Storm of Sinners

Game Master BayouSnowman

Del quickly examines Elyas and provides first aid.

Medicae TN 601d100 ⇒ 52

Remove 5 points of damage, since you are only lightly damaged I think.

"Brother Valerio patch up his armor with the cement, I don't want the integrity of him to be compromised in a environment or to any foreign material." as Brother Arkhos turns to look at Daysha

"We shall give it to her. How many survivors are there?"

I actually thinks it is 10 points, your Narthecium among other things doubles the amount healed by first aid(Core p. 173)

"I am most grateful," Elyas says when Brother Del's administration of first aid is finished. Once the flesh is mended Elyas tends to his damaged armour. Whispering the incantations of sealing he applies the repair cement. It quickly hardens and while not a work of art the temporary repair closes the gaps. Seeing machine spirit's warning signs disappear Elyas knows that it is pleased. He concludes his work with swearing an oath of repair to secure the continued service of his armour.

Repair Cement 2/3

"Only the Sister Superior is awake, but I believe others might be saved. We encountered a remaining element of the Children of Torment. They possessed a surprising amount of psykers. We burned and killed all the traitors and witches, but we took many casualties. Sister Superior sent me ahead because of my ability to move undetected. She believes she found something that needed to be secured."

The Magos begins to move forward with his servitors, seemingly oblivious to Daysha. "The component of the great machine spirit lies in this direction Astartes."

"Brother Elyas, Lutha and Del go with the Magos, Brother Valerio come with me to meet the Sister Superior, your expertise will be invaluable"

After one of the Daemonettes had seemingly sprung back to life Lutha had spent the last few minutes making sure none of the others would do the same. Once satisfied that their foes were thoughly deceased he reloaded his combi-weapon and sheathed his sword. Only after their new assignments were given did he pipe up:

"Brother Arkhos, our primary objective is to secure the Magos' necessary components. You and Valerio should remain with him to ensure our success. Let myself and Brother Del see to the Sisters, we won't be of much help with the machine-spirits anyways."

"Brother Hallean's words carry some merit," Elyas remarks after the suggestion. Turning to Brother Arkhos he asks: "Orders?"

Valerio looks to Daysha, a twinge of guilt in his heart. "I am sorry that I can not be of assistance to Sister Superior as I am duty-bound to retrieve the necessary parts for the Pious Immolation as both a member of the Kill-Team and as a Techmarine. Please, know that I do wish the sisters good will, and I hope that my Brothers will be of enough assistance." He makes the sign of Aquila and bows slightly before moving to stand by the Magos.

When Brother Arkhos gives his orders Valerio hesitates a moment, staring in confused silence between the Magos and Arkhos, as Brother Lutha makes his observations.

Arkhos contempt for the sisters is probably to much so he decides in another course of action more sound after listening to his brothers "Fine... Brother Lutha and Del go check with this item of importance is and check on the Sister Superior and survivors" palpable disdain for wasting time on the wounded sisters "Brother Valerio and Elyas with me we must oversee the survival of the Magos and the parts needed for the repairs. let the Emperor guide you Brothers"

With bolter and chainsword in hand, Del proceeds to the ailing sister with the others.

"The Emperor protects, brothers ."

Daysha leads the team through areas that are difficult to climb over due to battle debris. Roll Climb Difficulty -10

The Magos and his team of servitors arrive at a strange generator of sorts. It looks like it has almost an organic appearance, certainly dark-tech. "We must Sanctify the device. This will take some time, Tech-Brother Astartes, if you assist us the machine spirits will be grateful."

4 DoS

Lutha hauls his massive form over the debris. He could have been considered relatively lithe for a space marine, but compared to the silent grace of the assassin he was little better than a giant drunkard.

Valerio begins to work with the Magos in order to Sanctify the device.
Logic(40): 1d100 ⇒ 63
Demeanor: Son of Dorn
He stares at the device, it's twisted nature foiling all his attmepts so far. He feels anger rising through him, coming from deep within and lashing out towards the machine. Valerio is about to give up, and rage against the wicked device when he stops. He takes a deep breath as his face becomes passive, his anger tempered. He begins to move slowly and deliberatly, methodically, as he works through the process of Sanctifying the device.
Logic (40): 1d100 ⇒ 36

Current Round count until Device ready 19

Am I continuously working on the device, or can I set up a kill-zone and some defenses?

This is going to be an extended test for Brother Leon. Other Factors might reduce the length of time he is committed to it.

Arkhos will assist Brother Valerio as much as he can "Brother Elyas the moment we have any activity in the area let me know and I will come to your aid"

Tech-Use 40 1d100 ⇒ 9

Once Brother Lutha climbs the debris he can see the area where the sisters met the Traitors on way to the command deck. The Sister Superior is trying to render aid to a fallen sister.
Roll Awareness. Anyone else with Brother Lutha can once they make their climb check.

Awareness (70): 1d100 ⇒ 33
3 DoS

Do the Sisters have any kind of respirators or sealed armor?

The sisters are in sealed armor, but many of them are wounded and likely would be exposed.

"See to your duty with haste Apothecary, we need to move the sisters as soon as they are able. Daysha, if you have no other orders I would appreciate your assistance with keeping lookout. If this area were to suffer another firefight the results would likely be disastrous."

Lutha hops down from the last barricade and begins approaching the Sister Superior:

"Sister Superior Adele I am Brother Lutha Hallan of the Deathwatch and this is my compatriot, Brother-Apothecary Del. We have come to render assistance for you and your team in whatever you may need."

Once they approach the generators a single thought dominates Elyas' mind - Heretical. Following his orders he turns his back to the marines and techpriests working in unison to watch for any hint of warp activity. At first his senses seem to be attracted to the infernal machine and what dangers it might pose, however reciting the litany of thought clears his mind and his sense turns outwards unhindered.

Awareness, 45+10: 1d100 ⇒ 84

Del quickly does his duty and patches the sister.

The Sister recovers from the aid Brother Del gives her. He is able to treat another one that is wearing the gear of a Seraphim(Jumppack).

Thank you for your aid. This ship has stopped firing so I assume you were able to restore the surface to space weaponry? We stumbled upon this. Daysha was able to decipher a portion of it." She points to a blood-stained obelisk. It has strange writing on it. "Do not try to utter the words, but it speaks of a prophecy. I think it maybe linked to the Tyrant Star. We need to preserve the information, but I do not want to touch the foul thing."

Of all the times to give up a pict-recorder...
Can I spend a fate-point to try and acquire one through other means?

"A sentiment that I too share, but we do not have time to arrange proper extraction. This area is liable to experience decompression any moment and we need to start moving those that can be saved. Did any members of your team or the guardsmen deploy with a pict-recorder?"

"Brother Arkhos, I fear we are not alone. My auspex sees nothing, however the corner of my eye did. It is by the machine." Elyas voxes on the open squad channel for brother Valerio also to hear. He is somewhat conflicted by relaying such a uncertain find, but the thought of the warp overcome his embarrassment. He turns to the machine searching for the slightest wrong in the chaotic image.

"On my way Brother" Arkhos knows that is possible, it's the warp we are dealing with and they must be ready for it.

Arkhos will do a kill zone towards the entrance for anything that might come in

Del tells the sister,"I am but the Emperor's instrument. He is the one who heals you."

Brother Arkhos goes where Brother Elyas saw something. Brother Arkhos WP: 1d100 ⇒ 10
*Edit* no reroll needed misread result first time. Brother Arkhos feels something coming out of the machine that trys to invade his power-armor. Roll Initiative Team at device. If Brother Leon/Arkhos fight you lose the bonus to the round reduction you were giving it.

[The Sister Responds to Brother Del...
"Of course Astartes that is the way of it. We had no such devices with us at the time, Tech-priests were supposed to come on board after we secured the vessel. I assume they are busy with repairs."

You can alter the narrative with a fate point and Daysha will produce a pict recorder that the sister did not know she possessed.

I'll spend the fate point then, I assume that she'll let me use it myself.

Lutha graciously accepts the device from Daysha and does a thorough recording of the obelisk, subconsciously averting his eyes from its bloody surface.

We arrived on some kind of boarding vessel that is in the docking bay right?

"How long will you need before your sisters are ready to move Sister Adele?"

"Damned heretical technology. Brother Elyas if I stop aiding them it will take longer to finish this task, but I also think it is trying to invade the machine spirit of my armor and corrupt it."

Initiative 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Brother Leon

WP (65): 1d100 ⇒ 77

Lutha stops dead in his tracks as he feels something trying to worm its way into his mind. Apparently avoiding contact with the obelisk had proved futile, it seemed determine to pursue its nefarious desires. He clenches jaw and instinctively reaches for the purity focus hanging from his bolters handle, somehow managing to avoid crushing it in his mighty grip. He turns his focus completely to closing his mind to the invader before it could get hold.

Triggering Demeanor: Stoic
WP (65): 1d100 ⇒ 61

Brother Lutha is able to capture the information in the pict-recorder. The sisters and Daysha begin to prepare to move out.

Still breathing heavy from the near loss of control Lutha voxs Arkhos:

"Commander: we have secured intelligence on the traitors along with the Sisters who are preparing to move their wounded to the Lander. However, it would seem that the Battle Barges command deck is still operational. What would you have us do?"

I have been keeping abreast of the situation, Valerio just isn't about to break concentration from his task or talk much. He's more than a little immersed in his job. Would you like me to roll Initiative, or since I'm just doing an extended action would I only need to roll if/when I would enter combat?

Go ahead and roll Leon so if I need to have you make a will check ect I can know when that takes place.

Your Watch-Captain is busy at the moment. Once your missions are complete we will blast that barge into oblivion. Just continue to extract the equipment and get those sisters out of there.

Initiative: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Valerio continues stalwartly plugging away at the machine, too busy and engrossed in his task to be bothered with what's going on around him. The generator, although terribly heretical and an abomination against the Omnissiah, is none-the-less quite interesting.

Brother Arkhos' words doesn't sit well with Elyas. Invating the sacred machine spirit of the blessed armour. The Lion protect us, he thinks and begins to recited the blessing of the burning wall. Replying he voxes: "I shall ward them of then Brother."

Initiative: 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Acknowledge, inquisitor. Assisting the sister presently."

Del lifts the sister onto her feet. "Let's go."

"Here they come Brother"

Arkhos hopes his Kraken rounds are enough to bring down whatever is coming in through the door.

"The Emperor Protects" as he says in a certain mocking tone as he maintains the kill zone towards the entrance taking the hit from the heretical device.

Brother Arkhos 11 Paranoia has gotten the best of Brother Arhkos as he fires at an unseen enemy. 1d3 ⇒ 3 Brother Arhkos receives 3 insanity points
Brother Elyas 8
Brother Leon 7 Continuing extended action
Unseen Entity 1d3 ⇒ 1 Laughter seems to come from the walls in the chamber.

As Brother Del and Brother Lutha begin to lead the Sisters out of the area, the ship rumbles and shakes. The crack in the hull gets a little wider and suddenly the area is exposed to vacuum. Luckily the heretical pillar blocks the void, but you know it will only be for a short time.

Athletic or Acrobatic checks to remain on your feet during the burst of vacuum.

1d100 ⇒ 58
1d100 ⇒ 54
1d100 ⇒ 45

Daysha and the Sisters remain on their feet.

Valerio keeps working at the machine, taking only the briefest of moments to look up as Brother Arkhos fires. He sees Arkhos firing true, landing round after round, at seemingly nothing as he hears the echoing laughter rip through the chamber. "Brothers, steel yourself. It is naught but the fiends of the Warp thinking they can toy with us. We are of the Emperor, we are of the Imperium, we are the light in these dark times. Do not forget it." He announces loudly through his Vox so that all may hear. He turns his attention back to his work, diligently doing his best to sanctify the warptouched tech.

I'm not sure if you would like me to make a roll for Logic again, but here it is just in-case.

Logic(40): 1d100 ⇒ 5
Alright, things might be looking up! *knocks on wood*

"There is something strange going on Brother I do not know what is it, but I will require Brother Del to check on my and Tellemchus when all is done here." as Arkhos focuses once more and feels regret for waiting those shots on what might have been an illusion as nothing was there, but that wretched voice in his head or is it just another trick from this vessel. Arkhos begins to recite the litany of St. Drusus in hopes of protecting his armor and his mind by focusing on something that might protect him from the evil machinations of this vessel.

I didn't see Athletics in the skill section so I'll just roll Acrobatics
Acrobatics (40): 1d100 ⇒ 9

There is an inaudible pop followed swiftly by the roaring sound of air as the pressure in the room plummets. Immediately Lutha engages his suits mag-boots but they manage only to buy him a few more seconds, the powerful suction of the void threatening to overwhelm the magnetic bond. With a grunt he lunges to one side, his Lyman's Ear working feverishly to make countless minuscule corrections to his form. A glint of exposed piping gives him the opportunity to lock his arm around the metal and he presses himself as closely to the wall as possible, reducing the surface that the passing air could pull against.

Warning messages flare over Luthas visor:

"Brother Del! Your armor is still breached, you need to seal it quickly! Double-Check the Sisters too! I'll try to find a bulkhead!"

I'm looking for any emergency bulkheads or shutters that I can use to seal off the breached section.
