Tracing the clues to the Harfeld Mansion, Winters sent Monika and the team in without disclosing the full scale of the danger, knowing they would likely die.
Searching for him, Winters discovered that anyone trying to dig up information on Firewing have either died or disappeared. After years searching Vauclair found her alive in the SOX, a radioactive fallout zone between Germany and France where her body fell. Despite the dragon's supposed death, Adrian believed that the creature still lived. The weapon that brought her down did not in fact kill her but rather separated her spirit from her body, an experience that normally kills both halves. Winters' brother Adrian Vauclair engineered the weapon that finally killed the dragon and saved Germany. Looking through Winters' records it is explained that Feuerschwinge (German for Firewing) was a great dragon that went on a rampage after awakening in 2012. They collect his records and meet a human decker by the name of Blitz who can join the team as their new decker. The team heads to Winters' apartment only to find him dead, killed in the same way Monika was. The player is voted to be the team's new leader, much to the anger of Eiger, who believes that they are to blame for Monika's death. Realizing that they were set up, the team tracks down the client who hired them, a man named Green Winters. Returning to the safe house the team is met by their Fixer Paul Amsel. The team fights off the base's security, encountering a heavily armed and armored Ork named Audran before they manage to escape. Monika mentions something called the "Feuerschwinge" before dying. The mission goes seriously wrong when the team discovers a military compound underneath the Manor and Monika is killed attempting to hack in and access the door controls. On their first mission after the player joins them the team attempts to raid a data vault inside the Harfeld Mansion outside Berlin. Other members of the team include Dietrich, a former punk rocker turned shaman Glory, a distant woman who has become heavily augmented with cybernetics and Eiger, a troll weapons expert and former member of German KSK. In the main campaign of the game's first expansion, players assume the role of a Shadowrunner who has recently arrived in the anarchic free state of Berlin to join a team headed by an old colleague, Monika Schäfer. It was originally released as downloadable content for Shadowrun Returns in February 2014.Īn expanded version was later released as a standalone game in September 2014, under the title Shadowrun: Dragonfall - Director's Cut. That said considering state of purity is so expensive and is a 'build around' power already I would lean towards allowing it to hurt spirits.Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a turn-based tactical role-playing video game developed by Harebrained Schemes set in the Shadowrun universe. While State of Purity is expensive, reducing the room for melee adepts to utilize other anti spirit abilities, letting it mangle spirits on its own vastly reduces the spirit (weapon) line of adept powers, weapon foci, and killing hands. However you could also read its fluff as making your attack mystical, in fact making it akin to a sort of 'colorless elemental body.' Like how clout is a magical attack even though it lacks an element, this is a 'clout elemental body.'īalance wise the choice isn't even clear. It could be said that it is essentially merely replacing your unarmed DV, not serving as a new mystical attack like elemental body or spirit claw, so there is a strong argument that it doesn't actually bypass ITNW. That is interesting and I wish I caught that when playtesting! "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."

Mostly the pen and paper role playing game, but also the deck building card game, video games, and literature of Shadowrun. Discussion is primarily aimed at exploring narratives found in the Sixth World. Here at /r/Shadowrun we talk shop about all things in the shadows.
