I will prepare the Benny Hill theme in anticipation!

Will hopefully have a post up before the

Out of likes.... but considered yourselves liked and adored!

 

 

And as Grandpa Nurgle gives Hand takes, I have to pitch in for on call duty this weekend once more, so I may be more on / offish than usual...

@Mol: Do I need to make an Awareness check to make out the Captain's tattoo? This is getting fishy...

[Slips]

@Dos dont forget that as an Astartes with Hightened Senses (Hearing/Sight) you get a +10 to awareness tests using those senses with another +10 if you had your helmet on :P

[Commissar Molotov]

Noctus, to be clear - I mean a tattoo as in "rhythmic drumming" - it's not anything in particular, just what he does as he thinks about what you say to him.

[Dosjetka]

Slips: cheers, I forgot about that. No helmet on unfortunately but I assume that since Mol didn't mention anything, Ghent picks up nothing.

As for how the week is going so far, I got a little bit of a break while my boy asked to watch Star Wars Return of the Jedi....

Oh, my bad. I thought you meant he was tapping an actual tattoo.

Ask the Rogue Trader what weapons his ship has - he could have some high end ordnance we could use.

I'll keep that in mind. Need to get this matter of disturbances in the warp settled first.

[Noctus Cornix]

During my last post I realized that I did not have Charm as a trained skill, only basic. Although I had still technically passed the tests, I incorrectly estimated what I needed to succeed and how many degrees of success I had in the previous two tests I had made. I'll ensure I not make that error again.

 

 

Mol: Based on getting a single DoS for my Psyniscience test, could Guillermo follow the unnatural sensation in at least a general direction? Also, how long before I could try again to hopefully get a better result?

[Reyner]

With the Hive Fleet being so close is it wise to assume we may have some Lictors sneaking about?

[Nineswords]

I was thinking that...

 

Great posts everyone, I will get back to writing my next bit when I've seen Apologist's post!

 

In the meantime, I've a new project brewing... with models: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/354714-the-unbroken-a-renegade-cult-of-obliteration/

[Steel Company]

Looks great Nine!

[Dosjetka]

Noctus: What do we do now? We have his word that he'll stay and defend Syndalla which is what we set out to do. Do we ask to explore the ship and see if we can flush out a potential Lictor? Do we mention our hunch to the Captain? Do we just leave? Does one of us stay onboard to keep an eye on things?

[Commissar Molotov]

Do consider the narrative arc - you're on day one, effectively. You don't need all the answers right away!

Placeholder filled – over to you, Nineswords! Currently Yeng and Greysight are still lurking on King of Kings – perhaps you could take us back to the Xenocide? Let me know if there are any tweaks you'd like made.

 

In the meantime, I'll be taking a closer look at the Unbroken

TFW the GM says 'Yeng and Greysight Make a perception test!'

 

I'm not confident on the crunchy bits, so could someone confirm that this is correct: I roll a D100 against my PER stat (43) for this test, right?

 

Do any skills (Awareness +20%, for example) or equipment (Auto-senses) affect this? Do they stack, or do I pick one?

 

Also, Heightened senses isn't a skill. Does that interact with a perception test?

I used this online die roller (http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm), and got a 25. 

 

Is... is that good?

Hi Apologist...

 

You are right that you would normally roll against your unmodified stat (unless I make you aware of any additional modifiers.)

 

You've passed, so you are aware that Locke seems troubled.

[Morovir]

Placeholder updated. It's not much, but there's not much that Teralil can really do.

I believe it would be an error for us to leave this matter unsettled. 

[Steel Company]

Body is, try to find out about the Dark Lantern... without knowing anything about it. :)

[Dosjetka]

Damn the Dark Angels (and successors) and their secrets! If only Tyber had told us something about what he found! :P

Greysight begins to understand Yeng's subtle negotiation skills: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344357-blackthornswordhand-a-rallying-cry/?p=5283358
