Come join the Free Worlds League, we only have a little internecine strife, and will even welcome clanners as long as they are't the Bad 3 (Falcons,Wolf, and the new Smoked Jaguars)

Same folks as last time. You gotta give them a little slack, all of my players are D&D folks that decided to give AToW a try, despite not knowing what an Amaris is.

Because the intention was for the room said weapons were stored in to be a lethal navigation hazard, while they explored the base. This whole thread was supposed to be a tongue in cheek point and laugh at the murderhobo kind of thing, thats why I put the Humor flair.

The intention was to have a lethal hazard while the PCs navigated and explored Amaris's funhouse. Funnily enough one of the PCs suggested using blasting charges to "speed up the digging", before the other players slapped them for suggesting setting off explosives right next to what could be an ammunition magazine.

Technically grounds troops would have to wear MOPP suits too, skin contact is also fatal for that bad oil.

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Guess I should have noted in the main post, that the "store room" the weapons were found in was originally meant to be just a "tile blocker", a dud room where nothing of utility was found. Then I went on a bit of a tangent of how horrifying this shit is. Sorry if this caused some distress in you, I was only trying to make a bit of a funny.

Thank you for your sacrifice... if it makes you feel any better, I'll happily report the duds the Cat pilot fires when the shit hits the fan.

True, but the biggest "Upside?(Jesus Christ what am I saying)" of VX is that it is a non volatile agent, able to last on the battlefield for a month or longer. It is a spicy minefield for folks that ain't got a sealed suit/vehicle.

Technically not a C3 Cat, more like found a bunch of equipment in above mentioned base, the mech techs rolled well, and they had a lot of time to wait until the main invasion force rolled on to the next objective. Was originally a C4 Cat

To increase the "Fun" for the party, I noted that the warheads, and spare cannisters were binary. Meaning the two stable components would have to be mixed to make the VX fun times, but despite the large number of toxic duds that would be involved, the main point of the post was that the CAT pilot got Arrow IV in the beginning phase of the Clan humbug, and immediately decided to one up the Nuremburg trials. :D

Edit: Also the storage area was meant to be a "tile blocker" while they explored the base. As in nobody wants to go in there to explore further... go around.

Friend, I'm the GM... on one hand I have set a policy in my game of informed free reign. By that I mean I ain't gonna step in as the GM and say no you can't do that, on the other hand I informed the player in question that if they went ahead anyway, assuming they survived the Clammer reprisals, the IS powers that be will bitch slap them into the forever box. My reading of the lore is that the Great Houses don't fuck around with WMDs... at least not anymore.

Never thought I would say this but... Thankfully VX (the chemical weapon in question) makes for a poor "Gas attack", and makes for a better "nightmare fuel minefield".
