A Scavenger explores the woods with a metal detector...

Beep!

Looking for Ore, or buried loot, he starts digging...

Scavver: What the hell's this now?

20190306_233727 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr

He unearths a Magikal Staff, Completely colorblind, he doesn't even realize that it's not blue, but Purple, an extremely rare power stone...

Scavver: Bah.. Hippy dippy garbage!..

20190306_233817 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
He trades the staff for some coin and supplies at a local junk dealer in Novgorod..

And he puts it away for safe keeping, also not realizing what he's just obtained..

Svoboda Radio: Ey! Get some fighters! There's an artifakt in the Lambda Cluster!.. If we can't get it for ourselves, lets go ruin someone elses day, boys!

Then... within minutes, alarms blare all over the battle plates.. Military and Scientific faction bases light up with activity.. Basil is about to become a warzone...

[Kastrenzo]

Within minutes of the alert. Red vehicles start to enter the plate and beeline for the Trade post

The Boss of the trade post, accompanied by his paltry security detail confront the visitors

Vorhut Confessor: A fine afternoon to you all!. By the command of High Confessor Jericho, the Order seeks to confiscate an illegal device that has been traced to this location!
Boss: You'll do no such thing! We're a free trade center, and you're in violation of the treaty! Leave now!
Vorhut Confessor: Aha! I think you'll find that treaty of no use when all the other parties show up here, too!. Now hand it over!

20190307_004811 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
With all of the parties that were supposed to protect the neutral trading post, seemingly invading the plate... Local traders, and passing Mercenaries take up arms to defend the post. If not them, who else?

20190307_004813 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
And stuck in the middle of all it, are Bob and Kast.



ALL ORDERS WILL BE DONE ON DISCORD, IN THE BATTLES CHANNEL. Generally when I start playing, I have little patience, so If people aren't around, I'll sub their turn to someone else.

this will be a little battle for me to get into the groove again. The beauty of this scenario is that I'm going to give agency to the players to do what they want. Whether that be fight over the artifakt, protect the town, ignore the artifakt and attack other locations or groups.. Whatever.

When they arrive, their officer shouts at the gates. Attempting to persuade them into joining forces.

Krieger Officer: Hey!, Scavvers! The Black Legion's come to town! If you don't want to get burned alive by those bastards, then you better give us a hand!. Or else stay out of our way

20190309_143404 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
Persuasion failed

There is no reasoning with these isolationist jerks. A muzzle flash pops from the embraisure, and a Krieger trooper is shot off the vehicle

Syndikat Operatives start the game in Stealth. Stealth rules in spoiler

Spoiler

Show

Stealth Rules

Units in stealth, are invisible to all other players. Players cannot metagame by bombing their locations or moving troops towards them.

To catch a unit in stealth, Line of sight must be made. If the stealth unit is in the open, No roll is necessary

Otherwise, if a unit is in an obstructed area, like partially concealed, Then to attempt to get line of sight, the two sides roll against each other to determine if they're spotted.

Players cannot metagame by moving troops towards them with the intention of spotting them. To even attempt a move, they must first roll against each other, and then roll again to spot individual units.

Once spotted, the unit is out of stealth for the rest of the game, Stealth also breaks if they attack anyone.
