[DH1e] The Damocles Contingency (OOC)

[Lysimachus]

Not meaning any offence to anyone, but should I roll Wp just for Reynard, or can/should I roll for all 3 PCs in the hangar?

@Lysimachus go ahead and roll yours bud, I'll roll for the rest.

 

@Trokair Give me your dice.

Would you like them by parcel or ground to a powder so they fit in a a letter? 

 

 

I should have some time tonight to move Bardas on from where he is. I have an idea, and this time i made a note of it. 

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham does everyone need to roll an opposed WP test or only those in the hangar? I'll try to have a narrative update posted for Scourge sometime this afternoon local time.

I think it's just those in The Hangar.

 

Helene is not Alpha Grade hopefully. She shouldn't be able to effect those in the Halls of Judgement.

 

Hopefully.

[Necronaut]

@Machine God that was my assumption too. The most recent IC post seems to confirm -- please disregard. 

[Mazer Rackham]

MG has it. Only WP for those in the hangar.

[Necronaut]

Updated post with damage rolls (since we're doing this semi-narratively). Thanks for the clarification. 

[Lord_Ikka]

I'm beginning to think that Nicios should have joined up with Reynard. Of course, he would then have to kill/attempt to kill Helene for the third time....

corpse is pulled back and to an upright sitting position.

 

Emphasis mine.

 

Is she dead then? After all the effort he's put in to keep her alive, Reynard is going to be ed off if she is!

Apologies, Typo. It's meant to say 'corpse-like'.

 

Haven't slept for about three days.

 

Are you real?

Players keep stabbing her with stuff that isn't working, whilst not stabbing with stuff that will...what's a GM to do? 

 

If all goes well, things will work out just fine....

So I might be completely off as to the cameras erratic behaviour and the reason behind it, but it seemed like an idea so I ran with it.

Sorry, Brain is being slow, can’t make much sense out of this right now.

I assume the 0900, 1200 and 0300 are time.

Anybody have any insight?

This is 40k, anything that works temporarily is still technically a win. Just repeat forever*.

 

*(in a rogue trader game I ran years ago the players visited a world where an entire hive was dedicated to the maintenance of a vast nova-cannon like weapon. It had been assembled thousands of years ago to encompass a mystery portal that had opened up and once in position they just held down the trigger, slowly mining out the continent to maintain and supply it. Problem solved).

GM: Alright chaps, we're going to get the hammer down by railroading you along a bit, but from here on out there aren't many choices for you anyway, so I trust you'll forgive me.

 

Choo choo.

All tracks lead to Rome is it?

 

Fair enough, you did say a while back that this was the last segment before the grand finale.

Don't worry about your bit, we'll sort you out, then give people the choice to do whatever.

 

I will be putting Cutter and Solomon into sidings though (keeping up the train analogies) unless I hear from the players, leaving the active troops to face the Golem and his circus of horrors.

[Mazer Rackham]

If you have any further dialogue, or queries for Locke, etc, go ahead and drop them in now.

 

I'm going to move us all forward to the Tower of Echoes, and then we'll close the chapter, allocate XP and other gubbins, before moving to the end.

 

@Trokair we'll push your story on as well. As far I know, you were trying to isolate the controls to the thermal sink, so we'll complete that, and send you off to meet up with the crew in the Tower. Is that alright?

Something like that, it be ashame if after victory over the golem it killed the hive out of spite. Also a general look around the AdMech enclave and see what the true situation is, as we learned not that great, and don't hug servitors.

 

Also given that my dice seem to have decided that the hive is a vechile (given their rolls in the controll room) and we all know how that normaly goes, it might be best to just leave...

 

[Mazer Rackham]

If the Golem is still going after a 'victory' then all bets are off, because you're likely all dead...

[Trokair]

First of all I love these little footnotes you put in from time to time, Adept Antoninus Blockhead Slipshod Jury gave me a good chuckle.

 

 

Secondly for clarity, is Lazlo offering a way for the team to reach the golems inner layer in the final act, or is this just a way for Bardas to get out of hostile territory and back to the oters in readiness for the final act?
