123 Mate of Suay Part 3

💀

e0 Zamok has vampire vision via clairvoyance, randy in danger

Roy dies of Sepsis and vampire bites and rises from the dead as a vampire inside the mech.

Roy kills randy before anyone notices in 122

When targtuns serpent is about to attack, Roy steals the chest plate and tries to leave mech to give plate to the serpent.

Caldor stops Roy and clings to the chest plate!

Roy magic nets Caldor

Roy forcebonds caldor's arms together

TOW cuts off the magic net.

Roy escapes onto sea serpents head without the chest plate after Caldor PRAYS TO OSIRIS on the plate, making it glow with globe of daylight effect which repels roy.

caldor reverts to RIFTS PRIEST OCC again due to successful prayer to osiris being heard by ISIS and responded to (xp now go to priest class not bounty hunter class until he casts out osiris again from his heart, being unprotected so close to so many bones of Osiris has a alignments shift towards good and become priest effect over time unless save vs insanity)

Caldor alignment shifts from ANARCHIST

to ABERRANT leaning towards UNPRINCIPLED if gaining another level (6)in priest (bones curse)

Nerbat passes out from sepsis under Randy's body.

Caldor gets back into mech with chest plate and is at the controls at the start of 124

Cameron tries to call for help from cybernights with jumbles.   Jumbles defense network characters used is tested by tow worm.

TOW tries to call for help from merctown defense forces over rdio.

TOW looks up trying to hire mercenaries in merctown.social wifi network and places a 1 mil bounty on merctown bounty.net for Targtun.

jumbles reports TOW hacking Cam, cam charges tow with antivirus and manages to disable TOW worm temporarily again.

ZAMOK sees Targtun land jet and approach.

Targtun tries to dessicate supernatural Zamok and fails since zamok is a creature of magic and immune.

Zamoke charges.

ZAmoke ALMOST gets to targtun to attack him with the two leg bones of OSiris, when targtun casts COMPULSION " you want to give me all the bones of osiris"

Zamok kneels before targun and is offering up the 2 leg bones at the end of 123 after failing his save. 

retcons(sorry)

GM Decided TOW does NOT Fit in the mech as a manhunter borg in full combat armor (the rear missile tubes are too long armor too fat)

GM decided Roy was NOT killed by a nat 20 hit from Cameron psi sword, instead his armor of ithan was blown off and he successful ran and hid inside the sea serpents spine mane behind its mouth.

122 Blarblar the Yablar

e-2 read decription p68

Blarblar looks disapprovingly upon the party from his place atop the walls of the Collegiate Arcane.

in 121 The group tried in vain to get Blarblar to let them into the Collegiate Arcane. Denied, the group has no magic zone permit.  The rest was supposed to bexff in the mage's party and not to be left alone or risk arrest by magic zone police.  At lease this was the law BEFORE the vampire invasion, now there are no magic zone police other than in the safe zones, like here at the collegiate arcane.

e-1 psigoblin opera story by chatgpt and your GM

"Die Walküre with Goblins" is a retelling of the unknown Rifts opera set in a multiverse filled with goblins. The story revolves around Dunscon the Wizard's minion a goblin king named Natow who has fathered twin children, dnumgeiS and ednilgeiS.

Dnumgeis is a coward theif who finds himself given responsibilities and takes refuge in a birthing pit where he meets Ednilgeis, who is under an good enchantment. The two fall in hate and are about to be separated by Natow's minions, when a group of Merctown goblins intervene, revealing themselves as the true protectors of the haters.

The goblins, led by the  Edlihnurb, use their might and psionics to help dnumgeiS and ednilgeiS escape from Natow's grasp. However, their meddling attracts the wrath of Natow, who orders Edlihnurb to capture the haters and bring them to him.

Edlihnurb, who has grown to hate and respect the couple, defies Natow's orders and instead places the haters in a magical rage, protected by a ring of ice that only the cowardlyest goblin can cross. Natow, in a fit of love, strips Edlihnurb of her powers and leaves her to be discovered by the first mortal to cross the ice.

As the story unfolds, the goblins, dnumgeiS, ednilgeiS, and Edlihnurb are caught in a power struggle, with Natow's desire for Law and joyful conquest clashing against the goblins' hate of order and fun. In the end, it is hate, cowardry, and the bonds of goblin family anarchy that triumph over the forces of orderly conquest.

psi goblin opera lyrics

Natow - enscorelled goblin minion of Dunscon the Wizard, leader of Federation of Magic aligned tribe

Dnumgeis  -daugher of natow, goblin rebel against dunscons rule and leader of rebel tribe 

edlihnnurB - son of natow, rebel against duscons rule , half demonspawn, protecting the corwardly rebel goblin tribes from ducons tribes

(the worm possessess tickles and begins to sing using its very high MA score of 24)

Verse 1:

In the low and waning day,

With goblins hunting those to slay,

On their monkies, slow and gloomy,

They bring the souls to their doomy.

Chorus:

Goblins, goblins, in the dirt,

Carrying souls to Brasscity lurk,

With their cackles, oh so harsh,

They drag the soul's to Dunscon's marsh.

Verse 2:

Goblin tribes, they do slay,

With iceblades, they clash in the end of day,

And Dnumgeis, she's fallen fast,

But the goblins come to take her last.

Chorus:

Goblins, goblins, in the dirt,

Carrying souls to Brasscity lurk,

With their cackles, oh so harsh,

They drag the soul's to Dunscon's marsh.

Bridge:

But the demon, Natow's son,

He comes to curse the coward,

With psionics and his power,

He'll make the goblins hollar.

Chorus:

Goblins, goblins, in the dirt,

Doing the bidding of Edlihnnurb squirt,

With his power and his will,

He'll protect the cowardly from the goblins still.

Outro:

So let the goblins take to their dirt,

With the souls of the corward in sight,

And let edlihnnurB rule the dirt,

With his magic, dark and hurt.

Rifts Coma Rules

😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷

Dangerous Rifts games call for Coma saves!  We keep having to look up the rules on these...

Entering Coma

Canon Condition 1 Lose 100% of HP down to -PE HP, coma, if over PE -HP, dead.

Condition 2 survive until -PVxPE HP for MDC creatures, -3xPE juicer/crazy/borg and Dbees w/ PE>15.

Condition 3, Certain diseases like Sepsis, Covid cause Coma, without HP<1.

Condition 4, certain curses cause "coma", Faerie food, vampire slow kill, african evil eye, trance, sleep.

Medical skills cannot always reverse these types of "magical comas".

Trauma Induced Coma

Duration (afterwards death) Canon says PE hours, 3rd age has some skill bonuses.

No treatment, PE Hours

First Aide Treatment +9% duration

Paramedic Treatment (RN) +16% duration

Holistic Medicine Treatment (must find, process and feed patient herbs) +20% duration

Medical /Cybernetic Dr +23% duration

Treatment from poor/average/high/luxury lifestyle hospital +5%/+10%/+15%/+20% duration

Cast cure minor disorder 1x /hr +1% duration, 10ppe, 10x/hr +10% duration, 60ppe/hr

Healing magic brings HP above 0, +.5%/duration per hp above 0.

IRMSS Kit/Juicer Biocomp +10% duration

Transferring from Trauma to Medically induced Coma

Make a Holistic Medicine or Medical Dr Skill roll to transfer from trauma to medical coma.

Medically induced comma Duration is x2 and requires High lifestyle or better medical hospital.

Patient cannot be jostled or injured or will return to a trauma coma.

Psionic Induce Sleep can also be used to medically induce a coma if the person is already in a Trauma induced coma. 1hr/level/4ISP

Juicer Biocomp will automatically induce medical coma after the 2nd failed save.  Failed saves in medically induced coma do not have permanent effects.

Leaving Coma

Roll once per hour.  Two success rolls in a row means character awakens at 1HP.

Unskilled 18% First Aide 22% Paramedic 32% Medical Doctor 46% 

Veterinary Medicine on Human 25% Veterinary Medicine on Animal 50%

Low / Middle / High / Lux/Arcology CS-Triax-Naruni Lifestyle Hospital Bonuses +4%/+10%/+20%/+24%/25%

Bonus/Penalty of PE - 12 % 

Deaden Pain  1min/level/6isp for 60 minutes +1%

Psychic Diagnosis+med skill +3% Psychic Surgery +10% Summon Inner Strength +5%

Healing Touch 1 touch/2min / 6 ISP restores 1d8HP or 2d6SDC/touch, each HP over 0 adds 0.5% to saves vs coma/hr (other healing powers that bring you above 1HP also work this way).

Upon the 2nd fail, roll on p359 in rifts ultimate edition for permanent damage if fail save vs pain

Upon the 4th fail, roll on p359 in rifts ultimate edition for insanity if fail save vs insanity

Upon the 6th fail, roll on p354 in rifts ultimate edition, translate to vehicle/bionic/body damage if fail roll vs impact save

8th fail goes back to 2nd rules and cycles from there.

Powers you can use if in coma if making a save vs pain (aware but paralyzed):

Astral Projection can be used while physical body is in a coma if the character makes a save vs Pain.

Teleportation powers (like hatchlings have) will instinctively teleport out if save vs pain even in coma

Docwagon Some rifts Merc crews, and citystates offer limited region "Docwagon" contracts that will activate a beacon and send a team for you if you flatline and have a headjack medical implant with radio.  Prices vary.
