Lord_Ikka Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Land at the outpost, determine the garrison's loyalty. If traitors, plan a method of attack that maximizes our chances of retrieving supplies while minimizing damage. If loyal, convince them to give as much resupply as possible, and maybe convince the garrison itself to join the crew.

Lysimachus Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Logic would suggest Ekene, he's already been speaking to them? Maybe introduce Hadad now as well, makes them less likely to blow us out of the sky on approach? Â In fact, they did invite us to visit: Â Still it will be good to see another Astartes face before you leave. Â Maybe accept the invite, and add that there are matters we wish to discuss as Astartes, without mortal involvement, hence why we'd like to come direct to the garrison (again, if they know Hadad is aboard, they might be more inclined to let us land inside their big defences, which gives us a much better chance of survival if they aren't friendly?)

Â Â Â Elvrit was just saying what he thought they should say next, rather than ordering anyone to do so. Â Like I said, it makes sense to me for Ekene to send the message (as he sent the first one, and the garrison replied to him?) and perhaps introduce Hadad at this point... but if Urauloth is busy, could/should we maybe type something out on his behalf?

Trokair Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Fair enough, and yes if Urauloth is currently indisposed then we should. Do we know how he is at the moment?  I could try and getting something up tomorrow/tuesdayish evening. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/381759-a-time-of-reaving-interest/page/13/#findComment-6019447 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Question: what are the chances of getting our sneaky bois off the 'hawk and into the base while we are landing? (Just in case talking to the 2 who have come out goes badly!) Â I guess that if we have told them he is with us, Hadad should make the first approach?

Lysimachus Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Just thinking... they know that we have at least 3 Legions among us - arrived on a Salamanders ship, have a (former) IW aboard, and now turn up in a DA 'hawk. Is there any point in hiding that we also have IH and RG with us? Â The only problem is that if the IW already know about what the traitors were planning on Istvaan (i.e. they are traitors themselves) then they are going to immediately put 2 and 2 together and work out that is where we've come from?

Lysimachus Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 It seems like they aren't buying it... Â How far is it from the T'hawk ramp to Sul/Hadad/Thorg? And then from them to the fortress entrance? Â Do we want to disembark the rest of us and try and get as close to the entrance as possible, in case it turns into a fight? Â My gut feeling is that they are loyalists and don't have a clue what is going on, in which case I would say we should be as honest as we can... but I could be totally wrong...

Mazer Rackham Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 An apothecary isn't an officer, per se, but as a notary of the Legion, it might come with a bit of authority.

Lysimachus Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 One little idea that popped into my head just now... Â If they do turn out to be real loyalists and know nothing about Istvaan or Horus Heresy, and if we tell them the truth about it... Â should we tell them one lie and say that the IW fought on the loyalist side? Hadad being with us would make it believable? Â That way we don't need to worry about how they might respond to being told that their whole Legion had turned traitor? Â It would also take away the risk that they'd choose loyalty to their Primarch over loyalty to the Emperor, and attack us?
