Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
 The invasion of Earth told in previous tales of
Torg took place on one version of our world.
The High Lords there were successful for many
years, but were eventually stopped by the planet's
valiant Storm Knights.
But there are infinite versions of our world.
This is a tale of a different Earth...
One where things did not go as well...
They came from other cosmsother realities
conquerors joined together to steal the Earth's living
energyto consume its possibilities. The Possibility
Raiders brought with them their own realities,
turning portions of our planet into someplace else.
Led by a mysterious and ancient individual
known only as the Gaunt Man, the High Lords
each claimed a piece of Earth for themselves. Each
has established his or her primitive, pulp, dark
fantasy, cyberpapacy, high tech, or horror realm on
our world, setting the conquest in motion.
In some realities, the raiders encountered stiff
resistance from the residents of Earth and defenders
full of Possibility Energy, the "Storm Knights."
They rose up against the Gaunt Man and his allies,
battling back with the full fury of their will and
eventually overthrowing the invaders.
But this is not one of those realities. In this reality,
in this time, the High Lords are winning.
THE HIGH LORDS
Earth is under attack by invaders from other
realitiesother "cosms." Each cosm reflects a
different reality, such as a grim world of classic
horror, a lush primeval world of savagery, or even
a fantastic realm of swords and sorcerers.
The High Lords prepared for the invasion of Core
Earth for years before their arrival, using ancient
relics called "Darkness Devices" to enter our world
and flood our reality with theirs.
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
Their cosms' influence must be supported by
"stelae." These markers bind and support the
invaders' realities, slowly transforming Earth to
the host's environment and bleeding Earth of its
precious Possibility Energy.
Humans living in these transformed zones
eventually become alternate versions of themselves.
A cashier in the Living Land, for example, might
become a hunter in the primitive world North
America has become.
THE TORG
Why are the Possibility Raiders here? Most
already rule their own cosms, so why risk it all to
invade a realm across reality itself? Legend has it
that whoever becomes the ultimate conqueror will
merge his consciousness with his or her Darkness
Device and ascend in power to a legendary being
called the "Torg." It is an ancient word stretching
back to the beginning of everything, and it is
likely even the High Lords themselves don't truly
understand its meaning. But they are greedy, selfish
beings, and it is the bright diamond in the sky they
desire with all their black hearts. They will have it,
and will destroy nations, lives, and even worlds if
they must to attain it.
STORM KNIGHTS
But there is hope. Some beings have the ability to
resist the invading realities, to innately control the
reality within and around themselves. These men
and women are called Storm Knights, and they are
the Earth's only chance at salvation.
The world's conventional armies, agents, and
ordinary men and women fight the crucial war
against the invaders' minions, but only Storm
Knights can inspire the masses to makeand
keepEarth's precious Possibility Energy. With
great success, they can destroy the stelae, repel the
High Lords, and return the land to is normal state.
3
 CORE EARTH
The Earth of Torg Eternity is much like our own.
Magic, miracles, and monsters exist here, however,
and "Core Earth" is also more action-oriented and
cinematic. Heroes can do and survive incredible
feats that might kill a person in more grounded
versions of Earth.
Most importantly, and the reason the reality
raiders chose this planet, is that Earth is rich in
Possibilities. This is the energy High Lords covet,
but it also floods into certain people and changes
them into Storm Knights.
THE LIVING LAND
High Lord Baruk Kaah, a lizard-like humanoid
from a world called Takta Ker (which literally
translates to "The Living Land"), rules a primeval,
mist-shrouded realm that now stretches across
wide swaths of North America.
It is filled with dense jungles, erupting volcanoes,
sheer cliffs, and the ruins of lost worlds. Creatures
resembling those of Earth's prehistoric epochs fill
the jungles and skies.
Baruk Kaah's people are the edeinos, and they
have come for blood. Within the Living Land
4
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
spiritual energy is power. The edeinos' goddess of
life, Lanala, walks among her people. Technology,
on the other hand, hasn't progressed much beyond
the Stone Age.
Where the Living Land spreads, miracles are
common but advanced weapons rust away. New
York was hit in the opening hours of the invasion,
and is now overgrown with vegetation and filled
with the cries of marauding dinosaurs.
THE SCENARIO
The player characters in this adventure were
ordinary people in New York on the day Baruk
Kaah and his edeinos came. A maelstrom bridge
crashed down from Takta Ker into Queens, and
when it landed New York began to transform.
The characters are in Battery Park, at the southern
tip of Manhattan, and have just survived a
horrifying attack by the Living Land equivalent
of a Tyrannosaurus Rex! During the assault, each
hero tried to help others or fight back in some way.
This triggered a "moment of crisis" and changed
them into Storm Knights.
Now these newly created Storm Knights must
navigate the dangers of transformed New York,
and help others survive the day.
 Most of the time, players simply say what they
want their character to do and it happens. If there's

 extra consequences to a Mishap. This is explained
in the particular section whenever necessary. If
multiple conditions apply, they all trigger on any
Mishap. Mishaps triggered by a natural roll of 2, 3,
or 4 may be successful if the total is high enough (or
more likely, Possibilities are spent), but the action
still triggers any applicable Mishap consequences.
SUCCESS LEVELS
A total that equals the DN is a success, but higher
totals often grant extra effects. If the final total is at
least five points over the DN, the character has a
Good success. If it's at least 10 points over the DN,
it's an Outstanding success. Generally, we only
care if a result is equal to or more than the DN, five
or more points over the DN, or 10 or more points
over the DN.
SUCCESS LEVELS
Result Points Success
04 Standard
59 Good
10+ Outstanding
POSSIBILITIES
Storm Knights, Stormers, and some creatures have
Possibilities they can use to enhance their chances
of success. Player characters refresh up to three
Possibilities at the start of each act (more if they
have certain Perks).
Any time a character attempts an action, the player
can spend a Possibility to roll another die and add
it to the die roll. Only one Possibility may be spent
per action. Possibility Energy is potent, so any die
roll of less than 10 is ignored and is treated as 10
instead (though without a further reroll).
ACTIONS
Combat rounds in Torg Eternity are 10 seconds
long. During that time, each character can move
and perform actions on her turn.
Movement
Characters may move up to their Dexterity in
meters each round. They may also run up to 8
6
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
their current Dexterity but this inflicts a 2 penalty
to all other tests performed that turn. Movement is
not an actionit's simply part of the hero's turn.
Actions
Actions include tasks such as making an attack or
attempting an interaction. Generally, anything that
requires a die roll is an action. Heroes may attempt
multiple actions on their turnsee Multi-Actions
on page 10.
Simple Actions: Some activities, such as talking,
flipping a switch, or drawing a weapon, are
"simple" actions. A character may usually do one
or two simple actions on his turn (Game Master's
call).
INTERACTION ATTACKS
Interaction attacks are those designed to unbalance,
tire out, or maneuver a foe into a bad situation,
reducing his effectiveness or making him more
open to harm.
Interaction attacks use one of the following skills:
intimidation, maneuver, taunt, or trick. The DN of the
attack is the foe's matching skill, or linked attribute
if he doesn't have it. The DN to use intimidation,
for example, is the foe's intimidation, or Spirit if he
doesn't have intimidation.
Interaction Effects
If an interaction attack is successful, the attacker
chooses one effect (Stymied or Vulnerable) with
a Standard success and two effects with a Good
result. The attacker can mix and stack these results
however he wants, but no foe can ever suffer
from more than two of each typecalled "Very
Vulnerable" or "Very Stymied."
An Outstanding success also allows the attacker
to dictate another effect, called a "Player's Call"
(though it applies to nonplayer character attackers
as well).
Here's what each effect means:
Stymied: The foe suffers 2 to all actions until
the end of his next turn, or 4 if Very Stymied.
Additional Stymied results have no further
effect.
 Vulnerable: Actions taken directly against Ranged Attacks

To make a physical attack, a character tests for a

7
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
 Another way to figure the damage result is
that every five points of damage over a target's
Toughness causes a Wound and two Shock. Attacks
below Toughness (but within 5 points) cause 1
Shock, and attacks that equal or exceed Toughness
but don't cause a Wound cause 2 Shock.
Example: Aidan punches an edeinos for
12 damage. The edeinos's Toughness is 12.
That's not enough to cause a Wound, but the
lizard man still takes 2 Shock.
Shock
Shock is stress and minor physical injuries. When
a character suffers Shock beyond his maximum
(usually equal to his Spirit) he's Knocked Out
(see below). Additional Shock beyond this limit is
ignored.
Knocked Out: If a character is Knocked Out
(KO'ed) from Shock or other circumstances, he's
unconscious and out of the fight for 30 minutes
or until the end of the scene (GM's call). He may
also be revived with a successful first aid test (see
below). A KO'ed character regains Shock normally.
Example: Aidan's Spirit is 9. When he takes
nine Shock, he's Knocked Out (KO'ed) and
ignores any further Shock.
Wounds
Serious injury and trauma are collectively called
Wounds. When a character suffers more than his
maximum Wounds (usually three) he must test
Death & Defeat (see below). Don't track Wounds
beyond the character's maximum. If he would
take another Wound, he must test Death & Defeat
again instead.
Ordinary men and women are out of the fight
with a single Wound. They aren't necessarily dead,
they're just wounded enough that they can't go on,
unconscious, or simply slink away to nurse their
wounds (if the attackers let them).
Stormers and Storm Knights can take three
Wounds before a fourth takes them out. Very tough
individuals and monsters might be able to take five
or more Wounds before they're defeated.
8
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
First Aid: After a battle a first aid test wakes up
a KO'ed character and restores one Wound on a
standard success, two on a Good success, and three
if Outstanding. Only the first attempt counts.
Wound Penalties: Characters suffer a 1 penalty
to all tests for each Wound suffered (to a maximum
of 3 regardless of how many Wounds they can
take). Wounds also apply to first aid attempts to
help the character.
Example: Aidan is a Storm Knight and so
can take three Wounds with penalties, then
on a fourth he must test Death & Defeat. An
edeinos warrior is out of the fight if it takes a
single Wound.
SOAKING DAMAGE
A Storm Knight can use Possibilities to negate
Wounds and Shock. To Soak damage, the injured
character spends a Possibility and makes a reality
test immediately after the damage is determined
but before it actually takes effect.
The DN is Standard (10), and negates the following
injuries:
Standard: One Wound and all Shock.
Good: Two Wounds and all Shock.
Outstanding: All Wounds and Shock.
Restoring Shock
Shock fades after an encounter unless conditions
would prevent rest. When the game is in rounds
(such as during combat, a chase, or Dramatic Skill
Resolution), a character may sacrifice an entire
turn to recover 2 Shock (no movement or other
actions are allowed while Recovering). Recovery
isnt possible while engaged in melee, so find
someplace safe!
DEATH & DEFEAT
When a character suffers Wounds equal to his
maximum, he must make an immediate Strength
or Spirit test (whichever is lowest). If the test fails
he dies. He immediately gets one final, dramatic
action before shedding the mortal coil. He may
ignore his Wound penalties for this last heroic
effort. If the test succeeds he's KO'ed.
 SELECTED COMBAT &
ACTION OPTIONS
Below are a few of the most common combat
options heroes can use to fight the High Lords.
All-Out Attack
A desperate, furious melee weapons or unarmed
combat attack increases the attack total by +4. This
leaves the attacker exposed and off-balance, so he
automatically becomes Vulnerable until the end of
his next turn.
Combined Actions
If multiple characters attempt an action, you can
use this shortcut. This is particularly useful when
rolling nonplayer character attacks versus the
heroes.
Each group rolls a single test; pick one character
to roll if players are involved, called the "primary"
character. That test result applies to the average
attribute or skill of the entire group. Then add a
bonus based on the number of participants using
the Combined Actions Chart below.
COMBINED ACTIONS CHART
Participants Bonus
1 0
2 +1
3 +2
45 +3
69 +4
1014 +5
Example: Four edeinos attack Aidan with their
spears. The GM sees that four participants
adds +3 to melee weapons total.
Assigning Attacks: The Game Master should use
common sense when assigning attacks. Ranged
attackers should split their attacks among all
possible targets unless there is a clear threat for
them to focus fire on. Melee attackers tend to face
off evenly among all possible foes, but usually can't
pit more than four against a single defender.
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
Each group hits with a single attack, but the bonus
from the combined attackers improves the chance
of gaining bonus damage.
Concealment
Wise warriors get into cover when a firefight
breaks out. Both melee and ranged attacks suffer
the penalties listed below:
CONCEALMENT CHART
Mod Concealment
2 Partial: Up to half the body is
concealed.
4 Medium: Less than a quarter of the
target is visible.
6 High: Only the target's head or hands
are visible.
Disconnection
When a character using equipment that isn't
supported by the local reality rolls a Mishap, he
disconnects from his cosm. In this adventure that
may happen for any device above Tech Axiom 6
so all firearms, cars, or anything invented in the
last 1,000 years or so.
While disconnected a Storm Knight can't use
equipment that violates reality anymore. Such
devices fade into limbo until she reconnects.
Worse, a disconnected Storm Knight can't spend
Possibilities to enhance tests or negate damage!
Reconnecting: Each turn the player rolls a reality
test against the Zone's difficulty (New York is DN
14 at this point). Once the test succeeds the hero
immediately reconnects and may use all equipment
and Possibilities. The test doesn't require an action.
Normally a further Mishap on this test risks
transforming the hero to the new reality, but that's
beyond the scope of this product.
Firearms in Melee
Characters in close combat can't fire bows, rifles, or
other long arms at the foes they're engaged with,
but they may fire pistols or other small weapons.
The attack test is rolled normally. The defender
must resist with his melee weapons (if armed) or
unarmed combat (if not). Dodge only applies at range.

 ACTS AND SCENES
Adventures in Torg Eternity are split into acts (each
a game session, usually) and then scenes within
each act. This act is set in lower Manhattan, and
follows the Storm Knight's attempts to reach a
place of relative safety. The scenes are all events
the heroes might encounter along the way.
Possibilities
Each character begins play with three Possibilities
at the start of the act, or four if the character has
the Favored Perk. When a player does something
that makes the game more enjoyable (a particularly
heroic action, a poignant character moment, or
even a particularly funny quip) immediately award
another Possibility.
If a character has more than five Possibilities the
player should need to work harder to earn more.
Likewise if a player is down to one Possibility (or
none) prompt them to make a quip or look for an
excuse to help them out.
SCENE ONE: BATTERY PARK
Hours ago, the world changed. Cellphones lost
signal, motors and electricity stopped working,
and a massive bridge of vines crashed down on Citi
Field as the opening pitch was thrown. Monsters
descended the "maelstrom bridge," including
dinosaurs and terrifying lizard-men.
Many sought refuge inside the walls of Clinton
Castle, but the edeinos came (with a Tyrannosaurus
Rex!) and the walls fell. The player characters are
the only people who escaped.
Have all the players roll a find test, mostly to get
used to the mechanic. Regardless of success they
hear gunfire to the northeast, indicating some
kind of resistance against the invaders. A success
detects dozens of distant edeinos preoccupied with
digging furrows into the ground. A Good success
Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
spots piles of human corpses near the diggers, and
an Outstanding success reveals similar groups
even farther away. Battery Park is becoming some
kind of mass grave.
If the heroes linger, edeinos find their trail (use the
villains from Scene Five: Edeinos Scouts). Heading
towards the gunfire leads to Scene Two: Under the
Rubble. Investigating the diggers triggers Scene
Six: Edeinos Warband unless the Storm Knights
are very stealthy. Any other means of escape is
blocked by diggers, and the waters around the
park are filled with dangerous creatures.
SCENE TWO: UNDER THE RUBBLE
At the edge of the park, streets are cluttered with
rusted cars and overgrown with vegetation. A
huge triceratops munches on vines, pushing aside
automobiles as it does so. Faint cries emerge from
one of the crushed vehicles.
The triceratops ignores the newcomers and focuses
on the vehicle. If it continues, whoever is inside is
killed. To save her, the Storm Knights might attack
or trick the triceratops to draw it away. They almost
certainly can't defeat it, but they can distract it long
enough for someone else to rescue the victim.
Triceratops (1): See page 13. Since no cards
are in play, assume the heroes go first each
round.
If the rescue succeeds, a woman named Laura
Dale is inside. She's in shock, but first aid or
persuasion gets her moving again. Once she returns
to her senses, Laura reveals that her son is in an
apartment nearby, and she's determined to go to
him. The group can go along (Scene Three: The
Boy Upstairs) or proceed without Laura straight to
where they heard gunfire (Scene Four: Firefight).
Convincing Laura to go toward battle before
checking on her son is a DN 18 persuasion test.
11
 SCENE THREE:
THE BOY UPSTAIRS
The Storm Knights catch sight of a young boy
pressing his face against window of his third-story
apartment room. The building looks completely
dilapidated and covered in vines. When he sees the
group approach he shakes his head and mouths
"no," then disappears inside.
If the group approaches the building (Laura
certainly does if she's with them) they hear sounds
of destruction and yelling inside. The voices are
human, but sound crazed. The fire escapes outside
have rusted and fallen, so the only way to the third
floor is inside via the stairs.
The group of humans inside have been
transformed by the Living Land. They are now
savage marauders and attack anyone outside their
small band. The heroes encounter these brutes once
inside the building. It's possible to use intimidation
on the louts, but likely the group has to fight.
Feral Humans (1 per hero): See page 13. The
heroes go first each round, then the villains.
Once the feral humans are dealt with it's simple
to recover the boy (Luke Dale). He's the only one
left in the building. He was staying quiet hoping
the marauders downstairs wouldn't find him, and
didn't mean to draw the heroes into danger.
SCENE FOUR: FIREFIGHT
Soon after rescuing Luke, or if they headed directly
toward the sounds of gunfire, the party comes
upon a scene of carnage. Dead soldiers and edeinos
litter the ground. One soldier, Private Gummer, is
still alive. He's badly wounded and in deep shock.
A standard first aid test stabilizes him and gets him
talking.
Gummer is in the National Guard, and his unit
was activated with orders to locate survivors and
escort them to Lower Manhattan Hospital. They
were attacked by a large group of edeinos led by a
warrior with a red-painted face. Gummer calls this
warrior "Red Face" and describes with horror how
it tore through his friends.
At first the National Guard were winning the
battle, but as they fought their weapons stopped

Txabier Etxeberri (Order #11908851)
working, even though there were no signs of jams
or malfunctions. The weapons work fine for the
Storm Knights, but Gummer has disconnected and
simply can't make technology work. Since he's not a
Storm Knight he can't reconnect without returning
to Core Earth. Gummer is a bit slow on a good day,
and disconnection has confused him even further.
The good news is there's lots of useful equipment
the heroes can pilfer that may help them survive:
Armored Vests: Increase the wearer's
Toughness by +3. Note that the armor benefit is
lost if the hero disconnects.
Hrockt Shoot Spears: Damage Strength +2.
A Mishap doesn't disconnect a Storm Knight
using these primitive weapons.
M4 rifles: Damage 14, capable of Rapid Fire
and Full Auto, with a 30-round magazine. Short
range extends out to 40 meters.
M9 pistols: Damage 13, capable of Rapid Fire,
with a 15-round magazine. Short Range is 10
meters, Medium is 25, and Long is 40.
Ammunition: Extra clips for M4s and M9s for
each hero.
If the heroes can't help Private Gummer they find
maps and orders talking about Lower Manhattan
Hospital, and identifying it as a stronghold for
refugees. It's not far, but unfortunately "Red Face"
is on the prowl in the area and finds them before
they arrive (Scene Six: Edeinos Warband).
SCENE FIVE: EDEINOS SCOUTS
This scene can occur any time the action slows
down, or if the Storm Knights remain in one
place too long. The scouts may even arrive at the
battlefield from Scene Four just after the group has
a chance to gather weaponsor just before!
Edeinos Warriors (1 per 2 heroes): See page
13. For this encounter the villains go first, then
the heroes.
The last warrior left attempts to flee back toward
the warband if he can. If he escapes he tells Red Face
about the Storm Knights. If anyone chases him,
give them one more attack to stop him, otherwise
if they continue chasing him they encounter the
warband from Scene Six!
 SCENE SIX: EDEINOS WARBAND
Before the group can reach the relative safety of
Lower Manhattan Hospital they must get through
"Red Face" and his vicious warband. Red Face is
a Stormer, which means he has Possibilities and
four Wounds just like the Storm Knights do. Give
him two Possibilities and use them to enhance
his melee weapons attack or to negate Wounds.
For even more of a challenge give him the Quick
Perk, which allows him to spend a Possibility for a
second action!
Edeinos are tough, and with a Stormer they're
difficult to handle. The heroes need the weapons
found in Scene Four: Fire Fight to have a chance,
and Red Face isn't taking prisoners.
Edeinos Warriors (1 per hero): See below.
One of the edeinos is "Red Face." The heroes go
first each round, then the villains. For a greater
challenge replace one of the warriors with a
Triceratops.
WRAPPING UP
With the warband defeated the way to the hospital
is clear. Outside is an armored vehicle and several
soldiers on watch. It looks like a place of relative
safetyat least for now!
FOES
Mobs: When the villains take Shock just track it as
one block. Each time Shock accumulates equal to
the foe's Spirit remove one enemy (whichever one
makes the most sense). If a Stormer like Red Face is
present track his Shock seperately.
EDEINOS WARRIOR
Edeinos are trained in combat from the day they're
born. They grow up with a spear in their hands and
are ferocious in their pursuit and capture of prey,
which they rip apart with their savage teeth.
