MaveriK Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 SAGA of the FALLEN CLAWS http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/KrakenHunt-001.jpg KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: The Storm Abates: The wind howls and snow smothers the ground. No effect. KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ :: The Claws of Russ :: So this is where a night of drinking before a hunt gets you. I really should know better by now. Merriment and Arez is always a questionable, but enjoyable, pastime. Hunting, for sure. A Kraken...hmm. Who suggested it. It'll come to me. More than likely, it was Skadi. More to see if the rest of us would go for it than anything else. As if we'd turn down any challenge with a belly full of Mjod and meat. May as well make the most of it. After all, there's no greater challenge at the moment. I'll take the Krakens beak. Prove I have what it takes. And to shut Greenhorn up too. If he gets it then we'll all know about it till the Wolftime. I can smell it on the air. And smell my pack too. And Mjod. And...wait. I know that smell. Oh great. Warhorse. This was going to be tough but now....its going to be enjoyable too. Very...enjoyable. - forte (D7) (...)- Arez Greenhorn (D1) Rebuilt and reborn by the fleshmakers. The she-wolf known only as Skadi is just as beautiful, and deadly as any creature on Fenris. She stood tall and proud, moving swiftly and quietly like a mountain lion. Skadi was scouting out the terrain. The shield maiden of the Rout could sense it. The anticipation and tension in the air. Her heart was pounding faster now as she prepared for the hunt. Her long hair dark as a ravens, flowed gently along the cold winds of death. Skadi held onto her axe tighter, ready to prove her worth within the court of the wolf king an in the eyes of the Vlka Fenryka. The air was cold, and her skin felt numb. Breathing in the cold air was like having knives stab through your lungs. But this was nothing to a Fenris born, especially to a daughter of Fenris. This is home, and she's here along with her pack mates, to hunt one of it's greatest and most dangerous creatures. A kraken! - Skadi the She Wolf (Shield Maiden) (A7) look at Forte and shakes his head if he thinks he will get that Krakens head i he is in for a fight after i rip its arms off and then hack it peaces and rushes head first into the snowy waste with his trusty spear in hi shad and combat knife on his hip with an axe in a sheath on his back. - postal105 (C7) Loken stood out on the snowy tundra looking out over the vast white plains of Fenris he smiled exposing fangs as a westly wind blow across him it's icy touch caressing his un helmeted face he caught the scents of his pack mates on it as well as the scent of something else. It had been awhile since he'd been on a hunt like this. Thinking about it he couldn't remember the last time he had hunted like this. While Forte and Postal will scrap like pups for the Kraken's head, Loken is only interested in tearing out the monsters heart. - Loken86 (C8) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/KrakenHunt-002.jpg KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: Blinding Flurries: The driving snow obscures all vision. All shooting attacks suffer a 25% penalty to their range, rounding fractions up. KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ :: The Claws of Russ :: I'll go and fight the one at F5,i'll throw as much as i can while on my way - Arez Greenhorn (E3) I'm on that one with you. Wind in our faces to cover our scent. Looks like I'll get the first charge on it - forte (F5) This is the only beast that needs to be hunted as a pack! like true wolves we hunt together. Alone against a kraken, will bring doom and a visit from the fleshmakers. The foolish Greenhorn rushes towards the pray, failing to see the other kraken closest to him! I'm too far to warn the hot-headed fool so I will just have to do my best to distract the kraken before it gets in the way of my pack-mate. (Moving towards, while shooting at and attacking close combat at the kraken on D4) my the dice gods favor a daughter of Fenris. - Skadi the She Wolf (Shield Maiden) (mortally wounded) i will charge at the one at d4 smelling the stench of a kraken emerging from the sea and realizing that it is focusing on good old greenhorn mumbles to him self i cant let greenhorn get blind sided seeings how he seems to be not paying attention. - postal105 (mortally wounded) move towards D4 will launch spear while approaching then charge when in range. So who's for Sushi - Loken86 (D6) ROUND ONE RESULTS: Arez rushes off and throws a spear at the kraken at the far distance, and missing with his aim. Skadi throws a spear at the kraken closest to Arez, that was ready to blindside the Blood Claw. Skadi's aim was true, landing an attack and managing to wound the kraken. The kraken makes it's save. Skadi and postal make it to close combat against the kraken, before it could harm the Greenhorn. The new whelp, Loken follows his pack mates and throws a spear at the kraken, he misses. Loken moves closer towards the kraken, but was unable to join in the melee. forte seeing Greenhorn try to dash after the first kraken runs charges at the monster, easily getting into close combat. The kraken lands two attacks at forte, and wounding him with one. forte fails his save, but makes his Ld test. forte against all odds, manages to land one attack and wound with one. The kraken fails one wound, and now has two wounds remaining. Meanwhile.... the second kraken lands two attacks on Skadi, and two attacks on postal. The kraken wounds Skadi with one and postal with two. Skadi fails her save, and does not make her Ld test. She is the first to fall at the gauntlet of Fenris. postal fails his two saves and follows Skadi into the cold sleep. Both waiting for the fleshmaker Dammot to come and wake them after the hunt. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/KrakenHunt-003.jpg KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: Blinding Flurries: The driving snow obscures all vision. All shooting attacks suffer a 25% penalty to their range, rounding fractions up. KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ :: The Claws of Russ :: HOOOOWWWWLLLL I watch as my spear goes wide of the target I feel the my wolf spirit's rage rise as two of my packmates fall to the Kracken I vow to avenge them both. Placing a hand on my wolf tooth necklace I offer a prayer to Russ and the All Father to guide my spear true this time. Ok lets not miss this time launch a second spear(or whatever i have left to throw) at the Kracken @ D4 and then change it - Loken86 (D4) INJURED well that didnt work......I'll help forte then loken then us three can take out the top kraken.By Russ I will avenge Skadi and Postal - Arez Greenhorn (F5) Let take these beasts down. - forte (mortally wounded) ROUND TWO RESULTS: Loken hits the kraken but does not wound the beast. He growls in defiance and launches himself at the beast, howling all the way while screaming for vengence. Arez unable to aim at the kraken already in close combat with forte rushes in with a beserk charge. Meanwhile back at Loken's fight, the kraken strikes first, hitting the Blood Claw twice, and wounding the young warrior twice. Fails one save, but makes his Ld test. Now fighting wounded Loken keeps going striking with a blizzard of attacks he strikes and hits will three and wounds with all three. "For Skadi, for postal, for FENRIS!!!" he shouts out, as the cold winds howl in return. The kraken makes two save and fails one. The kraken now only has two wounds left. Back at the kraken facing forte and Arez, the kraken inflicts a single wound on each of the two warriors. Wounding only forte. forte fails his save along with his Ld test. (I rolled two box cars). In return Arez lands two attacks and lands one wound. The kraken makes it's save. Turn Three weather forecast is as follows: Howling Death: Moving swiftly during an intense storm such as this can bring death. Users that travel more than two tiles on the map must take a Dangerous Terrain test. (If failed, user is stationary for a full turn in their tile) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/KrakenHunt-004.jpg KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: Blinding Flurries: The driving snow obscures all vision.

MaveriK Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 HUNTING THE BEAST http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/WulfenHunt-001.jpg WULFEN HUNT FENRIS STORM WEATHER UPDATE: N/A WULFEN The Wolf-Bitten/Failed Aspirant5054152+1103+ The fall into insanity is known all too well in the heart of the noble son of Sanguinius, many of his friends and battle-brothers collapsed into the abyss of the black rage. Fluttering in the icy wind, a cloak of deep midnight billows from the Night Angel's form as he rests his hand gently on his sword's scabbard. Although Zynk lacked the superior smell and instincts of the Sons of Russ, he more than compensated with his eagle eyed vigilance and quick mind. Patiently crouched on the high ground, Zynk's mind raced to solve the seemingly endless scenarios and possibilities in the fight to come before they came to fruition. - Zynk Kaladin, Grey Hunter (E3) The recent campaigns had been tough, but no true Son of Russ could resist the Hunt. Gone for many years, Wolf Guard Kieran had barely stopped in the Fang in his desire to return to his true home. The cultists had been poor prey, lacking faith in the Emperor and skill at arms in equal amounts...they had been poor prey indeed. Not like the greenskins, who made up in savagery what they lacked in intelligence. Atleast battling them had tested his axe arm. But his Hunt wasnt what he wanted. He had been told, discreetly, to keep an eye on the Chapter's Night Angel guest. A Night Angel, friend of the Wolves and found in the Fang of late, had been granted a singular honor in hunting on Fenris. Little did the Night Angel know that while this was a honor, it was also a test of his warrior skills. Fenris is no friend to fools. As the Talon of Fenris entered the underground ruins, a new scent overwhelmed the perfume of the Night Angel...this scent blanketed the ruins, emerging from everywhere and nowhere. Grasping his weapons tightly, Kieran feels momentarily unsure if he is truely predator or prey here... - Wolf Lord Kieran, Grey Hunter (A2) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/WulfenHunt-002.jpg WULFEN HUNT FENRIS STORM WEATHER UPDATE: N/A WULFEN The Wolf-Bitten/Failed Aspirant5054152+1103+ i plan to launch myself at the Wulfen in C1, get in CC as fast as possible. (the Wulfen already has the I advantage, so bumping him from a 5 to 6 doesnt bother me much) - Wolf Lord Kieran, Grey Hunter (C1) I shall leap diagonally from my lofty position unto the Wulfen at C1. Hopefully we can give the Emperor's mercy quickly so we can plan our next moves. May Russ and Sanguinius watch over us this day. - Zynk Kaladin, Grey Hunter (C1) ROUND ONE RESULTS: Using the wind to his advantage, Zynk gains an initiative bonus from the wulfen. Zynk strikes simutaniously as the wulfen. While both Kieran and Zynk get into close combat with wulfen. MoTW Zynk lands three attacks, and wounds with three. The wulfen strikes back and lands two blows on Zynk, wounding Zynk with one. Zynk makes his saves. The wulfen makes two saves and fails his last. Zynk gets the first kill and first blood. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/WulfenHunt-003.jpg WULFEN HUNT FENRIS STORM WEATHER UPDATE: N/A @Zynk:I say we back up to A1 while launching projectiles at the Wulfen in C8. hopefully we can make it so we always face the Wulfen 2 on 1. i dont see the wind being a major factor as i dont think we can edge around them and they already have us by 1pt anyway. - Wolf Lord Kieran, Grey Hunter (C3) Plan B it is! Mav, WLK and I shall advance to C3. (Turn 2: Move to C3, Alpha moves to C6, Beta to C7) - Zynk Kaladin, Grey Hunter (C3) ROUND TWO RESULTS: not much happened, out of range for shooting. Nothing but a face-off. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/WulfenHunt-004.jpg WULFEN HUNT FENRIS STORM WEATHER UPDATE: N/A WULFEN The Wolf-Bitten/Failed Aspirant5054152+1103+ both Zynk and i are going to stand our ground and open fire at the same Wulfen. - Wolf Lord Kieran ROUND THREE RESULTS: Wulfen move towards the two Grey Hunters. Unable to shoot they lurk closwer towards their prey, growling at the two intruders. Zynk shoots and misses at a wulfen. WLK shoots. He hits and wounds but the wulfen makes its save. --EDIT-- Ready for ROUND FOUR. INSTRUCTIONS ARE A GO!!!! Movement, Shooting, Close Combat. You have 48hrs to have your instructions posted.

MaveriK Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 SAGA OF THE KRAKEN HUNT http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/MightyAlliance-001.jpg KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: The Storm Abates: The wind howls and snow smothers the ground. No effect. KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ :: The Mighty Alliance :: Horst enjoyed the salt tang in the air and grinned to himself. It felt good to be with these younger pups, all raw courage and fired up for anything. Too long it had been since he had seen a kraken, and now he readied the sounder that would call the beast to them. He looked out over the cobalt seas and stopped his smile, wouldn't do to let the pups know he was actually enjoying himself, now would it? - Warhorse47, Grey Hunter (C5) As he checked his melta gun again for the 5th time Eyeslikethunder wondered what he had done to be assigned this mission. After hundreds of years exterminating the enemies of the Emperor across the great ocean of space here he was baby sitting some blood claws find some dumbass wolfguard who had got himself lost. He had heard the sagas of these Blood claws and some spoke of them as the next ragnars but he waited to pass judgement when he had seen them with his own eyes. At least the mighty Warhorse was here by his side. He knew with Warhorse by his side no challenge was too great no mission to hard. As he heard the engines tone change he knew their thunderhawk was coming into to land. The doors hissed as the seals opened the smell of salt wafted in and something else something much worse... This was going to be good day after all - eyeslikethunder, Grey Hunter (B5) This was a day of judgement, a start or an end of great sagas would be forged this day. A task had been set by their Lord and only it's completion could bring peace to the minds of this alliance. One of the revered Wolf Guard brethren had gone out on the hunt to sate his desire for glory, not one week ago. A week too long the Wolf lord had said, his return was required and his voice was needed in council and he must be brought back from the ice fields. So it was that five individuals had stood to retrieve this task, each had been counselled by the old man. Khine had stood because he had not liked the tone of distaste that had crept into the words of his lord. These smacked of dishonouring his teacher's name and he could not let that happen. Similar thoughts must have gone through his fellow pack member's mind as Russ Brother had stood soon after, as did three of the grey beards. They had set out in one of the companies thunderhawks gunships, which had irked the bloodclaw to no end. "Why had they not been allowed to search on foot?" these were words left unspoken on his tongue. The distance to the ice fields had not been a long journey. It would have only taken a day to arrive and return had they used their legs and perhaps there would have been a chance to hunt but not now.. Having landed the gunship on a relatively stable sheet of ice, the five of them had set out across the ice. The search had been slow going and treacherous, as the ice was melting and great fissures of water had appeared. It was like the very ocean had shrugged off it's own armour so that it could feel the sun on it's surface once more. He could not blame it for wishing for the sensation, the sun felt good against his head after he had removed the trapping of his own helmet. Cool breezes had caressed his skin as it had been exposed and he had breathed deeply, the sensation bringing his hunting instincts to the forefront of his conciousness. Something was not right, there was a bitter tang to the air but he could not place where he remembered the scent. Lowering himself down onto his haunches, he cast his gaze out over the expansive landscape of ocean and ice, searching for the source of the smell. Suddenly he was aware of where he had experienced this scent before, it was death. - Khine, Blood Claw (B5) (...) - Russ Brother 92, Blood Claw (C5) "The Mighty Alliance"... Dragan was smiling at the name adopted by their ragtag pack... He was watching his packmates - Warhorse and Eyeslikethunder the Grey Hunters alongside Khine and Russ Brother the Blood Claws - moving cautiously across the cold wastes of Fenris. Fenris could be harsh and deadly for those too proud of themselves. They were a mighty alliance indeed: a good mix of seasoned experience and youthful fury. Yes... maybe just the pack to succeed in this hunt and bring back to the Wolf Lord their lost battle brother. Without even realizing it he was now in a battle alert stance… He has catched a stirring in the cold morning breeze… a scent of ill omen… Yes… There was no mistaking the scent of one of most vicious predator of Fenris… the scent of a kraken! Dragan was grinning now. Fenris could be sweet for those seeking glory and adventure and a mighty hunt was ahead of them now! He could see that his packmates had catched the scent too and he moved to take position alongside the young Khine… - Dragan Stormwolf, Grey Hunter (B5) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/MightyAlliance-002.jpg SAGA OF THE MIGHTY ALLIANCE: KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: FENRIS STORM UPDATE: The Storm Abates: The wind howls and snow smothers the ground. No effect. KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ :: The Mighty Alliance :: Move to b4 and throw battleaxe at kraken in a1. Looks like a1. Isolate surround then eat i mean destroy. we dine on calamari tonight. As he saw his prey he banished thoughts of which sauce to use later.... He stalked up with his pack knowing that co-ordinated action would bring these beasts down. We felt the wolf rising up as danger and battle neared. Pulling out one his mighty battleaxes he aimed for the eyes and prayed to russ to guide his strike true. - eyeslikethunder, Grey Hunter (B5) Brother Russ looking around, his mentor and brother in arms Greybeard Horst projecting a great shadow across the land, on the ice flow a few metres to his right the rest of his makeshift pack the "Mighty Alliance" the young, battle-hungry Khine being held back by the ever-present sturdiness of Brother Eyeslikethunder (his melta purring like the frostwolf's growl on the wind) and Old Dragan his axe hanging loosely at his side, plasma pistol held at the ready... thinking to himself... "we truly are the mightiest pack in Fenris, we shall take the world beast's spawn to pieces and return with triumph and our lost brother... we SHALL bring our prize home!" Onwards Brothers, we are all sons of RUSS and children of Fenris! FENRIS HJOLDA! I'll be moving on the flailing beasty at E1 (move to D5 and when in range throw spear at baby-kraken "Beaky" situated at E1). Youngling Russ lifted his helmless head high, the shaggy green mane swirling in the icy winds... nose to the south he could just scent the beast as it prowled the icy depths of lake Sovngarde... (get this you win a cookie + ale) ...onwards he lurched, axe held in hand, spears wrapped in a tight bundle across his back, the ever present shadow of his Greybeard mentor in the distance, slowly fading as another young whelp of Fenris dares Fate to show it's hand and smite him, or accept his creating a new saga under the vigilant moons and keen wolf's howl... "Onwards my brothers and sisters, for we are children of RUSS and this day the beasts SHALL KNOW FEAR!!!" I have titled our 3 baby-kraken (on The Mighty Alliance hunt) thusly - A1 = Hjaafinger, E1 = Beaky and F9 = Mal-Ghaz. - Russ Brother 92, Blood Claw (D5) Dragan focused as he catches the scent of the beasts. The young Kraken prowled the land in search of a dinner and he had no intention of being their lunch! He quickly talked with his packmates using their battle slang and readied his bolter as they moved toward the northwestern beast. Around him the pack moved in concert like a finely tuned battle unit. For their first hunt together they were exceptionally attuned. It was the kind of kinship that makes him proud of being a "space wolf". [i move to B4 and fired at the A1 beast happy.gif ] - Dragan Stormwolf, Grey Hunter (B4) Something flashed from the surface of the ice off to his right for only the briefest of moments, but it was enough for the young son of Russ. His gaze snapped in the direction of the source, as it became clear what he had seen. Could it really be that they were in the hunting grounds of the legendary Krakken? A feral grin began to grow across his face, his muscles tensed as they were filled with combat stimuli and his focus was set. The rest of the pack were planning how best to hunt the mighty beast and he had not paid much attention to their words, that was until he heard a certain phrase from the one known as Warhorse. It appeared there were still two more of the beasts further south and what was more he had inadvertently thrown his lot in to keep watch while the others had their fun with the solo fel-horror. Cursing under his breath, he chided himself for getting into a situation like this and made a mental note to correct the failing. Once the plan had been decided on, they each clasped one another in the warriors grasp; all except young Russ brother. It appeared that Khine was not the only one that had not heard the entire conversation and he watched as the other bloodied claw moved towards the south. This was good, this gave him a chance to face the great beast first. Slowly he removed each of the axes from the belt at his waist and clasped the hilts tightly. He began to stalk forward, his focus set firmly on the shadow that moved to the north and a low keening sound began to reverberate in his throat. He did not get far as a thick hand grasped his shoulder and a single phrase halted him in his tracks. "Be patient young one.." I will head towards B4, throw an axe at the A1 beast then i will stand firm. -glares at Russ brother- ... - Khine, Blood Claw (B4) Not that he had ever been considered swift, the years had not slowed Horst down [he would still get even with Jonas someday for saying they needed a sundial to time his runs]he moved to close the flank between him and his hunting mates. Balancing the quickly made spear, watched, waiting for the opportunity to aim his throw accurately. Too late, he caught himself as he heard Khine's laugh "Caught you smiling Warhorse...." Going to B5. - Warhorse47, Grey Hunter (B5) ROUND ONE RESULTS: Both eyeslikethunder and Dragan fail at hitting the kraken with their weapons. Khine throws an axe, and it hits firm, wounding the kraken. The kraken fails it's wound and now has two wounds left. Russ Brother 92 moves towards the south, throwing his weapon at the kraken in the corner. He misses. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/MigthyAlliance-003.jpg SAGA OF THE MIGHTY ALLIANCE: KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: Brutal Winds: The winds buffet and pummel anyone caught in the open. Non-vehicle units moving in open ground must pass a Strength test or move as though in difficult terrain (One tile). KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ Move to B3, Throw at C2 Krakken, Charge C2. * I think Khine may have just landed an axe in the eye of a krakken >.> ... like a boss.. - Khine, Blood Claw (C2) The pack has harassed the northern beast and draw first blood. The hunt was well engaged by one member, Russ Brother, was alone... probably not a good idea with two krakens advancing toward you. Listening to Khine Dragan acknowledge his suggestion. The northern Kraken will be for them. After aiming at the beast Dragan thrown one of his spears before charging with a mighty howl ! For Russ! [i move toward the Kraken in C2, throw a spear in the move and charge it with my axe! It's CC for me this turn. happy.gif ] - Dragan Stormwolf, Grey Hunter (C2) The wind whistling through his shaggy mane, Brother Russ sees his spear skim the water next to the beast... He crouchs low, steadying his hand... he readies another frost-edged spear, his war axe ever ready in his left palm... moving slowly northwards, taking a better aim at the beast as it makes it's slow progress towards him and his brothers... - Russ Brother 92, Blood Claw (C4) move to c5 and make a ranged attack at the kraken in c2. He saw the 3 terrors of the deep move the trap the pack. He knew they had the even the odds against them. Feeling the bitter wind and wolf rising. He realised these beasts hated the warm and always hid in the cold black depths of the sea. Pulling out his Melta gun he used it to light the end of his well oiled spear. Blowing out the last flickering flames at the nozzle of his gun. He pulled back his arm and asked Russ to witness his deeds this day and threw the flaming spear into the heart of the Kraken - eyeslikethunder, Grey Hunter (C5) His usual scowl returning as he misses, the Gray Hunter moves to another spot as he sees the Claws heading to close with one of the beasts. Hefting the second spear he made, he tries again for the krakken..... Moving to C5, throwing at the krakken in E3. - Warhorse47, Grey Hunter (C5) ROUND TWO RESULTS: Khine throws and hits the kraken with his axe, but his weapon doesn't even effect it. Khine then rushes towards the creature throwing himself wildly cursing and laughing at the same time. The insanity of the Blood Claw rushing at his foe affects the rest of the pack, motivating them to work harder. Dragan Stormwolf aids his packmate Khine with throwing weapons at the kraken. It hits, but does not inflict a wound. Dragan feeling the beast from within pounces at the kraken will a mighty howl. (M0TW roll =2). Russ Brother aims at his target but misses all completely. eyeslikethunder throws his warm spear at the kraken, hitting firmly and wounding the beast. It screams in terror... taking a wound. The kraken now has only two wounds left. Warhorse seeing the effectiveness of using the meltagun to warm the spear tip, uses the same tactic against an approaching kraken from the south western ridge. He hits and wounds the creature. The second kraken now has only two wounds left Meanwhile back at the melee of things... we find Khine and Dragan facing an angered kraken at the hands of eyeslikethunder. It strikes at the two warriors hitting three and wounding with two. Both Khine and Dragan make their saves. Khine lands one attack and wounds with it. Dragan lands three and wounds with two. The kraken makes two saves from Dragan's mighty blows, but was unable to save the wound from Khine. Turn three weather forecast: Howling Death: Moving swiftly during an intense storm such as this can bring death. Users that travel more than two tiles on the map must take a Dangerous Terrain test. (If failed, user is stationary for a full turn in their tile) --NOTES-- I've fixed the Fenris Weather forecast, to indicate that turns weather conditions on the map itself. I've decided to just post the following turns weather update at the end of the turn. @Russ Brother, I wasn't really sure if you wanted me to throw your spear. So I opted to do so anyway to just help out your pack. This goes to all whom are participating. Pleas indicate if you are going to throw, or shoot at your target. It's hard to read into what your trying to say in your paragraphs. Your intentions may be hinted, subtle or not, but when it comes down role playing and rolling the dice, it's either a yes or no for the DM (Dungeon Master). http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/Gauntlet/MigthyAlliance-004.jpg SAGA OF THE MIGHTY ALLIANCE: KRAKEN HUNT FENRIS STORM UPDATE: Howling Death: Moving swiftly during an intense storm such as this can bring death. Users that travel more than two tiles on the map must take a Dangerous Terrain test. (If failed, user is stationary for a full turn in their tile) KRAKEN Small Kraken6064364104+ Pulling out his flask of extra distilled Mjod Eyeslikethunder takes a deep gulp. Then spitting the highly flammable liquid across the still smoking barrel and incoming Krakken covering the krakken in the holy purifying flame of the emperor. Feeling power of the Wulfen overtake him he charges in (shoot d4 and charge d4) You can make your own frostblade now khine. - eyeslikethunder, Grey Hunter (D4) MORTALLY WOUNDED seeing my brothers taking out one of the Kraken, my honour in the brink... I bound forwards towards the two remaining beasts... my axe's edge shimmering in the the winter moonlight... I reach out, throw my frost-edged spear at the beasty (throw spear at Kraken in D4) once my spear hits it's mark I charge into the fray, axe swinging, short sword held defensively... (charge at Kraken in D4) - Russ Brother 92, Blood Claw (D4) MORTALLY WOUNDED Angered at seeing his packmates wounds the old gray hunter moves to atop a ridge and throws a spear, one he had saved for close rage this one a little shorter but heavier, aiming for the gap in the kraken's shell......then grabbing his axe, charges the beast! Moves to D4 - Warhorse47, Grey Hunter (D4) hmm seeing as the krakken is dead and what the rest of you are doing i'l.. Move to D3, throw an axe at D4 krakken ( for the lols ) and if F5 krakken moves to charge range then im going to charge it. - Khine, Blood Claw (F5) MORTALLY WOUNDED With a heavy slap in his packmate's back Dragan prowled forward (E4), throwing an axe at the Kraken before him (F5) and charging him! - Dragan Stormwolf, Grey Hunter (F5) MORTALLY WOUNDED ROUND THREE RESULTS: eyeslikethunder misses, Russ Brother 92 misses, Warhorse47 hits and wounds the kraken. It fails it's save. The kraken now how 1 wound. Khine misses. Dragan throws an axe, it hits but doesn't wound. Khine and Dragan face off agains the kraken. Kraken strikes fist, landing four and wounding with four. Khine and Dragan take a wound each. Both are now fighting injured. MoTW roll=5 Dragan lands one hit, Khine lands two. Khine wounds the kraken. Kraken makes it's save. eyeslikethunder and Russ Brother get into the tile before Warhorse. Unable to get into the fight, the greybeard watches helplessly unable to aid his pack mates. Kraken strikes first, hitting both Russ Brother and eyeslikethunder and dealing with two wounds each. Both warriors fail their saves along with their Ld test. ROUND FOUR RESULTS: Warhorse47 throws, but misses. Now able to get into the fight rushes in with fury, howling for vengeance. MoTW roll=2, Warhorse lands two attacks and wounds with one. Kraken fails it's save as Warhorse gets the kill. Meanwhile the other kraken strikes at Dragan, landing four attacks and wounds Dragan with two. Fails one save and comes crashing down. --EDIT-- I stopped myself at round four, as to see what Warhorse wants to do. Either call it a night and return to the tavern, while carrying his pack-mates back to the Wolf Priest or face the oncoming doom. If Warhorse decides to continue the gauntlet, the following weather condition for roud five is as follows. Ice-storms: Shards of ice lash the users, flaying the unfortunate.

Ace Debonair Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Just read the entire thread. This whole thing has been epic. :P I only wish I'd lurked around here a month or so ago and seen it all from the start! :lol: Which reminds me... If this worthy quest extends to a second wave of hunts, is there any chance of an outsider joining in, or is the right to join in the hunt in this thread reserved only for regulars here at the Fang? If not, then no worries, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, am I right? ^_^ EDIT: I refuse to bring typos to the Fang. I'd get in so much trouble!

Either way, I shall await the judgement of the esteemed Hunt-Master. ^_^ For all that I'm one of Guilliman's sons at heart, I have no problem learning to fight like a wolf, or failing that having bears gnawing my leg off while I try to remember the codex-approved way to panic. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248836-the-gauntlet-of-fenris/page/10/#findComment-3045359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then armed with my trusty throwing axes and a choice selection of viciously curved daggers, Ace Debonair of the Infinity Knights will gladly take up the challenge, travel to the hunt, and hopefully prove myself the equal of Russ's sons (and daughter of course) in the unforgiving Fenrisian wilderness. Who knows, I might even earn the right to feast at the legendary Fang itself! ...Failing that, I should at least make pretty spectacular kraken-fodder. :lol: -edit- just one rule as stated by the hunts-master... keep the role playing within the specified threads!

Salutations, Warhorse, and kudos on your successful hunt! If anything, surely it should be me getting you a drink! With any luck, I'll be emulating your recent success in the near future, with my super-awesome axe-throwing skills. :D I'll have to take the role of a Blood Claw in the upcoming combat - I'm not what you'd call a veteran at this sport!

Well, I'm not really much of a drinker, but I suspect that might change after a round or two of being munched on by bears, elks, trolls and what-have-you. I realise elks aren't normally carnivorous, but I have the funny feeling they'll make an exception for offworlders. As for the sword-swinging, I make no promises. :P That said, I'm not afraid of hunting alone, but I'll join any pack that wants the probable liability I'll no doubt prove to be. ;) You cant be worse than forte :lol: :D Emperor's Left Molar, don't say such things.

Dragan Stormwolf Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Knowing glory without honor is vain and empty, the older Wolf, tends to the wounds of his younger brothers. Now the spears become travois' as he leans into his harness and begins the trek back to the Thunderhawk. Dragan felt a little dizzy... well to be true his head was banging as if all the demons of the warp where having a fiesta inside his skull! Shaking it off he let his senses help him... Blast! The beast had them ! He remembered charging alongside Khine toward the south beast, engaging it in close combat, charring with his brother the joy of the hunt… but he remembered know the fury of tentacles that had responded to them. Too many attacks for two young wolves… and a dark and red blanket covering them. Well… he can smell his pack brothers around him and he can even see know the towering presence of Warhorse watching over them. He charred a smile with the older wolf. He was in debt know and will take pleasure at saving his blood friend live. “So is the life of a space wolf”, did he thought, “living and dying together, always as brothers and always with honor and courage.” He was battered but already eager for his… their next hunt!
