Lysimachus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) I was considering having Eska chase the cat, but even before this bit... Quote The cat leaps away, to strut atop another console, from whence it stares at Rakash, before leaping to a lintel further and higher up, slowly settling down to watch him intently with unwavering gaze. GM: Rakash, (Warp Sense) the gaze is thoroughly unsettling, and quite, quite otherworldly. ...I thought to myself 'Nope. If anything on this ship is Delly's physical form, it's probably the damn cat...'

Machine God Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 @Mojake - A modifier given as Hard - 20 makes the test more difficult.

Lysimachus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 @Xin Ceithan Am I right in thinking that your latest post slots in just before mine and Mazer's, so Hagga has answered by taking Rakash to one side and giving him a full account of what he saw, and now the daemon-cat has appeared and is staring at you?

Indeed. I already tried to reframe my original post a bit when I found your post up this morning already. Next, I was ninja’d by a cat !! I have edited the post - hooe it makes more sense now….

Lysimachus Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 No, no, your post made perfect sense. I was just debating whether I should hide and repost my post so that it was after yours (and possibly Mazer might cut that bit re: the cat from his post and repost it at the bottom) so that we were following on in proper order? I dunno, probably not worth playing with it, I think we all know what's what and when's when!

Machine God Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The blasted servitor prepares to exchange blows, but at the last moment, it twitches, stays it's hand, and is cleaved down by your axe. GM: Anyone may notice this with a Hard (-20) Perception Test. GM - I take it that this doesn't include Kraggan?

Mazer Rackham Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 Ever seen the film 'The men who stare at goats'? It's like that but it's a cat. A heartbeat is a lifetime in the realm of the mind, so you wouldn't notice immediately, but would certainly cotton on after a wee bit. Feel free to ask him a query IC, and then realise his eyes are streaming from the staring contest.

Mazer Rackham Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 @Xin Ceithan ONLY. Spoiler You're in a fight now. Your opponent won by a substantial margin (I rolled 001) to direct your narrative, post to me (GM ONLY) the psychic struggle, but have a teeth-gritted call to Hagga or something as you sink to your knees. Your opponent is clearly toying with you, like a ball of string. You know how evil felids are...

A.T. Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 hmm... would we trust a bound daemonic cat to be a warp navigator? Fast reactions, self preservation instincts.
