Huh, surprising that they keep the attack going despite the resistance. All those losses must cut into their profits. Or maybe they see it just as fewer mercenaries they have to pay?

HeroCooky said:
The Military struck hard, struck fast, and with the use of copious amounts of Lances, they managed a feat long overdue: To Kill Mother. Her corpse has already been prepared and dismembered for trophies, her hide turned into a banner, and her head and skeleton are currently being taken on a triumph around the Region. They lost a total of 31 Knights, with 24 Pilots surviving and three not expected to return to duty once more.

Lucky, one less Behemoth to worry about. We would need a Personal Action to loot the battlefield but it could be worth it.

HeroCooky said:
The Mutated are noticing the slowly relaxing social stigmas and hostility against them in nearly every facet of their life and hail Aria as the reason for that. As a result, sales of toys, puppets, and novels featuring her and PD have skyrocketed among the Mutated that can afford them, with a rising tick in Human buyers. Incidentally, your campaign has counteracted an attempt by the Neighbourhood Watchers at worsening the lives of those Mutated within Strul. However, they now have a target painted on Aria.

Aria has a few re-rolls and spends most of her time with PD, but we could look into tightening the security of the Tree.

The Empire? To the hilt. The Emperor choked on his water when he was told that the Eversun had a Civil War, and then continued to laugh until it physically hurt him when the other news arrived. He is having the time of his life right now!

Rotting Moon is just standing there like:

It is both that, and that they can fully stomach those losses with the slaves they are gaining from the conquered places.

Btw, for those interested, the Airship Section has been updated. You can have a look at what you unlocked.

Edit: I messed up the propellers, they are 6 components, not 16.

Man, those propellers are S P E E D compared to the other options, and those are just the prototype versions. Nice.

The airscrew is also nice, with a capacity of 40 components we can move a lot with just one.
 
I forgot another thang: 3d20 Recruits and 1d12 Goodwill, please and thank you.

Edit: Oh, and a 1d7.
Edit2: Nevermind, rolling self.
HeroCooky threw 3 20-faced dice. Reason: Recruits Total: 13

Also, the resource cost. They are not a big gang, not yet, so doing that sort of major operation must have cost them a pretty penny.

Now imagine all that investment went up in smoke, and they also look like bigoted morons now, all because of one girl.

Pure scooby-doo moment.

Probably need to give her a dedicated bodyguard team though, given she now has a large target over her.

If you mean the COE bible, then not until we actually share a region with them again and they are up to their old tricks.

That thing is a socio-cultural nuke, you can't put it back once people know you have it.

... Okay, what religion is what again? Because I thought the Eversun was a major supporter/loyal to the COE? In which case, translating the bible when they're in the middle of a civil war caused by the fanatics disagreeing on the interpretation of their faith whilst they're being attacked by almost all their neighbours has the potential to give us something to utterly shatter them. Which would be great.

We have the book of the church of eden, the people we kicked out of our local area who don't like mutants. They have nothing to do with the eversun, who also don't like mutants, but are even more horrific bastards.
 
Look, one horrific religion that hates mutants and needs a serious slapping looks much like another horrific religion in serious need of slapping that really hates mutants.

And then there's the neighbourhood watch, who are somehow even worse than the aforementioned two in their mutant policy, if less bad overall than Eversun who are walking warcrimes specialists.

On the Glossary info post, under General IC Information there's a list of known religions in Slatnan. The COE is listed there. Eversun is a foreign religion and probably super banned within our borders.
