What secrets lay within the House of Dust and Ashes?


101 to 150 of 181 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | next > last >>

So it's a bit of a scrum inside the small quarters:

Inside the room


Male Ifrit Brawler 7 | HP 74/74 | AC: 21, T: 14, FF: 17 | Fort: +9, Ref: +8, Will: +3 | BAB: +7, CMB: +12, CMD: 24, +2 to Trip and Grapple | Init: +2 | Perception: +8 | Feral Aspect 10/10 minutes

At this point I'm voting everyone fall back, lob in a grenade, and close the door. Repeat until tender.

This does beg the question...does any of us actually have any grenades?

If 6 shots at Point-Blank with an Arbites Shotgun doesn't kill it, it'll laugh off frags, and I sincerely doubt we got meltas. Hopefully Allrianne can help with the sword, though. We need hard hits.

I'm considering using my Blessed shotgun shell for the other one, though. Not much help when we're dead.


Human Noble-Born Assasin (FP1/2; W11/11)

Should have pointed out the blade earlier, someone could probably have grabbed it when I was out.


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

I'd have loved to, had I known which end to hold. In the current situation, I'd have the grand total of negative 5 WS with a power sword, and I like my fingers where they are, thank you very much!


If it was not the vilest heresy I would wish you all a good all Hallow's Eve.


The servitor's approach!

The Servitors


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

Oh, she's not staying inside, merely not wanting to be touched by a servitor as she leaves on her own volition.


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

Basically, Yelisaveta would prefer to talk things over, and she's overly against being interrogated in a cell. The Deceive was mostly for the 'I'll definitely come willingly and not shoot your guards with my concealed weaponry if you want to seize us.', since I thought that was the most fitting one.

Though, her intentions are to explain the whole affair, and hopefully improve on their reputation with the Mourners.

Congrats! And welcome to the Dad club.


Male Human(Hive Worlder) Enginseer

Sorry everyone, I'm going to have to drop out. I'm missing a lot of posts, and I can't keep up anymore :( Have fun, and Konstantine, congratulations :)


Congratulations Konstantine.

Sorry to see you go Binerith.


All right then.

Who's left? Do we soldier on, for the glory of the Emperor? Or is this a lost cause?


Male Ifrit Brawler 7 | HP 74/74 | AC: 21, T: 14, FF: 17 | Fort: +9, Ref: +8, Will: +3 | BAB: +7, CMB: +12, CMD: 24, +2 to Trip and Grapple | Init: +2 | Perception: +8 | Feral Aspect 10/10 minutes

Still here, but busy with family matters. My step-father has been diagnozed with cancers (8, in total) and we're organizing where my mother, who is disabled and being cared for by my step-dad, is going to be living once this runs its course. She may be living with me, my sister or taking a third option, and right now that and a lot of other things are up in the air.


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

I'm still interested! It's quite the interesting game so far, and I'm quite enjoying Yelisaveta. The posting has slowed down, but it's a busy month for me, too.

Sorry to hear that, Emerik. I wish you all the best.


Human Noble-Born Assasin (FP1/2; W11/11)

Still here sorry!


So, how we're going to handle the departed characters: NPCs, secondary characters, or they were never here?


Male Ifrit Brawler 7 | HP 74/74 | AC: 21, T: 14, FF: 17 | Fort: +9, Ref: +8, Will: +3 | BAB: +7, CMB: +12, CMD: 24, +2 to Trip and Grapple | Init: +2 | Perception: +8 | Feral Aspect 10/10 minutes

NPC's until they can be called way for another mission?


Still here, busy month in December, but I'm down for continuing the game.


So onward we go.

The active players then are:

Sister Jasmine, Albaras, Allriane, Alekseevna, and Konstantine.

The provisional NPCs are De Guerre and Binerith.

Is that right?


Think that's it.

I don't need to try anything, can wait until the showing, but I'll support anyone who wants to try something else before then.

Hey guys. Finally on holiday. So can post more =^^=

-Posted with Wayfinder


I'll putting this on a brief hold, until Mon, 26th. Everyone have a good holiday!


Male Ifrit Brawler 7 | HP 74/74 | AC: 21, T: 14, FF: 17 | Fort: +9, Ref: +8, Will: +3 | BAB: +7, CMB: +12, CMD: 24, +2 to Trip and Grapple | Init: +2 | Perception: +8 | Feral Aspect 10/10 minutes

Enjoy your merriment, the Emperor commands it.


Happy Holidays all1

Right, since this game has been somewhat confused regarding purpose:

As far as I've understood, we're sent to this place to investigate the auction, which is done in the final resting place of Erasmus Haarlock, who is an (in)famous Rogue Trader. What our inquisitor's sent us here to do is the thing that is a bit murky to me: are we looking to investigate the other attendees, the Mourners, who are creepy as all hell, or something else?

Also, I re-read the thread, as far as I've gathered, Locutor Mayweather is our ally?

I'll also put in some snippets of information I'd gathered from digging into the thread:
-Cisten is interested in Erasmus Haarlock
-A trooper was found, brain missing.
-Locutor Mayweather is confirmed to be our ally.
-Ships failed to arrive for the auction
-There is an Eldar Corsair, Badb Ra, who is here looking for a Key, and has a definitive dislike of Master Nonesuch.
-There is a Rogue Trader, Captain Rubio. I can't seem to find what's happened to him?
-The auctions take place in the Garden of Lost Saints: Are we there now?
-There is a Gilded Widow, which is a machine that apparently sees the future, a late addition to the auction that isn't in the catalog.
-There is a ship in a hidden cove?

I joined immediately after, when blood was found in the corridor.

Is there something you'd want us to focus on, GM? I'm getting quite, quite interested in this investigation, though I think we lost track of our broader goal.


Human Noble-Born Assasin (FP1/2; W11/11)

Aha, thanks for that.
I've been meaning to re-read the entire thread for some time now so I know what's going on.


The mission brief provided by Marr was somewhat vague, and it gives you broad latitude. The main things he appeared to be interested in was:

--Who attends the auction.
--Who bids on what items.

Regrettably my posting in the next couples of days might be erratic; due to extreme weather I might have to relocate myself for the next couple of days.


Human Noble-Born Assasin (FP1/2; W11/11)

Stay safe Cirle, games can wait.


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

Ouch! I understand exactly what you mean, GM. Best of luck with travelling in that sort of weather.


Male Human Arbitrator 4

Hey folks. Just saying work is putting me under a lot of stress. Will be back to posting by the weekend

GM, I think I asked that before, but can I get a confirmation that we do, in fact, know the things from before we joined? I'd like to ask the Eldar about Master Nonesuch, since I do remember the two not seeing eye to eye.


You mean from events as experienced by the 'original cast'? Sure, of course.


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

There was a mention of a ship in a cove somewhere that Binerith picked up, right? We didn't find where it was, though, so we might have to investigate that.

Also, I don't have any of those knowledges, but I'll ask someone that does about the Halo Devices when I get the chance.

I'm heading a funeral, and so won't be around for a few days. Apologies.


WS 31, BS 47, S 32, T 30, Ag 42, Int 32, Per 38, WP 33, Fel 46, Wounds 12/12, FP 2/3

Hey!

I'm just letting you know, due to general bull happening in my life, I'll have to be off of Paizo for a while. Hopefully, I'll be back in a week or so, but until then, I'll be unavailable. All the best, and see you soon, I hope!


Male Human Arbitrator 4

I'll accept that as a given.
