This psychic antagonist is rolling really crappily. Really crappily.

Given that our backup is loitering around getting drunk upstairs, I'll take what luck I can get.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2008-08-22 09:32pm

I'm not getting drunk, I'm checking for important clues, like what guns did these heretics have, how many rounds of ammo, how many crowns, are there anymore of those tattoos?

If, as I fully expect, I'm about to be blown into bloody cabbage, you are so fucking haunted, Eli.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2008-08-23 05:14pm

Now now. You've fate points that'll keep you alive should the worst happen. Just.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2008-08-23 06:45pm

I'm very confused.

Could someone please explain to me in small words just what the hell is going on?

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2008-08-23 08:51pm

Firefight going on through a false wall downstairs. Ajax trying to cut a hole in the wall, the others just trying suppressive blind-fire through it. Mithras pegged a grenade through a hole in the wall. Now everyone downstairs is participating in an excercise in synchronized shitting worthy of defeating the Swiss Guard upon being notified that the Empire is attaching the Vatican. Why? Because the dude on the other side just return-to-sendered the grenade.

Do you want me to jump on it? Because that would be really cool.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2008-08-25 10:06am

Hah! Okay, a bit of research tracked down the name of our former 'Astropath,' and a glance at his sig reveals the source of the confusion. He's part of Danse Macabre, and goofed up by posting in the wrong 40k RP thread at first.

You should totally do that. It'll be cool as... a very cool thing.

That explains that...

It's alright though, psykers hallucinating the presence of other psykers to deter warp entities with tails of rape aren't that terribly unusual.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2008-08-25 06:18pm

I just wanted to be popular...

So I'm trying to grab the grenade and throw it back into the other room, Crom is trying to jump on the grenade, and Ajax is trying to carve his way INTO the other room.

No good can possibly come from this.

As a side note, I missed Mithras actually doing as he was told and throwing a grenade in after Scar told him to; is that a grenade that's being thrown back or one being thrown by someone in that room?

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2008-08-25 08:26pm

Nonsense, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

This is what I love about running a...well, somewhat differently sane character in a high-lethality environment. No other character I've ever run would have concluded that Ajax's personal plan for grenade survival is a good idea.

Block · Post by **Block** » 2008-08-25 08:54pm

No, Mithras never threw the grenade into the room.

Good, that means there is at least a chance the guy screwed up and set the timer fairly long, and I'll have time to grab the thing and lob it back to him before it goes off. Assuming Crom doesn't land on me and Ajax doesn't step on me.

Then again I suppose me ending up with an augmetic arm is better than Crom ending up with an augmetic upper torso.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2008-08-26 07:04am

But I have a good three layers of character shielding!

I want to get me some cybernetic parts, anyway.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2008-08-27 01:36pm

So. This's a remarkably long fuse.

Post by **NecronLord** » 2008-08-27 05:20pm

Next time, next time, it's a frag grenade.

Also, there's a reason for the long fuse.

White Haven · Post by **White Haven** » 2008-08-27 05:55pm

To give more targets time to assemble, hehe. Grade A bastardry, I approve.

Zablorg · Post by **Zablorg** » 2008-08-27 06:12pm

Wow. I should have seen that coming.

Did my collapse onto the grenade help at all?

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2008-08-27 10:28pm

ooooh

KEYS!!!!

keys open things, things gaurded by keys may be nice/intriging....

No. But you did manage to - much to my annoyance - avoid getting a double dose.

Post by **The Yosemite Bear** » 2008-08-28 01:16pm

if he had gotten a double dose would that have involved insanity points?
