A Knocking Afar (IC Thread)

[A.T.]

Ialandranth Veilseeker

 

The distraction of the Dracon almost proved deadly as the dark kin seemed to double in speed in response to the wave of hate, the sharp sting of the blow as the armour turned the worst aside did at least shake any indecision and doubt from the mind and turn Ialandranths focus back to the fight.

 

He struck again seeking to use the blood thirst of his enemy against him before slipping away one more through the warp, to be exposed against so many was to die.

 

Fear test: 12 - pass

Dodge test: 87 - fail, 3 wounds taken

Half action attack roll: 25 - pass

Damage: 7+10+3 = 20 damage, Pen 6 (power weapon)

 

Half action move to warp away into the cover of trees, 10m but can push further if needed - attack of opportunity if the kalabite lives

Kabalite (in melee with Ialandranth)

Spoiler

Dodge, Ag:52 d100: 45, Dodged! One lucky Kabalite. 

Attack of opportunity

WS: 41, d100: 74 Miss

 

Sidestepping a thrust to the torso the Kabalite stabed the splinter rifle at the spider once more, sure of drawing blood again, but where the Spider had been was just empty air.

 

 

There are no Trees within 10m of you, but there is a larger bush directly eastwards that is about 12m to 15m (edge vs thickest part).

If you are trying for the Tree north, south south east, or west then they are respectively about 25m, 30, and 35m away. So you can make it to the north or south south east Trees with a very good wrap jump generato push roll.

Kelman Orach

 

Kelman repeats a mantra to Khaine he learned at his Aspect Shrine to endure the Dracon's shriek.

Once the shriek passes Kelman aims at the Kabalite due south (60ish m) by the tree, then moves himself into the bushes to the east. He smiles with grim satisfaction as he sees his missile reach their mark.

Kabalite (on receiving end of Reaper Missiles)

Spoiler

Dodge, Ag:52 d100: 64, Fail, Splatted.

 

The Reapers claimed one more with the same dark efficiency as is expects of one carrying the Aspect of the Destroyer.

 

Orange Kabalites

Spoiler

Most Orange Kabalites actions have no direct effect on the players, so as with the Red only documenting relevant ones.

Crew, 1 Kabalite boarded to man Cannon just before takeoff.

 

Over the din of the skirmish and those Dark Eldar actively gunning for you it is hard to pay attention to more distant threats, but even with distractions to hand you cannot fail to notice a increase in calls and sounds of movements, the camp was swarming. Shrikes of pain or fear or despair from the Human slaves further clutter the soundscape.

 

Despite all this the hum and vine of an antigrav engine is unmistakable, one of the crafts has taken off.

 

 

 

Venkarryn

Spoiler

Fear Test

Kabalite already doged this turn, now warm and toasty

 

Out of the corner of his eye the Dragon saw the Spider flicker and shimmer in the way of that Aspect, however the Dark Kin sparring partner still stood. What the Spider could not the Dragon would, one breath of the Fusion gun and the Eldar was no more.

With minimal movement the Ranger moved his aim to one side, another Kabalite already in view. Unlike the last one however this one he only clipped in the arm, a last fraction of a second movement spoiled the headshot.

Edited April 1 by Trokair

[Mike Zulu]

Ialathial Duskstrider
 

As the Avenger set up position in the brush, his rangefinder flagged dozens of approaching kabalites. They were keeping their distance, too far for a suppressive volley.  No doubt they were also preparing to fire upon their position.

 

Duskstrider spotted two dark kin in the foliage lining up targets with their rifles, seemingly without fear of reprisal. That will need to change…

Crouch: Ialathial will crouch in the brush (Free Action, unless I’m mistaken).
Full-Auto Burst: Ialathial will fire at the closest Aiming Red Kabalite, SW at ~40m.

Kabalite

Spoiler

Dodge, Ag:52

d100: 92 – 13 Damage at Pen 6 is just enough to get trough 4 Armour, 3TB and 10 wounds- so Dead.

I am going to say that the second Aiming Kabalite is just within 2m and that the second hit was allocated to him as per FAB rules (p190 core).

Second Kabalite Dodge

d100: 01 – Pass, no two for one this time.

 

So focussed on her target had the Kabalite been that she stared straight at the deadly shuriken as they crossed the open ground from her quarry to her. Only the felling of leaves and vegetation as the shuriken ate their way through the undergrowth snapped her out of it, far too late to save herself, or take her murderer with her into the beyond to face She Who Thirsts as well.  

 

Dracon's Bodygard and Red Kabalites next (after dinner)

[Trokair]

Dracon’ Bodyguard

Spoiler

Two nearest players, Half move into cover of Tree, Half Action Aim

Two Special Weapon Bodyguard, Run into cover next to previous two. Hard Target

Four remaining run to catch up with Dracon

 

While the lesser Kabalites run around in an uncoordinated response to the invaders four of the Trueborn prepared a forward position for the Dracon while the other four stuck close to their charge.

Red Kabalites

Spoiler

Starting most north, continue to Run – Hard Target

Next one also runs – Hard Target

Kabalite with Blaster by curved wall also Runs – Hard Target

Kabalite by Tree (north of long rectnagluar ruin) also Run to next Tree – Hard Target

 

With the Dracon and his Trueborn nearby a level of discipline and, perhaps desperation, led the Kabalites to surge forward.

 

Kabalite (that was Aiming)

Spoiler

Ilathial Dodge?

 

In taking out the other Eldar the Craftworld scum had stood still enough for a clear shot to the head.

Steadying themselves against the ruin wall and peering over it was easy to spot the foe, all out in the open despite a camo cloak of some sort, but that would be no defence to the crystalline shards gifted by the trigger pull.

The Dragon and his bright armament was hard to miss and two Dark Eldar tried to avenge their fallen Kin, but neither could land even a scratch on the Dragons armour.

 

Kabalite (Wounded)

Spoiler

Run-Sprint for ocver SW towards camp)

 

With the attention of enemy off him for a moment he sprinted back towards the camp and the medical attention, the world blackening at the edged.

 

 

Other Red Kabalites take action but have no relevance to team this turn.

 

 

Map Update

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

Kelman and Saoirse Next, then Ialandranth after that. 

 

Edited April 11 by Trokair

[Akylas]

Seeing that the Fire Dragon might be eager to take out that venom, Kelman eyes the enemies to the west. Taking out that lookout in the tree would be easy, but the bodyguards at the bast are more dangerous. His war mask pushing him to fire at the greater foe, he aims for the bodyguards.

 

Would like to crouch in bushes if that is a free action.

Half Action aim and then shoot.

Spoiler

[A.T.]

Ialandranth Veilseeker

 

Leaping from cover to cover Ialandranth made note of the approaching forces, and what appeared to be heavier weapons out of range as yet but close... and so he must be closer and the dark kin that had sought shelter in the trees drew his eye.

 

Charge the target directly south in the trees

Bodygards

Spoiler

I am going to assign three hits to each, as Akylas mentioned aiming at both, and they are close enough for the FAB Hits to do so. So first three hits:

Bodyguard (northmost of the two) Dodge

Ag: 57 +10(Dodge +10) = 67

D100: 81, Fail – Even with partial Tree cover the Pen 7 and a total of 32 damage across the three hits is enough to kill.

Last three hits

Bodyguard Dodge

Ag: 57 +10(Dodge +10) = 67

D100: 27, Pass 4 DoS, enough to dodge three allocated hits.

 

The Aspect of the Destroyer once more spoke true to its namesake, obliterating one Trueborn. Khaine however would have to be satisfied with only one as the other Dark Eldar darted out of the way of his missile delivered wrath.

Oranage Kabalite in Tree

From atop the Tree the Kabalite could more easily spot the intruders, calling out their location to the others.

D100: 80, Miss

 

The Venom slowed a little as it approached after its initial rapid deployment, but not quite enough to steady the hand of either the pilot or gunner as both failed to even scratch the vicinity of their targets.

 

 

Venkarryn

Spoiler

Full Move towards Venom 1 and single shot with Fusion Gun (Hip Shooting) into Side of Venom.

As the Venom sped past it present its Flank to the Fire Dragon, one can imagine the smile on the Eldar’s face at such an opportune target; alas he was thwarted by a quick twist of the agile skimmer.

Interlude

 

The faintest of whistles, easily lost on a wind still day in an open field, all but drowned here and now. Did you even hear it, or just imagined it?  

Within moments however there was no doubt, the whilst loud and sharp, now drowning out the battle din.

The crescendo a show of rolling thunder, fire and smoke bursting from the ground like fresh shoots after the rain, growing into spires.

 

As the shower of debris and earth settle and the smog dissipates the battle field, already warn from many skirmished that had visited the lakeside in recent times, was now crater pocked. Another level of devastation closer to hell.

OOC: Good luck guys!

 

Searing agony, enough to divorce her entirely from the searing flesh and parting of bone. Intoxicated by the lethargy of poisons anathema, she reeled, fighting hard to remain upright. Every drop of blood sang a precious dirgeful note. Life was leaking, darkness threatening.

 

She could only do one thing to preserve any sense or part of self without falling into the welcoming depths of her Waystone.

 

Concentrating, she drew upon the threads of live, pulling the weave into her own body, and aging, impossibly the expanse of her mortal flesh. Eternity fled, replaced with coldness, the terminal fabrication of crystalline which the Eldar were cursed to become in the domes of the Crystal Seers. The mantra was potent and the power was a deluge.

 

Her arm stopped bleeding, then forfeited being.

 

Once that was stemmed, she faced the pain, and let it take her down into the darkness, where all the ghost of who she'd been and what she'd done awaited.

You do have 2 Fate points total, used one for a reroll, so can use one for a d10 heal after say hit 3 if you want. Might reduce the crit to something survivable.

 

 

Edit: forgot the Toxic, would need to pass all 4/get very low damage rolls in addition to a good heal to survive; I guess Fate point burn it is.

Ialathial Duskstrider:

 

The monofilament wad unspooled metres before him, throwing Duskstrider backward before he could regain his footing.

 

Before him, he sensed the dark kin in the tree lining up their weapon sights. Behind him… 

 

The warlock… Saim-Saoirse…

Dodge Test: 50(Ag) + 0 = 50 required

Roll d100: 27 = Pass, 2DoS

Red Kabalite in melee with Phantom

 

The call of warning might have been too late to but the ambushing enemies back was now turned. Taking the presented opportunity the Kabalite stabbed the bayonet blade of the Splinter Rifle right into the torso. It gave way surprisingly easily, and the kabalite stumbeled forward. The enemy had turned translucent and was fading even as it twisted its head towards him. A look of anguish and pain on its face that gave the Kabalite a pause, a hesitation that on top of being unbalanced proved lethal, the evaporating phantom driving all its life into the blade for one last swing, severing the arm to mirror what its caster had just lost.

 

Red Kabalte with Blaster

Spoiler

Half Action Aim, Half Action single shot at Ialathial

BaS:41 +10(Short Range) + 10 (Aim) - 40 (Run + Hard Target) = 21

d100: 33, Miss

 

Following the lead of the Trueborn the Kabalite also took Aim and fired the Blaster, if she could take down what they had not then that might well be rewarded.     

 

 

Kabalite in Bush

Spoiler

Full Auto Splinter Rifle at Ialathial

BaS: 41 +20(FAB) -40 (Run/Hard Target) = 21

d100: 70

 

The Craftworld scum would not escape again, letting rip on full automatic fire the Kabalite however failed to even one hit.

 

Kabalite south side of three

Spoiler

Half Move 5m, single shot at Sial

BaS: 41 – 40 (run/hard target) = 1

D100: 17, Not bad but still a miss

 

Kabalite (by rectangular ruin)

Spoiler

Full Auto Splinter Rifle at Ialandranth 

BaS: 41 +20(FAB) = 61

d100: 71, Miss

 

Seeing the demise of a comrade to his right the Kabalite turned and unleashed his rifle at the spider.

 

Raider 1

Spoiler

Pilot, Full Move Tactical Speed x2 (80m)

Crew: Galf Action Aim, Half Action shoot Dark Lance at Kelman

BaS:41 +10(Short Range) +10 (Aim) - 20 (moved 2x Tactical)= 41

d100: 40, Hit 

Kelman dodge?

Location 04: Head

Damage 2d10 +16 at Pen 16 with Felling (1) which I don’t think matters, and Proven (4)

d10: 3 (becomes 4) , 7 + 16 = 27 Damage at Pen 16

 

As the Raider made the turn the gunner spied the Reaper, word had made its way over the Kabalite coms channel that such a dangerous foe was in the field. ‘Not for long’ he thought as the Dark Light speared forward.

 

 

Map Update

Kelman (+ dodge) and Ialandrath Next.

Forgot map update, edit the second, redid raider calculation to fix error

[A.T.]

Ialandranth Veilseeker

 

The rain of fire indicated that the humans approached, but it seemed that the bloodlust of the dark kin was so great as to remain and fight here rather than scatter or respond to the bombardment. But the same bloodlust drew them close and left them vulnerable where a more rational mind would stand off out of reach.

 

But they must attack with equal abandon lest numbers overwhelm them, scattered the dark kin fought for themselves but should their masters gain control they would surely encircle the group and close off any chance of escape.

 

Ialandranth lept forward seeking both the greatest threat - the dark lance - and to rejoin with his allies.

 

Half move and push warp pack to get as close as possible to the raider

Move: 10+8+5, not sure if on or near

 

Semi-auto into driver:

Roll: 87, Fate point reroll 15 vs skill 43 + 10 or 30 for range? No bonus for semi-auto as using hit and run

2 or 3 hits depending on range

5+4+10 = 19

5+9+10 = 24

2+5+10 =17 (perhaps)

 

10m hit and run into the cover with Venkarryn

[Trokair]

Ialandrath

Spoiler

Near (about 7 m away), so shooting pilot would be a called shot, which would be harder to hit. So instead will assume you shoot the Raider which gives you the +20 for Enormous, and neting you the third hit.  

Driver Dodge

AG:52 -20 (Enormous ) +25 (Manoeuvrability)=57

D100: 51, Dog first hit

Second hit: 24 Damage at Pen 0 – into side armour 15 results in 9 SI damage. Now at [9/20SI]

Third hit: 17 Damage at Pen 0  – side armour 15 makes 2 SI damage. Now at [11/20]

 

Banking the Raider away from the temporary Spider prevented some damage, but the left side was still pretty heavily chewed up by the monatomic filament before it snapped and broke.  

 

 

Kelman Next.
