Windscale on reserve.

Also, why is Eilie still wounded?

>>1022723
Eilie was a Casualty from Hell in the Water. She rested during Kobold and the Beautiful, so she recovered from Casualty to Wounded. Unless I missed something.

>squad formation
Windscale
Kayree with assault rifle(we just upgraded them), basic plate, medkit
Qay with sniper rifle, agility frame, cold gear + bloodfire
Danovin with assault rifle, improved plate, cold gear

Sinthee in backup with LMG, mule armor, lmg ammo + medkit


>base duties
Zarah Bind the demon and turn either Noot or Cymdee into an Initiate.
The other one assist Lurleen.
Rockit can also assist Lurleen, for better item chance.
Fucc, ViiVeean investigate pee bandit.
Choose list: Unit 3, because it rhymes with pee

Squad:
-Windscale
-Kayree: Every time! Assault rifle, agility frame, trauma kit.
-Zarah: SMG. Guaranteed damage abilities, healing and she doesn't give a damn about the cold.
-Fucc: Assault rifle, improved plate carrier, scope. The scope both negates the Aim penalty outdoors and improves it indoors.
Reserve: Sinthee, lightning gun, mule armor, cold weather gear (in case it's needed to swap out).

Other activities:
Cymdee: Interrogate End Cultist
Noot: Interrogate Corpo Cultist
Vivii: Interrogate End cultist (or the kobold, who knows?)
Qay: Investigate the pee mystery, look into unit four no wait that's us. Uh, start with number 1.
Rockit: Work with Lurleen.
Does anyone need to be assigned to Frillbert between missions, i.e. Danovin?

1: Kayree on medic duty also giving our reserve C.Org exp (also she's a fluffy wolf, her natural terrain)
-Improved Plate Carrier, Trauma Kit
2: Windscale, gotta prove his worth (Main tank, high threat take down)
3: Danovan: needs the experience and could stand cooling off from his Rockit lust. (as V.I.P. babysitter)
-Energy Katana + Ballistic Shield, Agility Frame, Cold Weather Gear
4: Qay: needs to be deployed for real. (serve as sniper support)
-Sniper rifle, Mule armor, Scope, Cold weather gear, bloodfire
5(Reserve): Fucc: we probably won't need heavy support but it's nice to have an ace in the hole in case something unexpected show's it's face.
-Rocket Launcher, Rockets, Platecarrier

Yiann, Eilie and Baetriss can enjoy a nice nap.

Rockit can work with Cult of the End prisoner,
Viiveean can work with the Corporate Cultist prisoner
-the both have experience with respective forces

Sinthee can investigate pee bandit.

Zarah should train Noot or Cymdee
my pick is Cymdee first and Noot next time
Noot can assist Lurleen. then he can know a little more about Fucc's fears

Hmm, we'll probably need a couple of CFG's against the Coyotes that reflect damage? We'll also need to move fast, so I don't think bringing snipers or heavy weapons is a good choice.

Kayree
Arm: Improved Plate Carrier

Danovin -> Frilled Demon
Sinthee -> Lurleen
ViiVeean -> Mary
Zarah -> Initiate Noot
Rockit -> Pee mystery (unit 3)

I think using Retraining Camp on ViiVeean would be a good idea to then turn her into a 2nd Initiate. I don't like turning Cymdee into one because Cymdee has traits that fit a frontline tank / melee, not a magic caster.

Your team move through the gate.

Snow drifts gently past the windows of the warehouse your C.Orgs find themselves in. Several ordinary fox soldiers spot you, as well as some human captives. You are under no obligation to protect or rescue any of those captives. They're just random humans from another universe. Who cares? Do war crimes if you want. Nobody'll ever know!

>>1022817
Let's... not do war crimes. In fact why don't we snag a couple civvies to see what happens, if we have a good opportunity to.

Looks like a prior team breached the wall down there. Weird spot for a breach but whatever. Maybe the cargo containers were in different spots before. That's gonna be our exit because opening that warehouse door is gonna be a pain in the ass.

Alright everyone fucking leg it. Enemies are between us and the exit so we're gonna have to take them out on the way.
Kayree: Burst fire at the perched troop to debuff it, then move towards the cargo container that's currently in front of Windscale, to break line of sight.
Windscale: move down towards those two enemies at the bottom of the room, then use Hunting Prowess to detect if there's any other enemies in here.
Qay: move towards the lower side of that cargo container to use the corner as cover, and Lookout towards the forklift because that looks like a spot that the enemy will try to take cover at.
Danovin: Move down and into that nook in the bottom right if possible, to break line of sight with everything. If that's unreachable stick with Qay.

Windscale: Be a Dragon.
Fly upwards and roar the following.
"ATTENTION, MEWLING FOODSTUFFS AND WALKING DIRT. THIS FIEFDOM IS NOW UNDER THE DIVINE JURISDICTION OF MY INGLORIOUS SPLENDOUR. BY THE RIGHT OF INHERENT SUPERIORITY, THIS BEING HEREBY DECLARES TOTAL AUTHORITY OVER THE UNWORTHY SCRAPS OF THIS PATHETIC MICROBIAL TERRITORY YOU CALL A REICH.
DISOBEDIENCE WILL BE MET WITH THE POWER OF THE ATOM. NO EXCEPTIONS."
(In short, get the attention of everyone while Kayree and company quietly kill off the awestruck soldiers.)

Kayree: Roll your eyes, climb on top of the container (remember to go prone so you get some cover bonuses), and shoot the other combatant on the other container.
Qay: Facepalm, move to the container on your right, and take another shot at the container guy.
Danovin: Squint at your new narcissistic companion, move up to the container on your left, and attempt to fire with your capture foam.

Windscale: How fast is super fast? Head south and smash a soldier.
Danovin... is this a joke? Were you looking for the training room with that loadout? Whatever. Run around the first container and take cover behind the middle one, above the forklift.
Kayree: Climb up on the central container and shoot the soldier up on the containers.
Qay: Double move up towards the forklift.

Lets say that from up to down the containers lend 4 paths: A, B, C and D.

Kayre take cover in B and try to shoot the guard. Danovin and Windscale take cover in C and prepare to make a combined assault. Qay take cover in D and shoot to distract the guards.

Remember, move first shoot second.
Danovin, head up the top corridor towards the upper soldier. Qay, climb up the crate in front and lookout towards the top soldier. Kayree, climb up the container and burst fire at the far lower trooper. Windscale, attack the near lower trooper.

I am concerned that I made a bad decision in choosing Danovin and his loadout. There were votes for that loadout, but also for Cymdee to have the same loadout. I don't want a bad outcome based on a choice I made instead of a choice made by the suggesters.

I don't think Danovin is an unreasonable choice, and if Cymdee is selected, should she survive the mission, she would not be able to become an Initiate, which I believe I took into consideration when deciding which unit would fill the final slot.

Please Vote:
C to replace Danovin with Cymdee. This would also reallocate the Agility Frame to Qay, which is in-line with the suggestions for her loadout.
D to keep the squad composition as-is.

>>1023121
D. The suggestions for squad composition were all over the place, we'll have to make do with what we got. I think it'll work, Danovin will just wind up doing drive-bys on enemies as we go. Enemies that are far away and not in our way should be ignored anyway, because we won't really be able to kill them in a reasonable time span.

I don’t care who takes that slot, as long as they take a ranged weapon instead!

C) Cymdee without any armor should be tougher than Danovin with Agility frame, and Qay with Agility frame is tougher than without it. It's simply a better choice. And yeah, with CFG + Energy Katana.

D for Danovin
Cymdee has more natural armor yes, but she can be even MORE durable when we can afford to buy her armor to wear on top.
seems a waste to do that before we can afford that.

I have no objections to giving Danovin a ranged weapon, but I still think he'd be better with the sword

Whoever we pick, replace their sword with a 1h gun. We already have a giant melee specialist, now we just need to keep the trainee alive.

Kayree moves up to the corner of the nearby container and burst fires at the fox that's on top of a container. She hits! The fox is wounded. The fox has a penalty to hit!

"Move up!" she yells.

Windscale double moves and gets up to a fox. He effortlessly climbs over the containers in the way.

"YOU WILL ALL BE BURNED IN ATOMIC FIRE!" Windscale says.

Qay moves up to the corner of a container and looks out toward the forklift.

"I'm gonna fork somebody up!" Qay says.

Danovin double moves, staying out of line of sight.

"We got this," he says.

The top fox drops prone. He fires at Windscale and hits!

"Skeeyv! Kyff audrvan nask gyvn!" He yells into his radio.


The second fox moves toward the forklift and Qay fires! She hits! Most of his insides are now outsides and he slumps toward the ground.

The last fox moves away from Windscale and fires! He hits Windscale!

"Gke! Gke! Gkekeg!" he says.

The humans begin to panic and run screaming in random directions.

Reinforcements will arrive next turn.

Kayree finish off the Fox up top
Danovin sneak around back and use capture gun to take a fox pet (should probably do captures now before things get too dangerous
Windscale move up and be ready to dominate the next wave
Qay move up and maybe motion the innocents to stay out of the line of fire

anybody with extra actions move up , waves are endless here so we want to keep moving or risk getting overwhelmed

>>1023155
Seconded

Kayree: Burst fire at prone soldier, then sniff with animal senses. Are there hidden threats, reinforcements nearby, or most importantly, booby traps on the humans?
Windscale: Delete south fox.
Qay: Double move for door, use forklift for cover.
Danovin: If Kayree says it's safe, attempt to calm a civilian. Keep moving toward the entrance to the next room.

>>1023153
Danovin: move to the nearby enemy and CFG them. Having at least one captive is nice.
Qay: try to shoot the perched enemy. If not possible, move to the forklift and Lookout towards the opening in the wall.
Kayree: try your best to murder the perched enemy.
Windscale: secure the exit, use Lookout to ambush reinforcements.

Danovin move+CFG
Windscale move next to the forklift (gonna be throwing that next turn) and use Draconic Hunting Prowess
Kayree finish off the Fox and whatever

Kayree takes a shot at the hunkered down fox and hits! He is riddled with bullets!

Kayree uses Animal Senses! There are four foxes outside the gate, and the humans smell like explosives! Based on their behavior, they're probably unaware, however.

"The civilians are trapped!" Kayree yells.

Windscale moves up to the gate and goes on the lookout.

"IF YOU DO NOT YET FEAR ME, YOU SOON SHALL!" he bellows.

Qay moves up and goes on the Lookout toward the gate.

"Uh, that's fucked," says Qay.

Danovan moves up and uses the Capture Foam Gun on the remaining fox! He hits!

"Captive secured!" he says.

Your C.Orgs hear quiet sussurations coming from nowhere in particular, like the tail end of words they can almost make sense of ...

The gate slowly rises, revealing three foxes.

Qay takes a shot and misses!

Two of the foxes fire at Windscale and hit!

One fires at Qay and misses!

The foxes gekker wildly to one another.

Oh, that hole is halfway up the wall. We can't really use it as an exit, but we could shoot through it I guess.

Windscale, breathe on the group. Move beforehand to hit all three, if you need to.
Since that will kill them all, everyone else should double move towards the exit. Don't get close to civvies. Maybe even yell at them to keep their distance, because they're wired to blow.

Windscale melee, Qay shoot, Danovin reload and move, Kayree double move to Windscale

Looks like one of the Whisperwomen support units is debuffing your squad and buffing hers!

Danovin: Reload and fire the CFG at the civilian, before they get close enough for the foxes to detonate their bomb!
Windscale: Bite the nearby fox and pounce on / roar at the remainder!
Kayree: Nice work. Jump to the next container, then shoot anyone who Windscale spared.
Qay: Double move to the giant hole in the wall.

Everyone: avoid the civilians! Make sure they don't come near you.
Windscale: fox one! ...Oh, right. I mean, use your dragonbreath on the three soldiers.
Danovin: Can that hole in the wall be hopped through? If it's really high up, he has the agility frame.
Kayree, Qay, double move towards the warehouse doors.

In the interest of not having a big ol' tie I'll change my vote. We probably shouldn't scare off the windwhisper mage immediately, which annihilating the three enemies there with breath would probably do.
Windscale murder one of the upper enemies.
Qay move forwards and Lookout towards the gate enemies. I don't think the enemies at the gate are going to just stand there and let the dragon maul them, so this should result in a cheaper shot. Also I suspect the enemies there will prioritize shooting at Windscale so moving out of cover should be safe. Even if they take a shot at Qay she can take it. Actually, I think Qay can probably move to a spot where the lower enemy no longer has line of sight. Then she'd only be exposed to one of the upper enemies. The lower enemy might've only shot at Qay because they didn't have line of sight on Windscale, anyway.
Kayree double move towards the gate, there's still a bit of cover over there.
Danovin move towards the wall hole and reload the cfg. Gonna try to capture the mage next turn.

The Whisperwoman runs.

Your C.Orgs no longer hear faint voices.

Kayree scavenges ammo. Danovin reloads.

Do you want to trade out a unit before you advance? Units are now affected by Cold, and the street ahead seems well-defended.

>>1023221
I'd already drawn the update before I saw this, sorry.

Fucc, pass the rocket launcher to Danovin. We could use a big punch to break up a heavily fortified area.

Wasting a map-clearing ability on a couple of weak enemies when we haven't even gotten to Nakken Daisley...

No trade, go on.

Well, we don't have a breaching charge, and might need something like that to get inside the building the VIP is in.
Also the more firepower we bring to bear against this defense the better off we'll be in the long run.

So let's bring in Fucc, or at least give Danovin the rocket launcher (and ammo).

Fucc - The streets boast large open areas and hefty reinforcements. Melee skirmishers won't be as useful as rocket launchers.
General Strategy: Shoot the buildings to bring down rubble, keep reinforcements from swarming in!

Current units/loadout:
>>1022817

Detailed Rules:
https://pastebin.com/kzA3NyzV

You swap the rocket launcher and rockets to Danovan, and then continue.

The street opens up into a major connecting road with row houses lining both sides of the thoroughfare.

Kayree is affected by the cold. Her Aim and movement are lowered slightly

Windscale is immune to cold

Qay is protected from the cold

Danovan is affected by the cold. His Aim and movement are lowered slightly

Your C.Orgs hear quiet sussurations coming from nowhere in particular, like the tail end of words they can almost make sense of ...

Your C.Orgs can see an APC skid into position in the center of the street. A massive coyote steps out and begins to chant, holding his hands as if he is plucking invisible strings.

A deep, droning and wordless song vibrates through the chests of your C.Orgs ...

You recall that the coyotes can allegedly reflect damage back at the attackers.

Several foxes pour out as well, one manning the LMG in the roof-mounted turret of the vehicle.

Several foxes begin to emerge from the houses.

Several civilians panic and begin to run in random directions.

Reinforcements will continue to arrive. You must secure the VIP and evac to the portal.

Welcome back!

They're expecting a frontal assault.
We have a dragon.
Spend your turns climbing up the side of the building.

Don't worry squad, our skills are as sharp as they were a few seconds ago, I'm sure. There's no particular reason to mention this.
Kome has a point, actually. There's no easy cover to move up to. if Windscale could carry Danovin up to give us rocket launcher overwatch... be careful though, you don't want the damage of a rocket blast reflected at you all at once! Unless exploding would negate his ability to use that magic. Windscale could drop down and ice the guy in the alley afterward, securing our next foothold.
Qayree, Kay: Priority targets are the APC gunner and the enemy directly across the street. Full barrages.

>>1106118
Aw butts, damage reflection is up already. I guess we can't attack the Coyote this round. ...actually, that ability would be pretty bad if it only affected the caster. I'm betting the reflection affects nearby enemy units as well, which would mean we couldn't safely attack the APC. The effect said our entire team feels it, so it probably reflects the damage onto all our units. It would NORMALLY be a great idea to shoot a rocket at the APC but alas.

You know what, fuck shooting at all. I have a plan. Everyone grab onto Windscale. Windscale will climb up the warehouse this turn; our eventual goal is to move onto the top of the VIP's house, peek through the windows, and blast a hole through the roof in a safe spot so that we can avoid the street altogether. I'm sure Windscale will take some fire while peeking through the windows but we've got a medkit to recover that damage.
I'm guessing that our C.orgs will not be able to take actions as freely while hitching a ride so we probably can't have C.Orgs firing twice a turn while Windscale moves them around acting as cover for them... that would be so awesome though.

Windscale grabs Danovan and starts scaling the wall. Danovan has to hold on and can take no other action.

"TEE HEE HEE WE'LL GET THE DROP ON THEM," Windscale declaims loudly.

"Hey! Ow! Watch the claws!" says Danovan.

Kayree moves up and hugs the wall. She burst fires at the gunner and misses. The turret gunner's Aim is reduced.

"I'll get him next time," Kayree says.

Qay moves up. She's using a sniper rifle that takes 2 actions to fire, so she goes on the lookout toward the closest enemy.

Qay pats Kayree on the head.

The closest fox moves toward cover. Qay is on the lookout and fires! She hits! The enemy explodes in a spray of gore.

Your C.Orgs hear quiet sussurations coming from nowhere in particular, like the tail end of words they can almost make sense of ...

A deep, droning and wordless song vibrates through the chests of your C.Orgs ...

The coyote advances slowly, continuing the droning song.

The coyote plays a [b]power chord![/b[] A nearby civilian explodes in a literal fountain of gore as if squeezed by a giant invisible fist!

Kayree is unbothered.
Qay is moist, in her own lane. Kayree's presence prevents her from being shaken.
Windscale couldn't possibly care less in any possible world.
Danovan is too distracted to notice.

The new closest fox runs to the corner of the warehouse and goes on the lookout.

The turret gunner fires! She misses Qay and Kayree! Qay and Kayree take a penalty to Aim from the burst fire!

The fox behind the hood of the APC goes on the lookout.

Three foxes deploy from the APC. Two hunker down and one goes on the lookout toward the roof of the warehouse.

They mutter and mumble to one another in their bizarre fox language.

Kayree, keep up the burst fire on the turret gunner, volume of fire is the priority. Qay, prepare to snipe the coyote if Windscale doesn’t kill him, we’ll try to take him out before Danovan turns the rocket launcher on the APC. This might sting, sorry.
Windscale, scale the building with catlike tread and rad-breath the coyote. This might sting.
Danovan, clean up the clown car once the coyote is down. If you need to steady yourself first, just hunker down.

>Windscale loudly declares his actions
We need to discuss that later.

I don't like how the Coyote seems to be charging up something throughout his songs. We should stop him before he induces instant death. Even if the backlash injures our C.Org, fighting the APC, the support fire, and the coyote head-on would risk far more.

Windscale, finish climbing, take the brunt of the damage. If you can, hit the coyote and his kin with a nuclear blast. If not, drop Donovan off and continue moving until you drop down and land on those two foxes in the alley.
Danovin, fire a rocket launcher at the APC. Use your remaining action to retreat from the ledge so nobody can hit you.
Qay and Kayree, if Windscale manages to kill the enemies behind the alley, double-time it there.
Otherwise,
Qay, sniper shot at the APC or coyote if they're still alive, lookout if they're dead.
Kayree, hunker down and lookout.

Ah I guess we can't move everyone onto the roof at once.

Kayree: Hunker Down. Then Lookout towards the south reinforcements.
Windscale, finish climbing, put Danovin down at the edge of the roof.
Danovan: Aim and fire on the APC.
Qay: reload and Lookout towards the south where reinforcements are coming.

Shooting the singing coyote appears to be a priority. Can someone hit him without exposing too much?

So, the song keeps going even when the Coyote acts, so it's got a duration...
Man I can think of so many ways for this damage reflection to work. If it triggers per-hit then we don't want to use small arms fire and a rocket or breath weapon would be ideal. If it triggers instantly, as a percentage of damage, then there's no way to reduce it so we'd have to stop the song before attacking. If it's like a shield that absorbs damage and has to be activated to send the damage back at us then attacking only a couple of times to provoke the retaliation would be optimal, or killing the Coyote in one turn before it can retaliate.
I guess the breath attack covers every possibility except the instant percentage reflection, in which case it might kill our entire team.

I think the safest thing we can do is have Kayree fire a single shot at the Coyote to test what it does, and have the rest of the team act accordingly. If it instantly reflects the damage onto the entire team then we do not want to use a rocket or breath attack on the coyote! If it reflects towards the unit that dealt the damage then breath attack might actually be fine since the song affects our C.Orgs, not our dragon unit. Unless that's a universal term in this case? If Windscale is affected... well, it depends on if the reflection is the same "attack"; isn't Windscale immune to his own breath? Danovin would want to get clear before the attack in that case, as not to get plastered by the reflected breath cone.

So, modifying my orders:
Kayree: Fire a burst at the Coyote. Then Lookout towards the south reinforcements.
If the attack doesn't immediately provoke a retaliation then a breath attack is safe. If it's instant retaliation then we should not use breath on the Coyote unless Windscale is unaffected by the song. If the burst interrupts the coyote due to its suppression affect then that's great too and we can use breath.
If breath is safe:
Windscale, climb up so you have an angle on the APC group, then breath attack all of them. Priority on the Coyote.
Danovan: get off of Windscale if you can do it on your own, and move along the roof towards the VIP house.
Qay: reload and Lookout towards the south where reinforcements are coming.

if breath is NOT safe:
Windscale, climb up and put Danovan down at the edge of the roof so he's got a good angle on the APC.
Danovan: Aim and fire on the APC, trying not to hit the Coyote.
Qay: reload and Lookout towards the south where reinforcements are coming.
