A Knocking Afar (IC Thread)

[A.T.]

Ialandranth Veilseeker

 

That the guardian was here raised questions as to the humans involvement, they would have been no match individually but their numbers were vast and their nature would have seen it hunted despite the cost.

 

Ialandranth flickered between realities covering the distance to the dark kin in an instant, Ialathial was correct in his assessment.

 

Run - 60m max distance - if the middle-east greenery offers full concealment he'll hide behind that, otherwise north into the heavier concealment

[Trokair]

 

 

Ialandranth

 

As you materialise in the real again you see you were on target, crouched low in the cover of the tree trunk, the rocky outcrop to your left.

 

From here you can see the Dark Elder grouped around their Raider, which was actually resting on the ground. With it still you could also see extensive damage. The entire hull was blistered and scorched.

 

Your suits blurt an alert at you, radiation warning, nearby.

 

There, in the cover by the rock, a little away from the tree trunk you where behind, one of the Dark Kin. The Kabalite had not spotted you, too preoccupied. The Armour was also scared and coming out in blisters in places.   

 

 

Dark Kin 4

 

With a cry, whether of frustration or rage or some other emotion, it is distorted by distance and battle noise, but it leaves you all with a sense of unease, the Dark Eldar unleashed a volley Splinter rifle fire into the Trees.

Perhaps taking a cue from some of its comrades another of the Dark Eldar starts running.

 

Spoiler

Run (30m) south to lone tree – Run but not sprinted so no hard target but the normal run penalty to hit

Saoirse

 

=Who are you? You are not one to tend to ones such as I, as we. Not Kin of Dandrame. What brings you here?=

 

With the touching of minds you get a glimpse of the guardian’s senses, of a world through the spirit sight of a Wraithbone construct like non you have ever encountered before.  A drain of colour, of solidness, instead you see shaded before you, illuminated as dark suns of the twisted kin, closing in, others spreading out, further away bright suns, five of them.

Map

 

 

Ialathial (Blue), Kelman (Black), Ialandranth (White), Venkarryn (Yellow), Saoirse (Purple).

Guardian (Brown)

 

 

Turn 4 will start soon, momentary Narrative pause, but I thought you might want to see the turn 4 update and Map first.

[Trokair]

I think we are good to go with Turn four, so take it away @Mike Zulu, then I'll do the first two Dark Kin and then we are at the initaive step for the Guardian, so you have untill then to work out in the OCC what you want as a team. 

 

Ialathial Next  

[Mazer Rackham]

Saoirse:

 

OOC: Saoirse will open her mind/memory a fraction to the Guardian, showing him the Farseer, the conclave of her companions and their task.

 

WP: 45

D100: 10

 

She must think in abstracts, for the dead only tasted of memory.

 

=On shoals of dust, and breath of stars, I come from the hearth you call home, I am the flame which warms, and guides in the dark. I am the wild-rider of winds which move the blades of grass, and the leaves of trees. I am a message - a courier.=

 

She spooled her memories.

 

=Entrusted with keys, I am ordained to keep secrets. Tell me, defender, shield of our soul, what is the truth of this place? Share that which has been buried here for aeons lost?=

 

Saoirse brushed the mind of the Bonesinger behind his Death-Mask; an impulse for the haunting melodies of wraithbone flute to carry the song of truth.

[Mike Zulu]

Ialathial Duskstrider:

 

The sudden agility of the foremost dark kin forced Duskstriker to still his trigger finger, and readjust aim to a less animated target.

 

An ineffective volley, but not a wasteful one…

 

Full Auto Burst: Ialathial will fire his ASC at the Dark Kin furthrest North (in the open near the Guardian, should be within normal range ~140m).

 

Spoiler

FAB (ASC): 50 (BaS) + 20 (Aim) + 20 (FAB) = 90 required

Roll d100: 95, 72 (FP) = Pass, 1 DoS = 2 Hits (-1 Fate)

 

Hit 1: 6,3 (Tearing) + 4 + 2 (Mighty Shot) = 12 Dam, 4 Pen, Left Arm

 

Hit 2: 5,7 (Tearing) + 4 + 2 (Mighty Shot) = 13 Dam, 4 Pen, Left Arm

 

 

[Trokair]

Dark Kin Dodge attempt

Spoiler

Ag:52, d100: 83, Fail

Damage 12 – 3TB – 0(Armour 4 – 4Pen) = 9 Wounds, alive on 1

Damage 13 – 3TB – 0(Armour 4 – 4Pen) = 10 Wounds, dead, very dead.

 

Fate guided the monomolecular shuriken at Khaine bidding, the Dark Kin twisting to try and escape vengeance. A severed arm hangs then falls from the torso entirely, and the Kabalite Eldar sinks to their knees with a dull thud, keeling over into the grass never to rise again.

 

 

Dark Kin 1

Stopping and spinning around all of a sudden the Eldar cried out in alarm and unleashed a volley with its splinter rifle at the Fire Dragon to its south east. It must have been a reflective panic that pulled the trigger, for the shards prattled harmlessly into the grass and trees around Venkarryn

 

Spoiler

Full Auto Splinter at Venkarryn

BaS: 41 +20(FAB) +10(Range) – 20 (Run)=51

d100: 59, Miss

 

Dark Kin 7

 

Leaning out from behind a tree that had served as its cover the Kabilite spotted a hated Carftworld kin standing in a bush and let his splinter rifle speak it’s distain.

 

Spoiler

Full Auto Splinter at Ialathial 

BaS: 41 +20(FAB) = 61

d100: 55, Hit, no DoS

If no dodge:

Damage d10+2 Pen 3 Toxic

d10:6 +2 = 8

8 – 3(Tb) – 3(Armour 6 – Pen3) = 2 Damage

Toxic: Toughness test  with -5 per point of damage (10 in this case), failure results in further 1d10 damage (not reduced by Tb or Armour).

 

 

 

Kelman Next, not sure if @Akylas is any less busy now, so will leave it for a little while but will Autopilot if needed.

Ialathial Dodge?

[Mike Zulu]

Ialathial Duskstrider:

 

Duskstrider shifted slightly to evade the neurotoxic fusillade, watching the foliage that had concealed him disintegrate into a black mist.

 

He knew whom the next target was…

 

Spoiler

Dodge: 46(Ag) + 0 = 46 required

Roll d100: 22 = Pass, 2DoS
