Faith on one side, and Bravery/Courage/Virtue on the other. I was undecided if it should be poor or common quality, so I said to myself 1-4 for poor, 5-9 for common, and 10 for good. And what should come up but a 10. So it's actually a shiny chainsword; it is a paradise world, after all, the criminal underclass probably steals a lot of good stuff.

Sweet, now if only I could use it properly

Well, If you wanted to go for the 'Feral Warrior' alternate guard rank (I'm not entirely sure why that's an alternate rank, it's quite adequately handled in the origins, I'd say, but hell, it's a useful option) in the IHB, melee-chain is in the third rank for 100XP.

Also, silly Scar. Eviscreation is nothing compared to the cyber-conversion-sans-anaestetic he'd get from the Mechanicus.

True, but we're in a hurry, and for all he knows I'd eat them in front of him while he lay dying. I don't have the new books that were printed, could you pm me the options for advancement if they're worthwhile? I have the Core rulebook so I don't need that stuff.

I believe that will be sufficiently convincing. Mercurius was in a bad mood to begin with (still injured and all), and that screeching did nothing to improve it.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2008-07-14 06:00pm

I'll get on it when the time comes.

A proper response to Merc's query of the shrine, and all those questions, will be quite complex, but I'll do it as soon as I can. For now, I really should get some sleep.

Also! Yay! Mindscrub. If Merc manages to arrange that, and gets himself killed, you know who the replacement character will very likely resemble for the rest of the party!

Fucking... goddamn...

Right, unless anyone has any major objections, I think maybe NecronLord should iniate my actions in fights if it's the last thing in an initiative before he proceeds.

Incidentally, what are the qualities of the laspistol and mono-knife that Mercurius took from the Heretek? I assume from the description that the laspistol has the compact upgrade, and since Mercurius already has a laspistol will be passing it onto some party member in need of a sidearm, but not if it's liable to blow up and take their hand off.

Since I only get to post once a day if that.

Until otherwise mentioned I will be shooting heretics with shotgun when ever possible, got that?

Post by **NecronLord** » 2008-07-16 04:58pm

Yes, the map has 'bawdy houses' labelled. It is a paradise world, even if you are on the shitty bit.

"Seats are for real people!"

Or 'I didn't expect you to get anyone alive'

Yeah I was worried we weren't seeming vicious enough to pass as Ecclesiarchy thugs. It's just that live prisoners are so much more useful than corpses, if less convenient in the short run. It's also much easier to shoot someone later than un-shoot them.

We'll just have to have some mass public executions after we find the rest of the people responsible for this situation to remedy that.

As a side note, it's sad when you're off doing something totally unrelated and suddenly realize, "Oh, shit, we didn't check to see if that heretic was supposed to be reporting in on a regular basis!"

I've been watching a lot of the old batman series lately, and I thought I should share this with you. While writing that last post, I had the image of the batman swirly-scene-change thing; but with an Imperial Eagle instead of a bat symbol stuck in my mind.

A map of the (obvious) bits of the establishment shall be forthcoming when you kick in the door, or otherwise enter.

Block · Post by **Block** » 2008-07-24 04:57pm

This is more Nolan Batman I think, but uh, there you go

Post by **NecronLord** » 2008-07-25 05:45pm

That's what you think. You're about to go up to a heretic lair, labelled 'heretic lair' with heretics in those hooded robes casually hanging around outside. Also, you're henceforth obliged to type in font size twenty...

ZONK!!

Or something to that effect with each attack.

Anyway. Your map.

The bar is a bar. It's full of very expensive drinks, with a bartender, and 2d3 standard wenches in high class clothes. The drug-store sells what seem to be (legal?) drugs of various flavours. The tables have chairs, but I couldn't be bothered putting them on. The dancefloor is presumably that, though no one is dancing, and the pulpit appears suitable for hectoring the locals as to their worthlessness, giving lectures, or perhaps, playing subversive musics. The whole front is open, though there are metal shutters for the night, or for stormy weather. There's a canvas awning that extends onto the street.

Hey my standard not pump shotgun is a mad max/fallout inspired pistol grip sawed off affair.

There is no door, it's a completely open front, just for your information

Lancer · Post by **Lancer** » 2008-07-29 10:50am

So, did we ever decide if I was at the auspex tower providing recon, or another set of hands to shoot stuff with?

Humm. I don't think so, thus, it's up to you. I got the impression you left, after locking it down. I'd want in on the action were I you. The tower keeps logs, remember, so it's unlikely you'll lose anything by not being there, unless a heretic shows up and bombs the place.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2008-07-29 06:02pm

I can say that without compromising our mission, right?

Can't see that it hurts.

Also WH you’re more jammy than a swiss roll. You rolled 007 on a free psyniscience roll, and 10 on the power roll. Are you sure Ajax isn’t some sort of Eldar warlock in cunning disguise?
