MEMO · HEAD OFFICE TO: New management RE: Your first day

Now accepting contracts

Bramblewick has a monster problem, and monster problems are billable. Pick a contract off the board, choose who goes, and watch them work.

Your staff swing, shoot and spray on their own. You make the calls that matter: who to hit first, when to fire a special, when someone needs a plaster. Then you get paid, promote, and take a harder job.

On site

Real screenshots. The crew fights on its own; you call the shots.

Meet the staff

Fully insured. Mostly. Each one comes in standard issue, and a second Skin changes how they fight.

Fire Warden

Sir Bastian Kell

Health & Safety Officer

Certified in Advanced Threat Containment and, separately, in Ladder Use. Always first on site, because incidents must be supervised.

Fire Warden: a chilled fire axe, thrown. Hits may Freeze; Extinguisher Bash shatters the frozen.

Hot Streak

Nia Fletch

Performance Analyst

Keeps a private spreadsheet of every shot she has taken. Prefers targets that are already injured: finishing a job is measurably more efficient.

Hot Streak: incendiary arrows. Useless against anything fireproof.

Heat Treatment

Ossie Crane

Pest Control Technician

Treats every entity on site as a pest and has a canister for each. Has asked whether the client counts. Has been asked to wait until after invoicing.

Heat Treatment: a heat gun, which he describes as a treatment. Burn instead of Poison.

Lenny Voss

Electrician

Inspects every site's wiring before its entities, and finds most of it was never earthed. He is usually right, which nobody enjoys.

Second Skin: in the paperwork. Facilities say it is coming soon.

The job list

A few of the entities on file. Most of them have been reported more than once.

Quarry Trow

Very large, very old and made of the quarry. The rocks are reported to have thrown themselves.

Hedge Bull

A working animal gone wrong. Armoured, slow and loose on the haul road. It has not noticed the fence.

Storm Crow

Fast, charged and hard to hit. Leaves when approached, and always in the same direction.

Mycelium Warden

One of the mushrooms appears to be looking after the others. It has no qualifications and a great deal of confidence.

Frost Moth

A moth with a serious cooling problem. Not native to Bramblewick, not in season, and very cold in a particular direction.

Ember Newt

A newt that is on fire and does not mind. Fireproof, which the smith would like noted.

Gutter Imp

Nests in gutters and shoots at whoever is least able to absorb it. Takes its time over a heavy one. It aims first.

Puffcap

Bursts when disturbed. The client has asked us not to disturb it. We have explained the job.
