A.T. Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 In terms of setting a target I would guess the two areas I would put forward for questions would be for some kind of bearing on the guardians and whether or not the humans we encountered (or are following) are tied to them. As the results would give us some indication of where to turn next.

Black Cohort Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 (edited) Something getting more specifics about the state of our objective? edit: didn't notice that there were posts on another page. AT has good questions.

Mazer Rackham Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 What do folks think of the newer info - at least we aren't being followed! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/10/#findComment-6137156 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akylas Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Tracking is an advanced skill so you have to at least be trained to attempt it, right? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/10/#findComment-6137699 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 (edited) Correct, it is down to A.T. as I think he is the only one with it trained. Edit: Had a thought, away from the files so i am not sure if anybody has surface navigation skill but if you do that could help with the tracking So, if anybody has Navigation (Surface) then a pass on a +0 Navigation Test that will provide a +15 Assist to the Tracking Edited October 21 by Trokair Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/10/#findComment-6137705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trokair Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 I have checked and only Venkarryn has Navigation (Surface) (for some reason this mornign I though there may be two of you that had it) so if he can pass his test that will help. perhaps a bit of naration of the two of you workign togeter to find a way would set the right spirits. Also a 50/50 forthe trackign is not bad, just not great.

Black Cohort Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 I rolled a 93 on my Navigation (Surface) check, so Ven is of no use at this moment.

Trokair Posted Sunday at 01:27 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:27 AM 2 hours ago, A.T. said: Ialandranth Veilseeker Run - 60m max distance - if the middle-east greenery offers full concealment he'll hide behind that, otherwise north into the heavier concealment Ok I played a little loose here, hope that is ok. I placed Ialandranth in the terrain I think you meant, as technically you would be hidden form the main Dark Eldar grouping, but one of them (Dark Kin 5) had just arrived before you, though on the north side of that terrain, taking cover between tree and rock. So you are hidden, but much closer then you might have liked. Also allowed me to add a bit of further information for the players as from where you now are you could see things that the character previously could not see, both in respect of the Raider and the nearby Dark Eldar.

Black Cohort Posted Sunday at 01:32 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:32 AM would my speed be slowed going through the trees? Also would it help to take one of the dark kin alive for questioning?

This is partialy for simplicity, partialy that while the trees are close enough to provide plenty of cover opportunities they are not so dense to hinder movement. 15 minutes ago, Black Cohort said: Also would it help to take one of the dark kin alive for questioning? I'll leave that for you all to decide if a cpature attempt is worth your while.

Mazer Rackham Posted Monday at 09:35 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:35 PM (edited) Just an FYI everyone, I have been in discussion with the GM, and he's offered us a few options - we can take control of the guardian and maybe try to get info from it later on if it survives. I'll have Saoirse open a telepathic link so we can all see/commune? Do we want to try and 'control' the construct, or have the Mad Psychic Bomber doing Psychic bomber stuff? If I take control of it, do we want to wade it into combat, and maybe take the memories/info from it before it's blown up, or march it off somewhere?

Trokair Posted Wednesday at 01:52 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:52 PM (edited) Just to add to that, another option available is to get ' The Information' now, but doing so would exclude the other option of directing/controlling the Guardian. Also directing/taking control would not use up Saoirse's action for the turn (as she already gave up last turns action to establish the psychic connection) so Mad Psychic Bomber stuff can still happen. Note to sell check what range the doubleganger spell has.

Mike Zulu Posted Wednesday at 09:38 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:38 PM Let us try to take control of it. It doesn’t seem like the dark kin are able to deal with it either way (less so now we’re engaging)… Mazer Rackham and Akylas 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/10/#findComment-6142059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so you are aware.

A.T. Posted yesterday at 12:27 PM Share Posted yesterday at 12:27 PM Ialandranth can pop in and out picking off DE from ambush using his warp jump from cover (at least until someone spots him doing it) but he won't be able to dive in on the blaster unless the numbers are thinned.

Akylas Posted yesterday at 01:22 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:22 PM IC would like to keep it "alive" if possible but I understand the value of trying to have the guardian help us. Getting the knowledge from it might be the top priority if it isn't long for this world.

Trokair Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago If I am reading the room right I think we have an even split between controlling the guardian to try and save it vs get the information now. Yes? No? the GM doesn't know what he is doing?
