I still have the old dice, but dare I use them?

 

@Trokair if your dice continue to betray you in this manner, it may be time to instill some fear in them. I suggest crushing one to powder in a vise or hydraulic press while forcing the others to watch.

[Trokair]

So looks like the conscensous it to open the box and see wheter it is a good cat day. 

[Mazer Rackham]

This is where you open the box, but the die isn't inside....

[Trokair]

Ok, I'm looking

 

its 0, thats even right? 

 

So @Mazer Rackham Fate point burned...

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

From 0 to hero! Watch this space...

 

Spoiler

(Now he rolls a ten...!) 

 

[Necronaut]

Poor Bardas has really been run through the ringer in this campaign... Twice.

Should keep you all safe from the attention of Lady Fate, right?

[Mazer Rackham]

Ha, ha! I'm sure it will...

 

Spoiler

 

[Lord_Ikka]

Anyone else think Bardas pissed off the Omnissiah somehow? He can't get near moving vehicles without some sort of deadly event.

[Mazer Rackham]

Alright gentlemen, we'll tie this Chapter off here.

 

We've still got a few bits to resolve, so that will be the focus of the next Chapter (hopefully a short one), and then onto the final Chapter of the Part, and game end. If you want to wrap up anything before moving to the Strategium, speak now or forever hold my beer.

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham it looks like Lysimachus and I posted simultaneously (again!). I think it would narratively make more sense if Scourge's suggestion(s) came after Reynard's. 

[Lysimachus]

Yep, sorry dude! 

 

I agree, though, that probably flows better. 

[Lysimachus]

@Necronaut Did you want me to hide your post and then you can repost it after mine so it flows better?

[Necronaut]

Not your fault, mate! It seems we are sympatico in that regard. :)

If you'd like!

There we go, done. Keeps things tidy for our GM, anyway! 

 

(I assume you've still got your text, but the post is only hidden if you do need it?)

[Necronaut]

Yep I keep a running Google doc for all of my IC posts and the like, nothing has been lost. Having given it a little think, I might actually delay Scourge's proposal until after Locke addresses Reynard's questions regarding DeGrassi and the Ordo Xenos agents, as it is a slightly out of character thing for Scourge to suggest, save that he enjoys seeing heretics burn. ;)

[Trokair]

I know Bardas is currently ‘indisposed’ to the tactical discussion, but if he was there his comments would be along the line of destroy the golem, but if you need something to trade to the Lady Inquisitor present here with one of the golem’s corrupted Mech things, it will have enough taint to look the part, but not the mind or guile to be the same threat as the thing that spawned it.  

[Mazer Rackham]

That's fine, Tro - what we'll do is put you through a relay as you're going up-hive.

 

I'll drop an IC to reflect that - maybe Cephas reporting in through the secure network, patching you in.

 

Any good?

I should have prefaced that with ‘the Bardas before Mad Max Adventure Time (TM)’, the current one is a little more wired, we will see how he is once he is back on his feet (metaphorical at least, but actual feet are also good).

So no need to loop Bardas into the conference on my account.

[Mazer Rackham]

Ok, that gives me room.

 

Will get something together for Bardas in a bit.

[Mazer Rackham]

Alright gentlemen, with no further insights or queries, that will wrap this Chapter.

 

XP:

• All Players receive 300xp

Awards:

 

All Players may take one of the following:

• Forbidden Lore (Inquisition)
• Forbidden Lore (Mutants)
• Forbidden Lore (Psykers)
• Or Add (+10) to one of these Forbidden Lore Talents if you already have it.

And:

• 250 Throne Gelt

Players may also receive:

• Common Lore (Imperial Navy)
• Common Lore (Adeptus Arbites)
• Or Add (+10) if you already have the Talent.

Bardas receives:

• 1 x Common Craftsmanship Cybernetic Arm
• 2 x Common Craftsmanship Cybernetic Legs

 

All Fate and Wounds are Restored.

 

For the next Chapter, just let me know how you want to play things, who's going where and doing what. Locke and Haldane are going nowhere, so if you do have more questions fire away. It may be beneficial if you discuss what you want to do, and then go from there.

 

I'm all ears for further GM questions.

Got swamped by work over the weekend and am just now out of the hole. It's past 11 PM for me, but I plan on catching up on the thread tomorrow. Sorry for the absence.

[Machine God]

@Mazer Rackham - The Award Skills do we have to spend XP to get them or are they gratis? 

[Lord_Ikka]

Nicios will take the Forbidden Lore (Inquisition) and take Common Lore (Arbites). He will spend 200 XP on Power Well (giving him +1 to manifest), and I guess...Pysniscience + 10, leaving 50XP to spare. Was thinking about dipping into the Disciples of the Dark Gods book to take Soul Killer Psychic Power, but don't have the XP after getting Power Well and don't know if that would be possible.

 

I think, like normal apparently, Nicios will accompany Falk- the two work together pretty well.

[Lysimachus]

Reynard will take FL:Inq and CL:AA, and will purchase:

 

Dodge+10 (100)
Catfall (100)
Leap Up (100)

 

And will also immediately spend 50 of the 250 on a RDS for his Combat Shotgun - found it very useful on the pistol, and it should help with getting DoS for SABs and Scatter (and I can still just scrape it through without causing Encumbrance!  )

 

As to tasks, Reynard really wants to go looking for Seb's dad like he promised, but I think he will be most useful 'negotiating' with De Grassi.
