Overview

I am looking at table 2-5 (p76 BC core) to see what I might want to spend the gained XP. Under Nurgle what does Unnatural Vigour do? I can’t find it anywhere else. I presume it is something like Unnatural Senses or Characteristics

Hagga: Hagga frowned, then nodded. It was just as he had thought. He sighed. “I thought as much when I saw him boasting atop the bastion. He’s a young warrior, overeager for glory. He went against the wishes of our group, and shall face a penance for it… but…” Hagga looked upwards. “… you have already confessed this betrayal, and accepted whatever punishment your comrades choose… haven't you, brother?” There was a fiery burst and a roar of thrust from the shadows above. Ukalegon dropped from the container stacks, landing lightly on one knee to the Magos’ left. The Lamenter stood and nodded his agreement, glaring icily at the priest. “You know,” Hagga continued softly, “that I am a believer in giving second chances, Magos. I believed it for you. I believe it now for Ukalegon. My concern, though, is how you uncovered this ‘secret’ information?” He paused for a moment, then continued before Kraggan could answer. “Don't worry, Magos. We already know.” Obadiah moved forwards on the priest's right side, his sudden presence somehow even more surprising than Ukalegon's flaming descent. From Hagga's right, Varne stumped grimly forward to join the little group. From his left, Acchiersum Mourn appeared from between more of the storage crates, looking with lazy malevolence at his rival. “You see lad, Brother Obadiah here was picking up all kinds of odd signals from his comm leech whenever he was around Brother Ukalegon. Obadiah asked Magos Xerxes to quietly check out Ukalegon's wargear, who found that his jump pack had been… tampered with. Again. By you. He was kind enough to remove your little listening program a few hours ago, without alerting you.” Before Kraggan could react, Ukalegon and Obadiah reached out to seize his arms. Mourn stepped forward and joined them, and together they began to force the tech-adept to his knees. Few mortals could struggle against the strength of even one Astartes. For a certainty, no-one could match three.

Oops, for some reason I thought the Death Spinner had full auto, so up to Ialathial and Kelman to keep the DE in check.

Xerxes: The short range vox to the scattered servitors faded and died as the vessel returned to the Razor, each set to burn away any traces of his work but not all as soon as others. It would only take one to find their way to any of the automated freighters to throw its next passage off course scattering that which could not be taken against the slim odds that it might survive to be recovered. The arrival of the Imperial vessel may be co-incidence but Xerxes had no trust of such things. The Rogue Trader, talk of the inquisition, astropathic signals no doubt sent of fires and witches and soon enough of this attack, Huron, and this legion of which the heretek had spoken. Sooner or later a storm would come and this would be no safe harbour.

No, that's his Nephew. He's also got a third-cousin called Hans Kneads Your Bumps and Daisies.

Is that Hans that does dishes with that vile green hairy-lipped squig?

No, you're thinking of Drei-Hans Von Boomendorf, which, incidentally reflects a similar confusion in the early summer of 606.349.M39, when Herr Platter McBoomerface was accused of rustling several small grox from a farm on the world of Bounty, although it was far to the north in the Jurisdiction of His Most Worshipful Judge James 'Gunshot Gob' Gobrecki, who was very used to speaking loudly at all times. Due to a clerical error in name reporting to the cross-eyed clerk of the court, Herr Ein-Blast Von Boomendorf was next on the list before the Judge in a case of exposing himself at the local hostelry in full view of the Reverend Mother Claudia Trampelbottom, the most holy lady of the northern cloister, who was in the tavern preaching on the risks of the demon drink. So flabbergasted was Lady Trampelbottom, that she fell into a dead faint - upending the table upon which she was delivering her sermon, and breaking the jaw of a man who later described the bloomers under her cassock as 'voluminous'. This double-offence by the two parties involved was brought to the attention of the Judge, when, one of the revellers careened into the judicial precinct, and promptly evacuated his stomach contents all over the booking register. To whit, both men were locked up in the cells, and their names presented at court the next day in the incorrect order. This has led to a family feud between the Boomendorfs and McBoomerfaces for over three centuries, with the respective families using such slurs as 'grox-fondler' and 'wobbly-wiffle'. It got so bad, that at one point the Commissar Corps were deployed en-masse to break up a mass duel between the families, when Lieutenant Colonel Funf-Minen Von Boomendorf arranged his whole platoon of tanks on the world of Korskan XXV during the uprising on that world, and charged the artillery platoon led by Captain Zooman McBoomerface. Hence, in his second judgement, on appeal, Judge Gobrecki loudly declared that the McBoomerfaces and the Von Boomendorfs, although good and upright citizens should never marry each other, own farmland, nor shame the same toilet block. Mixing the two families up has been quite the risque, but rather impolite joke at societal functions ever since, despite leading to several lethal duels.

Kraggan: Indulged in duplicity! -1 Khorne Alignment You can take the man out of the Ad Mech, but you can't take the Ad Mech out of the man. Indulged in Tzeentchian affairs! -1 Khorne Alignment I just hope it doesn't make the XP purchase any dearer.

Xerxes already has four so it seems a little superfluous. Leaning towards a willful disregard of the warp and chaos, 99 corruption with no outward signs and a stubborn belief that he has walked between the raindrops.

Okily dokily, Drei-Hands McBoomerface coming right up!

Provided one out of Ialathial, Kelman or Ialandranth (as you all have weapons with full auto capability) has a successful Suppressing Fire action at the Dark Eldar by that tree it is safe to assume that they are and remain pinned, leaving the other plays act freely such as running or picking of individual enemies if you so chose(such as the DE that Ialandranth jumped into combat with). Ialandranth is locked in combat and his only full auto weapon is a pistol which may not reach - so suppression will have to rely on another.

Terms acceptable. TPK commencing.

Kraggan He met up with Hagga in the dark hold. "The need for secrecy is to mitigate misunderstanding. Truth needs to be imparted when it is pertinent to be told and when it's telling would not to harm the mission. It involves Ukalegon and his actions that he chose to do." He moved about in the space that they were in, until he was happy that the dimensions were right. He was careful to always keep an eye on Hagga, all of his movements were open and in full view of the Heart-eater. Carefully he brought out of a pocket of his cloak, a small pict-caster. "The footage that you are about to see was recorded on the Bulk Hauler, when we were on the Star Hawk. Do not be alarmed when you work out how you are seeing it and who is the narrator." As he turned on the device, it broadcast a hologram of the bridge of the Bulk Hauler and Andus Ressokov sat in the pilots chair at the controls. The view moved towards the pilot and loomed over him, as Ukalegon unsheathed a combat knife. “Forgive me, Andus Ressokov, that I will not be joining you at your terminus. And forgive me that I must ask you to defer your revenge upon the Arbites…” Ukalegon’s razor made short work of Rossokov, who gurgled blood and died quickly. "But it is a revenge merely deferred and not denied. I will be your implement of their destruction. The Provost Marshall must see his domain reduced to ruins, and all he cherishes laid to waste before succumbing himself. This vessel, your tomb, has a new target..." Ukalegon leaned over the pilot’s controls and altered its trajectory to miss the tower entirely, though its landing would still cause apocalyptic damage and mayhem. "Forgive me, Hagga." As Ukalegon turned, the footage faded to grey and the hologram stopped. "The truth of what occurred is now told."

Warpsight? Tarh did prey to the pantheon for protection during the Tower slaughter and had one very lucky escape from death at the hands of an Astropath. I had written that just to show that Tarh is more than a bit spooked by the place and its Inhabitants and that when faced with melee ranged threats he was not as good or prepared as ranged combat (the scene by the cut power also played to this). However with those options Warpsight seems like a narrativley good fit, the pantheon granting Tarh a bit of the power/sight of those he faced there (or maybe the pantheon was not involved and instead a bit of astropath soul latched onto Tarh in that encounter, who knows?).

I am considering this one. Rapid Reload I already have. I'm also already quite tanky tbh... This is not a challenge @Mazer Rackham, I repeat, not a challenge.

Hagga: They were away. The Razor had escaped from Ithyca, a few days gone. Hagga hoped they'd never need to return to the grubby backwater ever again. Now they were at warp, beginning a search for a new base of operations. If he had his way, finding themselves a damn Navigator would be one of their priorities. However, there was another piece of potential unpleasantness to deal with. He suspected he already knew what Kraggan wanted to tell him. If it was what he thought, the situation would have to be dealt with, whether he wanted to or not. Justice and honour had to be served... He arranged to meet the Magos in one of the ship's holds, amongst the shadowed stacks of storage crates full of provender stolen from Bounty. Eska snarled as Kraggan entered, but quickly relented, moving to sit quietly blocking the entrance, as though she knew this conversation was private. “Well, Magos,” he nodded affiably, “what is this ‘intel’ you have for me? How did you come by it? And why such secrecy?”

Indeed, lots of options... Ahem...

Illusion of Normality would be the 'safe' choice to keep the character as an infiltrator. On the other hand warpsight has great potential...

Mighty Shot and Target Selection are quite good, though expensive (can't remember Alignment on those...) Rapid Reload is cheap and super useful for a gunner? Alternative is to focus on making him more tanky/ Nurgle-y - including the bonus above, you probably don't need much more to be Devoted at your next CP Check?

Your Choices are as follows. Note that you can modify the roll by your Infamy Bonus, (so you can pick any one of these): Roll 1: 100 95 Vampiric Addiction 97 Warp-touched 98-99 Warpsight 100 Wreathed in Chaos Roll 2: 003 1-2 Addiction 3-6 Animal Hybrid 7-9 Bestial @A.T. ONLY: Roll 1: 098 90-94 Tentacle 95 Vampiric Addiction 96-97 Warp-touched 98-99 Warpsight 100 Wreathed in Chaos Roll 2: 045 40-42 Featureless Face 43-45 Illusion of Normality 46 Flaming Skull 47-48 Headless 49-50 Icon of Blasphemy

Xerxes similarly has moved up to 20. Unaligned. Sadly I don't think the 3 hour limit will give him time to make a detour to one of the automated haulers where he could blame any mutation on exposure to the warp core while redirecting it :p GM

Tarh is Unaligned. Ah, no worries, would explain why I was cluless.

*Sucks air in through teeth* Hmm, sounds like a skill issue to me.... Yes, you get a mutation. Check your alignment. If you're Unaligned, I roll twice, and you can pick. Tertiaries are secret objectives agreed between the GM and Player. If we didn't agree one, you don't have one. Of course, because I say so.

Away from books, dose going from 7 to 11 CP trigger anything? Is there a list of the Tertiaries (i.e. did Tarh do any even though I the player don’t know which objectives were secondary and tertiary respectively)? Lastly I assume the GM stat award can push minion stat above the minion stat cap?
