[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

Hi all, I have managed to get the Ryken plot post completed and up. I am still working on the Dam plotline and will try to get it up as soon as possible.

[Mazer Rackham]

Er....

 

GM:
The Gunship will require three crew: a pilot, who can operate the forward-mounted heavy bolters and missiles; a gunner in the upper turret manning twin-linked assault cannon and a crew member within the hold manning the Stormraven's auspex arrays to warn of approaching Tyranids and to locate Ryken's signal. Please can the players determine who will be taking each of the positions.

 

OMG why?!  We need a PILOT again and nobody is a pilot - that's IT, my next character is going to be Marines' Errant!  WHat am I supposed to do, stick my arms out the window and flap?

 

Arg! (like the post though GM, very evocative ).

I can rectify the situation by having a mind-linked servitor pilot the craft - that actually works better for me in some senses?

 

Though with that said, I think we discussed that Sabaan would have Pilot previously.

[Mazer Rackham]

Oh I'm not complaining!

 

I was just doing some pearl-clutching because I remember the last time Sabaan flew us anywhere.

 

I suppose gravity requires no pilot....

[Steel Company]

MR, you only need a pilot to land safely.... Otherwise Gravity does wonders.

Sorry, real life once again dragged me down into the doldrums. Teralil will be fine at the dam. I will try and get a post up as soon as possible.

[Commissar Molotov]

My plan for the dam Demi-Squad is for you all to take Jump Packs and be inserted into the dam area... still working on my post to set the scene.

[A.T.]

Hopefully one of us has the demolitions skill

[Slips]

I thought I did.

 

I do not.

[Mazer Rackham]

None of us do! 

 

Closest thing we have is a very angry Red Talon with a rocket launcher....

 

Steel - oh yeah.  Wasn't it Collateral, where the guy says "Hey you killed him!"  and the other guy goes, "Well no, the bullets then the fall killed him."

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

I guess to a certain degree the actual skill isn't essential - planting a melta bomb or demolition charge doesn't require a test. Doing it under pressure, etc., might be, but I would imagine all Marines would learn to use them at some stage. Similarly with pilot, for example. I will look at Sabaan's character sheet and see about changes for the future. Edited October 7, 2019 by Commissar Molotov

A brace of Krak or Concussion missiles will do the job nicely. :P the jump pack will be interesting though Vorr won't be able to carry much ammo without the missile rack on his usual backpack. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Solastion:  We have run out of missiles brother Vorr?

Vorr: Do not fear, Crimson Knight, because my grenades are plentiful, my forehead is broad, my gaffer tape is sticky and I like headbutting things.

 

You could always carry one in your teeth?

 

MR.

[Reyner]

Could carry one in the teeth and maglock a load to his armour like the most dangerous hedgehog in the universe. Or do a Lister and headbutt the dam into oblivion 

[Commissar Molotov]

Hi all, I have edited the previous post to include the beginning for the demi-squad assigned to demolishing the dam. Please let me know if there's any issues!

 

Working on narrative for Steel in his role as Warden of Beregar City...

[Steel Company]

Sounds good CM, looking forward to see what you come up with!

[Nineswords]

Sabaan and Greysight repel the tyranid boarders, and fuel up the Uber.

[Reyner]

Wasn't Vorr at the dam not going after the Interrogator?

[Mazer Rackham]

Mol/GM - are these guys individuals?  Do I have LOS to any of them?

 

MR.

[Commissar Molotov]

Yes, these are nine individual Gargoyles. I don't think Akkad would have a line of sight to them this round as you have described it, but the next round they will wheel around and be trying to attack. I've kept ranges abstract as this is just a quick combat - the Gargoyles will inevitably die, it's just a question of how quickly they can be killed.

 

I told Nineswords that he needed five successes to locate Ryken's signal, so he's done pretty well so far...]

 

EDIT: Reyner, you are absolutely right. Vorr is at the dam, and I meant to write Yeng. Apologies!

[Mazer Rackham]

Understood, cheers.  

 

MR.

[Nineswords]

Greysight stares at a screen a lot, whilst Akkad insists on being irresponsible by opening the sun roof on the Uber pool.

[Commissar Molotov]

Pleased to see people stirring - I hope you are all well, despite the villainies and vagaries of real life!

[Commissar Molotov]

Spearcast's Passengers: The Harridan has a TB of 21 and armour 6, along with 175 wounds. It is entirely possible for the Stormraven to attack the Harridan and kill it, but you do run the risk of being damaged. If you cannot destroy or evade the Harridan by the time you reach Ryken's signal, it may prove problematic for you at your landing site.

 

Mazer - Akkad is technically in charge of the Demi-Squad, so I'm happy for you to give orders to Sabaan...?

[Mazer Rackham]

I don't think he'd be happy! :p

 

I wear the Eagle and the Albatross.

 

What are our relevant combat airspeeds (max harridan, max us?)
