26 Dey, 1346: A Gendarmerie patrol is ambushed by armed militants while on patrol in Rasht county and three gendarmes are killed. Sazman-e Enqelab-e Hezb-e Tudeh (The Revolutionary Organization of the Tudeh Party), a Maoist militant group, claims credit through their international student wing.
28 Dey-12 Bahman, 1346: Artesh’s Gilan Province Territorial Command deploys over 2,000 troops of the Gendarmerie and Special Forces Brigade to the Rasht area to hunt the perpetrators. After two weeks, the troops kill six militants and capture a further three in their forest hideout, together with a significant supply of automatic weapons almost certainly stolen from the army or obtained from corrupt or sympathizing soldiers.
20 Bahman, 1346: The insurgents are tried in a closed court session by a military tribunal, found guilty of treason, and sentenced to death. Despite the supposedly secret nature of the proceedings, a large crowd of leftist university students gathers outside the military compound. The MPs fire a volley of rubber bullets to disperse the crowd, injuring three (according to the government) or eleven (according to the student union).
2 Esfand, 1346: A militant attempts to assassinate Colonel Sadegh Mahmoudi, (falsely) rumored to be the chief prosecutor for Artesh in the “Rasht incident” case. The assassin puts two bullets in the Colonel’s side before being killed by his bodyguards, but the Colonel survives. No organization claims credit.

19 Favardin, 1347: The Tehran Shahrbani’s counterror unit raids an apartment in the vicinity of Tehran Polytechnic, arresting three bombing suspects. The apartment supposedly is found to contain Marxist literature and bomb-making materials.
> The years of 1963-1967 saw steadily escalating leftist guerilla activity in Iran. The reversal of the Shah’s most controversial policies and the halting steps towards full constitutional rule had left most Iranians at least content enough to stay off the streets. Of the key elements of Iran’s ever-volatile urban areas, most had little to gain from overt revolutionary activity. For the bazaaris, the

I was reading about temporis on VDAv20 and found that you can use some of the powers as "reflexive defensive actions" i know one reflexive action does not take a turn and can be used immediately. The question is can you use it (considering that you have to use blood and make a roll for it) and still dodge as an reflexive action? Would you need to use multiple actions system and split the pool? Or you are just unable to do it cause is a discipline that needs a roll, even if it is reflexive.
“War is the Dominion in its purest, most beautiful form” -Legatus Vasistos during the Dominion-Conclave border skirmish of Lofn-superior
Quaestor Iphelia looked at her data tabula as she moved briskly down the line of newly acquired helots. The subjects in question had been the ones not lucky enough to flee into the savanna. As a Quaestor it was her job to evaluate how much value the Dominion could salvage from each one. That is, of course, if there was any to even be recovered.
Passing the stylus between her clawed fingers, she gazed upwards from the tabula to the chained, quaking helot before her. The insect-like creature's small eyes darted around in fear, shaking in nervous dread. Her judgment was quick, it had to be: for there were many helots, yet few Quaestors to match.
“Weak, but still able-bodied enough for labor. To the mines.” On her tabula, she marked off another for the mines as legionarius approached from behind. They shoved the creature, manhandling it before guiding it off to another group that was to be fed to the machine of industry. Moving on to the next alien in line, she came to what she assumed to be a mother clutching her child. Iphelia looked the alien up and down, from top to bottom.
“Average build, manual labor. Hold the child, however.” She noted the helot’s new destination on her tabula and waved over two legionarii to separate the two. The child was pulled from the creature's hands by a legionarius while the other shoved her off towards the mining group. The alien began to wail and reach for her child. The legionarius pushed her along, slamming her pilum into the alien's head. The victim fell to the ground, a gash on the side of her head from where the weapon had struck her.
“Get the fuck up and move!” Yelled the Legionarius, grabbing at the creature's neck and trying to pull it to its feet. The alien moved along the ground quickly until it was presented to Iphelia. The alien raised its chained hands and yelled in what Iphelia could only assume was begging. It gestured to its kin, still held in the hands of another Legionarius. Iphelia looked at the groveling alien, holding its chained hands out to her before it was kicked in the side by the angry legionarius.
“Calm down, we can’t have you breaking the new helots already.” The Legionarius looked over to the bored Quaestor and stepped back from the groveling alien. Iphelia looked back to the wailing child and pulled up her tabula evaluating the child. “It

Under a leaden sky
“To think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds which we can never reach. I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far.”
Navarch Thessalonike glanced at the screen displaying the planet, Nypso she believed its native inhabitants called it. The name was not relevant and soon enough it would bear a new one of her choosing. She smiled at the thought once the Two Cohorts they had deployed to the surface finished ‘clearing’ the site she and her officers had chosen for settlement she would be able to properly stake her claim to the area. Her mind wandered to the planet's natural beauty beautiful golden savannas as far as the eye could see lush jungles and wonderful coastlines. Bringing her cigarette to her lips and inhaling.
“If only the natives were as pleasing to look at.”
Thinking back to the images the drones had shown of Nypsos’s current inhabitant's strange insect looking things with four arms a brownish yellow carapace and beady yellow eyes. “Repulsive,” she said out loud shivering slightly before turning away from the screen “Scipio how is the clearing operation going?” She directed her question to the Oracles podium next to her before it flickered to life displaying the construct's avatar. the small figure looked up at her and replied in a satisfied tone.
“The legionarii are making quick work of the natives Navarch the initial landing site should be clear in an hour or so.” A small smile graced her lips
“Good,” was all that followed.
“I was expecting a bit more of a challenge,” said Thitix firing his Pilum at one of the fleeing creature's boredom clear in his voice.
“I can’t imagine how you expected that,” retorted Avita sliding another charge pack into her Pilum before firing more bolts at the fleeing creatures. Avita smirked as she scored a few good hits on the fleeing bugs. The woman groaned inwardly at the heat as she felt the sweat pooling on her brows threatening to run into her eyes and wished that she could take off her mask and wipe her brow, but she knew better than to take a risk like that. Thitix looked over and grinned underneath his mask at his lover’s discomfort. Even though his mask filter, he could smell her sweat and his thoughts became lecherous. Avita glanced over at him and noticed the rigid posture. She’d known him and his race long enough to know that Human sweat functioned as something of an a

The Leaden Rule for the Types
1 - Fearing that they may be evil, corrupt, or defective in some way, Ones point out evil, corruption and defectiveness in others.
2 - Fearing that they are unwanted and unloved, Twos make others feel unworthy of their love, generosity, or attention.
3 - Fearing that they are worthless and without value in themselves. Threes make others feel valueless by treating them arrogantly or with contempt.
4 - Fearing that they do not have an identity or any personal significance of their own. Fours treat people disdainfully, as if others were "nobodies" and had no value or significance.
5 - Fearing that they are without support or guidance, Fives make others feel helpless, incompetent, stupid, and incapable.
6 - Fearing that they are without support or guidance, Sixes undermine the support systems of others, trying to isolate them in some fashion.
7 - Fearing that they are trapped in pain and deprivation of some sort, Sevens cause pain and make others feel deprived in various ways.
8 - Fearing that they will be harmed or controlled by others, Eights make others fear that they will be harmed or controlled by their belligerent and intimidating threats.
9 - Fearing that they will suffer loss of connection with others. Nines make others feel that they have lost connection with the Nine by "tuning out" people in various ways.
3D or 2D is fine with me, thanks in advance :)
On the 4th update if you type coop in the console 2 player spawns does anybody know how to control it
Affix that makes you clear the mage quarter with WALKING SPEED is the dumbest shit ever.. Out of all the quarter this is legit one of the worst ones to put it in.. you are combat 24/7 due to patrols and that last boss that teleports around and forces you to make melee contact to interrupt it? na.. get the fuck out of here with this garbage and play test your shit before shipping it.
Echoes of a lonesome fire,
Brew in me an archaic desire,
Glittering in the firmament of life,
A pillar of magic, daughter of strife,
I call upon the first stars; and sink
Into the leaden hours, shadowed-
Time and torment dearest friends
Poems, perhaps I was never destined for them
They are grotesque, unfurling, unhinged;
And I have never known the thunder.
Yet this whirlwind of gold and light,
Its breaths remains unchanging-
Clasps into my everything
If I could live in one second of life forever,
It would be the first shiver of twilight;
Milky, lovely, longing-and together we would dance.
Among faded hopes extinguished
Into the weary constellations afar, askance
And in my heart's last hour, I would pluck every flower
Of a wish tucked within me; and calling upon
The twilights song, let the heavens stir my destiny
In Kana's quest, I think what you're supposed to do after completing it is to take the master staircase to level 1, at which point you are ambushed by the Leaden Key. But when I did the quest, I just did what I always did and took the master staircase all the way to the surface, to outside the keep, so I didn't see these guys until I went to do the Adra Dragon quest and I took the master staircase to level 1 in order to place the amulet. Then I got this encounter for a quest that I thought was completely finished ages ago. If they had been programmed to be able to meet me outside the keep, I would have fought them right after completing Time and Tide. Aside from the Adra Dragon quest, there isn't really a reason to ever go back to level 1 after clearing it, unless you want to take a scenic trip through the dungeons or something. Just a thought.
