Overview

At which point a little bit of choesion damage is probably hte least of our worries.

If he manages to fully materialise, then yes. At the moment, he's not quite through yet...

Round 3 Summary [x] Omoc: FAB at NE Cistern 6 Hits, Dam: 18 - 11(AV16 - Pen 5) = 7 SI 17 - 11 = 6 SI 22 - 11 = 11 SI 17 - 11 = 6 SI 22 - 11 = 11 SI 21 - 11 = 10 SI Total = 51 SI Points removed, NE Cistern is destroyed! [ ] Gerhardt: ???

Not to play Devil's Advocate (please excuse the pun) but Ang'Kal has Fear(3), does this mean another attack against Squad Cohesion?

Omoc Free of the last of the distractions Omoc brought his weapon up towards Orochi but the words of the Knight and Salamander paused his aim, for the arch-enemy could not be allowed a true foothold in this place. Fighting his instinct and trusting that his brothers would hold against the traitor he turned the heavy bolter upon the summoning pool raking the fountains around its perimeter with devastating fire.

Ialandranth Veilseeker Echoes of the divination faded quickly but Ialandranth remained focussed on the points of light beyond, marking the position of the sun and mountains to use as guides should they need to take a more indirect route. The landscape here was easily enough for one as agile as an Eldar to navigate but exposed to the eyes of the humans.

Round 3 Summary cont. [x] Alda: Sprint to NW corner, Attack vs 1st chain, Miss [x] Zidemi: Feint successful, BL2 is pulverised by Servo-Arm [ ] BL2: [ ] Omoc: ??? [ ] Gerhardt: ???

I rolled a 93 on my Navigation (Surface) check, so Ven is of no use at this moment.

I have checked and only Venkarryn has Navigation (Surface) (for some reason this mornign I though there may be two of you that had it) so if he can pass his test that will help. perhaps a bit of naration of the two of you workign togeter to find a way would set the right spirits. Also a 50/50 forthe trackign is not bad, just not great.

Zidemi Upon sighting the greater daemon manifesting into the chamber, Zidemi needed to dispose of this lesser threat quickly. Find the loci… Destroy them… “Be ready Omoc.” With his combat knife, Zidemi threatened the crimson creature before him with a flurry of strikes. All the while, his true strike was calibrating… Feint: Zidemi will attempt to Feint the Bloodletter 2. Standard Attack: Zidemi will attack the Bloodletter with his Servo-Arm.

Though quite bad at it - so if anyone has a way of assisting Ialandranth before I roll...

@Xin Ceithan sounds good! Here, take this polyhedron for........luck. Ignore the eyes.

I think I know the answers to that one. But I don’t want to ruin the surprise… Edit: or not. Ninja’d No, we’re good. The Dark City is that way. Just knock. Precisely nine times - and tell them I sent you. They’re lovely host, truly, they are. Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have terribly boring stuff to do. Over there. Way over there…

My personal preferred flavour of chaos fans is =][= REDACTED BY INQUISITION =][= Was just curious as to your interests. I'm a loyalist at heart, which is weird, because as GM I generally play the villain!

Thanks, it was a roll of cool thought. I have added onto to my last post that one slash at the chain.

@Mazer Rackham Are you a Chaos fan too? You have preferred flavors? @Xin Ceithan Cool! My character is a Chaos Cultist mutant worshipper of Tzeentch whose mission is to cause a Chaos Incursion into the Dark City. Do you need to see a character sheet, or am I good? :-P

I think if you are using a Sprint to get all the way over to the back of the chamber, that's probably about as much as you can really focus on? Plus Alda's physical strength is nothing compared to the Marines? Hmm... Tell you what, I'll allow you to reach one of the chains and slash it, but you'll have to wait for your next Turn to Charge and cut the second needed to make the NW Brazier drop?

Post edited https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382431-deathwatch-murderers-in-black-ic-thread/page/39/#findComment-6137822 hope thats ok If what I planned dosen't work then I'll work on cutting the chains next round and use this one just for positioning.

Can’t see anything wrong with that. (Except maybe that the FFG games as a whole fail at portraying Alpha level psionics, sadly. That, at least, is not Problem with a game about the Drukhari)

Alda The Knight had stood, with some effort, after her ministration. Alda senses that she had done little to alleviate the problem. Enough however for the Knight to hasten to Duty, and his death she thought, once more. She could hear the clash of battle ahead of here; the Knigh’s pace quickend, then they hwere through the archway and in the large chamber. Something was rising out of the red water, a xenos of the wrap, a jötunn. The books had been light on the details of such creatures. This was the mandate of the Ordo Malleus, not Xenos. She recalled the advice of the scribe some centuries past in the margin in the book. ‘If encountering these fiends, pray for the Ordo Malleus to save you, and pray they do so by letting you live, all else id death.’ Death indeed, as she spotted through the red haze the fallen shape of Asterius being used by the Snake as makeshift cover. Would he live to be born again or had he found his end? No time to get philosophical, she had to act. To the right a group of the Team was dealing with lesser jötunn, to the left the Mantis was attacking the scenery as much as the lone wrap xenos. She got the gist, the loci that the Knight had called for, if the Mantis was right then she could help. Drawing Master Jenning’s sword Alda darted forth, she could see a clear path to another of the Brazier and the chains that held it in place. Weaving this way and that, posture low, she used both arms to steady her grip as the power hummed along the blade, ready to strike and hopefully sever the chains as she speed past. Only as the powered blade caught on the chain did the realisation dawn that this was no string and her idea a foolish one. The momentum had carried her past even as the sword both rebound from the impact, and slid past the links, finding no grip. She nearly lost her grip, and her feet. A stumbling haste brought her full circle as she spun round to keep ahold on the sword, and her compromised momentum almost introduced the ground to her head, face first. Thus she went past the second chain and came to balance by the third, in fact one had on it to steady the rest of her. At least now she could probably apply her other hand and the sword to the chain.

@Lysimachus - GM, yes very fitting with the story. Cover is cover after all and its not like Asterius hasn't done the same before. Also Orichi seems to have forgotten that no-one will be coming to retrieve Asterius' gene-seed.

Saoirse: Upon hearing her name, she looked up at the Dire Avenger, letting her posture show she accepted the use of her name by him. It marked many things, and the Weave slowly smiled in the background music of her existence. Saoirse would reply in the same candour, unable to miss the tremble of his distaste for the subject. 'I know of the Wraithseers, indeed, yet it is a path which my Kin of Saim-Hann know little. We prefer to lay our...displaced...into world matrices. It is a path fraught with dangers, Ialathial, and it is easy to lose oneself in the bitter sorrow of a soul walking among ghosts - for they are apart only physically. The lament of a race is a dreadful thing, a mire of despair and faded echoes.' She paused a moment, listening for echo, for sign the universe was paying attention. The Warlock still had to guard the secrets of the Path, yet, to withhold now was, somehow, churlish. Awareness: 23 Pass, Plus 1 DoS Silent Move when we go: 39, Pass plus 2 DoS min (Unnat AG) 'Yet, all things are connected in the Fabric,' she chose the latter word deliberately, accompanied by her right hand in gesture - fingers spread into a fan, which dextrously collapsed into a pinch of slender digits - the vowels and accents giving it not one, but three meanings, 'and I am able to pull the threads.' Another race would lose her meaning in translation, the eloquent circumvention of the Aeldari tongue as good as darkness in obfuscation, but respectful even to the Eldar ear, which would understand it and appreciate the mellifluous cadence. She gently studied the Dire Avenger to see how her reply landed.

BL6 does opportunity attack, hits and causes 7 Wounds, restored by FP spend. SW Brazier is dropped and destroyed, also crushing BL6. Krak Dam vs SW Cistern: 25 - (AV16 - Pen6) = 15 SI Points inflicted [ ] Zidemi: ???

Many thanks, very much appreciated GM. Necronaut's UBGL just became the MVP.

@Mazer Rackham I like a little bit of it all, but Tzeentch is definitely my favorite. Magic, fire, and mutants. My main three favorite parts of Chaos. Ctesias in the Ahriman books is another favorite behind Fabius Bile and the Soul Hunter.
