'To Plunder the Stars Themselves' OOC Thread

[Commissar Molotov]

Beren, even if you are planning to blow up something when you get there, you could still snap off a bolt pistol shot in mid-air?

[Beren]

Possibly, but I'd expect there ought to be some kind of penalty for trying to aim a handgun while hurtling through the air, and I like to play Svelk as being extremely conservative when it comes to ammunition.

He's an Assault Marine!

[Lysimachus]

No penalty, but I respect the RPing and Svelk's focus. So if you decide not to Shoot, it will earn him a +10 on his Demo test to use one of his home made Bombs!

 

Edit: although bear in mind when working out your main Turn movement that the Immolator will also have a chance to move before you drop? You don't want to overshoot! :D

 

 

Edit edit: so we just need Decimus' and Vesalius' moves (which I guess you might not want to use anyway?) and bolt shots, then we can get back to regular Initiative order?

Little heads up for Beta members, I'm going to update you tomorrow so if anyone has any other 'interviewing the locals' type posts or placeholders they want to get in, please do?

[Necronaut]

I'll have an update posted tonight my time. Have had a busy weekend.

[Black Cohort]

I won't be able to update until the morning

[Lysimachus]

@Necro: Oof, almost managed to one-shot Repentia M then, she's only got 1 Wound left! :lol:

Draak rolled a 10 on his Bolt Pistol damage so he should get Righteous Fury too. Can I roll this extra damage or is it too late?

[Lysimachus]

Oops, I missed that too! Yep, fair enough!

[Machine God]

Thanks.

 

Draak's post has been edited.

[Lysimachus]

Forgotten to roll her SoF save, but it was a Fail, so Sister E is the first casualty!

[Ancient_Sobek]

Just letting you guys my posting may be sporadic this month. This is the busiest part of my year, so I will do my best to add posts when I can.

[Commissar Molotov]

My post is up to finish the Traveller's actions.

 

Lysimachus - is it possible for you to post mid-round actions rather than editing an older post? It makes it easier for us to see which characters are injured, etc.

[Lysimachus]

Yep, I was just waiting for Decimus' action for the Bolter Assault, then I was going to post a new pic before regular Actions started?

 

As Sister E is already down, I will transfer the hit to the next nearest target of the same type, which is Sister F?

[Black Cohort]

I posted both my bolter assault and regular turn.

[Lysimachus]

Ok, pic and summary so far are up, so we should be able to see what's what. Draak is up next!

@MG: You don't need to do anything with AV and Pen, as the Repentia aren't wearing any armour. So for each Hit it's literally just your 1d10 (rolling 2 and keeping 1 due to Tearing) +12 minus her TB of 4.

@Lysimachus - Thank you for reminding me about Tearing. I re-rolled and got a couple of 10's and added Righteous Fury Damage too.

[Lysimachus]

No worries!

 

Ok, updated to the Repentia (what's left of them...) so it's Vesalius next!

[Mazer Rackham]

Lysi, do the inhabitants of Viorda Prime have a native language other than Low Gothic?

[Necronaut]

Lower Gothic. (Ba-dum tiss)

 

I'm here all night, folks. Tip your bartender!

[Machine God]

Lysimachus - Shouldn't Sister F get a Righteous Fury roll for the 10 on 1d10?

[Necronaut]

Round 1 Summary cont:

 

[x] Vesalius: Bolter shot at SSA, Hits, Lots of Damage! Dodge already used, Shield of Faith... 28!!! No Wounds Suffered! (OOC: HOLY MOLY, I thought she was a goner for sure!!!)

 

The bolt is perfectly aimed and flies true. It seems certain that the Sororitas commander will fall. But even as the shell is about to hit home, the Sister Superior sways suddenly, her eyes flickering as if entering a trance. Her head moves only an inch to the left, but it is enough that the projectile somehow passes across her shoulder and explodes against the structure behind her. She blinks at the sound of the impact, then looks up with a mixture of anger and awestruck joy towards the sniper's position. She begins to sing, raising her bolt pistol, drawing the long power blade from her hip and rushing forward into the foe. Her troops respond with similar zeal and a storm of firepower.

 

[sNIP]

OOC: Sorry Necro, I wasn't expecting that! You've got to admit it was a properly cinematic moment though... 

 

[sNIP]

 

@GM: Properly cinematic or properly convenient?

 

(Joking!)
