:cherenicon: OK, here's the map. I'm here, which is pretty far in enemy territory. I can go west, which is more wilderness-y area, and less chance of getting caught if I steal something or blow up something by accident or on purpose. If I go too far I may hit the front lines, though, which is not where I want to be caught in. If I head east, the roads are better, but there's going to be more crap-bolds with their snotty little fingers all over everything. That's farther into their territory, and the general direction that I came from. I could head south into the swamp but I'm not going to because fuck that.

The grey roads are like, shitty medieval stone roads, but they're better than the brown ones which are shitty dirt roads. I'm pretty much just inside the 'borders' of dribbleglibblewhatever, but not far enough to be out of the frontier where they don't have a solid grasp on everything like they supposedly do further up north. That direction is right out, by the way. That's how I got in this mess.

:iconcheren:
All right, heading west. I've gone a few hours' travel and I can see some shit apparently going down farther up the road. It could be some other raiders attacking a truck, by the looks of it.

Well, stay hidden for now and survey the situation through the scope of your rifle.

Are other Raiders save by the way? Or are they likely to kill you and take all your stuff if given the chance? Might be an opposing gang or something.

:cherenicon: Looks like a bike and two other vehicles attacking a fuel truck. It's unguarded, which is unusual. I can tail them but I can't drive with a rifle in my hands and I'd need to catch up to see what's actually going on. They probably don't notice me at all right now.

Er... why? I think we should, y'know, team up with other Sergals when possible. We don't know who's driving the truck or anything.

I think we should drive up on the side to check out who they're raiding.
>>
No. 356960 ID: 72d8c7

Drive as close as you need to figure out who's who. Obviously if they're cutebolds in uniform don't side with em and oppressed citizens obviously would be friendly enough. But fellow outlaws are unpredictable. They may be friendlies, or they might be the sort to shoot and loot anyone they can.

:cherenicon: All right, you guys seem to be confused about how either driving works, or possibly shooting a scoped rifle. You can't exactly do both at the same time unless you want a scope embedded in your eye socket or something. I'll drive ahead to get a better vantage point, then I can start shooting. This will have the advantage of getting a closer look as well. I think I see two sergals and maybe a gobber. I can drive ahead, stop and shoot the rifle, or I can try to get closer and shoot with my revolver without stopping. Since they're keeping up with the truck I can easily get ahead of them.

>>
No. 357050 ID: 0a36f2

Don't shoot em until you absolutely have to. They are not necessary friendly, but probably your only real chances for allies out here.

Are there factions among Raiders or are all independent gangs?
I mean do you recognize any symbols or colors that would give an hint about how they would react to you? The outfits they wear look totally like yours.

If you think it's kinda safe drive closer and yell at em if they need help or something. If they react badly you can still race away.

They don't seem that organized to me. Most people travel in smaller groups; attracts-FUCK hit something! OK never mind, I'm good- less attention.

If they shoot at me would be a good reason.

Looks like the two on the other side blew out one of the tires, the red vehicle shot something at the cab but it didn't look like it dealt much damage to it.
>>
No. 357066 ID: 0a36f2

Well, as lame that might be, do you even have anything to win from taking part in that combat?

Helping the Sergals is a risk because you don't know what they are going to do with you after the combat, and fighting em is an even bigger risk. Kinda doubt you really have a chance against a group of well armed Raiders.
And even if you, by luck, succeed it won't really be worth it. Neither the truck nor the drivers are worth risking your life for.

Better speed away and look for something that's less of an gamble.

Are you serious? Whoever commands the tank is not going to give Cheren any reward for turning on her own kind, a bullet in the head is more likely.

Watch what's happening from fucking far away though, through the scope and in cover.

No point getting involved, but you might wanna stick around if you can stay hidden, for looting after it's over and such.

AT rifles are only really effective against lightly armored vehicles. Against an actual tank, it's no more effective than the other rifle.

No. 357120 ID: 1854db

>>357118
That may be correct in modern times, but it was in fact created to pierce the armor of early tanks. Heck, even today AT rifles can pierce the armor of light tanks. That looks like a light tank to me.

>>357102
No, attacking the raiders is not profitable at all, since tanks = cutebolds and the cutebolds are genocidal. They will kill Cheren even if we help them.

That's cause a few weeks is how much time someone would take to observe your movements and plan the appropriate death-raid.

Now ask if they atleast have a secured escape route. If they don't have even an unexplored path to deeper levels of an ancient complex, then holy shit these guys are crawling into a rattrap.

But we do want companions, so otherwise follow them in. Just in case though, make a mental note right now of where you and their survivors might flee following said death-raid. Remember any local tree-lines and the such.

there are other small ruins fairly close by. Most underground installations or operations are discovered by associated equipment or activity.

I suggest:
1) park some of the vehicles near the other ruins that are close. follow the tracks back to the road and fork up the grass to minimize the impressions on the terrain. don't bother if it's impossible to mask/remove the ruts.

2) establish parking spots for the vehicles. somewhere to make them look deserted or part of the ruins. park them in the same spot in the same direction every time. if you need to back them up or turn them around, do so on the rocks.

3) establish a more secure escape route. should the little snots discover this base of operations, it'd be hella easy for them to crawl in the trunk, drop in a gas grenade, and wait to smoke you out, or just have a tank shoot at the only door until it all collapses and fuses the metal together, sealing you in.

4) search the tunnels for other entrances or exits. we have reason to believe that kobolds may have vehicles capable of digging into the earth and they might use them if they consider you a big enough thread (which, if you're doing your job correctly, you should be). find choke points, fallback areas, escape routes, etc.

5) while exploring try to map or make a mental map of the underground complex. the availability of protected and stealthed mobility is crucial in guerrilla warfare, and would work wonders for you and your sniper tactics should your base come under attack.

on the other hand, if you don't plan on staying here more than one night, disregard 4 and 5 and suggest 1 and 2 to the others--3 is crucial though.

Wow, whoever built this thing had a serious case of Short Man's Syndrome. Didn't stop if from getting completely shot to shit though.

The tunnel we came in through is apparently some kind of side entrance to a hall or something. The other side of this place is a giant pile of rubble, probably from getting blown the fuck up if my expert opinion is right.

There hasn't been any army presence at all, apparently. Well until just now. These ruins are all over the place.

Offer them aid, and mention your concern over them being trapped like rats under the likeliness of kobold death raids. Just don't forget to look for an escape route eventually.

And at some point, you should try and salvage the captured armor. If you can't get it running properly, you could probably shove it into the entry hall with all of it's guns facing outwards. It'd make a great and unexpected fighting position against the kobold kill-mechs, especially if it has any heavy weapons.

No. 366242 ID: 607593

be careful about exploring these ruins, and especially careful about exploring underwater caves--there no guarantee besides DM fiat that there will be air pockets close enough and frequent enough for your explorations to be reasonably safe.
Also, if this is the only other exit, you should probably try to find another. It'll be easy as hell to track you if you can get out(assuming you can even get to the surface back there) and the weight of your equipment (that isn't water damaged) will increase from being wet, not to mention that swimming while wearing all your gear will be pretty hard if the passage is of any considerable length.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend, but not your best friend. Find out more about them, where they're from, what they're doing out here, and most importantly why they're out here. Not everyone has the best or selfless intentions or motivations, and it would be good to know which of these people you could count on in a fight not to turn tail or betray you.

How long are you intending to stay here? Gonna stay and fight with them, or continue west after a bit?

You kind of need (extremely) high pressures to hold a useful amount of air, considering that, at atmospheric pressure, one breath = one lung-volume.

It's not particularly urgent to go exploring down there unless the kobolds are known to have underwater specops teams for this kind of thing. Focus on improving the security and stealthiness of the hideout first—though after all you've been through, taking an hour or so to bathe and relax might not be a bad idea at all.

There's always the Ghetto Surface Supply route: find two engines, hook them driveshaft-to-driveshaft, and fiddle the valve system on one to exhaust on the compression stroke, or just use a 2-stroke. Remove the fuel feed, and give it a damn good clean out. Hook the 'exhaust' to a hose, and voila! You have an air supply. Be careful not to dive below about ~30m or you'll get giddy from the nitrogen PP, and make sure the exhaust from the running engine is ducted FAR away from the pump intake.

First one isn't locked. Why the hell are the hallways so tall if the rooms are so fucking low? There's some kind of thing that's shaped like a bed but it's made out of stone.

Maybe you could get some rope, tie it around whatever tool you have that could be used to either get the box out or force the doors open and pull it through the flooded area after swimming.

If only you had a third prehensile appendage.

One thought: get your tools of choice, wrap them in some rope with a long lead. do your swimming with the other end of the rope wrapped around you, then pull the tools after once you've got a stable spot with air.

Also consider just breaking the end of the box open, over trying to pry it loose.

I don't feel like drowning in some fucked up idea to drag rope and shit around under the water. If I can't wear it I'm not swimming with it. The box is made of stone anyway, I'd have to have a big fucking crowbar to smash it open. I'll check the last door before either going back or checking out the other way.

Well that's one way to drain upstairs. You can cling on to the ladder and hold your breath while tonnes and tonnes of water flood past you until it finally abates enough to let you surface, right?

Pretty sure that's green, and is for the farms. Which is likely what's flooded the place. I believe resetting it to the default position (up) will allow the water to drain away. It's hard to be sure, though.

I don't think pulling the iron lever is a good idea, since the water coming out of the hatch would be moving really fast. Cheren would either have to get out of the way of the water really fast or tie herself to something and be sure that she can hold her breath for as long as the water continued to move at high velocity.

...I'm really curious as to why there's still air here, actually. Either the source of the water is at ankle height or something shut off the flow which was previously enough to flood the mines.

Maybe we should check further down the hall before doing anything?

Also get the others to help you. No need to do it all alone and after you scouted the area even a worse swimmer should manage it.

Take the fighty-sergal, the purple goblin, and leave behind the other goblin and the medic. We won't be able to bring any first aid supplies through the water so it's not really a useful skill, and it's probably a good idea to leave more than one person on this side.

After the skeletons are busted we can tend to wounds.

I've got another crazy-ass idea. if the first aid kit is anything like I imagine an combat med-kit it should be waterproof enough to get at least an handgun or two through the water. Even if some moisture goes through, revolvers ain't exactly high-tech that breaks if getting a bit wet.

Except for that take the purple suicide goblin and make out with Drizelle.

OK, checking the other door before I go back. Looks like it leads to the same place as the one right next to it, some kinda underground river with a sandy bottom. Looks like the ceiling gets lower on both the upstream and downstream sides till it goes underwater completely. I'm not gonna swim in that shit, that's a good way to get drowned real quick. There's some gratings farther downstream, about where I'd suspect the two pumps to be.

Well, both have doors with rocks spilled into them, it looks like this hallway went on for a lot longer originally.

So... the pumps dump water into the river. Closing the green gates and operating the pumps would move water out of where the pumps are. It's too bad there isn't actually much water in the pump rooms... but it's a start.

Now, we could hook up one of the cars to the broken windmill to operate the pump while nobody's down here. Then we could just pull the rusty lever to de-flood the place, assuming we can do it without getting fucked over by the water rushing through.

Those other levers are uh... fuck, I don't know. Have we gone basically everywhere? This place has confused me. Why don't we just start experimenting with them? The small levers on the right side seem relatively harmless.

No. 389299 ID: 1854db

I'm thinking the levers on the right side of the room all control things in areas we can't get to at the moment.

So... I'm thinking we could put something on top of the grating that gets opened via that lever, so that it partially blocks the opening. Then when the lever is pulled the water flow isn't as powerful. Or rather, the water flow doesn't have as much volume behind it. It will be very high pressure so whoever pulls the lever needs to stand out of the way of the jet.

After pulling it though they can get to safety easier with a lower flow.

:boz: I was doing that just a while ago. There was one of those Kathartes guys and his cart going down the road a few minutes ago, but I haven't seen any other traffic. I didn't get any closer to it though, those things creep me out and I wasn't wearing a shirt. No signs of anything else though

Kathartes? What is that, one of those weird bug things we saw and got really high off of being near?

:boz: You don't know about them? Those horrible bird men? I hear they steal your organs and replace them with machines so they can eat them later. Somebody I know totally knew somebody that got kidnapped by them, and she woke up in a barrel full of ice with this big line of stitches across her belly, because they took out her liver and ate it! And there's anot-
:cherenicon:
I get the picture.

I've heard stories about bird people, some of the old people call them 'navrea' or something like that. I've never seen one, the stories all say they're nothing to worry about. They are like little people that dance and sing, like those moks but less creepy. This goblin is about as full of shit as a kobold's nose. How scary can a bird be?

I don't have my gun with me, but there's a spyglass I can use. Yeah, it's some thing pulling a cart. Not anything I can make out what it is though. I can let it pass or I can go put some pants on . It's not moving that fast, I could probably catch it easily just running down there, not to mention using a real vehicle.

Guess you could put your new warband to the test and raid em.
Have the others flank em and set up an trap on the road ahead. You can then follow them and cover the ambush with your rifles and snipe em in case they resist. Take the prettiest of the Sergals with you, as a spotter.

Take your time to properly prepare and gear up though. It's rally not important enough to risk anything.

OK, we're about 200m away from the road here, so if we're gonna attack, should we just charge down there or what?
>>
No. 394221 ID: 063c28

I'm not sure it's a good idea to attack someone so close to your base of operations; if they come back later with friends, they'll have no trouble finding you. Do we even need any resources right now?

If we must attack them, wait several hours until they're further away so it doesn't give away your newfound, if temporary, home.
>>
No. 394222 ID: ed57e8

attack starts with you shooting out a tire. not here further down the road a bit. they pull over and while looking at it you jump them.

Normally I would agree, but I'd say set up a trap and see who the occupants of the vehicle are first.

They're not 'bolds, so unless you're desperate for something they're likely to have, leave 'em alone. Not worth drawing attention to the camp.

No. 394374 ID: 1854db

I think we should get our pants on and get closer to see what's in the thing via spyglass without revealing ourselves.

And ask the others if it's even a good idea to attack the thing. Do they think it'd be worth it?
>>
No. 394477 ID: 71840e

I got a feeling they might be gypsylike. If true they are probably no friends of the Kobold Reich. If Boz G is remotely right they might have knowledge of cybernetic technology! Lets be cautious but not hostile.

Set up an ambush point with snipers overlooking the wagon just in case things fucks up, then have someone wait in plain view or approach the caravan to check the dudes out. Perhaps trade can be made or a new mechanic recruited.

:cherenicon: All right, I'm gonna go check it out. I want whoever's the best shot to cover me. What else do you know about these guys? Should we attack them and take their shit or what?
:boz: I heard they have magic, and they probably have some guns too or something. everybody has guns.

:menji: Well, there is only one of them. Then again, there's only one of them, traveling by itself at night. That's something I might be wary of.

:boz: They have all kinds of creepy technology stuff too, mechanical eyes and hands and who knows what else! It might be worth a lot of cash if we can steal it all.


:cherenicon:
I don't trust any of them not to fuck this up, so I'll scout ahead myself. I found a good spot, and I haven't been seen yet. I'll take a look at - ok what the FUCK is that thing? I can't even tell where its face is. Does it even have one or just some fucked up wrinkles of skin?

I assume that vulture looking motherfucker is the nevrean. Certainly doesn't look like the stories though. I thought they were supposed to be like, little brightly colored singing peeping guys. There's some figures on the roof too, I'm gonna assume they're gobbos from the retarded coloration, but they're not moving, and kind of in weird positions. So do I approach this guy, shoot at him, or just go back inside and drink till morning?
>>
No. 394579 ID: 9f34df

Approach, he may be a slaver. Freeing the goblins will get you positive karma. If they turn out to be slaves I mean.

No. 394584 ID: ed57e8

once everyone is in position shoot the beast in the gold ring on the front. appears to be a mechanical eye.

No. 394665 ID: e0a638

More guns for us is cool, they might have body integrated shit we cant use, but they might also have trade goods adapted for other races. I'd keep a close eye on those goblin looking things. The way they sit they look like guard dogs ready to pounce on aggressors.

We don't know how dangerous the nevrean can be either, looks pretty bulky under that cloak... AT rifle might be useful.

I guess if we want potential implants we approach the guy and trade. Otherwise knock an AT round in its chest. Hope the others got machine guns or something to mow down the goblins if they start sprinting towards us or something.
>>
No. 394670 ID: 88e5ad

approach him. not too closely, but close enough to talk, and more importantly, have him see the big fuck-off cannon you'll be holding in your hands.

maybe bring someone else with you so he realises you're not alone.

I think the creature in front is known as a WHAT THE FUCK!?! Monster. The brid is definitely not a nevrean. The stories you heard were pretty accurate. Givin the whole scene here, I inclined to take the rumors the pink gobo gave you as at least fesabl. Careful if you shoot the beast, it might not have vital anatomy. It might not even be alive. Mechanical or undead maybe? We've seen enough of the latter today.

I say we ambush it as planned, once it's a good distance away. Shit that creepy needs to get shot.

Snipe the vulture with... the smaller rifle. Continue sniping anything that continues to move in any aggressive manner. The others can approach afterwards.

:cherenicon:
So where are you guys from and how'd you end up here?

:menji: Well, I was born really far to the west of here. I never knew my real parents, the goblins I was raised with said they found me as a baby. We had to move around a lot, we could never stay in any towns for long. The group eventually decided to head for somewhere farther out to get away from the snotters. I figured I'd had enough running around from them, and went out on my own.
:boz: We made a farm.
:menji: Yeah we did. We though they'd moved on, but then they started laying rail around where we were. Coming from the east, as usual. So we kind of had to run for it. We met up with Drizelle and the rest of the gang a while after that, but everybody else we were raiding with is dead now.
