Deathwatch: Murderers in Black (OOC Thread)

[Lysimachus]

 

But yes Mr Mazer what you don't know is that it is a Tyranid Sleeper Organism and only the Adults are related to gene-stealers

 

 

I hearby swear that it is not a Genestealer and does not have Step Aside or any other ability that would give it extra Dodges. 

 

In fairness it is possible that the Dorghran Chilopoda is some sort of Tyranid vanguard organism from millennia earlier (like the Fenrisian Kraken is postulated to be, I think?) but as far as it matters here, it's just a big bug.

 

And one more decent hit* should finish it off and we can get back to the main storyline! 

 

 

 

 

*hell, with the lascannon a minimum damage roll will probably do the trick...

Will his Uber-Archmagnificency Inquisitor Kine be joining us shortly..?

Dun dun duuun!

[Mazer Rackham]

Alda pulls off her mask to reveal Kine:

 

'It was me all along! And - I would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for you damn overgrown kids!'

[Mike Zulu]

@Lysimachus Having slept on it, I realise I could have incorporated my grenade into the

Squad Mode action and left it at that…

 

I’m still getting used to Squad Mode… 

[Lysimachus]

 

Will his Uber-Archmagnificency Inquisitor Kine be joining us shortly..?

 

Not until he knows it's safe! (That's the kind of Inquisitor he is) Which means either repairing the hardwired vox line, or sending someone out to a point where their vox will connect with the surface? Possibly you'd want to do your own investigating before he comes in?

Gerhardt maglocked his boltgun to his leg plate and produced a strip of cloth from a belt pouch with which he wiped down the length of Drachenhauer.

 

 

So pray tell us @Necronaut - How does Gerhardt do this with his boltgun chained to his wrist?

 

 

 

 

[Lysimachus]

Very interesting thought. I'd say (from looking at the BT plastics) that there is usually a decent length of chain between wrist and weapon, so if you needed your hands free for something else you could maglock your weapons and still be able to move your arms? I guess that might limit your range of movement slightly, but definitely doable?

[Necronaut]

@Machine God the four-armed Emperor has blessed all of his sons with a multitude of gifts. 

[Lysimachus]

That is another... slightly worrying... option!

 

Replies made via PM re rolls so far.

[Necronaut]

Anyways that was a slight oversight on my part, but I envisioned something along the lines of what @Lysimachus posted. If it's truly ruining your immersion or suspension of disbelief, I'll slice it out.

No I'm fine

[Mazer Rackham]

 

Azadth: 75, Fail.

 

Oh, I see how it is.

 

Doc: 'Well, the amputation was a success.'

Me: *Looks down, screams*

Doc: 'Ah. Wrong leg. Nurse!'

[Lysimachus]

Nah, that would have been 2 DoF...

[Mazer Rackham]

 

Nah, that would have been 2 DoF...

 

Oh, yes? That's better is it?!

 

Doc: 'Well at least you won't have to buy a mismatched pair of shoes, now! I've saved you money!'

[Lysimachus]

There we go, I've answered all of the rolls with PMs again, giving details about the cavern or options for further exploration. Feel free to bring such points out and reveal them to the rest of the team!

[Lysimachus]

Just to check before I post anything more:

 

do any of the scouts want to try and go any deeper? I've not heard anything from @Urauloth or @Necronaut to that effect, and @Mazer Rackham said not (but you then successfully rolled the Navigation test for it, so I'm not sure...?)

 

 

@Mike Zulu I think both Omoc and Asterius had targets for Zidemi's auspex, did he want to check out the tripod holes on the upper path or maybe the rockfall?

 

 

 

[Mazer Rackham]

Apologies, I had a brainfart and couldn't remember if I needed a nav test to get back to the group in the chamber, so threw one in.

[Urauloth]

Wasn't planning on going any further in, @Lysimachus.

I'll do a post for going down the tunnel and checking in over the vox etc. Might have to be tomorrow though, the ol' work/life balance isn't very "balance" right now! Or very "life," come to that...

[Mike Zulu]

I’ll draft some responses tonight.

 

I presume I can walk between the two and do both scans? Otherwise, I’ll pick Omoc first as I believe he called first.

[Lysimachus]

Yep, absolutely.

 

To be honest with you, there probably isn't a lot to uncover with the little holes in ground (Tro's guess was a good one regarding the identical holes on the other side of the cavern!) so I won't ask for an auspex test there, though feel free to offer Zidemi's thoughts on them? The rockfall Asterius pointed out might benefit from a closer look though...

Nice.

 

Any chance of a shot of his Chapter Pauldron?

[Lord_Ikka]

As it is not yet finished, no... I'm not good at freehand, so I'm working up on how to do the Star Phantoms skull hourglass properly. Probably in a week or two when I've got some time to sit down and really work on it.

[Necronaut]

@Lysimachus I'm not crying, you're crying!
