Thought I'd start a new one, rather than drag out the old one.

Got a question for Hotfoot: any particular reason I have to follow Varnius directly now? Are the comms jammed down there or something?

Microbeads have a limited range and the lots of thick tunnel walls and hatches isn't going to help that. I was expecting this at some point.

That, and you've lost line of sight, so you have no idea what's going on. Tracking someone becomes extremely difficult if you can't see them anymore. The choice, of course, is yours.

Well looks like I'm going to have to close the gap from 100-200 yards to more like ten.

Okay, so to clarify, have Quintos and Nixios had to make any toughness tests to stay awake, and as the pile of weapons in need of cleaning has diminished have the gangers been collecting them?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-14 01:35am

Gangers have not collected the weapons. How you placed them is up to you. Fatigue has accumulated, but has not forced a toughness test yet.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-05-14 01:45am

How much fatigue? Because I was hauling a heavy load for two hours and should have accumulated two before starting, which means that one more should knock me out for seven minutes.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-14 01:53am

You misunderstood the hauling rules. After a number of hours equal to your toughness bonus, you take the hit. Since your toughness bonus is 3, and you marched for two hours, there is no need for a test. The fact that you're up for as long as you have been, however, is the primary factor in your fatigue, though the long march didn't help matters.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-05-14 01:59am

Ah, so I see. I did indeed misread the rules. Very well then.

THis one is for Vehrec. Are we rotating sleeping now while we watch the base?

Raj Ahten · Post by **Raj Ahten** » 2008-05-16 06:17pm

Got a question for Hotfoot again: I believe I am still at the top of the hatch while Varnius is down at the bottom of it with the man pointing an autopistol at him. Is that all corect?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-16 06:31pm

pretty much

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » 2008-05-20 01:44am

So who all would have heard Verum's little night terror, and roughly what did he say exactly?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-20 06:30am

Anyone on watch nearby, and what he said is up to him, I guess.

I made good use of my light sleeper trait to catch a few ZZs while everyone else was watching, so yes we are trading off sleep and watch for the foreseeable future.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2008-05-20 05:16pm

Whenever one of you guys wants to trade, Xerxes can take over watch for one of you, if you want some sleep.

Vehrec · Post by **Vehrec** » 2008-05-20 06:51pm

No you can't, we're still at the Balimek base, watching where they go.

DPDarkPrimus · Post by **DPDarkPrimus** » 2008-05-20 07:33pm

Oh sorry I thought you meant keeping watch outside wherever we're bunked - I can hardly keep track of who is where.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-26 06:46pm

For clarification:

Grimloch BaseWhere most of the group went to sleep and get yelled at.

Balimek BaseOnly Gelt and Octavius Remain

Underhive Tunnels Where someone gunna die.

Please check your tags.

Sorry, I meant Grimlock base in my post. I have edited it.

Raj Ahten · Post by **Raj Ahten** » 2008-05-26 08:41pm

Ah, what I wouldn't give for a blind grenade about now. Looks like I'm jumping down the hole guns blazing.

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-27 05:37pm

Lazarus took 7 damage from the fall, and is down to 4. Remember, armor does nothing against fall damage.

Would it be possible to fate point what ever roll I used to jump down?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » 2008-05-28 12:52am

You fell ten feet, and you don't have the Catfall talent. You don't get a roll, other than the damage roll, and you don't really want me to re-roll that, because there's a 60% chance of doing more damage, and a 20% chance of that damage putting you into critical.

Imperial Overlord · Post by **Imperial Overlord** » 2008-05-28 01:01am

He does, however, get his Toughness Bonus.

The Dark Heresy rules have very nasty falling damage. My advice: try not to do it. It will fuck you up.
