Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgotten

Mar 20, 2018 7:05 am

With Cyrek manning the Dark Lance Battery, you mentally hit the thrusters and blast away. In all the vehicles Kuros has flown, at top speed, this is possibly the fastest one. The trip will take exactly 43.26 minutes Kuros mentally notes. As the journey draws to an end you notice the speeding forms of Raider Transports, Reaver Jetbikes, Venom Transports, Scourges, razerwing flocks and several types of fighter jets below and above you.

The outer defenses of the hive have already been breach when you arrive. Kabalite warriors are chasing the terrified populous through the streets. The screams of the dying merging with the screams of Voidraven Bomber engines. You receive and comms message. "This is Alyss, if you are who you say you are I am glad your here. We need support at the inner-sections of the hive. Over."

The message has barely ended when Kuros has to roll the fighter as a beam of darkness streaks past.

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

"We are and you should be."Kuros answers on comms. Then Kuros belts out through the speakers, "Give us some covering fire we are headed in!" He soars down into an opening in the immense hive. Nice and easy, the armor will hold, the gunners will make a path, the emperor is with us..." Kuros thinks to himself praying he doesn't need to make a piloting roll cause the odds are not in his favor.

"Sounds like time to drop off the space marines so they can clean up the baddies on the ground while Cyrek and I stay on board to continue taking down the enemy air cover, eh?" says Val.

Val continues musing, "Well, I could head down to the ground as well... but honestly, I probably wouldn't be able to keep up with the marines... and I'm still badly wounded. The smart thing would be to stay on board. Besides, what are the chances of you crashing twice in one day, right Kuros??"

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

Kuros lowers the fighter to about 20 meters off the ground where the Marines repeat the same process as the previous crash site of excessive amounts of cover fire from an inferno charged heavy bolter followed by a guttural howl and an insane charge. Brother-Captain Gregor jumps from the plane. His servo-enhanced limbs keeping his bones from breaking; they do not how ever stop the pavement and bodies he is landing on from doing the same. With a laugh Johansson does the same. Landing with his heavy bolter and braziers burning.

Lifting off again, the warning sirens go off in both Kuros' mind and inside the ship. (Make a piloting roll Aaron to avoid some missiles) At the same moment a stray shot from below punctures through the glass and into Cyrek. He coughs blood "Val I think you might need to take control of this gun."

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

You roll the plane beautifully between the two missiles. It is the best you have ever flown, nothing can touch you. When the wing clips the edge of a spire and the plane spirals out of control, your panic sending flairs in every direction. Wrenching on the mental controls you just manage to avoid nose diving into the ground there is however and massive jolt as the bottom of the plane bounces off the pavement.

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

As Val peers down the ramp into the streets he immediately hears a series off scraping, metal on metal sounds as a hail of splinter rifle fire hits the ship. Braving another look he sees several black armoured warriors perched behind the cover of what once was houses. Standing in the center of the street a humanoid stands. Clad in crystal white armour, carrying a blade bigger than even Vera.

Kuros delves into the ship, engines operational, weapons operational, Hull undamaged, left wing undamaged and then kuros screams as he can no longer feel his right arm.

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

Completely terrified at this great eldar god Kuros screams in pain as the blade slams into his armor lacerating his arm. "Ummm... I don't have a witty retort to that Val!!" Kuros yells as he runs back to his ship leaving a trail of blood to the hull.

OOC:

A couple of things:
1. Toughness on the arm is 7 armor is AP 4 so that is negated by penetration. So he takes 8 damage. His wound total is 15 so he has 7 left.

2. I forgot that Kuros has Mastery of Small Craft: Re-roll failed pilot test with small craft. That skill makes total sense since otherwise the pilot would fail more than 50 percent of the time... Oops.

3. Does this Eldar have a lair action? How did my 14 miss?! Did he teleport out of the way? Does he have a displacer field?

4. On my next turn what I hope to do is start the ship up again. Perhaps the kind GM will let me reroll my pilot test and if I make it the ship is fly-able? Puhhhh-lease.

5. In D&D there is a disengage action. I will use the 40K equivalent to run away without taking damage. If there is no equivalent he will use the dodge or any other defensive runaway from bad guy mechanic that he can. One more hit like that and he is dead.

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

OOC:

I'm guessing the Eldar dodged Kuros' amazing roll? It really was a good roll...see if you can keep doing that?

Speaking of which, Kuros has the opportunity to also dodge the Eldar's attack. Try rolling your dodge skill. If successful, the attack never hit.

Yup, Rogue Trader also has a disengage action so you can do that on your turn.

Once you take damage beyond your wounds, you start taking critical damage, so you don't die yet. Critical damage is stuff like your arm gets hacked off, which doesn't kill you...but sure hurts a lot!

Val is already at zero wounds and has taken critical damage. So Val is getting close to dying... We'll see.

GM, I believe Val grabbed some drugs from the Eldar complex to be used in his newly installed drug delivery system. Are those drugs available for use now? And if so, what drugs are they? I'm thinking Val might need them to survive this one...

Then Kuros jumps a hard right. The ax slicing into part of the wing of the ship. Kuros scrambles to he feet and runs to get back into the ship. "I don't have a witty retort to that Val. But if you want live get back in the ship. Let's shoot his guy from inside!"

As the creature steps into the ship everyone ducks instinctively as a massive boom comes from the building set diagonally in front of the ship. The wall of said building caves in on itself sending the wall above it crashing down on the Kabalite Warriors in the street below. Val and Kuros see picking themselves up from the rubble a man in carapace armour (Nas), an ogryn, and two masked humans. They immediately look at each other and the man in carapace armour sprints towards the ship without thinking as the other 3 open fire.

The needles go back in once again the pain. Without a moments thought you try and lift off which surprisingly works. You bump off the sides of the hive building. The exit ramp hanging open as the plane takes off causes the three people inside plane, Val, the incubi, and Nas who has just made it onto the ramp as Kuros took over, to lose their balance and go flying across the inside of the plane.

The whip wraps around his head striking the back of his head at the base of his skull. He let's out a surprisingly loud scream of pain.

He leaps at Nas swinging a cleave straight down. It goes slightly wide and noticing this he, with a supreme show of strength well beyond what you imagine his slight frame is capable of producing, reverses the momentum of the blade causing the handle spike to crack into Nas' jaw. (13 damage pen 4)

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

OOC:

Sure thing. Also, are my rolls visible? I think I set them correctly to be not hidden.

For the attack, Val's base WS is 53. Battle rage adds +10. Gang up (since Nas is also in melee with the Incubi) adds +10, and all-out attack adds +20. For a total roll target of 93. The d100 roll was 63 (hopefully it wasn't hidden). Reversing the 63 to a 36 indicates that the body was hit on the hit location table (pg. 244).

For the damage, the power axe base damage is 1d10+7, pen 7. Val's strength is 50 which is boosted to 60 via battle rage. Therefore, Val's strength modifier is 6. Unnatural strength doubles the modifier to 12 which is added to the weapon's base damage. So total damage will be 1d10+7+12. A 2 was rolled so 2+7+12 = 21 damage.

Nas clenches his jaw and tries to move out of the way surprised by the redirect. At least he had successfully pissed someone else off today it seems in that department he was on a roll. Nas stumbled back feeling his head spin a bit from the impact and swears.

What I'd like to do is attempt a feint followed by a standard attack. But as I understand it, being in a battle rage won't allow it because I must always go all out. Also, I previously forgot to add a +5 on my attack for a good craftsmanship axe so will add it this time.

"I won't lie...I enjoy killing my own kind as well. But you...even more!"

Val uses his rippling drug-enhanced muscles to their fullest extent as he swings with reckless abandon!

Edit: If that isn't dodged or parried, it's pen 7 and a hit to the right leg.

The blow caves in his right knee, shattering bone and tearing the tendons. He stands on his one good leg and laughs. "You are better now not forever. Sylvatar will see you in death." His helmet face plate retracts and his mouth opens impossibly wide. His scream blows you back and pins you against the wall. He, will still scream throws a grenade and blows open the bomb bay. In one swift motion he pushes off with one leg and rolls out of the open bomb bay.

Kuros completely disorientated by the scream loses all control of the plane. It drops straight down, hitting several buildings on its way down. It's wing catches on one building and stops while the left side continues to fall. Finally with a metal on metal shriek it settles to a stop, wedged in the street.

For your slanted point of view the street seems to be empty except for a few bodies, both imperial citizens and Dark Eldar killed in your crash.

The man was killed in a crash. He did have a screwed up note in his hand.

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

You step our into the now ruined street. It seems to quiet for a war zone but thinking nothing you carry one. Sanctus Valentina is built in a staggered level system meaning you come into view of the coordinates look down from above. You see a brutal swirling melee as wyches and incubi assault the defenders covered by the fire from Kabalite Warriors. Flying constructs of metal and tourtured flesh rip the defenders from the ground and devour them in a cloud of blood and flesh.

In the centre Brother-captian Gregor slices left and right with his mighty power sword cutting and Wych that dances to close while Brother Johansson fires fist sized explosive slugs down range blowing holes in buildings and warriors alike. Next to them you recognise lady Alyss swinging a sword bathed in blue fire, which looks incredibly familiar to Kuros and Val, whe never the blade strikes flesh the scream of victim is drowed oit by that of a scream frim thin air.

Your cleave the warrior in front of you in half with a mighty roar. Inspired by your actions the fighters around you force the dark eldar to retreat. Once the splinters have stopped flying overhead and defensive positions have been established the two space marines and Lady Alyss approach you. "Mighty swing brother!" Brother Johansson laughs.
"I assume your flight didn't work out as planned?" Brother-Captian Gregor smiles as he points to the plume of smoke.

Throwing a sideways glance at Kuros, Val says, "Yah, shitty backwards Eldar tech. Can't even construct a flight worthy ship. Isn't that right, Kuros? Nevertheless, if we have time, we may want to salvage what we can."

Meanwhile, Val is thinking, 'gorrammit... that ship was the most advanced piece of technology I'd ever seen....'

Turning to Lady Alyss, Val says, "I have two questions. One, how did you come into possession of a demonic sword that looks identical to the sword that probably killed their Adeptus Astartes brother? And more importantly, second..." Val looks towards Kuros for split second, seeking backup, "... second, what do we get for saving your city?"

Re: Chapter 4: The Dead, the Lost, and the Forgott

"Whoa whoa whoa lady! I'm not accusing you of anything! Just curious how you came into possession of a daemonic sword. Not saying that you or your family are daemon worshippers or anything like that. We don't know exactly the blade that killed the space marine but seeing as we were attacked by a daemon wielding an identical sword at the sight of the battle brother's death, we drew some logical conclusions. Don't get me wrong, it's a great sword... but we had to destroy it because it seemed to be the object from which that horrific daemon was drawing its power from. If you and your family can wield it without drawing attention from daemons, hey, more power to ya!

"And yes, I'm hopped up on Eldar drugs... but it's those drugs that helped save your city!

"So sword aside, with no accusations of heresy intended, let's move on to the more important things... recompense in exchange for services rendered?"

Putting on a much more humble face, Val quickly replies, "Forgive my blabbering, Lady Alyss. You're right, the Eldar drugs and the confusion of battle has clouded my thoughts. I've forgotten my place. Certainly, we'll assist with repairs at once. As for your sword, I urge caution, as we truly did come across a daemon wielding one that looked exactly like yours. We would be willing to recount our entire experience regarding that sword and daemon, if you'll allow it. You may find knowledge of our experience useful in dealing with future events."

So we shall repair and refuel it, while also providing you will food and ammunition, then your warrant will be transfered to Rondezuve Ragnar. Now get out of my sight."

To the space marines, we'll hand over their battle brother's gene seed and Val will say, "It has been a privilege to battle alongside... well, to cover your backs. My offer of providing your detachment with technical assistance remains standing,should you desire it."

When we've parted company from the space marines and Lady Alyss, Val will slap Kuros on the back and say, "We're getting transferred with a promotion!"

Looking at Nas, Val says, "We're going places! Whomever this new Lord Captain is, you'll probably have protection from whomever is after you."

'These drugs are amazing! And there seems to be absolutely no side effects!' thinks Val to himself.

With the use of his combitool, Val gets to work studying the as yet un-christened Eldar ship. He takes up all the time he's allowed, studying every bit of it, looking into the wiring, trying to understand the machine spirits, identifying the materials used, the power source, and most interestingly, the pilot interface.

OOC:

If possible, Val will specifically try to learn about how to improve its usability, be it modifications to the wing design, rewiring some of the electronics, reshaping the pilot chair to be more comfortable for humans, appeasing the machine spirits, etc. Anything that could possibly give Kuros bonuses to flying and gunning this ship. Secondary to that, Val will try to generally increase his understanding of Eldar tech, hoping to give him some insight should he ever come across more Eldar tech in the future.

Once done, regardless of what forbidden xeno knowledge Val may or may not have gleaned, Val will say to Kuros, "This craft is absolutely amazing. I have never seen anything that comes even close in comparison!"

Val looks at the note in Nas' hand. "I suppose that's the location of the fallen Knight. Perhaps we should inform our new Lord Captain about it and mount a salvage operation.... Perhaps the Omnissiah will bless Kuros with better luck piloting a ground-based war machine rather than an aerial based one?
