lend it strength to keep to its ancient duty. Grasped by the flame tendrils they alight, detonating reservoirs.

With a shuddering machine-gun fire of bullets cooking off, Daniel rides a flaming wolf into the life after this one...

File: Forest ambush 13.png (4.04 MB, 2520x2520)

A quiet hush falls to the sound of a campfire; whining electronic howls of a dying beast rolling off of the cliffs.

A Lupine Hatch, destroyed. Not bad work. Their kind prowl the Leviathan Sea, slaved to some ancient command. There is a rumour that a man once ran a thousand miles to escape and then, at the end, footsore and soulworn, saw his hunter coming to meet him from the direction he had been running in. There is a story that a scouting party of Pytherii pathfinders once had a running battle with pack of Hatch Lupines; they call the nine hundred meter stretch of cratered, blasted earth the Pathfinder Painting. There's a tollbooth there now. You can pay to see the chewed boots pulled from churned up mud.

This Lupine was young. PPerhaps wounded from prior fight the bandits. If anyone believes our tale we are guaranteed drinks in every resting place from here to Tovosto mountains.

Well done, wanderers! And not half bad work besides with the bandits either. Grab a rest. Grab some shade. Let your fatigue lessen, see to your pain.

--

==camp phase==
Fatigue reset
Pain reset

If you're wounded (red) you're still wounded. But nary a soul is! We've all made it through the day and with no damage besides.

We'll be mustering up and leaving this place snap-ish, but you're welcome to search the area and perform your usual scavenging actions.

Note that the detonation collapsed the entrance to the Hatch Drone lair.

==camp phase==

For doing things and interacting, don't worry about the movement cost of getting somewhere you can reach by walking. Tools and skills can be used to fashion material and besides, now is a fine chance to organise your pockets. Perhaps trade or barter or share.

For rations, we are well sorted, so if someone will volunteer to make the food we should be quite well-fed. Perhaps someone would like to see about giving our friend Daniel his funeral rites? The spot deserves a marker of some kind.

Anyone can tally up every turn in which they took an action and earn themselves 1 memory for that. Memories are the currency for buying and learning new Secrets and Talents. There aren't that many trainers or opportunities out here, but you're free to teach each other (either someone shows and pays for someone else to learn, or someone observes and learns).

Alternatively if you have access to gear you can practice with that and earn a skill that way - so with a pistol, one could practice pistoleering or with a knife, some knifing.

The cost is equal to the rank you're buying. So it's only 1 memory to get the basics of knifework at rank 1, but it's 2 memories to get better at rank 2 and 3 to get the fine points at rank 3, and then at that point you've spent 6 memories in total.

What about Talents, you ask? Many classes have them, or offer them. For every Talent you have, you pay twice that many memories to learn a new one. This is where we inform you of a little truth, friend: neither alive! nor secret soul are really talents. They're just who you are. Everyone should start with 2 talents, and then you pay from there; so your next one will be 6 memories (eg: you now have 3 talents in total, 6 memories), then 8 (4 talents in total, 8 memories) then 10, so on.

Finally, the Lost Sword of a True Knight being sent off in one last stand against overwhelming odds in an effort to slay a Beast Most Foul and so render Peace At Last to our Glorious Realm is worth a point of Inspiration to everyone who witnessed it. For what is a true knight's calling if not a valiant last stand against dire foes to protect the innocent?

Inspiration lets you to feel a Sudden Spark Of Inspiration. Your sudden insight can broaden your perspective and allow you to gleam some tricks from a different skill-set as you realise all the things you could be doing!

Roll 1d51 and look up the class grid >>4195834 then pick one talent from that class. Don't like it? Let the inspiration fade for now, try again later, hold on to your Inspiration until another camp-phase. They make fine barter too, everyone's always interested in worthwhile stories out there.

If you do learn a talent from another class, you're now both those classes and can learn their talents, secrets and such-like without having to glean it from anyone else. Neat little ways of learning how to think new thoughts. If sheer arbitrary random whim isn't your kind of style, you can direct your inspiration by trading in a point of Intent. You force yourself into a specific box, but that kind of thing is at least predictable.

You can also advance Intents, but that will require Inspiration equal to the new rank (So to go from React 1 to React 2, you need 2 Inspiration)

Psst, softsoul, lean in close. . .

The world out here also thinks in terms of memory and inspiration. It may seem like all this is awfully random, friend, but keep in mind that if you have Kinematics 3, that's equal to having 6 memories in Kinematics. You can trade that too. Sometimes, you might want to forget the entire thing and freeing up 6 memory to learn something else. Memory past your Limit converts to a point of Inspiration, so if you were overburdened with knowledge of University Lectures 7, you would have 28 memory there you could break into different things. Perhaps University Lectures 5 is more your keen, with 13 memories re-directed to other purposes? The same goes for Talents; so your 3rd talent is worth 6 memories. Maybe you find yourself wandering a different path, unsure this is what you wanted. It's possible to learn other things with some time to reflect.

The only catch is that this kind of thing takes a while and you can't un-learn Intentions nor un-spend Inspiration.

it's mostly for Parkour, wanderer, allowing you to deftly duck and twist. You can use it to dodge too, and sometimes, to jump and sprint. But then if you do that, it's actually rolled and it's a little unpredictable

>Kinematics: sprint east [3]
If you got 2 hits, you'd move 2.

>>4210049
Sorry friend, no one here is a cutter and so no one can teach you. I apologise. If you'd like, you could become a cutter if you spent your Inspiration and threw in a point of your Intent. You have Resistance and Harm to spare, after all!

Ah, interesting Lantern-Friend. We have a special little gift for you for being inspired in your chosen path.

The bandits don't seem to have too much that weren't taken, but you can find:

4 arrows (10% puncture)
A Scragbow, which shoots sense+2
and 7 bits.

A way to carry your lantern at your belt is actually provided by the lantern itself; it has a little hook you can cunningly attach. Supposing one wanted to free ones hands to wield BIG things. It's what the bandits were doing too.

>>4209851
Alas, Argo, the Grand Legion of Pyther has many supply depots, a plethora of quartermasters and a myriad mini-legion of suppliers. And not a single one of them is out here to give you the stuff you need. You can find it, and knowing what to ask for when we find a trader, will allow you to get it. For now, not quite.

As for what they do, it's rather straight forward. As the finest fighting force in the world (in an internal poll) the Legion specialises in heavy infantry formations.

Imperial Vanguard makes any block worth 1 AL. Or put differently: you always count as blocking for at least 1 AL + the block value of your shield. This is important because it means that even as you stride forward, your shield is up and ready. If someone attacks you, you're already reactively defending. Any further AL on block and defending is a bonus. And if you had Shields 2, you could block on your turn for that 1 AL + 2 Shields and be blocking at 3 and it's cost you nothing.

A Hundred Barricades does the same, but for your sword and is a little more limited because it only goes off once a turn to prevent your arms swinging with infinite mad speed. But it does have several useful side-effects, such as always passively overwatching, defending the area around you, and effectively freeing up a point of AL. If you had Blades 2, you could attack once for 1 AL + 2 blades, roll 3 dice and it's cost you nothing. There was no activation cost because you already had the AL on there.

That means with both those talents together, you're up 2 AL contra everyone around you, you're always defending and you're always ready to strike. It's a little subtle, but over multiple phases, you can move further, take less fatigue, defend more, attack more...

Eagle Soul gives everyone around you +5 Target Number, a flat +5 to hit. Then it stacks with itself such that 2 allies around you give +10, etc.

> Approach the faintly smoldering heap of slag south of camp, Jørgen kneels down by the wreckage and runs his hand along the tarnished knots of derelict machinery. Ash and smoke grime reluctantly wipe away exposing a relatively intact, heat-warped plate, a mismatched brushstroke in a portrait of ash. A stray ray of light plays across the exposed metal casting up a glare vaguely suggestive of a incandescent blade lodged in the hulk of the burnt-out hatch drone. A blink and its gone.

The speed at which something moves. Get 2 hits and you make something +1 faster, which applies as a multiplier to any momentum the thing experiences.

Do know, Kinetik, that speeding up people tends to mean they need to move in very straight lines to avoid colliding with things.

Your parlay with the kings and queens and emperors of their grand nations. Each engage you in deep diplomacy and myriad political aspirations. A new hive, the reclamation of the hallowed grounds of the Moss Tree, a new temple to their interesting gods, a publics work project to give the underclass invested in constructing something grand in the boot of the brigand you helped them acquire. You listen for a spell and walk away from your cultural exchange with a different perspective on the small world and the larger one it rests in. They agree then: A party of adventurous nobles will travel with you to distant lands.

And a small final little farewell to mark this wayward shrine. Perhaps other travellers on these strange paths will come across it one day and pause a moment in wonder as their eyes fall across this gravemarker.

They might remember
