Faffing around in the dark: Turn 7

[motorhead fan]

Assuming I can proceed,

Spoiler: show

Move inside the building I am on top of, then shoot/hit the first enemy I see.

It is best to send me orders in a private message, that way other people can't know what you are going to do.

cool experiment either way

[motorhead fan]

Well, I hope this turn helps you decide.

Turn 3

first things first, I'm sorry about how dark these pics are, I changed the brightness, saved them, but my computer didn't show any difference, so I changed them again, then it showed me the difference, so there are 50% darker instead of 25%, so I'm sorry.

DJ Squidley

The 3 skellingtons go towards the lorry and find the Metaform still there.


You can't tell, but the first one kills it with his bare hands.(+1 soul)

1 attacked the lookout but missed(I forgot to take the photo, sorry)

TheAtomikPunk

Sahasrahla

Spoiler: show

A bunch of skeletons come and kill the Metaform over here. The acid blood kills one in return.



The ones to the north get caught in overlapping fields of fire, killing them all.

Please send your orders for turn 4!

[stubby]

I changed the brightness, saved them, but my computer didn't show any difference, so I changed them again, then it showed me the difference, so there are 50% darker instead of 25%, so I'm sorry.

YAAAA!!! Missed, luckily, you didn't hit him, so he has no idea that you are there.

So many bullets I ran out of normal dice and had to use microdice.


The skeleton absorbed a bit of damage and go turned into dust, the building took the rest.


And was completely reduced to a pile of rubble.

Tastyskippy123

Spoiler: show

I seem to have been so focused on taking photos of what you did to others, I forgot to take photos of you.
Basically, a skeleton ran out of that house and straight into your response fire, you did the most damage I have ever seen in a game, so much that I ran out of normal dice and had to resort to using the far to small dice that I received for Saturnalia.

The shots fired...


The damage dealt...


Undead dust and a house turned to rubble in a few seconds.

(You have to reload, but otherwise, you are in the same place.)

Send orders for turn 7!

Sahasrahla

Spoiler: show
