You quickly descend, without the theatrics, to see if either are hurt. Thankfully the pair seem more dazed than injured, so you start slapping Joanir for being so stupid.

"Owa! Owa! Ba nar degin?!"

"Where the hell even are we? Is this the dungeon?"

"No. Seem deeper I think. Dunna have that smell of sad and shit like a proper dungeon."

"It may be an abandoned section of a previous structure the fort builders had paved over. Ruins do get buried fast in the wastelands after all."

You stop punishing Joanir to look up. You appear to be in a dark chamber, the dim light of the surface feels like a blazing torch illuminating this sort of dark. At the edges you see a glint of metal.

"This isn't natural. These things are...weapons? Not ore. The metal is shaped. And it's piled against the wall..."

You restrain the Gormoamhi. She flails and strikes out, but the dog-pile(no pun intended) keeps her immobilized. When she's finally worn out, you bind the huntress.

The camp is roused by all the noise, and you make sure that prisoner is tied up real secure! Last thing the caravan needs is fighting an entire nest of those things.

The rest of you in the meantime head into the caves. If only for safety's sake. Surprisingly you don't find much. Normally Gormoamhi have their little hidey-roads they litter with stuff they thing is trash. And most of it is trash but you can get lucky...

And it looks like you found a Gormoamhi youth! More than that, it's a male! Hard to say if this is a good thing or a bad thing. The Gormoamhi don't let the young ones leave the nest, and the males are never allowed to stay on their own. He darks back into hiding when you make eye contact, but freezes up when you round the corner.

The next day the caravan breaks camp and leaves, storm be damned. Progress is good, and you are expected to reach your destination by midday.

Then you see smoke on the horizon, the black clouds disappearing into the gray murky sky. Scouts move ahead, and you find out just why the colony hasn't been sending any runners. It is indeed undersiege, but the besieger is something beyond your worst expectations.

It's a godsdamned Fire Jotna. And it's dropping an army of Ash Valkyn into the colony!

>There's no way you're breaking the siege with what you have. You'll need to go around that army.

>Go through the cistern. The Valkyn don't seem to be watching it.
>Breach the southern gate. It will be lightly defended as the Valkyn stay close to the Jotna.
>Search for a secret entrance in the crypt. There's always a secret entrance.

>>1071477
Just keep your caravan in motion and give the prisoners permission to do the dirty to relieve tension.

>>1071478
Hm. What do you know about the Fire Jotna's logistical needs? If they require a specific diet you might stand a chance to simply cut their supply lines and starve the titan out.
It's strange. The Jotna could clearly purge this fortress with a single stomp. Who is holding them back and why?
Use the crypt. You may as well help yourself to a little bonus, seeing as your employers forgot to mention the 200-ft tall lava elemental spewing fire succubae everywhere.

Go for the cistern. Staying close to water is a good idea when a fire titan is near.

You opt for the cistern. Given the state of the siege, no one else opts for the other options. The water is surprisingly clean, so you aren't wading through reeking filth. Just tepid rain water, which itself is still unpleasant for its own reasons. The grate comes apart in Joanir's hands, and you slide into the slimy tunnel one by one.

"The hells is THIS?!"

The cistern lead into what looks like a maze of tunnels, floors and staircases. And that's not including the tunnel bored into the side of the closest wall.

"There's a whole godsdamned city down 'ere!"

"Oh hir galu bat. Zein bitxia."

[Esoteric Test Passed]
"These are the wastes. Entire civilizations are lost to the muck. And the most solid foundations for a new township is on top of the ruins of an old one."

"Well where are we supposed to go then?"

"Split up. Tunnel leads down, but possibly enemy sappers. If so, it is the fastest way into the city. Otherwise, we try our luck with the maze. Split ensures at least on group makes it to the city before the siege is over."

Sound idea. The bunnies(not sure if you're allowed to call them that) are arguing with each other again. You may know western languages, but not at their speed! It sounds like gibberish. Looks like you're the deciding vote again. But which side will you go down?

>The dug out tunnel that looks suspiciously well lit
>The dark stone passage that is ominous and dark.

Given it's a siege, we'd best try to navigate around the sappers. Go for the maze.

After more arguing, some of which was actual words instead of angry daoine noise you could not follow, it was decided you'd brave the maze. Which itself was a challenge of patience and Balboran's tolerance for his partners' antics.

[Esoteric Test passed]
As Balboran had said, this place feels like it may have once been a palace or a fortress. A shame that it is now made to move literal shit out of the city above. Between you and Balby(He asked you never to call him that again), you manage to destermine the route out of this twisting collection of aging tunnels, crumbling hallways, and passages filled with algae, muck, and things you don't want to name. You find your way...

...to what looks to be an altar. The bloodstains and Valkyn bodies, a fight had erupted here recently, possibly in the last couple of days. Among the non-plantperson corpses, you find a large tome, embossed in silver and odd lettering.
[Esoteric Test Passed]
While you can't make out the language, you recognize this as one of a collection of tomes from an ancient era, the ones that told how to split the veil between this world and another. And how to bring visitors from that side to this one
[Tactical Test Passed]
Given the state of the bodies and how the blood seems to converge at the nexus point of the summoning altar, you opt to not take the book.

Also there is a crystal the visitor left behind. Likely a token of thanks for feeding it.

[Esoteric Test Passed]
It's not. But it's valuable nonetheless and harmless on its own so you all agree to take it

There's a passage that leads further up. The light implies you may be near the surface. As you approach the mouth, you hear the sounds of battle...

It seems a warband of Valkyn had used this passage to infiltrate the inner city already, and its surprised defenders are fighting to keep them hemmed in! With your help, you might just turn this stalemate around!

Balboran, the hand cannoneer is a valuable asset. Give him the special brew if he karks it.
Viyasda, get in the opening shot while their backs are to us.
Norberg, assist the gatar against the wounded valkyr before we lose another one.
Jiang Qi, these valkyr may be fire resistant but some weedkiller to the eye slots should still sting!

Jiang Qi and Balboran should carefully apply the War Vial, then charge in to flank.
Viyasda, the one in the doorway has their back turned. End them. Then throw a smoke next to the two allies so you can all disengage from the polearm and retreat to safe distance.
Everyone else, swarm and flank the nearby enemy engaging the lone ally.

Okay here we go
BBB Errata:
DICE!
Blitzed Bunnies will now roll dice for tests so there's less confusion about what to do. Or maybe there will be more. But when in doubt, roll dice and something should happen.

Stat dice:
In and out of combat, everything still relies on character stats. It's just different now. Everything is done with d10
When a character is performing any test/attack/action that uses their stats, you need to roll. The difficulty determines how many dice you roll, and what 'success target' you need. The wider the gap in your favor, the more dice you roll. Conversely, the higher their stat is to yours, you still get more dice...but your success target is higher.

Example:
Joanir is about to smack this plant girl in the face. Her Combat stat is 7, his base is 8, but with the bonus gained from the armory way back when, it is now 9. That means he gets 2 bonus dice atop his baseline 1. And as he holds advantage, that means his success target is also lowered from the baseline 5.

rolled 3, 9, 3 = 15

Let's put that in action. Joanir swings his club. 3 d10 with a target of 3 or higher...

File 171158085201.png - (0.96MB , 2000x2000 , 47.png )

rolled 2, 5, 10 = 17

---

3 Successes! However he only needed 1 so it's a hit. The extra successes are simply bonus damage! The Valkyn is reeling! The one behind now has an opening!

Because of the difference in power, the second Valkyn has disadvantage. That means it'll get 3 dice to attack Joanir, but now it needs 7 or higher to hit, and worse! It needs 2 successes! The second Valkyn swings its charcoal-sword thing!

Baron 2024/03/27(Wed)16:13 No. 1087270 ID: 7a1a17
File 171158118734.png - (937.33KB , 2000x2000 , 48.png )

10! A CRITICAL SUCCESS!

And had the Valkyn scored 1 more success that would have accomplished some major hurt on the Utaqi. But Joanir's combat stat prevails, and takes it on his weapon!

Extra notes:
-Baseline is 5 for success if the stats evenly match
-Items can be used to give bonus dice in the future
-If you score more than the needed number of successes, you can bank Critical Success(10)s, but not regular successes, and use them later to trigger character abilities, or replace failed rolls in the future. This should help compensate for unlucky rolls and keep ability spam down.

Okay. This was a free combat round to demostrate the new system. So enemies and allies don't take action.

ERRATA OVER! GAME RESUME!

There are now 3 Valkyn in play!

The jotna ponders its existence and how flammable the planet is.


(For real though, I need more specific action and some dice)

Joanir - Keep wailing on the isolated target, disengage if one flanks
Viyasda - Vanish again, prepare to backstab whichever Valkyn looks like the leader
Norberg - Spend a turn defending the gunner
Jiang Qi - Finish the downed Valkyn off
Balboran - Check for survivors, heal them if you can

>>1087602
For real though, you still haven't given us a list of specific actions. Telling everyone to 'attack' over and over is redundant.

>>1087611
(I'll give you that. But I was looking for more specifics. Actions are context sensitive. Like an action for two characters can be something like "Balboran and Jiang Qi pick up the carpet and use it to catch a charging valkyn". That's a tactical decision, and I'd roll the combined tactical score.

Or maybe Jiang Qi throws out a firecracker to distract the Valkyn and blind them. That's an esoteric roll. If you think a character can do it, then you can use it.)

Fine
Joanir pommels the Valkyn's midsection from below, and follows up with a heaving throw using his mace as a lever.
Viyasda vanishes, clinging to the ceiling so she can assassinate whichever Valkyn splits up next.
Norberg protects the mercenaries from any surprise attacks, giving them a moment to catch their breath and reload
Balboran checks the bodies of the other dead mercenaries. If they can't be revived, he'll scavenge their weapons and try to come up with something.
Jiang Qi throws that firecracker (if in Esoteric Stance) or and stabs any downed Valkyn in a fatal area while everyone is distracted (If in Battle stance). Has she taken the war vial yet?
