You charter a seat on a shuttle bound for Clan Night-Prowler territory and disembark at their space port.

You make your way to their armory building and are stopped immediately by a pair of Night-Prowler guards.

"Halt!" one of them barks. "This is Night-Prowler only territory. You have no business here."

How do you respond?

A: "I am here under permission from your Matriarch."
B. "Your matriarch owes me a debt of honor. I am here to collect."
C. "Is this how the Night-Prowler greets its guests? Check with your matriarch. I have every reason to be here."

"I am here under permission from your Matriarch," you answer.

"At ease. He is expected," a voice booms over the intercom.

The guards part, and allow you in. You are greeted by the Night-Prowler quarter master, an ancient-looking female, who escorts you in.

She looks you over. "Well, here you are. The first outsider to grace my armory in decades."
She points to an arms locker by the entrance. "Leave your gear by the door."

Do you:

A. Do as she asks and stash your gear into the locker.

You remove your gear and stack them neatly into the arms locker. She gestures you to follow.

"Here are the rules. You will take what you need, and leave. You will not take more than what you can carry. You will not give this gear to anyone else in your clan. Now, go, and return to me once you have made your selections. "

With that, she bids you to enter the armory.

You enter, and take a brief tour around the area, and decide most of the Night-Prowler gear is inferior or equal to your own, aside from two major categories.

Do you examine their:

A. Light armors
B. Vision masks
C. Spear guns

>>24778351

>A. Light armors
I'd really like to see if it incorporates better stealth tech.

>>24778351
>B. Vision masks
Let's see what can we see.

>>24778370
>>24778381

You examine their vision masks. Two particular models take your interest. Both are on par with your current mask in terms of processing speed, range, and scanning power.

But the first contains a built-in holographic emitter which allows you to project a realistic 3d holographic model of your choosing anywhere within 50 meters of yourself, provided there is a clear line of sight for the mask to fire its beam.

The second model contains a built-in stealth field emitter which allows you to cloak any object similar in size to yourself within 50 meters of you.

Do you:

A. Take the mask with the holographic emitter
B. Take the mask with the stealth emitter
C. Take neither

>>24778487
>A. Take the mask with the holographic emitter
Just too useful.

>>24778487
>A. Take the mask with the holographic emitter
Being able to create decoys is a great thing.
Also false walls and false floors covering pit traps.

>>24778487
A that is just way to useful to pass up especially a clever opredator like our self.

>>24778487

>>24778487
>A. Take the mask with the holographic emitter

Both tempting, like, wow. Hard choice.

>>24778487

>>24778487
>A. Take the mask with the holographic emitter
2sneaky

>>24778499
>>24778521
>A. Take the mask with the holographic emitter

You take the mask with the holographic emitter and place it over your face. You test out the holographic systems by first creating a decoy of yourself standing next to you. It seems to work flawlessly.

What war gear should you examine next?

A. Light armors
B. Spear guns

>>24778351
>You will not take more than what you can carry.

>>24778632
No, we can take as much as we carry, but most of it has no use for us.

>>24778568
>>A. Light armors

You examine several pieces of light armor, and two catch your attention.

One piece of light armor boasts a stealth system which draws almost no power when active, and can achieve levels of stealth similar to what you currently have. But the armor is marked as prototype, and is not yet field tested.

The other light armor boasts an on-board scrambling system which constantly intercepts incoming radar and EM beams and jams them to makes the wearer almost invisible to most scanners, human or otherwise.

Do you choose:

A. The super-efficient stealth suit
B. The jammer suit

>>24778700
>B. The jammer suit

Dodging scanners is going to be more useful against humans that mega-efficient cloaking.

>>24778700
B
We haven't had problems with energy so far.

>>24778700
Oooh, B. That should help against hard meat too, right?

>>24778700
B
jammer armor we can just use regular stealth tech not to mention its still experimental. Getting it fixed would be a bitch due to their clan being our enemies.

>>24778700
>B. The jammer suit
Energy hasn't been a problem and we have the backup battery in case it does.

>>24778700
B They really have some fun stuff here don't they?

we need to remember to praise the armorer for her skill before we leave. Maybe offer her a gift of gratitude from our old kit before we head back.

>>24778783
That gear isn't ours to give though. I was thinking of reserving one of our trophies to give to this quartermaster to smooth our the bumps a little but it's a bit late for that.

>>24778700
B. more guaranteed to be useful.

>>24778732
>>24778736

You take the jammer suit off its rack and put it on. It links instantly to your wrist-computer and a host of options begin to scroll across the holo-screen.

For the most part, the jamming sequence seems to be automatic, but you're able to fine-tune it to be effective against particular spectrums, such as radar, lidar, particle scanners, and E/M scanners.

You're not certain if this can be used to spoof hard-meat vision, but perhaps you can ask your own quarter master to take a look and offer some suggestions.

Next, you move on to the spearguns.

Two models strike your fancy.

The first has a built-in magnetic beam along which the projectile "rides". With this, you're able to guide the munition mid-flight, and make extremely accurate shots even against moving targets.

The second model contains an attachment for a zipline, which allows you to attach a strong tether to the next projectile. With it, you're able to use the speargun as a grapple gun or even a harpoon gun.

Do you choose to take:

A. The magnetic-guiding speargun
B. The tether projectile speargun
C. Neither

>>24778700
A

Prototype tech = We could be THE BEST

>>24778833
A
we can shoot around corners and more.

>>24778833
B

Mobility is too important to pass up.

>>24778833

B perfect to use to get to hard to reach areas, use to set up ambushes, and to capture prey

>>24778783
>same guy
i thought of just the thing. our current speargun and recordings of fis and us killing on with it. Our second most feared prey to date and this weapon carries the honor of the kill.

>>24778833
>B. The tether projectile speargun
Thats some batman shit right there.

>>24778833
B
No bridges? Can't jump over the chasm? No problem!

>>24778833
B

We need the Harpoon to get back at the Fis

>>24778833
B We can probably use that to get in to places we normally couldn't get to.

>>24778833
B

>>24778889
>>24778883
>>24778880
>>B. The tether projectile speargun

You take the tether projectile speargun from its rack and rest it against your shoulder. The switch to attach the tether to the chambered shot is easy to access and quick to flip. It sits close enough to the handle that you're able to do it one-handed if need be.

You take the three pieces wargear and bring them to the Night-Prowler quarter master.

She eyes you and your gear with suspicion.

"Very well. I don't like it, but what can I do? Take it. Night-Prowler has plenty more in stock. When you make your next kill, remember which clan provided the tools."

With that, she bids you to leave. You collect your old gear from the arms locker and take the shuttle back to Cloud-Viper territory.

Do you:

A. Visit the space port and examine your new ship.
B. Visit the training grounds receive infiltration lessons from your mentor.
C. Visit the Cloud-Viper armory

>A. Visit the space port and examine your new ship.

You make your way to the space port and ask the port-master to show you to your docking bay. You enter the code given to you by the ship master. The hangar doors slowly open to reveal a large ship - several times larger than your previous one.

You immediately notice the two large plasma cannons jutting out from the prow. Four more pop-up plasma turrets are arrayed along its back.

You walk around to its rear and find the entry ramp to be open. You enter, and find a copy of the ship's layout left for you by the ship master. You upload them to your wrist computer.

The ship has 3 decks. You are currently on deck 3.

Do you:

A. Examine the exterior
B. Continue to examine the interior

>>24779139

(OP's note: So, I drafted a 2D version of the ship in CAD, to scale, with accurate dimensions. See attached picture. The idea is, you guys ask questions, like how long is the ship, what's that thing, how thick is the armor, etc, and I'll dimension/explain it for you. All units are in meters.)

You walk to the exterior of the ship and take a tour around while comparing it to your blueprint.

This is what you see.

>>24779251
most likely because we picked the smallest possible ship as our first, and dad was a well respected hunter (maybe an elite?)

>>24779272

>>24779356
Maximum speed:
Mach 12 in atmosphere.
0.22 C in vacuum.

Gun Effective range:

120 km in atmosphere
4400 km in vacuum.

Gun yield:

1.4 Megatons per gun, per shot.
4 shots per minute.

Cloaking System:

- Slower to cloak than our previous ship.
- Capable of cloaking near-indefinitely when staying still, but less effective when moving compared to our previous ship.
- Large enough power-plant to sustain 24 hours of flight under cloak.
- Can cloak in water.

>>24779407
anychance we can invest in a separate reactor or powersource for the cloaking systems, we've got one for the guns already, it would be a worthy upgrade

>>24779326

Guns are exposed and relatively thin-armored due to heat dissipation requirements, but the engines are covered in thick ablative armor.

>>24779460
is there a way we could bring the guns inboard when we dont need them? or are they too big and rigid mounted to the hull?

"Very good. 'The Phantom Hammer' it is."

She thumbs through several pages on her holo screen and comes across a large spreadsheet.

"There are still some funds left over from the renovation effort, and the Executrix has asked them to be transferred straight to your account. The sum totals 72000 credits. I am transferring them to you now."

(You now have 74000 credits in your account).

"I would suggest you seek out some technicians at the market to take a look at your new ship." She takes a look at the praetorian mouth. "Well, because this is such a nice gift, I'll have it arranged for your sensor systems to be upgraded, free of charge."

You thank her, and bid her farewell.

Do you:


A. Visit the training grounds receive infiltration lessons from your mentor.
B. Visit the Cloud-Viper armory

>>24779982
Also"

C. Visit the market

>>24779982
B. Let's see what we got in da armory.

>>24779982
>B. Visit the Cloud-Viper armory

>>24779982
C. lets go shopping

>>24779982
B. Visit the Cloud-Viper armory.
Hopefully they updated their stuff since last time

>>24779982
b

>>24779982
B Also hot damn we not only smoothed things over with our trophy but we got a free sensor upgrade out of it.

>>24779982
>B. Visit the Cloud-Viper armory

Lets get fully suited up, then on to training.

>>24779982
A. Time to begin our instruction in the ways of true stealth

>>24779982
B: Armory, why buy stuff which could be free to us in the armory.

>>24779982
B. lets get kitted up before we go shopping for a reactor to power our ships stealth systems

>>24780018
Well, we did kill a queen with her ship... the whole clan is gunna know about that

>>24780036
If anything, we should name the old ship "Roadkiller".

>>24779982
B

>>24780047
Serpent Burner.

>>24780003
>>24779999
>>B. Visit the Cloud-Viper armory

You head over to the Cloud-Viper armory and greet the quartermaster. You present her with the drone tail, as a gift. She accepts it gratefully.

"Well, now, good to see you back in one piece, Three-Claw. I assume it was a... productive first hunt? How did the customized plasma-caster perform? Did you get much use out of it?"

Do you answer:

A. Yes, it performed excellently, beyond my expectations.
B. It performed well enough.
C. It did not quite reach my expectations.

>>24780064
>A. Yes, it performed excellently, beyond my expectations.

We toasted all of the everything with it.

>>24780064
>A. Yes, it performed excellently, beyond my expectations.

A. Yes, it performed excellently, beyond my expectations.
This thing is awesome!

>>24780064
A. We gotta lay it on.

>>24780064
A, that thing's saved our asses multiple times on one mission alone. I predict it will continue to do so for many many years.

>>24780064
A "It killed anything I pointed it at except for the queen, that eventually had to be rammed to kill it."

>>24780064
A Seriously that thing saved our bacon more then once and I wouldn't want to go into a battle without it.

>>24780072
>>A

"Yes, it performed excellently, beyond my expectations," you inform her.

She glances at your newly acquired gear.

"That's new. Not Cloud-Viper war gear that's for certain. Where did you get it?"

Answer:

A. Tell her it's from the Night-Prowlers. Explain the honor debt.
B. Tell her it's from another clan, as part of an honor debt.
C. Tell her it's a long story.

>>24780064
That thing purged EVERYTHING. Seriously, it was our FUCK YOU button, it murdered the shit out of things.

>>24780122
>A. Tell her it's from the Night-Prowlers. Explain the honor debt.

>>24780122
A would be the most honorable thing, but the Night Rangers and our clan have a bad history.

I think it's more prudent to say B.

>>24780122
B its more prudent thanks to the bad history between clans.

>>24780122
>A. Tell her it's from the Night-Prowlers. Explain the honor debt.

She might be a bit mad about us using another Clan's gear, but I guarantee they are twice as mad, which makes it worth it.

>>24780122
A, gotta be up front with the lady providing our gear.

>>24780122
A. Their matriarch claimed I was a liar when I presented my story, our matriarch baited a trap and we had jackal bring the queens carcass right into the room in front of her. I could have challenged her to make her feel greater shame, but politics is not my arena - I prefer the hunt

>A would be the most honorable thing, but the Night Rangers and our clan have a bad history.
Well not picking A would kinda perpetuate that.

Were not allowed to give the equipment to anyone else, but I suppose we could explain it to our quartermaster and give her some ideas.

>>24780122
>B. Tell her it's from another clan, as part of an honor debt.

No need to mention the Night-Dipshits specifically.

>>24780122
A) "Night-prowlers insulted my honor at the moot and were proven wrong, they paid the debt with this."

>>24780163
You are probably right. And I think when we return from the next fantastic voyage we need to give the Night Ranger's QM a little gift. Mend the fences, bury the hatchet, etc.

>>24780180
Well that sounds nice in theory but is it really our place to play diplomat?

>>24780135
>>24780160
>>24780161
>>24780157
>>A. Tell her it's from the Night-Prowlers. Explain the honor debt.

You explain what transpired at the moot and how you ended up claiming what you were owed in the honor debt. The quartermaster listens with amusement.

"Night-Prowlers. Well, I never liked them much, and I'd imagine they're in a sour mood right about now."

She eyes you shrewdly.

"Well, regardless, that's an interesting set of war gear. You don't suppose I could take a brief look at them?"

Do you answer:

A. "Yes, go ahead. I shouldn't give them away, but I never said I wouldn't let others examine them."
B. "Apologies, Quartermaster, but I shouldn't. It would be against the spirit of what I agreed with the Night-Prowlers."

>>24780198
Diplomacy, no. But the fewer people we have hating our guts the better. Making amends for past transgressions at a frontline level is the most important part of any healing process.

The clans need to be united, or at least not fighting as much. Having a couple of friendlies in the opposition is always good.

>>24780219
Hmm...

>>24780219
B. We do not need any more bad blood developing.

>>24780219
A, what the NP's don't know won't hurt 'em.

>>24780219
>B. "Apologies, Quartermaster, but I shouldn't. It would be against the spirit of what I agreed with the Night-Prowlers."

Night-Prowler would just LOVE an excuse to get back at us, I'm sure.

>>24780219
B. I am sorry quartermaster, I seek to end the bad blood between our clans - ask them with respect and honor

>>24780131
Like when it killed 5/4 attacking flying drones?

>>24780255
The other anon's make a good point, I'm switching to B as well.

>>24780219
A.

>>24780219
>B. "Apologies, Quartermaster, but I shouldn't. It would be against the spirit of what I agreed with the Night-Prowlers."

Inter-clan conflicts help nobody, and if they got wind of us going against the spirit of the agreement they would probably raise a stink over it.

>>24780219
>A. "Yes, go ahead. I shouldn't give them away, but I never said I wouldn't let others examine them."
He's right.

> Night Ranger, man. Night. Ranger.

We have a tie.

Need a breaker; anyone?

>>24780299
B

B

But we can still tell her what they do can't we?

>>24780299

1 A, 2 B.

Rolled 2

>>24780319

Wrong field.

>>24780287
The last thing we need is the Night Rangers finding out. And with the name "Prowler", I guess they might be sneaky mofos. So I'd rather not risk them finding out.

Besides, we can examine them when we are off-planet.

>>24780219
A

>>24780299
A

OP, thank you so much for incorporating (or planting them...) our desires to have a projected hologram and spectrum resistant armor.

>>24780299

B!

We said we wouldn't reverse tech!

>>24780299
A

>>24780311
>>24780302
>>24780266
B.

"Apologies, Quartermaster, but I shouldn't. It would be against the spirit of what I agreed with the Night-Prowlers," you tell her.

She gestures in acknowledgement. "I understand, and I hope they'll serve you well."

She takes the drone tail and examines it.

"Quite an excellent specimen. Well, we can't have you leave empty handed. As it happens, I have several pieces of new, custom gear, which I've been keeping to myself. Come, take a look."

She leads you deeper into the armory and gestures towards two storage rooms.

"I have some custom ammunition and a few prototype tips for your combi-stick. Take your pick."

Do you first visit:

A. Customized munitions
B. Combi-stick tip attachments

>>24780370

Damnit man! We made a promise not to steal any of their tech secrets!

>>24780378
>B. Combi-stick tip attachments

>>24780378
B, anything that makes our stick deadlier is a good thing.

>>24780378
B

>>24780378
Oh damn. Nice.

Let's check out the shtick tips. We already got a cool piece, but more could make it versatile.

>>24780378
A

>>24780378
Honor is in melee combat. B

209 KB JPG

>>24780378
IS IT COMBI NAGINATA TIME?

B, the only "ammo" we use at all is our speargun and mine dispenser. And we already have a special speargun mode.

Since we got some new gear do we have to return the old stuff back to the armoury?

>>24780378
>B. Combi-stick tip attachments

We need some special melee swag.

>>24780389
>>B. Combi-stick tip attachments

She shows you several attachments which fit over your combi-stick's blades.

She asks you to choose one.

A. Expando tip - This tip violently expands via high pressurized plasma to release a large amount of heat and force within the victim.
B. Electro-tip - This tip releases a large electric shock when triggered, and can bring down even the largest beasts.
C. Extended Blade - This tip allows the extension of a half meter long mono-mo blade to increase the reach and length of your combi-stick.

>>24780433
special munitions might include special plasma caster shots, right?

>>24780465
A, so very A.

>>24780465
All cool choices.

B

>>24780465
B won't serve us well when we go back to take on the Fis.
C, extension is always good, but length won't help us in combat.

A works.

>>24780465
A
considering how tough them mutant serpents are on Pandora.

>>24780465
A

>>24780468
Plasma Casters only run off suit energy afaik.

>>24780465
All of those choices are super cool, but I gotta go with A.

>>24780479
>>24780482
>>A. Expando tip - This tip violently expands via high pressurized plasma to release a large amount of heat and force within the victim.

You take the expando-tip and the trigger mechanism and fit it over your combi-stick. The quarter master shows you how to activate it, and you're satisfied with how it operates.

You move on to the specialized munitions.

The quartermaster shows you several choices for speargun projectiles, and asks you to select one to be stockpiled aboard your ship.

A. Explosive spears - small spears which detonate with a concentrated plasma explosion on contact.
B. Armor-piercing spears - highly dense spears designed to penetrate the thickest armor.
C. Tracking spears - light-weight and thin spears which relay its position directly to your mask system, allowing you to track prey across long distances.

>>24780542
>C. Tracking spears - light-weight and thin spears which relay its position directly to your mask system, allowing you to track prey across long distances.

We've got the Blastomatic for taking out heavy targets. Lets go for the utility on this one.

>>24780542
All are so fun and wonderful.

But B will serve well for taking down Xenomorphs. A would just blow them up. C is a neat trick, but it's better to take prey down quickly.

>>24780542
C

but B is very tempting.

>>24780542
B

>>24780542
B our primary goal isn't hunting at the moment otherwise I would so choose C.

>>24780542
>C. Tracking spears - light-weight and thin spears which relay its position directly to your mask system, allowing you to track prey across long distances.

We've got the Fuck You Plasmacaster for the 'ard stuff.

Looks like we've got a tie.

Need a breaker.

>>24780542
The scoped spear gun didn't get much usage because it couldn't hurt hard targets. It's stealthier than our plasma caster.

B

>>24780594
C

>>24780594
I vote B.

Oooh, that's a tough choice. I'm gonna go with B because our plasma caster isn't very subtle and can't be used underwater.

It's not really our style but I hope we can try out some of the other classic weapons in the armoury like the plasma pistol.

>>24780542
B Tough call though they all seem like good choices.

>>24780465
A. Hopefully the victim will still leave a trophy for us.

>>24780594
C, spears are quite capable of bleeding prey over great lengths of time and are great for allowing you to track things down.

>>24780610
>>B. Armor-piercing spears - highly dense spears designed to penetrate the thickest armor.

You choose the armor piercing spear. The quartermaster acknowledges, and arranges delivery to have them delivered to your stockpile.

You thank her, and bid her farewell.

END of episode 14.

Thanks for playing everyone! It was a light session.

See you next time!

>>24780542
>B.
We've got the caster for mobs, now we need something with more punch in case we come up against something armored to the level of that queen

>>24780641
Guys, we seriously need to visit our mentor next session.

>>24780675
That's probably the first thing we will do next session.

>>24780715
that or go shopping

>>24780675
>>24780715
>>24780853
While I think it made sense to visit the armory for stealth-related improvements before going through infiltration training, I think we might do well to learn from that training before visiting the market.

Also, I think we ought to spend at least some of that 72000 credits on enhancements to the ship, not personal equipment.

>>24781349
>ship, not personal equipment.
totally, and getting our gear before training lets us train with and without our gear if we want to

While we're meeting with our mentor, we also ought to get some advice about how to live through our gift to the Archivist.

>>24781392
>gift to the Archivist
we aint leaving for our next hunt without taking her up on her offer, and now we have a ship with a proper medbay we don't have to be scared, just scarred

>>24781412
Agreed, but advice would still be welcome, so that we might get the most out of it and not be scarred either physically or mentally by the experience.

>>24780675
We should also ask him to help prep us with how to lead a team. Infiltration is one thing, but it'll mean bugger all if a newbie trips over a mine or blows wind at the wrong moment.

>>24781412
>we don't have to be scared, just scarred
Heh.

>>24782630
>lead a team
hehe, just had the mental image of us forgetting we're leading a team and being so stealthy our team loses and cant find us
