Now I wish I had stayed ... Missing the Boss fight against a melee ... thing! Good luck guys!
Any unwanted meetings on the way to the way back yet?
Is the vox contact already cut off when the fighting starts - and if so: is it fluid (the connections getting worse and worse until it finally runs into static-only) or is it more abrupt?

Hey Deleos, sorry I didn't have time to get your post in before, but I'm updating now and I'll get you first.
The comms are fluid, getting worse, no one is talking much to you directly, but of course you hear what they are saying up until now...though they did have some actions while you were still running, so maybe you don't know there is a fight...I'll update now in IC.

No problem here - I thought so but its always sad to miss a fight ;-)
"This one is for the team!" ^^

@Everyone:
Remember that when engaged in melee that you can only use pistol class ranged weapons, no range bonus. If you want to disengage and back up for a shot with larger weapon, that's an action and not without risk.
Enemy has Combat master, so no gang up bonus on him.
Lastly, while technically you all could possible be on fire before your actions (except Vartas), remember you're in sealed armor, so no WP test to act next turn, BUT, if you want to put out the flames, its a -20 AG test, if you want to put out the flames instead of attacking for your turn (assuming you're on fire), I'll allow it, I'll simple deduct your dmg and/or ignore your actions after it's attack. I know it might be a little confusing, the timing of the posts and actions on PBP, but I'm trying to sort it out as best and fairly as I can.
@ULRICH: Were you lightly or Crit wounded? Saw you status, didn't seem you got healed that much...

Whoops my mistake on the killing strike, didn't check the book, just used the bit I had written in my profile.
I am assuming these flames act as normal ones (Salamander mantle, means I can't catch fire also passive solo mode ability) was there any damage I needed to dodge?
Will wait for the others to post before posting next turn 's actions.

Note that fire damage ignores armor points, so you just have your TB for reduction.
Also as the thing attacked you in melee you are now considered in melee so, no multi-melta until you disengaged ...

I forgot to roll damage for flame attack, it's not very powerful. @Deleos, I'm going to say no on this particular flame weapon, because it is special and not really fire, even though it is a "flame" weapon. But I will meet you half way and not count the special quality against you, which I've yet to post, wanted it to b a little surprise.
BayouSnowman |
Because of the hovering nature of the enemy, I'll allow disengage for everyone as a half action, no test required, but no point blank bonus. If disengage is already a half action with no test, then you will get a point blank bonus, just don't have that rule memorized and I'm about to head to bed. Will update tomorrow, hopefully more people have posted by then.
The above message @Deleos is actually for Pyros. Deleos, I'll update your side first thing tomorrow, sorry for leaving you hanging so long.

@Varryl, I wasn't thinking clearly, long day and I was wiped. You can update with your round 2 post or seperately. Your initiative is lower, so you decide if you want to still use your reaction for logis or dodge. Your aim still carries over if you dodge or take the damage. Just wanted to clarify Don't forget you'll be shooting into melee - 20, without a talent.
Pyros V'estian |
Sorry, should of just copied the book version, rather than my notes version, for Killswitch. As the fact it was a full action and the being over rank 5 let's it become a half action, I thought that would mean it was the attack was dropping from a full action to a half action. Otherwise does this mean it is a full action to activate the power and then another full action to attack? Otherwise I would probably have gone full defensive (well with a guarded attack to keep the necron interested) as I agree that I wouldn't be able to do it whilst frenzied.
BayouSnowman |
Varryl, what did you do? Maybe it's just late, but i can't really understand what you did...you rolled WP? Why? Then BS? Flame attack doesn't require test. You rolled 7d10? For what? Then haywire from what? You are frenzied and must melee, I'll allow the spent reaction for torch, but you fired into melee combat which means Vartas and Pyros are gonna be hit too, it's not exactly a precise weapon. You can't fire your weapon though, must melee. Please try to clarify what you did and with what...
It's gonna die this round, just a matter of how and by which attack. You can let me resolve it as i wish, or I'll let you clarify your post IC or OOC.

Warp Madness: A violent ripple of tainted discord causes all creatures within 2d10 metres of the psyker (with the
exception of the psyker himself ) to become Frenzied for 1 Round. Affected creatures gain 1d5 Corruption Points
unless they can pass a Difficult (–10) Willpower Test.
I read this as a difficult WP or enter frenzy. I may have misinterpreted. Also wasn't sure if Machine trait would apply here as it's a psychic phenomenon causing mind altering effects.
If I'm frenzied instead just resolve a charge grapplr v effective ws of 44 and drop the rest.
As for the BS test on the plasma torch, I used the wrong term it's actually a plasma cutter and can be used as a plasma pistol in combat.
plasma cutter
-plasma pistol 10m s/2/- 1d10+10e pen8 clip12 3full volatile
In the past I've used the cyclone torch as a flamer.
The 7d10 is 7 individual d10s resulting from 3 burst hits from the tecxorcism w 2 Rfs and 1 hit from the plasma cutter w 1 RF. It was simpler to use the clump rather than individual lines when I had to keep coming back.

Ok, yea, thanks for bringing up the warp madness corruption roll everyone should make.
Cutter not torch makes sense.
Can you please point me to the book with your gun.
Ok, on dice, i get it but didn't see va weapon mentioned so i was puzzled at the math.
Frenzy is unavoidable, so I'll just let you grapple.
Anyways, late here, got work early in the morning, so I'll update at lunch.

Thanks for the wishes. There was no connection between the party and the emergency ... But really hit the mood. Bit nothing too bad happened after all ...puh^^.
Will post in a few moments.
