#73 Nxla Aftermath part 2

Novus Atlantis by SebastianWagner on DeviantArt

In shadow of Nxla's petrified self, sitting in the nuked wreckage of Cincinatti's pyramid complex, the party ties up loose ends.

1 caldor osiris plot - prophetic dreams of the coming of set and the 3 other horsemen, to save the world you pray words you don't understand (ancient egyption).  In the morning you have the urge to utter the words again...



Nxla thought caldor was an agent of a rival alien intelligence due to his hosting a splugorth juicer symbiot which was also secretly spying for splyncryth, or so nxla suspected.  This is why caldor was targeted so viciously for extermination by the alien intelligence nxla.  Luckily the recently found breastplate of osiris bonds to the gap the dead symbiot left perfectly as if by magic...

Caldor sees a snake crawling towards a dunebuggy crashed into a hole, and a symbol of set drawn in the ground near camp, bad omen..noone else seems to notice them.
Caldor rushes up and pulls the dune buggy out and sees some rubble and a door down at the bottom of the pit, in the rubble he sees some snake sized holes and swears there might be snakes down there, again noone notices him yelling about snakes in a hole.


2 drago fom plot gets pidgeon invite from dunscons herald denali,
will gain rank of baron in fom nobility (title lord drago, 3 nexus)
must declare one knight to collect taxes from the realms
must declare 1 Estate Knight of the realm per nexus to hold terrain, checked on yearly by fom operatives to insure the nexus maintains held by the fom.  They are granted estates for their service.

knights can declare "gentlemen of the federation of magic", their followers leaders get this protected class, those protected by the knight of the realm (nexus) the knight serves to protect

gentlemen intern hire followers known as "yeomen of the federation of magic"
those without such titles or place within the hierarchy are viewed with suspicion in the federation of magic.

drago feels strange after petrifying nxla as if teleporting is some how being interfered with slightly...


3 sparticus -aot leadership - squad starving immediate need of food
squad setup who is leaders of remaining men? all one platoon, 2 squads ?
3.5 jet salvage
orders for NPC AoT Troops with Sparticus?
Lida Kent, Seth Brown Lt. Fifo Partino, Jizzel Lane,Camron Case, Lt Julie Dodd, Samantha Dodd, Seth Brown, Claudio Perez, Captain Salin Appolonis
NPC Aot Troops back at huntsvill:
?
troops sent back to base, lida refuses and takes 3 others to scavenge the crashed jet

4 herman/lady naya
get cybernight message asking for proof (pics) of nxlas destruction, herman sends back pics
contact says there is a safehouse to save elders near by but this isnt used


5 bluey's head tinduhk and what to do with gaw bodies?  more rolls to keep them alive...
blue wires them all up to the power supply on the bike with tin duhks head... for now this will keep them alive


NPCS:

4 Surviving elders:
Tin Duhk has working head only, wired into blueys hovervehicle controls

Badly injured and non responsive comatose, will require more immediate care or may die:

Riki,
Merl,sort of alive
Bo elder  Leader of Huntsville that was http://3rdageofdragonwright.blogspot.com/2011/03/cornpacalypse-morning.html

bo was rescued by dirk diggler and driven back to the army


Guntersville 1st Fighter Squadron  - shot down
Led by LT Misty +4 other female pilots survived but are in comas:

the jets were destroyed by a harvester using call lightning
one pilot died the rest are in comas, misty is awake

6 bluey has the tree... more rolls to keep it alive succed as drago pumps it full of plant growth magic and makes a plant holder for it on the back of the hover platform.  the tree looks moderately better but still wilty, it needs planting.. and soon.

rolls up short 1 dunebuggy., recon-7 driven by Dirk Diggler, 3rd lvl smuggler gaw
offers to evac 1 wounded back to their main army a mile north of cincinatti.
Says they were out hunting slavers who came into huntsville earlier and now they wish to return to huntsville if its safe.

tells of how another one of his squads dunebuggys lies unused over 100meters to the east after they scouted the area but got killed by..something... going near the buggy shows footprints towards a subway tunnel...

you can also see dwarf footprints and blood here! Drago senses a dwarf is near death...

Players start to go into the subway, herman drago and dragos scouting magic orb.  From behind suddenly 4 tautons Caldor SWORE he saw earlier materialize and aattack from behind.  Sparticus puts up a force feild and stops most of the enemies attacks as well as hermans counter attack.  Drago puts an ice wall on top of the tautons who escape in the holes they slitherd out of under the ice wall.

Walking in herman and Drago see some ghouls finishing eating the pilots of the missing recon squad dirk was trying to find.  The Ghoul Leader Lishraak takes a bribe from Drago and doesnt attack, he says that some badly injured dwarf fled deeper into the tunnels not to long ago...

Deciding not to enter the tunnels instead the group calls for help waiting for the GAW Army to arrive.
In time the army does arrive, Drago persuades the tankers to bombaard Nxla and only succeeds in knocking him over, creating a bridge across the river into cincinatti.

Rifts Contacts

I am hoping as a GM to use Rifts Contacts Karma to help players organize their interactions with NPCs and try to build on them.

Characters get contacts karma to buy contacts.
Contacts are part friend part business partner.
They represent someone the character genuinely likes and who is genuinely liked by the character, in his circle of NPC friends outside the other player characters in the group.

MA/2+PB/2+ Level = Rifts Contacts Karma


Contacts have 2 ratings, Loyalty and Connections.  Contacts start at 1/1 and cost 2 points.  Contacts can have up to a level 6 bonus but never more than 7 points between loyalty and connections.

Each Level of Connections gives a +5% bonus to the skill the contact helps with.

Each Level of Loyalty gives a +5% bonus to thwart attempts to corrupt the contact against the character, as well as one favor per year, be it helping directly with a skill giving the 5%/lvl connections bonus or helping take out some bad guys.


Connections start at 1/1 and can have their stats improved through in character actions like bribes, heroic saving of the contact and or contacts family, and so on.

Contacts have a Name, Region, and the two ratings, so Bubba the Burbs Mechanic 1/1 for an example.


Example archetypes:

Mechanic - +5% to vehicle related skills, find contraband for vehicle parts
Doctor - +5% to medical related skills find contraband for medical cyberware
Hacker - +5% to computer skills, hacking find contraband and fencing of data
Fence
Banker+5% to money/law skills, currency trading, precious metal trading
Policeman +5% to crime fighting skills, favoritism in policed lands
Federation of Magic Lord +5% to magic skills, favoritism in fom lands
CS Soldier+5% to tech skills, favoritism in cs lands
Thug +5% to crime skills, favoritism in turf
Barflies
Bums

Coming up soon...Rifts Fixing

#72 Nxla Aftermath

Herman takes the following items.   He programs the Kitani defense system to  mule the 3 barrels


gold crown 1000gp
barrel of 5000gp
barrel of brandy
ARCHIICOM programming manual book
ArchieCore cyberdeck computer
kitani automated defense system
1 potion of greater healing
potion of Sorcerous Fury
Shashka [European] magic long sword 5d6MD
Sosun Pattah magic short sword 3d6md
1 ancient barrel marked "TNT"


Caldor:  daggers + osiris stuff, daggers talk of him slaying bes and inheriting his dark portfolio, they spin around him and try to protect him from drago and bluey as bluey puts caldor in the kreeghor goo and heals him

Drago: piles of loot sorting, getting proof of tolkeen corruption from surviving aot members in huntsville

players rush to area the jet crashed
rescue 3 near death borgs inside
see 5 more jets fly over, mistys squad, hear call lightning, those jets crash
get to crash sites, are attacked by some former armor of thunder members, and a harvestor.
the harvestor dominates drago and sends him to kill lady naya
luckily the harvestor is defeated even though invisible and drago exorcises nxlas essence from the aot members

Tin Duhks the only elder that can talk offers 50 mil if the players can get the 3 dying cyborgs to safety in huntsville where they can be fixed up.


Drago reconizes the dead dwarf harvestor from Tolkeen, on the dwarf are papers directly implicating Scard in Tolkeen of defying justice and giving unlawful aide to the harvestors that were killed by Sparticus's men resulting in his exile from tolkeen.
Perhapse with these papers sparticus could clear his name.
