Argh...no success.

Without a Tech Priest, unfortunately I doubt any of us would have the required expertise. We could attempt to ambush any who leave and interrogate them, but they will soon catch on and be on alert. If someone could scale the mountain, we could get a vantage point and garner more information. The direct approach is our only viable option as of the moment.

I have no experience with mountain climbing, and my leg injury would only hinder us further. Unfortunately, I believe my only way in shall be through disguise. And let us not forget,though it looks imposing, it is built upon the foundations of treason and heresy! The Emperor walks with us, and if we stay true in faith, we will crumble this fortification for we our His Hammer!

Garion will wear a disguise, preferably from an officer if possible.

I assumed I was not a good candidate for this roll...but I am def still here to finish the mission. FOR THE EMPEROR!

Agreed, we go disguised as best we are able in vehicle, but we do not get too close. Hidetje vehicle, continue on foot and do recon . In Baldurs absence I can drive.

1d100 ⇒ 61

Garion is busy checking over his gear and attempting to strengthen his leg, and thus notices nothing.

Jermaie speaks truthfully, not all of us will be able to use subterfuge to make our way inside. Unfortunately, we need more info about this compound to truly know how to proceed. We need to continue north, and when we get closer, make our way on foot and scout out the premises first. It would be folly to simply drive up and hope we can talk our way past all of them. And let us not forget, our primary goal is to take the General alive, if at all possible.

I am skilled in dealing with others, and believe I should accompany the team that enters the compound. As Jermaie said, the others should create a distraction and prepare an escape. Any other thoughts?

I assumed the capture would fall somewhere around sowing chaos and running like hell heh. Hmm...forgot about uniforms. Ill take a proper look at our supplies and options when I get home tonight.

As far as I know, the plan has not changed. Sneak in, sow chaos, run like hell.

Garion spends the week recovering, but once his strength is back, he gladly takes shifts at the watch. He also shares what he knows about the Eldar with the squad, and works to keep morale up, focusing on the positive side of things. When Jermaie comes and speaks with him...

Garion looks at Jermaie, his face an impassive mask as the man speaks. Finally, when he finishes, Garion looks down upon the weaponry, then picks up the sword, idly examining it as he responds. As he talks, his face goes from impassive to a more compassionate, almost fatherly look. It shows caring, concern, and perhaps most bewildering of all to Jermaie, pride.

Reaching out, he takes Jermaie by the shoulder, making sure he has the mans full attention as he speaks.

Jermaie...you say that you and yours had a code, a sworn oath to protect each other. Here too, united under the Emperor, Brothers in his grand Guard, do we swear to protect each other. You claim that you failed in your duties, and as such, it is my duty to end your life. I say that there was no failure, and in fact, you did more than can be expected from most men.

We were ambushed, by the vile and cunning Eldar. Frail, weakminded creatures, but vicious and cruel. They knew they stood no chance against the Warriors of the Imperium. They knew in a fair fight, they would be crushed beneath your blade, spitted upon your righteous anger! They knew that Jermaie Dael, my Brother, would crush their Xenos filth beneath his boot! So, what did they do? They used trickery and foul xenos tech to lull you to sleep, to catch us off guard. You did not fail, for what could you have done? We had no way of knowing foul Xenos were awaiting us in these forest, and nothing could have prepared you for your first encounter with them.

I remember my first battle against Xenos. I watched men tremble and quake in fear as I attempted to rally the line. I watched brave and noble men succumb to terror and flee! But you, my brother, did not flee. You did not give in! Using that combead may have given you the briefest of hints that something was wrong, and you did not turn away, but rose to the challenge! When the Xenos attacked, did you quake and tremble? NO! You stood your ground, mastered your fear, and even saved my life Jermaie. No, there is no failure here. You rose above and beyond what most men would have done in this situation, and I would in fact commend you. Your quickness to act not only saved my life, it could have perhaps even saved the Squads. I am proud, my friend, to call you Brother. Now take up your arms, Warrior of the Emperor! You have done no wrong this day. We will mourn for our fallen when the mission is done, but for now their is Righteous Anger and Wrathful Justice to be visited upon the Enemies of Him on Earth, who now may be trafficking with the Foul Xenos! Take your grief, and turn it into a Blade of Hatred, and let us together, you and I, wield it against those who would dare to stand against Brothers in the Emperor's Name!

Is it possible to do anything about my leg in this situation?

Sorry about the delay, computer was down.

As the squad continues, Garion attempts to rest whilst conversing in hushed tones with Wikavya regarding the Xenos they just saw. Though the man seems to know much, perhaps even too much, Garion does not mention it, merely consulting and combining their info to attempt to gather what facts they can regarding this unknown enemy.

2 Degrees of Success.

GM, any check I can make on the Dark Eldar?

Groggily coming too, Garion suddenly snaps awake, straining to reach for his weapons but overcome by the pain. Lying back, he lets out a long, rasping cough, before settling down, breath coming in sharp short gasp.

Calming, and seeing that his squad is safe, he begins to take in his surroundings.

Comrades...where...where are we now? What happened to the foul Xenos abominations?

He tries to sit up, but falls back painfully as he coughs up some blood.

By the Emperor, those thrice damned Xenos and their foul weaponry! I will personally condemn their damned souls straight to the hell that is the Warp as I shatter their souls with the fire of my faith!!!

Again, managing to calm himself, Garion leans back and finally relaxes, looking over at Jermaie and Wikayva.

Guardsmen, I appreciate you getting me out of there. Not everyone would have maintained the composure and sound mind to stick together as a squad, but we came through the crucible of fire through our bonds as warriors, and shared faith in the Emperor. What is the plan now? Do we have any idea what direction we are traveling? And Baldur, do you have a course of action in mind? I would recommend we tend to our wounds, gather what supplies we still have, and refocus on the mission at hand. Taking down the heretical Dominate General!

I dont know...have you seen the dumb things broken Garion has been doing? He is currently the dying posterboy for suicidal fools...errr I mean valiant heros.

I do not believe I had used mine, as I was considering healing with it but never did. Regardless, Garion fails all rolls and has to burn it to survive.

1d100 ⇒ 53

Heroic demeanor reroll from taking a risk to cover Cort?

1d100 ⇒ 87

Sigh...fate point reroll?

1d100 ⇒ 44

Sigh...Garion slumps over, horrendously wounded from covering Cort.

Burning Fate Point

1d100 ⇒ 91
1d10 ⇒ 8

Heroic though his action was, it was foolish nonetheless, and Garion collapses upon the ground, seemingly dead.

Should be at -12, so I believe im dead. Will burn my only fate point if I have too. Part of me wonders if I should just die and make something more survivable or combat savvy. Ill continue for now.

Looking back, Garion quickly takes in the tactical predicament Cort is. His scholars would have taught him to back down, that his wounds were to great to intervene. But, his faith in the Emperor tells him The Emperor Protects, and he cannot leave a man behind.

Raising his Bolt Pistol with a prayer on his lips, he sends one last volley of suppressing fire at the Xenos harassing Cort. He then leans forward, an arm outstretched towards Cort.

The Emperor Protects, Cort! Xenos filth such as this shall not bring you down! Shake them off like the vermin they are, and take my hand!

1d100 ⇒ 37

With the heavy stubber opening up, Garion chooses to conserve his ammo, and concentrates on staying alive!

Reload as a Half, then Guarded Action.

Fair enough GM, no complaints from me! After all, maybe ill roll a 1.

1d100 ⇒ 30

No hit on Suppressing Fire.

Finest agility I have ever seen huh? Cough cough flying agile Dark Eldar on hovering skateboards flipping through the air...

Garion's faith in the Emperor, and in Imperium issued Flak Armor, allows him to take the shot, which luckily does not penetrate.

Having recovered, Garion aims another volley of suppressing fire at the Xenos firing upon the stretcher team!

GM, can I use my previous roll? It doesnt matter because I dont hit, but still.

When the rest of you are dead or corrupted, but I make it back, I will make sure to include how brave and expenda...cough cough I mean HEROIC! How heroic each of you was as I bravely faced down 100...no 300 XENOS, Bolt Pistol running dry and my Chain Sword clogged with the gore of my foes, and in the end I show my compassion and loyalty to my lost squad as I grieve over your fallen executed...I mean martyred, bodies!

This has been an excerpt from the Memoirs of Garion Valkof, the Little Commissar who Could.

Guarded Action is a Half Action, take -10 to WS and BS, gain +10 to any Evasion Test this round. Garion breaks pinning and takes the Guarded Action.

Not that one...there is another one thats a half action. Ill look it up when I get home.

Garion will just break pinning and use Guarded Action I believe its called. Aka the fighting defensively one.

Kill the Xenos!

Shouts Garion as he runs for cover...

Assuming you can shoot while pinned...

Garion grits his teeth, glaring through the rain of projectiles at the flying xenos. Shouting defiantly, he unleashes another round of suppressing fire from his Bolt Pistol.

ROF for Pistol is S/2/-/ am I correct that suppressing fire uses 2 rounds? If so, after this volley my clip will have 2 left.

Suppressing Fire: 1d100 ⇒ 6

Im in the negatives with my penalties, cannot remember what the min to hit is. If that does in fact do damage...

2d10 ⇒ (1, 8) = 98+5=13

If Garion cannot fire whilst pinned, he attempts to break pinning.

Crawl! Get the frak out!

Nerves of Steel reroll

1d100 ⇒ 92

In his weakened state Garion has no choice but to hunker down and endure the volley of fire as best he can.

Kinda. Im in Eastern Standard, in the States. Im always curious about the difference in times and such.

Willpower 35+10=45: 1d100 ⇒ 35

Though saddened by the loss of one of his squadmates and fellow warriors of the Emperor, Garion steels his heart and focuses on his training.

Only in Death does Duty end.

With that somber phrase, Garion focuses again upon the battle.

Crap, sorry, did not realize I was up!

Garion again attempts to suppress the enemy in the woods!

1d100 ⇒ 88

Shouting out a prayer to the Emperor, bolts again fly through the foliage!

Well, in a sense. They are actually something far far worse.

Flashman?

I cant reccomend Ciaphas Cain enough!!!

I meant rules for Semi Auto. However you explained it already.

As Wikavya and Jermaie dash forward, Garion attempts to lay down Suppressing Fire in the direction of the shapes moving through the forest!

BS29-50=-31: 1d100 ⇒ 67

Though he has no hope of hitting anything, Garion sends Bolt rounds flying through the woods, shredding foliage and trees as the rounds explode upon impact!

Thats my turn. Will look up how much ammo I used tonight.

Ok, ill check up the stats for my Bolt Pistol and Supressing Fire when I get home tonight.

Ahh ok, thanks GM. I need to use my lasgun for supressing fire, right?

Garion scans the woods, searching for targets as he prepares to face the unknown.

Not at books, not sure what it is called, but im taking the Full Defense action, whatever its calles

Just a bit. And really good too! I cant encourage them enough! The Horus Heresy series is an amazing read for any fans of 40K.

You have no idea.... go read some of the novels.

Assuming we begin moving towards Baldur, will Garion have any targets to shoot at or attempt suppressing fire? Are there actually visible targets in the woods?

Waiting on the people carrying me, to see what happens.

Hehe gotta love the Dark Eldar...

GM, assuming the 2nd action I post is the one that happens, would you be willing to accept that I did in fact get a 45. I realize you have no reason to believe me there, but I figured it cant hurt to ask. Also...damnit Paizo forums! The speeches in my first post were so much more heroic!

Damnit, Paizo forums ate my post!!! Essentially, I am posting two actions, pending what everyone else chooses to do.

Hmm, fair point. I will post two courses of Action, pending whatever the rest of the group chooses to do.

Quickly, everyone move! Get to the treeline and head for Baldur! Fallback by Squads and cover each before the Xenos come back!

Will post Garions move in a bit, need to look at the map and figure out which direction Baldur is, and what defensive actions I can take and still move.
