Quick GM note:

I kinda screwed up the character progression a bit, but just caught it now. Pheonixia bought Resta from the shop, but for some reason I thought Shifta was purchased, so I wrote options with that in mind. Seeing as no one has died yet, the damage is minimal. As a personal apology, Pheonie will be able to use both Resta and Shifta by the time she's ready to go back out into the field.

Last Time:

You awaken in a hospital bed. The room is nicer than the last time you were here, and more notably, private. You find a meal waiting for you. It hurts to even move your arm. You spoon some soup into your mouth, and find yourself unable to finish.

Roughly an hour after you wake up, Colin Tyrell enters your room. “I’m glad to see you’re finally awake.” He pulls up a chair and sits at the foot of your bed. “We have some things to discuss.”

This is the last thing you want to be doing right now, but when Tyrell says jump...well, you at least do so begrudgingly.

“Pheonixia, I would like to know some details as to your role in your latest commission.” His eyes feel like they are burning a hole through the back of your skull.

“Well, there was a commission that wanted me to take them to the Central Dome. Seemed like a great opportunity to learn more about Pioneer I. Just like you asked.”

“Yes, but that does not grant you permission to break the law.” His tone is monotonous, but you can red some irritation on his face.

“What do you mean?”

“And any other hunter would have ignored it for the commission, just the same. Please tell me you didn't come to chew me out on a hospital bed over planetary jaywalking.”

“Of course not. If I wanted you arrested, I would have done so already. I just wanted to remind you that we still have rules before we get down to business.” Tyrell pulls his chair up next to you and clears off your food tray, replacing it with a tablet displaying some documents and a message capsule. “We have a problem.”

You skim through the documents on the tablet. There are a lot of logistical summaries. It seems that the Central Dome is largely under control. The government even seems to have located a Ryuker conduit and comms room on the roof of the Central Dome.

It seems that the building you fought the hildebear in had a small undocumented weapons cache. It's probably too late to grab something.

Your heart suddenly drops when you get to the last document. It's a battle report from inside the Central Dome. Ash was found in critical condition by Kireek and another hunter you don't recognize. When they carried Ash out of the dome, they were apparently attacked by...a dragon?

“I need to see Ash, now!” You jump out of bed. You are surprisingly energetic, considering the wounds you had. Your MAG springs to life around you.

You barge out of room, toward the nurses' desk. “There's a hunter here by the name of Ash, I need to speak to him!”

“He's a colleague and a friend.”

“I see. Well, you know where he is now. Please don't tell anyone how you found out.” She waves you off.

“Thank you!” You dash toward the elevator.

You make our way through the 15th floor, attracting a fair bit of attention, before barging into Ash's room. Kireek is sitting in a chair next to him. “Figures I'd see you here, too, after last weekend. A bit under-dressed, don't you think?”

You notice that you are wearing a hospital gown, and nothing else. “I'll worry about that later, how is Ash doing?”

“Still recovering. That dragon got him good. Completely crushed his rib cage and burned half his body. It's a miracle I got there when I did, or he'd be scorch mark on the ground right now.”

“Hey, Ash. How are you doing?”

He looks over to you and suddenly becomes alert, straightening himself up. “Ow...crap.” He winces as he adjusts his pillows behind him. “I didn't think you'd be visiting. Not even the guys have come by yet.” His eye start to linger on you just a moment too long, “Uhm...why are you in a gown? What happened to you?”

“Hildebear got me and a few friends. We finished it off, but got a bit hurt in the meantime.” You take a few steps closer to the bed. “How long are you in for?”

“They say I can leave tomorrow morning, once the sedatives finally wear off. Modern medicine, eh?” He gives a short chuckle.

Kireek leaves the room. You take a seat next to Ash.

“So, is there anything I can get you?”

“Well, once we're both out of here and properly dressed, you could let me buy you dinner.”

“Are...you asking me out on a date?”

Ash laughs, “No, the pain killers are. I'm just letting them.” He leans back into the raised bed, “Never mind, I'm an idiot. You want to hear about the dragon, right?”

Ash seems a bit out of it, but you need this information. “Well I don't want to impose.”

“You could never impose.” He clears his throat. You hand him a cup of water sitting on a nearby food tray. “Thanks. I didn't get a good look at it, but it was big, red, and angry. Breathed fire, as you can expect, and it seems to live inside the Central Dome. Everything in the rotunda is scorched and melted. I think I even saw some lava in there.”

“And there's no way of getting control of the Central Dome without taking this thing out, is there?”

“Not without it moving on somewhere else.” Ash grunts as he sinks back into bed. “If you're going to take this thing out, please take me with you!”

“You're in no shape to be fighting!”

“And you're half naked with a medical patch on your arm!” He looks at your arm, drawing your gaze to the pain killer delivery system on your left arm. “It's not like either of us are in fighting shape right now. I know Tyrell wants you to find a way past that dragon. I want in. Please, Pheonixia.”

“Sure thing, Ash. You'll be my first pick. That dragon is going down!”

“Good to hear. It'll be nice to work together again.” Ash falls asleep.

You stick around for a few minutes until Kireek comes back in. “He's asleep again, eh? Well, no point in you sticking around, I'm sure Tyrell wants to hear from you again pretty soon.”

“Alright, thanks.” You turn to head out before hearing a robotic whistle. You turn to glare at Kireek as he laughs.

“Hey, newmans don't do anything for me, but you are asking for attention walking around with your ass out there. I hope you plan on getting dressed before you meet with anyone else.”

You grumble angrily.

“Just be careful with Ash,” he continues, more sincerely. “He's a good kid with a lot of potential. I'd hate to see him waste that potential chasing around a force instead of training.”

“We're just friends, Kireek...”

…

Two days out of the hospital, you come to the principals office for a meeting with Principal Tyrell. You talk about the mission and logistics in great detail, but it essentially boils down to you and a team of hunters going to exterminate a dragon.

“You and your team will be equipped with an upgraded frame and a heat resistance unit. This should mitigate the dragon's fire breath and the temperature inside the dome. Once this dragon is gone, we can get comms in the Central Dome and finally establish a permanent presence.”

“Thank you, Principal.”

You have to assemble three other hunters. Maybe you should buy an upgrade first.

>Equipment malfunction requires a pretty wide gap between a needed roll, and is not common unless you are trying to do something unusual. For instance, you guys bought Shifta but never actually trained it, so you were trying to use an already difficult to use technique that you've never used before under duress. Shit happens. I wouldn't worry about it.
it was the combination of the crit fail and trying to do something untrained

>>40463467
> E. Jellen – Causes lethargy in the target

>>40463475
Crit fail? We rolled a five.

So the factors involved in the high DC were 'already difficult', 'never used', and 'under duress'. Practicing it would have only reduced one of those factors. Meanwhile the DC was probably around a nine, meaning a four point difference. A flubbed non-crit on a moderate difficulty task could potentially have the same gap.

You rolled a 5 on a hard technique that you weren't competent enough to cast correctly on a good day. Rest assured, the past few days have given you enough time to train Resta and Shifta properly, and whatever technique you choose now will be trained by the time you hit the ground.

Maiawynn gives a short glare to Ash. “I get the rest of the group, but I fail to see why we need to let the little boy join in. I'm all the hunter this group needs.”

“Maia, he belongs in this group just as much as you,” you snap back. “Technically, he has the most experience fighting dragons out of the four of us. Besides, I promised he'd get a second shot at it.”

“We'll need all the help we can get.” Eleanor adds, in her usual disarming fashion.”

“Something like that, I guess?” you answer, as dumbfounded as Maiawynn.

Maia and Eleanor roll right. Eleanor rights herself into a kneeling stance and starts taking shots at the dragon. Maia rushes the dragon's legs.

You stumble and fall on the uneven ground.

Ash turns around. “Pheonixia!” He puts himself between you and the dragon's fire just as it is exhaled. Ash is blasted into the air, tumbling on the the ground.

You run over to Ash, he's covered in first to degree burns. You honestly expected worse. Resta restores him and he charges toward the dragon to join Maia. Eleanor is doing her best to find some weak spots around its face with her rifle, but the dragon seems more annoyed than anything.

The dragon sweeps with its tail. Ash and Maia are knocked back but unharmed. It takes to the air and fireballs are haphazardly dropping throughout the rotunda.

You gather all the electrical energy in the Central Dome's frame and drive it right into the dragon's spine. The sparks and arcing make and impressive display.

The Dragon is pissed. It begins a dive aimed at you and Ash.

You and Ash sidestep the dragon. It produces a deafening grinding sound as its hard scales grind against hot concrete.

Maia is not far behind with her sword, hacking away at the tail. Ash starts working at the neck. Eleanor continues taking shots from behind the dragon.

Freeze the wing joints, maybe.

Gunna end the session mid battle after next post so we can have a proper showing for finishing off the dragon. This fight seems to be dragon on.

You attempt to cast Barta, but the dragon reacts too quickly. With a flap of its wings, everyone is pushed back as the dragon takes to the air again. It flips to point its noes straight down and dives into a pool of molten metal some tens of meters away. The ground shakes beneath you.
