[DW] Blackthorn and Swordhand: OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

Okay guys, there has been a little slowdown so I will move us forward (probably tonight) unless I get any posts in the intervening time.

 

Hope you're all well,

 

Mol

[Petragor]

I am Well and I approve, It’ll be nice to move forward some more

[Lysimachus]

Agreed.

[Steel Company]

You know me CM, I'm chomping at the bit to get back into this.

[Commissar Molotov]

Update up - I'm happy for Petragor to declare Embe's next actions pre-emptively so I can update through to the end of the round. Equally, if Lysimachus wants to give me an indication of the next round, I can begin to put things together.

I will do so post haste, have a little time left before bed.

 

And Atomic, thanks for avoiding the friendly fire! In retrospect it probably would've been better to put Embe somewhere else, but the opportunity to take the high ground was impossible to resist!

Assuming that the Nob has been left behind (he did a FAB and the Boyz did a Full Move?) ...aannnd also assuming that Embe charges the Boyz, not the Nob:

 

Titus will call Bolter Assault again, use the move to get as far along the platform and shoot at the Nob in an attempt to strip its Dodge. Then he will hit it again with an Aim and Standard Shot as his regular Actions.

 

 

However, if those things don't happen I'll work out something else! :P

[Petragor]

And with that pre-emptive turn completion, I'll go to bed. I'll correct any errors come morning, goodnight!

[Necronaut]

You know me CM, I'm chomping at the bit to get back into this.

 

Speaking of getting back into this, when is the next episode of The Continued Adventures of Daon Akkad: (Alleged) Heretic for Hire supposed to aire?

[Commissar Molotov]

I do need to email Mazer regarding that, we've had plans sitting in a Google Doc for months..!

 

I'm also aware you've emailed me Necro, will be trying to reply ASAP!

[Mazer Rackham]

My body is ready.

It's so hard to find someone who understand you these days....

Just to check as I wasn't sure, Mol, did you mean you want me to go ahead and post rolls/fluff to this effect IC, or do you want to finish up the previous Round properly first?

Excellent, looking forward to seeing what happens next!! :D

It's no worry, friendly fire should always be avoided! Last thing we need is for you to accidentally be blown up, no less than by another marine. Besides, you got to pull off that running jump into the Wrekka Mob!

[Commissar Molotov]

Working on updates now... please stand by...

[Commissar Molotov]

With Achillion decapitating the Ork Nob and the Wrekkas breaking, feel free to add in any posts of narrative wiping out the final greenskins and then the Kill-Team reuniting.

[Petragor]

Nice job team, loved the first combat!

[Commissar Molotov]

Thanks for all the posts so far guys! I've given Apologist a nudge in the hopes of getting a bit of Yeng, and I will hold off a little bit to see if we can get any more fro other players. Feel free to interact a bit - these lulls between the combat are where we can get some roleplay going!

 

Former Gallowbane brethren (so Titus, Thire and Kol) might well be glad to be fighting Orks again (or frustrated that they can't seem to get rid of the Greenskin scourge!) whilst others might be able to reflect upon seeing their fellows in combat. Vorr might just be saying "Ow!" a lot.

[Lysimachus]

Titus flubbed his earlier attempt to identify the Orks (well, not flubbed, he managed to recognise that blue face paint meant Deathskulls... :D), but maybe Gallowbane can try again now that the bodies aren't moving or trying to kill us?

[Reyner]

Vorr needs some Calpol and a lay down. I'll try get a narrative post up soon!

[apologist]

Hey all; apologies for the long absence – I’ve given the in-character thread a read; but could anyone provide a quick rundown here of where we are? Keen to get back into the swing of things with Yeng

[Commissar Molotov]

Swordhand discovered that the Riches Untold had been attacked by an unknown alien race. The ship then came under attack from Orks. The available player characters fought Ork lootas in the cargo bay whilst the unavailable player characters fought a rearguard.

 

Achillion's psychic abilities revealed scattered bands of Orks throughout the vessel, though not acting with any cohesion.

 

In my recent post I mentioned that Yeng and his fellows fought against Orks, but I'm open as to what that actually entailed.

[Lysimachus]

If it helps any for Yeng's actions, Vorr and Titus were the only ones wounded in the fight. Titus' was minor, 3 Wounds to the arm from a shoota, but Vorr took about a dozen hits from a Loota's Deffgun (autocannon-kinda gun, I think?) and lost half his Wounds!

[apologist]

Cool, ta. Post is up – and do please give me a poke if I make any obvious blunders while getting back into the swing of things, fellows!

 

I've alluded to some sort of energy weapon hitting the split squad – but left it vague. Thought it might be fun to have encountered a weirdboy or similar?

 

I'm sure it's around somewhere, but could some kind soul direct me to the post with who's in which fireteam?

 

Mol, could you remind me what dice rolls a medical intervention involves, please?

The 2 demi-squads joined up again, but then split into the hangar fight and rearguard teams.

 

Hangar:

Achillion, Titus, Embe, Thire, Argus, Vorr

 

Rearguard:

Kol, Yeng, Maladon, Boros.
