[DH1e] The Damocles Contingency (OOC)

[Machine God]

Kerr Restal will accompany Falk and Nicios on their mission.

[Lord_Ikka]

I'm confused- is Falk going with Reynard to deal with De Grassi or with Nicios to Grey 17?

Oops, yeah I though Reynard was the only one going to De Grassi so I went ahead with my post, thought Falk was with Nicios (and Restal and Scourge?) and going to hunt Ordo Xenos agents? (and Greyson, if he isn't one)

 

If I'm jumping ahead, I can edit my post?

AFAICT, Falk, Nicios, Restal and Scourge are going after Greyson, or at least that's what I thought. Reynard is solo with De Grassi, Bardas is solo downhive.

 

I think A.T's post is inside the armoured transport heading for Grey 17- since he says if they fail, De Grassi is going to get smushed like everyone else - or that's what I got from it. Am I reading that right @A.T.?

 

@Lysimachus, just hang fire, chap until we sort it.

 

I'll rejig the posts if that is not the case...

Are we sure it's wise to send Reynard by himself to deal with DeGrassi?

 

Meh, he'll be fine.

Ah, sorry. I thought I had been put in the De Grassi car - i'll change my post in the morning when i'm properly awake.

Your concern is most gratifying... 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, with clarification sorted I assume I'm good to move Reynard on then?

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

We'll push on with Reynard for a minute to allow further interaction between Falk and Co.

 

Cheers for your shuffling @A.T. 

[Trokair]

@Mazer Rackham where has the hive map gone? I thought it was in the data/character thread but I can't see it there, wanted to refresh my memory of the relative location of House tirant ant the AdMech enclave.

[Mazer Rackham]

@Trokair That got purged with a load of other stuff when I deleted the album.

 

I'll see if I can resurrect it later, but House Tirant is at the bottom of the hive, and the surface access for the magrail terminal at the very foot of the hive, is within its territory. If looking at the old map, Tirant is to the left of the main heat sink shaft, on the 'sunward' side of the building (Same side as the Templum of Iacinda).

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham sorry mate, I got swamped and haven't been able to get a post put together for Scourge. Will try to get caught up today. 

[Mazer Rackham]

@Necronaut, no sweat, chap. It's not like I tried to kill you yet, so go steady 

[Machine God]

@Mazer Rackham - thank you. Just how heavy is this new Auspex?

[Mazer Rackham]

@Machine God it's chunky. Like IBM 1979 chonk. However, since this is not your standard gear, and issued by GM Fiat, we can assume it comes with a good solid leather strap to put around your shoulder, thereby distributing the load appropriately to take you up to max load cap and not beyond. Perhaps reflect this in your narrative. 

 

EDIT: In other news, I've managed to find an re-upload the hive diagram. Might be a bit smaller than the last one, but can't have everything.

At final count, Scourge's XP spend is now:

 

- Intimidate +10 (100xp)

- Basic Weapon Training (Flame) (100xp)

- Takedown (100xp)

 

And spent Thrones:

 

- Exterminator cartridges x2 (70 thrones)

- Bolt Shells x11 (176 thrones), giving him 1x full magazine

- Filtration Plugs x1 (15 thrones)

Methinks we have a Quisling

@Marshal Valkenhayn

Sorry, had not realised Solomon was going with Bardas, otherwise I would have narrated accordingly.  I guess he is keeping the escape route open in case we need to leg it in a hurry.

[Necronaut]

Well that made for a strange turn of events! 

[Mazer Rackham]

Lexandro is a complicated and three-dimensional character. Once you're not his opponent, if he notices you, he's...different. He has to be, otherwise nobody would put up with him.

 

His arc needed to be resolved as well.

Good lord Nicios can't get a break on Initiative...

 

Time to invest in Paranoia, I am sure Nicios has plenty of good reasons.

 

 

Marshal Valkenhayn, I assume it is acopy paste error (as i have had simmilar issues myself from such) but in your most recent post you have the entire segment twice.  

[A.T.]

So... charge of the light brigade, or should out "Kneel before Zod the Inquisition" throw up the big glowing sign in the hopes that they like the others thought they were just fighting mercs?

 

I suspect Restal may want to try that before he becomes a human shield for Scourge :p

[Necronaut]

The best armor is a low calibre bullet sponge! 

 

Edit: if anything, Restal is about to become a firing bipod for a Godwyn-Diaz pattern boltgun ;)

If anything my friend, you are going to be decidedly unhealthy to be around....

[Machine God]

Range is long. Are we using the errata for Accurate and Aiming? 

[Mazer Rackham]

Yes.

 

EDIT: Just a quick clarification on the Dodge buybacks - this works like Step Aside, it's only one Dodge per Attack. You boys can read the rules for that in DH: Core.
