[BC] The Blackest Heart (OOC)

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham not to nit-pick (but totally to nit-pick because scumbaggery is part and parcel of Black Crusade), shouldn't our now-deceased stooge have gotten a bonus mag damage from firing explosive rounds?

[Mazer Rackham]

As per Lysi's post:

 

For preference, I'd rather he took a half Aim and a Standard Shot to maximise his chances of hitting, rather than a SAB. All I want is 1 Hit (+1 for X) to take the Mag down to a (marginally) safe(r) level.

 

So that's what you got. 1 Hit + 1 Hit Explosive.

Oh oops I missed the single shot, my mistake. Please disregard! (Please don't smite me! )

No guarantees....

 

However, let me elaborate on what happened, because I think I need to let people peek behind the curtain a bit.

40 BS +20 Incursion, +10 Half Aim, + 10 Standard Attck, +10 Mag, -10 Long Range = 80, right?

 

When I did the first roll, it rolled 93, a Miss. Then I thought, I'll give 'em a free re-roll, 'because GM.' It rolled 97, Miss and Jam. That's when I decided, you know what, the story comes first, and my Player deserves a reward for interacting with what I offered, and the game needs to move on.

 

EDIT: Last post edited with Round One/Two.

Gentlemen of Krokodil 4-2 whilst the Marines are mutually beating the snot, is there anything you want to try, or should I move to Initiative?

[Trokair]

Was there any time left to do anything?

 

As far as I am aware in the minute warning period

• Kragan got some Intel in the form of downloaded logs
• Xerxes spotted the potential ambush route
• Cru’ax moved next to the door ready to stab the first hostile through
• Tarh took down a hostile and reposition so as to aim at the next one approaching the door.

 

Perhaps Xerxes can attempt to weld shut the suspicions vent?

 

 

I kinda a assumed we were waiting on initiative, but that that would be after the Marine conflict wound down so as to not have two overlapping combats.

All appreciated - yes, Xerxes can attempt to weld the vent cover closed, no problem. No test required, it's a simple enough job. Once/if that's done, I'll move your group to Initiative - although as you say, to ease the pressure of two combats, Krokodil 4-2 will be Structured Time Light (You-go-I -go).

 

Is that ok for everyone?

[Lysimachus]

Very quick one, I assume in that last post you meant Ukalegon to start R2, not Hagga...

 

Out of interest, when you say the Hordes are now 100m and 90m away, is that distance from Hagga and Cyrandras on the level 2 gantry? If Ukalegon did a Full Fly move upwards in R1, is he now close enough to get a Charge off into either Horde?

Oops! Yes, I did - sorry, I'll fix that.

Yes, and yes, with a good Operate Test, yes he can get to the closest.

Do not fear, brother, for you have my axe.

 

But, please stop hitting yourself with it.

[Necronaut]

@Mazer Rackham don't worry, I have replacement characters on the back-burner.

Yeees.

 

That's what worries me...

[Lord_Ikka]

Kinda glad I didn't choose a psyker off the bat, what with the rolls lately...

Not sure what you mean - my rolls are ace.

 

I think we got a good character in Crux'As, I'm hoping we'll see gore more, more of him shortly...

 

@Necronaut alright, I'm putting the choice into your hands - do you want to roll the Scatter Die (lol sounds like a brand of ammunition)? If so, roll up 1D10, post it here and we'll see what happens.

 

Because I'm into transparent Player Murder, these are the numbers to AVOID: 3, 5, 9, 10.

@Mazer Rackham D10: 6 (THE BLESSED NUMBER PRAISE SLAANESH)

[Mazer Rackham]

Excellent. 

 

However, I must advise you that you are going to feel a slight discomfort as your fuel lines erupt and turn you into a head-on-ist.

 

Iscario loves you.

One of these days Ukalegon will have a working jump pack again. On a related note, if Ukalegon survives this ordeal, he is going to gut the tech-priest who assigned him the current unit in use with his bare hands.

 

Edit: if this kills Ukalegon then he'll be dead-dead. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200. No ticky, no laundry.

Enjoy the ride.

Solo adventure time! Huzzah!

 

Edit: I suppose I should thank you for not obliterating my character. Thanks, I think?
