Mike Zulu Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Indeed, welcome @Aknoby I am tempted to take out the dark kin with my Diresword, just to see what “soul-destroying” effect it has. Otherwise @Black Cohort can immolate him… Mazer Rackham, Trokair and Akylas 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/13/#findComment-6150164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazer Rackham Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I think it's to stop the DE scum discovering the webway portal and either use it to travel to the mountain, or get outta dodge before a big Necron caterpillar tries to gobble us up.

From my perspective your goal was to find out what is happening here and why the webway gate guardians have fallen silent. You have a fair idea as to both, so reporting back to the Farseer seems to me to be your next step. However if you think that there are other objectives worth perusing then by all means play for what you think is important and we will see how it goes.

Akylas Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Wondering if we should sneak back to the webway gate or maybe try to get the humans and Dark Eldar fighting as a distraction.

Mazer Rackham Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 What do folks think of a spoiler attack on the Spiky-mob, followed by a Zoidberg dash to the gate?

A.T. Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 It seems that there is still something of a mystery to uncover before making for the gate. Drawing the two forces into conflict away from the site would seem prudent.

Mike Zulu Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 There are certainly questions left unanswered, but as we are now amidst a greater conflict I don’t see what more we can do than continue to sneak about and hope to stumble onto the Sleeper’s tomb. The only other idea I had was to capture a human officer for interrogation (I would think they would be more pliable).

A.T. Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I may be mistaken but didn't we pick up more psychic imprints than just the one guardian? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/13/#findComment-6153849 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazer Rackham Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I'd have to read back - one thing about grabbing a human occurred to me. Wasn't there something funky with them picking up ripe bodies? Sounds a bit...armpit tentacle? Are these the same guys as before?

Trokair Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Everybody happy with taking on the DE command? If so I will move us forward on that this Friday/Weekend. 3 hours ago, Mazer Rackham said: I'd have to read back - one thing about grabbing a human occurred to me. Wasn't there something funky with them picking up ripe bodies? Sounds a bit...armpit tentacle? Are these the same guys as before? Do you mean are the guys you saw several days ago sorting out the bodies the same as the human cavalry and vehicles massing to that south? They are too far away for you to tell. Though some of the tracked vehicles may indeed be similar. 20 hours ago, A.T. said: I may be mistaken but didn't we pick up more psychic imprints than just the one guardian? There are two guardians, but the other is much further away at this point. The psychic contact that Saoirse made was with the one guardian, once in a roundabout way while navigating the skeins of fate (this was more of a light brush against the guardians mind/wraithsight, it was not aware of the contact that time) and once directly during the ambush. 21 hours ago, Mike Zulu said: There are certainly questions left unanswered, but as we are now amidst a greater conflict I don’t see what more we can do than continue to sneak about and hope to stumble onto the Sleeper’s tomb. The only other idea I had was to capture a human officer for interrogation (I would think they would be more pliable). If the party wants to try and capture a human for interrogation then we can work to that, it may however be an either/or choice instead of going after the Dark Elder commander.

Akylas Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Would it be possible to take one of those Dark Eldar vehicles into the webway portal to get back? I remember it was submerged so maybe that's not feasible.

Mazer Rackham Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Good idea. The Webway trip was quite a trek, so transport would be handy. I know Eldar vehicles are sealed environment, but I'm sure we could find snorkels!

The portal being submerged and at an awkward angle might lead to complication, but in theory it is a option.

Mazer Rackham Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 GM, could we substitute Psyniscience for Awareness Tests? Trokair 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/385923-a-knocking-afar/page/13/#findComment-6154603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trokair Posted February 1 Author Share Posted February 1 (edited) Sure, that seems like a reasonable adjacent skill. The team may substitute one difficult (-10) Psyniscience test for one Awareness test. Note you will need to specify as part of the test what sort of wrap/immaterium/psychic phenomenon you are trying to detect.

A.T. Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Ialandranth is reasonably solid at both skills, stealth in particular if we are looking to spread them out to the most capable in each area. Does heightened senses apply to the awareness test?
