Languages in Valkana:
As this will come up shortly, there are a number of languages in this world. Within the area you are in, there is a common language called Valka. Everyone speaks it usually although the further away from the city-states, the more dialects can get difficult.
The races all have their own languages as well. So whatever race you are, you speak that race language plus common. Higher INT darkspawn have their own language as well, plus there is goblin, troll, and ogre.
Old languages, which come up if you are searching abandoned ruins and lost cities, are usually either Ancient Saurian Empire (ASE) and Old Elven (OE). There is an old Dwarven and old Orc as well that are mostly pictographs because they were not allowed to have a written language. There was a language called Lagree which was used to describe the melding of magic and tech together. It is very rare and almost never heard anymore as people who knew were hunted down during the chaos wars.
You all have your initial two languages plus one language for every + you have in intelligence. ASE and OE is good to have for at least one party member to know when looking at old instructions or instrument panels.

I will write up combat over the next few days. These bugs are tough but not impossible. I have great faith in your ability to defeat them. Keep in mind that you have an opening round on them as they so far have not detected your presence.

Topic: Supernatural / hunter interest?
Subject: There is a supernatural rpg
The cortex rules which I used for serenity and wwii has a Supernatural rpg game. It is now out of print but I have the PDFs. I can share it with anyone who would like it.
The one thing I would say though is that the monsters were so so more powerful than the players that the GM has to be careful not to wipe out the party. You got to give them the tools they need.

If you are up close and personal with the firebugs, chances are they can't shoot fire at you.

Look to how many hit points you have and I am likely to not have the first monsters you face have more than you do.

Tann - you doubt the throwing stars have the penetrating power to harm the firebugs, unless you get very lucky.
Boo - not all knowledge related to combat. In my games, as the others can attest to, knowledge here may pertain to something later on or even upcoming adventures.

Subject: Talk
You can converse about things you know and make plans n this forum. Consider this to be talking around the table. Just make sure that what you share here is shared in the game.
You have come down about fifty yards (measure are all yards in this game). Looking around there is no outcrops or hanging debris to use as a weapon. Lum thinks this was a manufactured cave that was covered up by a fallen building and it settled over time. The stairs you are on are on one side of a thirty yard diameter circle while the stairs with the doors is on the opposite side.

Topic: Dark Fantasy QnA
Subject: Stunt rolls
Stunt rolls are similar to critical rolls in this game. I haven't bothered to explain them in detail because I am doing all the rolling anyway. If you have something that says "using the number on the stunt die" - just assume I will roll a d6 to see the result.
As this is your first encounter, I will assume everyone is doing what lore checks they can - for this encounter only.
Spells are not strong in this game. This is because a lot of magic has been lost in the wars and chaos. Who knows, you might find some spells you never heard of before. Books written in old elven are highly profitable as they may contain a spell.

Subject: well
You said the bug were made to be weapons.
Who developed them? - That would be a Intelligence (Historical Lore) cor (Military Lore) check. Would you like to make one? Would anyone else?
If they were weapons then at one time they were able to be controlled, would we know about that and how? - That would be historical lore or Scientific lore check. Se above
Do we know if they feed on living things? -Yes they do. Very much they do.
Would we know what they feed on? Anything living.
Are there webs around? No.
Can we see any other tunnels or cave areas where there might be more of these or where we could take cover?
That would be a Perception check (Seeing) or (Searching). See above
Do they only direct the fire in a line behind them?
See above on lores
Do they have mandibles that can grab and draw one in or hold a victim for the bite? Historical lore or Military lore. I might even allow Scientific lore. However they do have mandibles.
According to stories you have heard, they bite, they rend with their legs, they have poison, they squirt fire in all directions, their armour reflects blaster fire and they inject a fluid into you that burns you up from the inside out or lays their eggs into your body where you remain alive until the little one hatch and eat you slowly as their first meal.
First time any of you have seen one live, let alone two.

You can say "Mai is hanging back from the melee to see what unfolds. If anyone needs healing, she will heal them but if not she will cast Rock Blast at the most damaged Firebug"
And I never mind you asking questions. I rather you ask than make assumptions.

Topic: Dark Fantasy QnA
Subject: intiative
Combat order is determined by an initiative roll which is a DEX check. Whoever rolls higher goes first.
For combat you post what you think your character will do. I then post what actually happens. You have no idea whether you will be first in order or last until you are in the thick of things. They are not attacking you right now so you do have a chance to plan unless someone does something foolish like open fire.
Here is a visual. For size - think a VW Beetle with legs.

Topic: Titansgrave Adventures
Subject: going down
One of you spots a set of stairs nearby that lead to the bottom of the cavern. There you see a circular area of dirt and rubble, about 30 yards in diameter. Just beyond that is another set of steel stairs and a set of shiny metal doors built into the rock. A light above the door shines brightly like a beacon, illuminating the scene. The doors are partially ajar but unfortunately there is something in the way of you and the doorway - two large firebugs - They resemble armour clad spiders with glowing red thoraxes. Firebugs are a creature of the chaos wars, bio-engineered to serve as weapons on a battlefield. They now have no purpose and live within the waste, preying on whatever victims they can find. Firebugs are a giant cross between spider and beetle with the ability to hurl liquid fire from their backsides and a poisonous bite. Worse yet, their carapace reflects blaster fire so they are very hard to kill from a distance.
What could be beyond that door? There are security doors that would normally seal magnetically but failed to do so. That means whatever lies beyond was once worth securing well. Furthermore, the light means there is a power source still operating within. Firebugs might be difficult to kill but not impossible and beyond that door could be a world of discovery and treasure.

Subject: HP and Death in TG
A long sword does 2d6 in this game. A short sword 1d6+2. Heavy Blaster pistol does 2d6, Regular blaster does 1d6+2 and a blaster rifle does 3d6.
This is to give you an idea of how much damage things do compared to the Hit points you have.
Melee - Fighting bonus to Hit, Strength Bonus to Damage
Missile - Accuracy to hit, Dexterity to damage
Blasters - Accuracy to hit, Perception to damage
Grenades - No bonuses as you don't need to be precise, it is based on difficulty of throw.
Death: When a character reaches 0 hp, they are dying (but not dead yet) - there are no negative HP in this game. Once you reach 0, you are considered unconscious and bleeding out. You have 2+CON rounds for someone to heal you or stim-pack you.You may survive one more round beyond that if you make a Willpower save but after that, you are dead.

You may post your characters here if you want with as much of the background as you choose to share. Keep in mind that the group has been together as a team for a year going through the rust waste so you should know each other well and you would know how each other fights or deals with fights.
