Ah. I thought he was on the ceiling, you see. I trailed off to give him the chance to pounce before I got a shot off.

Well, this is something to leave out of the history books. "Inquisitor Pater Novum's 2nd mission as a full Inquisitor started when he waded in Sewage for no real reason and shot one of his own troopers."

Don't worry. It wasn't like tycho was going to spare the guy. Now right up whatever damage you did.

Gee, and Pater thought that getting promoted to Inquisitor would get him out of all the shit details.

Oh, I do crack myself up.

Hrm. I have an odd desire to come up with stats for Prosthetic Penii for the Inq. LRB.

Crude: 30% chance per turn of a blowback that'll fire robo-semen out your anus.

Average: Character is partially impotent, limp, etc. All tests for 'getting it up' are at -20% chance of success.

Advanced: The character suffers no penalties but gains no inches.

Highly advanced: Hail to the king, baby.

Okay, Xerxes is ripping up Stormtroopers, not my little mob, right? Just clarifying here.

Pcm, I'm not even going to touch this augmetic penis business of yours...

Yes, he's having fun with Adivan's boys. But don't feel left out, I'm sure he'll have something left for you.

Yeah, I'm not going to make the obvious joke.

What can I say? I'm tired and the pink elephants told me to do it.

You are tired if you don't pick up the gaping opening I left for you. Guess we'll have to either kill or let Xerxes get away fast, before you pass out on us.

Whoops.
Cross-postage! I'll go and alter it.

Edit: No, I won't. It's funny.

If Pater would stop using those stupid eight-pointed shoe-straps these sort of things wouldn't happen. It's not Prius' fault.

Pah. They were going cheap. How could any self-respecting member of the Inquisition resist a bargain like that?

Yeah! Prius didn't loose any more body parts!

Hey! It was a short fight, and he tried really hard. Do you think tripping over Adivan's boot was really an accident?

He'll make his penances, don't worry.

It being midnight, I now go off to bed. Assume Pater does the same after being patched up.

Oh yeah, he's got deep cuts on the remaining side of his face and a few ribs are broken.

Egg-cellant work all around. *Raises glass to IO's guest-GMing skillz*

*Watches y'all fight amongst each other happily.*

I feel we've captured the true spirit of 40K

Likewise for me. Prius calls in the medicae for Adivan and any surviving armsmen/arbites, and staggers to the infirmary under his own power for a refreshing change.

Mild concussion, nothing big. He'll have a hard time remembering this one tomorrow.

You've got some very good players here, NL. This has been a blast.

Great job as usual, IO. Good night/day all.

Thank you. It really is a team effort and it shows.

damn this crud...

sleeping 12 hours, working 8 that leaves only four hours for food, bathroom, and pain....

Just for the record: Mekhatan is an alien bounty hunter of the Vuuldrok species (which was largely wiped out in an Exterminatus ordered by a Monodominant Inquisitor a little under 20 years ago), who was employed by Adivan's former teacher, and started working for Adivan after the teacher's death. His personal stats and such were largely rolled up on the Alien Bounty Hunter Table; I mostly selected the equipment based on what someone with Inquisitorial connections might be able to obtain. Anyway, his innate abilities include Elastic Limbs and Razor-Sharp Claws (very nasty for a four-armed guy). His equipment list is rather long, and includes:

Weaponry: an Assault Cannon (carried in his upper arms), Armoured gauntlet on lower hands that leave claws free, Needle Rifle (plus darts with a variety of tranquilisers and a few poisons), Hot-Shot Laspistol, Web Pistol.

Armour: A sort of very stripped-down power armour (it's still sealed, and it keeps the strength augmentation, but in terms of actual protection, it's on about the same level as Flak armour), and a Displacer Field.

Other stuff: An implanted Infjector for Combat drugs, normally filled with Spur; various gunsights on his weapons; half a dozen Hunter Skulls; two Cyber-Mastiffs (or maybe not - depends on whether there's any way in hell he could get any, being a Xeno, if one with Inquisitorial connections), some medical gear, and lots of Web Solvent.

Vindicare assassins and wanked out massively armed and shielded, psyker xenos deathmachines? When you guys call in reinforcements you don't screw around do you.

Nope. Although, considering the opposition, I don't think it's that excessive.

EDIT: Although the psyker bit isn't exactly essential to the character, it's just something that ame up on the table. If it's considered excessive, I'd have no problems with removing it.

EDIT 2: Hell, considering the conventional weapons he has available, it probably is a bit over-the-top; consider it removed.

Freaking escalating arms race. At least tycho won't be twinkish if his next character is an SM.

I've taken Pater out of the equation as anything except support for the forseeable future, because he was kicking far too much arse. Also because I've bagsied the next battle, and I can't go around winning it for everyone.
