Exile Oh hey! Finally something to do! A puzzle, and one of those dynamically shifting ones at that! So... let's gather up all the details first, there's rubble falling from the roof, that's bad. It's the result from an explosion, a pretty big one at that, which is to say that it won't be predictable and the debris that does come down will probably be pretty big. Oh and the alarm's definitely been raised, but that's not too pressing (fufu~ pressing, get it?) right now. As 9 out of 10 experts will agree, roofs are big, heavy, and crushy, so... blasting it probably isn't

OOC and IC. Need a central place to hold the sheets and table of contents and all that after all. As for Immanuel, it's thanks to Arrowsmith having a character by the name of Gottlieb with two t's.

Player Characters have been selected as follows Faznie Kotvar Immanuel Gotlieb (whose name I will forever misspell thanks to Arrowsmith) Sasha Estevez Tor Svensen Also I'll be grabbing Marina von Siemens as a Player-Controlled Support Character. Basically the selection was really damn close and your character is linked to a PC so they'll be in the game under your control, but they may not appear in every encounter of chapter depending on what is appropriate and how busy I am at any given time. OOC will be up when we figure out how the fuck everything fi

The Fuck is This? Here, have a link. (Warning, the link is to a very large image, I would not suggest trying to access it if you're on mobile data right now.) I'm looking for 4 players. I'll probably choose them in, let's say a week or so. Acknowledgements Credit where credit is due. FAQ Just a few questions that have cropped up in the past. Example Builds Please read at least a few of them before writing up a sheet, just the builds I mean, not the commentary on them unless you wanna know more about what makes them tick.

Exile So that was that huh? Just blast through, so much for surprise, so much for caution. Who knows what lay behind each wall, what trap or snare, how awfully dreary, a game of chance is fine but a blind and of all things, fair toss of the coin? That's boring, there's nothing to influence, no puzzle, no challenge, it's just there. Hmph! What a pain! Conjuring an illusory lance of energy, stands aside and manifests the spell, driving it into a nearby wall while standing to the side just in case something fun was on the other side. Like an ambush. Or a trap. Or... okay

Exile An illusion? That could make sense, it'd be awfully hard to evac through an entire maze after all, not without shortcuts. But with long hallways like that, all it'd take was another cannon, another trap, and they'd all be dead~ "If it is, what should prob~ably check t path we came in on, see if there's any passages or traps~!"

Exile "Hiyee~! Gypsy's dead. Ice and Anemone are wounded. Ansuz was critically wounded but evacc'd before we could finish him off. What's new on your end? Have you decided to settle down and raise a family? Who's the father?" She pauses for a moment, another loading icon appearing above her head. "Also! Ansuz's mech appears to be an energy cannon with overwhelming power which can be amplified using these lens thingies! Low rate of fire, seems to lock before firing giving a chance to dodge (I'm expecting they'll try and fix that) doesn't seem to have too much in the way of mobility

Exile - Teleporter Room A curt nod and Exile follows, the illusionist's mind elsewhere, not that to say such was to say much of course. A cursory glance over the facility map, a quick inspection of the teleporters, no dice. No obvious vulnerabilities right now, nothing jumping out just yet. Well, wouldn't be fun if it weren't a challenge, right~? Still if that crater was anything to go by, area denial wasn't an issue this group was deficient in, and with interspersed and she could only presume, normally heavily fortified teleporter relays, they'd likely be able to blast their own f

>Exile as DPS Wow, we're really scraping the barrel here aren't we. Sure hope the home team will be able to keep Ice from just murdering Charity to death.

Exile - Atrium Crater Exile peers over the edge of the crater, a safe distance away from the precipice of course, gaze and focus haphazardly jumping across everything before her, and a few things that were not. "Figure stuff out of course~! See that crater? One rune did that. None of us found it in time, and I was even looking for it and everything! Careful as we are, we've set some off, and now Ansuz won't be playing games, he'll be going for our throats. Can't take that risk now. We need a better way to find them, or jam them. Something cheap and easy, like a liquid or a vapour o

Exile "Amelia. Her mech looks kinda like one. Melee. Very high speed. Poor defenses. Anyway~ no I'm not crazy, unfortunately for you~ and no I'm not off my meds either!" she takes her communication set and follows. "If you see a rune, tell me! I've some experiments to run."

Exile "Annie's right, we need all the manpower we can get! We've got allies still in there and we need to regroup with them!" "You!" she bounds towards Sense, practically lunging at him, her face drawing uncomfortably close, uncomfortably quickly towards his own. "What's your name? What can you do? I'm Exile, that's Fedora, he can do illusions, I can do a bit of that and a bit of conjuration; are you good with bears? Are you good with beer? Are you good with animals that are like bears? What about glowy shield mages and hula-hoops?"

Exile Exile definitely didn't look like she'd mind seeing as she's jumping around waving excitedly at his approach. "Hiya~! How've you been? Was it fun? Did you make any new friends? Did you find out anything about what's going on here? Anything interesting~?" She tilts her head and a blade appears inches from his throat. "What's your name? What's my name? My real name? What were your orders? What were the team names? Which team were you on? Which team was I on? What did you say to me last night? What was the first thing you asked me this mission? What was my respons
