[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Monstra Sumus]

 

Well if he starts a new one up I've got an itchy trigger finger Tactical buried in my pile of old RP folders sporting a winged lightning bolt and ALOT of Malevolence 

 

Hmm, I just thought - don't we have Salamanders, Space Wolves and Celestial Lions roaming about the place? 

 

@Necro - so easily done! 

 

 

Someone has to show them how its done after all! 

[That Beyond the Light]

Thanks, I'm hoping we pick this back up, I've really enjoyed writing Tyber.

Yeah I actually miss waiting to read everyone's pieces and then responding. Found it a great pallet cleanser from my main crafting bread and butter.

Looking forward to following Tyber back into the thick of it...

[Mazer Rackham]

Following Tyber shouldn't be hard - he's so big! 

[Steel Company]

And runs through walls!

[Mazer Rackham]

Walls are for punks!

 

Real men make their own path! 

[Commissar Molotov]

Hi all,

 

With the Iron Gods' Episode II winding down, I'm preparing my notes to return to the RP. My plan as such is:

 

- Firstly, the fight between Atratus and the Kroot Shaper;

- Secondly, the brothers in Desiato's Chapel investigating a hidden secret;

- Thirdly, the brothers in Swordhand having a fight aboard the Riches Untold.

 

I will send out another email to all the players to encourage people back, but I expect to be up and running by the end of the week.

[Necronaut]

We're all looking forward to it, @CM!

@CM - At least I'll have something to read while Lysimachus has a month or so to write notes for the next chapter. Blacthorn/Swordhand is great.

[Steel Company]

The Emperor be praised! I'm looking forward to this starting up again.

[Ancient_Sobek]

Pyke is ready to rock and roll

[That Beyond the Light]

Looking forward to seeing what a headbut has unveiled

[Mazer Rackham]

Wait, I missed a headbutt?  I love headbutts!

 

Why does nobody tell me about these things?

[Steel Company]

It was during a difficult time MR, but it still wasn't as epic as Akkad vs Tyber headbutt.

[Mazer Rackham]

Of course not.

 

Akkad vs Tyber (anything) = Volume 11 Metal.

[Steel Company]

Of course not.

 

Akkad vs Tyber (anything) = Volume 11 Metal.

 

Maybe volume 12 metal when krak grenades in fists are involved...

[Mazer Rackham]

*Nods sagely*

 

But - have we reached Dougie McIsaac levels of Metal?

[Necronaut]

Based upon my reading of the Blackthorn/Swordhand lore to-date, our intrepid heroes have yet to encounter a chaos terminator to caber toss to his death. However the fight inside of the synapse ship was a cracking good read, worthy of at least a track off of an early 80s Judas Priest album. 

[That Beyond the Light]

It was kind of suggested that a headbut might be an appropriate way to see what was behind a wall...i thought it was as plausible as any other method...

[Mazer Rackham]

Headbutting is fab.

 

Get enough Degrees of Success and you flatten your opponent.

 

Even if it is a wall.  The Codex Astartes DOES support that action.

[Commissar Molotov]

Okay, so getting back in the saddle was tricky (with a lot of cross-referencing) but we are finally in motion..!

 

A.T., if you want to separate yourselves you can use your Assassin Strike ability to throw the Kroot off yourself.

[Necronaut]

Our liege has returned!

[Steel Company]

Woo! We're back!

[A.T.]

Atratus' action posted - he's going to grit this one out for now as assasin strike is for big lumbering opponents, not fast sneaky gits with lots of dodges and a nearby VIP to protect (though he will hop off after the Interrogator if she is being dragged off into the distance :p)

 

I think the shaper may be a little more battered though (and Atratus a little less) as I invested in the dipole maglocks - utterly invaluable little things and a bargain at 5 requisition.

[Commissar Molotov]

Yeah, sorry for missing the mag-locks - I had to go back and work out most of your bonuses and bits of equipment, but I missed them.

 

Don't worry about trying to dodge the haywire, I'd like to use a bit of DM fiat to enforce it for dramatic effect. You only really need to get one good hit on the Kroot (and can use Killing Strike if you need to), but I'd like to see how Atratus copes!

[Steel Company]

If his suit is offline till a Techmarone can tinker with it, Tyber would trade power supplies to keep Atratus in working order. I mean a little inconvenience for Tyber is worth it to keep Atratus at full strength.
