Dark Heresy - Haarlock's Legacy (Inactive)

Game Master Nethru

Mindblade attacks one of Nonesuch's guards. The goal was to alleviate Octavia's Adepts and enable them to rejoin their mistress as well as his team. They would need all the help they could get.

Microbead Transmission: "Demons on the field. I repeat. Demons on the field. Position untenable. Withdrawing to your location with stragglers. Nonesuch and Abbot Tarnas declared hostile combatants. The Emperor Protects. Mindblade out!"

Let me know how many swings I can take on the nearest one.

G. Emp. remember Mindblade is protected from Demonic protection by the will of the Emperor.

Sardon shakes his head, "I agree with Roj, we should retrieve our gear and then secure the relics of Haarlock. From what I can tell there are two ways out of here, the front door which is locked down and the chimney which is probably just as deadly to attempt as staying here. Perhaps once the Captain draws near to the relics mysteries will reveal themselves. I have another idea but it can wait for now".

Once he hears the transmission he sighs, Nonesuch was an obvious one but the Abbot is just one more obstacle we did not need.

Auraxis will grab a weapon from a dead PDF if one looks better than the Las Pistol I have now.

You can do full action on nearest one.

roj hears the transmission of of demons and loses it "Did he say Demons, tsk we must kill them all!" roj screams in a fit of rage tightening his grip on auraxis shoulder

Mindblade lashes out at the nearest of the protectors of Nonesuch. His Force Sword glows with the power of his Will.

1d100 ⇒ 81
1d100 ⇒ 69
1d100 ⇒ 58

All vs 57 + conditional modifiers

All misses unless you spend fate point to re-roll

Rest in hallways
All your visions return and continue making your way back toward the guest quarters. Along the way you encounter a few hostiles be it adepts or mourners and your group easily dispatches them. Octavia seems a bit uneasy being without her guards so close but continue on. Your all moving very slowly not trying to run into any ambushes.

Blademaster to reroll 1d100 ⇒ 61

Master Nonesuch
He makes a sound which could only be a laugh but it's hard to tell with all the insect like ticks in it and sends another pulling wave of nasty energy toward Mindblade with no regard for his servants.

Attack 1d100 ⇒ 23 vs 45
Please make a dodge check

Octavia Adept
He continues to lead the guards out ignoring the combat around him.

Abbot Tomas
The Abbot and his minions begin making their way out of the room while the daemons he spawned reign down hell upon the occupants.

Nonesuch Servants (3)
They all feel the psychic powered bladed of Mindblade and turn toward him swinging their fists.

Attack 1: 1d100 ⇒ 11 vs 40
Attack 2: 1d100 ⇒ 91 vs 50 (gangup)
Attack 3: 1d100 ⇒ 70 vs 50 (gangup)
Damage 1: 1d5 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Being a bare fisted punch you feel it hit you but your armor and toughness absorb it well enough to not affect you.

Dodge 1d100 ⇒ 45 vs 58

Round 6:
Octavia Guards (2) - 11
Lanus Cisten - 10
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Octavia Adept - 8
Abbot Tamas of Shale - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

The Daemons appear to be staying away from Master Nonesuch. when they get semi close they shriek and fly away to another target.

Octavia Guard
Their eyes finally go back to normal and book out of here full speed with the adept to meet up with their master.

Lanus
Still can't see him. Probably dead.

Mindblade
What do you want to do?

"Gee, thanks."

Mindblade backs to the door where he can limit the access of his enemies to him and prevent them from surrounding him and cutting him off. Fighting retreat.

1d100 ⇒ 23 vs 57
1d10 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Killing Will Willpower test: 1d100 ⇒ 34 vs 54

Single attack at the creature that scratched his armor.

WP Test 1d100 ⇒ 38

The blade digs into the servants flesh as you can see now he is wearing no armor under hits tattered clothing but the cut does not go deep. There is something strange about his flesh and your blade does not cut that deep only leaving a small mark.

Master Nonesuch
He appears to be getting a little upset that you keep dodging his shots and takes another.

Attack 1d100 ⇒ 24 vs 55
Please make a dodge check

Octavia Adept
He is now out of the room with the guards.

Abbat Tomas
He is now out of the room with his servants. The Daemosn continue to slaughter.

Nonesuch Servants
They continue to attack Mindblade only 2 this time.
Attack 1: 1d100 ⇒ 19
Attack 2: 1d100 ⇒ 92
Damage: 1d5 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Again his fist bounces off your armor.

Dodge: 1d100 ⇒ 48 vs 58

The God Emperor is surely protecting you this day.

The chaos in the room is dying down a bit as more people are dropping but it's still pretty nuts and bloody.

Round 7:
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

Mindblade
If you make an acrobatics roll you scoot yourself out of this room without them attacking you this round.

Acrobatics Test 1d100 ⇒ 99 vs 38

Fate point re-roll 1d100 ⇒ 82

1d100 ⇒ 55 vs 57

Blademaster reroll on 3rd swing 1d100 ⇒ 6 vs 57

How close are our quarters to the location where the relics of Haarlock are stored?

Your not sure where the relics are actually stored. If you want to find them your going to have to look through this whole building probably :)

Damage rolls

1d10 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

1d10 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

1d10 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Righteous Fury 1d100 ⇒ 46 vs 57

Extra d10 1d10 ⇒ 2

I can use dowsing to locate the relics fyi and I plan to once I use get my gear. Of course G.Emp willing

roj pushes forward feverishly in full sprint, fighting every urge not to return with only a pistol in hand to lay waste to these demons.
" remember the mission, remember the mission" whispers to himself over and over like a mantra.

Auraxis barks at Illidan, "Wait for the rest of us, this place is not danger free by any means!"

The first hit digs deep into the flesh of the man before you and you see insects escape from it's flesh. It's pretty damn gross!

The second hit hits him and rips more flesh off.

The third hit does the same but even after all that beat the man still stands before you with bugs flying around barely holding him together.

Illidan last time you tried to use a psychic power on the relics remember what happened?

Nonesuch Servants
Attack 1: 1d100 ⇒ 10 vs 40
Attack 2: 1d100 ⇒ 66 vs 50
Damage 1d5 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 doesn't do enough to penetrate your armor.

Round 7:
Mindblade - 9
Master Nonesuch - 8
Nonesuch Servants (3) - 5

Mindblade
You can do acrobatics again to disengage and GTFO of here.

I tried to use psyscience test in a room full of warp energy here I am just using it to find one item. I do not see how it would harm me but we will see what the G Emp has in store for me PLUS YOU SAID THE ITEMS WEREN'T IN THE ROOM

auraxis words fall on def ears as roj only thinks of the damage that can be produce by these demonic figures that has emerge into this realm from beyond the ether. Roj moves as fast as he can

roj face wears a wicked grin

Acrobatics 1d100 ⇒ 19 vs 38

Mindblad disengages and heads for the guest rooms at best possible speed.

Octavia's Adept and Guards meet up with the group not to far down the hall and moments later Mindblade appears. Your still a ways off from the guest quarters. It takes you nearly an hour to get to the guest area. You run into a few nuisances along the way but nothing your large group couldn't handle.

Octavia and her men go to the room and gear up and meet you back in your room.

Rubio asks if he can go to his quarters to get his gear.

Mindblade grabs his second Force Sword and his sheathed kineblades before turning to Nihil.

"They'll be looking for him, so he shouldn't go alone. I'll escort him while you get geared up?"

He slips the sheaths over his shoulders as he awaits Nihil's response.

Nihil simply nods. Mindblade was in all intents and purposes the most capable warrior here. It would be best to put Rubio in his care. That and he didn't believe a word that whoreson Rubio said. He knew of his connection with the Haarlock line whether he wanted to believe it or not. His reactions throughout the auction had made that evident. He quickly and quietly suited adorning his carapace armour and holstering his pistols. Clicking his tongue twice, he beckoned his cherub and servo skull two him, the familiar and animated skull coming to call. After the cherub perched itself upon his shoulder, he turned to his comrades.

"Now then, gentlemen... Shall we descend into the jaws of the daemon?"

Mindblade escorts Rubio to his quarters which was down the hall and he collects some weapons and armor and some other rather expensive looking items.

While they are gone Octavia and her men return and close the door behind them. She looks to the group.

"Now would you mind telling me why you think this Rogue Trader is a descendant of Haarlock and if he is why are we protecting him? You heard that thing if we hand over the blood of his line we will be set free if not we are all doomed to die here."

roj fits himself with his gear, comforted by the weight of his arsenal. Placing his bolt pistol away roj atunes his mind to the great ocean.

rojs veins bulge pulsating through his head, eyes turning to the color of smoke. A transparent aura builds around his being

Dowsing: old harlock book
2d10 + 5 ⇒ (1, 8) + 5 = 14 vs 11

1d100 ⇒ 45 vs 45

" I have a rough estimate where the items should be located. The guilded widow at least. We best hurry." roj checks his weapons auto gun in hand ready for action

The Guilded Widow was actually in the room all the other items were holograms so you already know where it is. Illidan actually never saw the other items just the holograms since he was kicked out.

"I suggest you dress quickly, Captain. They're out for your blood, and right now, we're the only thing standing between them getting it or not. While you dress, I have a question: How did you get to the island?"

Nihil merely chuckled softly, adjusting the straps on his arm bracer as he spoke.

"I believe he is the descendent of Haarlock because that is what he is. We saw his image in the twisted mirror, his face grow pale before he spent a small fortune on it. We've seen his reactions throughout the auction, how he shifts uncomfortably at the mention of Haarlock's line, and we've all seen how the Automaton turned to face him each time she spoke of Haarlock.

Rubio is still alive because we need him. You heard the witch machine. Haarlock is returning and Rubio is his final connection to the Rogue Trader's line. The entire sector is at stake in this little game, dear Lady, and Rubio will be the Ace up our sleeve... If we can keep him alive of course..."

Sardon dons his armor putting his synth skin away. He checks his bolt pistol and bolt gun ensuring both are loaded and ready.

"Well Ricard do we follow Roj, attempt to blast through the front doors or go to the crypt and see what awaits us there?" He ignores the Logician as he is doing everything he can not to turn his bolt gun on her heretical frame.

Octavia just listens to Nihil with a blank look on her face showing no emotions. Her guards stand still near her watching everyone get their gear on.

"Very well then. But if we are all about to die when this 13th hour comes upon us do not expect me to hold my guards back from providing him to this creature for our safety if he is who you truly think he is."

A few minutes later Mindblade returns with Rubio.

Rubio speaks first when he enters. "So what's the plan ladies and gentlemen?"

1 hour has gone by and only 12 left until your destruction according to the Guilded Widow.

"Its simple, really. We enter the Crypts and collect what we paid for."

Sardon smiles, "Yes, I supposed you would say that. Based on my experience and the experience of Roj there will be Mourners there waiting for us. We should probably form a game plan as to how to approach this place".

Sardon will give those present a lay out of the area and his idea of how best to approach a tactical strike. Auuraxis will look to Mindblade to see if he concurs.

"However, once we are inside I don't know what the place looks like, I was not able to acquire a schematic of the interior".

That is correct right G. Emp? No description of the interior based on our earlier investigations. FYI G. Emp, I will be keeping my eye on Octavia, if she acts funny she is getting a bolt round through the eye.

House of Dust and Ash

If your talking about the place where Greel greeted you and toss Illidan out yeah you guys have no idea what's behind those doors or how to get it open.

(Rubio ignored my question?)

While the group is working out a plan I will focus a little power with invocation
1d100 ⇒ 79 vs 57

2d10 + 5 ⇒ (7, 2) + 5 = 14 vs 11 sense presence it was harder to active

" I will take the lead allow me a few meters. I can detect danger before it happens and radio back if in a jam. "

roj goes to the door Sweeps the hall looks back to the group nodding roj lets his clairvoyant path lead him towards his destination although its hazy at best.

I need to know what sense presence can do with the nurfed rules to it. Remember I do have a chameleon cloak on. I have some grenades in case the tomb doesnt yeild to subtle matters. Im going to use my good for the success of this mission

Sorry I must have missed it

Before Rubio and Mindblade return

"A vessel brought us here from the main island with a few others."

“You are aware of the direction of each life-form, but
not their exact distance or location. You can distinguish between
different sizes (eg. miniscule, puny…enormous, massive) but you
cannot determine exact species or race.”

"Do you have a ship in orbit? One that could send a shuttle if we can hail it?"

Mindblade's plan and failsafes were beginning to form as quickly as his namesake.

"In theory we still have a ship outside waiting for us unless of course the Captain saw the friction go down and bolted from the dock".

Once Rubio answers the ship question Auraxis will push for a move forward, time is a wasting!

"My ship is in orbit and my transport was to return tomorrow I was told the day after the auction."

"Unfortunately, we don't have that long. Alright. Stay close to those two."

With a nod of his head, he indicates Auraxis and Nihil.

"I will cover the rear and keep an eye out for long range communications devices. What is the name of your vessel?"

"The Ozmandius."

Rubio is geared up pretty well. He has a power sword and a weird looking pistol, probably xeno, in hand when you guys are ready to move out.

Where are you guys head? Toward the items in general direction that Illidan feels the pull or going to the exit first?

Follow Ilidan, I don't think we are getting out of here without confronting whatever is coming here anyway.

Mindblade moves to the rear of the group, thus keeping an eye out for anyone following them, as well as watching Octavia and her adepts.

Onward, gentlemen!

roj moves forward at a steady and cautious pace, checking his corner seeking foes movements broadcasting his movements turn by turn

"so far we are clear"
