88238a No.32796 [View All]
No one remembers how the realm was scorched, nor who was responsible. Some elven tribes whisper of a great war against the very weapons that protected the realm, while other long-lived tribes tell tales of a madman that turned the realm's tribes against each other before scorching it himself.
Few souls find time to contemplate such things, as the realm is filled with misery and suffering. In some places Warlords have carved out fiefdoms, holding them together day by day. In others, only doomed souls wander the land. But word spreads that the terrible storms above an ancient city have begun to fade, and that great treasures await any that dare to seek them. Some say the storms scar the land with things from other times or possibly other realms beyond any knowledge. Even as the land is twisted and changed with each flare of the great storm, those that would seek fortune and power, or are simply mad, make their way toward the ruins.
The city itself lies within a great basin, the surrounding wastes towering above from twisted cliffs. The Ogre Crin'tun rules a settlement perched upon a peninsula that juts into the basin's South-Western edge, demanding tribute from any that wish to delve into the city using the nearby passes. Other paths into the basin surely exist, though they are either well kept secrets or all that have found them have perished.
Welcome to the Storm Ruins.
Who are you, and what does your Faction seek in this deadly ruin?

One day Brax and two other mmen came into a glowing forest where they found several mutant women, who looked like they were part tree, and had mutant powers over plants. He and his men stole these women and took them for themselves as slaves, and used thier powers over plants to their advantage. Over years gathered more raiders and bandits interested in pretty mutant women, "Dryads" they called em, if they birthed a girl they planted it into the ground and it grew into another, if they birthed a boy it was just another human.

1. Unnamed Wanderer #1 ventures to the South-West and vanishes. Some wonder if he should be left to the wastes, or a search mounted.
-1 Unnamed Wanderer
2. Unnamed Wanderers #2 & #3 venture to the East of camp. They stumble across what seems to have once been a trade caravan, or perhaps a group that just happened to have pack beetles. Most of their things have been taken or torn to shreds by wasteland critters, but the wanderers manage to break up some of the more usable beetle corpses into usable chitin chunks, and even find a pipe rifle that someone didn't pick up earlier.

2. Knight Oceanius' attention is drawn to the South-East, where the land seems to descend between two rocky outcroppings. Bravely, he ventures forward alone toward something in the distance. Across the dunes lies a massive, yet low structure. His instincts to avoid approaching are proven correct shortly after he spots the structure, as several figures soon approach, dragging another that clearly does not belong. Oceanius looks away as the occupants hoist what he believes to be a man up by their feet and begin preparing him for a meal.
Oceanius notices a strange glint beside him, and after a moment reveals a long dead skeleton in strange, rotted garb. He takes the few items still held by the skeleton, then steels himself for the journey back to camp. The others must be warned!

2. Your wanderers explore the wastes East of your camp and spot a small ruin twisted by the region's storms.

Faction Name: 96th United Sweysian Company, Eleventh Battalion, Third Brigade - 'Rudolf's Roses'
Faction Leader: Major John Rudolf XVII
Faction Fluff: Legend holds that the great city of the invulnerable Third Brigade is still somewhere within these wastelands, the ancestral home and spiritual progenitor of all the men and women of the 96th. It is said that the Most Commanding Officer issued a command to the first Rudolf, demanding he take control of the city or die trying. His men, the men and women of the 96th, have been fighting tooth and nail for that cause ever since. It's taken a great toll on them, mind and body, with a measly twenty-four bodies total in the ninety-sixth - barely over a fourth of the eighty men the company is supposed to contain. It's to be expected when one fights as much as the 96th does, in the eternal struggle to get a stable foothold over the denizens of the Storm Ruins. After a confrontation with a fresh band of raiders, the 96th were again forced to abandon their base, retreating in a battle that cost the life of John Rudolf XVI and two other soldiers. Major John Rudolf XVII, formerly Lieutenant Olav Grotsk, is a fresh new mind, stating firmly that the 96th would not take one step back lest they found the mystical City of the Third itself - the ruins they'd taken were highly defensible, with multiple defensive positions across a single entrance, with good soil and space. Volunteers and drifters can only do so much, and more losses, Rudolf understood, would end the 96th for good. It was time to step up and accomplish the task that Rudolf the First worked so hard to attain, or to give a fitting end the long-standing tale and hardlined traditions of the Ninety-Sixth. But what the Major refused to accept was a wasting death.

On down side, failed rolls to recruit wanderers/guards from your population may result in dishonorable discharges or AWOL recruits.
SETTLEMENT ACTION: Damnable sand. We should be ready to move if a better spot pops up; I don't like how unyielding this soil is. But when has some worthless dirt ever stopped RUDOLF'S ROSES, EH!? Put some backbone into it, you lazy saps! Someone get Engineer Richards over here to draw up some defenses that work around this sand, or else we'll be sitting ducks out here!
2. Good work, all three of you - a productive day out there in the wastes. Group together under Sergeant Hermann and move to clear out the Northern ruin. Clean it of supplies and bring them back to base, and once it's totally free of radroach infestation and any useful supplies, draft me up a report on its suitability as a shelter over our current location. GET TO IT, SOLDIERS.

2. Lord Mechanist Wrenchy climbs the broken lands north of the encampment, but only finds an impressive view of the city below. There is no way for your people to descend the cliffs into the city below. Unless you don't mind a rather long last step.
3. Dr Bolts follows the land's natural slope down into the city's basin, though it takes her South-West. As she reaches the end of the canyon, she discovers a rather friendly group of Crin'tun's goons have set up a checkpoint. They guard a well that all can use, but to pass out of the city you'll have to offer tribute to Crin'tun. In all, Bolts counts a mixture of 12 guards and an Ogre, and a half dozen unaffiliated wanderers nearby at any given time.

1. The wastelands surrounding the city are just that, wastelands. The shifting sands offer neither water nor living plants. A long dead tree of some sort is located among the dunes, and dragged back to camp. It isn't good for much besides burning or using as a barricade against smaller foes, however.
+2 Wood
2. Mig-a-Mug and Gor'tur avoid the switchback below Thunder Point, leading into the city. Crin'tun's goons control the path and would demand tribute upon their return. The wastelands South of camp are barren of scrap metal, but the pair of ogres locate a small ruin among the sands. Mig-a-Mug thinks that the small trader caravan's members are sleeping, but soon discovers that the smaller humanoids are dead and what is left of them spoiled in the harsh sun. Judging by the looks of them, this group was killed and butchered recently.

1. To the West the three travel, in search of the Chalice. The wastes are harsh, but the rocky ridge to the South of their path keeps the worst of the dunes at bay. Further in the distance, the trio spy something unnatural. A strange, skeletal construct seems to rise from the ridge to their North West, jutting out over the Northern side. Still far beyond their reach, the Priest suggests that this is a sign from the heavens and must be investigated! Acolyte believes he spotted figures moving about the distant site, and urges caution.

2. Leviathan and Tink scout the South-West. While the shifting sands quickly erase beast track, a few signs of rad-beetles and rad-scorpions are spotted. As they near a great, rocky ridge, the pair of hunters spy a crumbling ruin and a rather large rad scorpion that seems to be building a nest in the structure. The creature could be hunted now, and the ruin claimed, or the tribe could leave the beast to nest and possibly enlarge the ruin.

-Faction Name: The Sanguine
-Faction Leader: The Savior, He Who Shall Give His Flesh and Blood
-Faction Color: Flesh
-Faction Fluff: “We were born incomplete, and only through the flesh and blood of another will we reach heaven,” said The Savior to his disciples, a crown of barbed wire wrapped around his head. Where it pierced his flesh, infection had clearly set in. He was a frail older male, bald and wrinkled. Age had not treated him kindly. He had lead The Sanguine for years now and had seen followers come and seen them go, and while The Sanguine was in decline, The Savior did not give up on them. He knew that they would only receive salvation when The Chalice was found and filled with his blood, for he was God’s son.
The Sanguine were born to a world that did not want them, and they resented it for that. They were raised by The Savior to know only one thing, “Consume thine enemies if you wish to ascend.” So they consumed, and they grew. It was then that The Savior imparted a new revelation unto The Sanguine: If they were to reach heaven, they must drink of his divine blood from a Holy Chalice, lost to the wasteland. The Savior warns that should they fail, they would be cast back to the wasteland, reborn, forced to suffer further.

(Rand) There was little point to fight over such an ample feast! Each of the hunters should receive a share. Rand would toss some of the Rad-Beetle to the Mutts, after all they had played an important part. If they got greedy however they would find themselves on the menu rather quickly.
(Ashan and Bazohontas) Unfortunately the food would not suffice for the Tribe and while there were some reserves they would run out eventually. Bazboops were a hungry people and needed to be fed regularly. They would have to return the food and go on yet another hunt.

Faction Name: The Holy Order of Saint Scruffitius
Faction Fluff: Founded upon the holy rock of the Last church by none other then Saint Scruffitius himself; so the legend goes, the Order, as it is called, is a organization dedicated to protecting the knowledge of the old world and those who stay true to the faith. From their Base they keep watch over the large stores of ancient knowledge in the form of scrolls, book and manuscripts. The Monks keep watch over the place, called the Rock, where they live modest lives tending to the crops and water storage of The Rock while practicing their martial skills to hopefully one day become a Knight Errant. Brave men who wander the wasteland in search of supplies and others who would join the order, and the most sacred knowledge which they are sworn to protect. As the storms over the city disperse and scatter to the horizons the Order makes ready to delve deep into its depths to reclaim and preserve the lost knowledge there.

>Faction Name: Cogs Inc.
>Faction Leader: The Chairman
>Faction Fluff: Said to be a descendant of one of the great tribes of old, the Cogs, at least from a distance, would appear to be some type of mutant; their skin unnatural tones of color, their bodies ostensibly humanoid aside from their misshapen heads and distorted figures. Step closer however, and a steady look reveals their "skin" to be a mottled, synthetic substance bleached and distorted by centuries of age, their impossibly clean business suits actually exteriors of metal and rivets painted in a caricature of the masters they once served. Though their mortal leaders did not survive the apocalypse, the Cogs nevertheless remain dedicated to the old-world idea of commerce and business, and it is the dream of themselves and their leader, an inhumanly massive and ancient machine known as "The Chairman", to restore their company into a ruthless well oiled corporate machine, regardless of the fact it no longer serves a purpose after the end. (Extended Fluff: >>32827)

>Discoveries:
Crumbling Ruin [Barren] [Vantage Point] [Crumbling Shelter]

[Well Oiled Machines] - Instead of food or water, your robots require oil to survive. Oil depletes as if it were both food AND water, and more of it will need to be located.
[Metal Machines] - All of your forces, including population, gain +2 to combat rolls. However, you may not use any weapons that are not 1-handed or over-the-shoulder due to your frames. You also are unable to recruit non-robots, as the fleshbags will fear you.
[Error 404: Blueprints Not Found] - You are unable to construct more of your kind.
1. [Settlement-Wide] "We have the beginnings of progress in our hands: do not delay, the time for progress is now!" [Seek out raw materials to begin constructing an oil refinery.]
2. [Flunky/Bottom Feeder/Cold Caller] "Report back to corporate headquarters for now and deposit your resources, you have a new initiate to ease into position. Come chat by the oil cooler, speak of your exploits, and discuss what you have discovered. While you're at it, hand the Cashbot a proper tool to do his job!" [Reporting back to HQ to deposit resources and refill on oil.]
3. [Short Change] "Now that you're on the job, make yourself look like you're doing something important!" [Aid in finding construction materials around HQ.]

>[Beast Slayers] - Your tribe knows how to hunt and kill the beasts of these wastes. Double your attack dice vs larger opponents and beasts.
>[Nothing to Waste] - Your tribe gains a bonus to crafting things out of beast bits, and your wanderers may choose to consume beast flesh after a successful hunt for additional exp. (instead of adding it to your food stocks)
>[Natural Equipment] - Your tribe frowns upon items that are not crafted out of beast parts. While they certainly appreciate that structures can be made of things besides beasts, they're not particularly good at it. This also applies to things like guns.
1. Settlement: Begin recruiting guards for the settlement
2. All three people return home to resupply hunting and scavenging along the way.

Faction Name: I Thilivern Arnad
Faction Leader: Mithon "The White Fog" Reginaldius Bucksworth
Faction Fluff: They say for every ten men there is one elf but it may be that people are simply blind to what is around them. In a valley of white fog a will is forming to unite the tribes and undo the sundering brought about by the storm. The tempering of this will has taken many years of scavenging and decisions on what is right. Mithon is one of the few bearded elves among his people. If only he could recover the great artifacts known to him and access the Orb Net and use the untold wisdom it once held to unite his people.
Race: Elf

>Faction Name: The Mechanists
>Faction Leader: Lord Mechanist Wrenchy*
>Faction Fluff: The Mechanists care about only one thing, robots. Small robots, big robots, armed robots, household robots industrial robots. If it's a machine that can move by its own power without direction then they want it, they want to study it, and they want to improve it. As such, they left on a quest to find a great factory rumoured to exist somewhere in the Storm Ruins where robots were once made, and once they find it construct the greatest robot the world has ever seen!
