Mordigael's call

Game Master tko540

The Watch Commander and his Epistolary have called and the loyal sons of the Primarchs have answered the call!


451 to 498 of 498 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | next > last >>

Brother Librarian Cadmus follows the rest of the kill-team members, still trying to expunge the images of the slaughter that occured in the facility from his mind and concentrate on the task at hand.


Ok, so I'm reading it as Raziel is going solo. Solar, N'keln, and Cadmus are checking out the sound. Lanius is hiding in the shadows...or something...

Solar, N'keln, and Cadmus:
As you round the corner into the bay, you stand mere meters away from a pack of industrial servitors. With slow jerking movements the great metal hulks turn and face you. The machines digitized voices continue to state and restate,Defense protocols activated.

Raziel:
As you make the slow ascent up the shaft, you realize you are alone in the shadows. The scaffolding and lattice begin to deteriorate making climbing more difficult.

I'm hoping Calculus and Lanius respond to pm's I've sent them. Those of you in the bay, initiative test please. Raziel, a climb test at a -10/


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Solar will fall back into cover, gesturing for the others to do the same. As he does so he will shout
"Stand down in the name of the Emperor's Angels of the Deathwatch! Magos, if you are there we have come to retrieve you from this doomed planet."

I'm not sure if commanding Servitores will do any good, but here goes

Command 64: 1d100 ⇒ 24 4 degrees of success if I can!


Raven Guard Assault Marine 18/23

I didn't get a PM, some kinda error on my account.

Lanius heads into the shadows and follows Raziel, dropping out of his squad spacing to provide cover from above.

Climbing 42 - 10: 1d100 ⇒ 25

As he was climbing and closing on the next level, Raziel recalled something. "I still have the talisman to ward against the servitors. If they are on the ground level, the rest of the squad might have difficulty with them." He used his Vox to communicate with the rest of the squad. "Have you encountered Servitors?" he asked over their communication devices. Raziel hoped his rash impatience had not put his battle brothers in harm's way.

Solar responds via vox
"Indeed we do brother. They seem in poor repair. I'm not sure if they're hostile yet, but they are not built for battle"


From the massed pile of Tyranid bodies arises another Servitor. This one appears to be armed similar to the first, with drills, servo-claws, grinders, and saw blades. As it approaches, the machine joins the other servitor's mantra,"Defense protocols activated'.

Brother Solar wrote:
"Stand down in the name of the Emperor's Angels of the Deathwatch! Magos, if you are there we have come to retrieve you from this doomed planet."

The living machines are unmoved by the Astartes commands. They continue advancing with their improvised weapons.

Sorry I missed this!

Iniative: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Do they look like they have any weak points?
Perception 62: 1d100 ⇒ 24

Raziel responded over the Vox. "I shall be with you quickly," he said.

Can Raziel use an Acrobatics test to leap down to the entrance quickly?


Yes Raziel, you may; however the test will be at a -20. There is another level below the current one of the team.

The keen analytical skills of the Astartes and the advanced sensor arrays of their power armor has picked up on the internal respirator and neural clusters.


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

Raziel leapt for the entrance, trusting his agility and reflexes to guide him.

Acrobatics 55 - 20: 1d100 ⇒ 82

THUD

Solar will aim at the neural clusters as he speaks both into his external speakers and wide spectrum array vox.

"Magos if you are there, get your toys to stand down before we have to break them! This is not the emperor's work!"

Command 64: 1d100 ⇒ 54


Raven Guard Assault Marine 18/23

Hearing the squad's plight over the vox, Lanius activates his jump-pack and eases himself down carefully, using the pack's extended flight mode briefly, if necessary.

"Servitors, stand down. We shall present our identification key." he said, remembering the talisman Raziel had received. "Stand and prepare to identify."

He hoped that would get him enough time for Raziel; he readies his chainsword in case.

looks coldly at the servitors do we fry them now or hold and wait for our brother with the talisman?


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Not willing to fall into meta-gaming (again) Raziel and Lanius are the only ones who know about the talisman, I thought. Solar's reasons for not initiating battle are as follows

Switching to vox only Solar responds
"I fear the magos may be cowering nearby and could be injured by our fire. Let us try to avoid a conflict that may draw more of the enemy"


"Affirmative, brother. I shall not initiate hostilities", responded Cadmus via the squad vox channel.

Initiative: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

Raziel did explain the talisman and servitors to the squad when they regrouped.

Quote:
""I shall take point,"he said. "Also, we may come face hostile servitors." He explained their encounter with the Adept-minoris and the strange charm that Raziel now carried on his belt. "If those who worked in the area required such things to keep from harm, we are very likely to be considered threats as well.""


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

My bad!


Nice to see Lanius utilize his pack... Raziel, please roll a Pilot Test (-10) or suffer Fall damage of: 1d10 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20 No Armor save. Lanius and N'keln, initiative please.

Solar's booming vox echoes throughout the bay, however the commands of the Deathwatch Marines have no effect upon the broken machines. Now once again within charge range the machines continue their advance. Defense protocols activated! Defense protocols activated!


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

Raziel missed his jump and felt the weight of his armor pulling him down. He quickly attempted to land safely using his jump pack.

Pilot 55 - 10: 1d100 ⇒ 57

I'd like to use a Fate Point to reroll.


Raven Guard Assault Marine 18/23

Initiative: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Solar falls back out of assault range and attempts to flank the servitors, keeping an eye out for any movement beyond that may be the magos.
Perception: 1d100 ⇒ 1

"Brother N'Keln, Brother Lanius. If they continue to press forward, perhaps you can both take them out as quietly and cautiously as possible."


Raziel, I'll just let you use your fate point for a +10 on the roll.

The Blood Angel's pack fires righting him from the free fall in complete darkness. Rising through the black, you land upon the opening to the level of your brothers.

From what you can tell, nothing else remains amongst the living in the bay


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

How many turns away is Raziel?

Silver Crusade

Male Devastator Marine

init: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9


Male

Roughly 1.5.


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

Raziel ran as fast as he could towards where his fellow Astartes were. They would need the talisman to avoid an unnecessary combat.


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Lets continue to stall them. Keep aneye out for anything using the distraction to ambush us


Cadmus you are first, followed by the servitors, and then Solar, Lanius and N'keln


Brother Librarian Cadmus takes a defensive posture, grasping his ornate force staff with both hands, his senses roaming around, alert for any danger, keeping his calm and awaiting for any hostiles to approach.

Assuming Defensive stance.


The servitors continue their lumbering advance. Their whine of their armaments and the steady clod of the metallic limbs resounds of the industrial walls.

They are roughly 13m away


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Solar will back off in the direction of Lanius

Silver Crusade

Male Devastator Marine

braces a defensive stance as well, holding off until the symbol arrives, his finger itching to press the flamers switch


Raven Guard Assault Marine 18/23

Lanius takes a few steps back, spinning the turbines in his jetpack in case they try and rush him. He would beat them to it, were that the case.

Readying an action: If they advance to about five metres away without Raziel showing up, activate wings of the angel and charge the closest one.

Readied rolls:

Wings of Angels vs: 1d100 ⇒ 86 Nope...
Charge vs 57: 1d100 ⇒ 40
damage: 1d10 + 3 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 11 = 19
tearing: 1d10 + 3 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 11 = 15
19 damage, pen 3.


Cadmus, you're up!


Cadmus, following the example of the other kill-team members slowly retreats, to avoid getting entangled in a fight, before clarifying their intentions and exhausting all others means to avoid said confrontation, in hope of locating the missing Magos with less fuss.


Raziel, you are now within charge range.


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

Raziel pulled the talisman free of his belt and held it up for all to see and he charged into range. "Hold, Servitors. We are permitted to be here."


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Was there a button?


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

If it's a "We Win" button, I'd press it.


Male

Yes there was something that looked like it could be a button on the bottom of the charm.


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

Raziel pushes the button.

Silver Crusade

Male Devastator Marine

Kaboooooommm....


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Heavy weapon systems activated


The servitors immediately stop their advance, halting as if statues. Kill-safe protocol accepted, please identify life forms. The harmonic machine voices slowly repeat the commands.

Alright lads, you can try and plug in to interact with the servitors or continue on your merry way. The choice is yours


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

"We are Adeptus Astartes, Deathwatch Chapter. We are here to extract a wounded Magos before he falls prey to Tyranid invasion," Raziel said. "Do you know the location of the Magos?"


Male Blood Angels Space Marine (super-human) Deathwatch Assault Marine, Rank 1

You know, the rest of you all can comment or do things any time now.


White Consuls Tactical Marine 1

Raziel asked an important question, we were all waiting for the response. I know our GM was away on military service, so I didn't want to push him
