[DH1e] The Damocles Contingency (OOC)

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham I wonder, do our new ally's sidearms bear special names? Something with an Ygrekian motif, perhaps? ;)

From his description Cephas seemed more BA. 

[Mazer Rackham]

No comment...

Reynard will happily pay for that and be very glad to have a team medic again! 

 

Bardas not a good enough Medic for you?

 

That said I agree, a second active player with the skill set and tools is not a bad idea, especily as we end up split party so ofthen.

Oops, sorry Tro! Like you said, it's been so long since Reynard and Bardas have been on the same side of a team split, I had forgotten he had Medicae!  

[Trokair]

No worries, I actualy loled when I saw the inital comment. it felt very in character. 

 

Anyway, as much as Bardas would like a melta or similar after thinking about it I am just going to have to wait a tad longer. The metla cutter cannot be effectively used by Bardas yet (aside from Basic Weapon Training (Melta))

 

Also seeing as to where the story is going it probably it is time for Bardas to pick up Forbidden Lore AdMech as I assume it will cover some Dark Mech stuff. I am also toying with the idea of Awareness to go with the Paranoia; the two should work well together.     

[Lord_Ikka]

Well, I know Bardas has Medicae, but honestly I don't think Nicios and Bardas have ever been together in a small group so it hasn't come up before. Having more people to patch us up (or modify us, I guess) is going to be helpful since all Dark Heresy characters are so squishy.

 

I'll take the medikit Reynard has so generously offered to buy, thanks!

[Mazer Rackham]

In order to get a better picture (a few players were undecided other than 'stay inside' I've dropped your options below.

 

Gladius wreck:

• Bardas
• Restal
• Cutter (autopilot)

Drexler:

• Reynard

Gwynne:

• ?

Canthus Holdings:

• ?

The Depths Part II

• ?

The IC is open for reactions or further query to the plan. Don't leave the room.

[Trokair]

Do we heal any between Act 1 and 2?

 

Bardas has picked up Awareness and Forbidden Lore AdMech, leaving 100xp unspent for future use.    

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes, full HP, full FP.

[Necronaut]

So it sounds like Scourge should be sent to either the Canthus Holdings(?) or the Depths, as the man has a fever, and the only prescription is more cowbell. I mean smiting heretics.

 

I'm not trying to metagame here: Scourge will do best as a beatstick or bodyguard or both in the short term. His investigative skills are... Unique. He ought to be able to make some decent intimidate checks now that he's clad in ceramite and steel. 

[Lord_Ikka]

With Reynard going to Drexler, I think the remaining three (Falk, Nicios, Scourge) should stick together. Too many separated acolytes would lend itself to defeat in detail. Maybe investigating what is going on with Canthus would be a good start.

[Machine God]

Is it the 2nd of April already, Shirley not?

[Necronaut]

@Lord_Ikka agreed. Happy to send Scourge along with Nicios and Falk.

And don't call me Shirley! 

[A.T.]

Gwynne had seemed like a higher priority at the time simply because Canthus was stated as not directly involved - and therefore could be subjected to some more direct arm-twisting to surrender Greyson and the others. Sounds like he might demand some form of rescue or safety given the circumstances though.

 

IIRC Drexler and Gwynne were not so far apart in the lower hive?

My clock went forward too far. Better close up that IC thread then!

 

In all sincerity the intention is to re-start on the 2th. This is clearing up, and prep work.

That's correct. About an hour and a couple of levels or so, given favourable winds.

That's an excellent point. Is the Freehold Market the point where our paths would split again? (Regardless of where exactly, Reynard will happily take refuge in numbers until such time as they need to go their separate ways! )

What happened to the Data Smith Lex?

Yes

[Mazer Rackham]

Was there something specific you wanted from him?

[Necronaut]

Since Scourge has not (officially) heretofore spent any Thrones beyond starting equipment purchases, I would like for him to purchase an extra 6x bolt rounds, assuming they are available at our current locale (which per the book are 16 a pop, so 96 Thrones in total).

That's fine.
