 ^Mission ^Report ^
+|**#103** \\ \\ Mar 22 2019 \\ \\ All |The preparations are complete, and the time has come. If our alliance is to survive, if all we have struggled for is not to have been in vain, if the light of civilization is ever to burn again, you must travel into space and put a stop to Copa's machinations for good. Ravens were once considered the least among us, but all now know the truth: you are the beating heart and unassailable spine of our society, and always have been. This is the Ravens' finest hour, and we salute all who choose to go. \\ \\ //The mission proceeded in three stages: first, a titan-scale brawl between a large number of attacking starman warmechs and the Goddess' Bulwark, Desperate Measures and Wizbit Skyfortress in a surprise assist. Most of this was left to the ground forces as the team launched themselves into orbit. Copa's location turned out to be a space station guarded with large numbers of laser turrets and fighters, but these were blown to bits in a brief, but fierce dogfight via the ship's onboard cannon. Finally, a ground assault against the station's inhabitants- a six-armed, no-legged species calling themselves Seraphs- granted entry to Copa's control room/prison. She was unplugged, and Alan Hale uploaded his own consciousness in her place to provide something for the remaining Seraphs to continue to "guard" and to maybe use her vast network of spy satellites for a positive purpose.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Alan Hale, Anna, Max Fontaine, Ricard, Omega 42, The Social Club, Feyna Mountain, Deathwrench. |
-|**#95** \\ \\ Jan 18 2019 \\ \\ Duchess |We've long known that Namico is built above something of a hotspot for Curdies, and some recent excavation I've been doing has uncovered the biggest nest anyone's ever seen. It won't be pleasant, but I need them cleared out. \\ \\ //Despite the exceptionally large team, nobody was keen to act overconfidently and the party spent some time setting up a system of mirrors to shine sunlight down into tge passages they were to explore. This turned out to be exceptionally fortuitous when a huge, cancerous curdie mass was discovered acting as a primitive hivemind and birthing more by the minute. Bright light kept it on the defensive while the team threw everything it had at tge creature until it was destroyed.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Willy Wizbit, Oswald Martin, Feyna Mountain, Danger Zone, Omega 42, Where The Water Goes, Cruz, Rex. |
+|**#102** \\ \\ Mar 15 2019 \\ \\ Hierophant |I have received knowledge of a large stash of specialized equipment that you will undoubtedly find useful in a future mission. The downside is that it's all sitting in a mistblade lair in the mountains of the far south. \\ \\ //An unusual approach was used to get into the mistblade lair: Oswald recognized one of them, whom he had previously met in the Manifest and shared an interest in kinkiness with. With a little bit of schmooze and a lot of bribery, the party was given limited access and allowed to remove the Hierophant's treasure: a huge cache of spacesuits and zero-gravity gear. As a bonus, they also brought back a massage-bot because why not?// \\ \\ **The Team:** Oswald Martin, Danger Zone, Omega 42. |
+|**#101** \\ \\ Mar 1 2019 \\ \\ Magister |We've cooperated with Channel 5 to create a launch site out in the forest, which predictably has caused Channel 8 to declare them heretics and defilers. They're sending a sizable force to destroy it, and your job is to put up convincing resistance when you let them. \\ \\ //The team employed a straightforward skirmishing retreat tactic. The launch site was destroyed as per instruction.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Deathwrench, Feyna Mountain, Omega 42, Ricard. |
+|**#100** \\ \\ Feb 22 2019 \\ \\ Duchess |An artillery battery we installed in Black Rocks territory had successfully repelled another starman mech, but then the Penthousers destroyed it and every soldier we had operating it with their superior firepower. Now they've claimed the mech's remains. We cannot afford to let this happen again. \\ \\ //The team was minimal, but the destruction was anything but. By walking on the ocean's bottom the team avoided being targeted by any artillery shells from the Penthouser's tower, and a quick round of intimidation and bluster convinced the sentries they encountered to take them directly to the chief. While riding the elevator to the top they blew it up (alongside the dozen guards sent as escort), followed by a pitched battle on the rooftop against the Penthouser's chieftain Horizon Watcher. With no elevator to take them back down again and a huge, hostile crowd below them anyway, they elected for a different exit: shooting themselves out of the cannon and letting it all explode behind them.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Alan Hale, Willy Wizbit. |
+|**#99** \\ \\ Feb 15 2019 \\ \\ Hierophant |I am disturbed by your reports of a, quote, "titty-maggot demon keeping the Weepers in torment forever." The Weepers have never done anything for us, but decency demands we not turn a blind eye to their suffering. Descend into the earth again and destroy the source of their misery. \\ \\ //On their way to one boss fight, the team stumbled across another: the cthonic dream-demon they had inadvertently awoken during their last visit to those tunnels. They dove into the manifest and slew it in a fierce battle, then pushed forward and destroyed their original target in another battle no less fierce. Back-to-back boss fight champions!// \\ \\ **The Team:** Omega 42, Danger Zone, Ricard, Alan Hale. |
+|**#98** \\ \\ Feb 8 2019 \\ \\ Duchess |I've heard tell of an ancient ship made all of stone and metal sunk far off the coast. A team of divers has been assembled to raise it from the deep, but they'll need protection. Retrieving this vessel is of key importance. \\ \\ //As it turns out, the ancient ship was made for traversing space, not the sea. Also, the reason it wasn't buried despite being many millenia old was because it was serving as a shell for a truly enormous hermit crab that scuttled away with it on its back. The team managed to fabricate the crab a new, roomier shell from the broken remnants of the Bighead mothership, which it swapped to after a bit of hesitation. Win-win.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Feyna Mountain, Omega 42, Oswald Martin, Where The Water Goes. |
+|**#97** \\ \\ Feb 1 2019 \\ \\ Hierophant |We've revealed the existence of another deity slumbering deep under the earth, one with a very intriguing sphere of influence. Locate and awaken her. \\ \\ //The journey under the earth was a long one with many side-distractions including a lying trog, a lost city filled with grues and weepers, and a great cathedral housing a titty-maggot demon of the ancient world providing the Weepers with the addictive milk of cursed immortality. All of these things were regretfully bypassed for now and in time, the end goal was reached: Tamriem the Goddess of Travel was resurrected and several of the team volunteered to be among her first clergy.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Feyna Mountain, Alan Hale, Omega 42, Deathwrench, Ricard, Danger Zone. |
+|**#96** \\ \\ Jan 25 2019 \\ \\ Hierophant |We've seen splashdown off the coast, which means the Starmen have sent their first landing crew. Plan A isn't ready yet, so I need you to rush to Labyrinth and inform Dr Hanz. He'll tell you what to do next. \\ \\ //Labyrinth was already being attacked by  a twelve-story wooden warmech when the team arrived. They managed to sneak past it and contacted Dr. Hanz, who unveiled the Plan B he'd been working on: an equally-large abomination called the Desperate Measures controlled via a cockpit in its exposed skull. The team drove it outside and battled three starman warmechs at once with the help of a coastal battery cannon, finally pinning the last long enough to slip into an air vent in its back and battle its crewbeasts up to the pilot's chamber in the cranium. With a little quick thinking and a LOT of luck, the starman pilot was convinced to surrender and the final warmech was captured largely undamaged.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Feyna Mountain, Oswald Martin, Omega 42. |
+|**#95** \\ \\ Jan 18 2019 \\ \\ Hierophant |We've long known that Namico is built above something of a hotspot for Curdies, and some recent excavation I've been doing has uncovered the biggest nest anyone's ever seen. It won't be pleasant, but I need them cleared out. \\ \\ //Despite the exceptionally large team, nobody was keen to act overconfidently and the party spent some time setting up a system of mirrors to shine sunlight down into tge passages they were to explore. This turned out to be exceptionally fortuitous when a huge, cancerous curdie mass was discovered acting as a primitive hivemind and birthing more by the minute. Bright light kept it on the defensive while the team threw everything it had at the creature until it was destroyed.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Willy Wizbit, Oswald Martin, Feyna Mountain, Danger Zone, Omega 42, Where The Water Goes, Cruz, Rex. |
 |**#94** \\ \\ Jan 11 2019 \\ \\ Duchess |The lawless situation in the homelands has given rise to a new breed of pirate- the extremely well-funded kind. There have been sightings of a royal galleon with a full battery of cannon flying a black flag and preying exclusively on Namico shipping. Regardless of birth or background, pirates are scum and will face justice. \\ \\ //A front-on assault was considered a bad idea by pretty much anyone, so the party decided to use their favorite tactic: subterfuge and trickery. Connections and a carefully-seeded reputation got them on board peacefully, where they convinced the foppish Captain Nougat to split his forces. This made it easy to impersonate him, take control of his golems, and order them to slaughter the rest of his crew in small manageable chunks before bashing themselves to bits. Nougat's funding turned out to be coming directly from Patriarch Diet Root Beer IV, which is a sobering thought.// \\ \\ **The Team:** Alan Hale, Max Fontaine, Tatia, Feyna Mountain, The Social Club. |
 |**#93** \\ \\ Nov 16 2018 \\ \\ Hierophant |I need a very large engine for a matter of national security, the kind that's way beyond our understanding to make. Coordinate with This One Leads From The Front to retrieve one from the wreckage of Grandmother's old fortress in the mountains. \\ \\ //The site had been occupied by a band of Bigheads that had found an alternate source of nutrition other than conversion worms: other Bigheads. The cannibal clan had grown twisted and strange with their close proximity to the buried engine and the strange energy it produces, but equal parts hand-to-hand combat and artillery strikes cleared them out (although not before poor Nosy lost her head). // \\ \\ **The Team:** Deathwrench, Plasma Viper, <del>Nosy Manhunter</del>, The Social Club, Frank the Tank. |
