Dark Heresy - Saladaris Cell (Inactive)

Game Master Aiunder

ugh I deserve a good deeds award and a backrub. Finished tearing out the ceiling drywall on a friend's condo and replaced it (with the insulation falling all over the place..bleh), then my mom called me to move furniture. I'm getting too old for this stuff...

Heh no coal this year for Xmas at least.

NOTE: I am a *prolific* character generator. The fact that the forums have a dice generator keeps me honest :D

What's with the new rolls

See the note :D just fooling around with the dice roller

There we go, added some flavor text, see the aliases for Castus. Good times :D

ARC, I may just call this a back up. Just in case :D

Sorry guys. I know I've been given the mike here, but I'm just so incredibly busy tonight and will hardly have access to a computer for the next few hours. For me, in my timezone. That'll take me far, far into the night. I'll try to get in a post or two in tomorrow night.

I'm ok with that. RL> posting (ARRGGGGG HERESY!!!!)

Also, since you're waiting on me for the report, and I'm waiting to see if I have to make some rolls, you got time :D

re-formatted the flavor text on Castus so it's not just a huge wall of text.

I'm working 14-16 hour days this week and pretty much falling asleep when I get home. If I don't post pretty quickly, please feel free to run me as an overconfident and somewhat sociopath assassin.

Ok great!:

Nebel cackled with righteous ferver as he ritualistically strapped the suicide bomber vest to his torso. His legs had already been replaced with more efficient blade like appendages by Occuxs, They were made from carbomononuclearpolymer, his vest would act as the detonator. JT had convinced him this was the only way, only he could sneak within 5 kilometers of the central gallery. It was about urban renewal, it was about the God Emperor! His friends would be watching for his mushroom cloud calling card from outer space. He would have the most kills by a single assassin anywhere in the imperium since 39k. Gee, I can't wait to talk about this on Oprah! Nebel felt good knowing JT also took his wallet and rifle, you know, to keep the, safe.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Yeah haha! But I'm looking at things from a localized-expanding-out-to-sector perspective. It does take quite a bit of time for those huge clunky spaceships to move from system to system. Honestly, we did seem to have a bit of time. (20 days to next murder, 6 more murders to work with after the next, that places things around an additional 120 days, depending on time between scheduled murders). I requested the battle fleet merely as a "just-in-case" situation. The "Final Option" if you will.

Project is finished. So I'm back. I will be checking at least a couple of times a day.

And JT, that was "overconfident and somewhat sociopath" didn't say suicidal anywhere in that. ;)

Heh yeah he is not suicidal

Sorry about infrequent updates and answers lately. Ive been dealing with a bad cold on top of preparing for christmas and work. Hopefully everything will settle down before new years but I doubt i will have any chance to post between the 24th and the 26th due to six christmases in six cities. Appologies in advance.

no problem at all

understandable....everyone have a nice Christmas !!

Merry Christmas guys! Or whatever holiday that you may be celebrating.

Ho ! Ho !! Ho !!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

No problem. !People Holidays Happy

Sorry for my short absence there the past few days, the site refused to let me on for a wee bit there.

Everyone was absent it was Christmas :).

Back from xmas. Will update tonight after work.

Okay, so I'm gonna be heading down to Florida for the next week starting Saturday for my first vacation in around ten years, so, while I'm pretty sure our timeshare has wifi, and I'll be bringing my laptop, there's a healthy chance I won't have access to these forums for a week starting Saturday. If I'm holding back the party at all you can feel free to roleplay me as you see fit.

I just hope I won't be without. I'm enjoying this too much to miss out on a crucial part in the story over a stupid holiday trip!

Heh, soak up the sun man! Eat some good food and drink a few beers for me. I hope you have access because everyone here is important to the story, but if you aren't I am sure ARC will play you straight.

Thanks man, will do.

Carp!

OH NO! A CARP! Oh my god! It is worse than I could ever imagine! A CARP! oh the humanities! Heh heh heh! Oh man I needed that this morning I am laughing like a buffon and people are looking at me funny. CARP!

Glad it helped.

I've gotten into the habit since so many sites block it out if you reverse the A and R for the more usual word.

Yeah, the Warhammer roleplay systems are not namby-pamby lovey-dovey like Pathfinder or its ilk. You fall, you die. It's bloody hardcore.

Note-to-self: Fate Points - Spend those bad boys.

Glad I had one to spend here :)

Burn not spend. Yeah the system is pretty brutal but on the plus side now Occux can get rid more of that weak flesh.

Sorry for my inactivity guys, been really f~$&ing busy/lazy. I'll do my best to be more active now.

Please jump back in the mix ASAP I really miss your characters interaction.

np, I was hoping you hadn't dropped.

Just need to do the wrap up stuff then i'll dish out rewards and experience

Damn, ninja'd.

Oh, I figured we need to go back for the cult leaders.

anyone mind looking at my character and make suggestions on what I should do with my points?

"Oi humie, yous best be gettinz more Dakka!" - Translation: More guns couldn't hurt.

Actually, hrm, I'm not entirely sure. Some more toughness couldn't hurt it looks like and some sound constitution helps by giving more wounds but I've never played Dark Heresy before so I guess I'm not the guy to make these kinds of suggestions.

Just trying to confirm that you listed those advancements that are over and above our 600 to spend right?

If that is correct then I will do the following in Conscript advancements which looks like I can spend up to 500 points in.

0-500 exp conscript
Sound constitution x2 100, 100
Basic weapon training SP 100
Pistol SP. 100
basic weapon LAS. 100

And the following in Guard
QuickDraw 100

Ok, some questions.

On page 57, in table 2-4, Assassin Characteristic Advances. After you purchase the simple for a 5 point improvement, you have to purchase the intermediate for another 5 point improvement. So over the course of your career you can only improve your characteristics a total of 20 points. Is that correct?

Once I have advanced to Shadesman, can I no longer purchase Sell-Steel advances or are they cumulatively available?

Do I get back the fate point that I used or is it permanently gone?

I guess I am looking at probably taking (at a cost of 100 each):
Simple advance for Weapon Skill, Ballistic Skill, and Agility.
Then the Sound Constitution twice at the Sell-Steel level and once at the Shadesman level. That will get my wounds up to 13 which is a bit more in line with what I expected.

Ok, I want two of everything! But what I decided to buy was:

hot-shot charge for my compact las pistol, cost 15
telescopic sight and silencer for my hunting rifle, cost 45
hand cannon with red dot sight and silencer 1 clip each of standard (loaded), dum-dum, and man stopper ammo 135
drop harness 25
lamp pack 15
{I am assuming we still have the microbeads}

Reading closer I did find that I do not get back the fate point. I will have to earn them as we go. And the previous rank advances are still available. No problem.

I think next I will start saving for some mesh armor.

Sounds good. Octus, Julian are you buying anything?

Yes, I am interested in this gun below. Kind of a dream list so let me know what you will allow.

Armageddon pattern autogun
Class: Basic (SP)
First imported to the hive factories of Calixis to
supply loyalist forces in the Tranch insurrection and the massive wave of mutant uprisings in Tranch’s Soot Warrens that followed, the Armageddon pattern proved itself both in the Tranch conflict and the decade of petty cult-inspired civil wars that plagued the Malfian sub in the following years. Still manufactured primarily on Malfi itself, the Armageddon is loud, lethal and uncomplicated; a heavy-hitter for an autogun, it fires large calibre solid slugs from a fifteen-round short box clip and can stand a phenomenal amount of abuse and keep firing. Since the uprisings, the Armageddon has become a staple of the arms trade in the Malfian sub and has started to make inroads into frontier areas where its stopping power and robust design rapidly gains converts.

JTs background is Tranch War Vet.

I would like to get a red dot sight for it, a scilencer, and a collapsible stock on it. Also could I get larger capacity magazines made for it like 18 or 24 or even a drum? JT is hoping it could be compact like this . . .

Collapsed Armegeddon

Compact so it could be carried along with the lasgun or combat shotgun, but still useful for being "quiet" unlike his fiasco with the lasgun in the cult room.

Other items on the wish list
Mark III FG at 10 each
Night vision goggles
Combat shotgun
Weapon upgrade to his existing pistol
Medical aids like stimpaks from Shadowrun
Armor upgrades
Fancy ammo

He has just enough for a hellgun but I don't know how that would affect the game.

JT gets 50 thrones a month per the book and had 80.

Please feel free to state what is available. This is my first time playing this system and I am having a great time with it,, but I am not. Up on all the rules or mechanics of how the gear would balance/unbalance the game.

Which book is the gun from?

You can purchase anything with an availablilty easier than rare that you can afford just note which book and page numbers.

If there is an item you pick that i feel may not be suitable for the game ill give you reasons.

Page 114 inquisitors handbook for the Armegeddon

That's fine

Sorry but sick kid kept me from posting last night. Ill hopefully be able to sit down and read/post tonight if i can get to to sleep.

My work schedule is going through the roof this week. If I don't make a post just decide for me.

no worries. I've been pretty relaxed about posting lately.
