Title: Ventures By Moonlight | A Semi-Cooperative Dark Fantasy | Always Recruiting
Post by: Draignean on April 27, 2021, 06:45:58 pm

^꧁Ventures by Moonlight^꧂
_{(A Risky Venture into the Deepest Dark)}

Evil wings in ether beating;
Vultures at the spirit eating;
Things unseen forever fleeting
Black against the leering sky.
Ghastly shades of bygone gladness,
Clawing fiends of future sadness,
Mingle in a cloud of madness
Ever on the soul to lie.

It is a cold and bitter truth that there is no Golden Age that is not a prelude to some period of relative darkness and bleak decay. For decades our Country has enjoyed the fruits of a renaissance of science, thaumaturgy, medicine, and alchemic discipline. By clockwork we mechanized and cultivated endless fields, by alchemic explosive we cleared the impassible, by thaumaturgical mastery we made the most infertile ground into new Edens, and by the advances of medicine we biocrafted a new caste citizenry to enjoy all the fruits of our great labors.

Perhaps there is some truth to the rumors of the Church, that apocalypse came upon us because we surrounded idle hands with plenty and allowed them to poke too far into the edges of the unknown. Perhaps we brought the turn of the era upon ourselves, but the blame of it matters very little. What is important is that our Golden Age ended, not with the quiet rot of corruption and complacency that history taught us would be the end of an era of plenty. It ended under a lambent moon, in a single flash of corrupted moonlight.

We do not know why it happened. A disease contracted by the merest touch of the light. An infection of body, mind, and soul. A plague of whispers and promises within the mind, promising everything while taking humanity, mutating flesh, and robbing the mind of all sanity. Tens of thousands died, either succumbing completely to the sickness brought on by the pale light or torn apart by the monsters born in its wake. The crystal minds of our most advanced automata either shattered or took on the moon's corrupting glow as their own - taking a frightening, unbounded, and wholly wicked intelligence in the process. Corrupt machine and monster both carried the Moon's corruption like a disease, spreading it to all those they touched, regardless of the light.

Great cities became monstrous tombs, sprawling fields grew to fruit and rotted, and a kingdom once governed by progress and erudition fell to madness, fear, and superstition. Conclaves of survivors formed in places where the light could never touch, carving new civilizations out of old mines or outlying townships with windows boarded and every chink filled with mud and plaster.

Years have passed since the initial event, but the Moon's corrupted light does not wane. What civilization has re-established itself keeps to the edges of the old empire, a loose network of allied survivor camps not even fit to be called a shadow of its former glory. Still, it has been enough for some progress to be made, and for some sense of normality to be reestablished.

You are a practitioner of medicine and the arcane, not a combatant yourself, but of reasonable means and of keen mind. Through trial, error, and no small amount of macabre experimentation, you've managed to produce a single dose of a Moonlight Inoculation that will cure any individual suffering the earliest stages of moon sickness and immunize them permanently in the process - turning them into a meta-human commonly referred to as a Hunter. While this robs the subject of most of their memories, it is preferable to death, and it allows you to give them a new purpose.

The behavior of those afflicted by the Moon's curse is not random. They gather and congregate, they perform strange rituals in dark places or at the height of the Lunar hour, and where there is a pattern there is something to be learned. Perhaps a better cure can be devised, an immunization that does not steal memories or require the imbiber to already be afflicted by the pale light's contagion. Every Golden Age is prelude to a coming darkness, this is true, yet it is also true that every dark age is a prelude to a new Dawn. Perhaps you can find a way to light the road between now and that brighter future, but at the very least you can make yourself rich off the bones of the glories past.

For now, your best bet is to mount an expedition to the outlying town of Darremont's Bell. While completely overtaken by corruption, it's relatively small and inhabited primarily by the weakest forms of the Moon-touched monsters. It should be good for supplies and potentially a clue as to how to proceed forwards.

What is this: This is a Risky Venture style game. You start with 3 Sovereigns (₹) and an Experimental Moonlight Inoculation. (You can copy the 'Starter Items' spoiler below and rename as necessary) Your job is to create Hunters (by using Inoculations on Candidates) and then outfit those Hunters to go on Expeditions to various locations.

This game is Lazy Fair*, which here means that I'm going to be extremely lazy. I expect you to manage your own assets and keep them up to date. While I will provide you with the results of various actions and arbitrate disputes, it is my goal to do as little as possible. This is both to avoid burnout and to let you guys go a bit nuts with how you interact.

To facilitate this, please tag @ACTACTACT any time you want to take an action you want me to pay attention to. If you don't use the tag, and I miss your actions for the turn, it's your own fault.

*This term coined by Nuke, God Bless Him.

Addendum: For those interested, there is a sub-channel for this game in the Risky Ventures discord located here: https://discord.gg/AMzCWgPkWt

Game Mechanics

Spoiler: Expeditions and Encounters (click to show/hide)

As the game progresses, you gain access to various Locations that where you can send an Expedition. An expedition consists of one or more Hunters, who may come from various players or player coalitions. Each expedition has a cost, which represents the expense in supplies of getting each Hunter to that particular location, and this fee must be paid for every Hunter in the expedition.

Each expedition is a string of Encounters, which are combat actions where the Hunters go up against NPC enemies, other Hunters, or both. Each encounter takes one turn. The owner(s) of surviving Hunter(s) will receive combat logs at the end of the encounter, as well as the loot gained. The players can then decide to push forward on the expedition, which allows them to start another encounter next round without paying the expedition fee again, or return to Town. The loot and combat difficulty increase with each subsequent encounter on the same expedition, but all loot gained is lost forever if the Hunters are killed before returning to town.

There are two main ways of going on an expedition, Embarking and Invading.

When you Embark, you are intentionally trying to not meet with any other Hunters. You can specify any friendly Hunters you are going with, and as long as their owner(s) also specify that they're going with you, then you'll all join on the same side and fight together.

When you Invade, you are intentionally trying to pick a fight with another Hunter or group of Hunters who are already embarked. When you invade, there is a significant chance you won't find anyone and will embark on the expedition normally, but if you do find a target you'll enter during the start of their encounter, creating a 3-way fight between the Invader(s), the AI, and the original embarkers. If there are multiple invasion candidates, you will invade one at random and cannot specify any one group in particular. You can, however, specify groups that you will immediately back off from if you invade. This, however, can lead to a very high chance of wasting your turn. In this case, you gain nothing, but can otherwise proceed as though you were victorious.

 If you invade a group that is on the first stage of their expedition, you will be able to continue as a normal expedition after you achieve victory. Otherwise, you will be forced to turn back immediately, attempt to invade again immediately, or begin a new expedition at stage 1, if you achieve victory. After a successful invasion, you will have access to all the loot from the encounter, as well as the loot they've uncovered thus far. As with a normal expedition, you can invade with others.

If you are already a party member on an established expedition, you can also opt to Betray instead of going deeper or heading back to town. If you betray, it's treated the same as if you invaded (creating a 3-way fight), but you are guaranteed to get the fight.

Multiple invaders can independently invade the same area, and each will be on their own side, allowing for N-sided battles.

At the very end of an expedition, there may be a special Boss encounter. If the next encounter will be a boss encounter, you will be told so in order to inform your decision to press forward or turn back.

You can send me your actions for Expeditions AND ONLY EXPEDITIONS via PM. If PM actions and thread actions conflict, I will prioritize PM actions. Interacting with the store and other non-expedition actions still have to be in thread. If you are part of a coalition, I expect you to either CC your compatriots or have Chairman control.

Spoiler: Explanation of Stats (click to show/hide)

There's a lot of these, so bear with me here. There are two main categories, Intrinsic and Set stats. Intrinsic stats are part of what something is, and can only be changed by other items or gaining levels. However, Set stats can be configured whenever you're between encounters.

For Hunters, Hunter Candidates, and monsters, the actual numbers behind their intrinsic stats are obfusticated. Why? Because I felt like it.
Mortal Span: How much HP a unit can have. This number is always pretty low. Someone of average health can be killed by a single shotgun blast.
Armor Save: How effective a unit's armor is at preventing damage.
Strength: How likely a unit is to inflict serious damage when hitting in melee.
Toughness: How likely a unit is to be able to shrug off damage when struck.
Melee Skill: How likely a unit is to land a hit in melee.
Ranged Skill: How likely a unit is to land a hit at range
Alacrity: How many melee attacks a unit can make at base
Enc. Limit: The only non-obfusticated Candidate/Hunter stat. Determines how many items you can bring with you.
Mobility Chance: How likely a unit is to be able make or take ground in combat.
Initiative: How likely a candidate is to be placed high in the turn order for combat.

All Hunters can also have 3 Set stats
Preferred Range: The distance a Hunter will attempt to keep between themselves and enemies. 0 is Melee, larger numbers represent longer ranges.

Target Priority (Ranged): You can set six kinds of priority here, giving each a numeric weight. If there are multiple available targets for a ranged weapon, then the target that gets the largest value of the weights you've chosen will get shot at.
-Wounded: Applies its weight to any target in range that's wounded.
-Closest: Applies its weight to the nearest target you can shoot
-Furthest: Applies its weight to the furthest target you can shoot
-LeastNumerous: Applies its weight to the target you can shoot with the lowest number of units in its mob
-MostNumerous: Applies its weight to the target you can shoot with the highest number of units in its mob
-HasRanged: Applies its weight to any target you can shoot that has a ranged attack

Target Priority (Melee): Same as above, except Closest and Furthest can't be used.

For Melee Weapons, there are five main statistics. Every Melee Weapon has an encumbrance of 1, unless it's a Hybrid weapon (see below) in which case it has an encumbrance of 2.

Extra Attacks: A modifier to the number of base melee attacks a Hunter gets. Cannot cause the number of attacks to drop below 1.
Strength Mod: A modifier to the Hunter's melee strength.
Pierce: Directly penalizes the target's Armor save when attacking.
Damage: The number of wounds this weapon deals.
Hybrid: A yes/no. If no, then it's just a melee weapon. If yes, then this weapon is also a ranged weapon and, if equipped, you cannot also equip a separate ranged weapon.

For Ranged Weapons, there are 8 main stats, and as well as range brackets which can be disabled as needed.
Attacks: How many ranged attacks you can make in a round with this weapon.
Extra Attacks: Rolls 1dx, where X is the value of this stat, and gives you that many extra ranged attacks this round.
Damage: How many wounds a successful hit from this weapon deals.
Strength: The effective strength of the ranged attacks. (Not affected by the Hunter's strength)
Pierce:Directly penalizes the target's Armor save when attacking.
Ammunition Carried: How much reserve this ammunition gets at the start of each Expedition. | Will automatically refill this supply when in town.
Ammunition Used: How much ammunition is used for each attack.
Hybrid: A yes/no. If no, then it's just a ranged weapon. If yes, then this weapon is also a melee weapon and, if equipped, you cannot also equip a separate melee weapon.

Ranged weapons also have ranged brackets, which is the list of all ranges they can shoot at and any modifiers for that particular range. Between encounters you can always elect to turn off a particular bracket or brackets if you don't want to use the weapon at that range. Each bracket has 6 values.
Range: What range the bracket applies to.
ACC: Modifies the chance to hit the target at that range.
DMG: Modifies the damage
ATK: Modifies the number of attacks
ARP: Modifies the armor piercing value
STR: Modifies the ranged strength

For Gear, there's only 3 things to pay attention to.
Encumbrance: How many encumbrance slots the item takes up on a Hunter
Consumable: Whether the item disappears when used. There may be additional rules for it being consumed in the description.
Usage: Describes how and when a piece of gear can be activated, what it does, and any other effects that it applies or conditions it has.

Spoiler: The Store (click to show/hide)

The Store is where you'll get Experimental Candidates to use Inoculations on, purchase weapons and equipment, and sell off your ill-gotten gains.

Every round, the store loses a certain amount of inventory, gains a certain amount of inventory, and may shift its prices. Due to the way this happens, high-tier appear rarely and vanish quickly.

The store is not, entirely, First Come, First Served. Experimental Candidates are sold entirely through auction, with the max price limited only by what people are willing to pay.

For other items, however, you can either start the bid at the given price, or instantly buy the item for twice the listed price. When bidding against an existing bid, you're required to exceed the last bid by a minimum of ₹0.05 per rarity tier.
       ₹0.05 for Tier 5, (no symbol)
       ₹0.10 for Tier 4 (✢ symbol)
       ₹0.15 for Tier 3 (❊ symbol)
       ₹0.20 for Tier 2 (✾ symbol)
       ₹0.25 for Tier 1 (ꕥ symbol)

To prevent abuse, if you are currently winning the auction for an item or Hunter and you cancel a winning bid, you need to either find someone willing to take over your bid, or pay 10% of the canceled bid as an auctioneer's fee.

Items you gain will have a 'value' attached to them, which is what you'll be able to sell them for at the shop, no questions asked.

Spoiler: Combat (click to show/hide)

When an encounter starts, ranges are set between all units. Each encounter will usually tell you roughly what range you'll start at, and what the variability is.

Every round, initiative is recalculated. Each unit takes turns going through all of its actions. Many enemy units are mobs, that is they are made up of many smaller units. Mobs take their actions as though they were a single unit.

First, a unit attempts to maneuver into its favored range. Making a mobility check on every non-allied unit that isn't already at its favored range. If it passes, it moves one step closer to its favored range, if it fails, it doesn't move. Importantly, if a unit is engaged in melee, it must first disengage from all melee combatants before it can move further/closer to any other unit.

Second, if a unit is in melee, it launches melee attacks at the available non-allied melee target that best matches its selection criteria.

Third, if a unit has a ranged attack, has ammo, and has non-allied units at a range where its weapon has an active bracket, it will make all the ranged attacks it can at the unit that best matches its selection criteria.

This continues until there is only one side left in a given encounter.

The actual gritty details of how attacking and dealing damage works is ripped from WH40k. First, a unit rolls to hit (Melee or ranged skill). If it hits, it rolls to see if it did significant damage (str vs toughness). If it did significant damage, the defender makes an armor save. If the armor save fails, then damage is dealt based on the weapon.

If the damage reduces the target's mortal span to 0 or below, it loses one unit from its mob. If it's the last mob in the unit, that unit is destroyed. Importantly, extra damage does not roll over. There is no benefit to dealing massive damage to low HP targets. 
 

Spoiler: Expedition Formatting (click to show/hide)

When you're sending out an expedition or proceeding from one stage of an expedition to the next, there's a list of things I need to know to make it go smoothly. I need to know what hunters are going where, what equipment they have, any equipment they want to use/avoid using, and how they intend to engage. These four blocks are pretty easy.

The first two, what Hunters are going and what equipment they have, it's pretty freeform. Something Like,


Expedition to Darremont's Bell
Dame Beatrice of Thorne
Mare's Leg Rifle
Cruciform Sword
T4 Ammo

Doug the Subway Fugitive
Canister Rifle
Serrated Axe
Adrenaline Shot
Rage Serum


I don't need to know the hunter's stats, or even what items are being slotted where as long as I know what Hunter they're going on. It's all pretty self-explanatory for me to punch in, and the important part here is WHO is going and WHAT they're carrying. The next section, the equipment you intend to reserve or explicitly use, is easy to format but occasionally difficult to think about. You only need to explicitly use an item if, in its usage block, it contains the phrase 'declare'. For instance, the adrenaline shot has to be declared before it's taken at the beginning of an encounter. Conversely, you only need to explicitly disable an item if it would be used automatically during an encounter. Spare ammo, for instance, is automatically used when the unit runs out of ammunition. You activate or disable items with the following command

Activate: [item name]
Disable: [item name]

Any item not explicitly Disabled will be Enabled, and any item not explicitly Activated before the Encounter will not be used. When adding commands, make sure the names are as exact as possible. So, if we add these commands to the above, we can get a total expedition that looks like,


Expedition to Darremont's Bell
Dame Beatrice of Thorne
Mare's Leg Rifle
Cruciform Sword
T4 Ammo
---
Disable: T4 Ammo

Doug the Subway Fugitive
Canister Rifle
Serrated Axe
Adrenaline Shot
Rage Serum
---
Activate: Adrenaline Shot


The last block is the biggest, and contains a number of commands. You need to set a Hunter's range brackets, their preferred range, their movement, and their targeting parameters. The first, range brackets, is done with a single string.

[Enable/Disable] Range: [Input]

The [Input] can be done in a number of forms. You can list out all the numbers you want as the simplest method (I.E: 2,3,4,5,9), you can specify a range (2-5), and unbounded range (3+, 9-), or you can mix and match all of the above. If you're using the 'Enable' command, then any range not within the parameters listed will be disabled, and the reverse is true if you're using the 'Disable' command. Next up is the preferred range of the Hunter, which is set easily as a single value,

Preferred Range: [Input]

The preferred range should be a single integer. Importantly, you can't set your preferred range to a range you can't fight at. If you try to do so, your range will be automatically set to 0, or melee. Movement is also simple, with only a couple options to choose from,

Movement: [Hold Ground/Walk Only/Run To Engage/Free Movement]

If set to 'Hold Ground' a Hunter will never take movement actions, towards or away from enemies. 'Walk Only' forbids sprinting in any case, but otherwise allows normal movement. 'Run to Engage' allows a hunter to sprint as long as they're outside any of their usable weapon ranges, and 'Free Movement' places no restrictions on sprinting or movement. This leaves only targeting parameters, which takes up the largest section, and should look like:

Melee Target Weights (
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
[...]
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
)

Ranged Target Weights (
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
[...]
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
)

Where '[WeightName]' is any of the targeting types listed in the above "Explanation Of Stats" section, and the [WeightValue] is any integer. Any targeting type you don't set using this command is treated as 0. Combining all of the above, our final expedition manifest should look like,

Expedition to Darremont's Bell
Dame Beatrice of Thorne
Mare's Leg Rifle
Cruciform Sword
T4 Ammo
---
Disable: T4 Ammo
Disable Range: 1-, 4+
Preferred Range: 2
Movement: Run To Engage

Melee Target Weights (
Wounded = 1
)

Ranged Target Weights (
LeastNumerous = 2
Wounded = 2
HasRanged = 3
)

Doug the Subway Fugitive
Canister Rifle
Serrated Axe
Adrenaline Shot
Rage Serum
---
Activate: Adrenaline Shot
Enable Range: 2-7
Preferred Range: 7
Movement: Walk Only

Melee Target Weights (
Wounded = 2
MostNumerous = 1
)

Ranged Target Weights (
HasRanged = 2
Wounded = 1
)

Beastiary Entry: A common citizen, cursed by the Moon's unholy light. This particular individual is one of the least powerful of the cursed, and, despite their appearance, is not truly dead. Referred to as 'Rotten', this variety of cursed wished (and wishes) for nothing but to survive their sickness. The curse that grows within them fulfills this wish, sustaining their warped tissues even as it steals mind and eats away at the soul. The remnant left behind remembers nothing of who it was, retaining only pain and desire to survive that it itself no longer truly understands. Easily manipulated by the whispering light, these creatures frequently swarm around intruders into territories that have fallen to the moonlight. Individually weak and easily dispatched, they are seldom encountered alone and can overwhelm novice Hunters whose weaponry is too slow to combat their sheer numbers.

Beastiary Entry: Though the Moon's disease has the fastest and most horrific progression in humans, the common dog is not exempt from transformation. Like many domestic animals, it is thankfully divorced enough from its killer instincts that it seldom undergoes metamorphosis into a fully fledged moonbeast - though Tyndalian Hounds and Unquiet Ones are terrifying exceptions - and frequently persists only as one of the rotten. Both sustained and degraded by the moon's curse, Rotten Hounds are easy to kill individually, but blindingly fast and capable of a savage flurry of decomposing tooth and claw. Despite their fierce demeanor, their atrophied bodies and decayed natural weapons frequently mean that armor of even middling degree can prevent many injuries.

Beastiary Entry: Appearing mostly whole, these moon-touched madmen owe themselves to the Antiquarian. While whatever version of the inoculation they've received has clearly destroyed their sanity and ravaged their bodies, they seem to be almost entirely spared the moon's curse. Stupid but not mindless, savage but not unthinking, these maddened cultists rarely attack alone and frequently supplement their brothers with a lethal spray of shotgun fire before joining the fray.

Beastiary Entry: Strangely calm in their journey throughout the Mooncursed lands, these cultists appear to have received a strange and... partially effective variant of the inoculation given to Hunters. While they do not seem directly under the moon's sway, they speak seldom - communing instead through gestures and half-vocal intonations that make sense only to their maddened minds. Their bodies are riddled with bizarre mutations and perturbations of unnatural flesh, but it does not seem to help or hinder them.  Deathly calm even in battle, they move as one, striking with long knives and uncanny silence at any interloper - mooncursed or otherwise - into the domain they protect.

Beastiary Entry: While still one of the rotten, and thus far off in power from a true moonbeast, this individual represents a soldier or guard of the old empire. Well-trained when they lived, reflexive memories of weapons training and tactical placement still remain in their cursed madness, as does much of their old equipment. That said, the ill-maintained equipment and their own untrustworthy bodies make their accuracy with their sidearms almost negligible, and they rely primarily on volume of fire to deal any damage to distant targets. In melee, however, their armor and mindless strength serve them well, as the slight edge provided by their dimly-remembered training is often sufficient in allowing them to make effective use of their corroded blades. While not terribly dangerous alone, they, like most of the rotten, are very rarely encountered alone.

Beastiary Entry: This creature was, once, a citizen of Carn Feuerlyn. To be technical, it was once several citizens. Someone of great surgical skill, mechanical expertise, and consummate sadism has taken limbs and musculature from several individuals and stitched them into a single individual, augmenting them heavily along the way with what appear to be homemade mechanical components. Beneath the skin of this wretched creature lurk a number of wickedly crafted automaton components, implanted with no care for comfort and compatibility. No sane individual would have asked for this, and no reasonable necro-surgeon would have wasted so much material on such minor augmentations. Whoever did this did it for the fun of it, and very likely fully intended the process to inflict the constant agony indicated by this creature's stilted motions and tortured moans.

Beastiary Entry: Difficult to classify, these abominations appear to be a hybrid form resulting from an infestation of living lunacite taking hold in one of the rotten. Prone to long periods of stillness, these creatures are completely motionless when at rest and resemble corpses that are covered from head to toe in Lunacite growths of varying sizes. When they move, they do so with an unnerving and jerky swiftness, frequently shattering some of their own external crystals on their first movements after a long period of torpor. While the awkward growths that pierce their bodies make them rather unfit melee combatants, despite the sharpness of their innate weapons, they possess the ability to propel short barrages of their crystal structure at targets within short range, and are fast enough on their feet to keep slower adversaries at a distance. Easily dispatched with a single solid blow, they're threatening when other creatures prevent easy engagement in melee.

Beastiary Entry: One of the early models of automated legionnaire, from the first major inclusion of golemcraft infantry into the military, soldiers such as this were decommissioned from service in the military and refit as patrolling law-keepers in major cities. Spartan military regalia has been replaced with a more fanciful uniform, and its programming altered to detect minor infractions of the law and deliver reports back to mortal guardsmen. Its long rifle, a mass-produced weapon designed for battery fire at range, should have been refit as well to accept non-lethal electro-aetheric gel rounds - but someone has re-militarized the weapon to fire quite lethal bullets again. Oddly, someone has attached a coin purse to this unit as well, and several sticks of moldering jerky poke up from the jacket pocket.

Beastiary Entry: Despite being much less susceptible to the curse than their human counterparts, even simple beasts of burden have been corrupted by the Moon's cursed light. Domestic animals like most of the savage characteristics that create the most dangerous of moonbeasts, and frequently end up in a 'Rotten' state. Sick and corrupted, but sufficiently sustained by the curse's power that they are unable to die. Motivated primarily by maddened pain and influenced only slightly by moonlit whispers, these creatures are primarily a threat due to their size and unfeeling mass, rather than any kind of skill or innate weaponry. While tough, sustained beating from nearly anything will eventually tip this rather pathetic creatures over death's cusp.

Beastiary Entry: The first war-automata to be trained on animals, the Automaton Hound goes far above and beyond its simpler automaton equine predecessors and incorporates two control crystals. The primary crystal, which controls the body of the hound, is relatively sophisticated. It allows the automated hound to navigate difficult terrain, follow simple commands much like the animals it emulates, and make split-second decisions in melee combat.  The secondary core is much simpler and located in the hindquarters, little more than an IFF and an animal instinct, it solely controls the extensible tail of the hound and was trained off the motions of a Kanstazi desert scorpion. The combination of the two cores, good armor coverage, excellent speed and evasive movement, make the Automaton hound exceptionally lethal. However, its compact design places many fragile clockwork components in close proximity, and it relies entirely on its evasive movement and armor plating to avoid damage.

Beastiary Entry: A former citizen of Carn Feuerlyn, heavily augmented with strange biomechanical devices constructed from Aicha's alloy. Magnificent prongs of the golden metal rise from the creature's back, and arcs of electricity periodically jump from the prongs to nearby metallic or living objects. The lightning itself seems directed in some manner by the enhanced citizen, and it will directly seek out living creatures to stun with a barrage of bolts before tearing them apart with its taloned hands. Despite the massive tissue disruption caused by the implants, this creature moves with a fluid and malevolent purpose that contrasts starkly against the more crudely grafted citizens of Carn.

Beastiary Entry: A legless hovering figure, their face covered in a metal mask, carrying a thurible from which thin streams of near-black fire writhe. A smokelike nimbus surrounds them, and the exact details of their form flicker and change like a drunkard retelling a half-remembered night terror. Clearly this being is a Wraith, a creature born from the spirit of dead mage, but the real question is who bound this creature to service. It frequently patrols alongside cultist groups, raining fire from a distance while its allies engage in melee.

Beastiary Entry: A silent guardian of the Lady Antiquarian, covered in ornate plate armor from before the era of firearms, and fighting with sword and shield. The coiled eel crest of the Antiquarian's house is plainly visible and beautifully picked out in azure and crimson lacquer, and were it not for the eery quiet with which the guardians move and the strange skull masks they bear, these would seem a fitting honor guard for a rich noble.

Beastiary Entry: Masked and enshrouded by a thick mixture of armor and robes, what little is visible of this cultist flesh shows exactly how little truth there is to their apparent humanity. These individuals, despite being tactical and intelligent, appear to still be among the lowest of the Antiquarian's Servants, leading the patrols outside her demense or operating has minor guards within her manor. Still, either for their intelligence or their magical aptitude, they are permitted to bear the crest of the coiled eel that represents the Lady Antiquarian.

Beastiary Entry: A Cultist of the Antiquarian, their body completely torn apart by lunar corruption but still somehow capable of following orders and working with the other cultists. Strangely docile under most circumstances, content to silently follow its more human brothers and sisters on their sinister errands, it transforms into a screaming and thrashing frenzy of disjointed limbs and raking, teeth-covered, tentacles.

Beastiary Entry: This creature is a stark departure from ordinary biology, and represents a notable divergence from the Lunar Corruption's normal path of twisting existing life. This being appears to be a form of consciousness that arises spontaneously from sufficiently large clusters of Lunacite crystals, tearing itself up from its morbid and glittering bed and exhibiting individual volition. Like most living creatures, its primary motivation appears to be to feed, which it attends to in uniquely grisly fashion. Lunacite has a well described tendency to grow in places of bloodshed that recieve direct moonlight, with the greatest psychic disturbances resulting in the richest beds of crystals. These skittering masses of lunacite seem well aware of this and will use forelimbs sculpted of jagged crystal to batter and weaken any unfortunate living prey, weakening them before picking their victim up and impaling it while still alive onto one of the jagged crystals on the creature's back. This grisly behavior, usually a presage to a long bask in the moonlight, in combination with their peculiar many-limbed physique has earned them the evocative moniker "Spider-Shrike".

Beastiary Entry: This creature is clearly an advanced amalgamation of moonbeast flesh and clockwork cybernetic augmentation, but where one begins and the other ends is impossible to say. The moonflesh is dessicated and bloodless, pulled taught against the mechanical frame so sharply that its blue-white pallor almost causes it to resemble a strange metal of its own, while the machinery is bizarrely organic in its design with every hard edge masked in strangely bulbous contours and ephemeral veils of what can only be described as clothing.  The golden facemask that tops the design is the most unsettling; a benevolent and deific mask out of which burns a hellish red light that incites the oldest and most primal fears of the ravaging flame that consumes land and home alike, born from the primeval wells of the deep earth and regurgitated seldom in streams of molten chaos against which logic and reason is of no avail.

Beastiary Entry: A heavy mining machine built to search through the deepest depths of the Carn Feuerlyn mines alone, seeking along beacon paths laid by prospectors. Enormously tough, built to withstand and drill its way out of cave-ins, as well as excavate tunnels potentially filled to the brim with hostile fauna on its own, many of these relic machines became local mascots and icons of their local under-district. Despite their relative sophistication at mining, the basic machinery and control system of these massive machines is quite simple, though robust and heavily reinforced. Most of these machines were deactivated, rather than destroyed, by the light of the cursed moon due to their incredible simplicity and redundant cores, but something has clearly been reactivating them.

Beastiary Entry: Much beloved by his people, Governor Martyn Assais lived a life of, ultimately misguided, sacrifice. His youth was sacrificed as the knight champion of his father, earning scars for causes not his own. His first wife and best love was sacrificed due to a barren womb, cast aside for the need of heirs to continue a bloodline. His eldest sons were sacrificed to war, given up to lieges and distant battlefields. His daughters sacrificed to treaty and alliance

Despite this, he ever maintained a fair hand, reasoning always that the sacrifices he made were worth as much as the lives they protected. To give of oneself freely was, in his mind, the surest path to become whole. He governed justly, and Darremont's Bell flourished under his prudent hand, blossoming as it never had under his father's cruel care.

Under the Moon's curse he watched all that he protected turn inwards, as the night filled with screams, the gnashing of teeth, and worse besides. As survivors clustered together in cobbled shelters, all that he had sacrificed for seemed fit to fall apart. Everything he had done was rendered meaningless in the face of disaster at a scale beyond imagination. It was to this despair in Martyn that the Moon called and pulled, reflected light wheedling a deal. A favor. Martyn's willing strength, his final willing sacrifice, and it promised that the bulk of his people, far more than in any other city, would be spared.

Martyn sacrificed - and his people did not die. They persisted, as legions of the rotten, caught between life and death. Much can be said of the malevolence behind the Moon's curse, but it is as good as its word.

Can I join your Noble Order as well? I put a Bid on a guy before realizing I lack the money to both bid for them and outfit them with any kind of gear. They look to be a good candidate for ranged combat who could back up the probably melee focused F858.

Want to collaborate? I buy the hunter, you pay for equipment and the first few expeditions, and we split the profits from those expeditions 50/50. For now we could ally with an agreement to rethink our cooperation once you have enough for a hunter again, and I have enough to pay for whatever equipment the hunter I buy ends up getting. In other words, when we can go our separate ways and not screw each other over by doing so.

Quote from: Charter of the "Noble Order of the Crab, Owl, and Fox"

We undersigned doctors do hereby charter the creation of the "Noble Order of the Crab, Owl, and Fox" (henceforth referred to as "NOCOF"). We agree to pursue this order in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, and to respect the noble animals for which our order is named.

Resources gained through NOCOF's efforts are to be split as evenly as possible between the undersigned members.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual members of NOCOF may reimburse the other members the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split evenly among the remaining party members.  The NOCOF may, through majority vote, elect to retain a percentage of the resources gained, which will then be used to advance the orders agenda.

Decisions made regarding the NOCOF require a majority vote.  Alterations to the NOCOF charter require a unanimous vote.  In the event a member is unreachable for a vote or otherwise missing for three (3) or more days, they are considered to have conceded their voting powers until their return.

A "Chairman" may be elected to make decisions on behalf of the NOCOF, thus waiving the requirement of a majority vote.  This elected Chairman requires a unanimous vote to assume the position, must be a member of NOCOF, and may be removed from their position at any time by any member of NOCOF.

A member of NOCOF may exit the order by announcing their resignation at the start of a turn, which then takes effect at the start of the following turn.  The NOCOF will then select a sum of assets with which to provide the exiting member equal to their portion of the orders shares (1/NumberOfMembers).  In the event that such an amount is unable to be paid immediately, the NOCOF is required to pay the amount at their first available convenience.

Any member of the order found to have acted in Poor Faith against his fellow members may be expelled from the order with a unanimous vote, barring the member in question. 

Acts of Poor Faith include, but are not limited to, the attempt or performance of the following against fellow members or their assets:

• Murder
• Theft
• Willful deceit
• Chicanery
• Destruction and/or damage
• Disparaging remarks regarding crabs, owls, or foxes.

Those undersigned agree to each contribute to this order the following:

• One (1) Starter Moonlight Inoculation
• ₹3.00

This pool of resources will be used to purchase and outfit a minimum of one (1) Moonlight Hunter, who shall be named Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight.

In The Name of The Sun,
we the undersigned agree to purchase Experimental candidate C011 and equip them using our combined funding, splitting any rewards gained from their adventures amongst ourselves evenly if possible, otherwise any excess will be given to the individual who provided the original Inoculation. Furthermore, to simplify actually going on adventures, The first signatory will be allowed to manage the Hunter as they see fit unless explicitly vetoed by a 2/3rds majority. if this veto power is used in bad faith it may result in the removal of the offending party and the forfeiture of their invested assets. In the event that the first signatory is unable to complete their duties, this power will be temporarily passed on to the second signatory, and so on and so forth. The current maximum signatories is 3, though a vote can be held amongst the signatories to amend this number, requiring unanimous agreement to pass.

Quote from: Charter of the "Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica"

We undersigned doctors do hereby charter the creation of the "Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica" (henceforth referred to as "OaLM"). We agree to pursue this order in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, and to strive at all times to restore the Empire to its former mechanical glory.

Resources gained through OaLM's efforts are to be split as evenly as possible between the undersigned members.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual members of OaLM may reimburse the other members the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split evenly among the remaining party members.  The OaLM may, through majority vote, elect to retain a percentage of the resources gained, which will then be used to advance the orders agenda.

Decisions made regarding the OaLM require a majority vote.  Alterations to the OaLM charter require a unanimous vote.  In the event a member is unreachable for a vote or otherwise missing for three (3) or more days, they are considered to have conceded their voting powers until their return.

A "Chairman" may be elected to make decisions on behalf of the OaLM, thus waiving the requirement of a majority vote.  This elected Chairman requires a unanimous vote to assume the position, must be a member of OaLM, and may be removed from their position at any time by any member of OaLM.

A member of OaLM may exit the order by announcing their resignation at the start of a turn, which then takes effect at the start of the following turn.  The OaLM will then select a sum of assets with which to provide the exiting member equal to their portion of the orders shares (1/NumberOfMembers).  In the event that such an amount is unable to be paid immediately, the OaLM is required to pay the amount at their first available convenience.

Any member of the order found to have acted in Poor Faith against his fellow members may be expelled from the order with a unanimous vote, barring the member in question. 

Acts of Poor Faith include, but are not limited to, the attempt or performance of the following against fellow members or their assets:

• Murder
• Theft
• Willful deceit
• Chicanery
• Destruction and/or damage
• Disparaging remarks regarding mechanical constructs.

I feel you may have misinterpreted things a bit.
-You haven't actually bought anything, for two reasons:
  -You didn't tag the action with ACTx3
  -Buying things from the shop is done on auction basis, so your purchases won't happen until the turn ticks over.
-DGR has left you in the dust, it seems, by joining OaLM. So you currently have no team. A formalised contract is usually recommended for team-creation.

Having said that, I was looking at the equipment on offer, and I actually think the gunaxes might be worth the money- but OaLM can't afford them with only three members. If the other members of the order agree, I could see letting you join as well. Alternatively, if you don't want to tie yourself to an order, we could just loan some extra cash from you, and pay you back (with interest) with the proceeds of our first expedition.

Honest Hank's Hunter Hideout
Home of the Best Bargains

Is there an item you just wish you could afford? Does the thought of the market snatching it away give you shivers? Wondered if there was a solution to the problem?

Good thing I'm here for you! I'm happy to help you out in making sure your Hunter has the gear they need to get things done in the Wilderness. I can pre-purchase items, provide equipment loans and, once stocks permit, rent out gear.

To start, I need stock. Unless anyone has any particular requests, I shall look with the following:

ACTACTACT: Bid ₹0.98 on the ✢Serrated Axe✢

Spoiler: Johannes 'Hank' Strausse (click to show/hide)

Funds: ₹3.00

Items

---

Value:	Can't Be Sold
Stock:	1
		Name:	Starter Moonlight Inoculation
		Encumbrance:	None	|	Consumable:	N/A

       Usage: Can only be used in town on a Candidate Hunter. Cures them and converts them into a Hunter that you can equip with items and send them on expeditions as needed. This special injection does not add traits during the cure process, nor can it be used to add traits to existing Hunters.

       ₹0.05 for Tier 5, (no symbol)
       ₹0.10 for Tier 4 (✢ symbol)
       ₹0.15 for Tier 3 (❊ symbol)

Not that I have an interest in your affairs, but might I suggest you not blow two thirds of your income paying double for a Tier 4 melee weapon, turn 1?  If you are really interested, you could instead bid ₹1.08

ESPECIALLY if you're not already part of an order - in fact, finding teammates might be the appropriate first course of action, before bidding on items.

Also worth noting, in the Store there is a cap of double the item price, so you can just buy it straight for ₹1.96.

Post by: evictedSaint on April 28, 2021, 11:49:21 am

The game has been active for less than 24 hours.

If you have no teammates, I would recommend starting an Order of your own.  Feel free to use my contract as a template - more people will come, the store will refresh next turn, and one guy deciding to join up with his friends is not a "betrayal".

You're perfectly fine, friend.  Withdraw your bid, start an Order, and talk with your teammates once they join.  The game just started. :)

New stock is added each round, and that includes Candidates. At absolute worst, you can wait a round and see how things play out with the store next turn when there are different Hunters.

However, as people have stated, you need a minimum of two players to work together to both get a Hunter and equipment.

If you like, I can process your buyout now, and you'll receive the Serrated axe for 1.96 - but I'm also willing to let you take the mulligan and wait a little.

A catch by Andrea.

Your current inoculation is single-use, it's listed as N/A because (unlike most inoculations) its only use is to create a Hunter from a Candidate. Other inoculations can also be used in town or in the field to add traits to Hunters.

The corrupt inoculation in the store should also be listed as consumable. The fact that it isn't is just a mistake which I will correct shortly.

Professional soldiers for extraordinary tasks

Cures are rare and trained soldiers are expensive. And yet venturing out in the cursed lands is the path for the golden age to come, when we master moonlight.
If you have trouble raising enough on your own, Ordo mercenarium is an organization of professional hunters for hire. We offer bodies to suit your needs, to help deal with the fights you will no doubt meet and to carry away a larger and safer bundle of well earned wealth.

At a modest price, of course.

What are your rates? Like, if I wanted to borrow ₹1, how much interest would you be looking for per turn?

While it is hard to pin down interest rates until I know the exact rate of return and risk on expidition, a 5-10% per turn rate sounds fair. (Non-compounding)

Honest Hank's Hunter Hideout
Home of the Best Bargains

As I will likely be having stock soon, I will touch on my offers. Wjilst I'm happy to sell it immediately for a modest handling fee, I expect most will be more interested in weapon rental. For a fee of 10% of the value of the item per turn, you may rent a weapon to take on an expedition. For a limit time I also offer a combo deal where you can rent the axe and shotgun for just ₹0.18 per turn, 7.5%! Just think of all the extra armour and consumables you could afford!

That seems reasonable. Nuke isn't here right now but I am, so I would like to start a vote from the members of the OaLM to get a ₹1 loan from the Order of the Moonlight Reclaimers, to be used in conjunction with our own funds to secure the Gun handaxes.

This is a friendly notice that, barring reasonable requests for extension, that I'll try and process Turn 1 in about 24 hours.

In general, I'm going to try and keep to a 48 hour loop. It's quick enough for several turns a week, and slow enough that everyone from all timezones can both act and react.

@Knightwing64: On behalf of the Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica, I invite you to join our enterprise. If you are willing, add your name to the bottom of this contract:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Quote from: Charter of the "Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica"

We undersigned doctors do hereby charter the creation of the "Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica" (henceforth referred to as "OaLM"). We agree to pursue this order in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, and to strive at all times to restore the Empire to its former mechanical glory.

Resources gained through OaLM's efforts are to be split as evenly as possible between the undersigned members.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual members of OaLM may reimburse the other members the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split evenly among the remaining party members.  The OaLM may, through majority vote, elect to retain a percentage of the resources gained, which will then be used to advance the orders agenda.

Decisions made regarding the OaLM require a majority vote.  Alterations to the OaLM charter require a unanimous vote.  In the event a member is unreachable for a vote or otherwise missing for three (3) or more days, they are considered to have conceded their voting powers until their return.

A "Chairman" may be elected to make decisions on behalf of the OaLM, thus waiving the requirement of a majority vote.  This elected Chairman requires a unanimous vote to assume the position, must be a member of OaLM, and may be removed from their position at any time by any member of OaLM.

A member of OaLM may exit the order by announcing their resignation at the start of a turn, which then takes effect at the start of the following turn.  The OaLM will then select a sum of assets with which to provide the exiting member equal to their portion of the orders shares (1/NumberOfMembers).  In the event that such an amount is unable to be paid immediately, the OaLM is required to pay the amount at their first available convenience.

Any member of the order found to have acted in Poor Faith against his fellow members may be expelled from the order with a unanimous vote, barring the member in question. 

Acts of Poor Faith include, but are not limited to, the attempt or performance of the following against fellow members or their assets:

• Murder
• Theft
• Willful deceit
• Chicanery
• Destruction and/or damage
• Disparaging remarks regarding mechanical constructs.

Those undersigned agree to each contribute to this order the following:

• One (1) Starter Moonlight Inoculation
• ₹3.00

This pool of resources will be used to purchase and outfit a minimum of one (1) Moonlight Hunter, who shall be named Fylakas.

@Doomblade: If Knightwing refuses, could we get a loan from you that looks like this:

Quote from: Loan Contract (preview)

The undersigned Order of the Midnight Redeemers agrees to immediately transfer ₹0.7 to the undersigned Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica.
OaLM will repay this sum following the return of its first expedition.
The amount owed will accrue 5% interest per turn, plus a fixed ₹0.07 ((eg repaying after two turns would be 0.7+(2*5%*0.7)+(0.07)= 0.84, four turns would be 0.91)).
Should OaLM be unwilling or unable to repay this amount at the agreed upon deadline, OotMR may seize assets of equivalent value.

Or something like that. Key point is we're looking for ₹0.7 at a reasonable interest rate.

It does not. This in conjunction with the per-hunter cost to embark means that, while it does have the best odds of survival, just flinging more bodies at the problem is not cost-effective after a certain point.

Also, a Discord question from @Kashyyk

Quote

Are people allowed to cancel their bid, if they are currently winning?

A: This is a good point, and one I had not thought of. Lazy Fair dictates that I offload the burden to you when possible. So...

If you cancel a winning bid, you need to either find someone willing to take over your bid, or pay 10% of the canceled bid as an auctioneer's fee.

Honest Hank's Hunter Hideout
Home of the Best Bargains

In the backroom of the Hunter Hideout, a deal is struck.

Quote from: Hunter Rental

Master Carcarias of Ordo Mercenariorum and Johannes "Hank" Strauss of Honest Hank's Hunter Hideout (henceforth referred to as the Noble Lender) agree to provide The Noble Order of Crab, Owl and Fox (henceforth referred as the Noble Client) with the services of

• Hunter B002 (A.K.A. Cancer Sidereo)

equipped with

• (1) Hunter Shotgun
• (1) Serrated Axe

for the length of

• (1) Expedition.

The Hunter(s) will follow all directions and commands of the Noble Client during the Expedition. All Expenses are to be paid by Noble Client. In exchange, the Noble Client shall pay to the Noble Lender a fee of ₹0.30 the first turn of the Expedition and ₹0.80 for each subsequent turn, up to a cap of 33% of the Noble Client's share of the salvaged goods and items of value recovered during the Expedition.  The Noble Client may pay the Noble Lender their share of the salvaged goods and items with any combination of Sovereigns and loot gained during this Expedition, provided the payment is equal to or greater than the amount owed.  Loss of a rented item shall incur a fee equal to its value from the Noble Client.

It is understood that Expeditions carry a risk. However, death of the Hunter resulting from reckless endangerment, defined by actions similar in kind to pushing forward despite crippling wounds/lack of supplies, negligence, or blatantly suicidal tactics, shall incur a fee of ₹3.00 from the Noble Client.

In consideration of the cyclical nature of Expeditions, it is agreed that rental payments can be suspended till the return of the Expedition or up to 4 turns after the signing of this agreement, whichever comes first.

Alright alright.

Now then. We have the most powerful weapon known to man (so far), and arguably the best Hunter. I reckon we could go it alone if we wanted to.
However, that would leave the @MoonlightRedeemers with no ally on their expedition, and with their significantly less well-equipped and stat'd Hunter, that might not work out so well. So I reckon it would be the friendly thing to do to offer them the chance to come along with us, provided they accept a 60:40 loot split (in our favour). That roughly correlates to how much each team spent last turn, which I think is pretty generous (66:33 would be better reflective of the relative capabilities).

If the Moonlight Redeemers are not interested in this offer, then I propose we go solo.

I wrote an expedition contract template. I tried to cover all the bases without creating situations that would require tons of negotiations (since that takes time, especially if one side needs to get majority approval for every decision).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Quote from: Expedition Cooperation Agreement

The undersigned entities, Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica and The Order of Moonlight Redeemers, hereby agree to a joint expedition to Darremont's Bell.


Funding and Equipment
Each entity agrees to fund their Hunter(s) individually, including travel costs.


Division of Loot
Any items, currency, or other valuables gained in the course of the joint expedition (Loot) will be split between the undersigned entities in the following ratio:
  6 Shares Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica
  4 Shares The Order of Moonlight Redeemers
Items will be valued according to their resale price plus 20%.
The value of unsellable items, should any be gained, will be negotiated. If no agreement can be reached, the unsellable item will be auctioned to a third party, and the revenue from the sale added to the Loot.
Upon the return of the Loot to the town, the sum of its value will be calculated, and each entity assigned a target yield according to their Share value (see above). The Loot will then be divided such that each entity receives an amount equal to their yield. This will be accomplished by assigning the most valuable item to the the entity with the highest Share value (see above), then the second most valuable to the second highest Share, and so on, cycling back to the highest Share after the lowest Share. If at any point an entity would be granted an item such that their total yield would exceed their target yield, that item shall instead be granted to the next entity in rotation (in the event that no entity can receive the item, see next paragraph). Once all items have been granted, the cash part of the Loot will be assigned to bring all entities up to their target yield. 
In the event that it is impossible to divide the Loot to fit the ratio to within 1%, it should be divided as closely as possible to the Ratio, whereafter the overcompensated entity must compensate the other(s) with already held cash equal to the amount they have been overcompensated. If this is also impossible (due to a lack of sufficient cash), then item(s) granted to the overcompensated entity must be auctioned (or sold to the store) to generate sufficient cash.


Rules
The following actions are not permitted. Performing any such action will result in the forfeiture of all Loot share and a fine of ₹5.00:
-Betrayal of the Expedition
-Intentional sabotage of the Expedition (defined as strategic choices blatantly likely to reduce the Expedition's chance of success- eg suicidal behaviour)
-Any attempt to violate any other rules set out in this agreement


Usage of Functional Loot
Any Functional Loot (eg equipment, consumables) obtained during the expedition may be used to further the expedition if all entities agree. Consumables used this way will not be counted towards the total Loot at the end of the expedition, even if they only affected one Hunter (eg a healing potion used on one member will be considered to have been to the equal advantage of all members of the Expedition).


Parting Ways
After each encounter, any member of the Expedition may choose to withdraw to Town rather than continue. When doing so, they will take any non-functional Loot obtained on the Expedition thusfar with them, which will be divided according to the Division of Loot section above. They will then be removed from this contract.
   -Should the Expedition be in possession of Functional Loot, then any entities choosing to continue may request that said items remain with the Expedition to bolster forwards progress. However, the returning entity/ies must be compensated with a portion of the value of such items according to their Loot Share (eg, if the expedition chose to retain a healing potion worth ₹1.20 (₹1.00 resale value+20%), and the returning entity had a Loot Share of 5/10, they would receive ₹0.60 from the continuing entity). Functional Loot that does not remain with the Expedition will be brought home and divided as normal.
No member may choose to split from the others yet still continue exploring, because trying to figure out how to divide the Loot before returning it to town sounds like a nightmare. You either stick with the group or go home.

The resale value+20% is an attempt to estimate the 'true' value of items, since the resale value is only the true value if nobody has any use for it. The number could be adjusted. Oh, I forgot to add a clause about the contract being changable with all parties' consent.

Anyway, this is basically what we'd propose if OMR chooses to join us. If we go solo, no contract will be needed, obvs.

Quote from: Contract of Expedition Comradery

The undersigned Orders agree to mutually beneficial alliance of Hunters for the purpose of an Expedition to

• Darremont' Bell

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, and to respect the noble animals for which NOCOF is named.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split evenly among the remaining party members. 

Orders who wish to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the members turning back are entitled to no more than their percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition.  In the event a member cannot obtain their full share of the loot in this case - whether due to encumbrance or some other reason - they likewise forfeit whatever share they are unable to recover.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the loots value to return the equipment, regardless.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loots value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

All involved Orders are obligated to transfer the results of an encounter to the other Orders, in full, at the start of the turn.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 24 hours.

The following orders agree to bring the listed Hunters and equipment:

NOCOF:
-Hunter "Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight"
--Alert Tripmine
--Padded Vest
--Bandit Dagger
--Throwing Daggers

-Cancer Sidereo
--Hunters Shotgun
--Serrated Axe

Moonlight Redeemers
- Hunter "Moonlight Redeemer Holy Hunter"
--Padded Vest
--Dueling Cane
--Precision Carbine

This agreement may be edited with unanimous consent by all undersigned Orders.

~snip~

You only need to put ACTx3 on actions you want the GM to process.  Taking a loan from other players isn't something Draig needs to know about, specifically; even then, you'd want to make sure you include that last "T" so he can find your action when he looks through the thread.

You may also want to get some ranged weapon, considering your Hunter has some pretty good ranged stats.  May be a better use of your money than Weighted Gauntlets, tbh.

That being said, I do appreciate you're paying NOCOF twice, it's very kind of you :)

@Roboson

Loan Terms:
The Order of Moonlight Redeemers shall loan an amount of 1.5 sovereigns to Roboson, pending agreement of both parties. The terms of this loan are as follows:
Each turn following issuance (starting next turn), the loan shall accrue 10% in interest. This interest is not compounding, and shall be based off the current principle owed. Any payments shall go to interest first, before reducing principle. Due to the nature of expeditions, no payment is due until the debtor has had their forces return from the first expedition, though interest shall continue to accrue.

Non-liquid assets are acceptable as payment, and will be valued at the market price. In case of default, debtor's assets  up to current loan amount shall be put into service of the Order of Moonlight Redeemers, and the debtor shall receive a 30% cut of profits generated by their use or sale, rounded down. The debt shall be considered paid at this time, and the debtor can purchase back indentured assets for market market value.

Loan interest is not to exceed 40% of expidition earnings.

^꧁Turn 2^꧂

@MoonlightRedeemers: sends Zeal Under Moonlight on an Expedition to Darremont's Bell, as an ally to the NOCOF group.

@Roboson: successfully bids ₹1.16 for a wooden hammer and a brace of throwing daggers. In addition, they also win candidate A5290-8, who they reintroduce to the world as Big Waltz.

@OALM: sends Fylakas alone on an Expedition to Darremont's Bell.

@NOCOF:  sends Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight and the mercenary Cancer Sidereo on an Expedition to Darremont's Bell.

---

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

The slumbering near-death of Darremont's Bell is broken by the staccato fire of Zeal Under Moonlight's precision carbine and the deeper booms of Fylakas' shotguns. While neither expedition has penetrated far into the outskirts, the flutter of tenebrous pigeon wings returning to the HQs of NOCOF and OALM respectively indicate that there are at least some survivors on both expeditions.

While the details of said letters are private to the expedition, leaks and rumors detail battle against roving bands of Rotten - those weakest few infected by moonlight, desiring nothing more than to survive. Their curse granted their wish, in a twisted manner.  Its energy keeps them at the very edge of death, angry and in pain, driven utterly mad by the ravages of disease and their curse's more insidious mental effects. Human and animal both fill in the ranks of the rotten, the former are at their most dangerous when they retain a few memories of their life, while the latter can be devastating when the scale and strength of beast is stripped of an animal's sense of fear.

While only those on the expedition have the details on the creatures they encountered, it seems clear that Darremont's Bell has a considerable infestation of the Rotten.

The Town itself has... changed. The outlying farmsteads have been burned to the ground or torn apart by the infected, but the town itself has been strangely well preserved against the purifying flame that was brought against the Lunar infection in the days when the Empire was still cohesive enough to fight. Lunacite, a crystal that grows under the light of the corrupted moon in places where blood has been spilled, now glitters out of every darkened corner like a hundred scattered will-o-the-wisps. Useful as a thaumaturgic reagent and as a source of insight into the Curse, its value is offset by how the streets it infests seem to twist and whisper. Maps of Darremont's Bell now seem worthless, as the once well-planned cobbled streets seem to no longer lead where logic and the rules of science would dictate.

Minor Clarification: Princes, Dukes, and Sovereigns gained as loot can be immediately added to your money pool once the Hunters return. All other loot must be sold at the store publically.

Quote from: Hunter Rental

Master Carcarias of Ordo Mercenariorum and Johannes "Hank" Strauss of Honest Hank's Hunter Hideout (henceforth referred to as the Noble Lender) agree to provide The Noble Order of Crab, Owl and Fox (henceforth referred as the Noble Client) with the services of

• Hunter B002 (A.K.A. Cancer Sidereo)

equipped with

• (1) Hunter Shotgun
• (1) Serrated Axe

for the length of

• (1) Expedition.

The Hunter(s) will follow all directions and commands of the Noble Client during the Expedition. All Expenses are to be paid by Noble Client. In exchange, the Noble Client shall pay to the Noble Lender a fee of ₹0.30 the first turn of the Expedition and ₹0.80 for each subsequent turn, up to a cap of 33% of the Noble Client's share of the salvaged goods and items of value recovered during the Expedition.  The Noble Client may pay the Noble Lender their share of the salvaged goods and items with any combination of Sovereigns and loot gained during this Expedition, provided the payment is equal to or greater than the amount owed.  Loss of a rented item shall incur a fee equal to its value from the Noble Client.

It is understood that Expeditions carry a risk. However, death of the Hunter resulting from reckless endangerment, defined by actions similar in kind to pushing forward despite crippling wounds/lack of supplies, negligence, or blatantly suicidal tactics, shall incur a fee of ₹3.00 from the Noble Client.

In consideration of the cyclical nature of Expeditions, it is agreed that rental payments can be suspended till the return of the Expedition or up to 4 turns after the signing of this agreement, whichever comes first.

AMENDMENT 1a:
The Noble Client is obligated to provide the Noble Lender with the full, unaltered report of the Expedition involving the Hunter listed above.   This report is to be provided promptly, at the Noble Client's earliest convenience.  Additionally, the Noble Lender agrees to maintain this report with confidentiality, and may not distribute, disclose, or allude to the contents to third parties without the express written approval of the Noble Client.  Failure by either party in this regard shall incur an immediate fee of ₹5.00 to the injured party.

Invasion Rule Alterations and Clarifications: The following text in the OP has been updated.

Quote

When you Invade, you are intentionally trying to pick a fight with another Hunter or group of Hunters who are already embarked. When you invade, there is a significant chance you won't find anyone and will embark on the expedition normally, but if you do find a target you'll enter during the start of their encounter, creating a 3-way fight between the Invader(s), the AI, and the original embarkers. If there are multiple invasion candidates, you will invade one at random and cannot specify any one group in particular. You can, however, specify groups that you will immediately back off from if you invade. This, however, can lead to a very high chance of wasting your turn. In this case, you gain nothing, but can otherwise proceed as though you were victorious.

 If you invade a group that is on the first stage of their expedition, you will be able to continue as a normal expedition after you achieve victory. Otherwise, you will be forced to turn back immediately, attempt to invade again immediately, or begin a new expedition at stage 1, if you achieve victory. After a successful invasion, you will have access to all the loot from the encounter, as well as the loot they've uncovered thus far. As with a normal expedition, you can invade with others.

Post by: Draignean on May 02, 2021, 12:46:39 pm

TURNTURNTURN

^꧁Turn 3^꧂

@MoonlightRedeemers: Continues on their Darremont's Bell expedition, as an ally to the NOCOF group.

@Roboson:  sends 'Big' Waltz alone on an Expedition to Darremont's Bell.

@OALM: has Fylakas turn back from their Expedition and return to Town. Also successfully bids ₹0.59 on camping supplies.

@NOCOF: Orders Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight and the mercenary Cancer Sidereo to continue deeper into Darremont's Bell.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

'Big' Waltz is sent to embark to Darremont's bell by his patrons, sent of with a weapons silence and strength to smash a passage through the rotting town. Thankfully, that silent loadout does not prevent him from sending pigeons back to Town, notifying his patron of his progress.

Fylakas returns from expedition, bringing OALM the fruits of his expedition.

The joint Moonlight Redeemer and NOCOF venture, however, continues deeper into Darremont's bell. Pigeons still return on a regular basis, though perhaps fewer than before - as though there is perhaps less opportunity to write a message, or there are fewer people left to write them.

Rumor mongering paints a grim picture of the scene as the Hunters penetrate deeper into Darremont's bell. Stories speak of streets that have been rendered maze-like and corrupt as the very stone and timber of Darremont's Bell succumbs to the moon's sway, of lanterns lit now by foxfire flame as though the cursed take some pervese pride in tending their diseased city, and of more powerful and shadowy creatures that dwell in those inner streets.

Some are simply extensions of the Rotten already fought - individuals who retain some of their former equipment, martial skill, and enough intelligence to use both effectively. While such creatures are still among the least of the moon-cursed, their threat cannot be underestimated in numbers, or when providing support to their less intelligent peers.

Other rumors, however, bespeak much darker things. Lunacite grown up from mounds of the slaughtered or from massed graves, gaining intelligence and a malevolent life of its own. Hushed whispers and stories spread in half-lit backrooms tell of horse-sized creatures with limbs of razor-edged crystal, equal parts spider and shrike, impaling and collecting all who cross their path so that they can bask in the moonlight and grow larger still off the fresh blood of their prey.

ACTACTACT: Big Waltz will return home to town.

A letter by raven reaches the other hunters.

Quote from: A Mysterious Request

Dear Fellow Hunter,

I will soon be looking to purchase ✢Antiquarian Map Fragments✢ above the current rate.

Big Waltz will return in one turn hence the receipt of this letter. At which point, debts will be repaid and Robo Corp will once again be a debt-free organization and able to purchase several fragments.

All interested parties should contact Robo Corp immediately.

Thanks,

Robo

Robo Corp officially and publicly denounces and shames "Goro and Co" as a business of shoddy demeanor, predatory business practices in the face of kindness, and of having customer service on par with that of a rotten hound.

Robo Corp official boycotts any services provided by Goro and Co, and politely asks others to do the same.

For shame Goro and Co, for shame.

Looking ahead, Roboson indicated that his hunter is unharmed, and he would be interested in joining OALM on its expedition next turn. Here's my suggestion for a joint expedition contract:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Quote from: Expedition Cooperation Agreement

The undersigned entities, Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica and Robo Corp, hereby agree to a joint expedition to Darremont's Bell.


Funding and Equipment
Each entity agrees to fund their Hunter(s) individually, including travel costs.
These being:
   -Fylakas (OALM)
   -Keravnos (OALM)
   -Big Waltz (Robo)


Division of Loot
Any resources, currency, or other valuables gained in the course of the joint expedition (Loot) will be split between the undersigned entities in the following ratio:
  2 Shares Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica
  1 Shares Robo Corp
By default, all Loot will be sold to the store, and the resulting funds split according to the above ratio. If an entity wishes to retain an item, they may 'buy' the item from the Loot starting at the resale price, with other entities having the option of bidding a higher amount if desired. It is allowed for an entity to 'buy' items this way with its share of the loot (eg, if the loot pile has a total value of ₹8.00, and Order Examplis (loot share 50%) wishes to retain an item worth ₹4.00, they may 'buy' it by giving up their loot share, rather than manually putting ₹4.00 into the Loot, and then immediately getting ₹4.00 back).
The value of unsellable items, should any be gained, will be negotiated. If no agreement can be reached, the unsellable item will be auctioned to a third party, and the revenue from the sale added to the Loot.


Usage of Functional Loot
Any Functional Loot (eg equipment, consumables) obtained during the expedition may be used to further the expedition if all entities agree. Consumables used this way will not be counted towards the total Loot at the end of the expedition, even if they only affected one Hunter (eg a healing potion used on one member will be considered to have been to the equal advantage of all members of the Expedition).


In the Event of Casualties
Should a Hunter be killed during the expedition, the remaining members of the expedition must do their utmost to return the deceased's equipment to the owner. If the owner agrees, said equipment may be used by other members of the expedition until their return to town. The owner may also insist that the Expedition return to Town immediately.


Parting Ways
After each encounter, any member of the Expedition may choose to withdraw to Town rather than continue. When doing so, they will take any non-functional Loot obtained on the Expedition thusfar with them, which will be divided according to the Division of Loot section above. They will then be removed from this contract.
   -Should the Expedition be in possession of Functional Loot (obtained during the expedition), then any entities choosing to continue may request that said items remain with the Expedition to bolster forwards progress. However, the returning entity/ies must be compensated with a portion of the value of such items according to their Loot Share (eg, if the expedition chose to retain a healing potion worth ₹1.00, and the returning entity had a Loot Share of 50%, they would receive ₹0.50 from the continuing entity). Functional Loot that does not remain with the Expedition will be brought home and divided as normal.
No member may choose to split from the others yet still continue exploring, because trying to figure out how to divide the Loot before returning it to town sounds like a nightmare. You either stick with the group or go home.


Rules
The following actions are not permitted. Performing any such action will result in the forfeiture of all Loot Share and a fine of ₹5.00:
-Betrayal of the Expedition
-Intentional sabotage of the Expedition (defined as strategic choices intended to reduce the Expedition's chance of success- eg suicidal or excessively cowardly behaviour)
-Any attempt to violate any other rules set out in this agreement


Amendments
This contract may be amended, or deviated from temporarily, with the unanimous consent of all undersigned parties.


Signatories
On behalf of Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica:
- [not signed yet, for negotiation purposes only]
On behalf of Robo Corp:
-

If anyone else has an uninjured Hunter coming back this turn, a four-man expedition might be worth it if it lets us push into encounter 3 of Darremont's Bell.

E: Apparently Roboson had already promised to go on an expedition with NOCOF. The offer remains on the table, if anyone else has a hunter who will be ready to go next turn.

If you're paying upfront, the cost is ₹4.3, or ₹4.2 if you provide OALM with a small piece of intel (I've already sent you the question on Discord). eS was unwilling to consider any sort of markup on the price, however.

Yes, we have evidence that you agreed to a non-marked up price for the fragment.

Uh. Okay, let's assume for a moment that I forgot about doing so, and you do have this evidence. That still wouldn't change anything. I can change the price if I want to. Unless I hit my head so hard that I forgot about signing a contract agreeing to sell the fragment for ₹4.00. 

E: Also, NOCOF has already made a bid using up all of their money (or possibly more money than they have). So they clearly don't intend to contribute ₹2 to your attempt to buy the fragment.

This is a friendly PSA. If you have somehow gained a hold of more money than is apparent from your actions in thread. (Quite easy, given the prevalence of back room deals) You should either pre-emptively be sending me the information on how you got it, or prepared to answer to an audit.

Failure to pass an audit means you will not get your item, and you may suffer other consequences.

Addendum: I greatly prefer player-player transactions to remain in the thread when possible. I do, however, acknowledge the necessity for them to sometimes be more discrete.

From Discord, it is clear that Doomblade legitimately expects OALM to sell the fragment at cost. Which is not happening.
I consider the negotiations concluded.

NOCOF accepts!  Thanks Robo :)

And special thanks to Nuke for glancing at our books - we could have gotten into some serious trouble when Draig audited and found us short, that was a close one.  We misaccounted an Expedition cost -_-

^꧁The Hunter's Haven^꧂

The items brought back by the Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica cause quite a stir, with various samples and artifacts being snatched up by interested parties. Despite the dangerous nature of the items, there are few left who still feel enough trepidation to resist the urge to experiment with such choice materials. While there are some tales of horrible accidents retold by town criers, the sum total of the investigation yields fruit.

New Mechanic: As you sell off items to the store, you will unlock Alchemy and Crafting recipes. These objects are always available and can be taken instantly, provided you have the materials to fabricate them.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

The town of Darremont's Bell becomes unusually silent as the last of the new Hunters departs. Screams of man and howl of beast, firearm shot and clatter of baser arms, all abate as a waiting quiet descends once more. Not a full silence nor a true stillness, but something akin to a man leaving the screaming grips of a Night Terror for the comparative peace of fitful sleep.

Right. OALM intends to head back to Darremont's Bell this turn, sending Fylakas and Keravnos. I think it could be worth it for up to two other hunters to join the expedition, if anyone is interested. (With the intention of pushing into the third encounter)

Quote from: Contract of Expedition Comradery

The undersigned Orders agree to mutually beneficial alliance of Hunters for the purpose of an Expedition to

• Darremont' Bell

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, to respect the noble animals for which NOCOF is named, and to strive at all times to restore the Empire to its former mechanical glory.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split fairly among the remaining members. 

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 36 hours.
• Deliberately under-equipping a Hunter on this Expedition.
• Instigating the death of a Hunter sent on this Expedition in order to obtain an unfair loot percentage.

The following orders agree to bring the listed Hunters and equipment:

NOCOF:
-Hunter "Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight"
->Padded Vest
->Weighted Warscythe
->Throwing Daggers
->Lucky Coin



This agreement may be edited with unanimous consent by all undersigned Orders.

We do loans! (Very reasonable rates, non-compounding)

I'll take a loan.

How much?

Here's the offer - toss me 3, and I'll pay you 25% of whatever I get on expeditions up to 6 coins worth - after that, the loan is paid in full. I can pay more then that amount to fulfill the debt requirement and clear it early.

Unfortunately, the bank has closed the loan office due to the fact that I just spend all our capital on ammunition. I suggest working with roboson. They just got a second hunter and teaming with them would be very profitable.

Quote from: Contract of Expedition Comradery

The undersigned Orders agree to mutually beneficial alliance of Hunters for the purpose of an Expedition to

• Darremont' Bell

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, to respect the noble animals for which NOCOF is named, and to strive at all times to restore the Empire to its former mechanical glory.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split fairly among the remaining members. 

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 36 hours.
• Deliberately under-equipping a Hunter on this Expedition.
• Instigating the death of a Hunter sent on this Expedition in order to obtain an unfair loot percentage.

The following orders agree to bring the listed Hunters and equipment:

NOCOF:
-Hunter "Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight"
->Padded Vest
->Weighted Warscythe
->Throwing Daggers
->Lucky Coin

OALM:
-Hunter "Fylakas"

So... I can write a contract for the expedition to hire Cancer Sidero, but who do I address it to? rule by committee might be a mess, so ideally one of you should take charge. (as discussed elsewhere, for fairness reasons for the purposes of fees and loot the Cancer would still be considered hired by the expedition as a whole, rather than to a specific party within). It would also be useful if you had a representative, so as to only get one signature rather than tons.

Does this sound good?

Quote from: Hunter Rental

Master Carcarias of Ordo Mercenariorum and Johannes "Hank" Strauss of Honest Hank's Hunter Hideout (henceforth referred to as the Noble Lenders) agree to provide The Expedition leaving this turn (henceforth referred as the Noble Client) with the services of

• Hunter Cancer Sidereo

equipped with

• (1) Hunter Shotgun
• (1) Serrated Axe

for the length of

• (1) Expedition.

The Hunter(s) will follow all directions and commands of the Noble Client during the Expedition. All Expenses are to be paid by Noble Client. In exchange, the Noble Client shall pay to the Noble Lenders a fee structured as follows:
-The base fee shall be based on the loot received, equivalent to half a share of the loot (to clarify: when distributing loot, the mercenary will count as 0.5. In an expedition with 6 hunters, the total loot would be divided by 5.5 (5 full members and one mercenary) to obtain the per share loot, and the Noble lender gets half that value)
-A minimum fee will apply, growing as the expedition gets deeper. First turn incurs 0.5 sovereigns , each turn the fee paid increases by 0.5 guineas. Regardless of the length of the expedition, the return turn will only accumulate 0.5 sovereign of minimum fee. (To clarify: for a minimal expedition with one combat round, minimum fee is 0.5+0.5=1. 2 combat rounds, 0.5 +1 +0.5 =2, 3 rounds 0.5.+1+1.5+0.5 =3.5). This ensures appropriate compensation for risk taken
-A maximum fee, equal to a 0.75 share of the loot (calculated as described in the base fee section). This will be the absolute cap that the minimum fee can't  exceed. This is to ensure that the Noble client doesn't overpay.


It is understood that Expeditions carry a risk. However, death of the Hunter resulting from reckless endangerment, defined by actions similar in kind to pushing forward despite crippling wounds/lack of supplies, negligence, or blatantly suicidal tactics, shall incur a fee of ₹4.00 from the Noble Client.
In absence of reckless endangerment, Death of Cancer Sidereo will incur a fee of 2 sovereign. All fees accumulated to that point shall still be paid, but no fees past that point will accumulate.

The Noble Client is obligated to provide the Noble Lenders with the full, unaltered reports of the Expedition involving the Hunter listed above. These reports are to be provided promptly, at the Noble Client's earliest convenience.  Additionally, the Noble Lender agrees to maintain this report with confidentiality, and may not distribute, disclose, or allude to the contents to third parties without the express written approval of the Noble Client. All parties present in the report or otherwise having access to it are not considered third parties.  Failure by either party in this regard shall incur an immediate fee of ₹5.00 to the injured party.

I've added Addendum 1a.  Most key here is that the expedition fees need to get paid - Midnight Redeemers, NOCOF, and Roboson are all more-or-less broke, and OaLM can't be reached for comment.  The expense will still be covered by the client, we just need some wiggle room to get out the door here.

It also gives the other players the chance to object to this contract I'm accepting on their behalf.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split fairly among the remaining members. 

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 36 hours.
• Deliberately under-equipping a Hunter on this Expedition.
• Instigating the death of a Hunter sent on this Expedition in order to obtain an unfair loot percentage.

^꧁Turn 5^꧂

@MoonlightRedeemers: Zeal Under Moonlight is given an intensive series of medical treatments that blend the boundary between magical healing and medical sciences, healing the wounds they received during their last expedition. The Redeemers also use a strange gem on Zeal Under Moonlight, which crumbles to dust after a brief flash of light. After these actions, Zeal Under moonlight is sent out along with the largest expedition of Hunters ever assembled.

@NOCOF: Bids ₹0.1 on a lucky coins and wins it. They also successfully bid ₹3 on Candidate P0-2635, re-annointed Mace Hawkshire after his conditions stabilizes.  Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight is re-equipped with a warscythe and sent to join the Grand Expedition, along with the contracted mercenary Cancer Sidero.

@Roboson:  Sells a number of items back into the market, stimulating a renewed interest in the various refinements of pure Lunacite. Volunteered as an ammo mule, among other things, Big Waltz joins the grand expedition.

@OALM: As the final, and potentially most elite members, Fylakas and Keravnos top off the grand expedition. Additionally, they finance the expedition fee of Cancer Sideros.

^꧁The Hunter's Haven^꧂

The items brought back by Robo Corp feed the appetite whetted by OALM, particularly with regards to the amount of pure Lunacite on display. The material, so close to the Curse's power, so steeped in magical energy and alchemical potential, has formed slowly over the years, and suddenly having such a rich supply being many a project to life that previously existed only as a feverish dream.

- Lunacite injection, flickering

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

Six Hunters are sent to Darremont's bell, the largest united expedition ever sent, and the moon touched land seems to react in kind. The whispers that always surround twisted outcrops of immobile rotten and lunacite intensify, becoming angry. Growns, howls, guttural snorts, and the too-human almost-screams of rage and pain from humanoid Rotten increase in intensity and number with each passing day. At night, Glowing shapes shift from roof-top to roof-top in jerky motions, with an unnerving speed and demeanor that makes that gives their half-seen forms a demeanor like spiders made from motes of light.

The town is reacting. While the letters sent back by pigeon from the Hunters universally agree there is little resistance at the outskirts, they also note that things are changing. The moon is like an eye, staring angrily downwards, and more than one Hunter swears that they have seen new stars briefly come into being in the night sky like impossibly distant peepholes before fading back into the darkness.

Something is changing, and not for the better.

^꧁The Hunter's Haven^꧂

For the moment, it seems no new breakthroughs are made - despite numerous individuals puzzling over the peculiar nature of the brain retrieved on Roboson's expedition. While the results of its analsys were certainly fascinating, the techniques were sufficiently destructive that a new specimen will be required for any sort of rapid advancement in understanding.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

Rain begins to fall on Darremont's bell. While the cloudcover offers some respite from the glaring moon and watching eyes of the false-stars, there is something unnatural about this weather - as though the sky conspires to become a cavernous tomb. Grey and turbulent skies loom down, fog and slicing sheets of rain cut visibility seemingly at random, all working together to create a claustrophobia that should not be able to exist under the sky.

Worst is the light. Even in the day, the glowing growths of lunacite that barnacle Darremont's Bell now cast all in a spectral glow of alien flame - with the rain and fog serving to diffuse the glow and grant it an evil flicker, while the clouds above seem to amplify and reflect the glow.

The howls and screams of the city continue to grow, reacting along with the malevolent and liquid sky to the group of intruders that now plunders ever more deeply into the near-dead slumber of the moon-cursed city.

The careful reader, however, can cross-reference the reports sent back by the Noble Order of the Crab, Owl, and Fox's second expedition. While that Hunter does not the distant howling, and works with steel and bolt beneath the same corrupted firmament, they note that the angry voice of the moon-touched always seem distant, and they report much milder and fewer strange outbursts from the sky above.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

The unseen moon seems to feed the storm, giving it an unholy energy the effects of which are reported in sodden letters sent back by the Hunters within Darremont. The Sky burns above, with a savagery and color that the roiling fans of lightning along cannot explain. Screams of the near-dead and wholly maddened denizens of Darremont compete with the peal of thunder, and above all is heard the toll of the great bell of Darremont.

Beyond the weather, the letters describe an... infestation of Lunacite that has grown up within the heart of Darremont. The skittering, spiderlike creatures of crystal, corpses, and malice have been sighted and fought - but suggestions of other creatures have been seen within the rainy darkness. Things near-human, and smaller beasts which chitter in dark places like cats calling out to songbirds who dare to take the low branches.

Suggestions and hints say that the expedition has reached the very heart of Darremont's Bell, but at a terrible cost.

TURNTURNTURN

^꧁Turn 8^꧂

OALM, M???ight Redeemers, and NOCOF camp out in Darremont's Bell. Which is wet and terrifying. Zeal briefly contemplates charging forwards and finishing this along, but is eventually brought into line.
NOCOF: Additionally uses a shining blue stone on Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight, which crumbles to dust.
M???ight Redeemers: reload Zeal's rifle from stockpiles, and restore his wounds through the use of an Undying Splint.
OALM: Restores 1 wound to both Fylakas and Keravnos by camping

Blue The Magus: Jackson Whyley returns from expedition

NOCOF: Mace Hawkshire rests in town and recuperates from his injuries..

M1895: Bids ₹0.45 for a Padded Vest, winning it.

		Name:	Padded Vest
		Encumbrance:	2	|	Consumable:	No
		Passive:	+Toughness

       Description: A modest gambeson constructed from linen stuffed with horsehair, covering the torso fully and the limbs out to the elbow and knee. The outer fabric has been intentionally stained and mottled into a variety of dark colors, giving it an unattractively leprous pattern in the light, but providing an effective camouflage in the shadows.

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂

The small supply of additional reagents provided by the Noble Order of the Crab, Owl, and Fox is greatly welcomed by the experimentalists - but the small supply does little to satiate the hunger for information in the air. The expedition to Darremont's bell has paused, and even among the lowest castes who work in the deep caverns of the Haven there is rampant speculation as to the fate of the Hunters. Is this the dramatic pause before Heroism, or is it the false flash of life and energy that is sometimes seen in the most terminally ill before death claims them?

Sadly, there is little that can be done. Any fragmentary letters only serve to whet the keen deserves of the public, and news from the outer reaches provided by Jackson and Mace is no balm at all.

One way or another, this Hunger will resolve soon.

Mace Hawkshire is looking to explore Darremont's Bell a second time.  Would anyone like to go with him?  He has a Bandit Dagger and can pay his own Expedition Fee, but that's about it.

Quote from: Lease-Buy

Johannes, 'Hank' Strausse lends ₹0.9 to Master Carcharias to purchase the Bandit Dagger. There will be a 10% rental fee per turn until the loan is paid off, whenever that may be.

Agreed:
- Johannes Strausse
- Master Carcarias

So, now I have 1.68 sovereign, plus 0.24 in lunacite chips.

Would you like to partner up for an expedition, get to stage 2?

Title: Re: Ventures By Moonlight | A Semi-Cooperative Dark Fantasy
Post by: andrea on May 09, 2021, 04:32:28 pm

I am tempted. What is your hunter equipped with? at the moment I only have very basic gear, which I don't expect to do well in stage 2, unless your hunter can carry quite a bit of weight.

Our man has a Bandit Dagger and very good stats all around.

My man has a bandit dagger, an hand crossbow and the same stats as your, more or less.

I don't like our chances at stage 2, sorry. I'd rather go solo stage 1 this time.

OALM, M???ight Redeemers, and NOCOF continue deeper into Darremont's Bell.

Blue The Magus: Jackson Whyley takes a well-deserved rest while in Haven.

NOCOF: Mace Hawkshire is sent back out into the outskirts of Darremont's Bell.

Andrea: Anoints their candidate that they definitely bought last round, buys out the Bandit Dagger for ₹1.18, and sends out the freshly christened Leo Sidereo into the outskirts of Darremont's Bell.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂
The storm that has been hovering over Darremont's bell in recent days seems to abate as quickly as it came. With one enormous peal of the great bell, the clouds begin to break up, and the moon stares down once more without veil. The city still feels malevolent and angry, but the power has clearly shifted. A blow has been struck, and, in contrast to a thousand other ill-fated attempts to fight back against the Lunacy, this one seems to have been felt.

This is not to say that Darremont's bell is any safer. If anything, the creatures that prowl the city's tangled streets seem ever more aggressive, actively seeking out Hunters to prey upon. While small groups of Hunters should still be able to slip around easily enough, larger expeditions will almost certainly encounter stiff resistance.

New Mechanic: Stealth threshold. Every expedition available has a Stealth Threshold that represents the maximum number of Hunters that can move without attracting unwanted suspicion. For every Hunter over this limit there is an increased chance of running into 'Frenzied' monsters. Frenzied monsters are more powerful than their ordinary counterparts, but do not provide any increased reward.

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂

Spontaneous drinking and festivities break out as letters return from Hunters in the field. While the exact details are not publically known, the grand expedition has been a success! They've struck deeply into the heart of an infected city, and have succeeded in prising a small  chunk of said heart away to study. For the first time in years, there is a fragile blossom of hope growing in the Haven. A struggle just to survive another day has now been given a glimpse that perhaps there truly are better days to come.

The goods brought back by Jackson Whyley are, unfortunately, met with partially inebriated experimentalists. While they give excellent prices, it's possible that their breakthroughs will be slightly delayed until the festive attitude brought on by the news from Darremont fades.

Quote from:  Loan Contract

Loan Contract

Robo Corp (RC) agrees to loan 6 Sov's worth of it's share of the loot from the "Big Expedition" to the Moonlight Reedeemers (MR). This amount is drawn from items of greatest value first, but never includes Antiquarian Fragments.

In exchange MR agrees to transfer ownership of their 2 antiquarian fragments (from loot share) to Robo Corp. The value of which is detracted from the value of the loan upon payment.

The interest rate on the loan is 10% per turn non-compounding. 

The purpose of this loan is to ensure each participating Order procures their desired loot from the expedition. In the case MR is outbid on the Martyn's Heart, RC's loot share is returned in full and the loan nullified. In the case the Antiquarian Fragments are not split among the members of the expedition, all loot shares are returned to their respective parties, and the loan nullified. In both cases, each party is restored in it's entirety to it's position before agreeing to this contract.

Both parties agree not to meddle in opposition to the procurement of the desired loot by the other party, or to act in such a way that may lead to the other party not acquiring their desired loot.

This contract is made in good faith both parties agree to the spirit of the contract, knowing that it was written quickly for the sake of expediency, and thusly agree to adhere to the spirit of the contract in case that a technical or wording error undermines that spirit.

Robo Corp is always looking to form good relationships with new players! We offer services to help equip hunters, in exchange for a share of loot from their expeditions, so that players may come to operate independently without taking on massive loans.

Quote from:  Loan Contract

Loan Contract

Robo Corp (RC) agrees to loan 6 Sov's worth of it's share of the loot from the "Big Expedition" to the Moonlight Reedeemers (MR). This amount is drawn from items of greatest value first, but never includes Antiquarian Fragments.

In exchange MR agrees to transfer ownership of their 2 antiquarian fragments (from loot share) to Robo Corp. The value of which is detracted from the value of the loan upon payment.

The interest rate on the loan is 10% per turn non-compounding. 

The purpose of this loan is to ensure each participating Order procures their desired loot from the expedition. In the case MR is outbid on the Martyn's Heart, RC's loot share is returned in full and the loan nullified. In the case the Antiquarian Fragments are not split among the members of the expedition, all loot shares are returned to their respective parties, and the loan nullified. In both cases, each party is restored in it's entirety to it's position before agreeing to this contract.

Both parties agree not to meddle in opposition to the procurement of the desired loot by the other party, or to act in such a way that may lead to the other party not acquiring their desired loot.

This contract is made in good faith both parties agree to the spirit of the contract, knowing that it was written quickly for the sake of expediency, and thusly agree to adhere to the spirit of the contract in case that a technical or wording error undermines that spirit.

Rule Changes/Updates Next Round

Spoiler: The Store and Bidding (click to show/hide)

Candidates are treated as T1 items for the purposes of up-bidding. That is, you must increase the bid by a minimum of ₹0.25 per bid.

Spoiler: Combat Mechanics (click to show/hide)

Sprinting
If a character doesn't fire a ranged attack in a round, they will break into a sprint. While sprinting, if the character passes a normal move check against an enemy (not a disengage) they can immediately make another check on the same target at a stacking 10% penalty to their success rate. Sprinting also grants a flat 20% increase to your chance to succeed on a normal move check.

If a character is immobile, that is they have a move chance of 0%, then they are unable to sprint.

Spoiler: Item Formatting (click to show/hide)

Formatting Changes

Gear Items
Pretty much all gear will now notated using the below format (click to expand),
(https://i.postimg.cc/0NxZ9ZDC/Consumable.png)
Most fields are as before. However, the 'Effect' text is in a new format. This is what tells you how to use an item, when it works, and how many times/how often it can work.

The first part 'Declare On Encounter Start' tells you WHEN something can be triggered. If it says 'Declare' that means you have to tell me that you're using it.

The second part, with the header 'Effect' is a short string that tells you what the item does in terms of exact mechanical effects.

APP% is for the Percent Chance to Apply. Some items may trigger infrequently, or only have a chance of granting some effects. This tells you what that chance is.
CHG is for charges. An effect uses a charge each time it activates, but different effect lines can have separate charge pools.
RE-CHG is for Recharge, and defines when an item regains lost charges, if ever.
DUR is for Duration, and measures how many combat rounds an effect lasts.
CD is for Cooldown, and measures how long, in combat rounds, it takes for an effect to be able to activated again after it has gone inactive.

THR is for Threshold. Some effects have to be successfully triggered multiple times before they take effect, and the threshold shows how many activations are needed before the effect activates.

---

Weapons
Weapons have undergone a format change as well, which is mostly just clutter reduction as seen below. (click to expand)
(https://i.postimg.cc/pTMgKKwG/Rifle-Spear.png)
Melee weapons have their key stats broken into 4 shorthand fields.

DAM is for Damage, and is how many wounds a weapon inflicts.
ATK is Attacks, and is how many bonus attacks you get in melee in addition to those provided by your alacrity.
STR is the bonus the weapon provides to your strength when attacking.
AP- is the amount of Armor Penetration a weapon has.

Ranged weapons are very similar, with their key values being,

DAM is for Damage, and is how many wounds a weapon inflicts.
ATK is Attacks, and is the minimum number of attacks the weapon makes.
ATK+ is Variable Attacks, and is a dice rolll to determine additional attacks.
STR is Strength, and is the strength value that the ranged weapon uses to contest toughness.
AP- is the amount of Armor Penetration a weapon has.
CAP is Capacity, and represents the ammo pool of a weapon.

Ranged brackets are unchanged.

Certain weapons will, like gear, also have passive or triggerable effects. Those effects are notated in exactly the same way as they are for gear items.

Spoiler: Debuffs (click to show/hide)

Debuffs In General
A debuff is essentially a triggerable status effect that you can add you an enemy, currently only by hitting them with a weapon that grants debuffs. Debuffs are broken up into broad classes, like 'Poison' or 'Burning'. In general, debuffs within the same broad type will behave in roughly the same way. Bleed debuffs will deal damage when the target moves or attacks, slow decreases mobility and weapon skill, burning does damage over time, etc. However, importantly, a unit can never have more than one debuff of the same Type. If two debuffs of the same type would be applied to the enemy, then the stronger debuff will overwrite the weaker. If the two are of equal strength, but different, then the oldest debuff wins and the new one is ignored. If the same debuff would be added to a unit already under that debuff, then the duration of that debuff is refreshed.

0 Duration debuffs always have the trigger type 'On Debuff' and will apply their debuff effect immediately once, and then expire.

Where Debuffs Show Up
The following is an example item with a passive effect string, a debuff on its melee attack, and a separate debuff on its ranged attack. (Click to Expand)
(https://i.postimg.cc/x85hDCs9/unknown.png)
The blue highlighted segment is the weapon's passive triggerable effect, which works the same as any gear item. The important part of this is the two sections highlighted in green. Each of those references a different debuff, and provides the simplest information about what kind of Debuff it is, and what its subname is within its type.

In order to make weapons less cluttered, the list of currently known debuffs is stored the second post of this thread, with the Beastiary. Debuff detail data is shown as, (Click to Expand)
(https://i.postimg.cc/SKXnnY8t/unknown2.png)
Debuffs are sorted in the list by type first, then by the individual names. The italic block slightly below and to the right of the debuff name is that stat block of the debuff itself.

STR: Is the strength of the debuff. Rather than being used to contest toughness, this determines which debuffs within its type it can override. Higher strength debuffs usually have stronger effects.
APP%: Same as for gear, this is the Chance to Apply. When striking with a debuff-bearing weapon this is the chance to apply the debuff to the enemy.
DUR: The Duration of the debuff marker applied
TRH: Threshold, same as for gear. Some debuffs need to hit multiple times for the debuff to activate.
HIT: This is one of the most important parts of the debuff, and it is what kind of hit can apply a debuff. It comes in 4 grades, Damage, Block+, Graze+, and Miss+. If it's damage, then the debuff is only applied if you deal damage. If it's Block+, then the debuff can still be applied even if the enemy passes their armor save. If it's Graze+, then the debuff can be applied even if your weapon fails to overcome enemy toughness. If it's Miss+, then the debuff can still apply even when you entirely miss with the attack.

The Inner section of the Debuff can be read exactly as a gear effect. As long as the debuff is active, then the struck enemy will have any and all effects and triggers on this inner list applied to them.

Never two alike, 'Bandit Dagger' is a colloquialism for any large hand blade that had been re-tooled for use as a combat weapon. Lightened cleavers, sharpened training rods, straightened garden sickles - any straight source of metal that can be trusted to take an edge and mostly keep it in battle. While typically outclassed by any purpose-forged weapon, they are quick to strike and quite dangerous in the right hands.

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂
Despite having suffered 33% casualties on their expedition, the Great Expedition returns triumphant. Bearing artifacts in plenty, to be dispersed as their respective Doctors see fit, the most important artifact by far is the peculiar black stone, the Dendral Lunalith, salvaged from the very heart of Darremont's Bell and pried from Martyn the Betrayer's undying grip. While the other artifacts are certainly prized, and the automaton crafters and biochemists are able to draw up some innovative designs using the new materials, it is the Lunalith itself that draws the brightest minds and the most dizzied of discussion.

Unlocked
-Rotten Servitor Spider

The experimentation on the black stone is exceedingly cautious at first, but it soon becomes readily apparent that damaging the stone will be far more difficult than its glassy and partially melted surface would indicate. The stone is capable of absorbing an enormous amount of energy, radiating it back outwards over time as singing vibrations and occasional swells of prismatic color. The behavior makes it confoundingly difficult to study, and the initial gentleness of the probing is replaced with cursing and academic ire when the sharpest of probes fails to scratch its surface and any thread of thaumaturgy directed into it that grows to more than a whisper in strength is immediately devoured.

Still, the black stone is the greatest chance for a breakthrough in combatting the curse that anyone in Haven can remember since... well since the world broke apart. The Lunalith being 'impossible' to study isn't going to stop anyone.

The report finally delivered to the assembled Doctors and their Hunters is colored by a mix of frustration and pride. The pair of artifabrians who deliver the report are old, but spry with the energy of discovery and alike as mirrors.

Orum, the elder, speaks first, sketching out a rough picture of the Lunalith's irregular sphere on the smoothed cavern wall using a piece of chalk. "The material of the sphere is... unknown. Comparative analysis shows it's similar enough to obsidian glass, though the index of refraction is considerably off - not beyond the bounds of impurity, but highly irregular. Heat transfer is closer to metallic, though its 'eccentricities' foul high-temperature tests. Attempts to verify its composition via other methods have been... fruitless. It has proven quite invincible to physical damage, and it devours any high energy emanations directed it, whether they be radiant or magical." The old scientist makes notes as he speaks, listing off various tests that have been undertaken and their results. 'Inconclusive' makes an appearance a disheartening number of times.

Arghen, the younger twin, picks up immediately as Orum moves to write in the final notes. "Thus, since our tests couldn't reveal anything about the stone, we focused on how the Lunalith is protecting itself." Orum trades the chalk back to the other greybeard, who immediately sketches a wobbly line around the picture of the Lunalith. "We ramped up impact testing, magically bombarded it, doused it with acid, set it on fire, and even used a small shaped charge in an attempt to blow a chunk off. Whether we used moonlight or pyromancy, diamond-tipped surgical lances or a rifle round, the protections stopped us. An uncanny defense for something that isn't connected to a power source. Which got us thinking." Arghen stops in the middle of drawing stick-figure illustrations of all the horrifying ways that he and the rest of Haven's best and brightest had courted destruction, turning back to the doctors.

"What if it isn't protecting itself?" Orum says, filling for his brother without a beat.

Arghen nods, erasing the 'protective' line he'd placed around the illustration of the lunalith with his sleave. "Indeed. Imagine that all you have to test with is water, everything is different kinds of water. Saltwater, sewage water, muddy water, your whole world is just water. Then you come across a duck." The Artifabrian draws a duck inside the large circle his brother drew to represent the Lunalith.

"The Lunalith isn't protecting itself. From the perspective of whatever reality it's from, it's completely inert. What it is doing, however, is redirecting energy from our reality as effortlessly as beads of water on a duck's wing." Orum steps forward, taking the chalk from his 'little' brother and adding lines to indicate the lunalith drawing in energy and pushing it somewhere, indicated by a question mark. "From the descriptions provided by the surviving Hunters, it once was focusing, and potentially transmuting, this energy before sending it somewhere else. It no longers appears to have a destination connected, as all energy it receives is dispersed more or less harmlessly in short order. Two explanations. One, it was disconnected when the Hunter's took it from its cradle, and two -"

 "Whatever is behind the Cursed Moon disconnected it remotely, in order to prevent us from finding it or using the stone as a way to channel an attack instead," Arghen finishes. "This, at first, seemed a dead end. We have the Lunalith, but if it has been cut off it's useless, and if it needs to be placed in Darremont..." The elderly man shudders. "I don't think the staunchest of Hunter could hold back the tide long enough for us to continue our investigation."

"Inspiration, however, comes from the strangest sources," Orum cuts back in, a grin crinkling his elderly face. "One of our apprentices was helping lay new minecart track down in the lower levels of Haven, and she noted the workers coordinated hammer blows on the same rail-spike to make the work go faster. One goes heave -"

" and strikes, then the other goes ho -"

"and strikes!"

Both of the old artificers now seem electric with energy, to the point where one might expect the grips of the early stages of lunacy but for the sheer joy in their expressions.  They look between the assembled Doctors and Hunters to see who's following along, and seem to deflate slightly when they note most of the Hunters (at least) still scratching their heads.

Arghen sighs. "The point is that Darremont's Bell, while... tragic, and a terrible loss, is hardly the grandest place claimed by the Cursed Moon. So if it was worth harvesting power from, then other places are as well - and these stones needed to be able to coordinate the pulses they sent so they wouldn't collide at their destination." 

"And while this Lunalith may have been disconnected from the destinations, it was not disconnected from its brothers and sisters." Orum moves forward again with the chalk, adding a short line to each side of the Sphere's outline.  "Even in the complete absence of any testing on our part, there is a faint, but rhythmic pattern. One pulse that adds energy, and one pulse that takes it away."

"One heave and one ho. A communication from the prior stone in firing sequence, a pause, and then a connection to the next stone in firing sequence."

Orum goes over to a side table and picks up two leather-bound folders, filled with thick sheets of Haven's homegrown mushroom paper. "A before and an after, and we've tracked both," he says, passing out the eternally musty sheets of paper.

The first location isn't too surprising: the mountain city of Carn Feuerlyn. In the early days of the curse, there was some hope that it would arise as a new capital. In centuries past, its ancient halls were once mines that clawed into rich mineral deposits and clusters of exotic gems. The city grew out from around those mines, capitalizing on its enormous mineral wealth, and, with the advent of automaton crystal cores, an unceasing labor force. For now small span of time it was the scientific heart of the Empire, and its protected caverns had given it hope during the early days. The corruption of the machines, however, doomed it. Now what you know of Carn Feuerlyn is what you read from the infrequent scouts reports - a city patrolled by homicidal and self-modifying automata, with whatever small camps of survivors left gone completely silent.

The second location is more baffling. The map provided by the twins notes an area deep within The Twystwood, a fast cypress swamp that marked the edge of the Empire's control. It was always regarded as a savage place, filled with beastkin and monstrous creatures that had existed in dominance since primeval times. There were always rumors that there was some kind of beastkin city within, but those always seemed the fanciful tales of explorers who wanted to impress and awe with their exploits of daring-do. It's a daunting prospect, of both a difficult journey and of battle against creatures whose natural savagery inclines them to become some of the fiercest predators the Curst can produce.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

Jackson's Expedition to the edge of Darremont's bell seems almost calm by comparison to the expeditions that have just returned, and his pigeon-carried status reports arrive in a timely manner.

Never two alike, 'Bandit Dagger' is a colloquialism for any large hand blade that had been re-tooled for use as a combat weapon. Lightened cleavers, sharpened training rods, straightened garden sickles - any straight source of metal that can be trusted to take an edge and mostly keep it in battle. While typically outclassed by any purpose-forged weapon, they are quick to strike and quite dangerous in the right hands.

A combat axe redesigned with hunting moonbeasts in mind. Pain and shock have little effect on such creatures, so the head has been lengthened and scalloped into a series of brutal serrations. Utterly unnecessary except as a tool of intimidation against a mundane target, to capable of providing critically useful physical trauma and mutilation against the supernaturally robus.

A body-length spear of reinforced wood, with a large and peculiarly shaped blade affixed to the end, meant for both thrusting and swiping.  A lug two-thirds of the length up the spear's body can be pushed up and rotated like an abnormally large rifle bolt, shifting the spear blade up and out to expose the muzzle of a built-in rifle. The rifle is quite potent and carries a heavy powder charge, but the shape of the spear makes aiming at distance difficult and the sheer weight of the action makes loading a new cartridge difficult.

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion. The mainspring of the loading mechanism is somewhat unreliable, owing both to the inaccuracies of the golemcraft labor force and the relative cheapness in the material, and the rate of fire is somewhat inconsistent as a result.

May be willing to transfer this bid to someone else, depending on stuff, but wanted to get OALM's foot in.

(The money to place this bid comes from OALM's share of the Big Expedition loot. I will post an updated asset spoiler later)

^꧁Loot Division of the Big Expedition^꧂

Yeah that's right I used the fancy text for that

Here's how the loot from the Big Expedition is divided:

ACTACTACT: The following loot is sold by the Expedition:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

108 Duke  =1.08
38 Prince   =3.8
3 Sovereign    =3
Dendral Lunalith    =10
Rotten Brain   =1.1
---------
Total =₹18.98

Andrea is paid ₹6.16 for the services of Cancer Sidero.
Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica is paid ₹0.5 for financing Cancer's embarkation cost

Each non-mercenary Hunter receives the following loot:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 Lunacite Shard
1 Rotten Heart
2 Antiquarian Map Fragments
5 Lunacite Fragments
2 Rotten Bones
18 Lunacite Chips
11 Rotten Skin

(OaLM, who contributed two Hunters, receives the above list twice)

These items were 'bought' by the following entities:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1 Martyn's Heart --- M?R
1 Dreamstone Annulus Fragment --- OALM
4 Lunacite Shard --- NOCOF
3 Antiquarian Map Fragment --- ROBO
3 Lunacite Fragment --- OALM
4 Rotten Bone --- ROBO
4 Lunacite Chip --- M?R
4 Rotten Skin --- NOCOF

This is how much each entity receives from or owes to the pot after all other loot is accounted for:
OaLM: ₹8.72
M?R: ₹-0.435
ROBO: ₹-0.78
NOCOF: ₹4.815

Roboson has already contributed ₹0.75 to the pot, and must contribute 0.03 more.
M?R has not contributed anything to the pot, unless I missed it, so must contribute ₹0.435

The division process is documented in the following spreadsheet, if you want to check my numbers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1X9ZBV7fVIOATUb2ZfkEgDpFvG_r2SwB3x0-DTBmF-eA/edit?usp=sharing

Post by: NUKE9.13 on May 13, 2021, 04:39:52 am

I offered to transfer OALM’s bid on E2667 to NOCOF. If you wanted them, you didn’t have to raise the bid. Furthermore, you already told me you don’t want E2667. You could’ve changed your mind, but it kinda feels like you expect me to raise our bid for them- that you bid on them with the sole intention of causing OALM grief. Do you even have the cash to make those bids?
I would also object to your characterisation of an offer to resolve the issue without getting into a big bid war as some sort of shakedown. I was asleep when the turn came out, so first-come-first-served is not a reasonable way of determining who gets a candidate.
Anyway.

ACTACTACT: OALM bids 4.5 sovs on Candidate X948-29

Title: Re: Ventures By Moonlight | A Semi-Cooperative Dark Fantasy | Always Recruiting
Post by: evictedSaint on May 13, 2021, 05:06:33 am

The fact of the matter remains that you can, will, and have forced a faction smaller than yours out of a bid.  Neither of us wanted to get involved in a bid war, but you saw a hunter you wanted and used your larger capital to force it.  Granted, when you came to us, you were asking for an "incentive" not to throw your weight against us, so I guess it's unfair for me to say you were asking for a "bribe" not to throw your weight against us.

It doesn't matter, I guess.  No one can really compete with you guys any more :(

A combat axe redesigned with hunting moonbeasts in mind. Pain and shock have little effect on such creatures, so the head has been lengthened and scalloped into a series of brutal serrations.

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂
The sale of so many items into Darremont's bell, claimed in the Grand expedition, has initiated a flurry of activity in all quarters - so much so that multiple parties have begun to approach doctors for donations to various facilities within Haven.

Unlocked
-Living Armor
- Lunacite Injection - Burning
- Lambent Inoculation

New Mechanic: Haven Improvements are now available. This operates on a threshold-based donation system that will improve various services that Haven offers. At any time, you can donate ₹ (and only ₹) to improve the quality of a given piece of infrastructure. Improvements are granted at the listed threshholds.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

Many expeditions are sent out to Darremont's bell, and pigeon traffic is frequent and thick - excepting that which should be reporting back to RoboCorp on the state of Ravis Erval. After a few initial letters describing the journey, the communication has gone quiet. All that's left now is to assume the worst, and perhaps to hope that some new expedition will recover their body.

With all the expeditions currently out in the area, rumors fly of foul play and treachery between Doctors brought on by greed. Many seek out RoboCorp's head Doctor and urge him to pray at the Shrine of Laikasa, carven from a pillar of blackest salt found in the depths of Haven's old mines, if he ever suspects he knows which Doctor wronged him. Others advise caution, as there is no evidence of fould play, and the Order of the Telepathic Heart that attends the Shrine takes a strong view of frivolous supplication.

New Mechanic: Shrine to Laikasa, Goddess of Justice and Judgement is now available! If you believe you have been aggrieved by another Doctor, you can pray at the statue of Laikasa and name your grievance (along with ACTACTACT) in order to attempt to add SIN to that player. The weight of SIN has many effects, none of which are pleasant, but are discharged over time - or by the sinner approaching the statue (along with ACTACTACT) and making an offering to appease the goddess.

Be wary, the Goddess views spurious accusations and frivolous prayers as its own special and potent SIN.

Never two alike, 'Bandit Dagger' is a colloquialism for any large hand blade that had been re-tooled for use as a combat weapon. Lightened cleavers, sharpened training rods, straightened garden sickles - any straight source of metal that can be trusted to take an edge and mostly keep it in battle. While typically outclassed by any purpose-forged weapon, they are quick to strike and quite dangerous in the right hands.

A combat axe redesigned with hunting moonbeasts in mind. Pain and shock have little effect on such creatures, so the head has been lengthened and scalloped into a series of brutal serrations. Utterly unnecessary except as a tool of intimidation against a mundane target, to capable of providing critically useful physical trauma and mutilation against the supernaturally robus.

Unlike conventional warscythes, weapons of desperation made from grain scythes converted to war, this weapon was forged for the express intent of severing flesh and bone. From the metal-reinforced haft capable of blocking the heaviest blade to the carefully tapered edge designed to be balanced for wide and sweeping strikes without sacrificing penetration, this is a competent and balanced weapon.

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion. The mainspring of the loading mechanism is somewhat unreliable, owing both to the inaccuracies of the golemcraft labor force and the relative cheapness in the material, and the rate of fire is somewhat inconsistent as a result.

Armored bulges along the spine protect a stolen nerve structure, capable of controlling the rotten musculature in order to offset the weight of the metal and flesh. Wicked-looking 'roots' grow inwards from the armor, allowing it to integrate with the host and fully interface with their motions. There is no provision for extracting the roots.

^꧁A Blessing Given^꧂

While the citizens of Haven do petition the Doctors for funds on various projects to enrich the town, they are far from ignorant of the dangers that the Doctors and Hunters have gone through to secure the beachhead of prosperity which now raises all ships. Sacrifices that, for the moment, appear to have been born disproportionately by Ara Memoria, who has gained nothing and lost everything.

Knowing full well that the experimentations of a desperate Doctor are more hindrance than help, several members of the town have banded together to secure a loan of ₹3 to Ara Memoria in order to put them back into the fight against the Lunacy which encroaches with each passing moonrise. The details of this loan are loose, founded on vague promises that the Doctor will one day pay the amount and more back to the town as Aid. While no strict terms, deadlines, or interest are set, it is well known that to ignore such a favour is a disgraceful SIN, and that failing to make any effort to pay even a pittance on the debt would also begin to grow a mounting burden of SIN.

Never two alike, 'Bandit Dagger' is a colloquialism for any large hand blade that had been re-tooled for use as a combat weapon. Lightened cleavers, sharpened training rods, straightened garden sickles - any straight source of metal that can be trusted to take an edge and mostly keep it in battle. While typically outclassed by any purpose-forged weapon, they are quick to strike and quite dangerous in the right hands.

Made popular by the King's ban on shedding blood in duels or games of sport, this was the favored weapon of those who considered pugilism or staff-fighting too boorish. Polished and richly inlaid, this cane has been weighted to have a balance similar to that of an arming sword, and reinforced to be able to break bone without splintering.

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion. The mainspring of the loading mechanism is somewhat unreliable, owing both to the inaccuracies of the golemcraft labor force and the relative cheapness in the material, and the rate of fire is somewhat inconsistent as a result.

A custom-crafted variant of the simple pistol, or, rather, the firing and loading mechanisms of two simple pistols broken apart and slotted back together.

Locked to the arm-via a brace, and only by that virtue able to be fired one-handed, this weapon is a patchwork of a gunsmith's art and madness woven together. Belt fed from a drum carried on the hunter's shoulder, a complicated clockwork mechanism feeds the belt into one of the most advanced repeating systems developed before the Moon's rise - one capable of using the detonation of one round to eject the previous round and wind the mainspring of the gun's firing mechanism.

       Description: Trial 16: Finally, success! The flesh and bone of the rotten, while still living due to the contagion, bear no real malice. After applying an exceptionally weak variant of the Hunter inoculation, the current prototype has been purged of all carnivorous tendency! Instead, when folded over an injury it will automatically seal and integrate with the host, forming a patch of undying material that functions in most regards as real flesh. Still having issues with tissue rejection when trial subjects integrate too much tissue, but this is extremely promising...

       Description: Additional case note, people will put anything in their bodies. In addition to the refined nightmold obtained during the raid, several crude syringes and a customized distillery were discovered. Operated by a disbarred doctor, the makeshift facility appeared to be rendering raw crystals of lunacite(!) into an injectable(!!) format. Questions on-site only revealed that it produced a 'Haunting Kind of High'.

This, our first attempt, is a highly effective beast of burden, capable of willingly following an expeditioneer into the most treacherous terrain, and utterly fearless in the face of danger.

       Description: At first glance, this appears to be a suit of field plate. Closer inspection, however, reveals that the 'cloth' sections of the armor are actually skin and muscle tissues derived from the rotten, and the metal plates have been sutured back into this living medium. Armored bulges along the spine protect a stolen nerve structure, capable of controlling the rotten musculature in order to offset the weight of the metal and flesh. Wicked-looking 'roots' grow inwards from the armor, allowing it to integrate with the host and fully interface with their motions. There is no provision for extracting the roots.

Here you go Master Carcharias.

Quote from: Ars Memoria

Dear Master Carcharias,

We would be willing to loan ₹0.50 for 3 turn for 7% fixed interest rate, failure to pay the loan at the end will cause expropriation of assets for at least equal value.
In consideration of the cyclical nature of expeditions, it is agreed that payment can be suspended for up to 2 turns. The amount due will still need to be paid either immediately upon end of suspension or have interest increase by 1%(8% fixed interest rate instead) for every turn. No further suspension can be awarded until there is no longer outstanding interest. Loans may be paid early but interest of that turn and before must be payed out as well.

Signed,
-Ars Memoria

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion. The mainspring of the loading mechanism is somewhat unreliable, owing both to the inaccuracies of the golemcraft labor force and the relative cheapness in the material, and the rate of fire is somewhat inconsistent as a result.

A custom-crafted variant of the simple pistol, or, rather, the firing and loading mechanisms of two simple pistols broken apart and slotted back together.

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂
While the influx of items to the market continues to fuel experimentation, most of the innovations generated take more practical forms - now that supply has taken a semblance of steadiness and inventors can create more than one-off trinkets for Hunters. While it seems that much of the low-hanging fruit of discovery has been picked, there is doubtless more to find.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

While the two expeditions last sent to Darremont are forced to return, a sweeping new series of expeditions ravages the rotting outskirts of Darremont's bell. While none penetrate terribly deeply as of yet, the countryside is still dappled with the beatings wings of dark pigeons and the staccato rhythm of gunfire.

Never two alike, 'Bandit Dagger' is a colloquialism for any large hand blade that had been re-tooled for use as a combat weapon. Lightened cleavers, sharpened training rods, straightened garden sickles - any straight source of metal that can be trusted to take an edge and mostly keep it in battle. While typically outclassed by any purpose-forged weapon, they are quick to strike and quite dangerous in the right hands.

A shortened variant of a long-barreled lever-action rifle, once popular with imperial scouts for its reliability due to its use of simple mechanics over more fickle clockwork. The shortened system allows it to be fired one-handed, but lever-operation makes it exceptionally difficult to use in a melee press, and its ammunition supply is limited due to the gun's simple design.

A shortened variant of a long-barreled lever-action rifle, once popular with imperial scouts for its reliability due to its use of simple mechanics over more fickle clockwork. The shortened system allows it to be fired one-handed, but lever-operation makes it exceptionally difficult to use in a melee press, and its ammunition supply is limited due to the gun's simple design.

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂
Large amounts of Undying components harvested from the Rotten allow for several more... experimental items to be fabricated. Barely tested, as most of the designs absolutely require a Holy Hunter, the prototypes are as promising as they are macabre. The additional crystal of Lunacite brought in by the M?R likewise excites curiosity, particularly combined with the relative glut of Lunacite.

Lunacite Injection - Blazing
Grafted Wings
Lunacite Mantle

Additionally, the money donated to improve the Experimental Hospital has had a significant effect, with the glimmers of facilities resembling pre-Mooncurse medical prowess starting to take shape. It's still a glimmer, for the moment, but it's a long step in the right direction.

Targeted Treatment: For any treatment that grants a trait (such as a Lunacite Injection or an Inoculation) you can specify one or many attributes and pay additional increments of ₹0.5, up to ₹5.0, to increase the odds of getting a trait related to those attributes.

Experimental Treatment cost reduced to ₹0.4

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂

With both NOCOF and Andrea piercing deeper into Darremont, as well as new expeditions being sent and old expeditions returning, there is no shortage of Avian traffic - though most of it seems quite mundane and carries little news that hasn't already been spread by the rumor mill.

Never two alike, 'Bandit Dagger' is a colloquialism for any large hand blade that had been re-tooled for use as a combat weapon. Lightened cleavers, sharpened training rods, straightened garden sickles - any straight source of metal that can be trusted to take an edge and mostly keep it in battle. While typically outclassed by any purpose-forged weapon, they are quick to strike and quite dangerous in the right hands.

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion.

       Description: At first glance, this appears to be a suit of field plate. Closer inspection, however, reveals that the 'cloth' sections of the armor are actually skin and muscle tissues derived from the rotten, and the metal plates have been sutured back into this living medium. Armored bulges along the spine protect a stolen nerve structure, capable of controlling the rotten musculature in order to offset the weight of the metal and flesh. Wicked-looking 'roots' grow inwards from the armor, allowing it to integrate with the host and fully interface with their motions. There is no provision for extracting the roots.

       Description: Additional case note, people will put anything in their bodies. In addition to the refined nightmold obtained during the raid, several crude syringes and a customized distillery were discovered. Operated by a disbarred doctor, the makeshift facility appeared to be rendering raw crystals of lunacite(!) into an injectable(!!) format. Questions on-site only revealed that it produced a 'Haunting Kind of High'. Strongly recommend that these materials be labeled as contraband, and descriptions disseminated throughout the Haven Watch.

       Description: A simple syringe of tin and glass, filled with a solution that glows a gentle blue-white.

       Description: A heavy cloak, hooded and capable of completely enveloping a Hunter. Numerous ships and fragments of Lunacite, faceted and stitched with thread of iron, have been worked into the garment and incorporated into a thaumaturgic control system capable of moderating their light output. The resulting garment is capable of radiating a soft lunar glow which makes the Hunter no brighter or darker than their background, and has been shown to be highly effective in throwing off the cursed. Unfortunately, the crystals still have the potential to be quite volatile.

       Description: "While the control crystals we once proudly used to control servitors are now rare, and their vulnerabilities to moonlight well documented, we have succeeded in purifying the lunacite infested brain of one of the Rotten to much the same purpose and implanting it in a hybrid structure of Rotten bio-material and mechanical limbs. This, our first attempt, is a highly effective beast of burden, capable of willingly following an expeditioneer into the most treacherous terrain, and utterly fearless in the face of danger. Granted, it lacks any combat capacity, but its carrying capacity makes up for this deficiency." - Letter from Artifabrian [REDACTED]

Keravnos... returns to Haven

They say lightning never strikes twice. That may be true, but Keravnos strikes 7 times. Pushing on is probably a little hubristic, but they have a Watchstone. And just imagine the wealth and glory if they single-handedly clear stage 2. Nevermind, I changed my mind myself.
That said, if anyone in OALM thinks we shouldn't risk it, let me know and I'll recall them.

Quote from: Expedition Contract, M?R and RC

The undersigned Orders agree to mutually beneficial alliance of Hunters for the purpose of an Expedition to Darremont's Bell - The Antiquarian's Manor.

Roboson, RoboCorp

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, and to respect the noble pursuit on which we collectively engage.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially. M?R will receive 70% of loot by value in Sovereigns, with RoboCorp receiving 30% of the loot by value in Sovereigns. In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.

Orders who wish to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the members turning back are entitled to no more than their percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition.  In the event a member cannot obtain their full share of the loot in this case - whether due to encumbrance or some other reason - they likewise forfeit whatever share they are unable to recover.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the loots value to return the equipment, regardless.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loots value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool. In the case of hunter death, all items belonging to the hunter, and items added to the loot pool are the sole property of the owner of the hunter and are not split in accordance to the loot distribution rules listed above.

All involved Orders are obligated to transfer the results of an encounter to the other Orders, in full and without modification, at the start of the turn.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:
Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.

I’m still here, I’ve just been lurking because I have no idea what to add.

I mean, if you want, you could leave OALM and go it alone- there's a provision for that in the charter. If you want to do this, let me know, and I'll try to figure out how much cash/stuff you'd get as a result. Alternatively, if you'd like to do so at some point (but not right now), I'll try to organise it such that you'd get a decent chunk of change when you go.

Quote from: Expedition Contract, M?R and RC

The undersigned Orders agree to mutually beneficial alliance of Hunters for the purpose of an Expedition to Darremont's Bell - The Antiquarian's Manor.

Roboson, RoboCorp

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, and to respect the noble pursuit on which we collectively engage.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially. M?R will receive 60% of loot by value in Sovereigns, with RoboCorp receiving 40% of the loot by value in Sovereigns. In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.

Orders who wish to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the members turning back are entitled to no more than their percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition.  In the event a member cannot obtain their full share of the loot in this case - whether due to encumbrance or some other reason - they likewise forfeit whatever share they are unable to recover.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the loots value to return the equipment, regardless.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loots value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool. In the case of hunter death, all items belonging to the hunter, and items added to the loot pool are the sole property of the owner of the hunter and are not split in accordance to the loot distribution rules listed above.

All involved Orders are obligated to transfer the results of an encounter to the other Orders, in full and without modification, at the start of the turn.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:
Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 24 hours.

Moonlight Chronicles
Chapter 1

Quote from: Ebony

"Do you remember me?"

Ebony remained silent, studying the face before her with the intense focus that her Brothers had come to know her for.  The woman sitting across from her waited, hopeful, breath held as though the slightest breeze may disperse even the faintest memory before it could condense.

This was her...wife.  A bronze ring around the woman's finger was a tenuous testament to that fact; cheaper than gold, but no less precious.  It was scratched and nicked and dinged, but burnished bright with worry beneath the fingertips of an anxious hand...as she was doing now. 

A scarf hung around her neck, bracing her against the chill of the underground mines.  It was hand-knit, as evidenced by a row of missed stitches along the end and the sudden shift from one dyed wool to another.  Clumsily made, but made with love.  The end tied off into a careful knot; clearly, the maker hadn't known how to keep it from unraveling into simple string.  Had Ebony made that for her?  Was it a gift? 

Ebony's eyes dropped from the woman's face to her own hands.  They'd been callused when she'd woken up.  They told her she was a farmer.  Those calluses had never faded; she wielded a scythe as well now as she did back then.  Scars, like unfamiliar strangers, adorned her hands.  Where had they come from?  A careless slip of a knife while making dinner? A candle, tipped over?  An angry dog, snapping at her proffered hand?

Other scars were more immediately familiar.  A row of pink, jagged lines from where a lunacite horror had dragged itself against her.  A thin, curved line where a canine had punctured her skin.  A zig-zag of stitches holding her hand together, from where Martyn's blade had punched right through...

She did remember this woman, in a way.  It was the same familiarity that you might have when examining a new work of art from your favorite painter.  It was the familiarity of the next chapter of an authors latest book.  New, yet with the faint echo of what once was. 

She wanted to say "yes".  This woman had meant a lot to her, or so she'd been told.  They'd been married for years, before an errant insect had carried the disease to her and given her soul to the Lunar abyss.  She owed her happiness for that time together, didn't she?  Even if Ebony didn't recall a single second of the time before, she could give this woman - this stranger - that much, couldn't she? 

Or did she owe her the truth?  Did she deserve to know that the wounds healing across her hands were a more familiar companion than the barest echo of recognition?  Did she even really recognize her, or did she just see the same ghost of an expression on her face as she saw with every other soul in the Haven?  Was Ebony even the same soul she'd fallen in love with? Would she love the soul that had come after?

Did she even recognize Ebony?

"...no," Ebony said.  The moment of hopeful suspense was broken.  Though Ebony's eyes were still surveying the wreck of her own hands, she could see the tension fade from the woman in her peripheral. Like a flower wilting, or a snowman fading in the sun.  Hope, or what was left of it, drained out of the poor soul hoping that something had been left after the moon had been purged from Ebony's system.

"But - " Ebony looked up, eyes once again locking onto this woman with an uncanny determination, " - I would like to."

"And then what?"

"And then we...talked," Ebony said with a shrug.  She peeked over the edge of an up-turned cart, but whatever the contents were had long since been either stolen or rotted to nothing.  "She told me about my mom, and my sister, and my brother in law."

"Are they - ?"

"Dead."

"Ah."  Mace lapsed into silence.

The outskirts of Darremont weren't particularly dangerous, but rot was just as prevalent here as anywhere else.  Exploring during the day helped.  The few infected they came across were lethargic, often keeping to the dark interiors when the trio passed by.

"And then what happened?"  Lord Duffy asked, looking over his shoulder.  The tumble of baskets he was poking through were all empty.  Presumably, someone had been selling hand-woven baskets here, but now their stock was half-seeped into the mud.  It was days of careful, precise work, all utterly wasted.

"And...then we talked some more.  She's not happy that I'm back out here, that's for sure."

In a normal conversation, this would have been the point where one of them asked why she was back out here.  It wasn't as if NOCOF had forced them out the door at gun point, and the other Orders had already shown just how dangerous the outside was.  Of the few Hunters who'd been brought back from the brink of Lunacy, three had already died.  To their credit, neither Mace nor Duffy asked the question - they got it.  They all understood why they were here, and why they risked everything to bring back scraps of flesh and lunacite.  It didn't need to be said; not here, at least.

"She gave me back my wedding ring.  Says it was my grandma's, and I proposed to her with it.  It's supposed to bring luck."

"But you're not wearing it."

"...no," Ebony admitted after a moment, hand going up to touch the ring looped onto a string around her neck.  Simple bronze, old and worn.  "I told her I'd give it back when I remember her."

"That's sweet," Mace said, no small amount of amusement in his voice.

"It's fucking awkward is what it is.  How am I going to remember her?  I just said what I thought she wanted to hear.  It was so...fuck.  It was just so god damn sad.  You should have seen her face, I just didn't know what to say."

"Still, it must have earned you a few brownie points," Lord Duffy said, his boots squelching in the mud.  He kicked over an old barrel, and an avalanche of moldy grain tumbled into the street.  Tiny crystal insects scurried from the pile.  Duffy wrinkled his nose and continued on.  "So, then what happened?"

"And then I fucking prepped for the Expedition," Ebony snapped, turning to face Duffy fully.  "Why do you keep asking 'and then what'?"

"Well," Duffy hedged, planting the end of his scythe in the mud and leaning on it.  "You had this woman sitting across from you, huge emotional investment.  She's your wife, supposedly.  She missed you, thought you'd died...the two of you were alone..."

" - and you're asking if I split her open like a log, is that it?  Fucking hell, no, you god damn creep.  I didn't know her."

"You don't have to know someone to have a good time."

"Don't be gross, Duff."  Mace looked up from where he'd been picking through a knocked-over market stall.

"I'm just saying, I went to that place on level nine, you know - the 'Velvet Diamond'?  I couldn't tell you a single one of those ladies names, and I still enjoyed myself."

"How the hell did you afford a stay at the Velvet Diamond?" Mace asked.

"They put it on No-Cough's tab."

"Our employers are paying for you to get laid?"

"It helps if they don't know about it."

"Oh, and I'm sure they won't find out when the bill shows up."

"Look, I already died once, alright?  If the two of you wanna take cold showers for the rest of your second life, be my guest.  I'd much prefer to drink deep the cup of life; take it's dark wine into my soul. For it passes round the table but only once."

A moment of silence passed by, interrupted only by the squish of mud beneath boots as the three continued deeper into Darremont's.

"That's surprisingly...poignant," Mace said after a moment.  "Did you come up with that, just now?"

"I...think?"  Duffy's face wrinkled as he concentrated on what was little more than the after-image of a memory long gone.  "Or did...I might have said it before?  Or...or, hey, maybe I wrote it down at some point?  Maybe I was a writer!  You know, before."

"World-famous writer, probably," Ebony nodded sagely.  "Though that doesn't explain why no one came to claim you after you showed up at the asylum."

"Maybe I write under a pseudonym," Duffy countered.  "I could have valued my privacy and I've got a bank account stuffed with sovereigns somewhere from all my book deals."

"Strange, because you don't seem like the type who values his privacy at all.  I'm pretty sure you would tell us all about the Velvet Diamond if we asked," Mace said.

"Are you asking? Because - "

"No, he's not," Ebony said quickly.  "And I'm not going to fuck some stranger just because she used to be my wife."

"Used to be?"

"Is, I mean.  Hell, I don't even know if we were happy together.  Or if I actually loved her.  I don't even know if...you know, if that's what I'm into.  I guess I'm gay? Kind of a weird fucking way to find out."

"Maybe you should find yourself a lady at the Velvet Diamond and make sure."

"Maybe you should blow Mace and find out a few things about yourself, ever think of that?" 

Mace cocked an eyebrow at Ebony, then looked expectantly at Duffy.  Duffy, however, was already shaking his head.  "Nah, nah - I tested that at the Diamond, too.  They've got all kinds there, and I gotta say, it's not for me.  And you're being a bit unfair, don't you think?  Mace and me never had noone come claim us.  As far as we know, there's no wife or husband or any other family waiting for us back at Haven."

"No, I've got a brother."

Ebony and Duffy stopped bickering for a moment to look at Mace.  Mace paused, aware now that he was suddenly the focus of attention.

"What?"

"What do you mean what, you got claimed?  Why didn't you tell us?"  Ebony frowned.  It hurt a little, knowing that Mace had kept that secret.

"It didn't seem important, I guess."

"Not important?"  Duffy's eyebrows went up.  "You know what I'd give to have someone recognize me?"

"Well, I'd give far less," Mace said firmly.  "I've got a brother, I guess.  Henry Wilkens.  I used to be Jasper Wilkens.  He checked me into the asylum when I got infected, apparently."

"No shit.  What's he like?"  Ebony cocked her head, the crimson beads in her hair clacking against one another with the simple movement.

"No clue.  Haven't met him."

"Oh.  Is he...?"

"No, he's alive."

"Then why the fuck haven't you met him?"  Duffy, counter to his seemingly perpetual good mood, seemed genuinely angry.  "You've got someone, asshole.  Someone who can tell you who you were before, someone who can help you piece it all back together.  Why haven't you done shit about it?"

"Because it doesn't fucking matter, alright?"  Mace turned on him, raising his voice to a shout.  "It doesn't matter.  He's not my brother.  He was, but now he's not.  I used to be Jasper, but now I'm not.  The guy who used to have this body before me isn't me.  He's done - he died, went into the Lunacy, and now I'm me.  I don't care who he was, I don't care who his brother was.  It doesn't matter, none of it does.  The only thing that does matter is that this is who I am now, and I have no interest in what came before.  You just got done talking about the cup of life, right?  Well, let me drink at my own god damn pace and stop trying to bring up the dregs from the last cup."

Mace's words echoed against the distant walls, reverberating in the silent air before fading into nothing.  A few rotten infected, shambling and weak individually, stumbled from the decayed buildings to investigate the noise.  Mace sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I'm sorry, alright? It's just...whatever I was before, whoever that person was, I have no interest in meeting him.  I don't deserve whatever he had, for good or for ill.  How can I claim any of that when I don't even remember it?"

Ebony and Duffy said nothing, silently letting Mace work through his thoughts.

"Look, let's just...you guys can talk about that stuff, if you want.  Just leave me out of it.  Jasper died a long time ago.  If I'm still him, well...I don't want to know what it was about his life that sent him for a stroll in the moonlight."

I’m still here, I’ve just been lurking because I have no idea what to add.

I mean, if you want, you could leave OALM and go it alone- there's a provision for that in the charter. If you want to do this, let me know, and I'll try to figure out how much cash/stuff you'd get as a result. Alternatively, if you'd like to do so at some point (but not right now), I'll try to organise it such that you'd get a decent chunk of change when you go.

I think Knightwing wants to withdraw 2-3 sovereigns so they can go into business with me.  ;D ;D ;D
Right Knightwing?  Right?  ;D ;D ;D

Sir yes sir!  :P

^꧁Hunter's Haven^꧂
Rumors fly in Darremont as to the objective of the joint RoboCorp and M?R expedition, and many anxiously await the leaks and rumors that will occur when the Hunter's return letters arrive. IF such letters do arrive. There is considerable gambling as to that last, with many speculating on the Hunters awaking some even greater horror from the depths of Darremont.

^꧁Darremont's Bell - The Antiquarian's Manor^꧂

Tenebrous pigeons to steadily arrive back from the joint expedition, the slightest murmur issued by a doctor or a Hunter in passing as to the letter's contents is amplified a thousand times in the streets of Haven. From such unreliable sources and fragmented information, the best that can be gathered is that there is some sort of cult, deeply rooted within Darremont, which has an either imperfect, or purposefully twisted, variant of the inoculation used by doctors. The cultists have guarded the road to the Manor house with their lives, but the Hunters appear to have defeated the patrols, and now stand at the gates of the ancient domain of Darremont's greatest Antiquarian.

Announcement
So, the last complete export of the Store page weighed in at a mighty 39k characters, clearly untenable since Bay12 has a 40k character. I've gone through various iterations of item reorganization for space efficiency, and each one has limped us a little further. Most recently, I moved all the tables to an auto-generated monospace format instead of using the tag-intensive BBCode table system. This bought another 20%, but it's clear that as more recipes are discovered, new services become available, and shops are expanded that this will continue to be an issue. These forums were not designed to run a game like this (go figure) and trying to keep all the data on one post is a losing battle.

Going forward, store entries will be much abbreviated (90% reduction in used characters) and continue little information beyond name, price, and number available, but will contain a 'catalog' link that contains the details of everything in the store. If people have objections, let me know and I will weigh them accordingly.

@Nuke:
It sounds like Knightwing would like to continue with your illustrious order, but withdraw 2-3 sovereigns so they can help me in the vital task of lending money.

Okay, so, two points: One, you are not empowered to negotiate on Knightwing's behalf. They are perfectly capable of talking to me by themselves. Two, there's no provision for a member performing a partial extraction from OALM. I mean, we could alter the charter to allow that, but that would be complicated. If Knightwing wants out, that's fine, and I will do my best to get him his fair share as soon as possible- but then he'd be out, not 43.56% out.

I guess a third point: If Knightwing did want out, I doubt he would actually want to immediately invest his cash into your banking operation. I mean, the rate of return he'd get would be significantly worse than the rate of return from remaining in OALM (as you would have to offer less than 5% per turn), and he still wouldn't have any agency over hunters.

@Rockeater: OALM pays ₹0.26 for the coat rental. Will probably want to rent it again immediately, but still figuring that out.

The simple bow is not still in stock. Remember that bids are only resolved at the end of the turn (unless you perform a buyout), and so you won't be able to take that simple pistol with you if you're also expeditioning this turn.

Quote from: Contract of Expedition Comradery

The undersigned Orders agree to mutually beneficial alliance of Hunters for the purpose of an Expedition to

• Darremont's Bell

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, to respect the noble animals for which NOCOF is named, and to strive at all times to restore the Empire to its former mechanical glory.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split fairly among the remaining members. 

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 36 hours.
• Deliberately under-equipping a Hunter on this Expedition.
• Instigating the death of a Hunter sent on this Expedition in order to obtain an unfair loot percentage.

The following orders agree to bring the listed Hunters, reasonably equipped:

NOCOF:
-Hunter "Mace Hawkshire"
-Hunter "Lord Duffy"


This agreement may be edited with unanimous consent by all undersigned Orders.

Rockeater, I'd like to rent your coat again. I assume the same contract as usual is fine.

Quote

We, the undersigned Honest Goro and Co, agree to transfer the item 'Armored Coat'  to the undersigned company, OALM.
This item will incur into a turnly rent of 0.13 Sovereigns. The item will need to be returned in original condition after 6 turns or less. Failure to pay rent or to provide the rented item at the end will cause expropriation of assets for at least equal value.
In consideration of the cyclical nature of expeditions, it is agreed that rental payments can be suspended for up to 4 turns. The amount due will still need to be paid either immediately or spread across the rest of the rental period. No further suspension can be awarded until there is no longer outstanding suspended rent.

Since eS went and humanised NOCOF's hunters, I felt compelled to make a thing outlining the personality of Keravnos and Ochyrosi.

Spoiler: Keravnos and Ochyrosi (click to show/hide)

"Ugh, I'm so bored. I've been sitting around for two weeks already. Hey, Ker, what do you do for fun?"
Keravnos shrugged.
"Thanks, Ker. Helpful as always."
Keravnos did not respond. He was sitting crosslegged on the floor, staring at the opposite wall.
"I could probably find a deck of cards. You play poker?"
Keravnos shook his head.
"Cribbage?"
Keravnos shook his head.
"Gin?"
Keravnos shook his head.
"Loopdraw?"
Keravnos looked up, a slightly confused look on his face.
"Yeah, okay, I made that one up to check you were paying attention."
Keravnos nodded and went back to staring at the wall.
"I'd suggest getting some rum and getting plastered, but I'm guessing you don't drink either."
Keravnos shook his head.
"Course not. You just stare at things. Fuck, why did the other guy have to die? At least he spoke."
"I speak", Keravnos said.
"Spoke complete sentences, then."
Keravnos shrugged.

---

"You've not been claimed, have you Ker?"
"Incorrect."
"Shit, really? What were they like?"
"Wife. Two kids."
"Oh, cool. What happened?"
"Kids were scared. Didn't like my eyes. Wife seemed angry", Keravnos said. His all-white eyes betrayed no emotion. A harmless mutation, the doctors said. Superficial residue of lunacy.
"That sucks, man. It's exactly why I won't go. Nobody would want to speak to me looking like this."
Keravnos shrugged. "I think it was a valuable experience. Gave them closure, of a sort. They're better off hating me than yearning for who this body used to be."
"What? They fucking dumped you and you're worried about their feelings?"
"I have no ill wishes towards them. We make sacrifices for Haven. That's our-"
"Duty? Fuck that."
"-purpose. What keeps us going."
"No way, man. I don't give a shit about Haven. I just want to crush moon-beasts."
"It's the same result. Haven is protected. How you rationalise it is irrelevant."
"No. Fuck you, Ker. I'm not risking my life for anyone but me. They can fucking protect themselves. Fuck them, fuck the Moon, fuck the Rotten, and fuck these bloody scabs!"
Keravnos shrugged.
Ochyrosi kicked him in the ribs.

I hope the implications are clear, but just to be sure: Ochyrosi dealt with the trauma of becoming a Hunter by burying her emotions under anger. Keravnos dealt with it by disassociating.

Those Orders undersigned agree to pursue this Expedition in Good Faith, to maintain comradery with our fellow members, to respect the noble animals for which NOCOF is named, and to strive at all times to restore the Empire to its former mechanical glory.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split fairly among the remaining members. 

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 36 hours.
• Deliberately under-equipping a Hunter on this Expedition.
• Instigating the death of a Hunter sent on this Expedition in order to obtain an unfair loot percentage.

The following orders agree to bring the listed Hunters, reasonably equipped:

NOCOF:
-Hunter "Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight"

League Of Unaligned Practicioners

A custom-crafted variant of the simple pistol, or, rather, the firing and loading mechanisms of two simple pistols broken apart and slotted back together.

An unusual weapon for a Hunter, this is a light rifle modified with a short scope - yet still able to be capably fired with one hand. The ammunition is somewhat expensive for its low caliber, owing to the purity of the powder load and the unusually careful shaping of the bullet, and it does struggle to deal significant damage to larger beasts, but it's quite capable of dispatching any create of humanoid toughness or below.

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion. The mainspring of the loading mechanism is somewhat unreliable, owing both to the inaccuracies of the golemcraft labor force and the relative cheapness in the material, and the rate of fire is somewhat inconsistent as a result.

Spoiler: Tavern Fluff (click to show/hide)

Harold didn't like working the tavern much. It was hectic work, the crowds were usually rough-looking, and it didn't pay much. Not to mention, it wasn't the most prestigious work. Guards got respect, messengers got respect, even the farmhands got a firm nod every now and then. Nobody ever shook the hand of a server and told him the city wouldn't stand without him.

There were two, maybe three reasons he kept at it, though. One, it kept him out of the moonlight. Two, it wasn't like he had a lot of other prospects. And three...

"-marrow? Somebody's gotta have some marrow..."
"Nobody's got more marrow than you have, they..."
"...couldn't hit the broad side of a..."
"So I says to him, I says 'Five percent? That's robbery in the other direction, mate!'"
"...but you get him in with a blade and it's horsemeat before it hits the ground..."
"...probably more blood than any other Hunter in the city, not counting the..."
"BOY where the FUCK is my WHISKEY?!"

"Sorry sir!" Harold yelped. It was easy to get distracted in one of the premiere hangout spots for Hunters and Doctors... which also made it one of the worst places to get distracted. Everyone in here looked dangerous one way or another, and the ones that didn't felt even more terrifying for it. They had what appeared to be a lone eight year old girl in once, and the staff had to draw lots to see who served her. Nothing came of it as far as anyone knew, but everyone had been paranoid for a week afterwards.

"Not that I'd know, bastard just said it 'wasn't ecomonimal' and..."
"...four times the price! Might as well feed her to the Rotten at that..."
"Ben, the whiskey?"
"...more spines, maybe they'll figure out some way to cure..."
"Shit, right. One whiskey, two whiskeys? One for-"
"Trenchcoat and saber, yeah."
"...eaten by a godsdamned horse. Of all the ways to go, that's probably the best."
"...is what it says it is, what else could they be hiding from us?!"

Harold quickly but carefully set an amber glass down, smiling apologetically.

"About FUCKING time," was the response from a withered-looking man in a high-collared trenchcoat and tricorner hat. His eyes were a silvery grey and the left side of his mouth had been cleaved open, giving him an even more impressive snarl than most. Harold didn't dare guess who or what he was, other than somebody you didn't want to be late serving whiskey to.

"...separated from time itself, like some kind of..."
"...dumbest idea I have EVER fucking heard. Who wants a nightstand watching you while..."
"Still a loss. You'd need to kill him in the outskirts to pull it off, else it's just..."

"Your whiskey, sir," Harold said, smiling as he put down another glass for a man conspicuously wearing a saber. He just nodded in return, which was fine by Harold.

"...no marrow in the godsdamned city? You can't possibly..."
"...prefer it. Everyone's scared of the horses, but you can kill a..."
"On the other hand, you can't take it off. If we invented some kind of intermediary skin, maybe it could root..."
"...doesn't even remember my name. Like some kinda... kinda..."

Harold definitely liked working the tavern sometimes.

Spoiler: Moonlight Chronicles Chapter 2 (click to show/hide)

Moonlight Chronicles
Chapter 2

---

“What is that, three to one?”

Duffy pressed his boot into the spine of his latest victim and gave the scythe a sharp yank.  The honed blade ran through the decayed neck with a hardly a hitch.  The head, reminiscent of a jack’o’lantern left to the elements for far too long, hit the ground with a thud and rolled a short distance before coming to a stop.  The milky white eyes rolled in their sockets frantically before slowly going still.  The body, like a decapitated roach, also took a minute before the news of its death caught up with it.

“Better make that four to one.  Still, Keravnos – just a lovely job finishing off that lost puppy.  I was worried Mace was going to have to get tooth marks on his boots.”

Keravnos, whose eyes shared the same milky, distant stare as the freshly-slain monster currently twitching in the mud, simply shrugged.  His twined axes, which doubled as shotguns, hooked to his belt with a single practiced move as he turned to examine a glittering puddle. 

“Don’t talk much, huh?”

“Maybe you should take a page out of his book, Duff.”  Mace was already riffling through the dead.  His Hunters knife expertly prying a femur out of one of the re-deceased hell hounds, which made a greasy squelch as it popped free.

“Aw, but then who’ll fill those long, comfortable silences?  Ochyrosi knows what I’m talking about, ain’t that right?”

Ochyrosi was currently occupied picking her ragged sleeve where the hell hound in question had nearly taken her hand off.  It was now the only place where her skin was exposed to air, showing off the pearly calluses that covered her body.  It had been a close call, but Keravnos had managed to intercept the pooch before things got nasty.

“You alright, pal?  Didn’t seem like you managed to get a shot off.”

“Fuck off.”

“Oh, don’t be like that.  Sure, everyone got a kill but you, but that doesn’t mean anything.  It’s not a competition, even if you are losing.”

Ochyrosi looked up sharply.  “The fuck did you just say?”

“Two for me, two for Mace, even Keravnos got one  - no offense, Ker.  Just pointing out that you’re a bit slow on the draw, Rosy, that’s all.  It’s fine, some people just can’t get their spears up when they need to.  Nothing to be ashamed of, maybe just lay off the grapefruit.  I hear blood pressure is a big part of that.  No judgement, though.”

Keravnos shrugged impassively, already picking a few glimmering shards of lunacite out of the puddle.  Ochyrosi, however, was not prepared to let it go.  Her hands, clad in simple leather gloves to hid the skin pock-marked with thick white scabs beneath, balled into fists.  The tip of her riflespear lifted the scant few degrees needed to go from “at rest” to “at ready”.

“You think you’re funny?”

A moment of silence followed.  The atmosphere chilled, as though her words had sucked the warmth right out of the air.  Everyone here was a Hunter – their senses tuned to detect beyond the mundane.  Such sense were not required to pick up the deadly intent behind Ochyrosi’s words.  Mace, who’d grown used to Lord Duffy’s sense of humor over the past few months, paused mid-dissection. 

“...hey, Duff – “

“No, it’s fine.”  Duffy didn’t take his eyes off Ochyrosi, but waved a hand behind him to forestall whatever words of warning Mace had prepared.  His face never lost the smile; if anything, it’d just taken on a sense of curious wonder.  It was the same expression a wildlife expert might make while picking up a deadly snake by the tail, or hopping onto the back of a wild alligator. 

“To answer your question, Rosy, I do think I’m quite a chucklemeister.  I’ll admit my humor isn’t much for broad appeal, but I’ve got a tight five and can hold a stage.”

“How about I give you a tight five to the teeth?”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Fight me, asshole.”

Another moment of silence passed. Mace glanced uneasily from Duffy to Ochyrosi, and Keravnos paused his collection of lunacite chips to observe the commotion. 

All at once, a laugh bubbled up from deep within Duffy, forcing its way between his lips.  He leaned his head back and dropped his warscythe in the mud to hold his belly.  It was pure mirth.  Unadulterated, genuine mirth.  Ochyrosi froze, confused, but no less angry.

“What the fuck is so funny, asshole?”

“Fight you?  Oh my god, are you serious?  I’m not going to fight you, are you nuts?”

The rage which had temporarily dropped to a low smolder now reignited, full burn.  Ochyrosi screamed and threw her riflespear to the ground.  In the blink of an eye, her feet were pounding in the mud as she leaped, full-force, straight at Duffy –

Keravnos caught her, arm across the gut.  Mace, who just a moment ago had been kneeling next to a half-butchered dog in the mud, was suddenly standing in front of Duffy, arms outstretched to hold the two of them apart.  The suddenly flurry of movement had cut through both Duffy’s laughter and Ochyrosi’s frosty words.

“Enough.”

They were the first words Keravnos had said for the entire Expedition.  Ochyrosi, breathing heavily, shoved him away, but she didn’t leap for Duffy again.  Silence reigned as the two groups took a moment to cool down, but Mace broke it before it stretched too long.

“Alright.  Let’s just...let's just take a moment here.  Duff is…funny.  In a lot of ways.”  He glanced over his shoulder at his companion, who was finally – finally – done smiling.  “He doesn’t mean any insult, it’s just…how he deals with It.”

“It” was a curious word.  The way It was said implied it was capitalized, or maybe italicized.  Even more curiously, this was the first time the word had been mentioned between the two groups, and yet it was immediately understood by everyone involved.  It didn’t matter which Order they came from, when they’d been brought back, or what they’d done after being inoculated.  Every Hunter knew what “It” was.

“If Duff apologizes, would you let this go?”

Ochyrosi’s eyes, barely visible behind her mask, flicked over to Keravnos.  Keravnos, predictably, remained silent.  Her eyes focused back on Mace, and after a short pause gave a quick jerk of her head.  Mace’s arms came down slowly.  He stepped to the side and gave a hard look at Duffy, who at least pretended to look embarrassed.

“Ah…right.  Ochyrosi.  I’m…sorry if I offended you.  I was poking some fun at…all this.”  Duffy gestured vaguely around.  “I didn’t mean to get you riled up.  Sorry about that.”

Ochyrosi narrowed her eyes, then promptly bent down to pick up her riflespear out of the mud.  Everyone tensed at the sudden movement, but she simply shook the dirt off and pointed a finger at Duffy.

“You’re a fucking coward.  And if you call me Rosy again, I’ll murder you in your sleep.”

“Fair enough.”

And just like that, the tension bled out of the group.  The four of them resumed looting what little there was to loot this far into the outskirts, and then moved on.  It was only as they were plodding through the mud further into the town did Mace sidle up next to Duffy and mutter to him under his breath.

“If you could not get us killed in our sleep, I’d appreciate it greatly.”

It hadn’t taken long for Duffy to regain his good mood after their little scuffle, and he flashed a pearly grin at Mace.  There was already a twinkle in his eye.

“No promises, my friend.  No promises.”

Spoiler: A Bench (click to show/hide)

The objective was clear. March through Darremont’s Bell, find creatures of the Lunacy to slay, and slay them. The steps to take to achieve this objective were clear, and so she took them. Keep armed. Keep vigilant. Keep a steady pace. Counter Zeal’s erratic weaving through the landscape through a steadier pace so as to not run headlong into a fight unprepared but avoid leaving too much distance. Zeal chattered on in the background, but Silicon Dioxide found it easy to ignore him. There was an objective to complete, after all, and she would complete it.

---

The objective was clear. The lunacite beings were in front of them and were both obstacle and target. Don’t let Zeal die. The steps to take to achieve this objective were difficult and changed, but Silicon Dioxide would achieve them nonetheless. Approach the humanoid lunacite being – the loonie, Zeal called it. Swing the Oathblade – miss, adjust swing, graze. Swing again – solid, slain. Zeal and the shrike are fighting – approach the shrike. She was stumbling, failing to do her job – tamp down frustration. No room for it. Get to the shrike – a flash of pain, a crystal past the vest. Too late. Strike. Strike again. The objective was completed.

---

…life was different for Silicon, in those moments where she didn’t have an objective. No clear goal, no clear steps to follow it, no direction and no instruction. When she was facing a Skittering Mass of Lunacite, the world in front of her turned into a line of actions, one after the other, the movements of combat enhanced within her, with only the need to do them. When she was between fights, the world could be instead condensed to a series of a points, in a way. This had to be done, this had to be watched, this had to be taken care of – for any dutiful Hunter, there were always objectives to tend to.
The Haven, however, simply unrolled into a vast empty space, along with her thoughts, one where finding any duty to do, any objective to follow – it didn’t make sense. There were so many different people, so many different things, so many different little places, with their different little tones. It became enough to drown in. The first time she had experienced it had been upon her Inoculation, upon her return to consciousness, and it—Silicon didn’t like to think about it. The second time, however, had been after that expedition into the Bell, after she had had time to fight and time to do. Now she had an entire turn of the gear to wait, while Zeal went under a storm of procedures and while the Doctors planned and traded.

And so Silicon had found herself a little routine – it was a nice one, she thought. Silicon had found herself a bench along a minor thoroughfare of the Haven, and in those empty days she had just been taking her time and using it to sit on that bench for hours at a time. She made quite a sight, she knew – the sandy-brown-haired woman was only a couple of inches short of six feet tall, with a curled scar along her forehead and the bridge of the nose, and with a massive sword sheathed on her back anywhere and everywhere she went. But usually, people were content to give her a wide berth – that was what she was looking for.

All she had to do was close her eyes, and she could pretend that she wasn’t being stared at. she could just hear the pattering of footsteps on stone and brick and the indistinct, incomprehensible muttering of quiet voices and let them merge into an indistinct mass. it became a sea of susurration she could submerge in, letting her breathing slow. the world around her could fade away and

for a while

it all could be

noth-

Something struck her across the temple – a very small rock, by the feel of it. A hunter as she was, however, it was not something that endangered her. She could ignore it, let her breathing slow again, and let the world again become-

Another one of the tiny rocks skipped off of the back of her head, and she could distinctly hear a set of footsteps moving towards her, once, twice. Her eyebrows furrowed, but she tried to get back into her trance- another rock, of course. This rock was matched with another movement of footsteps, and… of course, with an annoyingly familiar snickering. Silicon’s posture shifted slightly, and the corners of her lips tugged just a little bit downwards. When the next rock bounced off of her, Silicon judged her timing and sent one arm out in a half-hearted backhand.

…except, well, a half-hearted backhand by Silicon’s standards is still a precisely accurate one by normal standards, and she was shortly rewarded with the feeling of her hand smacking into a distinctly bald pate. Her lips perked that imperceptible bit upwards, just for a moment, before she opened her eyes and looked over at her annoying assailant. Zeal under Moonlight was standing there, of course, one hand reasserting that top hat he liked to wander around town in, and the other “smoothly” dumping a handful of gravel onto the ground, with his signature carbine on his back like her sword was on hers, his cane dangling from the hat hand.
Silicon just sort of stared at him for a good few moments before she realized that he wanted her to speak first. “…what do you want, Zeal?”

With more energy in his wiry frame than anyone over fifty years of physical age still in the middle of a set of surgeries should have, Zeal bounded over to The Bench (as usual, barely using the cane), leaning on its corner with an elbow. “Well, Silicon, my dear woman, I’ve come to let you in on the latest comings and goings of the Haven, of course!” Zeal grinned, and Silicon was left to wonder where he’d found the time to gossip in the first place. “And perhaps I’ve come to drop a little bit of elder wisdom on you, you never know!”

Silicon took another few moments to stare at him (the awkwardness, unfortunately, never seemed to dissuade him from being a conversation partner), more than a little skeptical of this claim, before she finally chose to word something, an odd set to her voice. “…we’re both not that old.”

The older Hunter, however, grinned, wagging a finger. “Ah, but that is where you are wrong. Fourteen and a half turns of the gear, my friend – I’m an elder Hunter. A real pillar of the community, one of the first, I’ve seen it all, you know! It’s just me, Cancer, and Ebony you can get that kind of experience from, so you really ought to listen. Ah, and speaking of the crazy bint,” faint disbelief touched Silicon’s eyebrows at his choice of phrasing, “that reminds me of what I was going to talk about.” Zeal leaned in closer to Silicon, his hand by his mouth in conspiratorial fashion while she sat there unmoving, “there’s been all sorts of people going out and about ‘claiming’ Hunters. Family and relations and pals and all that – Ebony had a wife come up to her, a spouse of all people! I think that promises to add a little bit of spice to a lot of our compatriots, hoho, that’ll keep the ol’ mills running a while. What about you, Silicon – I don’t suppose you happen to have anything juicy for me? Any old figures popping up out of the shrouds of the past, you know?”

(In her first days of life, Silicon remembered wandering out of the hide-out that her Doctors and Doctore had set up, and into the Haven. Everything had been- it had been- she had been dizzied by confusion, and had needed something to latch onto, and they had all been out reading letters. She had ended up on a busy path, and the crowd itself had been suffocating, just its size. But there had been a gaze on her, she had felt there was a gaze on her, someone was looking at her, looking for her, and she looked into the crowd, and she saw them, or she thought she saw them, but the spark of recognition was a thing dancing away from her fingers, taunting her, and then she looked for it, she searched and nearly every stare looked like she should recognize it, and she couldn’t tell, she couldn’t tell who and what and where she even should be trying to recognize, so – to save herself, she stopped trying.)

She had been staring down at the ground for several seconds. Silicon slowly cleared her throat, and managed an awkward, low, rough. “No.”

And yet, as he always did, Zeal bulldozed right on. “Ey, right, fair enough, me either. Far as I know, I think I was some sort of military guy working mostly alone out there before that moon went and got me. Some sort of scout, based on how fast I am, heh heh heh. Found a few old pieces of fabric in my pocket I think might have been ribbons or something, tattered to shit though. Vagrant by day (you ever just get that crazy hobo stare?) and scout by night, old soldier giving his all until one day he gives up his very mind…! Oh, don’t you think it’s tragic, Silicon?”
   
Zeal stared at Silicon, this time, until she suddenly realized that he was expecting an answer from her, and more importantly that he would not leave until she gave one, something that she let out a soft groan at. It took her several moments to try and mull over the question before, eventually, she managed something, not totally sure, but not thrown out totally at random either: “…no.”
   
And Zeal’s face instantly lit up in a wide grin, brilliant and vicious, ready to eat someone alive. “A-HA! See! You’re already on the right track, Silicon, you’re getting there yet! Some old soldier, whoever he was, would have had to stop, wouldn’t he? He’d have broken apart in some sad whimpering way as age finally tore him at the edges. But, well, I’ve seen the corpse of a Hunter, dear Silicon, and ohhhhh what we are isn’t entirely human. Now, I don’t have to stop. I can keep going, keep gunning things down, keep swinging, til it’s my spine’s out. And that’s what we Hunters are for, everything else is just… well, the fun you have when you’re not out slaying. You pay attention to the killing first and foremost, that’s the thing that you do do right. Just keep in mind…” Zeal patted her shoulder. “You really ought to not take the fun out of the fighting, too! Doesn’t do a mind or body well to be so dour all the time. Listen to your elders!”
   
And like that, Zeal was off, to do who knows what, who knows where. Silicon took a moment to put her face in her hands. People were difficult to understand as a rule, but Silicon was sure that whatever Zeal was was a level above - a force of nature packed into the shape of a wiry old man. Deep breath in… deep breath out. Deep breath in... Deep breath out. Blast it all… it was going to take forever to get back into her routine after this.

The simple bow is not still in stock. Remember that bids are only resolved at the end of the turn (unless you perform a buyout), and so you won't be able to take that simple pistol with you if you're also expeditioning this turn.

I think you might have forgotten this from last turn.  Contract was signed to borrow funds that turn also, so Aigre Excalibur should now have the simple pistol.

(Disclaimer: just because I am the GM does not make my items more canon than anyone else. Just felt like writing.)

Eraman Lee clenched his fists at his sides as he stood before the Tavern. It shouldn't exist where it did. No sane person would have built a Tavern here, and no sane defense planner would have allowed it.  The Tavern was located in an open section of the cavern just behind the primary lift that connected to the surface farms. The open space had, in years past, been left open intentionally as a killbox in the event that attackers breached the external checkpoint and assaulted through the lift. Local lore said that the Tavern had started with a few citizens delivering drinks out to soldiers on guard, then setting a few stools and tents down, then stringing those stools and tents together. The powers that be; the loose alliance of guards, haven watch, miners, growers, and administrators, had never had it officially abolished, so the ramble grew. Tents joined together into large rooms, lines hung from the cavern roof supported a sloped canvas 'ceiling', and strings of hooded lanterns lit the entire structure like softly bouncing will-o-the-wisps. The ramble became 'The Tavern'. People called it various things, but no one ever got to 'name' it because no one exactly 'owned' it. People brought bottles of booze, traded coin and barter from the tenders, the tenders paid a few coins to servers and cooks, and charged what they could out of the regulars. No one owned anything here. If they did, there would have been someone to tell to tear it down. As it was all the Watch, the Administrators, or anyone could do was to tell the regulars to up and leave. Which wasn't going to happen.

Because the regulars, the people who frequented the-Tavern-that-shouldn't-exist, the Tavern so close to the surface a strong arm could chunk a rock all the up the lift shaft out into the fields above, were Doctors. Doctors, and their Holy Hunters.

Nobody would be fool enough to trifle with that community.

Eraman swallowed the terror rising in him. He was, in a manner of speaking, about to trifle with that community. He'd prepared for this moment a hundred times, lying awake in his bunk while the other apprentices slept and planning out what he'd do and what he'd say. He knew, one way or another, that he wasn't like his peers. He was good with tools, and his master said he had an eye for the work, which was high praise from the curmudgeonly old man, but Eraman couldn't stand by and cut and shape leather for his whole life - not while Holy Hunters fought and died so he could hide in a cavern. He couldn't be a Hunter himself, but he could take some of the weight off the blessed warriors who had bought Haven its recent resurgence of hope and life. Eraman knew well the stories of the... instabilities and eccentricities of the Hunters, but he could weather that if it meant doing something with meaning. He would introduce himself to the first Hunter he saw in the Tavern, explain what he could do, and pledge service.

With a stomach that churned acid and a heart full of fear, Eraman squared himself with the Tavern's door. In a gesture of eccentricity or defiance, someone had actually given the conjoined-tent-structure of a Tavern a real wooden door. It didn't make sense, but it gave the integrally transient building a bizarre sort of threshold - a rubicon that Eraman could reach out his hand to trespass. If he turned back now, he'd either slip back to the bunks unnoticed or get a tongue-lashing from one of the journeymen if caught. It wouldn't really matter, both would be a safe retreat to a life of ease and relative comfort. If he went forward, he'd be signing up for a life of pain and battle at best, and a protracted but horrific death at worst. Despite knowing what awaited him, Eraman knew the choice he had to make. He'd been too young when the cursed moon rose, too weak, to choose to fight, but now-

"In 'er out ye fuckin' donkey," growled a half-slur from behind Eraman.

Eraman whipped around, stammering an apology at the Haven Watch veteran behind him, the old guardsman's conical hat lopsided on his greying head. The guardsman looked more confused than anything else at Eraman's dallying in front of the door, and Eraman reflexively opened the door for the older man out of politeness, letting him enter the tavern first.

The old soldier narrowed his eyes, as though looking for some implied slight, then crooked his hand in an extremely impolite gesture and stumped past.

Eraman found himself standing awkwardly in the Tavern doorway, the line of no-return he'd talked up so far in his head suddenly blurred and trespassed. Eraman shrugged helplessly and muttered a quick prayer to Laikasa for favorable judgment, then ducked inside.

The interior of the Tavern was everything Eraman had imagined. The draped canvas ceiling was thick and blackened with pipe-smoke, adding a perpetual misty haze. Dried grass and rushes, matted with unidentifiable stains, obscured the cavern floor completely. Several half-open tent flaps on the walls implied 'private' rooms adjoining the main tent area, and the bar itself was a massive structure of tables, chests, cabinets, and counters that had all been nailed together in the center of the room. A dozen patron tables in varying sizes filled out the rest of the main tent, with various groups of guard and watch veterans clustered up closer to the bar while behind them, with a good row of empty chairs separating the groups, several doctors sat in deep conversation. 

As Eraman looked around, panic suddenly flared in his chest. In all his imaginings of this scenario, he'd never considered the possibility that he'd get this far and fail to find a Holy Hunter at the Tavern. Frantically he scanned back through the doctor's tables, his eyes eventually settling on a figure seated alone in a thick cloak, the hood still pulled up. They seemed to be doing nothing at all, just staring straight down into the mug in front of them. There was no way to be sure, but it was possible that...

As Eraman watched, the figure growled and smashed their mug with a lightning-fast backhand, shattering the wooden vessel to splinters and spraying a quarter cup of booze across the walls of the tent. For a heartbeat, the conversation stopped. Patrons looked up, looked to the table occupied by the solitary individual, and the conversation resumed as the rest of the patrons collectively disregarded the event. The solitary figure didn't stand, they just remained seated with arms still raised as though inspecting them. Even from where Eraman stood, he could see the strange burls that warped the Holy Hunter's limbs, growths like armor both perverting and shielding their flesh.

Holy Hunter Ochyrosi.

Eraman's heart hammered in his chest. Definitely not the Hunter he'd hoped to pledge himself to.

Still. He had a plan. Just had to stick to the plan. Ochyrosi was a divine instrument. She would recognize and honor his conviction. She would. Definitely.

He just might have a drink first in order to work up a really good head of conviction.

The bar itself had a couple of open clusters of stools, and Eraman seated himself as far from the other patrons as he could. The closer of the two bartenders, a woman who looked old enough to have a decade on Eraman, but young enough to credibly claim she wasn't yet thirty, mercifully noticed him immediately and saved Eraman the trouble of trying to flag her down. He hadn't been in many places that served alcohol, and the dukes apprentice work was worth did not buy anything beyond a few flagons of fungus-based beer for the Holy days and celebrations.

"Hey, new face," the woman said as she walked over to his empty section, leaving a couple other bar patrons to their drinks. She was tall, probably taller than Eraman if he was standing, with shoulder-length gentle curls of sandy brown hair that probably would have lightened to blonde if it got out in the sun enough. Her face was armored in the cheap makeup made from miner's black and crushed redbug from the subterranean river, but her expression was surprisingly kind. "You get lost, kiddo, or did you come here for a drink?"

Eraman tried not to let the 'kiddo' sink in as he took the stool. "A drink," he said, trying to make his voice steady and deep, practicing for when he addressed Ochyrosi.

"M-hm." The bartender crossed her arms under her breasts and leaned up against one of the bolted-together liquor cabinet, arching an eyebrow slightly.

Eraman held her gaze until it started to become uncomfortable. Which was very quickly. "Um. Please?"

The woman laughed, a sound so strange in the Tavern that it paused the conversation for almost as long as Ochyrosi's violent outburst. "Kiddo, do I look like a nun of the Telepathic Heart? What is it you want to drink?"

"Oh, right, er," Eraman felt his cheeks heat as the voice he’d been practicing broke completely. "Just a mushroom beer, please. Sorry."

The woman gave a joking half curtsy and filled a mug, setting it down in front of him and waiting for him to take a drink before leaning back up against the liquor cabinet where she'd been before. "So, new face, you've got your drink, you don't look lost..." She grimaced suddenly, her expression betraying a fleeting pain as she shifted against the cabinet. "And I have to ask, and you know I have to ask, what's a nice kiddo like you doing in a place like this?"

"I," Eraman started, then felt the flush that had only just begun to subside come back and he let the words die. Telling an ordinary person about what he wanted to do suddenly seemed incredibly stupid.

The woman's smile became conspiratorial and she leaned in. "Don't worry, I can keep a secret. Impressing a girl? Trying to get into the Haven Watch? Oooh, black market contact for a Doctor?"

Eraman steadied himself. Fixing his vision on the woman's nose. He could do this. If he could tell this woman, he could tell Holy Hunter Ochyrosi. "I, Eraman Lee, come to pledge my life and service to aid the Holy Hunters in their divine quest against the cursed moon. I have little to give, but I owe everything I am and more to those who fought and died to bring me to safety and prosperity. What little it is, I wish to pledge it to the Holy Hunt, so that I may protect others as I have been protected, and pay back the debt I have deepened with each self-serving breath taken before this moment." Eraman felt a small tug of pride as he finished. He hadn't stuttered, his voice hadn't broken. Hesitantly, Eraman broke his death stare on the bartender's nose and really looked at her expression.

She seemed surprised, but, mercifully, she also looked like she was taking him seriously. "Wow. That's a helluva thing."

Eraman nodded, fidgeting and glancing back to the table where Ochyrosi was now sitting silent and alone again. "I just don't know how to properly address Holy Hunter Ochyrosi to take me as their... squire? Assistant? I don't know." Eraman shook his head and took another long drink of the mushroom beer. It was aggressively terrible, but his stomach had been so twisted thinking of this moment that he hadn't eaten today and the brew was calming him quickly. "All I know is that I can't let other people bleed for me any more. I can't just work an ordinary job like, like some miner, or leatherworker or - "

The woman nodded, following along. "A bartender?"

"Exactly, I -" Eraman paused, his brain catching up to the conversation. "Uh, no, I mean," he broke off, making a plaintive motion in the air while the woman gave him an arched eyebrow. "I didn't mean it like that. Please accept my apologies, miss..."

"Hunter Libra, of the order Sidereo."

Eraman felt himself become suddenly very sober. The mushroom beer went instantly dry in his mouth but began sweating itself out through his palms with impossible alacrity. "You. I didn't. Holy Hunter?"

"Mhm, Kiddo," the woman said, the arched eyebrow relaxing as one of the other bar patrons flagged her down for a drink.

"But, it's.... You don't seem as, well, what I mean to say is that you..." Eraman paused, staring at the woman's back as she walked away and searching for a way to describe the difference between Libra and the other Hunters he'd heard described time and time again in town legends.

"Guanopsychotic?" Libra supplied helpfully, topping off the mug of another patron with a twist of Miner's Milk and turning back to lean lazily on the counter in front of Eraman, arms crossed beneath her. "Completely fucked in the head in a mysterious and darkly tragic manner? Cursed with a burden of responsibility and madness too terrible for a mere mortal to bear?" She smiled, the lipstick armored expression shockingly genuine.

"Err, I wasn't going to say it like that, but yes. You seem really, really... normal. N-not that that's a bad thing!" Eraman stammered quickly, trying to correct course as Libra's smile only grew wider. "I just. You are not what I expected from a Holy Hunter..." Eraman felt his voice trailing off as he finished, eyes falling to stare into his half-drunk mushroom beer. It suddenly felt very foolish to come here. He'd imagined pledging himself to the service of one of the Holy Hunters, helping them carry the terrible burden they shouldered for Haven's sake, but now... Now he couldn't even talk to one without making an ass and an idiot of himself. Apparently being able to open a tavern door didn't change who you were after all. He heard Libra chuckle and push up from the counter, and a moment later a pair of slim shot glasses clinked to the bar beside his beer.

"A round on me, kid. Drink up, and let this Holy Hunter kill a bit of that moon-monster of nervousness you're bringing with you," Libra said, swirling a tall bottle with a tight spigot and pouring a thin stream of honey-colored liquid into both glasses. She flinched slightly in the middle of the swirl, as though stretching a sore muscle, but corrected with only a few drops scattered. "Now. The question you didn't ask is why. Why am I here, serving you up a drink like any other normal working stiff, while Keravnos is babbling at the void inside a Candle, Moonblade is off being tragically sweet with her wife, and Ochyrosi is contemplating ruining another of the tables for the brief and splintery fun of it. One moment, hun," Libra added, settling the bottle of ochre liquid back behind the bar and moving to tend to a few other customers.

Eraman picked up the shot he'd been poured and sniffed experimentally. It smelled sweet and acrid, like sugar and turpentine, with a strange aroma that reminded him of fresh leather in the machine shop. A flexible scent, if he had to put a name to it, though that didn't make any sense even in his head. Experimentally, he sipped at it and immediately gasped at the few drops that hit his tongue. His mouth felt like it was shriveling inwards, with a wave of sour-and-sweet chased backward up his throat by the wash of alcoholic air that followed his initial gasp. With a force of will, Eraman smoothed his expression into what he hoped was less of a pinched lemon-face and into more of a masculine grimace and gently set the shot back down.

"Pick it up, kiddo," Libra said from the side, almost the instant the glass touched back down with the countertop. "Trust the Divine Hunter on this one." She winked at Eraman as she walked back up to the pair of shots on the bar, picking up the untouched one and raising it to her lips before pausing for Eraman to join.

Eraman looked back down at the honey-colored liquid. He could leave right now. He didn't belong here. His master would be furious with him for drinking even the beer, it dulled the senses and unsteadied the hands. It was a strange problem to realize suddenly, but it seemed to embody everything here. Everything he'd done was a mistake. What the Hunter was doing was... humoring him, trying to include him in something he wasn't - or worse, she was just playing with him. Eraman winced, closing his eyes, then released his grip on the shot and moved to stand.

"Kid." The tone wasn't mocking, it wasn't commanding, but it still reflexively raised Eraman's downcast gaze to lock back with Libra's eyes. They weren't smiling now, but neither was there anger or mockery at Eraman's apparent intent to leave. "Please, trust me on this one. Have a drink." Her eyes never left his. Dark and brown, with the edges of crow's feet just beginning to form at the corners, she suddenly seemed much more than the sardonic bartender she'd been a moment ago.

Eraman trusted her. He clenched the shot in his hand and threw it back. He'd never done that before, but he'd seen it done and it didn't look complicated.

Burning amber liquid hit the back of his throat, covering his tongue and smashing into his epiglottis. Eraman gagged instantly, his body reacting instinctively with revulsion to the flavor of a half-fermented lemon slathered in honey being punched forcefully down his throat even before his brain processed the fullness of the wretched taste. Wide-eyed, he spat and retched repeatedly on the bar as Libra took her own shot. Mercifully, she also immediately puckered her face and gasped as she swallowed the demon liquor. She did, however, manage to keep hers down, her eyes closed as her expression processed a nigh-unto-vomiting level of revulsion. Chuckles from around the bar made Eraman's face burn as he spat and reached for a bar cloth, trying to sponge up his mess.

"Imagine," Libra began, her eyes screwed shut. "That you woke up to this flavor. Nothing else. You can't remember meat nor mushroom, not a leaf of green nor a bit of fruit. Nothing else but this. Everyone tells you that you knew what flavors were, that you tasted some really keen things in your time, but that's all done with now and you've been brought back to this." Libra shuddered, opening her eyes and slowly setting the shot down. "It's -" She did a double-take on Eraman cleaning up the bar. "Kiddo, stop that. It's my job to clean the bar and I got you into this mess. Don't steal my livelihood," she added, holding out a hand for the rag.

Somewhat sheepishly, Eraman complied, handing the wet rag he'd been cleaning the bar off with to the Holy Hunter.

"Anyway," Libra continued "That's it. That's your first moment as a Holy Hunter. Then everybody starts telling you how terrible it is that you can't remember any of the nice flavors, but boy, do they have a wagonload of horse shit for you to eat - and there's nobody else in town who can eat it. It's really awful that you have to eat it, but you're the only one who can, so get to work." Libra grimaced, forcefully wiping the countertop. "That's how most of them get treated. They wake up with no memories to hold on to, then get told to go out into the darkest and bleakest shit imaginable and suffer horror after horror, because they're the only ones who can. No, it doesn't hurt them like it does normal people, but that's because they have nothing else to compare it to." Libra stopped, locking eyes with Eraman. "You remember the taste of that shot?"

Slowly, very much wishing he didn't still have the aftertaste of it and bile clinging to his teeth, Eraman nodded.

"And, if I gave you the choice, would you rather eat a mouthful of horse dung, or swallow another shot?"

Eraman hesitated and Libra nodded.

"The very fact that it's a question is my point," she said, tossing the rag aside as real anger rises in her tone. She hushed her voice to a hiss that kept the conversation between the two of them but lent it a deadly intensity. "The reason Hunters are such 'tragic figures' is because everyone treats them that way. They aren't given a chance at another life. Keravnos is broken because no one gave him another chance. The doctors treated him like a weapon, a blessed crossbow bolt to hallow in a shrine until it is let fly, and then quickly forget about as trash when it breaks on the bones of whatever you needed to kill. Everyone else just goes along with that bullshit, but Keravnos - he's not actually crazy, he's just never been given the fucking opportunity to be sane. He -" Libra grunted suddenly, eyes bright with anger suddenly squinted shut as she clenched her hands together over her stomach. After a tense and unbreathing minute Libra shook her head and breathed out slowly, the calming breath tossing her curls forward.

Eraman waited for her to take several breaths before speaking up. "And... you?"

Libra snorted. The smile from before was gone. The humor fled. Her eyes were clouded and distant with pain. "I was defective. Unfit for the Hunt due to the procedure that 'saved' my life. I woke with no memories and a life without purpose, and so was immediately forgotten. That," she added, "is what saved me. That is what made me different."

Eraman waited silently, entranced as Libra breathed in deeply through her nose and out again repeatedly, the pain clearing from her stance.

"I had time. I found old 'friends' and learned about who I was. Someone who had known me since childhood told me about my family. They were... terrible people, to hear her tell it. Sometimes I almost remember," Libra paused, her hands lingering over a peculiar series of crescent-shaped scars on her collarbone "but I really and truly don't. I learned became a children's teacher because I was terrified of other adults. I hated being in crowds. I hated being outside. I hated being in the caves. I hated strangers. I..." Libra shrugged. "I was a very small person. I was. The more I heard of that me that was, the more I became grateful that I simply am not her anymore. I died. In every sense that mattered, that woman I was died. I like to think she was a good person, a scared and damaged individual who tried to help children be less like her, but I honestly don't know." Libra smiled again, a slightly sad half-smile. "I never knew her."

Slowly, beginning to understand, Eraman nodded.

"I learned new things. I got Koletti to teach me to tend bar," Libra said, jerking her thumb at the other woman tending bar, stout woman with a buzzcut the color of steel "and I met new people. Fellow Hunters, fellow townspeople. Big people, small people, everyone in the middle. People like you. I got a new life. Maybe I'll get called on to Hunt one day, and I'll probably die in some Gods forsaken alley if that's the case, but even if that comes to pass - I will have lived. Really. Lived. All that bitter flavor of the cure was washed away by a new life as Libra Sidereo, a life I've chosen to love." Libra's smile deepened for a moment as she finished, content, awash in memories, and then slowly faded away again. "The others, however, never had this chance. They are only told about who once were, what they lost. They get made into living ghosts, shells of people who died, and then everyone treats them as tragic pariahs when they have the audacity to seem haunted. I'm sorry, kid, but they don't need any more people swearing to their service or supporting the grand and noble cause of eating the wagon of horseshit that the doctors gave them."

Eraman felt his chest tighten and he nodded, accepting the chastisement. There were better people, stronger people, to help them carry that burden. People like Libra.

"What they need, kid, is someone to buy them a drink and talk to them. Really fucking talk to them - not about the end of days, not about the horrors that dwell just beyond the wall of sleep, not about an old life that they barely remember - but someone who talks to them about how piss-awful the mushroom beer is, about how Old Terry finally proposed to Widow Donnager. They need people to invite them down to the rat races, to get them to go read a book and weep about some simpering romantic nothing from the old stories. They need people to help them forge a new life with new memories that aren't all linked to the Hunt." Libra turned away then, and for a moment Eraman thought that was the end of the conversation, then she returned with two tall mugs of mushroom beer. "They'd rather feel pain than nothing at all, and that's a big damn problem for everyone. If you want to help, give them something else to feel. Anything. Talk to them, not as some lowly ordinary man to a Holy Hunter, but as two people over two mugs of r-e-a-l-l-y shite beer."

The tight knot in Eraman's chest suddenly puffed away, replaced by a stunned stillness as he looked down at the two drinks in front of him. He'd imagined a hero's journey, clad against the moon's corruption, heading to the surface, passing ammunition and stitching wounds as the tide of battle raged, and yet... somehow this seemed more impossible.

"They're just like you, Kid. They're scared, they're alone, and they want to be something, anything - and so latch on to those goddamn doctors for a lifeline of purpose. That gives them a reason to fight." There was no smile on Libra's face, just an intensity of purpose. "Give them a reason to live. Ochyrosi likes cats. Bring her a beer. Make conversation, force it if you have to, but give her something other than blood and pain and her own scarred reflection. Cats don't give a fig or a feather if you're covered in fingernails. None of these poor Hunters deserve the silence of a disconnected life, but it is what they're going to get if you don't help.

Eraman stared down at the mushroom brew, watching the ripples quiet across its surface.

Libra nodded, rapping the bar. "You said you wanted to help, kiddo, and this is it."  She started to turn away, her attention moving to the rest of the bar as Eraman stared silently at the two beers.

"They were wrong," Eraman said, his voice thicker than he meant it to be.

Libra stopped, turning back and cocking her head. "Oh?"

Eraman nodded, trying to quiet the tremble in his voice. "You're not defective," he said, taking one beer in each hand as he stood up from the bar counter.

The smile finally returned to Libra's face, full and broad. "Nah, I'm a defective Hunter, that's right. But, as a person, I think I'm going to fit in here just fine. I think you will too, come to think about it. Good luck, kiddo."

Eraman felt himself smile a little as Libra gave him an encouraging nod, then he steeled himself to turn back around and seek out the Hunter he'd identified as Holy Hun- as Ochyrosi earlier. His master had a cat. He could talk cats.

With a stomach that still churned acid, a heart full of fear, and two beers, Eraman turned to go try and save a Holy Hunter.

In the event a gained resource cannot be split evenly, individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.

Orders who wish to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the members turning back are entitled to no more than their percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition.  In the event a member cannot obtain their full share of the loot in this case - whether due to encumbrance or some other reason - they likewise forfeit whatever share they are unable to recover.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the loots value to return the equipment, regardless.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loots value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool. In the case of hunter death, all items belonging to the hunter, and items added to the loot pool are the sole property of the owner of the hunter and are not split in accordance to the loot distribution rules listed above.

All involved Orders are obligated to transfer the results of an encounter to the other Orders, in full and without modification, at the start of the turn.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

Easily wielded in one hand, low-power repeating pistols such as this were mass-produced by first-generation automatons during the early years of the great expansion. The mainspring of the loading mechanism is somewhat unreliable, owing both to the inaccuracies of the golemcraft labor force and the relative cheapness in the material, and the rate of fire is somewhat inconsistent as a result.

Another story, which I already shared in the Discord, but I'm putting here for posterity.

Spoiler: Ochyrosi (1) (click to show/hide)

Ochyrosi looked up as two mugs of beer were set down on her table. Some kid, not even twenty, was looking at her with... the usual expression of awe and terror.
"Fuck off, kid", she said half-heartedly.
The youth ignored this directive, and sat in an empty chair, pushing one of the beers her way. She took a closer look at him. Actually, there was something more in his expression. Something she couldn't quite place. As most things did, this made her angry.
"You deaf? I said fuck off."
"I- I- brought you a beer", the youth stammered.
She regarded the mug before her.
"You brought me pigswill, you mean. I ain't drinking that shit. I don't know who put you up to this, but they were messing with you. Go home, and leave me the fuck alone!"
"I'm Eraman", Eraman said, continuing to ignore her. "I- I- heard you like cats"
Ochyrosi was temporarily flummoxed. This was not how these conversations went. As with all things, she fixed this by getting even angrier.
"Fuck you. I'm allowed to like cats. Do you have any fucking idea who you're messing with, kid?"
"I'm not- I mean- that is- uh, my master has a cat... I could show her to you?"
Ochyrosi stood up, knocking over her chair. "FUCK OFF, KID", she yelled- loud enough to silence the rest of the Tavern.
Eraman trembled in his seat, but didn't get up. "I- there are some stray cats I could show you instead?"
Ochyrosi slammed a fist on the table, grabbed the mug of beer and threw the contents at Eraman. She then stormed off, the crowd moving aside to let her pass.
"They're in the small cavern on the third level!", the dripping Eraman shouted after her.

---

"Morning, Ted."
"Huh? Oh, aye, morning Al."
"Look like you saw a ghost, Ted."
"Aye... maybe I did, Al."
"How's that, Ted? An' get me a pound of sausage."
"Sure, Al", Theodore said, reaching under the counter for the sausages.
"'Bout that ghost?", Alfred inquired as the sausages were being wrapped.
"Aye... Holy Hunter Ochyrosi was here before you."
"That's no good, Ted. She break something?"
"Nay... just wanted to know if I had any scraps to spare."
Alfred raised an eyebrow as he handed over the cost of the sausages. "She eats raw meat now?"
"Gods only know, Al. I didnae ask any questions, just gave her what I had."

Spoiler: Keravnos (1) (click to show/hide)

Keravnos looked at Keravnos, reflected in an intact window. Though the figure was not scrawny, it was not the image of a musclebound warrior either. The dark hair and tan skin suggested southern ancestry- Haven was a rather multicultural settlement.   
That is Keravnos. That is me.
He waved a hand at the reflection. The reflection waved back. The movement looked awkward, mechanical- like it had been planned out step by step. It was hard to believe those same hands could be responsible for lightning-fast axe-strikes.
What does Keravnos want?
The reflection stared at him with an unreadable gaze. All-white, unblinking eyes... was the lack of emotion displayed just due to physical inability, or did the person behind those eyes really not feel anything?
...not a question a reflection can answer, unfortunately.
A shout- Ochyrosi was calling for him. For Keravnos. Which was him. He turned away from the window, and followed the sound of her voice. There would be something to do, something to keep him occupied. Purpose. Distraction.

---

"Ker! Where the fuck are you! Ker! Get over- fuck, dude, where'd you come from?"
Keravnos pointed down the street, which- though stationary- seemed to be in the process of twisting and writhing; part of reality, but at the same time disconnected.
"You should wear bells, man. You'll give someone a heart attack some day."
Ochyrosi is joking, she knows wearing bells would be counterproductive to our operations. There is no need to point this out.
Keravnos shrugged.
"I think there are some of the Rotten on the square over there. We should smash their fucking skulls in!"
The square is not on the way to the town center. Going that way will delay the expedition, and risk injuries. It serves no purpose.
Keravnos shook his head.
"Why the fuck not?"
"Detour", he said.
"Aren't we here to kill Rotten?"
The purpose of this expedition is to eliminate Martyn before he can reestablish control over the town. Killing Rotten is a means to an end.
Keravnos shook his head, adding- "Martyn"
"Right, right. Bloke who killed the other guy. Fuck, I guess you're right. Fine. Where do we go next?"
The junction down the road showed signs of heavy boots, suggesting a Rotten Soldier patrol route. Following their tracks would be a good way of getting deeper into town.
Keravnos pointed down the street again. "Soldiers"
Ochyrosi regarded him for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. Let's pick up those fucking assholes and go."
She is referring to Mace Hawkshire and Lord Duffy. It is unclear whether she feels actual animosity. So long as she cooperates in combat it doesn't matter.
Keravnos nodded.

---

Ochyrosi hammered on the door to their temporary safehouse. After a few moments, they heard Mace ask for the password.
"Fuck you, Mace. Just open the fucking door."
Will Mace open the door? Would Keravnos open the door?
Mace opened the door.
A creature powerful enough to mimic Ochyrosi's voice and behaviour would not be stopped by a wooden door, so keeping it closed would be pointless.
Keravnos nodded at Mace as he stepped inside.

[...]

"Ker says there're Rotten Soldiers ahead. Reckons we should go after them."
"You sure?  That seems awfully chatty for Kerry", Duffy said.
"Fuck you. Ker can talk. He's just..." Ochyrosi waved her hands, grasping for the right word. "Concise."
It is true that (I) don't speak much. However, it seems unlikely Duffy is actually complaining. He is making a joke.
Keravnos shrugged.
"Soldiers typically patrol the inner streets. It'll get us closer to the church. Let's go", Mace said, before Duffy had a chance to respond.
Mace is preventing escalation. An argument would cost us time.
Keravnos nodded at Mace, then went to fetch Atlas.

---

Atlas the Servitor methodically climbed the steps Keravnos had just surmounted. Keravnos watched it do so.
Does Atlas think? Does it have motivation? Is there a difference between us?
Atlas bumped into Keravnos's leg. Behind it, the other Hunters were waiting.
Now is not the time for these questions. Should keep moving.
Keravnos turned and walked on. After a moment, Atlas followed. The alley, mercifully, connected to the same place it had done an hour ago, and they reached the junction without incident.

Keravnos halted by a large patch of mud, in which heavy bootprints were preserved. The other three regarded the tracks as well.
"Tsk tsk, getting their boots muddy like that. Very messy, don't you think Kerry?", Duffy quipped.
Duffy is making another joke. Are his jokes not funny, or does Keravnos not have a sense of humour?
"Right? Or maybe you like to get down and dirty? You and R-, ahem, Ochyrosi have a little fun when we're not around?"
Ochyrosi glared at Duffy, whilst Mace placed a hand on his shoulder- a gentle reminder not to go too far.
There's no time to worry about jokes. Focus on the expedition.
Keravnos shrugged.
"No getting through to you, huh? Spoilsport."
Tracks headed north. Keep moving.
Keravnos walked off, wordlessly, featureless eyes focused on the street.

---

They followed the Rotten Soldiers' trail further into Darremont. As always, the deeper one got, the less sense the streets made, and the worse the Lunacite growths got. At least the Lunacite made tracking the Soldiers somewhat easier, as their careless march left shattered crystals in their wake- most of poor quality and not worth collecting, though a few were added to the packs of loot adorning Atlas. Eventually the tracks led them to a small cobbled courtyard, the well in the centre completely overgrown with Lunacite. A particularly large crystal dominated the growth, throbbing with eldritch energy. A valuable find for the Doctors back home- but one that turned out to be guarded.

Keravnos regarded the pulsating Lunacite. As it had since his awakening, it spoke to him in a strange way. There was a familiarity, almost a comfort, in the glowing crystal- yet at the same time, it felt repulsive. Sometimes Keravnos wondered what it would feel like to surrender, but he could not think about it for too long without an almost painful ringing inside his mind. The Doctors had explained that the corrupted part of the psyche would always yearn to return to Lunacy, but that the inoculation guaranteed the mind would resist. They seemed to think this effect was unnoticeable for the Hunter- and maybe it was, for the others. Maybe he was the only one who felt it consciously. But then, he wouldn't know- they all knew not to talk about that sort of thing.
He was still deep in thought when Mace shouted a warning. Immediately he readied himself for combat- or, rather, Keravnos did. Because it was times like these where he and Keravnos felt like different people. He couldn't stop Keravnos from unhooking the twin axes and spinning about, eyes scanning for foes. He could see the outcroppings of Lunacite at the edge of the square starting to move, and noticed the two Rotten Soldiers raising their pistols in his direction- but Keravnos had already started running before he could comprehend what he was seeing.

As the fighting started, he and Keravnos merged in and out- it never affected his performance, but sometimes he was in control of the axes, and sometimes Keravnos was. Keravnos killed the first Rotten Soldier, he killed the second. It was routine fighting, not a particularly challenging encounter.
However, as he withdrew the axe from the second monster's neck, he thought he saw something in its eyes- a flash of pain, maybe? Fear? Anger? Regardless, it was impossible. The Rotten had only one emotion, madness. They couldn't think. They were mindless automata, driven by Lunacy in a cruel mockery of life. The blood dripping from his axes was not human blood, not anymore.
Right?
What if it was?
If they were fighting humans, would Keravnos care?
Would he care?
Was he devoid of empathy?
Would he ever be able to laugh at a stupid joke?
Was he just as much an automata as the Rotten or Atlas?
Was-

"Hey, Kerry, wakey wakey!", Duffy said, waving a hand in front of his eyes.
Keravnos looked away from his axes. Duffy was looking at him with a slightly concerned look, although it was quickly replaced by his characteristic grin once Keravnos reacted.
"Can't be falling asleep during the fighting, Kerry!"
Keravnos looked around. The Lunacite Horrors were dead. Mace was sitting against a wall, with Ochyrosi wrapping bandages around his arm.
Have to stop getting distracted. Focus on the expedition. Make sure Mace survives- we'll need his help later.
Keravnos nodded at Duffy. "Sorry", he said as he hooked the axes back to his belt.

(Really Late) Announcement: So, I recently added a system to handle expeditions in a bit more of a regular manner, which should help with me missing range brackets or preferred distances, etc. Meant this to go out with last turn, but time makes fools of us all. Will work this into the OP later as well.

Spoiler: Expedition Formatting (click to show/hide)

When you're sending out an expedition or proceeding from one stage of an expedition to the next, there's a list of things I need to know to make it go smoothly. I need to know what hunters are going where, what equipment they have, any equipment they want to use/avoid using, and how they intend to engage. These four blocks are pretty easy.

The first two, what Hunters are going and what equipment they have, it's pretty freeform. Something Like,


Expedition to Darremont's Bell
Dame Beatrice of Thorne
Mare's Leg Rifle
Cruciform Sword
T4 Ammo

Doug the Subway Fugitive
Canister Rifle
Serrated Axe
Adrenaline Shot
Rage Serum


I don't need to know the hunter's stats, or even what items are being slotted where as long as I know what Hunter they're going on. It's all pretty self-explanatory for me to punch in, and the important part here is WHO is going and WHAT they're carrying. The next section, the equipment you intend to reserve or explicitly use, is easy to format but occasionally difficult to think about. You only need to explicitly use an item if, in its usage block, it contains the phrase 'declare'. For instance, the adrenaline shot has to be declared before it's taken at the beginning of an encounter. Conversely, you only need to explicitly disable an item if it would be used automatically during an encounter. Spare ammo, for instance, is automatically used when the unit runs out of ammunition. You activate or disable items with the following command

Activate: [item name]
Disable: [item name]

Any item not explicitly Disabled will be Enabled, and any item not explicitly Activated before the Encounter will not be used. When adding commands, make sure the names are as exact as possible. So, if we add these commands to the above, we can get a total expedition that looks like,


Expedition to Darremont's Bell
Dame Beatrice of Thorne
Mare's Leg Rifle
Cruciform Sword
T4 Ammo
---
Disable: T4 Ammo

Doug the Subway Fugitive
Canister Rifle
Serrated Axe
Adrenaline Shot
Rage Serum
---
Activate: Adrenaline Shot


The last block is the biggest, and contains a number of commands. You need to set a Hunter's range brackets, their preferred range, their movement, and their targeting parameters. The first, range brackets, is done with a single string.

[Enable/Disable] Range: [Input]

The [Input] can be done in a number of forms. You can list out all the numbers you want as the simplest method (I.E: 2,3,4,5,9), you can specify a range (2-5), and unbounded range (3+, 9-), or you can mix and match all of the above. If you're using the 'Enable' command, then any range not within the parameters listed will be disabled, and the reverse is true if you're using the 'Disable' command. Next up is the preferred range of the Hunter, which is set easily as a single value,

Preferred Range: [Input]

The preferred range should be a single integer. Importantly, you can't set your preferred range to a range you can't fight at. If you try to do so, your range will be automatically set to 0, or melee. Movement is also simple, with only a couple options to choose from,

Movement: [Hold Ground/Walk Only/Run To Engage/Free Movement]

If set to 'Hold Ground' a Hunter will never take movement actions, towards or away from enemies. 'Walk Only' forbids sprinting in any case, but otherwise allows normal movement. 'Run to Engage' allows a hunter to sprint as long as they're outside any of their usable weapon ranges, and 'Free Movement' places no restrictions on sprinting or movement. This leaves only targeting parameters, which takes up the largest section, and should look like:

Melee Target Weights (
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
[...]
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
)

Ranged Target Weights (
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
[...]
[WeightName] = [WeightValue]
)

Where '[WeightName]' is any of the targeting types listed in the above "Explanation Of Stats" section, and the [WeightValue] is any integer. Any targeting type you don't set using this command is treated as 0. Combining all of the above, our final expedition manifest should look like,

Expedition to Darremont's Bell
Dame Beatrice of Thorne
Mare's Leg Rifle
Cruciform Sword
T4 Ammo
---
Disable: T4 Ammo
Disable Range: 1-, 4+
Preferred Range: 2
Movement: Run To Engage

Melee Target Weights (
Wounded = 1
)

Ranged Target Weights (
LeastNumerous = 2
Wounded = 2
HasRanged = 3
)

Doug the Subway Fugitive
Canister Rifle
Serrated Axe
Adrenaline Shot
Rage Serum
---
Activate: Adrenaline Shot
Enable Range: 2-7
Preferred Range: 7
Movement: Walk Only

Melee Target Weights (
Wounded = 2
MostNumerous = 1
)

Ranged Target Weights (
HasRanged = 2

TURNTURNTURN

^꧁Turn 18^꧂

NOCOF: The Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight returns home from the friendship expedition. Duffy patches Mace up, and together they continue forward with the OALM Hunters, augmented by new armaments.

Ara Memoria: Pulls Arianna back from Haven and pays back 5 dukes on their debt to the town.

RoboCorp: Jerv continues deeper into the Antiquarian's Manor

Dr. Alfina Almirez: Sends Draco in for extensive treatment at the renovated hospital, as well as allowing them to recuperate in their own time. They are thankful for this and present their doctor with a folded paper dragon. Dr. Almirez also bids ₹3.19 for a double pistol and a cruciform sword.

Value: ₹0.08 
Stock: 1     
             Name:        Folded Paper Dragon 
             Encumbrance: 0                     |   Consumable: No 

       Description: A dragon constructed from folded mushroom paper, dissimilar from those on heraldic crests due to a degree of unexpected... verisimilitude. Its body is thick, and Draco has used his fingernails to repeatedly crease scale patterns that mimic the wyrms of the northern reaches, whose mountains, silent people, and ancient beasts have foiled imperial knights and janissary for two centuries. This creation is beautifully detailed, despite the crudity of material, and Draco has added a pair of lunacite chips for eyes.

Can be broken into two lunacite chips.

A custom-crafted variant of the simple pistol, or, rather, the firing and loading mechanisms of two simple pistols broken apart and slotted back together. Somewhat more cumbersome to aim and fire, as well as prone to jamming, this weapon is nonetheless capable of dangerous bursts of low-caliber fire.

^꧁Darremont's Bell^꧂
As the NOCOF and OALM expedition draws ever nearer to the Church at the heart of Darremont's Bell, a haunting energy begins to build throughout the city. The lunacite crystals that grow throughout every bloodstained alley and corpse-choked boulevard hum with waiting energy, and anticipatory light that shines the brighter with each passing step.

^꧁Darremont's Bell - The Antiquarian's Manor^꧂
The pigeon traffic from the expedition to the Antiquarian's manor, however, reveals that their group appears to have breached the Manor's exterior, and now faces the difficult choice of where to go next.

Also most items are bids which resolve next turn, not outright purchases, unless you pay double to grab them instantly. Important distinction!

Awh man, nobody wants to borrow money?  I wasn't even gonna charge...much more...this turn.  Gonna go troll the discord link to find customers.

Any interest in Life Insurance? I'll need at least three players to make it work.  I'm thinking initial offer is to pay 3 sovs in the event a player's hunter is on a team that suffers a total party wipe.  At three insured, they must agree never to all be sending hunters on one team.  Life insurance in Haven you ask? I think I can get the numbers to work out, but lots of math with which I won't bother unless it looks like sufficient people are going to Buy In

EDIT: If you're all cheap, it'll only pay out if a player loses all their hunters, with the last hunter lost due to total party wipe.  AKA pays out 3 sovs irregardless of how many hunters you lose on one turn.  Again, the amount of coverage is commensurate with how much benefit players want.  I can create multiple tiers, and differentiate between my rough approximation of Whole and Term life insurance, but only if there is significant player interest.  Again, lots of math which I have no intention of doing 100% properly.

New style statblock for lucky coin, as requested by IO.

Spoiler: Lucky Coin (click to show/hide)

Value: ₹0.03 
Stock: 1     
             Name:        Lucky Coin 
             Encumbrance: 1            |   Consumable: Yes 

                            Effect                                      APP% |  CHG |  RE-CHG |  DUR |  CD |  THR |  
Declare On Encounter Start: Slightly adjusts loot tables in your favor. | 20%   1/1    Never     -      -     -      

       Description: A well-worn coin of polished silver, a prince. Though no cord remains, a small hole has been punched near the edge as though it was once worn as a superstitious charm. Strange in this time, as few regard silver coins as anything close to lucky - given their unfortunate passing resemblance to a full moon.

I am interested in using the services of Robocorp to outfit Pythia, and joining forces with other small and independent Doctors to go on an expedition to Darremont's Bell. This would be safer than going alone, and would allow us to penetrate deeper into the town. Loot would be split evenly.

Since being super evasive hasn't exactly worked out, we've elected to actually post the stats of the Oathblade - it is a very good piece of gear, of course, which is why we very much have been wanting to get it into our hands rather than have a second copy of it floating around. I have further ideas on why I think it would generally be a smart move for more than just us to take the deal we'd be offering of "we hand >12 sovereigns over to one of the MAAKA orders during the auction and they give us the heart", but that would I think be more natural to actually discuss in the Discord.

Also: Consider the bank closed for today, I've no opposition to the turn being run.  Not up to doing the accounting today.  Call it a holiday, penalizing the community for one turn, or just general Haven apathy.  Should lead to more funds and interest to lend out next turn.

Mace kept his aggressor firmly at bay with a foot pressed against the spider servitors brass-encased body.  This did not dissuade Galgornatrix in the slightest - nor did the lack of a mouth or any real ability whatsoever to harm its intended target.  Its brass spider legs simply dug grooves into the old floorboards below as it vainly attempted to close the distance.  Mace, utterly unconcerned with his entirely evitable demise, had finally managed to fall asleep.

The name had been a poke at the drastically reduced lethality of the zombie whose brains were currently powering the servitor.  Lord Duffy had come up with the name, of course.  He was currently seated across the room, poised next to the window.  His eyes swept the moon-lit street outside with a focus which was only betrayed by the idle flick of his fingers on the windowsill. A small, round metal object spun in place, slowed, then began to circle to a rest.  Duffy tapped it down with his fingertip, peeled it up, set it on edge, then flicked it again.  Over and over again it would spin, until Duffy's idle fingers tapped it still.

Perhaps he'd tapped a little harder than usual on his latest cycle of fiddling on the windowsill.  Perhaps it was the distant howl of a moon-addled beast somewhere deeper in town.  Perhaps Galgornatrix had finally managed to jostle him awake. Whatever the cause, Mace twitched and eased his eyes open.

His hands immediately tightened around the carbine sitting in his lap.  The cold steel and burnished wood felt nice in his grasp; it was a fine weapon.  It was a gift from his employers back in town: another tool to extend his life out here in the moon-blasted wasteland that made up the world.  His eyes took in the room in an instant, already alert for danger despite waking seconds prior. 

There was no danger to be found.  Ochyrosi was curled into a ball in a corner, chest rising and falling with a slow rhythm. Keravnos was sitting upright nearby, his milky eyes wide open despite being fast asleep.  And Duffy was still keeping watch.

The wooden chair Mace had fallen asleep in creaked gently as he pushed Galgronatrix fully away and stood up.  Duffy's head twitched in response, but the tension ebbed as soon as he saw the noise had simply been his travelling companion stirring from slumber.  His fingers flicked the round metal object once more, and once more he tapped it down as it slowly spun to a stop.

"Can't sleep?"  Duffy asked, his voice low and soft to avoid waking the OaLM Hunters. 

"Slept well enough."  Mace picked his way across the room towards where Duffy sat.  He took care to avoid the floorboards which creaked the most.  Galgornatrix, despite their relatively simple nature, instinctively followed Mace's footsteps.  The spider servitor bumped lightly against his leg.

Mace ignored the servitor and peered through the window.  They were elevated off the street, and he could see a solitary rotten limping dumbly through the mud below.  Duffy's eyes followed the beast as it stumbled slowly out of view.  His fingers idly flicked the round metal object again, and Mace was now close enough to see it was a simple silver ring.  It gleamed in the moonlight as it spun, slowed, and then was promptly tapped still before it could come to a natural rest.

"Getting married?" Mace asked, cocking an eyebrow.  Duffy grinned in response.  He glanced up at Mace, who was still cradling his new carbine in the crook of his arm.  The Hunter had fallen in love with the weapon the first time he laid hands on it.

"I could ask you the same thing."

"You caught me.  Carbine and I will be eloping with the loot once it’s our turn to keep watch.  We’re thinking of having a destination wedding."

"Mace Hawkshire, telling a joke?  You must be in a good mood."

"Hard not to be.  We're all here, aren't we? Unscathed?  Victorious?"

Duffy fell silent at that, lost in thought.  Mace studied him for a moment - Duffy had been quiet ever since they'd stormed the church.

"What's wrong, Duff?"

"Hard to believe.  We walked out of that church without a scratch on us.”

Mace nodded.  His face grew serious as he thought about Martyn, the only lucid lunacite monster they’d ever encountered.  “I was hoping he wouldn’t be there.  Martyn, I mean.”

“Doctors were right, as it turns out.  Who would have guessed.”  Lord Duffy paused as movement in the street caught his attention, but it was simply a lone hound sniffing along the gutter.  “The great Governor Martyn, Betrayer of Darremont.  Laid to rest for the third time.  You were Awake for the first expedition, weren’t you?”

“Aye.  But only just.  They left before I’d been inoculated.  The first time I met Ebony was when she came back from that expedition.  It was far less…successful than ours.”

“She doesn’t like talking about it.”

“Can’t blame her.  They lost a third of their party.  Ebony was on deaths door herself.  Hand split in two, held together with a winding mess of gauze.  Small wonder she refused to come a second time.”

“You were about there yourself.”

Mace frowned at that.  His leg itched – the bone was still fractured, but the undying splint holding it together muffled the pain and mimicked the functionality well enough.  Galgornatix nuzzled against it in a way that could have been mistaken for affectionate, had he not known the servitor was vainly trying to eat him.

“What a way to go that would have been.  My second life over in the blink of an eye.”

“I bet that’s why they gave you the gun.  To keep you from getting your ass kicked twice.”

“Can’t help but notice they didn’t get you anything.  Maybe they just like me better.”

“Maybe they just thought I could handle myself,” Duffy countered.  “I bet I did them proud.  They’ll give me a gold star on their little clipboards.  ‘Congratulations on not dying, Duffy’.  Though, if I did die, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.  Just the end of me.”

“Where’s this coming from?”

“Ever notice how Ochyrosi and Keravnos don’t talk about Fylakas?” 

The two of them glanced over their shoulders.  The OaLM Hunters were still fast asleep, or at least feigning it well.  Mace frowned.

“I imagine that’s a sore subject.  I’m not surprised those two chatterboxes neglect to talk about it.”

“Mace, come on.  We spent four days trudging through hell to kill the guy who killed Fylakas.  They didn’t mention him once.  Not even to talk about strategy.  I doubt they even care, he was probably just a coworker to them.”

“Is that what you think we are? You, me, and Ebony? Just coworkers?”

“Maybe?  But you two are all I’ve got, and you’ve both got somebody.  Maybe I don’t matter as much to you two as you do to me.”

“Duff – “

“I know, I’m not going to harp on it.”  Duffy sighed, flicking the silver ring once more and sending it spinning.  A moment of silence passed as Mace studied the spin of the ring.  All at once, it clicked into place.

“…ah.  Who is she?”

Duffy smiled.  It was the first genuine smile he’d had since they left Martyn’s church. 

“Trixxy.”

“Trixxy?”

“Yep.  With two x’s.”

“That her real name?”

“Just as real as your name, Jasper.”

“Touché.  Let me guess…Velvet Diamond?”

“Yep.”

“Uh…huh.  Is she expecting you to propose, or is this going to be a surprise?”

“A surprise.”

“…”

“Don’t give me that look.  Just you wait, she’s going to be Lady Trixxy once we get back to town.”

“I just don’t want you getting your hopes up, Duff.”

“I’m a Holy Hunter.  I have a silver ring, recovered from the heart of Darremont.  I am a fantastic lover.  I think I’m justified in getting my hopes up.”

“She’s a Normal.  She won’t get It.”

“She’ll get It.  And on our honey moon, she’ll be getting it all night long.”

“I’m just saying – “

“No, no - you don’t get to just say.”

Duffy snapped suddenly and his voice rose dangerously loud.  Orchyrosi grumbled in her sleep across the room.  The two of them fell quiet as they waited for her breathing to even out, then Duffy continued.

“You may not care about your brother, or who we were before.  But I do care.  And I’m tired of waiting for someone to come out of the woodwork and claim me.  So I’m going to rebuild the best damn second life any Hunter could possibly want.  And when I die on some cursed jaunt through the apocalypse, it’ll be with a smile on my face because I’ll know I lived that life exactly the way I wanted.”

Mace pursed his lips and gave Duffy a hard look.  Duffy returned it with an even steadiness that rarely showed itself in his demeanor. 

“I’ll tell you what, Mace.  You meet your brother.  Talk to him.  Learn who you were before.  And then I’ll think about taking your advice about this sort of thing.  Because – and no offense here – “ Duffy’s voice mellowed, going from hard to soft as he drove the point home. “ – because I’m not going to take advice about how to live my second life from someone who could very well be repeating his first.”

Maybe you should consider some sort of swap? Bandit Dagger for Pistol, some exchange of sovereigns to even it out perhaps?

Robocorp is excited to announce a new way of doing business. We believe that through this initiative, unused equipment, loose funds, and other investments can start making you money today, rather than sitting around unused.

Quote from: Robocorp Investment Initiative

Robocorp has always been a leader in the world of indepent operation and debt accumulation. Today, I propose an alternative way to make your money work for you: investment.

Robocorp intends to buy a new hunter over the next several turns, and would like you to join in investing into them.

Shareholder's will be credited for their investment in a loot share of any expedition using their donations, as determined by their investment. And that loot share will persist until investors have doubled their initial investment on funds or equipement, and thrice on hunters. Furthermore, being a shareholder, you will receive any expedition reports in which your investment is used.

Interested investors can not only invest Sovs, but can transfer ownership of weapons, equipment, or even hunters into the Initiative. All items/hunters used on these expeditions will receive an loot share of the expedition based on the percentage value added to the expedition by your invested equipment and/or your monetary investment.

Interested parties should PM Roboson on discord for more information, and to discuss potential investments.

Remember, you promised to double my investment, so I'm looking to get ₹2 out of this.  Try for the The Antiquarian's Manor if you can, they pay better...

Robocorp denies this investment, as it is made in bad faith. As EuchreJack is aware, an investment used only for expedition fees will not return a profit.

As such, Robocorp denies the investment, as it is intended only to cause loss.

You are banned from any lending from Jack's Blacksands Bank for the period of 6 turns.  Your attempt to defraud your expedition companions caused a borrower's bag of sovereigns to come up light, and almost completely destabilized our fine institution and the entire Haven economy.  It is only due to the fact that you are a long-standing client that your ban is temporary instead of permanent.

Uh, I don't want to sound nitpicky, but don't you still owe me another 0.02?

Oddly enough, by my own calculation, I do owe you some extra interest, but it's only 0.01. 3 turns, 0.01 per turn, am I missing something?

Hm, I had thought it was 4 turns, but I've never been so good at that sort of thing.  I'd accept 0.01, ideally now so that we don't get into the partial pennies scenario.

^꧁Haven^꧂
The items brought back and sold from both the Antiquarian's manor and the second expedition to kill the seemingly immortal Martyn serve to fuel a number of breakthroughs, though some have more dire implications than others...

Unlocked:
Pure Moonlight Inoculation
Unfiltered Moonlight
Stunted Symbiote
Eldritch Firebomb

Additionally, steady donations to the Haven Asylum have resulted in tangible upgrades. The ability to provide full supportive care to the ill gives those Hunters that are chosen a considerable edge in beating back the ravages of illness, and it’s expected that this will translate into a small but noticeable increase in their overall skills. (Hunters will, on average, start 2 skill points higher)

Furthermore, the expansion of the Asylum has allowed for a few small experimental trials to take place. While the materials at hand are still woefully limited, and entirely incapable of saving a Candidate, they will allow them to persist a little longer on average. (On average, 1 fewer Hunter is removed from the asylum each round)

^꧁Carn Feuerlyn^꧂

The road to the City of Carn Feuerlyn is long, and pigeons arrive day by day to inform the doctors in charge of both Cartography expeditions of their respective group’s progress. The roads are mercifully clear, though the Holy Hunters cut around many small towns along the road in order to avoid any remaining presence of the moon touched around such gutted bastions of civilization.

The day the expeditions were scheduled to reach Carn Feuerlyn, however, the pigeon traffic stops suddenly. It takes two days for the next tenebrous pigeon to arrive, and though the news it bears seems far less grim than feared, the pigeon itself was severely burned from some kind of electrical discharge and seemed nearly dead.

From hushed conversation between the doctors, eavesdropping, and a bit of rampant speculation, Haven slowly learns of the fate of Carn Feuerlyn. As yet, none of the more conventional Rotten have been sighted - something has been cleaning Carn’s citizens off the streets, cutting them apart, and horrifically stitching them back together along with a packing of cruel ‘augmentations’. While most seem piteous, there do seem to be some far stronger and more intelligent creations made from the citizenry, in particular a report details an augmented creature capable of manipulating lightning via its implants - and very likely the type of creature that has been murdering the pigeons.

While few automata have been sighted thus far, it’s clear that Carn’s mechanical guardsmen have been fully corrupted and re-armed with lethal weaponry - inflicting significant damage to Holy Hunters with a barrage of rifle fire.

The outskirts of the city itself seem only lightly defended, but the journey up to the gate plaza that leads to the inner city will surely be a perilous one. Speculation about what lies beyond the gate flits from lip to ear like bonfire sparks, but there seems to be nothing concrete known.

       Description: One of the bells favored in the semi-mathematical prayers of the followers of Hieracchus.

For this reason, these beautifully sculpted prayer bells were designed to shatter after a single use.

^꧁Haven^꧂
A significant lull in the amount of items brought back by Hunters provides a welcome respite - the breakthroughs provided have been helpful to all walks of life, but there’s no denying that the toll of constant mad science can tax the stoutest mind. People are beginning to talk about how Ara Memoria should be able to pay back more on their debt, now that they've returned from an expedition...

^꧁Carn Feuerlyn^꧂

More burned and blasted pigeons arrive from Carn Feuerlyn, telling of harrowing tales of militarized machines becoming thicker and denser as the respective expeditions reach the Gate Plaza that will take them into the inner city. It would seem that in addition to the simple policing automata being reactivated, the ancient mining machines which drilled into the depths below have been brought back online and given grim purpose. Immense constructs of steel, it would take a madman to face a machine designed to drill through mountains with naught but mortal weaponry.

True war automata are also mentioned in the reports, the scorpion-hounds of the assault legion to be specific. Finding them in an urban setting isn’t terribly surprising, as they excelled in tight quarters, but it does indicate that a military force of scale has been subverted - or failed an assault on Carn Feuerlyn and was converted.

Worst of all are rumors and whispers of something new. A moonbeast that is a machine, a creature with blazing red eyes, raining fire from afar. Little reaches the public of this creature, other than that it exists, but it instantly becomes a topic of much debate both drunken and scholarly.

TURNTURNTURN

^꧁Turn 23^꧂

RoboCorp: Inoculates Candidate V3-9260 with a corrupt sample, to… unfortunate results. Jerv is ordered to return home, and the freshly inoculated Hunter, now Mac Smoliar, is sent out.

M?R: Bids ₹11.46 on a Bladesmaster’s Greatcoat, winning it. Additionally, they recall Silicon Dioxide and Zeal Under Moonlight.

Value: ₹3.67 
Stock: 1     
             Name:        ꕥBlademaster's Greatcoatꕥ 
             Encumbrance: 2                           |   Consumable: No

       Description: A thick Inverness coat with an imperial crest emblazoned on the mantle, constructed of oilskin over a thin but strong coat of mail. Despite its seeming looseness, a hidden internal structure allows it to be tightly buckled to the wearer's frame, allowing it to move with them as gracefully as a more tightly fit garment while still obscuring the wearer's outline and vitals. While impractical for field combat, such garments were popular with duelists and personal bodyguards.

Ara Memoria: Pays down 0.35 on their debt to Haven, soothing the grumblings, and pays to treat Arianna before sending her back off on the Magical Biscuit expedition. The later raises some concerns as to Dr. Memoria’s ebbing sanity.

NOCOF: Mace Hawkshire, Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight, and Lord Duffy return to Haven from Carn, discarding a pair of coins in order to help carry the remaining equipment of the ill-fated OALM expedition.

OALM: Keravnos returns home, carrying the possessions of his dead companions with the help of NOCOF.

Dr. Alfirna Aywanez: Draco returns home from the field

Iridium: Pythia Rests and recovers at Home

Andrea: Leo And Libra return to Haven

Aigre: Their Holy Hunter returns home, receiving the new name Artemis Aigreish upon their return.

^꧁Haven^꧂
Those of Haven Brace themselves for the oncoming rush of weird materials bound to Arrive from the pair of Carn Feuerlyn expeditions...

^꧁Carn Feuerlyn^꧂

Of note in the last moments in Carn Feuerlyn, Hunters send pack reports of small, strange, mechanical hand-like creatures that emerge from sewer grates and thought-to-be-abandoned buildings when the two lucky coins are dropped. The creatures seemed to have little combat ability, and the Hunters crushed several on immediate principal before others succeeded in grabbing the coins.

Perhaps, if enough items were dropped in Carn Feuerlyn, one could find out where the hands came from...

Spoiler: Private Journal of Apothecary Mirabile Vulpes, Nineteenth Lunar Rotation Post Founding
(click to show/hide)

Our charges of Mace Hawkshire and Lord Duffy, in conjunction with OALM charges Keravnos and Ochyrosi, have detailed the final conclusion of a successful expedition into Darremont’s Bell and having defeated the damned soul of Martyn. Only light wounds were obtained over the course of the expedition, and the materials and reagents recovered will prove extremely useful in value and in use. Our noble order should as a result be able to organize an expedition into Carn Feuerlyn as a result, though I fear what we will find.

Investment into the haven itself has been accepted by Doctors Filium and Noctua, though exactly what will be improved has yet to be decided. I must admit some amount of guilt that what has been recovered from Darremont has not been spent on our charges themselves beyond improving their equipment and healing their wounds. Despite the destructive nature of inoculation against lunar touch, they remain human. Our chares, each in their own way, have responded in a disturbingly human way to the circumstances they find themselves in. One charge has a lover from their past life, and all attempt to adapt to the responsibility forced upon them just as the folk of the haven.

I find myself wishing that they were not human, mere automatons that one could direct for their own purposes without a thought of their thoughts. But instead, we keep them as chattel and they serve almost willingly. I am certain that without them I would be dead or wishing I was. Even then, I find myself unnerved by their existence and the manner in which they exist but see no alternative to their use at this time.

I don't know if this is good or worth posting but this is the third draft I've made and I've decided to just say fuck it. I really enjoy the work others have put into exploring the nature of the hunters themselves, and have found myself drawn to the idea of exploring the mindset of those that have taken a dying individual, torn out the personality, and used the functionally new person as tools for profit and exploration. I don't feel that Doctors are a monolith in terms of how they feel about things, but the perspective I have taken is that some of them may take the view of them as a necessary evil. I dunno how well I have communicated that in a scant 300~ words, and might write some other entries to see if I can improve on this and do something actually interesting.

The above is a ramble that I dont seem to be able to clean up, so posting.

You are banned from any lending from Jack's Blacksands Bank for the period of 6 turns.  Your attempt to defraud your expedition companions caused a borrower's bag of sovereigns to come up light, and almost completely destabilized our fine institution and the entire Haven economy.  It is only due to the fact that you are a long-standing client that your ban is temporary instead of permanent. ISSUED TURN 19, ENDED EARLY ON TURN 22 due to bank's benevolence.

Ebony.

Spoiler: Moonlight Chronicles Chapter 4 (click to show/hide)

Moonlight Chronicles
Chapter 4

---

Ebony rolled the fabric between her thumb and forefinger.  With her other hand she repeated the motion to a separate dress.  In vain, she tried to detect some difference in the textiles, some reason why one was nearly double the price of the other.  Was it the color?  Was green harder to come by than purple?  Maybe it simply used more fabric – or the quality was higher.  Maybe it was harder to make, requiring more skill.  Or maybe it was something else entirely.

It was glaringly obvious just how out-of-place she looked in a shop like this.  She’d rampaged through the moonlit wastes with little more than steel and grit, and yet the side-glances the other customers gave her made her skin burn.  She’d left her equipment back at the bunks, so it wasn’t as if she had weapons strapped to her.  She’d showered after returning to Haven, so it wasn’t the reek of weeks-old grime.  Was it her drab, simple clothes?  A sleeveless undershirt and breeches tucked into worn boots?  No, it had to be the scars littering her skin.  The pink line which ran the length of her hand, the knots of pale skin denoting bite marks on her forearm, the thin bald stripe which cut diagonally through her hairline.  She was a freak.  She did not fit into a high-end clothing store like this.

She feigned interest in a dangling collection of beads.  The careful placement meant nothing to her; obviously someone had placed them here with artful intent, but Ebony couldn’t fathom the point try as she might.  Worse, they were a poor distraction from the eyes watching her just outside her field of view.  The fight-or-flight instincts which had kept her alive thusfar would not let it go.  She wanted to turn, to scream, to give them a reason to gawk at her.  To make a scene which so richly deserved the stares.  The muscles in her neck tightened as she kept herself in check.  Her jaw hurt from clenching her teeth.  She wasn’t even looking at the beads, her eyes were glassy and staring a thousand yards beyond them.  She’d been holding it for the past two minutes as her breathing came faster, and faster, and faster.

“Can I help you, Miss Ravensblight?”

How had they snuck up on her?  Ebony flinched, instincts demanding she attack, build distance, get into cover.  But there was no danger here.  Just a human: mortal and harmless.  A woman, short and freckled, her hair in a simple braid down her back.  Her eyes were brown.  Not wide-open and blown white, not clouded with decay, not crackling with lunacite.  This was a person.  A normal, regular person.

Ebony realized she’d been holding her breath.  The air hissed between her teeth and she forced her muscles to relax.  The woman flinched back at the hiss, and the little movement made Ebony’s guts twist unpleasantly.  No – no, she would relax.  She was relaxing and she would not be making a scene.  The ground under her feet was steady.  She was stable.  Her head was level.  She could get through this. 

“Ebony.”

“Pardon?”

“Ebony is fine.”

The woman paused for a moment and a smile crept onto her face.  “Of course, Ebony.  No, gosh – I was just being polite.  I’m…ah.  I’m a big fan.”

“A…fan?”

“Of course, I’ve read your Duke Dreadfuls.  All of the Holy Hunter Duke Dreadfuls, actually, but yours is…wow.  Yours is my favorite, I can’t believe I’m actually meeting you in person.  I’m Ana.  Ana Gnostis.”

“Gnostis…?”

“It’s Greek.  You can just call me Ana.”

“Ah.”

Ebony’s eyes flicked around the room, noting the exits, but also taking in an overt survey of the people staring at her for the first time.  The eyes staring at her weren’t full of disgust.  They weren’t gawking at a freak.  The looks were furtive, sure, but there was an adoration there that Ebony hadn’t noted at first.  She was a celebrity.

“You read my…”

“Your Duke Dreadfuls.  The entire Moonblade series.  ‘I am the Darkness’,” Ana pitched her voice low, trying to emulate a raspy, broody tone.  “Could you, um.  Could you say the line?”

“The – you want me to say what, exactly?”

“The line!  Your catchphrase!”

Ebony gapped her mouth for a moment, and in that second she realized other patrons had surreptitiously shuffled closer to eavesdrop on the conversation.  Ebony wet her lips and dropped her voice a couple octaves to whisper.

“I am the Darkness.”

Ana squealed and clasped her hands together.  Ebony felt her system thrumming with adrenaline, but the anxiety had shifted.  It wasn’t as…unpleasant?  She could still feel her pulse in her throat, but she didn’t feel like swinging a scythe through the clothing racks.  She smiled despite herself; a nervous and fragile thing, but a smile nonetheless

“Ohmygosh, that is just – it’s perfect!  Better than I could have imagined!  I’m so sorry, you must get this all the time.”

“Not – not at all,” Ebony said.  Her hands felt tingly, like the nerves running into her palms were colder than the rest of her body.

“No, no, please, I know it must get tiring, I’m just so excited.  I told myself I wasn’t going to be annoying, I just thought you might need some help and then you said to call you Ebony and now we’re on a first-name basis and aaaaugh I’m just… ”  Ana stopped herself and took a deep breath. 

“I’m sorry.  Sorry.  Okay.  Professional.”  She clasped her hands together and Ebony could see her physically containing her excitement.  “So, Miss Ebony how might I help you today?”

“I’m.  Buying a dress.”  Ebony gestured futilely towards the clothing rack.  Ana nodded thoughtfully. 

“I see! Well, what’s this for?”

“For…wearing?”

Ana laughed at that and quickly shook her head.  “No, I mean what’s the occasion?  A cocktail party?  Formal occasion?  Attending a wedding, getting an award?  An evening gown, about-the-town?  Give me something to work with.  What do you want?”

“I…”  Ebony cringed inwardly.  “…I don’t…I don’t know.  I have a…I have a…date.  With my wife.  I thought I’d wear something...” 

Ebony gestured towards herself.  The clothing she wore was simple, stained, and worn threadbare.  Grays and browns, meant for working.

“…nicer.”

Ana nodded thoughtfully.  “I see…so something to impress a date, then?  That’s an excellent place to start.  Here, why don’t I pull some dresses and you tell me what you like and don’t like, okay?” 

Ana poked at the clothing rack before settling on one.  The dress she pulled was a fancy blue number with satin fabric making up the skirt.  The waist up formed a short-sleeved blouse with a buttoned front, and dyed green threads formed geometric patterns across the skirt.  It was a beautiful piece of tailoring; Ebony was by no means well acquainted with the finer points of clothing, but even she could tell this was one of the higher-end pieces.

“Why don’t you try it on?” Ana encouraged. 

The next few hours were a flurry of Ebony switching from one dress to the next.  She quickly learned that lace and frills were out of the question.  The more restraining dresses made her jaw clench, and anything with a slit up the side left her feeling overly exposed.  Her untrained eye was supplemented by Ana’s overt enthusiasm, but one after another dresses were discarded and deemed unsuitable.  Ebony began to wonder if she’d ever find one she liked; maybe dresses weren’t for her.  She should just show up wearing an armored coat and breeches – that was who she was, after all.  Her kind didn’t wear nice things like dresses.

And then…Ana pulled one final dress from the rack and handed it over.

Right away, her hands unconsciously ran over the silken dress.  It was so smooth it felt like water beneath her fingertips.  Her heightened nerve endings drank in the sensation.  Ana picked up on her shift in attitude instantly and her grin went wide.

“That,” Ana gushed, “is genuine cave-spider silk.  Super-soft, super-strong, super-gorgeous.  I’ll be honest, this is the best one yet.  How does it fit?”

“Let’s find out.” 

Ebony struggled to get it fitted properly, but Ana was more than happy to help.  Once it was wrapped around her, Ebony cautiously examined herself in the floor-length mirror.  It was…amazing.  Finally, a dress that didn’t make her want to kick the mirror to the floor.  It was red; shimmering gossamer threads that went from black to crimson in the light.  It cinched around her chest and upper arms, leaving her shoulders and back exposed to the air.  The skirt flowed with multiple layers, going from darker reds to lighter crimsons.

“Well? How are we feeling?”

“It’s amazing,” Ebony said, turning in place and watching as the layered fabrics lifted with the spin.  “It’s a little tight in the chest, but…wow.”

Ebony looked at the image in the mirror.  It was uncanny; she’d never worn something so nice since she’d awoken.  The dress didn’t necessarily drown-out the the scars she’d accrued both in this life and the past one, nothing could hide such obvious disfigurements.  Rather, they seemed to accent the wounds, as if showing that such things were not ugly but beautiful.  They were almost artful, when she was wearing this dress.  They were like tattoos, or piercings.  The dress felt a little restraining around her torso, and she couldn’t lift her arms over her head without stretching the fabric, but when she was staring at herself in the mirror Ebony could hardly bring herself to care.  It felt…right.

“It’s…perfect,” Ebony said.

“I thought you might like that one,” Ana grinned.  “So I think we’ve found your dress!  Your wife is going to love it, I just know it.  Don’t worry about the tight fit, we’ll be able to adjust it before you leave.  It’s really easy to do on dresses like these.  Why don’t we get you rung up?  How will you be paying this evening?”

Ebony froze in place.  Ah – right.  Money.  The thing she had very limited quantities of.  NOCOF afforded its hunters a limited allowance from the funds they acquired on expedition; most of their income went towards research, or acquiring better equipment.  The few Dukes and Princes rattling about in Ebony’s coin purse would never be able to cover such a beautiful, elegant dress.  In truth, she hadn’t expected dresses to be so expensive, and with Ana’s excitement she forgot about the cost.  The fantasy, as lovely and short-lived as it may have been, came tumbling down then.  Ebony was a Holy Hunter.  Things like dresses and luxuries were not in the cards for her.  This…the woman in the mirror; it wasn’t her.  She couldn’t afford something like this.  NOCOF couldn’t afford something like this.  It had been nice for a while, but as soon as money was mentioned it became apparent the fantasy had to end.

“Right.  Pay.”  Ebony pursed her lips.  She turned, matching the movements of the woman in the mirror.  It was nice.  It was too nice to give up. 

“I think…we’ll put it on NOCOF’s tab.”

Duffy.

Spoiler: Moonlight Chronicles Chapter 5 (click to show/hide)

Moonlight Chronicles
Chapter 5

---

“First the shot, then you rub the Nightmold, then bite the moss…”

Trixxie followed her own instructions, drowning first a shot of whiskey, rubbing a bump of Nightmold on her gums, then following it up by biting into a lump of sour moss and sucking the vinegar from it.  Her face wrinkled, then she spat out the moss and coughed.

“Oh fuck! Fuck, that’s good, you’ve got to try it.”

“You’re the expert, dear,” Lord Duffy replied, then followed suit without hesitation.  The concoction burned the entire way down, and by the end he was coughing out the moss.

“Oh wow – oh wow, okay.  Is the room supposed to spin?  Is this an earthquake?”

“Not yet, my lord,” Trixxie purred, pressing her lips to his ear.  Her bare skin pressed against him, warm and soft, amplified by the narcotics currently seeping into Duffy’s system.  Their lips met and a quiet moment passed as they tasted one another with wanton abandon.  Duffy broke the kiss first with a low chuckle.

“Trixxie, Trixxie, Trixxie my dear, you have to wait, calm down just a moment.  I’m no machine.”

“Could have fooled me,” Trixxie muttered, nibbling at his ear.  Duffy let her work her way down his neck, to his collarbone, to his chest, lower…then he twisted and pulled her into an embrace before she could go further. 

“Trixxie, indulge me, please.  I promise you I’m not going anywhere, and NOCOF is paying for the night.”

His lips pressed into her sweet-smelling hair, planting kisses one after another as she giggled and snuggled in closer.  The cave-spider silk bedsheets tangled around them as they enjoyed the amplified sensation that Nightmold afforded them.  Even the simple breeze of the air-circulation that was pumped into every room in the Haven’s mines was enough to tickle the sensitive nerve endings.

“Mmmmm…I think I could keep you here forever,” Trixxie murmured, nuzzling against Duffy’s sparse chest hair.  “Tell NOCOF to fuck off and just lock you up, all to myself.”

“I have thought about it,” Duffy admitted, his fingers idly tracing patterns into Trixxie’s amber-colored skin.  “I’ve certainly paid off my inoculation, even if they do ‘claim’ not to own me.”

“Then stay.”  Trixxie propped her chin on Duffy’s chest, her dilated pupils staring into Duffy’s.  “Tell them to go to hell.  Tell them you’re not going back out there and fucking rail me until they stop paying your bill.”

“Until they stop paying my bill?  Ouch, Trix, I thought we had something real.”  Duffy grinned and cocked an eyebrow.

“Well…I could be persuaded to make an exception.  For the noble, gorgeous, grand Holy Hunter ‘Lord Duffy’.  A discount.  Anywhere from five to one hundred percent.”

“Five percent…”  Duffy whistled.  “…the savings!”

Trixxie laughed and nipped at his collarbone.  “I’m serious! Tell them you’re done and you’re not going back out there.  They can’t make you.”

“Baby, they don’t make me nothing.”  Duffy sighed, “it’s…it’s how Hunters deal with It.”

“What is It?”  Trixxie shifted so her chin wasn’t digging into Duffy’s chest any more.  She could hear his heartbeat through his chest now.  Strong, steady, and elevated from the drugs.  “You keep talking about It but you never explain what It is.”

“It’s…”  Duffy trailed off.

‘It’ was hard to explain to non-Hunters.  Every Hunter he’d ever met had intrinsically understood It.  They’d all gotten It.  ‘It’ was simply understood, so they never needed to define It.  The doctors had been very interested in It, but after a considerable amount of questioning and deemed It irrelevant.

“It is just…being a Hunter.  Being Moon Touched.  On your second life.  Being no different than every other asshole on the street, yet expected to save the god damn world.  Being perfectly, utterly expendable.  Having everything – and I do mean everything - owed to someone else.  Remembering nothing in a world that’s already gone.  It’s…It.  I dunno.  It is hard to explain.  If you were Touched then you’d get It.  And if I’m being perfectly honest, being Touched sucks a lot.”

“Should I stop touching you, then?”

“That is not what I said,” Duffy squeezed Trixxie tighter, who giggled in response.

“Well, even if I don’t get the mysterious ‘It’, I still think you should quit.”  Trixxie shuffled beneath the bedsheets until she was straddling Duffy.  Her face buried itself into his neck, and her mouth was inches from his ear.

“Quit.  Visit me every single day until you run out of money, then rob a bank and visit me some more.”

“I dunno, NOCOF has been quite kind to foot my bill.  Bank robbery seems very much like plan ‘B’, don’t you think?”

“NOCOF has been kind because they haven’t figured out you’ve been charging my room to their tab,” Trixxie countered, pushing herself upright until she was seated across Duffy’s hips.  Duffy grinned in response and his hands gently ran up her thighs.

“Well, if you’re so keen to have me as an exclusive patron, maybe you should just marry me.  It’d make things so much simpler.”

Trixxie laughed and traced her fingers down his chest.  “You don’t seem like the type, my lord.”

“I’m serious.  I’ll marry the crap out of you.”

“You. Wouldn’t. Dare.”  Trixxie narrowed her eyes and leaned forward.  Duffy, in response, twisted just far enough to reach off the side of the bed to where his trousers laid in a crumpled heap on the floor.  He hooked a finger around the waistband, hauled it close, then fished in the pockets before pulling out a single silver ring.

“Like hell I wouldn’t.  Marry me.”

Trixxie froze in place, eyes locked on the ring Lord Duffy had just pulled out.  It took a moment for her brain to process what, exactly, was happening – no doubt due in part to the Nightmold in her system.

“You’re not serious.”

“I am.”

Duffy pulled himself upright and stuffed a few pillows behind his back.  The silver ring had been polished quite nicely, and the low light in the room gleamed off the metallic surface in an almost magical fashion.

“I want you to marry me, Trix.”

“This isn’t funny, Duffy.”

“I’m not joking.”

In a flash, Trixxie rolled off his hips and scooted herself to the edge of the bed.  She planted her feet against the floor and breathed slowly, as if the air might help sober her up sooner.

“You did not seriously just propose. To me.”

“I did.”

Duffy pulled his legs up until he was sitting cross-legged behind Trixxie, the ring clasped between both hands in his lap.  The ruby cave-spider silk sheets provided a lovely back-drop for the silver ring, and part of Duffy wondered if he should have invested in a ring box to contain it.  Red was a nice romantic color, right?

“I want to marry you, Trix.  Not because I want a family discount.  But because, in my limited, miserable second life, you have made me happier than literally anyone I have ever met.”

Duffy shuffled his way to the edge of the bed until he was sitting next to Trixxie.  She resolutely turned to face away from him.  Her arms crossed over her chest, and he could tell she was trembling.

“I don’t mean just sex.  You get me.  When we talk, it’s…the way you talk to me, the way you give as good as you get, your humor, your personality, your confidence, the way you try really try to get me.  I fucking love you, Trix.”

“Stop.”

“I do!  I love you.  When I’m out there, all I think about is getting back here.  To you.  Not because of what you’re paid to do, but because of who you are.  And if you don’t feel the same way, if you think of me as just another client, then you better tell me right fucking now, Trix.  Look me in the eye and tell me I’m no different than every other Joe who comes through.  And if you need time to sober up before you tell me that, then take all the time you need.  But tell me, Trix.”

Trixxie still hadn’t turned to look at him.  He could hear her breathing – quickly, shakily.  He could smell the salt of tears on her cheeks even if he couldn’t see them.  Trixxie took a long, long moment, but eventually replied.

“Every time you go out, I am so sure.  So certain you’re not going to come back.  And I tell myself that you are no different.  You’re just another client, even if you are fun.  Even if my heart leaps every time you buy me for the night.  Because if I let myself get my hopes up, even for a second, you’re going to die out there.  And I know I can’t stop you from going out, no matter what I say.”

Trixxie turned to look at Duffy.  Tears cut shiny tracks of light down her cheeks, ruining her mascara.  Her pale skin was almost ghostly in the low light, but her eyes were dark pools of gleaming intensity.

“If you’re serious about this, I need you to tell me right fucking now that you’ll come back.  Each and every time, you’ll come back.  Because I can’t do this if you vanish into the wasteland, Duffy.  I can’t.  Tell me.  Promise me.”

“Trixxie.”  Duffy gently took her hand with his.  He gingerly slipped the ring over her finger, then looked her in the eyes.  His hand brushed her cheek, but he matched her intensity ounce for ounce.

“I promise you.  I will come back.  Each and every time, I will come back.  Even if it kills me, Trix.  I’ll come back.  For you.”

Just a small thing, regarding the unfortunate loss of assets OALM recently experienced.

Spoiler: Ochyrosi (Final) (click to show/hide)

As the final foe collapsed lifelessly to the ground, Keravnos turned to where Ochyrosi had fallen. Holstering his axes, he sped over to her.
Ochyrosi is a valuable Hunter. Her death would be a blow to Haven. Her wounds look serious, but they could still be stabilised.
"Keravnos?", Ochyrosi said weakly, as he knelt down to inspect her wounds.
Keravnos ignored her as he pulled away her ruined armour. Deep wounds, heavy bleeding... perhaps a combination of the scavenged Palia and extensive sutures could...
"Please"
Keravnos' thoughts paused. To his knowledge, Ochyrosi had never used that word before.
"Yes?", he responded.
"Feed... the stray cats... for me"
Feeding stray cats would be a waste of food. Haven barely-
"I will", he replied, surprising himself.
"Thanks, Ker"

---

"Hunter Keravnos?", a voice said.
Keravnos turned his head. It was one of the assistants from OALM.
"Doctor Pyrinikos wishes to speak to you. Says your report is late."
Keravnos nodded, and stood up.
"You know the way", the assistant said. "I won't hold you back"
Keravnos nodded again, and sprinted off.

The assistant regarded what Keravnos had been occupied with, confused. Two wooden boards, forming a small shelter against the cavern wall, with two bowls of meat scraps below it. Several stray cats were eating from the bowls. Behind the bowls, propped up against the wall, was a metal mask.

Quote from: Manor Marauders Contract

The following parties gather and agree to the following terms for an expedition to the first stage of the Antiquarian's Manor.

All parties will act in good faith. They will not betray or otherwise work against the other Hunters on this expedition, or the Orders they represent. Those that act in bad faith agree to pay any damages caused by the result of their actions.

Each Order will commit one hunter to the expedition. This entitles them to 33% of the loot by value of said expedition. At the end of the expedition Robocorp will put forth a proposed split that divides the loot as closely as possible by value between the three Orders. If this is unsatisfactory to any party, all loot that can be divided three ways will be divided as such, and the rest will go to auction.

If any hunter is killed on this expedition, the resulting items, equipment, and resources are the full property of the Order they belong to and do not enter the general loot pool. The other Orders agree to return those aforementioned items to the Order the hunter belonged to.


Under the eyes of Laikasa we swear and agree to the terms herein,

Locked to the arm-via a brace, and only by that virtue able to be fired one-handed, this weapon is a patchwork of a gunsmith's art and madness woven together. Belt fed from a drum carried on the hunter's shoulder, a complicated clockwork mechanism feeds the belt into one of the most advanced repeating systems developed before the Moon's rise - one capable of using the detonation of one round to eject the previous round and wind the mainspring of the gun's firing mechanism.

A mastercrafted dueling pistol once due to be given as a bridal gift, its silvered barrel mounted into a frame of polished mahogany. Inset gems glitter from the mechanism, sparkling brightly with each turn of the brass gears. Despite its beauty, there is a coldness to this weapon - of a groom lost to misfortune, and a widow who used this gift-yet-ungiven as a path to join him.

^꧁Haven^꧂
The return of the Carn Feuerlyn expedition engenders both grief and awe. Shrines are erected for the lost Hunters, Virgo and Ochyrosi. Virgo’s shrine simple, a clean pillar of white saltstone that someone erected in the farmer’s landing and no one quite dares to take down. Ochyrosi’s is… more complex. It sits out of the way of Haven, in a cavern deemed too unstable for major construction. A plain mask of iron hangs above a small house, too small for any human, with dozens of tiny bowls and houses surrounding it. Stray cats, slit eyes watching, cooly regard supplicants who leave scraps of food in the bowls and offer a brief prayer to the fallen Hunter.

Mourning aside, Haven is, to put it lightly, agog with the haul brought back from Carn Feuerlyn. Clockwork artificers have been complaining for years that parts of Haven are on the verge of collapse, and that there simply are no parts available to replace those that wear out - but that has just changed. Aetheric gel, runic circuitry, volatile flakes, and a dozen other fascinating and useful items surge into the market, allowing craftsmen and service artificers alike to work on projects possible before only in the realm of speculation.

I'd like to formally post an interest check for the expedition to slay the evolved form of Martyn that is leaving next turn, which I have been calling New Martyn or Bust.
The Midnight(?) Reclaimers(?) will be sending Silicon Dioxide (of course, with the Oathblade and Greatcoat) on this expedition, and the agreement has generally been that NOCOF's Mace Hawkshire (with the Avto) and OALM's Kervanos (with, naturally, his own Oathblade) will also be attending this expedition.

However, this leaves a space for a fourth expeditioner. In order to prevent loot distribution from becoming lopsided in favor of either M?R or NOCOF, I've been pushing for our fourth hunter to be from one of the other orders. I'd like any interested parties to present particularly powerful hunters (and their loadouts) that they feel can keep up, and I would then like to come to an agreement with the other two orders on who to bring with us to kill Martyn.

TURNTURNTURN

^꧁Turn 25^꧂

Iridium: sends Holy Hunter Pythia on expedition to Darremont’s Bell.

NOCOF: sells off a small amount Rotten Skin and pays  ₹2.07 for a warding charm, while bringing Ebony, Mace, and Duffy back from their separate expeditions.

Spoiler: Purchase (click to show/hide)

Value: ₹0.67

       Description: A gris-gris charm made from strips of cloth and bits of bone, woven around a central steel piece in the shape of a shield. It must be destroyed for its power to be released, and for this reason such Shamanism has long been out of favor in comparison to more modern thaumaturgy. However, in modern times of scarcity, there is no denying its efficacy and simplicity.

+--+~+--+

Ara Memoria: Pays for Arianna to undergo experimental treatment and contributes another ₹0.2 to their debt, as well as ₹0.15 to the honorable guild of Mastercraft.

M?R: Brings Zeal back from the Antiquarian’s Manor and props Silicon Dioxide up on some really comfy pillows. They also donate ₹0.85 to the Honorable Guild of Mastercraft, finally tipping the pool enough for a few specialist tools to be purchased that the Mastercrafters have had their eye on for a while.

Aigre: wins a Weighted Warscythe for ₹3.28.

Unlike conventional warscythes, weapons of desperation made from grain scythes converted to war, this weapon was forged for the express intent of severing flesh and bone. From the metal-reinforced haft capable of blocking the heaviest blade to the carefully tapered edge designed to be balanced for wide and sweeping strikes without sacrificing penetration, this is a competent and balanced weapon.

OALM: Keravnos is recalled from expedition and back to Haven in preparation for a grander venture.

RoboCorp: inoculates a pair of new individuals and orders Jerve to return. Additionally, they spend ₹2.79 on a glass bell, a firebomb bundle, and a pile spear. Lastly, they send one of their new employee’s to pillage Darremont.

       Description: One of the bells favored in the semi-mathematical prayers of the followers of Hieracchus. While the ringing of a bell is an act long used to summon others, for church, for meals, or for aid - the followers of Hieracchus believed that to receive divine aid, one must give up something first. For this reason, these beautifully sculpted prayer bells were designed to shatter after a single use.

An enormously heavy spear with a chisel-pointed metal tip. Created after the advent of golem-craft soldiers, this weapon was meant to be used either by mounted knights or enhanced footsoldiers to pierce the thickest armor. While unwieldy, it needs only a strong arm and focused purpose to serve once more.

^꧁Haven^꧂
As the furor of the last expedition’s arrival begins to die down, and the citizenry of Haven begin to finally enjoy the fruits of Artificer’s labors with regards to repairs about the cavern’s hastily constructed support machinery, the Honorable Guild of Mastercrafters celebrates by commissioning a new series of precision tools made from the metals retrieved from Carn Feuerlyn.

With the new tools, the crafters of Haven will be able to slightly more reliably produce higher tiers of weapons, armor, and general use gear. The crafters themselves advise both Hunters and Doctors to temper their expectations strongly, as much of the crafters time will still be spent servicing the people.

That being said, they do make a point of setting up a system by which doctors can pay for new blueprints to be drawn up. Under this new system, doctors will be able to pay between ₹1 and ₹10 and specify one of four types of item: Ranged Weapon, Melee Weapon, Consumable Item, or Passive Gear, and a new item of that type will be added to the list of items that could be available in the store. Higher levels of donation will result in higher quality items being added to the store.  However, due to the time needed to draw up a good blueprint, only one such item can be added per turn - with the crafters always using the highest contribution as the deciding factor.

Each Order agrees to split the fruits of this Expedition in accordance with the percentage of reasonably-equipped Hunters they send initially, with regards to the overall size of the Expedition.  Resources are to be split via standard auction action; individual Orders may reimburse the other members of the Expedition the difference to claim that particular resource.  Multiple members interested in a particular resource may bid on the item, with the proceeds split fairly among the remaining members. 

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.

Unlike conventional warscythes, weapons of desperation made from grain scythes converted to war, this weapon was forged for the express intent of severing flesh and bone. From the metal-reinforced haft capable of blocking the heaviest blade to the carefully tapered edge designed to be balanced for wide and sweeping strikes without sacrificing penetration, this is a competent and balanced weapon.

Quote from: Equipment Borrow Contract

The Moonlight Reclaimers (and other titles) are providing the Ordo ad Liberandum Mechanica with the recently-purchased Cursed Pistol for the duration of the upcoming MAAKA/NMOB expedition, or until the user returns to town via the Corrupted Watchstone (at either point, the weapon will be returned). This isn't being charged for, since it just seems like a fairly common-sense usage of free space and equipment in the opinion of Powder Philosopher.

Signed,
-Doctor Powder Philosopher, for the Midnight Redeemers

Additionally:
We can hold a splint or aid kit on Sili for general usage during the expedition (it'd be easier to transfer over to us before we put together the manifest), which I wouldn't be wanting to pay for because it WOULD be for general usage rather than specifically for Sili.

However, I am wanting to buy a splint from either LOUP or NOCOF (whichever is willing to offer less markup) for usage on the Manor expedition we will be undertaking with NOCOF, which we WILL be paying for, as it will be used specifically on Zeal.

Orders who wish for one of their Hunters to turn back are obligated to inform the other members of the Expedition of their intention at the start of the turn, in order to allow the other members to react accordingly.  If the party is split in this event, the Orders turning back are entitled to no more than that Hunters percentage of the loot gained up until this point, and forfeit any further gains during this Expedition that Hunter might have been entitled to.  In the event this Order has Hunters remaining in the party or a deceased Hunter, those Hunters percentages may still be obtained at the end of the Expedition.  This clause does not bar an Order from their share of the loot in the event all involved Orders mutually agree to turn back.  The returning Hunter or Hunters shall carry the maximum amount of loot they can carry, which shall be divided up accordingly upon their return.  Unless an undersigned Order objects, they will by default prioritize the most expensive encumbering loot first, followed by encumbering loot of decreasing value.

In the event that a Hunter is killed, the remaining members, if Encumbrance permits, are obligated to gather as much of the deceased Hunters equipment for the purpose of returning it to that Hunter's Order.  In the event that Encumbrance limits the collection of this equipment and gathered loot, the deceased Hunter's Order may offer to pay the remaining Orders the value of dropped equipment and/or loot in order to return the equipment.  In the event the deceased Hunter's order does not wish to pay the loot or equipment's value, the equipment is forfeited and enters the loot pool.

Undersigned Orders may request a copy of another undersigned Orders report once per turn, which is to be transferred promptly, in full, at their earliest convenience.  Failure to do so in a reasonable amount of time may be indicated as a measure of Poor Faith.

Acts of Poor Faith committed by an Order in this agreement entitle the remaining Orders to the sum of the offending Orders assets, split evenly among all undersigned Orders - barring the offending Order.  Acts of Poor Faith include, in exhaustion, the following:

• Attempted or successful murder of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition.
• Deliberate endangerment of an undersigned Orders Hunter involved in this Expedition for the purpose of killing them.
• Demonstrably altered or fabricated Encounter reports transferred to undersigned Orders for the purpose of deceiving them.
• Attempting to hide, destroy, or unfairly claim loot in order to gain an unfair percentage of the fruits of this Expedition.
• Failure to transfer requested Encounter results to undersigned Orders with regards to this Expedition within 36 hours.
• Deliberately under-equipping a Hunter on this Expedition.
• Instigating the death of a Hunter sent on this Expedition in order to obtain an unfair loot percentage.

“I’m just saying – it’s not that I don’t think you can or should wear makeup,” Mace said evenly, eyes locked on the blackened steel interior of his precision carbine.  “I just think it’s odd you’re applying it four hours early.”

Ebony pursed her lips and did everything in her power to keep from crying.  The tears threatening to break didn’t really have anything to do with what Mace was saying; rather, she was trying very hard not to ruin the mascara she was brushing onto her eyelashes.  All it would take was for her hand to stray an eighth of an inch, and she would jab herself in the eye with the mascara brush…which was exactly what happened.

“Fuck!” 

Ebony swore and squeezed her eyes shut.  The movement caused a tear to cut a muddy swath through her carefully-applied make-up, thus ruining her latest attempt.  Ebony grabbed a nearby rag – which was marred with the colors of her last half-dozen attempts – and angrily scrubbed the newly-made water colors off her face.

“Because, dickhead.”  Ebony’s chair squeaked as she twisted in place.  She turned her attention from the burnished steel mirror and focused her blood-shot eyes at Mace.  “I don’t know dick about makeup.”

“I thought the makeup kit came with instructions.”

“It does!  But it’s a lot fucking harder than it looks.”  Ebony snatched at the heavily creased and smudged instruction booklet and tried to get her bleary eyes to focus on the page.  “’This clay-infused gel mixture should be applied at the waterline via pen to produce eye-popping results.’  Easier said than done.  Would it have killed them to include pictures?”

“Maybe a pop-up book?  A glamour showing a buxom woman in a skin-tight dress lovingly demonstrating each individual stroke?”  Duffy glanced up from the desk, temporarily taking a break from writing to make himself annoying.

Ebony frowned, but conceded.  “Well…maybe not with such a gross description.  But yes, a glamour would be well appreciated.”

“I’m sure you’ll get it,” Mace said, carefully running a cotton swab through a bit of exposed machinery.  The swab came back covered in carbon and was promptly discarded.  “And if you don’t, then I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you sans makeup.”

“You should forget about makeup,” Duffy chipped in.  “Write her a poem.  Something from the heart, something special.  She won’t be able to see your hideously disfigured face if her eyes are swimming with tears from your heart-wrenching words.”

“Fuck off.”

“I’m serious!  I’ll even help you write it.”

“I think I’ll pass.”

“What, you don’t think my work is good enough?  Here, let me read you an excerpt.”

“No need.”

“Oh, you can’t just blast my skills as a writer then hang me out to dry! Come on.”

“I think what Duffy really wants,” Mace interjected, “is to show off what he’s written thusfar.  If that’s the case, he won’t let it go until our ears are bleeding.  Go on Duff, let’s hear it.”

“Excuse you, Mace.  My wedding vows are a sacred, cherished series of carefully-crafted words I will be reading to Trixxie during our long-awaited ceremony.”

“Are you going to read it or not?” 

“Of course I’m going to read it.”

Duffy peeled up his notepad and shook it briefly to help the ink dry.  He cleared his throat once, twice, three times, four times, five times, shook the pad again, then paused for dramatic effect.

“Shall I compare thee to a summers day?”

“Fucking hell.”

“Thou art more bangin’ and more smoking hot.”

“There we go.”

“Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, and your booty is the best I’ve ever bought.”

“These are your wedding vows?”  Mace snapped the handhold closed on his carbine and turned to face the self-proclaimed poet.  “Duff, you can’t be serious.”

“Trust me, she’s going to find it hilarious.”

“If this is you writing ‘from the heart’, then I think I’ve dodged a bullet on the poetry front.”  Ebony turned back to her mirror and began her latest attempt at apply eyeliner.

“You think it could use a revision?”

“I think your heart is worth thirty-one Dukes, that’s what I think.”

“Maybe ‘revision’ is too small a word,” Mace corrected.  “You’re marrying this woman, right?  Don’t make a joke out of it, don’t mock it.  Speak from the heart.  Take your own advice.”

Duffy tapped his pen against his chin thoughtfully.  The wet tip let a number of black dots on his pale skin, but it was nearly impossible to see through his scruffy chin hair.  He opened his mouth to reply, but a sharp knock at the door interrupted the discussion.

“Duffy, Ebony, can the two of you accompany me, please?”

Doctor Cancorum Filium stepped into the room without ceremony.  He glanced up only long enough to verify the two of them were indeed present, then returned his attention to his clipboard.  It was hard to tell his expression behind an ornate crab-faced mask; porcelain plates joined together to mimic the armor of a crustacean, leaving two clear glass slots through which he could see.  It was odd, but then again most doctors were eccentric to some degree.

Ebony gave Duffy a guilty look, but the man didn’t have an ounce of shame in his body.  “Of course, doc.  Wait just a tick – “

Duffy crumpled up the poem he’d been writing and hucked it into the trash, then spun out of his chair.  Ebony wiped off her latest attempt at eyeliner and followed suit.  Mace, despite the fact the doctor hadn’t asked for him, slotted the bolt back into his carbine and slung it over his back.

The three of them followed the doctor out of the barracks and down the hall.  They travelled mostly in silence, until Ebony finally spoke up.

“So…what’s this about, Doctor Filium?”  Ebony thought back to the clothing store and how she’d so easily handed NOCOF the tab for the dress.  It had been a moment of weakness, to be sure, but really how much trouble could they be in?  They were risking their lives out there.  So what if she splurged on a fancy dress every once in a while?  Lord Duffy had to have spent way more than that at the Velvet Diamond.

“New gear,” the crab doctor curtly replied.  “Expeditions coming up, and we managed to secure a line on some decent equipment.”

The hallway opened into a modest-sized cavern.  A narrow walkway led to a number of booths, and the rest of the cavern was left empty – save for a few plywood cut-outs at the other end.  Doctor Decorum Noctua, the Owl, fussed over a pile of equipment on a nearby table.  He glanced up as the others entered, revealing his ornately carved owl mask.

“Ebony! And mi’lord.  You’ll be pleased to know we’ve recently acquired something new for you two.  Ebony first – here you are.”

Decorum Noctua hefted a large crested shield and handed it over.  Ebony took it cautiously, noting with some surprise that the greenish-hued metal shield was far lighter than she expected.

“Pure Perdurium.  Nothing lighter, nothing stronger.  We know you’re not much for guns, so we thought this would be a decent off-hand weapon.”

Ebony slotted her arm through the strap and rolled her shoulder.  The shield was large, but not cumbersome.  It left her main hand free, and a padded strap let her sling it over a shoulder. 

“Tell us, have you ever hit anything with those throwing knives, Ebony?”

“Fuck off.”

“Hey, I’m just saying, it’s a good look for you.”  Duffy raised his hands defensively.  “Just don’t throw it, because you won’t hit shit.”

“That’s enough,” Mace stepped in.

“Fine, fine.  Doc, you said you had something for me?”

“Quite.  Now, be careful with this, Lord Duffy, as we spent a great deal acquiring it.  The cost alone was enough to afford the components to cure a half-dozen moon-touched, but after considerable debate…”  The two doctors exchanged a look, and Filium continued on.  “…we decided that enabling you to more easily defend yourselves in the wastes was a better investment.”

Noctua lifted and almost reverently handed the piece of equipment to Duffy.  It was an amalgamation of wood and steel, like Mace’s carbine, yet it did not feature the same elegance.  Every scrap of material was bent into place with blunt purpose, and the weight was nearly double.  It wasn’t too heavy to carry one-handed, but it was a near thing.  In pale contrast to Ebony, Duffy grunted as he took the item and found the appropriate places to lay his hands.

“…okay.  So Ebony gets the nice light shield, and I get the paperweight made out of lead.  Nice gift.”

“I’d appreciate if you kept your sass to a minimum,” Filium said dryly.  “This is the Hunter Prototype ‘Avto’, an experimental foray into rapid-fire machined weaponry.  It costs more than it did to cure the three of you, so I’d appreciate if you treated it with the appropriate respect.”

Duffy fiddled with the straps until he found the intended way to brace the gun, then stepped over to one of the shooting booths.  The barrel wobbled unsteadily as he one-handed the weapon and aimed down range.  “Sure, sure, respect.  Look, I appreciate it, but the double-barrel pistol works for me just fine and this thing weighs like, a dozen times as much.  So unless it is a dozen times better, I think I’ll stick with ol’ Reaper.”

“You named your gun ‘Reaper’?”

“Don’t start, Ebony Mother Fucking Moonblade God Damn Ravensblight.”

“Do be careful,“ Doctor Noctua reached out nervously as Duffy glared back at Ebony.  “The munitions for this weapon are quite expensive, so we advise you use short, controlled bursts – “

The gun roared to life, belching a flash of flame and gunsmoke as a bottle-nosed 7.62mm screamed downrange.  The action slammed open and kicked the spent brass into the air, then racked a new bullet as the spring forced it closed once more.  The second round, hot on the tail of the first, escaped the gun with the exact same level of excitement.

“OH FUCK – FUCK, HAHA, OH FUCK – “

The drum magazine fed rounds into the gun one after another.  The contraption shook, vibrated, and jolted with each round, and Duffy had to take a step back to steady himself.  The back wall of the cavern exploded into shards of rock and dust.  Rocky shrapnel flew into the nearby targets, digging in and scarring where ever they landed.

And then Duffy hit one.

The plywood ruptured into a shower of splinters.  It vanished into the smoke, leaving nothing more than a jagged outline of what had once been a monster-shaped cut of wood.  Duffy swung the gun wide, and like wheat before the scythe the other targets vanished from view. 

The gun fell silent after the fortieth brass shell was sent tumbling into the air, leaving the receiver jammed open.  The barrel, the action – even the joints where the gun had been welded – were all smoking.  Duffy gave the trigger a few more hopeful squeezes, then turned back to the rest of the group with eyes the size of dinner plates.

“Holy shit! Did you guys see that shit?  Ha haha ha, oh fuck yeah!  You can keep your dinky little carbine, Mace!”

“What?”  Mace shouted, grinding a finger into his ear.

“What?”  Duffy replied. 

“You’re a fucking asshole!” Ebony shouted in turn.

“I can’t hear you!” Duffy pointed towards his ears.  “I think the fire alarm is going off?”

Everyone’s hearing returned slowly over the course of the next half-hour.  Despite the gun being empty and exceedingly hot, Duffy refused to let it go.  He instead cradled it as they left the gun range, occasionally burning himself on the barrel shroud.  The members of the Order convened in the briefing room, where Apothecary Mirable Vulpes, the Fox, met them.

“I hear I missed a bit of excitement,” Vulpes looked around the room.  Her mask was made of paper – not cheaply, but lightweight and beautifully painted in flowing lines.  “Although I think the rest of you have heard enough already.”

“Did you have to give it to him, of all people?”  Ebony worked her jaw, temporarily making the ringing stop.

“He scored the best on the range aptitude tests, unfortunately.”

“Yes,” Duffy pumped his fist, then resumed petting the wooden stock of the Avto.

“And I don’t think you’ll have much to worry about, as he’ll soon be departing towards Darremont’s Bell as part of a joint Expedition.  Your ears will, for the imminent future, be safe from further harm.”

“We’re not going with him?” Mace asked, curious.

“No – you two will be paying a visit to the Antiquarian’s Manor as part of a Joint Expedition with the Midnight Redeemers.  Or the Moonlight Reclaimers.  Or whatever they’re calling themselves these days.”

“And we don’t get a say in the matter?”

“I’m afraid not,” Doctor Vulpes sighed.  She flipped open a folder and scanned a few contracts.  “I could go through the exact chain of events that decided how these expeditions would be formed, but suffice to say it was simply politics.  But, with your new shield and gun, we foresee a reasonable chance of success for all parties involved.”

“This doesn’t have anything to do with a book deal, does it?”

Vulpes tilted her head at Ebony’s question.  “I…don’t quite follow?”

“Is it possible you’re dividing us this way because it makes the most exciting narrative?  For say, a Duke Dreadful novel you’ve been publishing?”  Ebony reached into her pocket and pulled out a heavily-folded wad of paper and tossed it on the table.  It was ‘Mace and the Automaton Abomination!’, featuring a simply-drawn portrait of Mace Hawkshire wielding his carbine against a towering mechanical creature.

“…I sense that you are upset, but let me assure you that these novels have no bearing on our Orders decisions.”

“No, but it does affect how the people of Haven see us.”  Ebony flipped the novel open to a dog-eared page and began reading. 

“Get out of here,’ Mace shouted, his Holy Hunter eyes gleaming in the low light.  The Abomination drove its drill into his chest, but the Hunters might and battle-hardened hands caught hold of it before it could eviscerate him.  ‘Get back to Haven, we have to warn them all!  The life of one Hunter isn’t worth the last bastion of humanity!’  To which Lord Duffy, King of Monsters replied, ‘Nay, my valiant brethren; for sooth, though this beast not be of my domain, I shall wrest it into my service!  We are kinsmen, and I shant leave my blood of my blood to perish.  But alas, the darkness befouling my eyes, I cannot see to where my bullet should fly!”  Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight, perched atop a nearby building, heard their pleas.  For truly she’d not been slain in the collapsing factory, but survived through her own natural guile and super-natural instinct.  ‘Fret not, little Hunters,’ she called.  ‘For I am the Darkness!’  And in one fell swoop, she severed the Abominations head from its shoulders.”

Ebony pursed her lips and glared up at Doctor Vulpes.  “You could have fucking asked us before you went and made us out to be some sort of invincible super-heroes, asshole.”

“I know you’re mad,” Vulpes raised her hands, “but it was a sound decision.  It’s excellent PR, and the additional income is quite useful.”

“Why, so you can buy Duffy the Collateral Damage 9000?”

“No, so we can afford for you lot to buy dresses and visit whore houses.”

Doctor Filium spoke up finally, setting his clipboard down on the table with a thump.  A small silence followed, during which he looked between Ebony and Duffy.  “What, you thought we didn’t know?  We knew the moment the bill from the Velvet Diamond arrived with my poorly-forged signature.”

“Aw shit, are we in trouble?”  Duffy squeezed his Avto tighter, as if suddenly afraid they’d take it away.

“No.”  Doctor Filium sighed and settled back into his chair.

“After considerable debate, we…agreed,” Doctor Noctua glanced between the other two doctors, then continued, “that perhaps it’s best to afford you all some leeway when it comes to your recreational activities in town.  We’ve elected to consider it an expense, same as food or bullets.  Moral is a need, same as any other.”

“And the novels make you out to be super-heroes because that’s what Haven needs.”  Vulpes added in.  “It generates more support if people believe you’re fantastical, blessed heroes, rather than an amnesiac with considerable funding.”

“They treat us like freaks.”

“They treat you like heroes,” Filium said firmly.  “And they’ll continue to do so until you give them a reason not to.  We may not be travelling the wastes for days at a time, but we work around the clock here to make sure you can carry out the purpose given to you.  And until the moon no longer saps the life from every poor soul unfortunate enough to stumble into its light, we will keep working.  Vulpes does not spend a years wages on fancy dresses.  Noctua doesn’t spend his nights at the Velvet Diamond.  And I don’t go for a jaunt in the Moonlight when I grow tired of it all.”

Doctor Filium glanced towards Mace as he said that.  Mace was staring resolutely at the wall, his jaw set.  A moment of silence passed, then Filium gave a surprisingly gentle sigh and massaged his temples.

“Look.  We don’t keep you here against your will.  If you no longer wish to be a member of the Noble Order of the Crab, Owl, and Fox, then you are free to leave at any time.  But know that we won’t quit.  And if a Duke Dreadful calling you heroes is the breaking point, then we’ll cancel production.  Are we all satisfied?”

The uncomfortable silence that followed was broken only by the gentle hum of the air ducts pumping fresh oxygen into the underground cavern.

“Alright then.  Vulpes, if you would continue the briefing.  The expedition leaves tomorrow, and we don’t want Ebony to be late for her date tonight.”

Spoiler:  Leo's oath (click to show/hide)

Deep in the caves of haven, in a modest dwelling so grandiously called basilica mercatorum by its inhabitant, the lonely figure of Master Carcarias sits in the candle lit office, hands and mind both immersed in countless balance sheets and maps. The laborious silence is suddenly broken by a familiar brash voice of a young man just entering the room.

"Greetings once again, Master! Guess who once again defeated an army of rottens on his own without a scratch?

Master Carcarias lifts his gaze to meet his hunter, tired and resigned to the conversation to come.
"Leo..."

"Well, yes, I suppose you read the reports. But you should have been there, see my swings, my dodges. Truly, I am surely among the best fighters in Haven. Ah, the sound of a blade crushing through the decayed bones..."

"Leo..."

"I know, I know, don't get cocky, your arrogance will get you killed, always be mindful, I know. But come on. I would like to see those other guys braving the rotten like I do without their fancy heart swords and boom axes."

"Leo, that is not what-"

"By the way, where is Virgo? I didn't manage to catch her return before I left. Need to trade tales, lets see who killed more this time. Ah! of course it will be me, she is a decent shot, but no match for me in swordplay. Still, pretty fun to compete. But Keravnos... that dude is scary. I doubt he will have left much for her to do. One more round for me."

"Leo..."

"I know, it is not a competition, we are team mates. But come on, let us have our fun. You know we work well together! It has been ages since we went out together, but I guess it is time for a new sortie again? maybe that creepy antiquarian manor we explored that time. Never got to show her."

"Leo..."

"Don't tell me you sent her out already? I was really looking forward to it!"

Master Carcarias suddenly stands up, fists on the desk and a sorrowful face.

"Leo, she is dead! Virgo never came back from Carn. It was a massacre. Corrupted automatons, cybernetic rotten, mechanical hounds. Only keravnos barely survived to bring the news, and by his look he has half in the grave."

For once, the hunter was left without words, the news hitting him harder than a rotten draft horse.

"But... you are not serious are you? she is pretty strong, she can handle herself! She is.. as good as... me. Ah! you made this up to make me say that didn't you? VIRGO! COME OUT! I KNOW YOU ARE HERE!"

A sound comes from the barracks door, footsteps approaching. Leo turns hopeful to face the newcomer, sure that it would be his fellow hunter.
But another man emerges, with a sleepy gaze and indolent walk.

"Hiya Leo. What's up?"

"Not the time Cancer" replied sternly Master Carcarias.

"But... if she really is... if she really is dead... her corpse? did you..."

"You know full well the rules of the hunt. A team can't bring back whole corpses. Especially when the dead outnumber the living. She was buried on the field after Keravnos salvaged what he could. And before you say anything about desecrating her corpse, those things are vital to the survival of Haven. Her death may save countless more"

"And now all we have left is... what? She was an hunter, a... a friend, and now she is some ounces of glowing blood? is that all?"

Master Carcarias punches the desk, boards creaking and knuckles bleeding.

"DAMN IT. You think I wanted this to happen? Do you think I would have sent her there thinking she would die? For a few drops of blood and pale bone? The job is risky but I would NEVER, NEVER have sent her to death if only... if only I had known. I didn't. I told her to continue. When Keravnos came back, he just dropped on my desk one eye, her eye, staring..."

Leo, finally accepting, breathes and sighs.
"I know you wouldn't. I don't... I don't think this is your fault. But I should have been there, I could have helped. Maybe..."

"You would both be dead now and we would have twice the funerals. There is nothing you could have done."

"But there are things we can do now! We can't leave her, forget there, in the Carn. We must do something! We must avenge her!"

"Is that what you think? What do you plan to do?"

"Train. Get better. Go to the Carn and kill her killers, bring her body back and give her the respect she deserves. I will do it no matter the pain and the cost. I am the best hunters here, I won't be stopped by any of those monsters!
But... Master, I will need... Give me better weapons. Better armour. I must succeed, but I need... more."

"There is something I could do. Virgo's sacrifice wasn't fruitless, we recovered some things, and could buy some other. I may have found ways to give you the strength you ask for, but it will come with great pain."

"I am ready"

"Very well. Tomorrow at dawn, At the training court, I'll show you. Now go rest, you will need it."

Leo leaves the room with a newfound determination in his eyes and Master Carcarias dros back on the seat exhausted.
Cancer emerges again from the barracks.

"Hiya boss. Bad day?"

Carcarias groans and covers his face in his palms and mutters
"Laikasa, why her and not him"

---

Some time later at Farmer's landing Leo stands alone next to a white pillar, unmarked and pure. No name is carved, but he knows that Virgo is honoured there.

"Always so bright going into the night. Even now that you are dead. I guess this is a good monument for you. You are not forgotten, you know. I have seen your former family praying here. Both your sons are still well. Wish you could have had the time to get to know them. I get the feeling that they erected this monument, but this is fine quarry stone, well cut. Somebody managed to get some money in the right hands and I guess you know who it was. I wish you could be here on this mission, with your unrelenting optimism. Even with all the loss and the death, you always said that the past is gone and the future lies ahead and that is where we should keep our eyes on. But you saw a light and bright future, shining as this shrine. All I can see now is red and grim. I will not rest, not until you are finally safely back. Laikasa give me the strength, I swear on you I won't take off this helmet till Virgo returns to Haven."

Leo dons his helmet, the hooks and needles penetrating in his skin flesh and bone, the runes glowing. He lets out a brief groan of pain, then leaves the pillar behind to join the other hunters, blood and tears dripping from his face.

Ebony's Big Date.

Spoiler: Moonlight Chronicles Chapter 7 (click to show/hide)

Moonlight Chronicles
Chapter 7

---

Ebony stuck out more than usual.  The scars, of course, were glaring.  Pink lines cut a sharp contrast through her dark skin, but in even sharper contrast was the dress.  Red, multi-layered, flowing silken fabric that showed off the muscles in her back and shoulders.  Much care and effort had gone into the makeup adorning her features, and the ruby lipstick both matched and drew focus at the same time.  Her hair had been rebraided into fresh cornrows, and the tails dangled by her neck with new crimson beads woven in here and there.

Eyes tracked her as people moved past, but it was…tolerable.  Knowing why she was being stared at made it easier to bear.  Really, if it weren’t for the scars and her accruing fame, she might not have looked too out-of-place here.  This cavern hosted Messis Solis, the finest restaurant in Haven; that wasn’t saying much considering the relatively diminutive size of the city, but it was a classy place all the same. 

And there, in the middle of all of it, sat Ebony and Yuri.

The wife she didn’t remember, the person she’d once sworn to love and to hold until death did they part, sat across from her at the table.  Unlike Ebony, she hadn’t sprung for a dress of fine silks procured from the highest-end shops available.  She wore a hand-spun sundress, cleverly made and of soft linens, patterned with blue flowers.  Simple earrings and minimal makeup adorned her features.  The faintest tan outline marked where a ring had once wrapped around a finger on her left hand; a ring now hanging from a string around Ebony’s neck.  Dark brown eyes, black hair – standard features for residents of Haven.  Freckles across her nose, a small chin, narrow eyes, a thin face.  Features Ebony had fallen in love with, once.

“I’ve never been here before.” 

Yuri broke the silence.  Ebony picked up on the anxiety in her voice, and she found that comforting.  She wasn’t alone here in this uncharted territory.  “Not that it’s a bad thing, I love to try new things – we could just never afford a place like this.  We were saving up for a nicer cave on an upper level – they’d just finished carving out a new block of apartments, and the rock there wasn’t as damp.  We were going to move in a couple months, but then…um.”

Yuri trailed off awkwardly.  Ebony rushed in, desperate to keep the conversation from wilting.  “Oh, I know the ones!  They’re on the same level as the markets, right?”

Yuri smiled, thankful Ebony bailed her out.  “Right!  We always saw them hauling carts of gravel out of the tunnels while they were digging them out.  They had to do it by hand, since dynamite would have caused too much back-pressure.  They end up finishing the annex last week, actually.”

“Did you get moved in okay?”

“I didn’t move, actually.  They’re a little more expensive, and I can’t afford the rent by myself, so.  Um.”

The conversation stalled again.  The implication of accusation, as light or unintended as it might have been, cut Ebony like a knife.  There was no point in trying to defend herself; obviously she hadn’t meant to become infected.  Yuri hadn’t meant to make it sound like an accusation.  In fact, there’d been no accusation at all.  It was the facts as they were, as uncomfortable as they might have been.

Muted conversations echoed oddly off the cavern walls here.  Whereas most of the tunnels were of rough-hewn stone, the walls at the Messis Solis had been painstakingly chiseled by hand.  They weren’t smooth, bare rock, but engraved with depictions of happier times.  The pillars were adorned with tasteful lines and sweeping spirals, and every spare inch between depictions was crammed with paisley patterns. 

“I love your dress.”  It was Ebony’s turn to break the silence.  It was clumsy, but Yuri gratefully jumped on the tangent.

“Oh, thank you!  It’s a few years old, actually.  Our – my neighbor sews them by hand.  I traded him a few bushels for this one; it took him a week to make it, it’s one of his best.  Mary tried to buy it from me, but I told her there was no way!”

“Mary?” 

“Other neighbor.  She lives with her son, they come over every now and then for dinner.  I try not to wear it too often, since I don’t want to wear it out.  But when I do put it on, I get so many stares, I love it.  Obviously it’s not as nice as yours, of course.”

“Oh, this old thing?”  Ebony unconsciously brushed a hand over the dress.  She’d been doing that a lot.  The silk was so smooth it made her palms tingle.  “I didn’t know a thing about what I was buying, the clerk helped pick it out.”

“Well, you did a fantastic job.  You look gorgeous.”

“Thanks!  I didn’t know what I’d look like.  I didn’t know what I’d like, but this is…I’m really fond of it.  If I could wear it all the time, I would.”

“Really?  You always said you hated dresses.”

“I did?”

“You preferred trousers, said that all the extra fabric was ‘unnecessary’.  You – oh, ha ha – you used to go on these rants every time I talked about getting a new dress, and now look at you!”  Yuri broke into a fit of giggles and Ebony made herself to grin.  Her stomach twisted. 

“Well, I think I might have changed my mind.  Maybe dresses are for me now.”

“Yeah, maybe!  We’ll see how long that lasts before you’re back to your usual self.  I mean, you’re still wearing your hair the same, even.  Those red beads, the corn rows…even your dress is red.  It was your favorite color, so not everything has changed, has it?”

More red shifted into the edge of Ebony’s cone of vision, and her eyes flicked immediately to the intrusion.  A young dark-haired man wearing the crushed red velvet vest of the Messis Solis bowed his head respectfully.

“Good evening ladies.  My name is Saido, and I’ll be your waiter for this evening.”

Ebony found that she didn’t mind the interruption, even if the conversation had finally been flowing along. She turned to face him fully.

“I’d like to say that we are just thrilled to have Holy Hunter Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight and her guest with us tonight.”

“Yuri Dice,” Ebony said quickly.  “My, um.  Wife.”

“Well, we are beyond happy to have you both here, Mrs. Dice.  In order to show our appreciation, the Messis Solis would like to offer you a complimentary dessert with your meal this fine evening.  What can I get you both to start off?”

Ebony and Yuri ordered their drinks, and the waiter left them alone once more.  And once more, the awkward silence fell over their table.  Ebony spent the pause to sneak a look at Yuri.  Candle lights provided the only illumination, a far cry from the harsh gas lights which lit the rest of the mines.  Glittering crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling on brass chains threw spots of light here and there, and the velvet chairs and crimson tablecloths soaked up the remaining light.  A few rays cut through the glow illuminating her pale face, and the flickering lights animated the engraved walls behind her in the most distracting fashion.

“So…’Ebony Moonblade Ravensblight’…”

“I know,” Ebony nearly buried her face in her hands, but stopped at the last second to avoid smudging her makeup.  Yuri giggle and traced a fingertip along the edge of her menu, taking her turn to sneak a look at Ebony.

“Does anyone know your real name is Lot?”

“Well, considering my legal name is now Ebony, it’s not far-fetched to say that’s my real name, now.”

“Mhm.  Did you pick it out yourself, or…?”

“The asylum was – still is pretty under-funded, and they didn’t really have the paperwork for each and every person there.  So when I woke up, they asked me what my name was.  I didn’t know, obviously, so they asked me what I wanted to be called.”

“And you picked Moonblade?”

“Sort of.  Most people don’t get to pick their names, so I asked if they had any suggestions.”

“Ah – and they offered –”

“Yep.  I didn’t know any better, and the only three names I knew were Crab, Owl, and Fox.  Not exactly a standard selection to base my decisions off.”

“So why not change it?”

“I dunno.  I’ve kind of gotten used to this one.  Plus there’s all the paperwork, and those awful Duke Dreadfuls wouldn’t sell as well…”

“Say no more.”  Yuri grinned.  Her eyes twinkled as if they were sharing an inside joke.  “You’ll always be Lot to me.”

Yuri reached across the table.  Her fingers laced with Ebony’s, pale against her dark skin.  Ebony – Lot – smiled back, as it was a socially appropriate response.

The waiter returned soon after with their drinks.  Yuri had some fruity white wine, while Lot had a dry red – as Yuri had assured her that she’d love it.  Lot ordered the baked cave river bass topped with scallions and herbs, as fish were a rarity this far inland and she’d never tried it.  Thankfully, Yuri told her she’d never liked fish, and that she’d be much happier with the cheese-stuffed pasta instead.  After all, if they were eating at a high-end restaurant, she should make sure to get something she’d actually enjoy.  Lot agreed, and the night continued from there.

After splitting dessert (some creamy iced treat sweetened with honey) they attended a play shown by Haven’s theatre troupe.  It was some ancient classical tragedy, which Yuri assured Lot she’d enjoy.  After the post-show, and after some gentle urging, Yuri managed to coax Lot down to the lower levels of Haven.  Deep down, where the rock became damp and the air humid, to where the underground river carved an eons-old swath through the earth. 

Massive brass gears and paddles churned slowly above and through the river.  Each turn of the tarnished mechanisms powered the city spiderwebbed through the rock above, pumping fresh air and light like the circadian rhythm of a massive clockwork golem.  The system was in disrepair; the river flowed in turbulent spirals over mossy gears lost to the cold rushing water below.  Roughly half the mechanisms were still functional, and only thanks to the herculean efforts of the engineers who resuscitated them from decades of disuse.  Yuri led Lot down a forgotten passage along the river, which ended in a small ledge overlooking a massive horizontal gear slowly spinning in place. The gear which had meshed with this one had long ago fallen away, and so it continued to spin purposelessly. 

“You know, you were the one who showed me this place,” Yuri called over her shoulder.  She gathered up the hem of her sundress and jumped the gap.  It wasn’t a difficult leap, but the rush of cold water far below made it a risky one.  The slow turn of the gear made Yuri totter for a second before she could steady herself, but once stable she looked back at Lot with a twinkle in her eye. 

“Well? Come on!”

Lot hesitated only once, then made the leap herself.  She made it easily, unconsciously moving with the gear as she landed.  Yuri laughed and took her by the hand.  She led them to the edge, and there the two of them sat and let their legs dangle over the water.  They stayed there for a few minutes, quietly enjoying the slow carousel.  The air down here was cool, far colder than the claustrophobic atmosphere of the main city.  It was quiet too, save for the clunk of distant gears and the rush of water below.  Lot leaned back on her hands and closed her eyes.

“…well?”

Lot looked over to where Yuri sat.  She was watching her intently, eyes trained on Lot with a keen focus.

“I like it,” Lot said after a moment.  “I can see why I would have shown you this place.  It’s…peaceful.”

“Well, yeah.”  Yuri replied, waving her hand dismissively.  “But…?”

“…but?”

“But do you…?  You know.”

“I assure you, I do not.”

“Do you…remember?”

Ah.

“Almost,” Lot hedged, turning her attention to the clockwork in the background.  The gears were all tarnished and molded, save for where they ground against one another ins shiny patches.  She turned back to Yuri.  “It’s…like trying to remember a dream.  I can remember remembering.”

Yuri frowned.  It was the first time she’d frowned the entire night, and Lot felt a pang of regret shoot through her.

“I just thought…this was where we went on our first date.  I’m wearing the same dress.  My hair is the same.  It’s not even familiar?”

“No, it is!”  Lot moved to cover Yuri’s hand with her own.  “It’s so painfully familiar, but…but it’s just familiar.  I don’t remember it.  I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s okay.”  Yuri pursed her lips for a moment, then put on a brave smile.  “I know, it’s selfish to hope you could remember.  I know it can’t be helped.  But I thought it might work, so I couldn’t hope but to try.”

“I appreciate that.  I do.  I really do.”  Lot swallowed thickly.  Her throat felt like it was closing up.

“But it’s fine.  It’s fine!  If you never remember, that’s fine.  We can make new memories.  You always did like trying new things.  You’re still Lot.”

“Stop.”

Lot closed her eyes.  Her hand squeezed Yuri’s tightly for a moment, then relaxed. 

“Please.  Stop.”  She gathered her strength for a moment, then looked up at Yuri once more.  “I’m not Lot.”

“What?”  Yuri’s eyes were wide, and at the barest edge sat tears threatening to break.  Ebony could see them so clearly, just barely catching the dim rays of light that made their way into the bottom of the cavern. 

“I’m not Lot.  I was – I was Lot.  But now I’m not.  I can’t be Lot if I don’t remember anything about who she was, and telling me what I liked – what I still like – doesn’t make me her.  This whole night you’ve told me what I like, what I want, what to try.  I know you mean well.  I know for you, you’ve seen me do all this before.  But this is my first time.  I’ve never tried fish.  I’ve never sampled wines before.  Tragedies make me sad, and there’s already too much of that in my life.  And maybe Lot never got to try dresses, because I like this one.  Yuri, I’ve never got to live Lot’s life.  I can only live this one.”

Ebony paused for breath.  The damp air made her skin feel clammy, but maybe that was just the anxiety twisting her heart into a knot.

“I need to live this one.  Because I might not get a third.”

Yuri had turned away from her early in the speech.  Her black hair, done into waving curls and tumbling down her back, nearly blended into the granite cave walls.  If it weren’t for the slowly rotating backdrop, she might have disappeared from view entirely.  When she finally spoke, her voice was little more than a croak.

“I think we should get divorced.”

It felt like Ebony had been shot.  She held very still, as if the slightest movement might set her off-balance and she’d go tumbling into the rushing waters below.

“Yuri – “

“No, you’re right,” Yuri turned to look back finally, her tears cutting two shining paths down her face.  “I love you.  I really, really do.  I love you so much, Lot.  I love you so much it hurts, and I’ve really been trying, but it’s killing me.  It kills me you don’t know who I am.  And I’ve b-been trying to shortcut that, to help you remember, but you still don’t know anything about me.  And that’s not fair to you.  It’s not fair that you have a wife you can’t remember.  Th-that you’re already bound by that ring around your neck.  I can’t k-keep you like that.  I th-think we sh-should g-get – should g-get d-d-d- ”

Yuri’s voice broke as she descended into hiccupping sobs.  Before she could even process what she was doing, Ebony wrapped her arms around Yuri’s shoulders and pulled her close.  Yuri buried her face in the crook of Ebony’s neck and clung on tightly.  Ebony could feel her body shaking with each muffled sob.

If she didn’t remember Yuri, why was this breaking her heart?

“Shhh…Yuri, shhhh…it’s okay…”  Ebony ran her hand down Yuri’s tumble of black hair instinctively, soothingly.  It made her palms tingle.

“It’s not fair!”  Yuri wailed between hiccups.  Her voice was difficult to make out, but the words vibrated against Ebony’s skin. 

“I know.  I know it’s not fair.  None of it is.”  Ebony squeezed her a little tighter.  The walls of the cavern, damp with chill dew and interspersed with decayed machinery, were all she could see.  The same scene spun past over and over again as the two of them clung to one another.  They stayed like that for a while, until Yuri’s sobs slowed and Ebony found her heart wasn’t so painfully tight.  It took Yuri a while, but soon she was breathing easier and clinging to Ebony limply.

“You know, it’s funny,” Yuri managed finally.  Her voice was still muffled, but there was an exhaustion to it now.  “You used to pet my hair like that all the time.”

“It’s nice.”  Ebony whispered.  “Silky.”

“Heh heh…you…you always said that, too.”

They lapsed into silence for a minute more.  Ebony continued stroking her hair, even after Yuri stopped sobbing.  And once more, Yuri broke the silence.

“It’s hard.  It’s so hard to believe you’re not Lot.”

“I know.”  Ebony went silent for a moment.  The world spun leisurely around them, here in their private sanctuary by the river.  “I know you married Lot, and not me.  You’re right.  We’ll get divorced.  It’s not fair to either of us.  We’ll get divorced, and try this again fresh.”

Yuri pulled back slowly.  She didn’t let go, but her dark, wet eyes looked into Ebony’s with confusion.  “What?”

“If you’re willing to try things over again.  To get to know Ebony, and know she’s not Lot.  To do it all over again, from square one, then I am too.”

“And if it doesn’t work?”

“Well.  Then at least we tried.”

Mace meets his brother for some happy family time.

Spoiler: Moonlight Chronicles Chapter 8 (click to show/hide)

Mace Hawkshire pinched the bud of a match between calloused fingertips and pulled.  The friction was enough to ignite, and in the brief flash of red phosphorus the group cut harsh shadows against the tunnel walls in lower reaches of Haven.  The glint of sharp steel flickered in the hands of a few of them, but Mace pretended not to notice.  Instead he occupied himself with building an ember on the end of a ragged smoke roll.  The glowing tip was more subdued, and after he dropped the match the glow was the only light to be seen.  It brightened as he pulled.  The gentle glow softened his otherwise angular features.  The haze of curling smoke softened them further.

“If this is how you want things to go,” he murmured, voice deepened by the smoke exiting his lungs, “then you’re going to need more than a couple kitchen knives.”

In the dim dark Mace could see one man – the leader, presumably – pull back his coat.  Iron hung from his hip.  It was a humble little two-shot piece, scarcely more than a pipe gun, but it would kill a man dead just as thoroughly as any other firearm.  Mace, again, pretended not to notice.

“You can tell him I’m not interested,” he continued on.  His voice was barely more than a whisper, but it carried a weight that reached the ears of every man around him.  “Tell him you tried.  That a pea-shooter wasn’t enough to threaten a Hunter.  That when you drew on him, I’d already vanished into the shadows.  It’d be better for your health, that way.”

“Your brother insists.”  The leader – the man with the iron – spoke up.  “Says you’ve been dodging him enough now.  That he’s not askin’ any more.”

“I’m touched.”  Mace’s features glowed red once more as he inhaled another lungful of smoke.  “To think he values quality time with his little brother over the lives of his men.  I’m touched, I really am.”

“Bluffin’, ain’t you?”

He was, in truth.  Killing a band of armed men in the tunnels of Haven would cause more trouble than it was worth.  His kind – Hunters – enjoyed a gray area of the law here in the last bastion of humanity.  Moon above knew Duffy skirted the legal system more than was healthy, but killing?  That wouldn’t go over well.  His kind was supposed to protect humanity.  Even if he claimed self-defense, it was still a bad look emerging from the lower tunnels drenched in blood.

“I’ll kill you.”  Mace said simply.  He looked up at the man with dead eyes.  There was no soul behind his gaze.  It was as empty as his voice.  It was a look he’d perfected in the time since he’d come back and it had involved a lot of time examining a mirror.  “I will kill you all.  Every last one of you.  And I will feel nothing.”

“Mr. Xiao has assured me you won’t.”

For the first time since they’d cornered him did Mace’s demeanor crack.  That’s right.  His brothers name was Lee.  His last name – and Mace’s as well – was Xiao.  Or rather…the person Mace had been before was named Xiao.  Jun Xiao.  The man who’d killed himself in the most awful, horrific manner possible.

In the pause that followed, Mace rotated his smoke roll ninety degrees and massaged the end gently between his teeth.  He’d accidentally bitten it closed when the man-with-iron had said his brothers name.  The next drag settled his nerves.  As twin plumes of smoke exited through his nose he silently contemplated what he’d just been told.

Common thugs were cowards at heart.  Threats worked well, if you had the reputation to back it up.  Even if they thought they could bring him down as a group, they would still have to realize a few of them wouldn’t be walking away afterwards.  This wasn’t a Duke Dreadful.  They wouldn’t just throw their lives away no matter how much they were getting paid.  That meant they trusted Xiao enough to bet their lives against Mace’s bluff.  If Xiao knew the kind of man Mace was, then he would have felt secure in this bet.  It would also suggest he’d considered all the other angles that might go with strong-arming a Holy Hunter into an unwanted meet-and-greet.

Mace was not, it seemed, going to get out of this.

---

Lee Xiao owned the largest, most profitable mining operation in the world. 

It was also the last mining operation in the world, which by default also made it the smallest and least-profitable, too.  Approximately eleven percent of the population in Haven was employed by Xiao Drilling Co., and with the entirety of the settlement being located inside a mountain there was always work to be had.  At any point in the confines of the settlement a person could place their hand against the stone walls and feel the overlapping vibrations of various drills boring ever deeper into the ground below.  They were always drilling.  Drilling for more space, for more resources, for more power. 

Lee’s office was located high in the mountain, almost directly above the rest of the settlement by about a hundred meters.  Water buckets were ferried up on a chain, powered by the underground river far below.  Fresh air was piped in through grated holes in the rock.  Light – like everywhere else in Haven – was provided by electrical bulbs drilled into the wall.  The wires coated the ceilings of every tunnel like cobwebs.

“I think Jun and I will get along without a chaperone.” 

The man-with-iron bowed respectfully to the man seated behind a large, simply-cut granite desk, then exited the room.  Mace didn’t look as the man left.  He was still silently fuming that they’d taken his smoke roll before they’d ushered him inside.  “Mr. Xiao don’t smoke,” he’d said, stamping out the half-burned roll underfoot.

God, Mace wanted a smoke right now.

The door shut with a subdued click.  The two brothers were left alone together – possibly for the first time since Mace had turned.  The air was always cold beneath the mountain, but as the silence stretched winter began clawing through the pipes.  Nearly everything in this room was stone.  Stone chairs, stone desk, stone cabinets and stone tables.  The only things not made of stone were the metal fixtures and documents that were stacked neatly on nearly every surface.  This was a place where work was done and nothing else.

Mace hated it.

“How much do you remember - ”
“ - Nothing.”

Their words nearly collided in the air as they passed one another by.  A question and answer – like a quickdraw at noon.  The silence resumed.  Lee’s eyes were like the rest of his office.

Granite.  Cold, frozen granite.

“I find that hard to believe,” he said softly.  Ah…so it was a family trait, then.  Low, dangerous voices.  “Not a single.  Solitary.  Thing?”

“Sorry to disappoint.”  Mace’s voice was a void, as empty as his eyes. 

“They tell me it was suicide.”

“So I’ve heard.”

“Why did you do it.”

Mace paused, surprised by the question.  Why indeed.  He didn’t remember anything.  Ebony spoke of vague blurs and half-remembered emotions.  Duffy had spent so long trying to remember he’d fabricated most of his memories to begin with.  But for Mace…nothing.  There wasn’t even an empty void to peer into.  Like the end of a severed rope, it simply…stopped. 

“I thought if anyone knew, it would be you.”

If the air had been cold before, it was now numbing.  The muscles in Lee’s jaw tensed, and much like his company his eyes bored deep into Mace.  He could sense it – a preternatural ability to sense danger was something all Hunters picked up when they were reborn.  Whatever Mace had just said, it was the wrong thing.

“And what.  Do you mean.  By that.”

“If we were close enough for you to seek me out,” Mace’s voice had dropped low.  His composure every bit matched Lee’s.  “Then we were close enough that you should have known something was wrong.”

The tension eased suddenly, as though a boulder perched on the edge of a cliff had just rolled back.  For the first time since they’d met, Lee blinked.

“Whatever it was, I don’t know and I don’t want to know,” Mace continued.  “I’m not Jun.  I’m not your brother.  That man died under the moon, and I’m just lucky enough to be left in the drivers seat.  Whatever drove him out under the stars…well, I’d rather not have anything to do with it.  I’m sorry.”

The air warmed to the usual below-zero chill at that.  Lee’s hands slid across the worn granite desk as he leaned back in his chair.  His eyes never left Mace, but there was something else to them now, something more than just ice cold stone.  Pity?  Regret?

“A man with my brothers face.  With my brothers voice.  Who walks, acts, and talks like my brother.  And yet, claims not to be.”  Lee mulled this over quietly.  “How should I treat this man, then?”

“As he treats you,” Mace replied.  “As a stranger.  With no debt between us.”

Mace counted his breaths in the silence that followed. The conversation had died, and the dead air hung heavy. It felt wrong. Not just the normal awkward pause, but like he should know what to say to his brother. That he was missing something important that he needed to remember to tell him. He could stand an uncomfortable silence with the best of them, but this…felt different. The glitter of Lee's ring caught his eye as the moment elongated. It was something to ask about, to kill the silence that stalked them both.  Though there was no debt between them – at least as far as he was concerned – this man had been kin to the person he’d been before.  It was a kindness, nothing more.

"Jun.  Did he have a sister-in-law?"

The stillness became gelid for a moment, Lee's eyes hardening instantly.

"The ring." Mace shrugged, helpless in a moment of conversation despite the battlescars decorated him. This was his reward.  Kindness, repaid with hostility.  Lee eye’s drilled into Mace once more, looking for something.  And then the chill broke, and he shook his head.

"Ah.  Yes.  You and she...Or, Jun and she…" his brother hesitated, his eyes finally falling away.  Whatever composure he’d managed up until now had cracked. Mace nodded, understanding suddenly.

"They didn't get along, did they? I'm sorry," he stopped, and then added, "though I don't know what to be sorry for."

Lee nodded, his composure regained, but that deadly silence was back.

"Do I…did he have…" Mace began, wetting his lips. "Did he have nieces, nephews?"

Lee’s eyes did not rise for a long time, and for a moment Mace feared the answer would be terrible indeed. Had they died? Had Jun somehow had a hand in it?  Was that the reason for the hostility, the ever-lasting chill between the two of them?

Finally, Lee spoke with a wry smile twisting his lips.

"Two nieces, twins alike as mirrors. They loved their uncle very much."

Finally, Mace's brother looked him the eyes again, and there was none of the former searching intensity. Just a deep sadness. "I think they'd very much like to see you again."

Ah.

Mace nodded. A brother he didn't remember, a sister-in-law who hated him for reasons lost to the Moon-curse, and two children whose grief he'd only renew if he visited. His brother's tenseness made sense. Coldly, like a carefully aimed shot, Mace realized he'd have caused his family less pain if he'd stayed dead.

For the first time since his rebirth, Mace felt the call of the void.  The same call that Jun must have felt, all those months ago.
