Deathraven swings his mighty power fist once more.
Akkad growls angrily and swings at the little machines.

Taloc revels in his destructive power releasing yet another Hellish Blast. Based on Menstras' position, I will attempt to direct it where he will not be struck by the blast.

Damage
The horde is getting smaller and smaller with every blast from Taloc raining massive destructive power from his warp energies but there are still many more left.

Scarabs - 12
Deathraven - 10
Taloc - 10
Aldegund - 8
Akkad - 7
Draex - 6 (Heavily Wounded - 1 life)
Menstras pushes through the horde and holds his action as he takes in what he sees.
The horde attacks the group again.
Once again, Tacloc releases another Hellish Blast.
"Menstras, do we need to shut down some infernal machine or is there an end in sight to the final doom of these gnats".

Power fist du jour.
The swarm is finally destroyed! As you gather your bearings you see the room before you. It appears to be a very advanced manufacturum probably where they build these metalic abominations.
"Aldegund, what is your recommendation? Can we try to disable this machinery and use it for ourselves, or should we destroy it all?"
"These things arent even good to produce sparring drones. I say we rid the galaxy of such wasted construct "
Draex spits on the ground, still breathing heavily trying to hold his own.
"We have no resources other than what we have in our hands. We need to be very careful about what we expend energy on. If it doesn't serve a purpose to destroy something, we should conserve ammo."
Taloc grins at Deathraven underneath his helmet and chuckles "No, he wants to hack it to pieces Brother. It may not bleed but even simple destruction will please the nails that drive Draex, or so I am beginning to gather".
"We need to get rid of this drone insects, another explosion like before may not be a suitable outcome" looking at Draex "Nor a guarantee this time that it will deactivate this drones"
E, Pen 17
"Fool! Can you not see we are surrounded!"
Taking large strides Menstras runs across the catwalk towards the far end of the chamber.
[Ooc]I'm assuming the moving walls are thousands of tiny legs. Else he continues to examine the strange machines. Either way he still condemns Aldegund's shot.[/occ]
Your able to push through but not without being attacked this round.
You see a vast spherical chamber with a catwalk running through the centre. All along the walls are ripples of movement. It looks like this room is some sort of Manufactorum or something similar.
[dice=scarab attack]1d100
The scarabs miss again!Rest of you may go this round.
When the blasts hit the walls it damages them but then quickly returns back to it's normal state. It's almost as if the room if made of living metal.
"I would recommend to destroy it, we have no means to transport anything other that what we can carry ourselves, so I rather have this place destroyed somehow or we risk facing more skeletons and insect drone on every turn"
Taloc turns to Draex, "Have at it".
There does not appear to be any other exit from this room than the one you can in from. The technology this xenos race is using is beyond anything any of you have ever seen before. Machines that repair themselves, even walls...
Make Common Lore War rolls please.
vs 46
- FAIL
Common Lore (War)
Menstras you realize looking around this is a very strategic point for this xenos race and if you stay here for along period of time there surely will be a lot more enemies coming this way.
"Let us move on before we find ourselves trapped."
Deathraven moved to the nearest door and peered out.
Aldegund nods to Menstras and moves behind Deathraven a standard procedure to clear a room or take over it.
Taloc reaches into the Warp to expand his senses - Preternatural Awareness .
Draex tares into the machinery doing what he does best while the rest take tactical procedures to move into the next room while smashing into the equipment he ponders
Draex coughs up more blood on the machine and the lava like fluid starts to corrode the alien work.
Your group travels deeper into this mechanical tomb. You step through a passage into a chamber beyond, you find yourself precariously balanced on a narrow balcony. Before you, a massive, slab-sided tower stretches over 100 metres above your heads into darkness and below you as far as your eyes can see. However, just above you, the tower has a cavernous hole bored through the centre. You can just make out a black orb filling the
hole, surrounded by crackling green lightning. The inanimate bodies of countless mechanical creatures drift towards the orb on invisible gravitic fields to vanish within its depths.
Next to you on the platform is a flickering glass globe inset in the wall.
"I should destroy the globes... but the explosion from last time didn't leave Draex well, so we need to find cover before we do such a thing this time"
- Wow... can I spend something yet for re-roll lol?
- Wow... This is the third time, this does not look good for me lol
v 39
None of you are unable to operate the device. In the distance you can see the machine creatures vanish from view and new ones come into view almost like they are teleporting but they do not notice you. There is no other way in here but back out into the structure.
You travel further in dispatching random metal warriors but never encountering anything large force that would do your group much harm.
You make it to what seems like would be the center of the complex and see a giant Monolith. It's a massive, obelisk-shaped structure. It is partly buried beneath the rock of the planet, within a cavern that is more than 50 metres in diameter and 20 metres in height.
Near the Monolith you see 5 very large machine warrior types with large shields and what looks like some kind of power swords and another smaller machine warrior with a large power staff that appears to be giving them orders.

"i say we krr rush them kkkrrrr" draex vox crackles, busted from the explosion
