The 108th Omicron Rapid Recon, The Hunter's Spear


1 to 50 of 91 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

Right now I am just opening this for casual roleplay until people finish their chars.

You are currently on your jump ship during a moment of downtime.


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Zack looks up from his busted flush I just don't have the luck as he throws the cards in I fold and then winces as the winner rakes in the small pile of coins.

He then gets up, I'm out, anyone else want to sit in?


A rather average looking man with dark hair and brown eyes says "certainly. I'll take your seat."


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Lidah, you want to watch him get raked over? Zack asks a blond. I know I want to see if he has better luck than I do.

With that, he heads over to lean against the wall, and watch the game unfold.


Male Human Enginseer

Cadby, the Enginseer, stops for a minute from communing with the soldiers weapons, and says in a flat monotone.
"Understanding is the True Path to Comprehension."
He also sees the game unfurl.


Male Guardsman

"Yea, Understanding and Sacred Unjent. We're low on both around here." Pelles cleans the mechanisim of his Tauros's grenade launcher
"I'm tired of using spit and harsh language instead"


Male Human Enginseer

Cadby motions Pelles to hand over his weapon.
"Flesh is fallible, but ritual honours the Machine Spirit."


The new man is actually decent at cards. He's the player that will chat amicably with you to throw you off guard so you won't pay attention to the fact that he's won a few hands. then a lot of hands.


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Zack looks at Rassaphore So any ideas on where we are headed next?


The Agriworld of Rasheth


Male Human Enginseer

"The Omnissiah knows all, comprehends all. We are going were the Omnissiah wants us to be, wherever that is. i don't need to know more. But the Omnissiah granted me the name, The Agriworld of Rasheth."


Male Guardsman

Passing the weapon to the enginseer Cpl. Pelles says"I bet you have more understanding than I have Ungent" before turning his attention to his vehicle


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Thanks Rassaphore says Zack. I guess we will go get our car ready for drop

With that, Zack goes to work on his vehicle


Male Human Enginseer

Cadby ("Rassaphore" is more like a title) nods to Zachariah and starts to conduct a litany on Pelles' weapon, communing with the machine spirit in it, allowing to work at peak efficiency in the coming battles.


Well, you do follow a combination of Imperial Creed and Machine Cult, so it might make sense to use his title.


Male Human Enginseer

If you ask him, he follows the Machine Cult, which sees the emperor as the Omnissiah.


Storm Trooper

Thomas returns from the bathroom, looking rugged but well kept. He cares little for rank and offers direct words and advice without solicitation. A big brother who is always teasing and pushing you. While not the friendliest guy, he's probably saved your ass more than once. He's always been very respectful and protective of the Omnissiah's children. He thinks of them as children, because they often don't fit in with most. They need the help of others to navigate their ways while their attention is focused on the toys of men.

Once he had considered becoming a tech-priest, but Thomas is too vain. He would never willing give up his flesh, nor the pleasures of the flesh. As he passes by the card game he tries to catch the eyes of the blonde, but he's not as charming as he thinks.

Where we're going doesn't matter. It's always the same routine. My man Cadby knows what I mean.

With a tone that's playful and not condescending, Thomas slaps Cadby on the back as he goes to double check the Venator they share. Passing by the servitor he pats his arm and says Looking good "RC" a nickname he tries not to let Cadby hear to often. As he goes about his business you can hear him talking to himself. Not having a conversation with himself, but merely thinking out-loud as if no one else existed.

I'm assuming we know each other and have had some rapport. Hopefully Cadby and I get along, have spent some time together and he knows I fully respect his ways, but I tease and joke. But I don't let others, taking offense I'll probably end up in a fight. I count on the priest and his ways, seeing myself as a protector of everyone. Hopefully people know and feel I'd take a bullet for anyone in the squad. EDIT: Rechecked my Demeanour, altered slightly from book, my ideas is still the same, but not so nihilistic that I don't do anything but stand around waiting to die.


Your ship exits back into realspace. A voice carries over the ship's main vox.

Attention 108th, the world you are landing on is Rosheth. It is an Agriworld. It is 73 percent land. There have been signs of the treacherous Eldar spotted. According to Governor Mortimer, there have been several disappearances most likely caused by this xenos filth. We will be entering the atmosphere in three hours. So get your stuff together. That is all.


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Well, Lidah looks like we are going back to work.

With that, he heads to his quarters, grabs his gear, then heads back to strap it into Flame Farter. He then goes back to the armoury, and gets his weapons. Then heads back to his car.


Standing and collecting his winnings, Quintus says "Well, gentlemen, it's been fun, but now we have to be about the Emperor's work."


Male Human Enginseer

"The alien mechanism is a perversion of the True Path. We must make sure to destroy all their abominations!"
He gives back his weapon to Pelles.
"Honor it's spirit, and the spirit will protect you."
He motions to Thomas to climb in their Tauros Venator, whiile he makes some last litanies on it.
Question to the DM: I imagine Cadby can MIU-link with the spirit in the Venator, granting +10 to his Operate of it, right? In that case Thomas would be his gunner. As they have the slower vehicle I guess they will go in the back, coordinating and reinforcing the others (they have good weapon range), and Cadby can go and help any other vehicle in troubles, while Thomas gives cover.


Male Guardsman

Awesome Eldar! I hope they're not Dark Eldar!

Pelles Tightens the tubing he was working on and rolls out from under his vehicle.
"Alright Dozeph get the twenty mike mike back off the Rassaphore. We need to be oscar mike ready asap!"
The corporal climbs into the drivers seat, starts the engine and guns it. It's all he can do to test the vehicle without moving it and he had no idea if they were going to be dropped directly into a hot zone.
Switching the vehicle off, he checked his kit and that of his comrade, removing a pack of lucky charms and launching them across the hanger. When Pvt. Dozeph returns he finds an Irate driver waiting for him.
"DON'T YOU EVER BRING CHARMS INTO MY VEHICLE PRIVATE. YOU GOT ME?!"
"Er, yea. Yes sir"
"Right, so get that weapon fixed and lets hope that your bravo sierra hasn't brought the wraith of the Omnissiah down on us"
"Will do"


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Zack finishes lashing his gear behind his seat, and then clips his weapon into the weapon rack in the centre of the vehicls.
Then waits by his car for final instructions.


Donning his official regalia, Quintus steps out into the drop bay, cutting a dashing figure. "Men! Let the light of The Emperor fill you! For today, we get the distinct pleasure and honor of wiping the filth of the xeno from his universe! Tis a glorious endeavor!"


Male Guardsman

"HURRA!" Pelles respondsloudly to the Commisar's words before leaning back to look at
"Hey Dozeph, hold on tight. The Eldar may be 'frightenend and weak willed' but I'm not sure how to drive this thing!"
"Shut up, you know how to drive Pelles"
"Awh, why won't you play!"


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Making the sign of the aquilla, Zack responds For the Emperor and the Omnissiah


Male Human Enginseer

Cadby recites the first tenet of the faith, which always remembers at the beginning of all their missions:
"Life is directed motion."


At this point I will say that you land. As your ship opens, you find a large town. It looks like what you would image the down town of a farming community out in the stix to look like today, except for the modern bunkers placed at strategic points around the perimeter. It is also completely abandoned. Some of the brass looks confused and worried as if they expected to meet someone here.


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Well, this seems odd.
Zack slowly drives his car clear of the dropship, and forms up with the others.
Wonder who was supposed to be here. Lidah, any ideas?

Nope, but will keep an eye out


Storm Trooper

As they offload it doesn't take long for Thomas to realize something is wrong. "We should fan out and scan the area. Look for signs of movement or a struggle. Cadby wake me up when there's something to shoot."


Male Human Enginseer

"Sentience is the ability to learn the value of knowledge. We must now what has happened here."


Over the vox "Time to become the eyes and ears of the emperor. Find his faithful, that we may sheppard them."


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Checking 1st bunker comes back over the vox.

With that, Zack speeds over towards the closest of the bunkers.

lidah, cover me As he dismounts with his grenade launcher and carefully walks towards the door.

Frag loaded in launcher


The door opens easily. The first thing you notice is the stench of rotten bunt food. A number of files swarm past you. There is a pot sitting on a camp stove. The rotten contents boiled over.


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Ug Zack coughs. looks like they left in a hurry some time ago, got rotten food in this bunker. It's still in the pot. he reports over the vox.

Steps further into the bunker, and does a more detailed check.

perception: 1d100 ⇒ 68
And doesn't see to much.

Per score is 33


Male Guardsman

Shifting his Taurros into gear Pelles flanks Goodwin providing fire support.

Krak loaded in the grenade launcher

Drawing up beside the weapon specialist's vehicle Cpl. Pelles draws his laspistol and moves to support the trooper.
"Stay here on the victor and keep us covered Dozeph"
He calls as he tails Goodwin into the bunker.

Perception 33: 1d100 ⇒ 8 Success!

Is the stove still warm?


It seems that the troopers were cooking some sort of stew when they left. The stew boiled over and junked up the stove.


Male Guardsman

So the stove is cold?


Cpl. Pelles wrote:
So the stove is cold?

Correct


Male Guardsman

Pelles checks to make sure there isn't power still running to the stove and powers it down if there is.
Int 35 Tech Use +10 Omni-tool +10=55: 1d100 ⇒ 92
"I have to agree with Goodwin, no-one's been here for a while, he responds over the squad coms"
Switching to his auspex, Pelles scans the area from outside.
Per 33 Auspex +20=53: 1d100 ⇒ 9


There are oddly shaped foot prints and traces of an unknown toxin.

There is a call over the vox, he seems freaked. S-S-Sir, you might want to see this


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Seeing Pelles pull out the auspex, Zack moves just outside the entrance, and looks around keeping an eye out for trouble.


Male Guardsman

Do I recognize the voice?


Male Human Enginseer

"The alien mechanism is a perversion of the True Path. This is Xenos doing, let's see what they found."


Cpl. Pelles wrote:
Do I recognize the voice?

It is Hoss. A grunt from another squad. Your squads have spent a fair amount of time in training together.


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Commisar, should we go over, or secure this front Zack voxes as he gets back into Flame Farter.


Storm Trooper

As the squad begins to search the area Thomas jokingly asks "Great, so no one bothered to call before we arrived? I guess that means housekeeping isn't going to be fluffing any pillows for us."And then begins mumbling to himself about the differences in sleeping on a ship and on a planet.

As the other squad turns up some details and reports emerge of a survivor, Thomas trusts and leaves it up to Cadby where they go. Not being the driver he keeps his opinions about direction to himself and pays attention to the horizon, focusing on any slight movements he can observe.

Awareness Per 31 vs 1d100 ⇒ 2 2DOS


Male Guardsman

Can you describe the footprints to me please

"Commissar, I think I've found something else over here too. Look like some sort of xenos footprints"
Pelles starts to slowly follow the footprints, keeping to cover and staying where his comrade can cover him


Male Human Weapon Specialist

Lidah, continue to cover us

Zack grabs the rest of his ammo, and follows a short distance behind Pelles. (5m)

He will continue to provide cover, and keep an eye out for trouble.


Clambering out of the top hatch of the Venerator, Quintus will survey the scene, doff his hat, then say over the vox "On my way." before climbing down to go see what all the hubbub is about.
