[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Brother Argent]

Would feel just wrong using a place holder for the first post.  Tomorrow should do it.  Hopefully

[Xin Ceithan]

I really enjoy those out of combat posts most... always great to see the lesser well known chapters having more screen time and I really dig the way the DIY chapters develop from the post. Always makes me kind of wish I had gone with something like that  - but I have a tendency to get lost in details doing that and my posts are spread out enough, so working along a solid foundation helps me staying in track. But I means I appreciate all the things you guys come up with even more!

 

I looked over my xp spendings while scribbbling and think I would go with this

Tech Use + 20 (IH advance 500 xP)

Armourer +10 (General 500 xp)

Orthoproxy (General 600 Xperia) ... as Sabaan attempts to form a mental bastion against treachery and xenos Witcher from the Creed and the thoughtstream

 

my notes are bit stretched out - did I save 100 Xperia earlier— then it is WS basic advance . If not, Imam saving the 400 Xperia. There are nice toys to be had at rank 4 :)

Hello all, just going to work out a new post and wondering who is confirmed as going to watch the initiation?

 

In particular, I was thinking to mention Tyber (I know he stays outside but he's there, yeah?) and Greysight (but I'm less clear if he's there?). Not wanting to put any conversation in, just Titus thoughts at the time?

 

Edit: And Thorvald and Sabaan would stand out too, just because Titus would notice them as the only ones from the Legions?

[Steel Company]

He's there till he sees the Star Phantom, then leaves to look up what he can about them.

[Petragor]

And there goes my second post, looking forward to in-Character conversation!

[Lysimachus]

Likewise posted. If I've included anyone that didn't want to be there, let me know and I'll edit.

[Ancient_Sobek]

I added my post as well. I wasn't sure how to determine what chapters I would recognize, so I left it vague. I hope this works. If not let me know! Also, I finally added a picture to Pyke's character profile so you have an idea of what he looks like.

[Xin Ceithan]

Good call.... while Sabaan probably won’t be the life of the party, he should be around for the initiation.

Someone has to have an eye on those potential traitors after all;)

 

(Hope that doesn’t screw up any posts)

[A.T.]

Indeterminate

- Solastion

- Atratus

- Sabaan

Will be attending. Will get up post soon.

To the guys playing the new initiates, Achillion is using the fettered psychic power Reading to determine if any of you have psychic potential (I'm pretty sure you don't), and another effect of the power is that he can read the 3 strongest emotions that you are currently feeling whilst kneeling in the shrine.

 

I've kept these as a placeholder for the time being, and if you want to let me know those strongest 3 emotions you'd be feeling right now, I can slot them in. If you don't want to divulge I'll update it in a couple of days with some general vague emotions for the group of you (so that I'm not putting any specific emotion on any specific individual); pride, nervousness, excitement, distrust, determination and awe.

I've a handful for ya. When Achillion's reading would wash over Incariel he would be hit with a potent mixture of distrust, distraction and guilt. Going by the Reading power in the book, he is also granted a rough idea of the target's 'aura' mental well-being yes? I'm happy to give a little more context on that if it would be something Achillion would search for, though I'm not sure if this reading of the room's energy is a general sniff of the air or a deeper, drawn out lung-full of the people gathered here.

Great stuff! I'll add them to my update and drop it on here in a couple of days. And Achillion wouldn't be too intrusive, he's just checking for any undiscovered psychic potential - strong emotions are like a beacon in the warp so they're unavoidable, he wouldn't search any further - not until he gets Mind Probe at Rank 4 anyway

[Commissar Molotov]

My assumption here is that you are only gleaning surface thoughts, so none of the assembled brothers would know you are doing it?

 

You would also detect the Sulde, the psychically-charged charm carried by Greysight. I am sure that Nineswords can tell you more about that.

Absolutely, and I'd assume Achillion has detected that before so it wouldn't be cause for alarm. He understands discretion too, so wouldn't have probed into the charm, so if Nineswords wants to tell me a very brief description that I'd have picked up from what is akin to a psychic glance, that would be cool :)

Argus has no potential as a Psyker, much to his own dismay.  The three most prominent emotions he is experiencing during the initiation ceremony are: anger, unease, and curiosity.

Hey mate.  Pallan has about the physic potential of a potato.  His strongest emotions would alternate between shame, anger, determination and distrust.  Maybe even some hope, though he would quickly quash it.  He is a very conflicted individual at the moment.

I'm a bit short on time right now, so I've put up a placeholder until I can write something in the evening. If any Swordhanders are able to coordinate with me either here or in DMs, I'd be grateful!

What would you like to coordinate?

[Deadass]

Not a lot; I'd just like a general idea of whether you'd like to RP the convo about the events of our time in suspended animation in full or focus on something specific - that way, I know how far I need to write ahead later.

[Petragor]

Well, Yeng has already RP'd a little just before your post, and I wouldn't mind some more

[Xin Ceithan]

From a professional POV I truly embrace Yeng’s bed side manners, though I highly doubt it ‘s codex conform :)

[Mazer Rackham]

It's all very good so far

 

I'd be wary of compliments on bedside manner from Xin.

 

This is after all a man who attacked a wasp's nest with a chainsaw IRL.

[Commissar Molotov]

Just a note for Swordhand squadmates that Apologist has edited the last paragraph of his post, allowing AHP and Petragor to respond fully.

 

Morovir and Noctus aren't likely to post too much at this moment, so please try to make the most of it however you can.
