I'm sorry, that roll was high enough that they decide to not only NOT give you the Krak missile, but to also repossess one none vital bodypart of your choice.

Don't bring the Scripes up onto such an idea Seargent! They may like that idea ...

Personally, I'd be more worried if Zora got wind of it, she'd offer up your left nut in a heartbeat.

Silver Crusade

Does no one else have anything they want to do with their downtime? If not we'll jump to the next mission assignment.

How about my questions about the monsters in the jungle, while talking to the natives?
Beside that, not right now actually. Sam is happy with some sack time, and as long as he cannot get to the bar to steam out, there is not much he will do.

Also OOC I'm damn busy RL-wise atm ... learning hard for coming exams.

Silver Crusade

Pvt. Black, were you looking for something specific? All "Standard Kit" gear is available to you with no need for a roll, but if you want specific items like Krak/phosphor grenades, melta bombs, etc you'll need to roll for it.

Ehh, we got some XP for our dynamic entry + clearing of the vehicle park, didn't we?
Can't find the post saying it, but I am pretty sure there was one. But it could be me after all ...^^

Silver Crusade

The book provides for a certain amount of XP to be concluded at the end of the adventure, but I think having a few days in base is an appropriate time for learning new skills and talents.

200XP to each of you!


Male Brawler WS 47, BS 34, S 41, T 52, Ag 32, Int 30, Per 26, WP 38, Fel 39, Wounds 16/16, FP 2/4

Plus as this is a one shot thing, saving all the xp to the end would be a bit redundant anyway no?


Male Human Retired Fleet Admiral

Sorry for the delay guys... for some reason it didnt update at all :/

Ähhh, Sargee? Did you roll for our mission gear at all?^^ Do we have it or not? I know we WENT over the get it, but I cannot find anything about actually fetching the things?? ;-)


Male Brawler WS 47, BS 34, S 41, T 52, Ag 32, Int 30, Per 26, WP 38, Fel 39, Wounds 16/16, FP 2/4

No I did not, being that I wasn't asked to, I assumed it was all in order for once.
Might be fun to see what is in the packs once we open them eh?

Silver Crusade

Everyone not Cormaeg/Sam:

Come on guys, work with me here. Black, are you wheeling the Chimera around, plowing on through, stopping? Adahlia/Locke are you grabbing a gunport lasgun? Right side or left? Maybe opening the top hatch to take aim with a hotshot? Help me to help you.


Male Human Retired Fleet Admiral

got some bad news this week. But im back. Will post later today.

Male Human Retired Fleet Admiral

I had a bit of a relapse with my depression... will try to get things back on track asap

Silver Crusade

You're okay Axel, just post when you can.

Silver Crusade

Everyone have a good holiday weekend? Waiting on Black & Adahlia and then this round will be wrapped up.

Silver Crusade

Should we pop back to Recruitment to find a replacement for Locke, or would you rather continue on as is? I'm not sure what Axel Black's posting is going to be like in the future either.

We can just hand-wave in the new character. "Stormtrooper Locke? Who? L-T, are you feeling okay? Private So-and-So's been with us the whole time!"


Male Brawler WS 47, BS 34, S 41, T 52, Ag 32, Int 30, Per 26, WP 38, Fel 39, Wounds 16/16, FP 2/4

It's pretty early in the adventure right? So getting in a replacement now might be a good idea.

"Is that a fact? so...who did I just execute then?"

Silver Crusade

We're less than halfway through, yes. I'll post in the Recruitment thread straightaway


Male Brawler WS 47, BS 34, S 41, T 52, Ag 32, Int 30, Per 26, WP 38, Fel 39, Wounds 16/16, FP 2/4

So...I shouldn't have executed Locke then? Damnit! You have to tell me these things in time.
Jankins! I blame you.

Hello everyone! I Hope we have a great game

No time for that soldier! Load up and let's do some shooting!


Male Human Storm Trooper

Yes Sir!
What? Now? From the Chimera?

Silver Crusade

Where else? :p


Male Human Storm Trooper

I will take the Trained Ballistic Skill (going from 44 to 54) for 200 XP

Silver Crusade

That would only bump you to 49, not 54. Each "tier" is +5


Male Human Storm Trooper

Just checking if you were paying attention :P
Got it, sorry for the "convenient arithmetic error"

Silver Crusade

Everything alright Corsario?


Male Human Storm Trooper

Yes, I thought Tom was last firing. Do he fires now?

Silver Crusade

Go for it, we'll tack you on to the previous round. No idea what happened to Black, so we'll skip him for now.

Nice first roll Thomas 2.0 ;-) my very first warhammer 40k roll was a plain 100 ... Playing a psyker ...

Does this means a new round is up?


Male Human Storm Trooper

Thanks


Male Human Retired Fleet Admiral

Sorry guys. Power was out for 3 days. Hard time charging my phone even

How to search the flyer?
Priorities: Weapons, ammunition (explosives?), medical supplies and any viable tools (auspex, vox, multi tool?)

Silver Crusade

Hmm...give me an Awareness Test at +0, will take 1d10 times 5 minutes. Note also that the soldier by the Valkyrie is removing stuff that they gathered up, and he tells you as much.


Male Human Storm Trooper

Need help, as I see I don't have "skill values" (and the previous Tom Locke didn't had them either).
How do I set them up?
I will investigate, but maybe you can help me do it faster.

Silver Crusade

Do you have access to the Core Rulebook?

The regiment stats are as follows:

204th Teutonian Crusaders
Homeworld: Fortress world
Regiment Type: Siege Regiment
Commander: Sanguine
Doctrines: Anti-Armor, Well-Provisioned
Favored Weapons: RPG Launcher, Lascannon w/gun carriage
Drawback: Regimental Rivalry
The 204th are a proven force of vehicle killers, skilled at digging in and obliterating enemy armor or bunkers with a few well-placed lascannon shots. Infantry fight in support of the weapon crews, using RPGs and heavy stubbers to fend off enemy infantry while the lascannons do their work. The fortress world of Teutonia has defended the Leil Sector against the depredations of Chaos warbands from the Asamene Cluster, and the Crusaders take a fierce joy in killing heretics. The regiment even boasts several platoons of ogryn auxiliaries, usually trained as Bullgryn shock troops.

If you need some assistance let me know!


Male Human Storm Trooper

I think I have all, except the skills "percentages".
How do I get them?

Each skill has a characteristic it uses as the base.
Then you add the respective skill level (unknown -20, known +0, trained +10, experienced +20,...)
If you have a skill noted down without anything else, its typically known.
You can use every skill, but if you don't have the skill at at least known, then you suffer the -20 for unknown skill.
After adding the boni / subtracting the Mali you roll a d100 using this forums dice-roller (see: How to format your text below the post-area). If your roll is below the final value you succeed, otherwise you fail. Meeting the exact value still is a success.

Think that should cover it.


Male Human Storm Trooper

Should he have some "bonus" in any skill? Or there is only "unknown" (-20) and known (+0) now?

Silver Crusade

Looking at the statline, all of those skills about be Known. You can tell because the section what marks what the XP has been spent on doesn't include any Trained (+10) skills.

So for your Stealth Checks, since Locke knows that skill he gets just his Agility, which for you is 43.

Stealth vs 43: 1d100 ⇒ 100 Yikes! This would be a terrible fail! 6 Degrees of Failure!

But you get the idea. Feel free to ask for circumstance bonuses as well, like "I work my way around to the other side, so the sun is in the eyes of anyone looking my way. Is that worth a bonus"? I won't always say yes but I try to reward that sort of cleverness.


Male Human Storm Trooper

Got it, thanks

Silver Crusade

Link to a map of the Refinery

Silver Crusade

And as a correction to what I told Locke, it's 4/8 towers destroyed, not five. The map is accurate.
