Np Rook. The only reason I saw it was because I was looking up the lasguns info yet again and it happened to catch my eye.
Good to have you back, Rad. Johnnie's brother is trying to indirectly kill me.
Thats okay Rook, a little suspense never hurt anyone. Can't say the same about the Auldmaw or the Nurglings though.
I really hope he has some assistants to help examine my weapons. Otherwise we're going to be here a while. (Hey, why wouldn't I be carrying around all the weapons I could realistically carry?)
No worries Iacton, blades are the order of the day. Don't feel bad, at least you aren't carrying the golf-bag of magic weapons I've had some characters toting around in D&D.
Who said I felt bad? By the time we get to Ascension territory (several years from now), I intend to have enough blades that if I carried all of them they would count as armor.
Bladed armour, that is an interesting image.
Just don't trip...
...or bump into someone.
Just don't trip...
These are blades, not guns. They won't all go off just because I fell over.
(Besides, I'd have an improbable number of scabbards to keep my improbably number of swords in.)
Davi, I don't know if you want to, but it might be time to spend a fate point. I know you only have two left and might want to save them.

So instead of shooting yourself, you'll just stab yourself repeatedly.
And the fight (probably) begins. Unless it dodges, I probably have first blood. Here's hoping I won't need to spend many more fate points.
Also, remember that since my blade isn't Primitive and has +2 Penetration, unless the Auldmaw is wearing a flak jacket it's going to get cut.
Does penetration affect toughness? If it does, Auldmaw took 10 points of damage, not 8.
It only affects your armor value. It does not modify toughness.
Thanks Balfic, I thought that was the answer, but I wasn't sure.
Cat, it might the time to spend a fate point.
It is just that it mentions armour points, but doesn't say anything at all about toughness, which is why I wasn't sure.
Thanks Balfic, I thought that was the answer, but I wasn't sure.
Cat, it might the time to spend a fate point.
Wish I could I have no more left.
Do you know how giddy I am at how well I'm rolling in this fight? I haven't been hit yet, and assuming the Auldmaw has at best 30 Wounds I've taken out half of it's health. Truly, the Emperor takes care of his own.

You guys (and Davi/Iacton especially) have earned a combat with some good rolls beginning to end, luck has been with your foes of late.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Posting has been slow the last couple of days because I'm in charge of the prep and cooking for the family dinner, and it has eaten up (pun intended) most of my free time.
After things have settled down tonight, I will post a few turns and get us caught up.
We can also be thankful that Rad will be returning to the game shortly, we've corresponded by email and I'm hoping to get him worked back into the game following the current scenes.
Happy T day everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks like my luck might be turning. No matter. I've still almost defeated the
If the pup's piteous cries do not summon its mother he may yet emerge with his life.
Damn it.
Welcome back Rook. Glad to see Papa Nurgle didn't get the best of you.
Now wouldn't it be funny for Johnnie to come back, kill the Auldmaw; and by rights become Luceros blood brother again...
Initiative already posted. You survived Nurgle's test, so you are worthy of his love.
I'll pass a Fear test one of these days.
I haven't passed one yet either, Davi. and that is with a 50 WP. I just missed three rolls in a row because of that -10. I feel your pain.

Between Christmas shopping, prepping the house for the relatives and work it has been a tough week for me to post. I have finished the second round of the Pipesource battle, and started the third, but may only be able to post sporadically until the holidays are over.
Provided there is still enough interest, now might be a good time to start concepting out Deathwatch characters for the Sons of Jericho campaign, as I plan on bringing the wiki online over the coming week while on vacation (hooray for free time!).
Here's wishing everyone a Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Holidays to everyone.
Rook I am still interested in the Sons of Jericho game. Just have the base Death Watch book though.
Happy Holidays everyone!
I am still interested in the DW game. Do you want us to use the pregens or make a character from scratch?
Happy Chanukah
Tad late for that, don't you think?
Anyway, merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
(I still call dibs on a Blood Angel Apothecary in the Deathwatch game.)
Rook I am still interested in the Sons of Jericho game. Just have the base Death Watch book though.
We can get together this week, Balfic. I can bring the books you don't have.
I still want to play the Devastator Marine.

Hi again, Rad. Thanks again for being patient while events unfold in this game, I promise to get you back into action soon.
As far as the number of players for the Deathwatch game goes, I'm offering spot to everyone in the DH game who wants a spot first, and will consider recruiting following that. I'd prefer no more than six players though, just to make managing the game a little easier.
Lorm, we'll be generating new characters for this game, not pre-gens, and I'll probably use published material for the adventures, at least at first. I have a copy of The Emperor Protects coming and would like to work this book into a campaign arc of some kind.
For those who don't own the core book in the current game and who still want to play, using one of the pre-gens from the free pdf's on the FFG website, altered of course with your own personalization is fine to start. The book is excellent and comes highly recommended though, and would be worth a purchase sometime after starting the campaign.
Bal, the Deathwatch core book is plenty for now. I'd actually ask that you don't read the adventure compilation coming out, as that is what I will likely be using.
Davi, consider it reserved.
So, thus far we are looking at this for a kill-team:
Davi: Blood Angel Apothecary
Lorm: Undecided Chapter Devastator Marine
Rad: Death Angel Librarian
Bal: Hmm, I remember Bal also posting somewhere a few pages back that he was considering a Librarian. I'll let you and Rad hash out if squatter's rights prevail here.
Ellipsis and Catman are also welcome to join, they still have plenty of time to decide on reserving their places and their marines. Once I have the new book in hand, I will begin fleshing out the wiki.
OK, now that the early Deathwatch discussion is out there, are there any new Oremor Affliction talking points anyone would like to discuss? We haven't had a chance recently to dissect the game in OOC and I like to periodically open things for discussion for any questions, concerns, or recommendations to improve the experience for everyone.
Feel free to weigh in.
