Encounter Conditions
Start a target test on the HKGames Helmet
Text
All encounters take the following format:
Image of 1-5 gems, from among the following:
A strange, computerized gem appears floating in your path. Mostly hidden behind it, you can see text reading "Target Test - Load Complete."
<You take out the gems message>
And then, without Steady Hand:
Eventually fatigue gets the better of you and the text twists to display "Test Complete - Reloading."And then, with Steady Hand:
You maintain a steady pace far after what a normal human could manage. It seems almost effortless after a while, leaving you to wait until the text changes to "Test Aborting - Error 18."You've earned some XP in Perception
The message and XP gained depends on the number of unique (different) Ranged techniques in your deck:
| Techniques | Message | XP |
|---|---|---|
| 0-1 | [1 gem image] You take the gems out one at a time as target practice, but can't handle much more than that. | 1 XP |
| 2 | 2 XP | |
| 3 | [2 gem image] You take out one or two gems at a time as target practice. It's not even too hard to keep up with the game's first few tricks. | 3 XP |
| 4 | 4 XP | |
| 5-7 | [3 gem image] You easily adapt to the game's rules, taking out several gems, sometimes even two in one shot. | 5 XP |
| 8-12 | 6 XP | |
| 13-19 | [4 gem image] You devestate the game with your technical wizardry, taking out swathes of gems with generous bursts, then picking off the awkward remainders with carefully aimed shots. | 7 XP |
| 20-28? | 8 XP | |
| 29+ | [5 gem image]? Untested? | 9 XP |
If you have Steady Hand, you gain +3 XP.
