The Heghland 1st - Only War (Inactive)

Game Master PhilOfCalth

Cort drops prone, now that he is taking some serious fire.

Kill that general so we can die having accomplished something!

1d100 ⇒ 37 dodge=successful

I forgot Garion!

Garion follows up on the Dominate Soldier with another swift attack from his chainsword
Swift Attack WS 43 +5 good quality +10 aim: 1d100 ⇒ 93 but his sword gets caught in the man's clothing and it's all the Commissar can do to push him away

The Storm trooper draws his knife and makes another attempt on Garion's life
WS: 1d100 ⇒ 5
Garion Parry WS 43 + 10 balanced +5 good quality = 58: 1d100 ⇒ 20
Determined though the attack was it failed to penetrate Garion's defenses

Pretty sure I just died. Not wearing armor and ate 18 wounds in one round.

did you dodge?

Cant don't have it as a skill. Erik isnt built as a fighter of any sort. Unless he is in a tank. He is a driver a repair guy. And was alot of fun to play. Well I can burn my fate point. But I'm not sure how it would help lol.

You can still dodge without the skill. It'll be at -20, but damnit it's worth the shot. Give it a try.

Jermaie, seeing the lasbolts, grenade blasts and explosions pass all around him, echoing in the maddening din of the confined space, decides enough is enough. First Jermaie does his best to get control of the grapple.

Strength:32: 1d100 ⇒ 29

Assuming I beat him: I'm looking at the grapple actions and it doesn't say you can try and hit your grapple opponent with a melee weapon. The following action will be done assuming I win the grapple and am allowed to attack him with the sword.

Jermaie, now in control, decides it's time to end this. "You may be a general, Scarus, but you'll die like all men. This is for Narine!

He then tries to skewer the general from the front.

Weapon Skill: 39+10(standard attacks are made at +10(ordinary))-20(untrained)=29: 1d100 ⇒ 73

I'm going to spend my only fate point to try and reroll that.

Weapon Skill: 39+10(standard attacks are made at +10(ordinary))-20(untrained)=29: 1d100 ⇒ 61

[ooc]Sigh. Unless some magic +30 comes out of nowhere, that's not going to do anything. Okay. Regardless of the results, that's the action I take if I'm allowed to.

After the attack, Jermaie yells over his shoulder at the rest of his squad amidst the carnage. "Fellas, there's a cave over here. It's our only chance; we have to try it. Somethin's making the enemy panicked, and I have a feeling it's not us."

1d100 ⇒ 72 reroll with said fate point? 1d100 ⇒ 21 missed it by one..... dam....

Burn the fate point. Not that I see how we are getting out of here lol.

Pretty sure I just died. Not wearing armor and ate 18 wounds in one round.

You can dodge untrained at -20. I guess that's what you did above. You're wearing Dominate Flak armour

Damage Eirik, first Grenade: 2d10 ⇒ (1, 3) => 4 Pen 0 Will be soaked by armour
Damage Miriam, first Grenade: 2d10 ⇒ (5, 8) = 13 Pen 0 => Miriam is wounded

Damage Eirik, second Grenade: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 2) = 11 Pen 0 4 will be soaked by armour 3 by TB = 4 wounds
Damage Miriam, second Grenade: 2d10 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4 Pen 0, that will be soaked by her armour

BS vs Eirik: 1d100 ⇒ 12
Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Pen 7 to the Arm = 3 will be soaked by TB 11 wounds
Rigtious: 1d5 ⇒ 2 The arm is useless for 1d5 ⇒ 1 rounds and Eirik takes 1 level of Fatigue

That's 15 wounds not including the critical which puts you at -4. I'll write out the damage tonight, but that's definatly not dead. It does mean you should stop standing there though

Scarus Opposed Strength: 1d100 ⇒ 98

OK so you can break free of the grapple, or take control of the grapple. If you break free you can't do anything else. If you take over the grapple you can peform one grapple controler action, like cause damage, to start giving him fatigue (opposed strength)
That means you can have your FP back as there is no way you could have used it

For some reason I thought we were dead at Zero wounds.

Alright. I guess that means I'll try and break out of the grapple. Punching him would be a rather fruitless venture while the rest of us get slaughtered, and it'll be difficult to try and drag the sucker away. He'll probably just slow us down and I'll have to be the one to drag him. Lets hope next time I don't screw up the test.

Mooks die at zero wounds in my game. PCs and named characters (like Scarus) have negitive wounds and die there abouts -9 or -10, depending on rolls

Jermaie breaks free of the General roling away.
You're still prone

So I guess we're waiting on Wikvaya

okay cool. Thanks phil

Oh, this is all kinds of bad...
Well, I'm hit by two attacks, and the first one was the grenade, so that's the one I have to dodge, the melta appears to be a hit (unless the stormtropers don't have something negating the darkness, but I bet they do).
In short, it's fate point burning time.

Dodge (Ag 35 + 10): 1d100 ⇒ 62

Yep, definitively fate point burning time.

I've let people choose what to dodge up until now, so you can choose to try dodge the meltagun... though that is a fail!
Lets do some math!

Damage Cormaeg, first Grenade: 2d10 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11 Pen 0 => 2 wounds

Damage Carno, first Grenade: 2d10 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 Pen 0 => Carno is wounded

Troopers 3 (with the meltagun) will fire on his greatest perceived threat Cormaeg
BS: 1d100 ⇒ 48 Oh S*** Cormeg!
Damage: 2d10 + 10 ⇒ (5, 8) + 10 = 23 Pen 20, to the leg => 18 wounds

That brings you to -8 wounds... You MIGHT survive that. I'll get back to you tonight

What luck I used my fate point last round trying to hit instead of saving it for a time like this.
Now I remember why I consider Step aside one of the absolute best abilities of all times.
No wonder it is a Tier 3 ability.

The shock of the hotshot lasblast causes Eirik to temporarily loose control of his autonomous functions. He is knocked prone, stunned for a round and looses the use of his left arm for 1d10 ⇒ 6 rounds.

Cormaeg's leg is cleanly severed by the melta packet. He takes 1d10 ⇒ 9 levels of fatigue and is bleeding. He falls unconscious from his injuries.
If you want to take control of your comrade until you come too, you can. While bleeding you have a 1 in 10 chance of dying each round

I'll NPC Wikvaya if he hasn't responded by tonight

Wikvaya switches to his medikit and starts work on Eirik
Int 60 + 10 Medicae + 10 from Master Chirurgeon + 30 Superior Medikit -50 injury severity = 60: 1d100 ⇒ 35
Eirik is healed 9 wounds to a total of 5 wounds
He also gives Eirik a dose of Stimm bringing him out of shock
Rounds Eirik can ignore critical damage for: 3d10 ⇒ (1, 9, 9) = 19

Scarus draws his bolt pistol and fires on Jermaie
BS -30 darkness -10 prone target +30 Point Blank +10 single shot: 1d100 ⇒ 84
But from the awkward angle the General hit rock only

Eirik, Carno(Cormeg), Cort and Garion are up next

Wow wik.... that's some good stuff he has in there.

I am assuming my ability to aim is shot.

We need to fall back men.

Will hole my actions for a moment. Looking around for somewhere to find cover.

It'll get you a -20 to everything when it wears off, so don't thank him yet!
Both sides of the cave have ridges the you can hide in. You are currently prone, so you won't be able to get anywhere this turn

Wikvaya Dodge the previous grenade blasts (13): 1d100 ⇒ 32 So wikvaya himself took 1 wound

Can I get a fresh map link?

http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Campaign:The_Heghland_First/Current_Map

Thanks I can never go back and find these links.

1d100 ⇒ 42 firing at whomever is staring so i assume the fellow in combat...i am prone

58+5+10+10+10-10=83 for 5 degrees of success

1d10 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
1d10 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Dodge: 1d100 ⇒ 68
The bolt round strikes the man's left arm causing him to cry out in pain.

Eirik will fall back towards the vehicle as fast as he can.

in order to get to the vehicle you would have to run through the Severan Dominate Storm Troopers. This turn you can half action stand and half action move 4m

I was being dumb and didn't notice it before, but there's a cave right behind where the general and I are fighting. Jermaie yelled it out before, so if Erik heard that it might be a better idea to try for that direction.

Okay can I do that please....

Eirik, fueled by Stimm climbs back to his feet and falls back toward Jermaie and General Scarus.

Carno Readies a Stun grenade and throws it at the melta gunner, hoping to disable him for long enough for the squad to escape.
I'm using the guardsman's profine from pg 372 but he cannot run or charge and he doesn't have nerves of steel. Obviously he's also equipped like a Highlander and is on 0 wounds
BS 35+10 single shot -20 darkness=25: 1d100 ⇒ 64
Scatter Direction: 1d10 ⇒ 7Scatter distance: 1d5 ⇒ 2m
The grenade lands just north of the melta gunner's ally
Dodges #3 (melta gun) and #4: 2d100 ⇒ (84, 53) = 137
Toughness tests -20, #3 (melta gun) and #4: 2d100 ⇒ (25, 87) = 112
The grenade goes off buffeting the dominate soldiers and leaving them stunned and disoriented.

Garion Death Save 1 = dead: 1d10 ⇒ 5

Garion slashes at his opponent once again
Swift attack WS 43 + 10 aim= 53: 1d100 ⇒ 89 but the many is a wiley opponent and avoids Garion's attacks again.

Of the troopers on the ground only two are capable of firing. They both decide to try free their General from his combat with Jermaie
BS at Jermaie+ 10 single shot +10 aim +10 close range -30 darkness: 2d100 ⇒ (59, 54) = 113
The troopers in the tower fire again on those they believe to be the most serious threats
2 Hotshot lasguns at Cort + 10 single shot +10 aim -20 darkness: 2d100 ⇒ (22, 84) = 106
Damage to Harmon: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 Unless Cort can dodge, that'll kill Harmon

Autocannon and Hotshot lasgun at Carno: 2d100 ⇒ (60, 56) = 116 the darkness causes most of their fire to be inaccurate

The lights of the facility start coming on and the sound of running feet start coming from everywhere.
Firing outside the cave no-longer has a negative modifier for darkness. Firing at something inside the cave is only at -10

Wikvaya and Jermaie are up

Turn 3 Map. Ctrl F5

1d100 ⇒ 21 Cort smacks Harmon's head and he ducks down just in time for a las gun to burn a hole in the ground in front of their faces

Jermaie, now out of their grapple, stares menacingly at General Scarus, his face a mask of calm, the general's sword pointed at the man's sternum.

"Maybe you're right gen'ral. Maybe this Imperium is some nasty business, but they gave me an enemy to kill, a man who's responsible for killing my friends. And if anything's gonna make me angry, it's that!" Jermaie, suddenly furious and shouting defiance, leaps at the general with reckless abandon, his sword coming in for a killing stroke.

"This is for Narine, you yellow bastard!"

All Out Attack; Weapon Skill:39+10(standard attacks are made at +10(ordinary))-20(untrained)+30(all out)=59: 1d100 ⇒ 9

That's six degrees of success. The duelist talent adds two to that test for a total of eight degrees of success. Bastard better not dodge. Thank you, dice gods.

I'm not sure what the damage'd be for the sword unless it's just a regular power sword. Please, oh please, dice gods, foul up that clumsy oaf's dodge roll.

Perception:39: 1d100 ⇒ 48

Cort jumps up and runs as fast as he can towards the cave, keeping along the edge of the wall to, perhaps guard against some of the fire.

@Jermaie - You need to get back into hand to hand in order to attack. So all you can do in that regard is charge (+20). All out attack is not standard attack as such you would not get the +10 for standard attack, but Scarus also wouldn't be able to dodge it... However you can only charge. I'll just apply your rolls to a charge your target was 39
Scarus Dodge: 1d100 ⇒ 92
It is just a standard powersword 1d10+5+SB Pen 5 damage

It's not your turn Cort

my post saying I am going on vacation seems to have been eaten. Well going in vacation and May or may not be able Tko post so that is my next action

Alright no worries... I'll NPC you as such until you return

Damage: 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 3 = 12

Huh, I don't think we've ever applied this, but in the rulebook on page 250 it says the attacker may choose to replace the result on a single damage die with the number of degrees of success of the attack roll. Since that roll would have been six degrees of success, I'm going to replace the two.

Total damage is 1d10 + 5 + 3 ⇒ ((6)) + 5 + 3 = 14 Pen 5

@Jermaie keep in mind that you're still prone

I'll give Wikvaya until tonight to post

Oh yeah, that'd be true since he dragged me down. It'd been a half action to stand and a half action for a standard attack if that was the way I'd go about it. I'm assuming I can't exactly charge on my stomach. If that were allowed, it would have been -20 for untrained and +10 for a standard attack. Net total of damage would have been 13 then. However, you told me I had to charge in order to attack. If I broke free wouldn't I just wind up in an adjacent square and not have to move to get into melee distance?

I'mm going to allow you to charge on your stomic. It just seems simplier over all. You'd still need to charge to iniatate hand-to-hand and otherwise you wouldn't have been able to get into combat at all.

Alright, sounds fair. Can I keep my old rolls or should I make some new ones?

We can keep your old rolls. I'll post how well you did after I get home tonight. I Have a long day today.

Scarus takes the wound heavily on the leg, but grits his teeth and manages to fight through it.

Wikvaya rushes to Cormaeg, scooping him up and dragging him into the darkness of the cave and against the cover of it's sides. He goes prone himself to inspect his patent.

Scarus desperately fires his pistol in combat
BS +10 aim +10 single shot: 1d100 ⇒ 58Hit
Damage: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Pen 4
Tearing: 1d10 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 Pen 4

@Jermaie - Feel free to dodge

Cort, Eirik, Carno(Cormeg) and Garion are up

Dodge; Agility:40+10=50: 1d100 ⇒ 98

Woah, nelly. Reroll? Err, with a firefight this intense, I'll probably need my fate reroll for something that'll definitely kill me. I just took 6 wounds after subtracting my armor -4 and my toughness.

Jermaie is too intent on finishing the job that he has hardly the ability to get out of the way in time before the general shoots him in the right leg. It's enough of a graze to make him howl in pain and fury but not enough to kill him outright.

Fall back towards the back of the cave. Looking around as I go.

I'll get well down the smaller cave, past Scarus and Jermaie. Give me an awareness please
