40K/Inquisitor RPG. The Line of Damnation.

Suddenly, he picked up one, then two more malignant presences entering the periphery of his perceptive range. He already had the nearest cover picked out and moved for it.

The reaper autocannon spat explosive shells as the traitor stalked foreward. Two crewmen were blown to bloody pieces almost instantly. The traitor swung the long barrelled weapon around, looking for more kills.

Hopefully the inquisitor knew how to coax the spirits of the bay doors to open, because Prius had no clue whatsoever.

This was not good, not good at all.

Nathan carefully moved through the hangar, keeping back close to the wall and moving as silently and swiftly as he could.He spoted the control room door but....damnation a terminator was guarding it already .....there had o be an alternate way to.......hmmmmm He looked at the doors themselves......no manual control was a no go ....wait "Bridge ,Talstrem ....is there any way to open the hangar doors in case of an emergncy like say they are weged shut?"

Prias began hearing a noise faint at first, drums, some sort of wailing like a creature of the damned, and voices...

"Oh flower of Scotland
When will we see
Your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edwards Army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again. "

Prais looked as the guards approched they were wearing some sort of plaid dress inplace of cadian normal uniforms, in the back there was a group holding a "Blackwatch" banner, and carrying strange musical instruments, of which Prais could only identify the drummer.

The Terminators noticed the guardsmen and almost laughed, the weak fools were't running, they had no weapons capable of harming them, those pathetic lasguns couldn't do anything.

They knew they were deadmen, yet still they charged. Vibroclaymores unsheathed.

"This is the bridge. Our links to the launch bays have been severed by battle damage. Repeat, our links to the bay has been severed by battle damage."

-----------------------------------------

The Black Watch died. The Terminators emerged partially from their hiding spots, still clinging to cover. The opened up with the bolter parts of their combi weapons and the deadly Reaper Autocannons. The Cadian pattern uniforms (despite the fact that none of the Guardsmen had been within 100 light years of Cadia) commanded respect. It took nearly thirty seconds for the last one to finish dying.

Their deaths gave the precious gifts of time and distraction as well as drawing the followers of Chaos from hiding. Now all that remained was to use it.

--------------------------------------------------

The Harbringer of Agony's turrets slew two torpedos. Her thick armour withstood three impacts. The fourth smashed through and wrecked a bombardment cannon turret.

The Harbringer was the last ship left. She was being harried by destroyers, a battleship, and a battlecruiser. The transports had evaded her. All her sisters ships were dead, except for the Spite, which had all but fallen to the Sororitas. Her captain made a choice. He began to burn for deep space.

Prius cursed the waste of it. Not that the... whatever they were, he wasn't familiar with this particular unit... not that they died. That they died stupidly, that rankled him. They didn't take a single foeman with them, nor did they achieve great effect beyond displaying three terminators that could only be safely engaged in hand to hand combat, as 'safe' as any engagement against enemy terminators could be considered.

He reached out mentally to the inquisitors. "Nathan, Varian, I have a plan. Nathan and I distract the terminators, Varian, can you open the hanger and vent the fuel?"

As he answered, he darted out to lob a krak grenade onto one of the terminators. It was a dangerous business... if the grenade missed, the whole lake of fuel would go up.

But it was in the hands of the Emperor now, for no mortal man could foresee the outcome of this struggle...

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-01-17 01:54am

The grenade sailed true and detonated on the terminator. It cracked one of the shoulder plastons and drew the murderer's attention.

Nathan groweld and ran .He had an idea as he boarded one of the siting trucks.He carefully moved up to the turret and manned it .He aimed the twin sprayers at the closest terminator and opened up.

Slipery, white fire foam struck the marine and pushed him backwards.Nathan locked the trigger down and dismounted quickly .Foam continued to pour out and coat the fuel on the deck. He telekintically pusshed tyhe startled terminator down as he yelled into his vox at Prius.

"Activate the fire system on your end"

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 02:02am

Prius calmly took note of the diminishing size of his cover as autocannon rounds began whittling away at it.

He'd been in worse spots...

No, actually he hadn't. Standing in an ankle-deep lake of combustible fuel, while three terminators decided his existance was counterproductive and shot away his only cover...

Was about is bad a situation as he could imagine, not that he was a terribly imaginative man.

He could sense one of the terminators moving to flank him out as he primed another krak grenade. If he could knock out the terminators weapon, use that terminator as a shield between him and the fire of the others, make the cover of the hanger queen fighter over there...

Incredibly small odds, but the best he could come up with at the moment. He readied himself to move, praying to the Emperor for success.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 02:03am

"Fire system?" he asked over the vox, not seeing but noting psychically the change in one terminator's disposition. "What fire system?"

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2005-01-17 02:08am

"Fire retarant system, designed to flood this bay in case of a fire.Or it opens blast doors to vent the atmosphere out.Damn systems are supposed to work under adverse circumstancs"

Nathan ran from cover to cover"Look this ship has to have something....look for red handles that say Emergency onlyy and Pull one especially if its on a wall"

Nathan growled and made a dash for the door.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 02:12am

Prius was stuck behind the one piece of cover in his vicinity. To move from either side of it, what was left of it, was likely death.

But Nathan had given an order, and so it would be done.

He glanced to the left and right, looking for the nearest emergency fire system that he could spot and braced himself to make a lunge for it.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-01-17 02:16am

Fortunately for Prius, the deadly killer was no longer concerned with gunning him down. Unfortunately for Nathan, he was the Terminator's new target. The deadly Reaper Autocannon swung towards him.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 02:21am

As soon as the fire shifted away, Prius took off, running like a man possessed. Fifty steps. Forty. Thirty. All the while he expected the end to come, a burst of shots in the back to send him on his way to the Emperor.

Twenty steps.

It occurred to him to wonder why the warp Nathan hadn't pulled the handles telekinetically, but now was a little late to ask.

Ten steps.

He leapt the last three meters and came down, hand grasping the system, his body weight dragging it down as he slammed into the wall and then slid to the floor. Before the system could even respond he was running for the nearest cover.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2005-01-17 02:29am

Nathan felt a familiar pull and dove for cover as the area he was in was showered in autocannn shells. The Terminator seemed to be taking a sadistic pleasure in what he was doing as he trailed the shots to where Nathan was hiding .

He swore under his breath as he moved .He was about to run to the next piece of cover when the area in front of him was showered with shells.He quickly moved back and heard the thing laugh . Yep he was in deep shit they wanted to play some.

Thats when he heard the alarms sound asthe fire extinguishing system started .

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-01-17 02:53am

A stream of fluid shot out of the launch bays accompanied by miscellaneous body parts. The Terminators were not affected, of course, but they were annoyed. The moved in for the satisfaction of killing these annoying gnats hand to hand.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 03:00am

Prius hefted his meltagun, a cold smile on his face. If the fuel was neutralized, free fire was now an option.

Time to go hunting. He mentally marked the locations of the terminators. Three targets.

They knew where he was as well as he knew where they were... their auspexes were just as good, or even better, than his senses.

But he had weapons unavailable to them. He reached out to their minds and began reciting the epistles of St. Agathene.

Wretched are the fallen, for they know no succor in life. Abandoning and abandoned by the Emperor, in their black souls they know that only death awaits. Death and the eternal torment of their callous masters.

Rounding the corner, he triggered his melta at the nearest terminator.

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2005-01-17 03:03am

Nathan turned and with as much force as possible he telekinetically body slamed the terminators...

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-01-17 03:11am

Realing from the holy invocation and the telekinetic smash, the mighty Terminators, terrible inhuman slaughterers of countless thousands, were actually slower than the mere humans who dared to oppose them.

Prius's melta blast stripped armour off his foe and blasted the combi weapon in his fist to slag.

Nathan's luck failed him. His foe strafed his position with his autocannon and one of the killer's shells took the inquisitor in the chest.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 03:16am

Prius saw Nathan get hit and rage flared through him.

Others could die, but Nathan was a living artefact of the early Imperium. The creatures would dare touch him?

They would suffer.

He leveled the melta for another shot, while stepping up his mental distractions, the equivalent of raising the volume to ear-splitting levels. Then he squeezed the trigger again.

To serve the Emperor is to serve all that is good and all that is great. It is to serve the light, the glory, the grandeur. It is the meaning of each and every human, to live his every day, to give his every breath, to give every ounce of his being to the glory of the God-Emperor!

Typhonis 1 · Post by **Typhonis 1** » 2005-01-17 03:19am

Nathan was flung back by the shot and struck the wall. His limp form slowly slid down the blow knocking him out but his armor did protect himfrom most of the damage but the impact trauma did do its work he could feel some ribs break before his head helment hit the wall.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2005-01-17 03:32am

The Terminator advanced on Prius with his chain axe held high. Grotesque gargoyle faces leared at him from the armour's knee shields and skulls adorned the spike rack that crowned the armour. The Terminator was uncharacteristically slow, his reaction time perhaps as swift as an ordinary man.

Petrosjko · Post by **Petrosjko** » 2005-01-17 03:36am

For the loyal, the reward is life eternal at the right hand of the God-Emperor...

Prius triggered a final shot from the melta, before hurling it at the terminator and drawing his chainsword.

For the traitor, torment eternal, with grace in sight but forever just beyond their reach.

Let them come one at a time or all at once, he would kill them for the death of Nathan. He was not so far beyond himself to remember the differences between himself and his foe, and did not try to match his opponent strength to strength.
