[BC] The Blackest Heart (OOC)

[Lysimachus]

Thanks GM, post edited to show proper number of Hits, etc.

 

Swift Attack is definitely my next pick! (Disappointing not to have Eska there too, quite a bit of Hagga's xp so far is sunk into stuff that benefits from fighting next to her, but alas she would have struggled with the environment!)

 

[Machine God]

Did Hagga and the Marines hear Kraggan's announcement?

Maybe with more augmentation, the Machine trait. 

 

"Yes, yes we could Davros!" 

 

"We could turn Eska into an Attack Daggit! Would you like that Boxey?"

Only the ones with comms. The shipwide vox would be useless in the hangar bay.

[Machine God]

Hearing the scum known as Druid prattle on....

 

Kraggan thinks like McCoy at 4:05

Instructions unclear: Klingon stuck on Port bow. Please advise.

I was unsure about the state of Rakash’s vox, so I  deliberately left it out 

 

Is there still rabble to mop up among our first target group when Hagga and Ukalegon are finished with them? 
 

oh, and is there anything like a flight control  room/ bay over watch ?

Nothing to worry about….

And nicely done, too.

Good thinking.

Always more where that came from. I'll drop an update for the Landing Bay after the next poster, since we're trying to keep it "fairly" crunch-light.

Yes, above you on tier 3.

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham I added a damage roll for Ukalegon. I presume he is still locked in combat with a horde of purple bros, right?

 

Edit: oops I forgot the flesh render roll; I'll remember for the next one (not that it really matters much against this trash as I'm pretty sure Ukalegon auto-wounds through his strength bonus alone).

 

More rolls incoming...

Edited Sunday at 06:15 PM by Necronaut

[Mazer Rackham]

Correct. Basically anything over 5 points results in Mag Dam.

 

I'll have to look up if extra DoS on the Attack provokes another hit on Hordes. I can't recall immediately.

Am I reading this right that Rakash just took 23 Damage to the chest ( over 19 HP total)  - is that after Armor?!

Nah, you've got armour and TB to come off that. I was eating a sandwich whilst trying to land a 747.

Pretty sure it's 1 for the initial Hit, plus 1 for every 2 DoS, so Ukalegon's 4DoS means 3 Hits?

 

So with Hagga's 3, that squad is down from 15 to 9?

 

I know we aren't really doing proper 'Rounds' in this fight, but did Rakash get to act? Should we hold off and let him do stuff before we take our next turns?

Derp, Eska does have Machine 2, so no need to breathe... does that mean she could have come along?

There is probably a rule against that… or at least, there should be…
 

So, that’s 23 - 13 [8 (Legion + 5 (TB)] =  10 HP damage ( 9 remaining ) ?

 

Edit @Lysimachus - No, we were explicitly told not bring any pets by our omnipotent GM

Astartes also have Unnatural Toughness 4, so your overall TB is 9

Yep, Xin can break some noses.

How much AG she got? Might have trouble with the gravity, hence my no pets rule since if she got the Scatter dice, she could be shot out into the deep dark, and that's game over, man.

Hey, I'll have you know I flew over 1,300 sandwiches in my career, and never crashed one of them!

Don't be daft lad, whatever for?

[Lysimachus]

@Mazer Rackham sorry boss, wasn't sure, you didn't ask for an Ag roll for Hagga as well, was he far enough out of the blast?

 

Also, very minor point, but will Cyrandras get one extra Hit+Dam because the bolter is X?

No, just Ukalegon, he's fighting a different complement, hence he was the sole target - I'll specifically try to kill er, apply it to you as appropriate.

Yes he will, we can assume an extra Mag Dam. I'm autopiloting though, so if I forget things and we move on...big boy trousers, yes?

Any chance/ opportunity to TK sling something unpleasantly heavy and or explosive in the way of the descending mobs?

You can do it narratively before initiative 'cuts in', if that makes sense?

[A.T.]

Sanity check - would Xerxes think there was any practical chance of disrupting the purple cults operations by spiking the comms, or would he just be damaging quality gear for no good cause?
