A standard medkit is good for a +20 on any medicae roll. Given how much we get shot at we should probably buy one...

 

Pretty sure we've got one, Reynard bought it and gave to Nicios, that's why he's still on a 50+% chance despite the -10! Got any FPs left, Ikka... just in case? 

 

 

 

 

Speaking of FP, I know Reynard and Scourge are both out. We've now travelled down to the market, fought Helene (for admittedly varying lengths of time ) met up with Drexler or Gwynne, made our way back - through a riot - and now dealing with an assassination attempt... are we headed for an end of Day/Session restore any time soon?

Excellent....

Bardas has one as well, he just happens to be indisposed on (another) little side quest.

Maybe next time we have funds every team member should acquire a Medkit for themselves.

I just realised Falk is carrying de-tox with his injector - IIRC it was part of the stimm kit from the very start of the game.

 

(thought i'd search to see if anyone had purchased it at some point and ... https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/375260-dh1e-the-damocles-contingency-rpg-ic/page/43/#comment-5906186 )

Kerr Restal has one. 

 

They come with 5 doses of Stimm

 

 

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Holy crap. I'm back and ready- where is Nicios in this chaos...?

[Necronaut]

@Lord_Ikka Praise the God-Emperor! He has returned! The dice gods (of chaos) decided to make things needlessly exciting for our band of sort-of-heroes. 

[Lord_Ikka]

Yes, I've seen that. Very exciting times indeed.

I think when Falk spotted that some of the Arbitrators had been taken out and their gear stolen, he suggested that Nicios go check on them?

 

But that could probably be done pretty quickly, or even could have happened offscreen?

 

Where we need him asap is onboard the Valkyrie doing the required Medicae test on Gwynne! (who, as you've probably seen, got shot in the arm by an assassin with a needle pistol and is now suffering tox damage)

[Mazer Rackham]

There's a lot of leeway for where Nicios could be and what he gets up to.

 

Don't forget to say hello to your new, grim battle-buddy!

[Marshal Valkenhayn]

I'm just here to hang out and not shoot friendlies.

No BBF's in 40k, gang,

 

Just stoicism and heavy metal.

What the  is a BBF?

I think it was supposed to be BFF?

 

Anyway, Nicios is back in the saddle and did pretty much as good as he could with the healing. If this doesn't work, nothing else will.

True dat.

 

Nothing worse than a dyslexic GM. Good job I keep rolling high for my "this will kill the player" numbers, eh?

Got it:

 

Best Buried Forever.

[A.T.]

Do the arbites get the prisoner to the Valkyrie? (before I make my post)

[Mazer Rackham]

You can assume they sling him in, still restrained, like a side of beef, before Solomon closes the door.

[Lord_Ikka]

Locke's a Lord Inquisitor? Did we know that before and I just missed it? Lord Inquisitors sling people even further into the deep end.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yep, he is.

 

I'm pretty sure it got brought up earlier.

 

I might have been fat-fingered again and mistyped him as Lrod Locke, but that's an infamous exotic male dancer from Arbela-Circe IX, who in 881.M37 was the highest paid and sought after performer for certain closed Ladies social functions and pre-marital parties. Detractors called him  'Lrod the Bod' , but this is scurrilous speculation by unworthy guttersnipes.

 

What is true, however, is that his career came to a sticky end, when, during a performance of fire-eating, he bathed the entire front row of his audience in flaming alcohol, thereby destroying the venue, scorching six ladies-in-waiting of the Governess, and frightening her small lapdog Toby so severely, the animal added insult to injury.

 

For his untoward behaviour, Lrod was banished from the planet, and rumour has it he died in a skiing accident on his home world.

Well it looks like Kerr Restal is the only party member that will be getting any XP.

 

Bardas possibly if he stays in the desert.

Hey man. My job was to take the Valkyrie to the Spaceport and transfer it to the pilot. Mission accomplished.

 

Then I was supposed to collect the VIP from The Gallows, and she's collected.

 

I'm 2 for 2 here. Flawless service record...

Yes but Flawless service cannot stop a Lance Strike from Orbit.
