Kill Team Epsilon Zeta (DeathWatch) Mission 1 -- Final Sanction

Game Master Radavel

This is why I don't like packs! There is a time for fury and this is not it. That Son of Sanguinius will get himself killed and us too!

"Blood Angel, I lead and then you sweep past and kill them all! Will that calm your fury?"

Pistol and sword drawn, Einar will head for the beleaguered guard at double pace. Fast enough to be stealthy and fast enough to be useful.

Silent Move 51: 1d100 ⇒ 58 1dof
Concealment 51: 1d100 ⇒ 10 4dos
Awareness 54 +30sight or 10 smell/hearing: 1d100 ⇒ 50 3dos or 1dos

Leonadist stops, not expecting that ....Ok He waits till Einar runs past, than continues at his pace

-You two!- Gaius really means to stop the winding up. -Quit the banter, there's people in need who have their hopes put on us! Let's make it there double time and show them the Emperor's Mercy, be it orange, grey or blue!

Your Astartes physique and sense of urgency bring you to the vicinity of Bravo-Niner's position quickly. Your auto-senses detect multiple hostiles.

Forbidden Knowledge (Xenos) Check

Lore: Forbidden (Xenos) 44%: 1d100 ⇒ 56

F Lore (Xenos) 44: 1d100 ⇒ 47 basic fail.

Forgotten Lore:Xenos 38: 1d100 ⇒ 75

Damn, always forgetting it... but we've got +5 to all checks while in command range :P

That would make mine a simple pass.

Forbidden Lore-xenos(58+5): 1d100 ⇒ 31

3 degrees of success

For those who passed the roll

When he finally has them on his detectors, Gaius checks for the estimated distance to the enemies assaulting Squad Bravo-Niners. Depending on the results, his mind is already choosing proper attack patterns, like a focused and brilliantly programmed chess computer.

-Brothers, can anyone intercept their signal? Would be nice to have a glimpse of their comms. Any intel is precious.

"Negative on the signal interception, I could creep closer and overhear conversation though. Be aware these are Hybrids, no longer human."

Einar flicks his round selector to Metal Storm rounds and checks over his chainsword, refraining from firing it up until stealth and surprise is gone.

-Holy Emperor, protect us...

Gaius gets his Brothers ready for the incoming engagement.

-Those that are going to use ranged weapons, try to close distance to about 60 metres. The rest, charge at will. I'll close the gap between the two groups and give you further advice. For the Emperor!

Gaius speech is aimed at forming a cohesive unit made of Brothers from different chapters. It is a key moment, since they just lost their Librarian and found a new Brother Marine, a Blood Angel. Teamwork is now more important than personal boasts or anything else.

-Remember that the Emperor sacrificed himself to give us a future. Several Primarchs also made great efforts- he looks at Brother Leonadist -and some others played their part knowing history would omit their names from the glory of the final assault. Everyone has a role to fulfill, and together we can show the universe that the Adeptus Astartes will always prevail.

He pauses for a moment to check how the words are working.

-Sons of Russ and Jonson, of Dorn and Guilliman, all across the Galaxies, together in the sacred task of giving hope and future to humanity. Living up to the Emperor, for He is our guide, our Light in the Darkness. Space Marines!

He waits for the others to answer the battle cry.

-Now, let's purify this! Fire at will! Brother Leonadist, do what you do best - I will watch your back.- Gaius puts his hand on his Assault Shotgun. Then he adjusts his Bolter and proceeds with the Assault with his fist on high signaling the charge.

Will activate the Oath of the Astartes, then use Bolter Assault (everyone can, for free, do a Charge Movement and a Standard Attack with a Bolter or Bolt Pistol, or throw a grenade). Then is Half Action to put his Bolter on his back again, Free to produce the Shotgun and Half to move forward, covering Leonadist.

++This is Corporal Meeks of Bravo-Niner. We've lost half our number and the rebels are preparing to make their final push. God-Emperor save us.... ++

Not one who normally partakes in team displays of bonding, Einar is however fully aware of the power of fear. As Gaius calls his battle cry, Einar lifts his head and howls. Revving his chainsword he charges forward, loosing a storm of death ahead of him.
Charge move 15m, then fire a single metal storm round. Half move and then fire another metal storm round. Not sure if any modifiers (horde size,range etc) will apply

Attack 50: 1d100 ⇒ 63 1dof unless modifiers.
Dmg roll 2 and pick one: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (4, 8) + 7 = 19 therefore 15X, pen 2, Blast (2)

2nd Attack 50: 1d100 ⇒ 3 4dos
Damage roll 2 and pick one: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (1, 6) + 7 = 14
therefore 13X, pen 2, Blast (2)

Not sure how many a blast will hit. If these are a horde, then blast 2 explosive is 3 hits. If not then it depends how close they are, so didn't roll the others

Leonadist nods to Gaius, and charges toward the enemy. Nearing his foes, he lets loose with attacks from his favored melee weapons.
Attack, 56(Chainsword): 1d100 ⇒ 27 2 dos
DMG, if hit(Chainsword): 2d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (10, 3) + 3 + 4 = 20 17
Attack, 56(Ceremonial Sword): 1d100 ⇒ 37 1 dos
DMG, if hit(Ceremonial Sword): 1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 4 = 11

Leonadist, you can also do the Charge+Shooting thing, it's free... ;)

Wait, so I can charge, shoot, and attack with two melee weapons?

Here's how it works: in my turn, I activate the Squad Pattern, which allows all of you to make a free Charge movement + free shooting with a bolter or throwing a grenade. Then in your turn you do what you want (knowing you, charge and drink your enemies' blood, am I right?):P

Still waiting for Viluf and Reinald. Gonna give them next 24 hours to post. Then I move the story along.

Sorry, I was away for the weekend.

Viluf frowned at first but grinned at Gaius when he gave his speech. He moved after them all with as much speed and force as he could manage, but not able to take part in the group charge tactic due to the weight of his weapon. As they approach, he set down a wall of fire, clicking to Hellfire rounds, hoping to aid the charge.

60 BS+10 Full Auto(+10 if I can move in behind some cover as I fire too)1d100 ⇒ 46 DoS / 7 DoS if Unmovable Warrior is in effect.

2d10 + 10 ⇒ (7, 4) + 10 = 21-17X, Pen 6, Blast(3)

Thanks :). Here is the free shooting attack (if the GM lets me edit my action)
Attk, 42: 1d100 ⇒ 50Less than 1 dof
DMG, if hit: 2d10 + 5 ⇒ (9, 3) + 5 = 17

With the command given and their target in sight, Reinald raises his bolter, utters a subtle pledge, then squeezes the trigger as he runs forward.

1st Attack, BS 43+5: 1d100 ⇒ 23 2 degrees success
Damage: 2d10 + 9 ⇒ (1, 3) + 9 = 13 12 damage, pen 4

2nd Attack, BS 43+5: 1d100 ⇒ 65
assuming that misses

Remember that we cannot benefit from more than one Squad Pattern per turn.

Your assault catches the rebels by surprise. Einar manages to kill two officers, while Leonadist carves a bloody swath among them. Viluf's heavy bolter lays down a devastating storm of death.

Reinald fires his bolter in support.

Gaius I did not see any rolls from you.

The survivors attempt to mount a defense.

attack rolls (3x) 1d100 ⇒ 24 1d100 ⇒ 92 1d100 ⇒ 15

Everyone roll 1d100; highest gets the first roll; second highest gets 2nd roll and third highest gets 3rd roll.

1d100 ⇒ 42

You're right! I was so focused trying to coordinate the others... :P
So Charge move (15m) and Single Shot.

Bolter Assault Bolter Shoot 46%: 1d100 ⇒ 44 => 44 Body
Damage if successful: 2d10 ⇒ (1, 8) = 9 => 8+9=17 Pen 4

That was for free; on my turn, Change again to Lead by Example, Full Advance (10m), change the Bolter for the Shotgun and Single Shot. I'll assume I'm still not at 15m.
Assault Shotgun Single Shot 46+5=51%: 1d100 ⇒ 26 => 62 Body
Damage if successful: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 Pen 4

random hit?: 1d100 ⇒ 69

random hit: 1d100 ⇒ 37

Roll: 1d100 ⇒ 66

Gaius 69
Leonadist 66
Viluf 42
Einar 37
Reinald??? I roll for you in 24 hours.

DAMN! I rolled back on Tuesday but apparently it did not show up; so sorry to keep everyone waiting

random hit: 1d100 ⇒ 31

So, I might as well be rolling a Dodge...

Dodge 44%: 1d100 ⇒ 56

Gaius and Viluf suffer hits from concentrated las-fire melting paint and ceramite but their natural toughness carries the day and they suffer no damage.

Surviving members of Bravo-Niner see your intervention and they take heart and redouble their efforts to resist.

Rolls guys

How far away from the enemy am I after the Charge and then moving? I was supposed to cover Leonadist's back, though I guess I can't keep up with his jump pack.

"That is cute. My turn!"

Viluf switched to regular ammo, spinning up the Bolter and unleashing a hail of bullets on the remaining targets.

BS 60+20+101d100 ⇒ 38

2d10 + 10 ⇒ (5, 5) + 10 = 20

How far away from the enemy am I after the Charge and then moving? I was supposed to cover Leonadist's back, though I guess I can't keep up with his jump pack.

Fairly close. less than 10 meters.

Alright, then...

-Keep up the fire,Brothers! The Emperor's Smite will deliver His judgement! Sweep this scum!

Gaius stands in place, trying to form a bond between Brother Leonadist and the rest, while constantly shooting his shotgun.

Full-Auto fire (+20) at short range (+10). Don't know if they're a Horde, so I'll roll damage just in case.

Full Auto Shotgun 46+20+10+5=81%: 1d100 ⇒ 87

Really... Ok, I feel this would be bad for morale, so I'll spend a FP to reroll. Lead by Example, after all...

FP=>Full Auto Shotgun 46+20+10+5=81%: 1d100 ⇒ 72
Damage: 1d10 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 I Pen 4

Not even an extra hit... Damage die rolls a 3... Come on...

Leonadist moves forward five feet and slashes with his swords. You will feel the wrath of Sanguinius!
Attk, 56,Chainsword: 1d100 ⇒ 812 dof
DMG, if hit: 2d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (5, 1) + 3 + 4 = 13
Attk, 56,Ceremonial Sword: 1d100 ⇒ 822dof
DMG, if hit: 1d10 + 3 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 4 = 8

Einar fires a short burst of semi-auto fire from his pistol, but ducking return fire throws his aim.

Attack 50+10: 1d100 ⇒ 89 2 dof unless some modifiers
Dmg roll 2 pick 1: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (2, 1) + 7 = 10 ha! Take the 2, for 9X pen2 blast 2!

You keep up your tally of kills. Your opponents mere chaff for the harvest.

Awareness Check at Minus 20 Please

Awareness 37-20=17%: 1d100 ⇒ 40

vision 4 DoS, hearing 3 DoS

Leonadist, Viluf....

In the chaos of battle, Leonadist and Viluf are separated from the rest of the team.

Einar and Reinald both detect something odd beneath their feet and manage to dodge out of the way of the genestealer emerging from the ground.

The same could not be said of Gaius who immediately is attacked.

Attack Roll 1d100 ⇒ 10 5 DoS

Damage 2d10 + 12 ⇒ (1, 8) + 12 = 21 Pen 12

Leonadist nods to Viluf, then to the genestealer Lets destroy that abomination

Rolling clear as the genestealer springs to it's feet, Einar rises to one knee and swings his chainsword at the creature's leg.

Attack 47: 1d100 ⇒ 45 simple success hit R leg
Dmg roll 2 pick 1: 2d10 + 3 + 6 ⇒ (4, 2) + 3 + 6 = 15 Pick the 4, for 13R pen 3

Dodge 44+5=49%: 1d100 ⇒ 46

Gaius reacts at the very last second, ducking and avoiding the genestealer's deadly claws. He then steps a bit backwards and fires his bolt pistol.

-New Xeno threat at your twelve! End its life in the name of the Emperor!

Drawing Bolt Pistol as Free, Aim as Half Action and firing as Standard Attack (Half Action). Bonuses are +10 for aim, +10 for numeric advantage and +5 for Lead by Example. The rest of you might as well use some bonuses, you know... :P

Bolt Pistol attack 46+10+10+5=71%: 1d100 ⇒ 91

Just that good that I don't need to! ;)
