Yet the floor and medical malpractice is killing you in ways better than whatever monstrosity is waiting inside.

If either of the 2 people carrying you trip even one more time, even on the most minimal of damage will probably kill you.

Somehow, I can't help but feel like you'd have had a better chance of survival inside the collapsing room.

Falling down onto the stone floor on your face causing 2 damage is nearly equivalent to  getting shot unarmored by a .22 pistol at point-blank.

This is a true, but misleading fact. It assumes shot causes no serious damage (so, no bones, no arteries, definitely no brains or spines) you can, basically, unload your whole magazine into an average human in this manner, and assuming immediate medical attention, she will live the rest of her life just fine (physically I mean. Mentally this experience is bound to mess one up).

being shot in the face by a .22 pistol

is 4 points of damage. And being shot through the brain (rather than, say, the cheek) is 8.
And being shot in the face with a 9mm round unarmored  is 18. (thank Science for helmets, amirite?)

Good observation/calculation!
2 damage would like being shot by a .22 in the chest but at a non-vital spot. Perhaps if it hits a bone and shatters?

But how can you kill something that isn't alive~?

Several ways, I'd assume. Detonating a Nuclear bomb on it would most likely work. Nerve Gas might work but there's no telling if it's cells will be killed faster than it can regenerate or not, or if it regenerates at all. It's a whole different being that's not of our world, after all. And for all we know, Sarin Gas might just heal it instead.

But let's scale that down a bit since Nukes are expensive and Chemical weapons will most likely make it so you can't go near it.

some 1000lb High-explosive Fragmentation guided bomb dropped out of a jet fighter have a good chance of killing pretty much anything, I'd believe. And if a Dragon can catch a jet up at Mach 3, surely no helicopter on the world exist that can outfly and y'all fucked anyway.

Or maybe some Air-burst bombs? The explosive heat and fire have always been humanity's test and tried way of purifying a great many things.

Perhaps concentrated fire from a gunship using the GAU-8 30mm vulcan cannon that fires High-explosive armor piercing incendiary tracer rounds?

Seriously, we're Humanity. If we want something dead, we'll find a way. Like they said, a right amount of explosion in the right place can solve any problem.

You haven't even gone though your first room yet and everything's already going FUBAR.

It looks like someone made a scientist while I couldn't. I guess I'm out for this game then.

There's 2 scientists already, I think. But I don't see why we can't have another one? A team consisting of nothing BUT Scientists and Doctors could be interesting!


Might want to make your first mission a quick grab and smash for money info stuff first to buy some drones to fight for you, though.

Why do half of the tech specializations have seemingly no use? I can't see any equipment that pairs with Sensors for example.

Would be nice to have IR or motion sensing stuff.

We'll have to ask the DM to stat it out for us. I'm assuming that the Scientist could use some sort of a omni-sensor kind of thing that senses movement and the likes? maybe it'll show up on all of your HUDs too! That'd be pretty cool.

A machine pistol isn't what I'd normally call normal. Any Glock or Beretta equivalents?

well, to be fair. The Duster would be like the equivalents of a Glock with 30 rounds magazine. You don't have to shoot it on full-auto, of course.

Plus I really don't see the reason as to why someone would take a 12 - 15 rounds 9mm that fires only on single shots into the Castle, I mean, we could shave the Duster's cost to 5* and have it's magazine be 15 rounds each and have it cost 1* for 2 magazines? That'd make it become a 'normal' pistol equivalent to a Glock or Beretta.

We could do that if you'd like?
