Wytchs and servitors engage in a brutal melee. Machine screams mingle with more human screams. You cannot tell which side is winning until blasts of dark energy cut through the remaining servitors.

Then the ground below you cracks and shakes. Explosions rock all along the defence structures. Anyone with knowledge of imperial guard equipment recognizes Medusea shells striking the defences.

"Fall back!" Nas bellows looking to anyone who seems to have frozen up, if they aren't moving he'll tackle them and try and move them out of the artillery bombardment dispersal area.

Kuros follows orders. He is very good at running away!

Val, despite being consumed with fury while in a battle frenzy, recognizes the danger posed by the bombardment. Perhaps some semblance of logic and self preservation will prevail...?
OOC:
Under these bombardment circumstances, is Val allowed to end his frenzy and withdraw from combat? Or must he continue doing battle with his current target?
May 30, 2018 2:12 am
OOC:
Or does Nas tackle Val?

Vu scowls as she begins to withdraw.
May 30, 2018 12:18 pm
Nas pivots noticing Val's inability it seems to decide to press through the bombardment and continue fighting or withdraw.

Well if it works on ogryns.... Nas thinks attempting to latch onto Val and pivot him.

"What is that? They attempt to flank us from the rear in the confusion, I'll cover you, 250 meters at our five, go crush their skulls as they cowardly sneak and crawl along the ground." Nas barks out his eyes wild pointing away form the bombardment in a direction where the ground is uneven and scowling.
OOC:
Unsure if this is a roll for bull shitting.
May 30, 2018 3:01 pm
OOC:
Where are you trying to fall back to?

I think there's a bluff skill but otherwise you can choose an appropriate fellowship skill to role.
May 30, 2018 3:05 pm
OOC:
Mostly out of immediate skyfall death I figure to reaccess what we'll do.

Well I guess I'm poking the bull unless I can use Military Secret Tongue. Fel tests at -5 with voidborn, rogue traders, and voidfarer if they are not personal friend or heard/ know your background/reputation (41-5/2) or 18 to 20 I think depending on if Val falls into one of those three.
May 30, 2018 4:16 pm
OOC:
Your choices of places to retreat to are: Back to your ship, into the Dark Eldar base, or around the side of them base which is a series of dark covered archways/caves.
May 30, 2018 4:17 pm
OOC:
It's up to Val to decide his relationship with you.
May 30, 2018 4:21 pm
OOC:
Val wouldn't fall into any of those categories. So I think just use a command roll to snap Val out of his frenzy.
May 30, 2018 4:50 pm
OOC:
I just need him to not stand in the fire...
Nas continues to bark orders at Val like he was a shell shocked troop on a heavy crew weapon.

"Get yer head in de game!" Nas yells into Val's face spittle flying as he barks out commands in a guttural tone.

Rolls

Secret Tongue (Military) 35 - (1d100)

(35) = 35

OOC:
Not sure if the military tongue is relevant since Val doesn't speak it and we'd probably need a command roll instead. What is Nas' command skill?
May 30, 2018 5:57 pm
OOC:
Don't have command, I have intimidate Xq...
May 30, 2018 6:37 pm
OOC:
Command is a basic skill, so can be rolled untrained at half your fellowship score. But feel free to go with intimidate if overratedplayer allows it!
Jun 1, 2018 7:17 am
OOC:
Intimidate would work but if you fail by enough Val may turn on you. :)
Jun 1, 2018 9:26 am
Val to me! I need your help and a strong guard!

Rolls

Command (60) - (1d100)

(21) = 21

Val snaps out of his battle frenzy haze, logical thinking reasserting itself. Seeing the threat of bombardment for what it is, Val withdraws from combat to accompany his Rogue Captain.
Jun 1, 2018 2:54 pm
Nas quickly follows Val since he has his sense back about him.
