Rifts Magic Zone Assets

Rifts magic users can control assets to augment their powers.
PPE Assets generate passive ppe which can be converted into credits if used as a powersource for say a city, or for rituals or spells cast by the mage connected to his network of assets.  To connect to the network the mage must assert his assets through his lifestyle's home command center and command and control network if using remote assets.

Knight Malphas

Knight Malphas the 5th Level Gallu Bull Demon

Vane sends Malphas to duel Towjam.  It is destroyed and sent back to hell in ep 140

Here is Vane's struggle to regain control over it and drag it back from hell to pay for daring not perform his will correctly the first time.

"The Roll

• Vane's Willpower Roll: 14 (Base) + 3 (Shifter Summoning Mastery Modifier) = 17

• Demon Bull's Resistance Roll: 11 (Base) + 4 (Infernal Rage Modifier) = 15

The Outcome: Success (Barely)

The psychic tether of the Magic Pigeon sparks violently, turning from a soft blue to a blinding, electric white. The Demon Bull let out a subterranean roar that shatters every glass vial in Vane’s workshop, its massive brass hooves skidding across the threshold of the rift.

For a terrifying second, the balance tips toward the pit. But Vane digs deep, channeling that extra reserve of P.P.E. The cosmic law of the Shifter binds tight. With a sickening crack of planar displacement, the demon is yanked entirely through the portal, crashing hard onto the blood-stained chalk lines of the summoning circle.

The rift snaps shut behind it with an implosive pop, leaving the room in sudden, heavy silence—save for the heavy, sulfurous breathing of the beast.

The Demon Bull glares up at Vane, its eyes smoldering like dying coals. It is bound back to Vane's will... for now. But it is nursing a massive grudge, and it will be watching for the absolute slimmest slip in focus to test those chains again."

Alignment: Miscreant (bound to Vane's will, but inherently cruel)

Damage: 4d6 M.D. + P.S. Bonus + If on ley line onhit Ley Line Time Flux for 25 minutes for 80ppe

Effect: The caster can choose to slow down time or speed it up. "Slow" Effect: A "Nausea" spell (Level 8) acts as a slow mechanism, reducing movement to half and imposing penalties (-6 to strike, parry, dodge) due to vomiting.

On a successful strike, the target must save vs. Magic (13+). If they fail, the local gravity around their body intensifies tenfold for 1d4 rounds. Reduce Spd and number of attacks per melee by half.

Mace can only trigger this effect three times per melee round.  Cannot be carried by anyone but Malphas and sinks into the ground if he is parted from it or banished from this dimension.

138 INTO VANELAND

3 rat elders, 3 rat robo vehicles, and 10 rat cargo containers on wheels towed by one of the robos come into the FADE TOWN of VANELAND.

Deep within the overgrown ruins of the Indiana "Hoosier" National Forest, the air occasionally thrums with a low-frequency hum that vibrates the teeth. When the ley lines surge, the mist parts to reveal Vaneland, a "fadetown" that exists only when the dimensional fabric is thin enough to tear.

The Location: Vaneland

A coalition Trooper crucified at the edge of a clearing marks the way...

Vaneland looks like a high-tech truck stop grafted onto a medieval courtyard. It sits squarely atop a minor ley line, which provides the arcane energy required for it to phase into Rifts Earth.

• The Watering Hole: At the center is a massive, glowing trough of "Charged Water"—ley line energy condensed into liquid form. It is irresistible to the mounts of the Simvan, acting as a powerful restorative for mega-fauna.

• The Atmosphere: The town consists of semi-translucent buildings that shimmer like a mirage. When the town "fades out," anyone not keyed to Vane’s dimensional signature is deposited unceremoniously into the empty Indiana woods.

• Vaneland General Store Radio Tower:  250mile range, 250cr/minute to use

• Vaneland General Store Matrix Link: 25000 cr / day to use

Basic Statistics

• Population: 18 (Result of rolling $6d6$).

• 9 Vaneminions Guards: Unknown jumpsuit-clad demons guarding the fadetown.

• 6 Simvan Customers: Members of the Pervic tribe utilizing the watering hole.

• 3 D-Bees: (Calculated from remaining $1/6$ populatin

Settlement Amenities

Feature	Description
The Watering Hole	A ley line-fed trough used by Simvan riders to heal and recharge their beetles and dinosaurs.
General Store	A rustic, semi-translucent "shimmering" building providing technical and magical gear.
Ley Line Tap	Provides 240-480 PPE depending on Ley Line surge levels, fueling the town's stability.

Social Dynamics

• External Relations: Acts as a territorial buffer and anchor for the Federation of Magic.

• Internal Security: Vaneminions enforce Vane's will with "Phase-Strikes" that bypass physical armor.

• Stability: Low/Transient; the town is only stable enough to serve as an HQ because of Vane's level Shifter abilities.

Vane

Vane is a calculating dimensional architect who views the Simvan as a necessary "outer guard" for his sanctuary. He is gaunt, wears a high-collar armored duster, and never speaks above a whisper.

Caldor trades vibrosword gift for a TW Frost Blade

E1 King Burgle the Mutant Rat Pecos Raider of Fort Iron Whiskers allows the group to stay at the fort since they rescued Gina Tey the Mutant Rat and only Math Teacher the tribe has.

E2 King Burgle negotiates the group training young rats in exchange for staying.

Each PC gets some rats assigned to them by King Burgle who are ostensibly working for them to make their stay comfortable, but are really spying on the group.  Each PC is expected to teach their Rat Entourage.

Kaldor teaches his rats to Speak Kregghor

TOW teaches his rats to Pilot Motorcycle

Cam teaches her single Rat Sparkle Tail to start unlocking her 1d4 random psionic powers.

All the level1 ratlings secretly report to Kai and Gina who are expected to report on the group to King Burgle.

E3 Overhear radio chatter from the Princess's former Psigoblin minions reporting the movements of the group to BOWZA the dragon.

E4 Overhear radio chatter from BOWZA Back to Psigoblins "Send scouts to track the party, I will deal with them soon"

 

E5 Tickles repeats a message over the radio to all Federation of Magic citizens:

GOBLIN NEEDS

A radio message is overheard going to all psigoblins in Federation of Magic territory:

"My Goblins and fellow Zone Inhabitants:

Tonight a mighty Zonal Mobilization begins, a voluntary mobilization of the forces of Goblin wickedness and power. In more than 600 Zonal Nexus, gifts for Merctown war relief and for Goblin  services at home will be gathered by the experienced hands of Federation of Magic Knights who will collect 13% of forces and wealth from each Federation nexus. The great magical organizations of the Zone will give full cooperation to this work. And thousands of Goblins will give freely of their time and talents for the success of these campaigns.

You have been accustomed for many years to raiding your own neighbors for contributions to your Warlord's chest; now we must combine our forces to stretch a fist of hate and strength across the Zone to retake Merctown.

We must transform some of our new buying power into giving power as we face redoubled needs on every hand at lair and abroad; and prepare to pull our loincloths tighter for the hard fight ahead.

For most of us this year, giving will not be easy. War needs exact a heavy toll, not only on the fighting front but in the personal lives and fortunes of every one of us. But your giving will provide not alone strength for our Zone at war; but proof, in a world of violence and greed, that the Zonal inhabitants keep faith with our monarchy, that we hold inviolate our belief in the infinite worth of the individual goblin being.

Your gift may give new heart to courageous Goblins bombed out of their homes in many places; it may add to the precious store of medicines in a distant hospital or speed a shipload of food to a little Merctown, whose people are dropping in the streets from starvation. It may strengthen the hands of brave allies fighting our common foe. It may help a busy Goblin, working in war industry in your own Nexus, to take proper care of his slaves. It may speed on her rounds a visiting Necromancer  who is carrying a double load because so many of her profession are now with the armed forces. And it will help your Nexus to give hospitality to Demons, Shifters, and Witches on a precious few-days leave, or on their way to some distant battle line.

Your gift must take account, also, of the continuing needs of the sick, the crippled Goblin, the slaves and Goblins whose homes are not adequate to their needs; the bound demons, and the unfortunate in your own Zone, whose troubles have not lessened with the new worries and needs which war has brought.

Upon each one of you who listens tonight- upon you as a Goblin—in your own Lairs and Pits and plantations throughout this vast Zone, rests the success or the failure of the retaking of Merctown.

And so in generous giving, we will affirm before the world our Zone's faith in the inalienable right of every Goblin to a life of hatred, and strength and powerful security. Every successful Nexus collection, and every warlord's campaign will be another step toward the eventual victory of Goblins and the Zone.

E6 Jumbles sets up a defense Net with Caldor's robot

E7 Once the ratlings are trained, King Burgle gives the group a map to the Dragons Lair.

The ratlings they pile onto custom made motorcycles and start to follow the group to the Lair.

E8 Following the map, the Group comes to a wall of dragon shit blocking the way.  some rats go to investigate it and get eaten by a Nipper worm of Taut.

The group stays clear of the wall of dragon shit, seeing an entrance into the maze they make camp deciding what to do next...

E2 Group sees a ratlady tied up to be sacrificed on a pile of loot.

A Rat named Kai runs up to them on a modified CS Sky cycle and asks them to rescue his sister from inside.  TOW negotiates a 1000cr bounty for her rescue and is paid by Kai.

Caldor crashes through the front of the castle gate with the robot, and uses the railgun to kill the Goblin leader taking some small arms fire from the rest of the goblins before they flee.

Then a DRAGON shows up looking for its treasure, the group gives it a diadam and takes the rest of the offerings the dragon didnt see they had.  The dragon gives them 24hr to get more tribute.

The group has laid  claim to the rest of its treasure the goblins had left out in a crate hidden which has been loaded into the mech.

Gina and Kai lead the group to the rat base FORT IRON WHISKERS where low lifestyle is availible for free, the mech is repaired, and all mainbook loot is for sale.  Rats repair the robot.

Rat leaders give Caldor a map to the Dragons lair where they claim princess shack may be located.
