Edit: I think part of the collective indecision is that we are in a sandbox with options to choose, but no significant goal to orientate our choices.

It may have been made up for you at this point... Tro, then me, then Mazer all said we'd go for Phastus if pushed to a vote, and Ikka posted to the same effect IC? That's 4 out of 6 players, so I guess that's decision made? Mazer Rackham 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Haha yeah, I'm inclined that way as well, hence asking Tro about it IC. I want to know what's going on with that milk. Mazer Rackham 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazer Rackham Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 (edited) I now imagine Hadad attending a buffet held in the honour of the Astartes, slowly wandering up and down the tables, sneering at all the 'fancy' cheese. Upon his plate is one small, triangular sandwich (egg and cress), with the crusts cut off, and two of those little sausages on cocktail sticks. And maybe a small fairy cake. (Pink icing).

Though I could see a small slice of cheddar being on there as well, or perhaps one of those little ones that come in red wax covering that used to always end up in lunch boxes.

Trokair Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 @Lysimachus, I am not actually that knowledgeable in regards to Iron Warriors tactics and such beyond they are siege specialists, so the rest of that conversation with Elvrit will probably need to be in the abstract/of camera.

Lysimachus Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Yep, no worries, I just figured Elvrit would ask as part of his preparations, that way if we do end up in a fight with some IW I can use it as a bit of a narrative hook?

Lysimachus Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Just checking, we arrived 1 day out, and this is after 1 hour, so we're still 23 hours out and we've still got a bit of time to make plans, etc? I know I suggested we pretend to be an IW ship, but if Hadad can't remember anything useful, we might not get away with that and might need to come up with something else...

Mazer Rackham Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) We're a single Sword, so we're not that big or threatening. We're affordable for a Rogue Trader, maybe. We're a neutral ship coming in for resupply, mauled by xenos or something. Did we spoof the idents? Adjust speed and handling, make it look worse than it is. We just need to make sure we match nothing in the databases. Be handy to have a good liar to take the call, too. *Looks at Arazakiel, sidelong* Edited December 20, 2023 by Mazer Rackham Lysimachus 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we kind of need to talk to them first and find out where they stand? Otherwise we might end up trying to sneak in (or go in guns blazing) and then find out they were loyalists after all... But we'd also need to find that out without revealing who we are, just in case they are bad guys...?

Trokair Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) What about claiming we are a specilist taskforce put togeter from several legions to hunt some particular nasty Xenos pirates. It explains why we have members from different Legions, and perhaps also why the ship looks damaged. Ifthey are traitor they may not belive us, but we would know fro mthe responce they are traitor if they are loyalist they may belive it for long enough for us to determin that they are loaylist...

Lysimachus Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Maybe a combination of those ideas? We could claim to be a Rogue Trader's ship, part of a scouting task force hunting for a particular xenos threat (or even their home system?) so that the Legions can crush it. Maybe we are all that is left of that task force? Maybe we could even claim that we don't know anything about the Heresy, we've been out in the gaps between Imperial systems for months, no contact, etc, etc. That would mean we wouldn't have to declare for one side or the other until we know more? "What? The Big E and Horus are best mates as far as I know...?" That said, I might avoid mentioning that we have any Astartes aboard at all, though. Our presence would be an immediate alarm bell in their minds, and we want to appear non-threatening, at least for now? Edit: if it became useful that we did have a IW aboard, he could just be from another garrison that got called up to act as a bodyguard for the Rogue Trader, and he is the only one left of his squad...?

Urauloth Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Sorry for being quiet the last couple days, my kitchen flooded and it's been taking most of my attention! Should be back on track now. As for approaching the planet, I don't think we can disguise being a Salamanders ship, but having an Iron Warrior aboard sounds very useful for communicating with the denizens. Claiming to be a combined force with no knowlege of the war is a gambit I like. Unless, of course, we can modify our ident signature? Wouldn't pass a visual-range inspection, but the tech-inclined individuals aboard might be able to do it. By the way, can I do anything to patch up my armour with the time and resources available?
