“Wolverine Style is Anything Goes. It is pure brutal mastery of unarmed combat in all styles and forms. It is the art of fighting unarmed, as opposed to the art of using the Phoenix Claw, you understand? Hands, feet, fists, kicks, head, elbows, knees; wrench, bite, gouge, rip, tear... you use it all. It has no form because it uses whatever needs to be used. It is pure unbridled ferocity! “You apply that to a Sword, and you have to be able to use a Sword in whatever way is needed to win. Adhering to…-

With cheers from the crowd, they were off. Edward’s feet were trailing flame as he powered forward, and as he did he moved diagonally at the same time. He threaded between Milty and Harris, then reversed back between the startled Kasper as if inertia wasn’t a thing; bounced off nothing in front of flaxen-haired Niorn; zipped sideways in front of the tall and lanky Jason, and slapped Sama’s hands two strides ahead of the sprinting Thomas, making it look easy. Thomas almost crashed into the padded…

His name was Edward Freundul, a smiling and cheerful fellow eternally fighting chubbiness, with ruddy cheeks and a happy-go-lucky attitude. His father ran a well-known high-end machining company supplying parts for Gritworks Firearms, and had made quite a fortune off the demand for high-end firearms there. His son’s spiritual bias was definitely with the freewheeling flamer set, but Fire was based on Charisma and Dexterity, and Eddie’s highest Stats were in Strength and Con at 15 each, by her eyeball.…

“So, Sama, tell me what happened up north, and in Nashville, would you?” Sama knocked back a drink of something that could peel paint, a hard light winking on in her eyes. She took a moment to answer me, arranging her thoughts. “Fucking Fey. Fucking Weres. Fucking Hags and Warlocks, the lot of them.” Her blue eyes glittered with the promise of storms coming... or maybe that had already come, and were still raging. “How much do you know?” “I know Wakefield in the U-P was wiped off the map,…

Everyone knew we were going to be heading back after this kill, simply because of how much there was. I had to spin up another Helix alerted everyone that we’d killed it, and when they demanded proof, posted the vids and us carving it apart. Sama was murderously fast at it, and even The Mick was impressed by how fast she could take apart a physical body so cleanly. She sent him to watching the rice and dicing the dragon meat to boil with spices and such, calling out instructions to him every so often…

“Seventeen hundred hours of rep counts for one Meta? Seventy days worth of time?” She rolled her eyes. “Okay, you have the fun toys, but that just sounds colossally boring, and I can Meditate endlessly if I have to.” “Yes, but Meditation doesn’t have any negative modifiers. Rep Counts for Weirding stuff have a Concentration Check affected by fatigue modifiers, which can grow VERY quickly, you can’t just Cast-and-forget. The Concentration check to do that for a +9 is a base 38.” “That…

“It really does make Leveling a pain, but Briggs and I always have someplace to put Karma,” she smirked. “So, this has been nice. If we go to the Pole with you, that sounds like good fun, too.” “I’m thinking of having Sir Pellier take over and organize a troop to start clearing a Shroudzone officially. We need a major revenue source for the Amulets and to make appropriate Weapons, but we secured that with the gemstones.” I could literally make a goldweight in gemstones a minute, if that’s…

The other teams out here were soon tracking our progress, by dint of the fact that everywhere we went, everything died. Having the Obelisk with us to serve as a relay for our phones meant we could check in at the various stations and receive updates. Twice we got calls for help, zipped over within ten minutes, and pounded and extinguished our way through a besieged situation where a kill-team was bottled up in a canyon or atop a hill and surrounded by a legion of fiery creatures... and attracting…

Standard gunpowder Weapons were used VERY carefully in this area, as the ammunition attracted hungry attention. Ammunition going off could literally ‘explode’ an Elemental into a size increase, while probably killing the hapless shooter carrying the stuff. This meant the Firezone had a lot of Powered around, since normal soldiers with guns couldn’t do the job, roving the fringes and looking for Fireborn. Fireborn intelligent troops were known to carry Firemetals and magical Gear, as well as other…
