Vaylund tries to gather his focus and summon his powers, but fails miserably. The sounds and energy of this place just too dark for him to pierce with this collar. WP Test:
Damn Xenos collar, I will bathe in the blood of your favored pet...Come and get it! he yells, readying the ancient ax and trying to focus his mind more clearly.
Vaylund maintains his power and cleans his helmet visor. With clearer vision he stands up and searches for his brothers weapon.

Vaylund is barely able to move away in time. He then uses the momentum and weight of the beast against itself, readying the executioner ax he positions it to pierce the creature, trying to keep himself from going under, his strength significantly enhanced from his psy power.

Vaylund easily steps to the side of the beast and at the sight of the fallen Marines Vaylund calls forth strength and fortitude from a festering pool of anger that isn't containable by the xenos collar. Full action fettered : Deus Ex Ferrum WP 50 vs He then grips the executioner ax and readies to strike.
Vaylund attacks with wide swings that are easily dodged, sometimes hitting with the blunt end of the axe if there is too easy an opening. As they fight he attempts to read the aura of his opponent, to see if his soul is tainted. Reading:
If clean:
I have seen into your soul and know you are pure, I will not slay you this day...How long have you been a prisoner here? Have you any allies? Then he would try to alert his brothers to his findings. Not clean: Your soul has been tainted, you are no brother of mine! Then Vaylund would become aggressive and strike to kill.
Dodge: Vaylund easily sidesteps the attack and as he is about to counter he hesitates after hearing Tiamat speak. He decides to yell instead, barely containing the built up anger from combat and incarceration: I am Brother Vaylund of the Iron Hands, if you are brothers we should not fight for the Xenos' pleasure!
Vaylund sees his brothers take off in a blitz towards something. Per 40 +10 +10 vs 4 DOS Seeing the enemies being lowered and at such a distance he relenquishes the warp connection maintaining his power and breaks into a sprint towards the enemy. Run=36m, Sprint talent x2= 72m total. As Vaylund begins his run he slowly passes his brothers and catches up to Knutr in their familiar race to the enemy before bypassing him in a blaze of speed that isn't humanly possible.
Forgot how many familiar faces there were in this game. I had the last IC post, reminding me I'm a librarian, but then I remembered I'm an Iron Hand, so should still be fun. Ready for whatever you throw at us Bayou.
Confident one of his brothers will take care of the remaining Eldar, Vaylund summons his Will to cover and protect the team once more in a whirlwind of dust and psy energy. Focus Test: . Hold formation, we do not know what comes next.
Understood GM. Gonna wait for Cato and Vorenthar to act with their higher initiative before posting.
The xenos are too fast for Vaylund and bypass him before he could unleash his flames. With his axe at the ready, he takes a swing at one with an all out attack, at any one yet untouched by his brothers. WS 50,All out +20, Master craft weapon +10 (80) vs Pen 6 Felling (1)
So I'm assuming b/c of my lower initiative, that the Eldar are already engaged with us and I can't use my flame attack while they are incoming as planned. Now that they're upon us are any within melee range of me?
Vaylund doesn't circle, letting the storm lighten, inviting the xenos to come closer, fooling them into thinking the window of opportunity would be now. He tries to redirect his focus inward but fails to reach the connection necessary. Focus test WP 50+5 vs Damn this collar, I will strangle the life slowly out of the xenos that bound me.
As the enemy closes in and the squad tightens the formation Vaylund breaks file and runs in circles to create more of a storm to shield his brothers. His psy abilities limited, the range of the storm can't protect them all while he's stationary, Vaylund concentrates to maintain his storm and time the enemies rush.
Keeping an eye on the enemy, Vaylund prepares himself to unleash a holy fire once they are within range.
The storm will pass when they are within range, I will then bathe them in fire first. Aim for their boards and scavenge what weapons you can. No shame in slaughtering them with their own cursed devices. We shall not die this day. By any means necessary, we FIGHT! he yells, revealing more emotion than usual in his voice and a surprising disposition towards xenotech. He grips his axe in two hands and readies himself mentally, focusing his anger and blood last, trying to position himself in front towards them, The storm might make it more difficult to see and hit us, forcing them closer, rotate to keep me between them and us for as long as possible. Lastly as he sees his brothers scramble and search he offers up his own weapon to any brother without. If you do not find a weapon, take my axe, I will not be defenseless.
Everyone saw Vaylund hurl a wave of fire I'm round 1, but limited range like flame thrower
Oath of Astartes the seems fitting
initiative Vaylund finds a large relic in the sand and pauses momentarily to thank his father and the Ommnisiah for such a fine weapon. Noticing his brothers searching he tries to call upon the energy to summon a force that he's only practiced and yet to master. He knew his brothers could survive the onslaught and believed the small storm could help uncover weapons by stirring the sand. WP 50 + 5PR bonus vs :
A small tornado forms around Vaylund kicking up dust and small debris, though it was an invisible force that would be dangerous to his foes. Vaylund attempts to move around near his brothers hoping to turn up something useful. Look for what you can in my wake. Vaylund yells to his brothers.
Besides the verbal response to his brothers call, but Vaylund remained silent. He felt the ancient shoulder plate and the ridges of the scar, he would avenge the fallen today. He searches the ground for the largest melee weapon he can find, and wanting power over grace. If he came across a ranged weapon he would pick it up too. Search basic: Per 40 +10 Auto senses, but +10 heightened senses vs Use FP +1 DOS
Posted xp earlier, but Paizo ate it. Punish the weak 1000 xp
Bring Death from afar, but fitting for an iron hand I suppose.
Well, all (or most) Marines have vision enhancements even without power armour. Marines have enhanced, don't know if that'd be unnatural or not... Maybe more a mutation like sonar senses or something, or could be what marines have, hadn't considered that. Preysense sight maybe or something on a weapon/mechanical instruments maybe..
Thanks for the interpretation. , very reasonable. How about the vision questions for those inside and out?
I'll vote Feliks for his bravery and relentless assault.
Vaylund gets up and is later to the party than he'd like. The xenos at center stage becomes his soul purpose and his hate never greater than now. He moves slowly forward as his thoughts narrow on the Ork. He channels his anger and feeds upon it as his body is transformed into an instrument forged in the warp and wielded by the Emperor himself. Fettered Focus test
There is no time after Vaylund finishes the remaining warrior. The walls began to shift and Vaylund felt a pull on his weapons and himself. He tightened his grip and was able to retain the power maul in his bionic arm, but his bionic hand on the left did not contain the strength of the other and his grip loosened enough to lose control over it. ST (40)+10 Bionic Arm Test 1 (Power Maul)
Keeping his weapons seemed to distract Vaylund as he is unable to maintain his composure against the invisible forces pulling him back.
Outraged by his own fleshes weakness, he curses his body and finds again that anger he met alone in his cell boiling inside him as he falls and is pulled back towards the walls silently.
Vaylund takes another moment to aim and lead his shot, aiming at the chrono warriors largest area.
BS 45 + 30 vs
Dmg: Pen 4
Vaylund can't strike precisely enough with his power maul, but being an Iron Hand meant he could shoot just as well as he could swing. He draws his bolt pistol and carefully aims it at point blank range into the frenzied combat, trying to stay near enough to Cato to affect him with his sustained psy power.
I apologize. You're right, I have been rather snide with you. I was frustrated with you missing a few of my posts or ignoring them completely until I reminded you. The mistakes (either ones I perceive or actually were) seemed to single me out and so I've responded like so because I'm not sure if somethings you've done have been an accident or intentional. I stopped giving you the benefit of the doubt and took it personal. Should have PMd you earlier. Let's try to move on and be diligent in reading each other's posts and being respectable in discussion. Thanks for GMing, Vaylund only exists at a your mercy ;)
Yea, I could engulf them both in flames, that's the only ranged ability I have. Can I shoot into combat as per my previous question with a normal - 20 for shooting into melee?
My apologies, guess I read your post poorly and once again tried to do something that's impossible. Let me know when I can do something besides watch. Maybe I can aim and make a called shot into melee combat... Making things difficult to roll and just saying stuff is impossible is different, try to make that clearer for me if possible.
How did I miss my last attack..? Is there some other unknown penalty for our/my attacks that that I didn't include? I rolled a 54 on a 55 after all the bonuses and penalties you listed.
Power Maul
Initiative By the time Vaylund sees the chrono warrior it's too late, but he's quick to react and either attacks with melee if in range or moves closer to attack. Finally you show yourself coward! he screams, more than eager to vent his rage.
WS 45+10 Solo +10 tactics - 10 space penalty with maul? Vs
Vaylund's call seems answered and he smiles while turning to see himself caught with Cato. He readies his maul in one hand and sawed off laser in the other. This leg is once again a burden, I look forward to replacing it when we escape. he says, once again finding himself with the priest and a wounded leg. When he moves closer to Cato, within a meter, he says If you remain close, you will survive longer Moving close enough to let him feel the residual energy flow into his body, enhancing every fiber. He then looks around and chooses a random direction and moves ahead while keeping an eye out for enemies and the environment. He moves slowly enough to maintain the focus necessary to sustain his active psy power. Awareness 50 vs
You aren't the only one and its preventing me from doing anything and screwing with every action, even the GM put me somewhere other than where I posted, so... Like I said I'll just wait, enemies seem scared of me and avoid /run past me... Maybe Vaylund should be insulted, not scary looking or big enough.
Vaylund stands in amazement at the enemies burning around him, once again spared the flames of an overwatch from his brothers. He waits eagerly, as in their last fight, for a worthy opponent to combat.
As the Chrono warriors come closer, Vaylund had intended to take his well aimed shot at the closest Chrono to him, hoping he could make it quick and rejoin his brothers in the middle, but the speed of the warrior was too quick, and Vaylund knew this would only end one way. Dropping his las-gun he draws his power maul and finds that spark he found in his chambers alone.

While just a fraction of the connection is made, its enough to vitalize Vaylund after his wounds and prepare him for what is to come. Not entirely sure how affected by the power he would be, he had rarely seen it used among other Librarians in his chapter, he welcomed the energy and let the anger empower him physically. As it flowed through his veins and bionics, Vaylund's strength grew, somehow augmented by his own bionics, further invigorating him more.
I am glad the walls did not kill you! I shall be the last thing you see! he roars as he readies himself, waiting til the last moment to flicker to life the power blade, perhaps catching his enemy unaware.
Vaylund takes a hit, it hurts but it doesn't slow him down. After experiencing the speed and dangerousness of the walls he stops and draws his Pistol to aim at the second one from right, hopefully not catching the attention of the warrior closest to him.
No chance to dodge for anyone? If not, making something like that clear through your narrative would have changed our approach for sure... Could've waited and let them kill themselves or wear themselves down and leaving us to pick them off with ranged weapons. Are the walls faster than us? Should be the same danger walking if its random, if we can see where they come up then it's a simple matter of avoiding them, hindering our speed,
Vaylund sees his brothers moving up and flanking left so he breaks into a sprint towards the right flank, moving to position the wall of the coliseum to his back and and possibly catch a chrono warrior off guard in a rear flank. Iron Hands are known for rushing towards their foe, often sacrificing reaction time. Vaylund pushed forward despite his brothers hold up. Dangerous bait they'll be he thinks to himself as his bionic leg carries him forward with ease. 65m run with sprint talent.
Vaylund breaks into a full run with ease and then slows to let the wolf catch up with him. As he runs he's careful to avoid the dangerous perils of the coliseum as best he can.
Vaylund tries to make some sense of the moving pieces in the room, but his anger is blinding him, a rage slowly growing as he see's the chrono warriors.
While slightly confused about the moving parts, the warriors would no doubt suffer the same disadvantage. Perhaps he could use them to his advantage in close quarter combat. While he burned to close the gap between the enemy, the words of a brother marine caught his ear, the mention of his lost Primarch touched a chord and he threw a glaring look at his brother. However it was only momentarily as the rage passed over and he saw the clarity of teamwork and brotherhood once again. Initiative: At the wolves beckoning he yearned to join the hunt and would charge forward with them. Try to keep up he says looking to them tauntingly.

As Vayland recovers in his cell and his hatred fumed further by these menacing games, he couldn't wait for the next round to begin. Something primal was burning at his soul and in an instance something within fused and surged throughout his mechanical flesh. He felt more power and strength than he had ever known. I could easily break free but he knew it to be instantly foolish with no plan. I can not leave my brothers here. While his chapter brothers would be quick to decide them too weak, Vaylund had come to learn the benefits of team work, and if he wanted to live long enough to exact his revenge, he would need allies. The fire within tempered his will and he resolved to contain his anger until the target was deserving.
As they are finally able to ascend and free of the pressures of combat Vaylund tries best to peer into the souls of those over seeing these games. He remains silent and a bit distant as he focuses his will on reading the auras of anyone significant within range.

At first Vaylund is unsure what his brothers are doing and why they have slowed. While unaware of all the beast has done to slow his brothers he does notice something peculiar with the Techmarine and a canister of promethium.
Watching the canister fall towards the beast Vaylund silently praises the minds who so closely follow the Ommnissiah. Being further ahead he urges his brothers to hurry with hand motions, as he draws his bolt pistol and takes aim, waiting for the right moment to ignite the canister.
