[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Steel Company]

Oh CM, that tome is getting crazy! I really want to see where that rabbit hole goes!

 

 

 

Edit:

 

I added a bit more to my last post in the IC thread.

For Mazer, Steel, Reyner, Apologist and Morovir:

Arriving at the new outpost will be much the same as before - the corpses are only fresher. You are catching up with the Lictor. Feel free to describe it as you wish - you can even start with entering the Outpost, rather than travelling there, if you wish.

[Mazer Rackham]

GM/Reyner/Apologist/Morovir/Steel:

Maybe Akkad and Steel will be a few minutes behind as they're on foot? Might give the other lads a chance to post up some gribbly since Steel and I have been flogging the log quite a bit? What do peoples think?

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

Either option is fine by me.

I was more thinking Vorr shouts to dump the supplies so all the marines can get there together in case something is still in the outpost? Granted he will be pissed off that we get there to nothing but he's a Red Talon being angry is their whole thing :D

[Mazer Rackham]

Then you know what to do Reyner...! ;)

 

MR

[Commissar Molotov]

Looking forward to your posts, guys!

*Steeples fingers*

 

*Ponders if Teralil could scan for subterranean tunnels and then could use the breaching augur to drill down to them*

 

*Idly wonders if a flamer up the  would settle the Lictors' hash*

 

Hmm.

Greysight returns, and is unsettled: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/344357-blackthornswordhand-outpost-43/?p=5343746

 

Noctus - I hope you don't mind me making up dialogue for Montesa, very difficult to have a conversation otherwise. If there's any changes you'd like me to make just say. I've set the stage, I'm looking forward to reading what happens next!

 

I apologize in advance, but I do actually mind. I'd personally prefer not to have my character played for me. It doesn't honestly really read like Guillermo, but you don't have to change anything, I'll roll with it. The only thing I do need to let you know is that Guillermo has a force sword, not a staff. 

 

Guess I'm still dealing with this book now, then. 

[Commissar Molotov]

Guess I'm still dealing with this book now, then.

I will freely admit and accept that Montesa hasn't had the easiest journey thus far - he was stymied aboard Desiato's ship and unable to uncover the truth regarding the strange presence aboard; he was given this strange tome and was unable to make head nor tail of it. In the story thus far, Montesa has been very introspective and has made few associations with other members of the Kill-Team. Part of the reason that I paired Montesa and Greysight together was an effort to give you someone to play off of, particularly as Nineswords is an enthusiastic and committed writer.

 

Unfortunately, however, your post reads to me as Noctus the player being frustrated, rather Montesa the character. If you would like to influence the plot, or for it to go in a different direction - please discuss it in here. That's partially what the thread is for. I would like all players to be happy, and if I can accommodate them I would like to do so.

[Nineswords]

Noctus,

 

Please accept my apologies for not messaging you before posting.due to unforeseen live events I have been unable to post for a while and was simply keen to move what I thought was an interesting turn of events over to you as you see fit. Please feel free to PM me with any amendments you may have, otherwise I can simply omit the last two parts of my entry altogether.

 

Thanks

 

Nine

 

Update: I have omitted the majority of my post. You are free to do as you wish and I will work around you.

EDIT: Nineswords has edited post #1440 and I have edited #1455 accordingly. Having removed everything after Greysight meets Montesa - hopefully that will allow you to develop Montesa's character in a way that fits with how you envisage him. Edited July 13, 2019 by Commissar Molotov

Demi-Squad in Outpost 37 - feel free to describe the Outpost as you wish (it's not essential to the plot) but the question becomes - what next?

[Steel Company]

Tyber will go and check the generator room, if it is the same M.O. he's going to either want to follow it through the tunnel it is making, or find out if there is an outpost between 37 and the city to try and ambush the critter at the next place.

[Noctus Cornix]

I apologize.. I don't mean to be difficult about any of this. It's been a rough couple days and I've just been incredibly frustrated with some life-associated things. I'm sorry if I let that spill out. I was planning to roll with what we had, but if you guys want to reel it back, I'll continue with this. Thanks. 

 

I'll get my post out tomorrow. 

[Commissar Molotov]

Noctus: Thanks; I have spoken to Greysight about a few plot threads and your conversation with him need not lead the two of you to the tome, though you may wish to discuss it with him. Don't feel as though you are being railroaded.

 

Steel: Mazer's post added that the Lictor entered Outpost 43 through the ventilation systems, but that isn't how it enters Outpost 37. This should be enough for Tyber to realise that it isn't exclusively travelling underground.

[Reyner]

Sorry proper busy weekend so I didn't get chance to add Vorrs update, at least we are getting closer to it! :D 

[Commissar Molotov]

Is there a way to overtake it?

[Steel Company]

I think we could set up a possible ambush point at then next outpost, if there is one along this vector to the city. As I'm sure that the Chimera has a higher ground speed than the beast we are hunting.

[Commissar Molotov]

Pop it up in the thread and we'll see! :)

[Mazer Rackham]

You heard him Reyner!  Left stick old son and give it some welly!

 

MR.

[Steel Company]

Will do CM, just need to get to a point today when I can get my laptop up and running... so about 2-2.5h from now...

[Commissar Molotov]

Alright, let's do this then: one of the demi-squad can come up with the idea to try to predict the next Outpost the Lictor will reach - Outpost 15.

 

Reyner: Make 10 drive tests (Agility +10): I will use the number of passes and failures to try to discern how quickly you reach the Outpost. Feel free to narrate the post with the Chimera crashing through fields of wheat or whatever you prefer!

[Steel Company]

Sounds good to me CM, I'll edit my last post in the IC thread to reflect that we are just going to move on from 37 after a quick sweep.
