[BC] The Blackest Heart (OOC)

[BadgersinHills]

Hope the timeline makes sense on my post since I made it a bit late. The guilt/ghosts would have skewed Acchiersum's perception of time. Hopefully he makes it back in time!

@Mazer Rackham hey I have been utterly swamped with work and RL nonsense. I'll try to get my placeholder filled sometime this evening or tomorrow but I have had hardly any time to myself. Please assume that my placeholder was intended to take place during Hagga's looting shopping spree aboard the mining platform and that Ukalegon returned to the ship around the same time. We can say he took over overseeing operations aboard the bridge whilst the rest are running around like chickens with their proverbial heads removed.

Ukalegon drunk with Mrs Miggins admiring his girthy tail.

 

Gotcha.

Sorry, just checking again, did the halon gas flood both ceiling and floor ducts? I was getting the impression it was a 'nice try' situation (flooded the ceiling ducts, but he's in the floor!)

 

Now I'm not sure...? So, we got him?

As far as I understood, Mojake wanted the whole smash, so he got the whole smash. The Halon would have to be able to have lots of ingress to an armoury to put out fires quickly.

There's only one way to find out...

 

EDIT: Just an FYI @Iron Father Ferrum, I'm perfectly happy for Obi to 'get off da choppa' if he wants. Thainn can take it from here.

[Lysimachus]

Awesome, thank you sir! (That does make sense that it would flood everything near the Armoury)

[Lysimachus]

@Mojake sorry bud, forgot to answer Varne, have now edited it into latest post.

 

 

[Lysimachus]

I'm really confused by 'a knot'. Is something tied through the grill? What material, more deadline? Implying another explosive?

 

So, we don't want to lift the grate yet. Can we cut through the deadline, and then lift it?

You could indeed.

I feel the Penn and Teller dig was a little hurtful, but that's fine.

I am sorry.

 

Being executed as spies should take your mind off it, though.

 

Please accept this humble consolation*.

@Lysimachus do we trust Eska to drag the assailant out without turning them into a chew toy?

[Lysimachus]

I suspect a quadruped is better suited to the shape of the duct? How big is the x-section, can she turn around if needed?

 

I'm going to be busy for a few hours, but I'll send her in once I'm back.

[Mazer Rackham]

Doggle can get in and out.

Well gentlemen, that is both Compacts complete. Watch this space for Rewards and XP. Some of you have CP's as well, so happy, armpit tentacle days. Next stop, I have to decide if the Bounty assault is an Operation or Undertaking, since a lot was done which overlaps.

 

Shout and scream amongst yourselves.

 

REWARDS, XP and You:

 

I have decided that since there were no bulk haulers at Platform Opal, this Secondary Objective is removed and no Infamy is given. This will mean that each team of the Party gain exactly the same of everything, which simplifies it massively for everyone concerned.

 

Each player Receives:

• 500xp (Total)
• 13 Infamy Points (Total)
• 5 Corruption (Total)
  • Primary Completed 3 Inf
  • Secondaries x 4 2 Inf each (8)
  • Dedicated Compacts:
    • Bonus Infamy (D5) - 2
    • Bonus Corruption (D5) - 5

 

In addition:

• Varne/Mojake
  • + D3 Corruption (3)
• Atesh/Fabius
  • + D5 Corruption (5)
• Xerxes/AT
  • + D3 Corruption (1)

 

The supplies and booty (Not Mrs Miggins) has already been accounted for.

Ukalegon is, finally, after accruing a total of 2650 xp, finally north of 20 Infamy, and may now use Infamy points like like any sane, rational adherent of Chaos.

[Mazer Rackham]

Right gentlemen, over the course of the next week/ten days we need to thrash out your Mission Plan.

 

This is what was mooted before we broke what was happening down into Undertakings. For reference (because I know someone will ask) they can be found as the Operation in the Data Thread.

 

Here are the articles:

 

Primary Objective: Destabilise or Overthrow the planet of 'Bounty'

 

Secondary Objectives:

1. Subvert, destroy or capture Orbital Lading Platform.
   1. Make 'effective' landing on Bounty.
   2. Secure landing site.
2. Subvert, eliminate or convert local production populace.
   1. Incite riots;
   2. Instigate cults;
   3. Detect, activate and support cults.
3.  Secure, destroy, or tamper with local foodstuffs and off-world supplies.
   1. Secure 'Supplies' resources;
   2. Adulterate foodstuffs;
   3. Destroy comestible stores;
   4. Allow foodstuffs to go off-world.
4. Abrade PDF and Loyalist forces.
   1. Eliminate or subvert PDF patrols;
   2. Destroy Arbites Patrols and materiel;
   3. Destroy the Arbites bastion.
5. Destroy the capital, Harville.
6. ?? Profit??

Now, some of these will have to change, and some of them cannot be done in the format they were mooted. There have been narrative outcomes which preclude certain options. For now, I'd like Players to have a look over Secondaries 2-5, and as before, when they were originally floated have a conflab about who, where, when, how.

 

I'm not looking for anything concrete yet. I do have some ideas based on what just happened IC, and you should bear that in mind as a guide. Bear in mind your Tertiaries, or your plans for them. Please don't come to me with them yet, keep them on ice until a framework is built to hold them - your ideas now might not marry up to the agreed plan then.

 

Other than that, go ahead and scream and shout as per below.

[Mojake]

Varne has now passed 10 Corruption...

 

Spoiler

Gift of the Gods:

Roll: 71 (Nerveless Ennui)

 

Can be adjusted +/- 4, which leaves me with Magnificent Horns, Warped Appearance, Mechanoid, Pervasive Miasma and Projectile Attack as potentials...

 

He will be taking:

• Tier 1 Talent: Sound Constitution
• Characteristic Advance: Toughness

@Mazer Rackham how many in-game days do we have roughly before the next scene so I can throw up some downtime stuff on the IC? I don't want Varne's gift to just appear out of nowhere 

[Mojake]

I think since we have already made a dent in food production, it would be a good idea to fan the flames of rebellion. To that end, I think destroying the Arbites bastion and/or patrols to stop them from being able to put down revolts would be a good idea.

 

Sorry for double-post!

Nor should it. 

 

We're on down-time now, so whatever happens IC doesn't have an exact timestamp, so to speak, so you can just go ahead and put it in whenever. In game it will be about three or four days (maybe a week) until you pick up at Perugia, so there's leeway.

Another trangressor! Bring forth the green jelly and unleash the wildebeest!

[Necronaut]

@Mojake don't forget you get 2x rolls on the Gift of Ye Gods table if you're unaligned!

[Mojake]

Other options from my roll of 03 are Animal Hybrid, Addiction or Bestial
