Message:The election has had some stumbles as Prettier Heavens (Freebooters) and Defund Martial Bands (Crime Lords) have been knocked out of the Polls. This caused a big boost to Save the Kro Tit-Mouse (S~R Group) but it still is not tracking. Moving into first, if the election were to occur today, are End Walking Cloning (Journeymen Cartel), Status Qon (War Cartel) and Orphans and Widows Funds (Buccaneers).
Why does this matter? Well, soon Skill bonuses and penalties occur as weaker parties are culled. Five gone and eight remain.
Twas a card heavy session both leaving the Epilog and getting to Phase C. Sleeg and Eephus barely survived. Pax fell hard (on Death of Character table) but lived to fight another day. The squad also ran from a hopeless cause and incurs a penalty on future Death Benefit rolls.
We twice hit situations where the triple Trait Mobs could not be defeated in one round (set of turns) so the squad suffered a random character Combat Harm. These caused the triple condition of Breach, Exploit and Overwhelm. One time we could not overcome that outcome. Once we managed to fight to the end.
Pax made a command decision to run the events counter-clockwise, meaning Roho (cruz) takes actions first, then Sleeg, Eephus and finally Pax at the end. Makes sense.
Eephus decided on a dare to surf outside the Perisher through the Worm Hole but survived. The ship less so. An Antiship was created in our dimension but it was determined to be the Good version of ourselves. The galaxy is better off from that creation. Now do they wish us ill-harm? No but we are honor bound to purge them – because.
More Battle Born Next in a week.
