WarHams - Narrative Declaration

Golden doors open to Hallelujah. A chaos spawn fused to the captain's throne reads their souls aloud and nearly kills the crew before Pi Brain's overcharged plasma gun blows it apart -- but the warp makes Lorne so swole his bones crack, torpedoes are inbound from the Marengo, and the last thing the camera catches is a crewman's head spinning 180 degrees to whisper: "We boarded."

three two one go excellent sexy all right everybody are you ready for another exciting
episode of warholms no
it's time for another episode of warholms
welcome everybody to another episode of warholms i think this is episode 20 i'd like to thank
everybody for coming back saying hello to us all and i'm excited to continue this epic
dead space like adventure where we're all probably going to die now thurston test please tell us
fuck you get out we're done professionally good luck good night everybody stop making
fun of my channel points i know it's wrong yeah that's right it's all coming together
oh yeah oh yeah yeah okay so we start quality content we start with four glory
are we starting for no no no we don't i'm sorry you start with four ruin my bad
yeah we start with none and everyone else has their wrath die so mr thurston yes please tell
me how you're going to do this
well i i mean i would have nothing dark or dastardly in store in fact where we last left
off the uh our our intrepid band of chuckle fucks made their way into the the carillon's
medicaid facility and managed to get a bit of rest after their encounter with various possessed
crew members everywhere during that they they gathered up some equipment and are
continuing on their way to the stratagem
well bam let's use that poopy hells um we we left last episode with our characters leaving
the uh the medicaid warden making their way towards the strategic access point uh going up
these halls as as a reminder the halls here uh were unaffected by any of the sort of warp fuckery
that has been going on over the ship however you've also noticed along the walls are small
litanies that have been inscribed hymnals and praises to the emperor the state of the ship
becomes worse and worse as less of these litanies show up as the walls become more bare metal you can
see various darkenings of the hull and sections of rust and the smell becomes a bit more almost
acrid in the air as though something acidic is assailing you
your senses as you advance the lights flicker or the lumens flicker on and off and you can see in
this this sort of front area of the vessel there are viewports that look out into the expanse of
space and you see sort of the the light of stars coming in in regular intervals but you you all
feel just something is something is strange as you are walking on there is a sense of unease that
each of you feels as you continue on towards the stratagem
up ahead you can see one of the the door the bulkhead style doors that admit access to different
parts of the ships it is currently closed with one side of it opening about maybe a half a foot
six inches or so before slamming shut you've seen this kind of malfunction before but the sound of
it is what assails your ears as you approach as you hear these sort of servo units grinding in
this as the door is is opening slightly and closing on one side hey stop that i say to the
servos now keep going you're supposed to work well diplomacy has failed gentlemen uh i will attempt
to uh interface here and uh what do you what diplomacy what are you doing the machine spirits
how do you access it you can't just shout at the damn thing you know
works for them who's the tech priest is it me or is it is it dream i believe it is me
i head over to pie brain and i have a wrench and i go here thank you my brain use use the ancient
form that i have learned over the past you know many years of my life otherwise known as the form
of percussive maintenance you have learned the ancient rites i put my hands on his shoulder
i'm squeezing deeply in his decrepit skin i am i meet his gaze proud of you
from the best i i shed a tear as i nod to pie brain and go go go false pie brain yes
all right pie brain will now face the most difficult challenge of his entire life
the servo is on this door i think i'm gonna make a tech check to try to make them not fucked up
okay so like try to figure out what's jamming it and get it yeah yeah yeah through percussive
maintenance he gets a bonus from my inspiration right uh he does he does i will i will in fact
count him as getting one edition
of success automatically oh it's even better than my combi tool all right let's roll
ah six successes and our favorite result a complication absolutely um seven action
yeah so so you you begin sort of looking at the the servo units and trying to figure out what
happened here and as you you two um you you note that you can figure out that something is
jamming the the door and
you're attempting to open the the left side of the door these sort of the left door itself so
it moves open which might block or unblock the jam as you start working something falls and
strikes you with a like large impact on the back of your head from up in the sort of uh sealed area
above the the doorway um and and the rest of the party you all see this this object appears to have
a a strange texture to it it looks almost it looks almost like a black a black cone that falls
hits uh pie on the back of the head and then starts rolling uh pie you stumble back from this
you also uh take one point of shock as you stumble back sudden impact of this and this
this object sort of rolls away and you can see as the doors open um
that there there's like a smearing of dark liquid on it as though uh something long dried but but
you're you have enough experience now you can tell that that's some kind of blood uh all right
i will examine this large cone for a moment out of curiosity yeah so so you you step up to it and
what you see is uh what appears to be a a black uh cone that is in the middle of the door and it's
in the shape of a helmet uh the face of which isn't colored black it's actually colored uh more
of a yellowish purple color with gemstone eyes that stare out at you how evil does it look
uh it it it doesn't look like something human would like humans would manufacture
oh which means it's probably evil
why do you see pie brian well we have a weird helmet with cone head gemstones at the here
everyone take a look at this is there a head inside uh are you looking in there yeah i'm gonna
just try to yank out anything that's in uh yeah sure um i want you to
hmm
uh let's see here
yeah yeah you know what that that's fair you can like i i assume you're just like reaching in and
no yeah it's like it's like a kid trying to get halloween from like they're like uh uh
give me a resolve test it's like it's upside down just all halloween all hallows eve sure
let's roll it it's five successes yeah you have like no problem reaching in and pulling in this
like shriveled
sophisticated head with stringed hair that comes down in like like almost like a broken doll like
clumps of it fall off and onto the floor and wisp in the air a bit um but you've definitely uh ripped
out a xenos head from this oh and i give it to him all right i'm going to hold the head what is
the head do i need to do a damn test on this uh you can certainly give me a
medicay or a uh scholar uh test to identify the head begs the question may i use my
diagnostre to determine cause of death of this head uh yes yes you may all right
is
all right is it fresh i think you need a days to tell
you how that Ps.i. head got there it's it seems as
it seems as if it was cut off people die when that happens
seven in the glory so what the hell is this head it is very important so the seven in the glory to what the hell is this head it is very important all right so so the
seven in the glory so what the hell is this head it is very important all right so so the
it is very important all right so so the
it is very important all right so so the
the ripped off or cut off uh so it's it's um okay a few things one this is the head of of the xenos
known as the eldari uh particularly uh it like seems to match the the the uh piratical sort of
faction uh not not to the drukari you had previously encountered this is a a far less
aggressive uh sect though they are they are still certainly a plague on imperial worlds
however your medicaid check while you identify that um the cause of death seems to be that the
head itself popped off from pressure uh and looking around past the door that is now open
you can see like bits and bobs of armor plates that have like flown around some even embedded
in the walls it appears this unfortunate fellow was probably in the doorway when it closed and
the pressure caused their head to pop off and enter into the sort of ceiling unit jamming the
doorway
mm-hmm
rogue traders one hell of a party trick i'd suppose i hate it when that happens i will take
the helmet with me no you won't well no i need to destroy it i explicitly stop him from taking
any artifacts of the xenos no matter what he does yeah put it in the sack come on it's just a little
helmet i add it to i add the head and the helmet to my inventory
any artifacts of the xenos that path as well now that's not easy you may be 역hearted
backpack okay are you putting i assume you're putting like the head back into that helmet
yeah yeah it's sort of safe keeping you know i will put it i will put it stump side you know in
towards the top of the helmet that way only the you know the skull is poking out of the bottom
hey we have to keep this fresh i put tin foil over the opening part
yeahあと nig at the time
приготов 1
to listen n
e
a
canmbra
done so yeah there is aolu
do the more stuff that needs to be put into here i dont see how you doing on maintenance do enjoy the rest of the show
got straight crap too just wrap it around there put some tape over there for later uh so is the
door open now yeah yeah oh yeah it it seems to uh to carry on though on the other side you can see
that this section of the of the corridor that carries on towards that like you you check the
maps uh this section is bereft of any of the ecclesiarchal uh text on the walls and as such
it seems to have just this this foul rusted appearance everywhere and even as you step
past the open doorway there's like a warm rush over you is the other part of the body on the
other side of the door oh just like fragments of it just fragments of armor nothing of the body
oh you you can get some of those pie just scoop them up just go
i'm gonna try to make sure i'm gonna get it before reed gets
past my brain a little kid's plastic like i was holding your top when we were making sandcastles
before just left in my pockets and i hand him like a a very blue shovel and uh the very green
broom and like here you go pat brain go get the bitch okay okay thank you and here's a button i
do i do an investigation to get an idea of why this eldar exploded yeah i mean like your medicaid
was enough to tell you like he was in the doorway when oh just the doorway was the
reason he exploded yeah yeah yeah like he was in the doorway and that thing immediately went
shut when he was in there oh it's a well he was trying to run towards the direction you're heading
it is a well-known fact and i'm very surprised that you didn't know this reeb that even the most
vile of xeno species are no match for the ecclesiarchy's famed and feared doryers
reeb will pause for a moment staring blankly forward zedek you realize that we are no match
for the ecclesiarch's doors
which is why we are on their side and they won't hurt us isn't that right and zedek will just pat
the door the door does not respond let's move on yeah that door's dead zedek i say shoveling
shoveling uh corsair gubbins into this bucket yeah you get like a few pieces of their strange
uh material armor that they wear any gemstones anything like that no no you do not find this
in your individual soul and i am not giving you possession of someone's soul you fucking know why
i am the shepherd of the way okay that will haunt my goddamn dreams uh yeah you you carry on
i am the way that's chaos pie he becomes like hellraiser chaos pie oh good
uh conveniently he has less blood on him now that he's turned to chaos
yeah it's like it's like actually it's all in all an improvement you're the clean chaos faction
back with soap
you make your way through the the adjacent corridor again noting the sort of detritus and
the poor quality here before there is another door which opens automatically at at um your
approach as the door opens you are once again assailed by just this awful smell uh where you
can see that there is a room that you can see up ahead like not not like the room previously that
you had walked through with corpses but a larger rectangular chamber with sort of dull lumens some
of which are flickering up above you get the sense that this was some sort of barracks uh
or billings area where some of the the crew's shift workers would stay and you can see that
all of the like the bedding has been upturned and there is a small room where you can see that
a small pile of probably if you had to guess anywhere from 8 to 12 corpses uh with the sort
of telltale garb of the ship's arms men uh torn asunder ripped apart and sprayed about uh the the
western side of the room there is a continuing doorway at the opposite end here that you know
connects to the prime arterial corridor that leads to the strategium
Captain Zedekal
throw his arms out and just say wait a second my peril sense is tingling something tells me
we're going to meet more friends in the coming minutes
no kidding captain yeah i think there might be some like crazy goblins or something here
maybe we'll have to prepare goblins aside may i uh seek to continue my passive tactic of burning
corpses absolutely are you going to take any kind of investigation
of the area or are you just like walking in and burning well is there is there anything
particularly out of order here i mean because i would just assume it's another like people lived
here oh hold on we've been losing a lot of ammo maybe those arms men died with some spare clips
oh good idea yeah can i check them for flamer ammo yeah absolutely would you like to uh
let's see here you know give me an investigate check that that seems to be a question question
uh can i do an investigate for everyone's ammunition yeah yeah i'll uh i'll i will allow
this fellas may i pull three glory of course
six it i don't think it's counting my uh the three i added to that
no it's not that's annoying it doesn't seem to do that for me uh
d6 the fallacies of all 20.
that'll be another once it'll be a seven will that be enough to find ammo for everyone or shall i
wrap it um with a seven i'd allow you to find one type of ammo okay i'm gonna wrap it okay
uh i need to re-roll two more dice yeah
that gives me an eight i'll allow you to find two types of ammo one one unit each okay who's short
i know
zedek is i think i'm not um so i don't have to worry about my pasmagon all right i resupply
lauren's uh brain i find uh jamba just just caught your staff again i'm sure another shell will pop
out hey there's one here you go i think i think because pi is still gonna be and especially now
with the eviscerator is gonna be very close range i'm just gonna find ammo for me and
uh absolutely yeah so you can find like one effective rounds worth for the the arch pistol uh
It looks like, though it's not an ARC pistol-style ammo,
it's something that can easily be used as a substitute as a power pack.
You find that on a crew member who seems to have had half of their body ripped off
and has the sort of name patch of Arno written on it.
Arnold.
Arnold.
Arnold.
And I do find a flamer.
I find a reload for my flamer, right?
Yes.
And that's a reload, not one bullet, right?
That's correct.
As you said, one round, and I'm like, hang on a second.
Sorry, one ammo's worth.
You have one second of flame.
Use it wisely.
Along with that, I'll also let you know,
it looks like the bodies here were in some kind of last stand
where the door up ahead, they had built some barricades
to try to block.
They didn't take themselves off and have firing lines.
They didn't care about behind them, but up ahead, definitely.
Well, good thing we have to go that way, right, guys?
Uh-huh.
Look at Reed.
Yeah.
Totally.
How fortunate.
Well, if you don't mind, gentlemen, you can go on up ahead.
I don't believe there's anything else of note here.
I see, questioningly, looking at the GM.
Nothing that you're seeing.
All right.
So, if everyone has any issues, I'd like us to move on,
and also, I'd like to set fire to the barracks.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, everyone kind of, like, makes their way towards the exit door.
You turn around.
You take a blast with your flamer.
Make a ballistic skill check, just because it would be very amusing
if you ran out of ammo on this.
Hey, listen, I'm content with doing that.
I know.
It's an even trade.
You don't even have to.
You should.
And, yeah, you sort of light it up,
and then turn back and make your way onwards.
This leads you to a much larger arterial hall.
In fact, you realize, through all of this,
you've essentially reconnected back to the primary arterial hall of the ship,
the one that you started in before you sort of, like, ran off the path,
went to the sub-spinal.
This was, and, in fact, you see it as you emerge here,
you can see the primary tram unit,
the one you couldn't call on the main level from our first episode in this arc,
that is sitting there, nestled in the cradle at the end of the line.
A set of stairs lead up towards a sort of raised hall
that connects into the strategium.
So that's where the lazy bum's been the whole time.
At least we have our method of eagerness.
Instead of going through the burning barrack fun time again.
Yes, on that note, can we make sure this functions first
before we live it as our last, you know, ditch of it to get out of here?
That is a good point.
I'm going to try and just check and see if this is even active.
Yeah, you can, you walk in there.
You can give me a tech check as you sort of go in
and take a look at the maglev unit here.
Sure.
That's six on the glory.
Absolutely.
So two things happen.
One.
We're able to tell that this maglev unit is perfectly functional and working.
However, the train, like rail system here, doesn't have power.
Which you previously identified was the issue.
The sub spinal one did,
which is how you were able to utilize that for transport.
The power seems to have been cut off at the source.
So someone in the strategium turned it off.
So this train works perfectly fine.
If you can reactivate the power for it,
from, from the strategium.
Yes, it seems as though that's our key out.
Once we set this place to explode, we should do that thing.
The second thing that you note of import here is that there is another data log
that appears to have been hastily placed onto the cogitator unit of this.
Okay.
Well, why don't we take a listen?
Time to hear what happened to church again.
This is church.
The strategium is fucked.
I don't know what went on in there,
but I'm not sticking around in case whatever did it comes back.
I haven't seen anyone else alive,
but I think there's a shuttle left in the docking bay.
I'm going to take it.
Get the fuck off this ship.
Can't fucking believe this happened so damn close to my retirement.
Anyways,
I hope the emperor really does protect.
It's always right before retirement.
These things happen.
Yeah, she sounds pretty young for retirement.
So when do you guys retire?
No, I'm going to say retirement age is like 16.
Oh,
Sadiq just laughs at him and just stares very grimly off into space.
Retirement is for the weak.
That's what I'm saying, but I wasn't going to, I wasn't going to say it like,
cause somebody, okay, let's go.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Yeah, so are you going to make your way up to the strategic?
Yeah.
So you head on towards the stables as you do, you can see that there's a strip of lumens in the hall that connects to them making your way.
Here they depict various scenes of imperial triumph and history, showcasing various forms of the emperor, though all of them seem to be smeared with like dark brownish substances that have like embedded themselves to give the the ancient depiction of the emperor the effect of like crying blood.
Excuse me.
Could I look?
Yeah.
Could I make like a scholar check to see if I know what ecclesiastical sect this is associated with?
Yeah, certainly.
Oh, OK.
Don't laugh at me, Erndil.
I'm doing my best to use the skill I dumped a lot of points to do that I never use.
I know we need you to do that.
I'm doing it.
It's six successes.
Oh, we're kind of glorying.
Yeah, you would recognize.
That this this has a lot of a lot of ties to two ancient sort of depictions of the emperor very, very much a.
A time in imperial history that truly venerated the emperor as as a living God and the spread of the church with with a six.
You're able to pinpoint this particular fresco as.
Being one that was very, very common at the time of at the time that is now known as the plague of unbelief.
It's it's generally like thought to be around the same time as the age of apostasy.
But the plague of unbelief was about a cardinal who controlled like vast swaths of the imperium and took all of that money and used it to essentially build a giant mega church.
So frescoes like these often went out onto vessels.
Like this, that might have been created with that wealth and vessels like this often would have been used to take that wealth and bring it back with them.
Ah.
This is a very storied ship, gentlemen.
To know about it.
Well, I could tell you this is from roughly around the time of the age of apostasy.
These ships would go out among the stars and bring the emperor's light.
To the unenlightened masses, and in turn, for bringing the light to them, they would bring back the the unenlightened masses riches to give to wonderful cardinal whose name has been lost to history by purpose or by accident.
Ah, we resize very hard.
Is it any wonder that the Inquisition can get nothing done when the ecclesiarchy is busy robbing people?
I am surprising, but is it any.
Wonder the ecclesiarchy can talk and convert so many people or the Inquisition keeps knocking them all off?
I believe one would do better without the other, and I think you would prefer to have the Inquisition's edict.
Well, I do admit it would be pretty nice if everyone worshipped the Omnissiah.
Here we go.
Oh, pie.
It's OK, pie.
We won't listen.
OK, so where are we heading, boys?
As you walk along these frescoes.
You eventually come to a set of massive golden double doors that are inlaid with precious gemstones and lined with platinum pillars.
The servos here are created using other fine metals as well and have actually been put into the fresco themselves, representing the organs of ancient imperial saints and cardinals.
So with with all of that, you can see that even this fresco has been defaced with these sort of bloody smears.
And at the center of it is the Emperor Resplendent holding his sword aloft.
And as he does, he has this blood weeping down as the door itself has sort of cut him in twain with a slight little incision of where the two doors meet.
There are cranks on either side to open this immense doorway.
It's a friendship door.
Very well, I get to the left one.
Captain Zetik will go to the right one.
And I'll form the head.
I stand in the middle.
Alright, try to keep up.
And I'm just going to be using my sixth strength, just like rocking it like a fucking like I'm like like a power in a small city.
It's going to be faster than the eye can track.
It's going to be lightning red.
And then Zetik can, you know?
Zetik will use his three strength to embody these.
Got it.
Good.
Now go.
Oh, no.
to attempt to turn it relatively
fast.
Alright,
both of you, please. Both of you just
for lulz give me strength.
I'd be happy to.
Can I spend
two glory on this to try and run up high?
You can spend more if you want.
Fuck it, I'll spend... Do you want me to spend all the glory
or three of it? Yeah, go for it. I want you to go faster.
Oh, sure. Why not? I appreciate that
Zedek's just like, I'm fucking doing
this good. This is happening. Here we go.
Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
Here we go.
That's a one.
It didn't roll.
It didn't do the glory.
I'll do those first.
Oh, God. Two successes
on those.
Let me wrap this.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that...
Oh, there you go.
No, that's four, five, six. That's more
than you right now.
Two of them?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you have two fails on the glory as well.
Six.
Yeah, six.
You beat them by one.
So what happens is Pi is having very little
difficulty, like, moving this
crank and you see it and, like, I assume
there's this moment where, Zedek, your
eyes just narrow slightly.
My face furrows and just gains
more definition.
As you call upon all of your
family's ancient glories
as you just start going.
Forgive me. I must go all out
just this once that I was sent before
that I must go out just this once.
Just imagine Zedek's super saying powering up.
And as this is happening,
the door, the door begins to open
and you can hear that as it's moving,
it's almost like a music box
that starts playing
the 41st millennium version of Hallelujah.
It's probably still Hallelujah that starts
coming through vox emitters above, timed to the cranking.
You can tell that this is probably
normally opened by servitors.
So, like, as Zedek's going, it's like,
hallelujah, hallelujah.
As he starts beating up to try to go.
I thought I thought you were going to say
it was Jeff Buckley's hallelujah.
And that's yeah.
I mean, they they got things wrong.
OK, the future is weird.
As the door opens, you see before you
a massive chamber that has this
glass dome around it that looks out into space.
And there's multiple tiers that rise up.
There are a set of stairs that elevate to a much larger
sort of central area in this command throne space
where you can see what is probably the captain's throne
facing out towards space,
surrounded by walls that are filled with consoles
in a slightly circular fashion.
That is all accessed by a stairway
that leads up from the entrance.
And then there's sort of ramps around the outer edges
of the room that go up to rows upon rows of cogitation units
that sort of line the the first half of this spherical chamber.
Hmm.
Oh, are there any other doors past this or this?
This this is the strategium itself.
There's no other access point that you can see.
OK, so we're bottlenecked, basically.
This is the locus of suffering.
You have reached the bridge.
But like, all of you are like,
this puts Zedek's strategium to shame.
I'd hope so.
Yeah, look at this.
Look at this ship and look at who actually owned it.
This reminds me of the basilicas on Volov Prime.
I haven't seen one of these in years.
I was about to say, it reminds me of an actual ship, Zedek.
Yeah, ha ha.
We'll talk about the sorry state of the ship later.
No, what I'm saying is, if we find a way to salvage it,
it would be a nice addition.
Reeb.
Reeb, my...
Sorry, go ahead.
I'm interrupting.
My bad.
Go ahead.
Lord, we'll get to you in a second.
Oh, shit.
I apologize.
It's OK.
I forgive you.
You are threatening me?
Yes.
Back to back to be threatening.
You are attempting to.
Reeb, as an inquisitor, you should know.
We can't...
There's no coming back.
This is...
This is nightmare on the ship.
They're not going to save it.
They're going to turn it into slag.
If it even exists in a state of molecular flux after whoever's done with it.
What I mean is we could find a way to jettison the strategium.
After all, we're saying it was corrupted.
If it were to be blown off.
Doesn't seem to be in terrible condition.
Actually, can I do a quick investigate to see if this area has experienced any...
Funny warp explosions?
Well, are you going to start spending time looking around?
At this point, the door has just opened.
So, I mean, you're not even able to see the full breadth of this room.
You're just kind of at the little...
You're like little bugs at the entrance of this immense chamber.
Right.
So if you want to, you can.
But it's less like, oh, I make an investigate for this whole area.
It's like, where are you going?
Are you going to go up to the side ramps?
Are you going to go up that central stairway to the central strategium with the command throne?
Where exactly are you wanting to be?
Presumably, as Reeve is entering in and getting an actual feel for how big this is compared to Zedek's strategium,
he's going to think better of it and say,
Perhaps not. That's a bit too much work.
Yeah, and what is going to stop us from getting the place stolen by the big ship, Merangus?
We need to figure about that, don't we?
Yes.
As very wealthy and shiny as this bad ship is, we will have to make do with Captain Zedek's shitty strategium.
In a good way.
You can tell that the door now is starting to close.
Since no one is, like, continuing to crank.
I'm going to head in.
Okay.
I assume we're walking around.
Yeah, so Zedek and Pye rush back to meet the group.
And shortly after, there is a resounding, echoing BOOM as the twin gold doors seal you in this immense chamber.
Hmm.
I'll figure out that in a minute.
And I pat him on the shoulder.
Don't let him get you down, Zedek.
From the many adventures that we have gone on,
and seeing the absolute terrible state of your ship,
and the questionable birthday cakes and all the whatnot,
you've done quite well with what little you have been given to you.
And I admire that.
There have been many chieftains that I have advised over,
and I have to say, you're definitely a cut above the rest of them.
You've done far better.
So, for the while, I don't know if anyone ever has said this to Captain Zedek, but,
Captain Zedek, bud.
You've done a good job.
Zedek will be actually touched by Loren taking the moment to show him human kindness,
and he'll just look at him sternly and say,
Thank you. Thank you, Loren.
I needed that.
He'll pat him on his shoulder.
I'm like, you would have made a great chief.
As high as that got, though.
And I leave.
You go around looking.
All right.
You weren't saying anything.
If you were so fat, you would have made a good chieftain.
It's all those cakes, Zedek.
It's all those cakes.
Thurston.
Yes.
Specifically, because Reeb is curious about the fate of Church, as it were,
how abusive fate of Church went,
he's going to try and see if he can find anything else pertaining to her around here,
if that's possible, as a first move, if he can.
So you're going to make your way up the sort of central stairs towards the primary
strategium and then try to access one of the consoles?
Yeah.
Okay.
I assume the rest of you are sort of following him up the stairs?
Yeah, I'm going to be heading on in.
I'm going to be trying to gain access to the majority of the systems.
I'm trying to get back into the database.
Okay, so the two of you are stepping up these steps and immediately going to
cogitator units and starting to access stuff.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, perfect.
Zedek, what are you doing?
Following along behind.
Okay.
Thinking over the state of my ship and my body, apparently.
Okay.
Okay.
So yeah, I kind of see it like you're coming up the steps,
like Pyke runs off to one set of cogitator units, Reeb to the other set.
There's sort of this, you know, large throne that's staring off into the distance.
Zedek, you're kind of placing yourself behind the throne,
like equidistant between these two and watching things.
Loren, what are you doing?
I'm trying to like go to all these access panels and I like press the button
and I assume I see like a stream of information.
Yeah.
I kind of nod and I'm like, oh, yeah.
Like I have any clue what the hell is going on.
Which one of the two are you?
Because there's basically two sets of panels.
Loren has, or sorry, Reeb has gone to one and Pyke has gone to the other.
Who are you going with, basically?
Who are you showing?
I'm just finding one that no one's touched yet.
So I look like I'm doing something.
Okay.
Okay.
But there's two sides, left and right.
One has gone to each of them.
Which side are you going to?
I'll go on the right side.
Okay.
Cool.
Cool.
All right.
Reeb and Pybrain, will you please give me tech checks for your respective actions here?
Yes.
Oh, oh, oh.
Awesome, Speaker.
You are activated.
I hear the winds.
Corn!
I'm just being all...
Four complicate.
Seven and no complicate.
Okay.
So, Reeb, you were trying to find more information on Chirp, and specifically the state of the
shuttle.
Right?
Yeah.
You start accessing the data, and you can tell that the Carolingians are
off-ship.
Right.
So the Carolingians had two shuttles, and both of them are currently off-ship.
As you're sort of cycling through the dates, one of the dates is completely just like garbage
data.
Like, it looks like just scrap code, weird ASCII characters that pop up.
Yeah.
The other one would be a date that would roughly translate to when you know the Carolon
was supposed to have entered the system.
Like, within a few hours of it entering the Fimbria system, one of the shuttles departing.
So presumably that one is hers, would be my guess.
Uh...
And your complication is that as you're doing this, you catch sight of something
moving.
Where?
In the grating beneath you.
Uh...
Y'all.
Okay.
You just see some like, strange reflection of light down.
Well, given this ship, he will make ready for it, but he's not going to break away just
yet.
Okay.
Going to Pi Brain now.
Pi, what were you looking for specifically?
I'm trying to gain access, right, to the general capacities to, say, the engines,
or say, you know, the reactor.
I'm trying to find the means to access the thing that would allow us to overload the
ship and blow it up.
Okay.
You can tell that that's going to require a bit more than a seven.
And like, a lot more effort is going to need to be invested.
However, with what you've rolled, as you're starting to gain access, I mean, this is still
an Imperial starship.
It is very difficult for one person to gain access.
To most things.
However, you are able to see certain elements of the vessel that have been put on lockdown.
Particularly, you can see that the power for the primary maglev was deactivated, but
it hasn't been put behind any powerful firewalls or encryption coding.
So that's something you could immediately react.
Okay.
I'll...
Oh, sorry.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Go ahead.
I'll flip that.
If it's going to take some time for me to be able to overload this area, then I would
like to, perhaps, try to find information on De Huckabee and what exactly happened and
where he might have gone.
Okay.
So you're going to start digging into that as well after you've upped that.
Perfect.
All right.
Lorne, I know you were doing that.
Lorne and Zedek, can you both give me awareness tests?
Sure.
I'd be happy to.
I can sure make an attempt.
That's a one and a complication.
Good.
I rolled a four.
A four?
Okay.
Um, Lorne, you notice that things here are just very quiet.
There's no other sounds but you and your allies here.
It's too quiet.
It is.
And the clacking of cogitator units.
But the clacking of the cogitator units isn't what you're used to.
Like, normally you hear chattering of various different machine units all around the bridge
of the debt collector.
There's sort of this complete disharmony.
Here, everything is almost activating in unison.
Though the clacking of some of the devices here is all synced.
Hmm.
Yeah.
You get, you get bored.
I'm not that surprised.
You, you have these people who are, who are looking around and doing all this data.
You've sort of set yourself up to, um, you set yourself up so to speak to like do guard duty.
Uh, well, everyone is starting to, you know, hacker man it up, but even Lorne is kind of
pretending to.
you realize that you're not seeing anything but something does entice you you're looking at the
back of this throne you know i was just gonna suggest is that it just wanders towards the
throne anyway and kind of stares out thinking how about how much better this would be in his
strategium yeah absolutely and so so as you you you sort of take your take your time to to look
at it um staring at the back of this throne which has this strange sort of fresco on it looking at
you uh you can see the the not this is not the emperor though this is some some some important
saint whose name you don't quite know who is reaching a hand towards the stars with the light
of the imperium and you're you're sort of like oh this is interesting and walking around it and
seeing the the gilded nature of it and you this is a massive throne by the way
like we're talking like five by five meters elevated up so you're actually having to do
like a pace around it you you walk by reeb who's intently looking and then seems to pause as reeb
notices something and you you take your first step up what is a marble set of stairs at the front of
this throne again kind of coming up the side of it you can see the names of various worlds that
scribed on the marble here uh beginning it at sort of the far right with a with a planet that
you're not familiar with and then various other ones you you take another step up and then you
see something sitting in the throne and i need you to give me a resolve test the difficulty of
which will be five oh okay uh-oh
here we go can i spend two glory on this that sounds like a good idea all right here we go
that's a two let's roll the other two type first see here
wow oh that's a six six that is those two glory uh make the difference
my cabin you turn in time
to see an abomination against reality writhing under the sort of envelope of the throne
none of you could see it because the back of the ship's throne is so immense
you see what can only be described as a conglomeration of humanity and horrors merged
together it stares at you with dozens of eyes opening up your eyes and you see a
burning and closing all across its bloated clearly semi-etheric form it turns to you as you would dare to ascend its seat
and um well then captain zedek you're going to get to go first in uh this little situation
what would you like to do
wow huh for the first time i've been a lost for words
i'm very appropriate
i assume none of us all see this we're don't know none of you have seen this yet like the way to
describe like the way like imagine that this this plinth you're on is a circle right and in the center
of the circle is another circular like throne that's elevated you've only gone to the first
banks of cogitators so you're just seeing the back of the throne
zedek got curious and started walking around oran will yell out going zedek do you find anything
i'm only seeing words you know i really do think we'd be running into more trouble here but things
seem pretty i am very quiet here yeah i mean i really do appreciate that what are you doing
die monster you don't belong in this world that's me what that is very very mean for you to say about
pie yeah i just belong
zedek would like to
Draw his arc pistol and kind of do a combat super action hero dodge backwards and getting as far away as he can from this aberration and take a shot.
Totally.
It's a five and a crit.
Five and a crit.
That is beautiful.
A five will definitely hit it.
You can even shift one dice for an extra point of damage.
Roll me 2d6 for that crit as you get the Captain Zedek special off before diving out of line of sight of this horrific thing.
It's going to be a 26.
Okay, and then roll me damage.
Sure.
With one bonus dice as well.
14.
Okay, 14 and a 26.
Ferocious reading.
Ferocious rending your attack shreds the opponent's flesh to ribbons.
Target suffers 1d3 more wounds, so I can do determination against this.
Roll me 1d3.
It also, you can increase this if you want to spend glory.
Every glory you spend will do more wounds to it as well.
We have a five.
Say, would anyone be opposed to making this thing go away faster?
No, go for it.
Okay.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Are you going to drop all five into it?
Should I do all five, or do you want me to save one just in case we have to save one?
One just in case there's like 12d6.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
So we'll do four glory.
Okay.
So plus four.
So 14.
Okay.
Yeah.
You don't have to roll it.
It just adds it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, exactly.
Okay.
So perfect.
Perfect.
I'm going to...
And then you have d3.
So 2.
I have some determination stuff to make here.
Cool.
It takes this, and you can tell you've lacerated it terribly.
It looks like it's leaking out.
It looks like your bolt of electrical energy has seared across it and caused it to weep
more sores and staggers slightly.
And then you dive out of the way.
Okay.
Gentlemen, I don't think we're alone anymore.
And then it goes.
What do you see?
It...
It...
I suppose the best way to describe this is it flows around the throne.
Splitting itself in half, in a sense.
Moving more like liquid than a cloud.
Yeah.
More liquid than a corporeal thing to create itself in two split halves that rejoin on
the back of the throne, revealing itself to every one of you now.
For those of you who aren't Captain Zedek, can all of you give me a difficulty five resolve
test?
Ah!
I can try.
I see.
Resolve, you say?
Correct?
The thing with the R?
Yes.
Uh...
Ah, no.
No.
No.
Come now, resolve.
Yeah.
If it ever doesn't work, on the top left of the sheet, you can just click use and I
die.
Zero...
Zero complication.
Okay.
Ron rolls with a three.
Okay.
Lorne, are you happy with that?
Or...
Nope.
Because you said the word.
You said the word.
It's a five.
It's a five.
I'm good.
You understand.
I can...
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Reb, I...
I know.
I know.
I know.
Reb, I...
I know.
Lorne was a bit closer.
That's why I was asking.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um...
So...
Um...
This is a terrifying entity.
It is not a fearsome entity.
So...
Uh...
Failure in this case is a bit more drastic than normal.
Um...
You will...
Uh...
Those of you who failed, which would be Reb and Pi, you will have to actually just run
away from this thing.
Um...
You will spend all of your actions running away, and you will only...
You will continue to do so until an ally gives you a leadership, um, that meets the requisite
difficulty number to rally you back into the fight.
GM?
Yes?
Do they just suffer the feared condition?
Um...
So this is not the feared condition.
This is the terror condition.
Oh.
So they have suffered a condition, nevertheless.
However, if you grant any bonuses to fear tests, they also apply to terror tests.
Not necessarily bonuses.
If you have anything that grants immunity to fear, you can grant them one extra icon
on their resolve tests.
Oh, okay.
So if you have anything that gives them immunity to fear, you can basically give
them plus one to it.
I do not...
Yet.
Okay.
I can make you...
I can make you feel a little bit better and recover your shock, but I can...
Uh...
I can't do a leadership test until it's my turn.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
So can I just...
Can I just take it real quick and just spend my turn fleeing?
Uh, well, its turn's not done.
That was just it moving into line of sight of you.
Oh, terrific.
Good.
Um...
In fact, once it...
Once it moves, it...
It then seems to focus all of its eyes on Captain Zedek, and it speaks with mouth and
speaks with mouths that don't come from it, but seem to speak from the vox emitters on
the bridge in a chortling static that blurts out,
The captain of the broken vessel that sails the stars.
They laugh at you, but would bow if they knew the truth.
Uh...
And it's gonna make a psychic test, cause we like those, don't we?
Lord!
Your opponent!
I can do that!
Oh, it's gonna peril!
I...
Oh my god!
It just...
Oh my god!
God, please!
Just overload instantly!
Well, I'm not happy with that.
I'm gonna perils regardless, but mark me down a rune point, please.
Okay.
I will try to deny a lot of the witch.
Uh, my defense...
Yeah.
It seems like...
Go over to the last of those.
It's two!
Oh, good.
So that will hit, but I'm still not happy with it hitting.
So we're gonna...
Oh, I would expect you wouldn't.
Okay.
Perfect.
Oh, good.
It still perils three times total.
It perils three times now because of that reroll.
Cause I rerolled into a third of perils.
So this'll be fun.
Um, it speaks those words and then it looks into your soul.
And, uh, first of all, Captain Zedek...
Wait, but I'm denying the witch.
...
Oh, uh, okay.
Yeah, I've tried that three times.
I meant to fucking hear you.
My apologies.
He got drowned out by the voices of the void.
Yeah.
True.
Okay, so this is the first time we denied the witch.
So it's basically I cannot do my psychic powers on my turn because I'm doing it on this thing
now.
You deny thine witch.
So how do I deny the witch?
So the deny the witch will be...
Basically, uh, it's a psychic mastery test.
The difficulty is two plus the difficulty of the power you are trying to deny.
Oh, great.
Yeah.
So you'll need a ten.
Oh.
Then we don't have a lot of glory.
You can do it!
Um...
I will look...
I will look upon the creature and I'll see, uh, would I know what kind of psychic power it's doing?
Uh, you do not know what type...
You just know that it is doing etheric powers and channeling them towards Captain Zedek.
Well, let's...
Good luck, boys.
I don't like that.
I shall deny the witch.
And I only got a seven, but I have a wrath.
I will do my wrath.
I cannot deny him.
You could spend the glory and you'll equal it and then you'd be able to deny it.
It wouldn't...
It wouldn't...
You'd have to roll the glory and have to succeed the glory.
Yeah.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
So you reach out.
You reach out, Loren, and try to stop this as you see these waves crash into Cap...
These etheric waves that only you can see crashing into the captain who has once again met eyes with this horrific monstrosity.
But it doesn't happen.
I interrupt.
Oh, what?
May I...
We had that one glory.
We had that one glory.
Would you permit me to roll that one glory?
Someone granted to, but I'm going to say this happens after the system.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
I will allow you to roll it.
So if I can succeed, boys.
Oh.
I need...
A four plus.
Huh?
Give me your energy.
No!
Well, technically, I have wrath, so I can reroll that, right?
Try to bullshit the GM.
I can reroll it, right?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
No.
Okay.
Okay.
100%.
You gave me the generosity to at least roll, so we'll keep going.
Captain Zedek, you are struck in your very soul by whatever.
These words have shaken you, but more importantly, they have burrowed into your mind.
You take three mortal wounds.
Fuck.
Oh.
as they
just drill into you.
But along with that,
I require you
to give me a
difficulty three
corruption test.
No, that is not what Zedek is
thinking in the moment.
That's your conviction.
That's your conviction.
Okay.
New York.
62.
Can I
have a wrath?
I do have a wrath still.
Actually, yeah, I will wrath it.
Absolutely.
Someone give me another wrath.
Seven hit of glory!
So you stand firm
against the corrupting influence
on your soul from this
horrific monstrosity.
I know
who I am, and I know
what I am.
And I will not let whatever
monster you are tell me otherwise.
Cool.
Who wants to go next?
Should I just get my turn out of the way?
Sure.
Yeah, so you're gonna just, like,
start running, correct?
I'm heading up
a big ship!
He's gonna run towards the door.
Yeah.
You make your way away from this
in, like, terror of this utter
abomination against reality.
That's perfect.
As that occurs, it takes
its second action.
Good.
At which point, you can see
now that along
the floor, it has these
tentacles that sort of
seep out from its body.
Did you do perils yet?
Oh, that's a good point. Thank you.
Three perils.
Yeah, no, no, that is very important.
See, we...
I got distracted by the deny,
so that's my bad. Let's do this
to...
That's the worst-case scenario. He just turns into another chaos spawn.
So it's gonna be this plus
30.
So 66, that will be bad, right?
Because immediately,
like, a lot of people in chat will be like,
Scarbran! Scarbran!
But I'm like, Scarbran shows up, the campaign's
over. More hands in.
We're not gonna fight a legendary bloodthirster.
No, I will fight him.
And then you will die.
Go get him, champ!
Go get him!
I'm gonna say, guys, I just looked over at the chat.
All you guys rooting for perils, there are very
few of these that work out in our favor.
Hey, chat. Hey, chat.
Thanks for reminding me.
Hey, chat. Hey, chat.
Thanks for reminding me.
All right, so
all creatures in 25 meters,
so that'll be all of you at the time this occurs,
take five shock.
Terrific. I gain one
rune.
And
my personal favorite, which will impact
two people.
For the remainder of the scene,
all wrath dice, as part of a psychic
mastery test, that don't result
in a one or a six, must be
rerolled once.
Hey, Thurston, I'm exhausted.
Oh, perfect. Yeah, yeah. Like, seeing
this thing, and then it, like,
channels this energy and these discordant
voices coming out of the voxes,
they just sap all of
your internal resolve. You
are exhausted.
All of us, right?
No, just me.
No, no, no. You all take five points
of shock, but if that takes you to zero
shock, then you're exhausted.
Remember, I only have five shock.
Yes, yes.
Mm-hmm.
Because I got hit in the head by that elf.
I am also exhausted.
Oh, good.
I will help. Stupid elves.
Stupid elves.
All right, so this, like,
awful thing had taken its action,
done that. Then we've gone to Reeb.
Reeb had, like, started to run away,
which basically, at this point, means you are
making your walk action to get
away from this thing.
Then it goes, and as I was
describing, it gets multiple actions.
Its second action is that it leaves behind it
a carpet of tentacular limbs,
which seem to snake down into
the grating, and Reeb, as you are
moving away from this thing,
you realize that what you saw,
behind the grating, was, like,
a vine nest of tentacles
that run underneath the
entirety of the strategium off
of this thing's body.
And just as you piece this together,
one of them bursts through
a grate near to Pi's brain.
Can't worry about that now, running away.
And makes an
attack on you, Pi.
Ow.
Uh, which will
crit you.
Yes, it will.
With an eight, um, and I think...
However, you'll only be shifting one dice.
Uh, yes. Yes, yes.
So, we'll do that, and...
Blop. I will do fourteen...
Wow, fourteen damage total to you. No AP on that.
Okay.
Well, that's quite a bit.
I will be rolling... I can't roll
Determination. Oh, shit.
You can see if I have a reaction for this
to help you out. Um...
Well, now!
Looks like Pi is
down to three wounds! Hey, but guess
what? Huh. I'm gonna counterattack.
Yeah, but guess what? You still have to
get critted. I know. I'm gonna
get critted.
Oh, yeah. Let's do that. Yeah, can we get the
crit out of the way so we can
bemoan the fact that I can't heal anyone right now?
Twenty-one. Brutal rupture!
Ah! Oh!
You take three mortal wounds!
Oh, please, don't.
Where were you when Warhammer was
dying? You take three mortal wounds,
Pi. Alright, well, I am now
dying again. Okay, so you
fall down from... This tentacle
bursts out, wraps around your
leg, you get ready to counterattack, and it
crushes.
Can I still counterattack? Is this even, like, an enemy?
Or is this just, like, a ranged attack?
Uh, this... This is an
attack. You can counterattack the
tendril. Can he add
zero hit points?
Oh, yeah, I can counterattack when I'm dying.
Yeah, the
question is, like, if I attack the
tendril... Like, does the tendril have its own
separate HP pool, or is it just... You don't
know. I don't... You're right. That's a
mechanical element thing that you wouldn't know.
You're right! I think it's just a question
mechanics. No metagaming!
No metagaming!
Uh...
Uh... If I'm dying,
I'm not running away.
Correct.
I mean, you're crawling away, theoretically.
Theoretically, yeah.
I won't counterattack, uh, because
the reason I was going to counterattack was so I
wouldn't have to run away, but, uh,
now I, uh, it seems as though that problem
has solved itself. Yeah. Also, remember,
this is a great point to remind
you. I believe you can spend, uh,
is it wrath dice to get shock back?
I know!
It's a little bit... Like, shock is
one thing, but we're kind of in
a little worse... Oh, wait! No, I will
counterattack, because there's no reason not to, because on my turn
the counterattack malice goes away.
Yeah. So, yeah, I will counterattack.
Do it up. Do it up!
Counter of attack.
You're stabbing, like, this, like...
That'll do.
That's a good retort. Ten and a crit.
I think that
I am not
a squid man!
Oh, yeah, that's right. He does hate squids.
Yeah. Call upon your trading against
Lemurian squid thieves!
Fifteen!
Okay. Uh, fifteen?
Uh, gosh, I
should just take...
I'm shot!
Does that work?
Do you have to re-roll it?
I'm just gonna assume that what happens is, like,
this tentacle is, like, writhing around
your leg. You raise up your
power sword and swing it
down, and as you do, the tip of the tentacle
forms into a head
that stares up at you
just in time to be hit by the sword.
Yeah. It looks like my shifting
hitbox was really against me this
time. Yeah, yeah. This is...
This move was unsafe on block.
Chaos spawn. Are you...
Are you using your new sword or your old sword?
I'm using my Lemurian power sword.
Okay. Just clarify that. Yeah, because you would
have to draw the big guy. Yeah, yeah.
And also, this gives me a passive defense bonus.
Yeah.
Let us go!
Uh, fourteen damage. And then d3
mortal wounds. Oh, that's right. Regular wounds.
Regular wounds. That is so one d3.
And you can do
extra wounds if you want to spend glory. Three.
The clarifier was the decapitating thing.
It was the
headshot was the crit. Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
The crit effect.
I could say you could probably take four glory if you're
up for that. Uh, well, with
four... with, uh, sorry,
seventeen damage ap3, does that
solve this tentacle problem?
It might.
Um... I gotta say.
I'll, I'll, uh,
I'll be tempted to pump two more glory into it
just to get to that sweet, sweet nineteen damage.
I mean, the tentacle's part of this thing, so...
If it's... Well, I don't know if I'm doing damage
to the tentacle or if I'm doing damage to the chaos bomb.
I think both are good.
Yes. But I did a lot of damage.
And I don't know if it's dead yet.
So I'll do nineteen.
Okay, nineteen? Yeah. You, you
slash down on this thing and just
sever it in half and then
do a backstroke that cuts it down.
And as you do so, like, the mass
of the tentacle hits the ground, flops
off of your leg, and you just, like,
hear this slight, like,
sizzling sound as it dissolves
on the deck. Underneath
you can still see writhing
movement, but that appears to be it.
Uh, for, like, this, this tentacle.
It's not grabbing you or holding you in
place anymore.
I'll show you!
Um...
Okay. Very,
very good. Very good.
Oh, and also, since it did make you die,
um...
Uh, it,
yeah, like, it's, it's, it's dealt, like, some
severe damage to your leg. Almost like
the wrapping around caused, like, burn
damage from just how much it
was crunching into you.
And the speed at which, so your, your, your
left leg has got this, just
this, this sort of, not compression,
but, like, almost, like, burning
scorch from how fast that thing came
up and grabbed you. Alright, that was
its go. Uh, back to you.
Uh, Lorne, you had denied, so you
can't take a combat action, but you can, like, still
move around if you would like. And then
we also have Piebrain. Who would
like to go next?
Uh, I'll let Pie go, because it was gonna be
my turn where I go, neat! And then that's it.
Well, Lorne, but yeah,
but you could, like, theoretically, like, even just
hit him with a stick.
Uh, no, he can't, because he did deny the witch.
He, he got his, uh, he can
do basically a move action to, like,
Oh, okay. Uh, in that case, um,
so I know that being dying knocks me
prone. Since I'm tapped into the
cogitator, can I potentially make an
athletics check to instead, like,
basically still be as immobilized, but
kind of splay myself out back,
leaning back on the desk rather than on the
ground?
I, I, I
sure. You'll still require,
like, a movement at some point
to get up. I, I, uh, I can't
move. Yeah.
Okay. So I will, uh, I will try
to, like, kind of basically be sprawled
towards the back. I'm on my feet, but I'm still,
like, fundamentally just fucked up.
Um.
Uh, three?
Yeah, I mean, like, you could, like,
sprawl onto it. Like, I, yeah, you're, you're
fine. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Uh, in that
case, I, uh,
I could,
I could try shooting it.
I think
that might be the only, uh, but if I'm
attacked again, then I won't have my weapon out.
So what I'm going to do
is, uh, I can't run,
so I'm
going to try to
interface with the cogitator I'm already
connected with, and see if maybe I can get
some kind of automated defenses online.
Bold move, Cotton.
Exactly. Uh, give me a
tech check. Absolutely.
I'm going to be pumping, uh, two glory to this.
Okay.
Uh, four successes
and a glory. Uh, you're going to leave me to wrap that?
Yep. All right.
Oh, nice!
You are desperately
scanning for anything you can,
but again, like, you just don't have the
access, and you're trying so hard.
Like, you're able to note that,
oh, there are some, some defensive
turrets in here, but, like, as you're, like,
access denied, access denied, access,
access denied.
Um,
all right, um...
Lauren?
Nope. Lauren, you're go.
Uh, I guess my movement
actions, and I'm going to put myself in a position
to where I am not going to be,
um, tentacled
upon.
Okay, so you're trying to, like,
look for a place where the tentacles couldn't
burst out and attack you? Yeah, I'm trying,
trying to get in a safe place.
So, the way you can
do that is by moving on to the
plinth where the throne is. You'll still be able to
see the thing, because that plinth is pure
marble. Like, nothing is coming out
of that.
I'll, I'll do that, I suppose.
Yeah, so, like, you rush over, you're kind of,
like, behind it from the
rest of your party, but
you're, you're now in a much safer
position. Yeah, I have to do the
Heinz Al Ghul thing by standing there
and then buff myself for five hours.
Oh. I mean, you know,
we do what we do.
You jump in reverse into a corner
building up speed for twelve hours. Yeah.
So you clip out of the ship.
So, uh, that is the end of our
first combat round.
Goddammit.
Second combat round, who would like to go
first? I think
Zedek!
I think Captain Zedek should go first.
I think Captain Zedek should try to
rally, uh, Reeb
before anyone else gets too badly wounded, so
I'll, I'll point something out here.
Captain Zedek, you can do a leadership
test. The difficulty is seven.
Uh. Okay.
Difficulty seven, and that
will rally your people.
You can
opt to do one of them, or
you can opt to do both of them,
but then it's difficulty nine.
Do it big and make it nasty.
Oh my god.
Uh.
On all the glory for this, I'm guessing.
That's a good idea. Yes.
No such thing as interrupting this thing if it's just gonna kick our asses.
Uh, yeah, I'll spend all the glory.
Okay. All the glory has been spent.
All the glory has been spent?
It happens. Uh, Captain Zedek,
how are you doing on shock, by the way?
On shock? Uh, I'm,
I'm not doing too well, but I'll get to that on my
simple action. Okay, no, no, I was wondering,
and I should offer this to, um,
to Pi and Reeb, do you guys want to spend
a wrath point during your previous
turns to have gotten all the
wrath I can get? Yeah, I'm
willing to spend wrath on that. Okay, so
mark Pi down the wrath point,
and then you get, I believe it is
your rank
plus...
Yeah, rank.
Isn't it like rank plus tier or something? I think it's rank plus
tier.
Uh, checking. It is
rank plus your tier.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah, so I have five shock.
Cool. Oh, fuck it.
Knocked me down one, too.
Oh.
That's kind of what I figured.
Okay, great, and I'm not exhausted anymore.
Yeah, for reference, that was
why I didn't... Yeah.
Sorry. You have no wrath.
Lauren, did you want to do that as well?
No, I'm pretty good. Okay, cool.
Um, alright, so, yeah, yeah,
back to Zedek, then. So you were, you've
taken three glory, um,
you're, you're gonna do this
leadership test to try to inspire
your folks. I sure,
I sure am.
Alright.
Not bad for the base.
We'll do another three for the
die. I'm sorry, the glory die.
Oh, yeah, yeah, roll the three glory. Okay, so
you need six, and you'll
get five dice to reroll. Yep.
And I will wrath it. Yep.
Uh...
And then roll the three.
Yeah, you need one
more on two dice.
No. Fuck.
Hmm.
Wait, hold on. There's one more glory.
I'm sorry, yeah, one more glory
that is there. I mean, you already
succeeded on that four.
Wait, did you? No, it would
have been a... Yeah, the difficulty's nine.
He needs one more.
He's doing both of the people who are
currently having... Yeah, I say take the
last glory. If Thurston
will allow it. Oh, yeah. I'll allow it
without the reroll, just to
keep things interesting. Yeah, that's fair.
That's fair.
Need to get a four.
Oh!
You got a five.
Okay, then it's gonna go.
Ah!
How do you... Actually, how do you rally them,
by the way? I'm curious. What is Zedek's
way of rallying his
inquisitorial acolyte and
wounded Skitarii ally?
The Emperor's
light and the Omnissiah's will flows
through us today, lads.
Do not die here. We are going
to make this meatball man
meet his end. And I would also
like that to be my simple action for Gallo's
humor.
Ooh!
Oh, I'll
allow it. How much
is that? It's just a
fellowship test, and I get icons plus rank.
Oh, yeah, okay. But everybody's pretty
much topped off, so I think I'm the only one who actually needs it.
Uh, he gave me an extra one.
Cool. Here it comes.
It's gonna be...
Uh, wow.
Alright, so that's...
Seven. Seven shocks
to myself and my allies.
Nice.
Nice.
What a shame.
Um...
It's gonna go.
Good.
Well, can Captain Zedek move and attack
on his turn?
Uh, no, because you would have had to decline, because it's still
an action to do. You would... Like, you can still
move. You just can't attack, because that
would have increased the difficulty by
another two. Yeah. Which you don't want.
Captain Zedek's gonna move back,
because he knows not to get
fucky with this with three wounds left.
Okay, so, like, you're kind of moving back to where
Reeb would be. Uh, so you and Reeb
are close. Uh, Pybrain's kind of off
to the side, sprawled on that console,
and then behind this thing, uh,
sort of on that marble plinth is
Lorne. Um...
This thing goes. Um...
And this time, all of
its eyes, like,
sort of
flow around its body
towards its back left corner.
All of them, like, almost merging
together like bubbles
in a... Like, you know, in water.
Into one immense eye
that stares at you,
Lorne. Oh, I figured
this was gonna happen. And then
you just hear again the booming
loudspeaker voice from it.
The weak old
man who comes from a
world where no one is weak
abandoned by
wolves for his forsaken
weird that will lead only
to damnation.
And, uh, it's gonna
use a psychic power on you.
Okay.
Um...
Let's roll it.
Um...
I think
that's it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh, okay. Pop!
That
will also complicate, by the way.
Oh, perfect, perfect, perfect.
I'm also gonna spend a rune point to make this better
because I'm not happy with that result.
So mark me down a rune point.
Four.
I'll take a ten.
Oh. Yeah. I will not be denying
the witch. Okay. I will not
deny it. Perfecto.
Uh, its eye
stares into you, and
Hugh, you see something
in that eye.
Something looking into the depths
of your existence, in
fact. Uh, as it
does, you catch sight of various
vistas
beyond cities that have impossible
architecture.
Avian creatures staring
at you from above, taking
an interest in you.
Everything sort of just
has an oppressive gaze
all focused on
you, and you feel your
body erupting under
this pressure. Um, first of all,
are you, um...
I'm going to assume you're not going to try
to deny this because of the high
results, but you could. No, but if
you want, I can add some narrative flair of
the bull guard that's in. Absolutely.
That I assume that he's... I assume it's basically
like he's making me see the worst things
that paralyze me and all that other
stuff, right? Uh, yes.
You were, you were, you were feeling like
energies of the warp coursing
through you. Yeah, and
it was like, show me some really, like,
guard things, right? Maybe, like, sins of
the past or something. Absolutely.
It's, uh...
Basically, like, Ron is
now getting flashbacks of his old
village in Fenris, where
where, like, he was, like, advising
like a nice young chieftain or whoever
who was very proud, everything was healthy,
but then he only sees fire and
brimstone and multiple
ships coming up to the shore
and families that he's looked for, he's
looked upon, and the
chieftain's folk just, you know,
not really having a good time
when you really think about it, and just
nothing but just terrible, like,
war-torn areas of the village.
Mm-hmm.
And, uh, that causes
you to gain two points of corruption,
as you relive those. But this
time, Lorne, you
use your, you manifest your
psychic powers, uh,
in that memory, in defense of your
people, but this time, uh,
this time, it just
goes terribly,
terribly wrong.
Um, uh-oh.
Uh, terribly, terribly wrong.
And...
Oh my
gosh, are you fucking
kidding me? Random results.
Um...
You feel, you feel
this mutating power seep through
you, and as it seeps through
you, like, when you use your powers,
your psychic powers in your memory for the first
time, this time, instead of what you remember happening,
this time, this corruption
accelerates your muscle
growth, and you grow to be
brawny and burly,
and, like, almost inhuman
in nature with the size of the muscles
you grow.
Are you serious?
He's because...
I'm not fucking kidding. The result of
41 on a minor mutation
is you become a brute.
Oh my god.
I'm gonna look this up. Hold up.
Hold up. I'm flipping
to that page. What, where is it?
Page? Page
290.
290? Okay, I'm flipping to it.
The 41 result on the minor mutations
table. Are you fucking kidding me?
Okay, let's see. 41.
41. Brute. Corruption massively
accelerates your muscle growth. You are brawny,
and burly, but the increased muscle mass is
obviously inhuman in nature. Your sudden
growth grants plus one to strength
and toughness. Most tools and devices
are now too small for you to easily use
unless you acquire modified
versions. You suffer one difficulty
that I appeal to do all tests that involve physical
manipulation of tools, including range
weapons. Would you fucking permanently
turn me swollorn?
You're swollorn.
You don't know if this is permanent.
It might be.
Here's the problem. That's not just swollorn.
That's, like, too swollorn.
That's like if
Lorne turned into the Giga
Chad. Lorne, what's
your new incredible strength stat?
My new incredible strength
stat is two!
He doesn't stop growing!
So,
all of you see this happen.
Lorne, again, you get two corruption
points as, like, clearly the
powers of the warp have hit your body
and caused this rampant
horrific growth on you.
Jesus Christ.
Who would like to go next?
I like to imagine where I get all buff and stuff.
I'm like, oh, it's really bad.
Oh, no!
I will go next because
if this creature gets two turns
then it's
best, in my best interest, to do damage now
before getting healed and
take damage.
So, I currently
can't move.
But, what I can do, seeing
my friend begin to mutate and seeing
all this terrible shit being
said. I want to kill Lorne.
I kill Lorne.
No, obviously not.
I escalate quickly.
I'm going to take out my plasma gun
and
I'm going to see this
overcharging.
Oh, God. Okay.
I assume I'm in short range.
Um, yes.
Okay. Full auto-fire.
Okay.
And as my plasma gun begins
to heat up, I'm going to say
Alright, that was fun! Now do me!
And then I'm going to let loose
with my plasma gun and protect
my comrade.
Okay.
Please don't die.
Please.
Please.
That right there is dimmer wrong.
That will miss.
Uh, I have one
left. I'll re-roll it.
Okay.
Ah! There you go.
There you go.
Holy shit. I was so scared.
I was waiting for that one.
I was saying,
Please!
Not that I would wish ill on you at all.
Of course. Of course.
No, no, no.
Alright, so you, you raise up your plasma gun
and there's just like this, this like,
I assume you're like struggling,
your hands shaking to hold it steady
as it's just becoming more and more unstable.
Bolts of plasma flying.
You're just being out at this thing.
You can shift two dice on this.
Alright, cool, cool.
And a supercharge, I believe,
does it add one or, sorry,
two or three extra dice?
Uh, so if you are using the,
the supercharge,
you deals an extra plus three ED.
Oh, oh good.
Three extra dice.
You'll get five extra dice.
Yeah, it's better than I thought.
Alright, let's rock.
23 damage.
83.
Excellent.
Exactly what we needed at this hour
because I don't think we did
all that much damage to it yet.
You start tearing into it
with bolts of plasma that begin searing off of it.
It is going to make a determination roll
against some of that.
Boop.
Oh, I'm not a fan of that,
but I'll actually, how much wrath,
how much rune am I,
I'm only sitting on one rune point.
Eh, we'll have to take it.
Okay.
So 23.
I'm sorry, I'll say it again.
Okay.
Was that?
Did you use it?
Just say it one more time.
No, no, I'm not using a rune.
Yeah, sorry.
I was looking at using it,
but I'm not.
Alright, you begin blasting off
like huge tears of it
that splash against the fresco.
Each bolt of plasma
sending this etheric flesh onto the fresco,
causing it to dissolve.
And you actually see these like ancient cardinals
on the throne wither in their flesh.
Like the gold begins to tone down to bronze-ish.
Oxidization comes,
but even the frescoes themselves seem to change
into like old skeletal figures
who go from leading poses to like screaming in anguish.
And with each bolt of plasma,
you've clearly wounded this thing.
And all of the eyes break apart on its back
and rotate around towards you, Pibrain.
Yeah, fuck you too.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Um, it's going to go.
It barrels towards you.
This was predicted.
It barrels towards you.
And as it does,
this mountain of flesh
creates this mouth that forms.
And inside of it,
you can see faces and eyes.
Staring through
as it comes to try to chomp on you.
Um, let's see how this goes.
Does it pass by Captain Zedek
as it barrels towards Pi?
Uh, Captain Zedek would like to make
Attack of Opportunity.
Captain Zedek would like to stab him.
It's not going to enter Attack of Opportunity.
No, because you pulled back to where Reeb was, so.
Yeah, I gotta say,
as I was running away,
you ran pretty far.
Yeah.
Well, you were move-actioning away
because you were exhausted
when you made your thing, so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, it, but it,
it just barrels
and, like, this chomping maw
comes towards you, Pi.
Alright, here we go.
I'm...
That equals my defense.
That will hit, then.
Ah.
Um...
Oh, wait.
No.
No, it won't.
I am wounded, you see,
so my difficulties all go up by one.
As, of course,
as, of course, do all of yours,
if you've got wounds on you,
but, uh, that will miss,
and I am,
I am not in the mood
of spending that Rune Dice.
I, I have plans for that.
You have another one now,
by the way.
You have two.
Oh, thanks, chat.
Thanks.
I'm still gonna save it,
because there's cool things
I can do with that.
Uh, who would like to go next?
How terribly fucked up is he?
You would have to spend a test to know,
like, you're right, you know,
because this isn't like
we're dealing with, like, a normal guy.
This is a fucking chaos spot.
It's impossible to tell.
Like, like, yeah,
like, like, the fact that its eyes
have, like, bled over to your side,
it does not have a hit point bar
above it, alas.
Yes.
Uh, to answer chat's questions,
pie is usually defense five and melee,
but I do not have my power,
so I'm out,
so I am not.
Yes.
Okay, I won't counterattack it
with the butt of my rifle, then.
Oh, sorry.
Uh, alright, uh,
I believe that leaves us with
Lorne or Reed, right?
Which, Reed can go,
Reed can go.
I can go last.
It's fine.
Okay.
Uh, all right, well,
I guess I'm, like,
I guess I'm fine,
so I'm just gonna run over to pie
and do my thing.
Do the medikit?
Absolutely.
Well, I kind of have to,
otherwise he will explode.
This is true.
This is true.
That would be terrible.
That would be terrible.
Terrible.
Uh, oh!
By the way,
I can finally use
the chirurgian's tools.
Functions as a medikit,
plus two bonus dice
to medikit tests
when a character is dying.
Hell yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
It's,
it's almost like,
it's almost like
I had intended things
for this equipment.
Game design.
Here we go!
Medikit!
Medikit to the moon!
Medikit!
So this is the default,
that's an 11 and a glory.
Oh, damn, son!
With the additional
two dice,
that's nothing.
Uh,
how much wrath
am I saving?
I have one wrath.
I'm just gonna save it
at 11,
because that's sufficient
enough to make you not die.
Uh, so,
uh, so DN3
responds to the
command,
uh,
DN3 restores a wound.
Every shifted exalt,
which in this case
you could do four,
restores another wound.
So you could restore
five wounds to him.
I will have to,
I mean,
I don't see any reason
why I wouldn't
when I shift him.
Oh, no, no,
I'm just like,
if you wanted to spend
a wrath to fish for more
or whatever, so.
Uh,
yeah,
it's my last wrath,
but honestly,
I don't want him going under,
under a massive
a damage attack again,
because I have no idea
how much the bite does.
So I'm going to wrath it.
Okay.
Yep.
So,
uh,
that'll be,
yeah,
12 now plus 2d6.
Uh,
that's now
two more,
so seven.
That's a 14 in total.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So,
but two more for the shifting,
so he'll get seven.
Yeah.
So congrats.
You're,
you're one point away
from full health.
Optimal efficiency
restored.
Uh,
it will go.
Ow.
And as,
as it's,
as it's,
oh,
are you interrupting?
Do it.
Just do it.
Yeah.
I might as well.
It's mostly,
unfortunately,
it's going to be more mostly
for selfish reasons,
but,
uh,
it's just a basic,
the,
the,
the issue is that I don't really have,
I can't heal anybody.
Like I can heal myself,
but I can't heal anybody else.
It's,
which has been my biggest criticism
of psychic power.
So far,
I really,
but the med act,
then Medicaid,
huh?
Fuck.
I keep bringing up out of natural Medicaid
when it actually matters.
Well,
it's like the only thing,
uh,
like,
I mean,
for me,
my shock's only down.
That's it.
And I was literally going to fix that issue
and then buff myself.
So I don't get completely just swapped
in one hit.
True.
I've had three wounds right now.
Cause I
cared.
I also remember you can restore five shock
just by spending a wrath point.
So
yeah,
I know,
but,
but regeneration,
cause I'm at full wounds
regeneration.
I just keep getting a shot back every turn.
That's true.
I'm going to do other stuff
to increase my resilience.
Like that.
Yeah.
So,
okay.
So
are you going to interrupt?
Yeah,
I'll interrupt so I can buff myself.
So if this thing does go after me,
then I won't immediately die.
Absolutely.
And,
uh,
you know,
as I'm screaming,
go door and smash.
I'm now just buffing myself first.
I'm gonna cast regeneration.
Uh,
just so I can start
declare everything you're doing first
before you roll it.
So tell me what you're doing.
Yeah.
So I'm going to cast regeneration
and then I'm going to cash shape flesh.
And I want to just do those two for now.
Okay.
To make it safe.
So the difficulty on both of those
goes up by two.
I haven't done a psychic power yet.
Yeah.
So it's bay.
So it's just two because I'm doing two,
right?
Not four.
Exactly.
Okay.
It's basically for every action
beyond the first,
it's a plus two.
Unless you have like unnatural
or other abilities.
And I have that talent
where I can do two of these
without penalty.
Which you're not.
So,
yeah.
Yeah.
So regeneration first.
Bloop.
Okay.
Which five,
which I'm going to have to wrath it
because otherwise
it's not going to work.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
There you go.
Which I get a 13.
Yeah.
Let's see.
So that's going to be,
I'm going to boost that,
I guess.
Let's see.
Yeah.
I need,
I need an eight to do it.
I guess I can pull up.
So you can take one,
two.
Yeah.
You can take two.
So what my policy is like,
yeah.
So I can do
every one.
I can do every one.
So you can do two shock
or a wound.
Yeah.
I'll do the shock
because I feel like
I'm going to have to deal
with that more.
Okay.
So I get two more
shock additional,
right?
So it's three a turn.
So I'll immediately
come back up three.
So now I'm going to now
cash sheet flesh
and I'm going to harden
my outer skin,
give me plus four
resilience bonus
if I get this off.
I need.
Okay.
Difficulties eight.
Okay.
So.
Well,
yeah.
I can find my thing.
Sorry.
Psychic powers take five
million years.
Magic.
Psychic magic.
Magic.
Psychic mastery.
All right.
So you.
Yeah.
You can see the wounds
are five and complicated.
I said I can't
wrath that one either.
You absolutely could.
I will do.
You'll still get the
complication.
Psychic ability.
Nice.
There you go.
So nine.
You won't be able to do
any like power
like potency increases
on this,
but you can shape
flesh.
Yeah.
So I'll do that.
So you were getting
your resilience
as a zero.
Did bring up.
Was there a special psychic
thing I have to deal
with as well?
Ah,
no,
because you did
roll a one
and six.
So you're
actually good.
So wait,
roll me one
D six for the first
power.
That's right.
The weird psychic thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
One.
Yeah.
Okay,
we're good.
Okay,
perfect.
So here,
just roll me two D six
for the perils and we'll
just do the plus
plus ten to it.
Excellent.
I got a forty three.
So that'll be a fifty
three.
So your perils is
interesting.
Visions of possibility.
An awful droning
buzz surrounds you,
drowning out all speech.
The drone penetrates
the mind.
All creatures with
the psychic keyword
have to make
a difficulty
for intellect.
And if you fail,
you are staggered
and suffer
one D three
shock.
Ooh.
And this one
is a psychic,
right?
It is.
And it has a
it has an intellect
of one.
It fails.
Hooray.
And it complicates.
You can't
complicate on these
types of
the dream.
Shock is terrible
here.
Okay.
What's the matter?
Is the chaos
spawn have
terrible shock?
No.
Who knows?
Terribly traumatized
this creature
is like a million
fucking hit.
However,
if you succeed
the intellect test,
you do gain one
wrath.
Well,
just to make sure
that's for all of
us right now.
Roll.
No, just
just you.
It's psychers only.
Yeah.
You and it.
Oh, I have an
intellect of two.
Wonderful.
Yes.
So you could
roll six.
And then if you want
to roll the one
side.
All right.
You just take
one D three shock
from
all that shock
you gained.
I take it
away.
That's fine.
But I'll still
I'll still bring it
back.
Right.
Right back.
It's going
to go.
Okay.
I.
Yeah, it's
going to go,
which it will be
the last action
of the round.
It's going to take
its third action
this round for those
counting.
And it's going
to use its
tentacular attack
on you.
You've made
your inspiring speech.
You've rallied
the troops.
People are moving
around.
Lauren has got it.
And then these
tentacles just burst
out from the
ground in front
of you and come
to swipe at
you.
Okay.
Let's see
what happens.
Also,
Thursday.
Question.
Okay.
That initial
attack where it
wasted my ability
to have confidence
in myself for
those mortal wounds.
Yes.
I could have fucking
re-rolled them. I could have rolled the
termination because of my funny button.
Remember that
next time.
Good lord, I am terrible
and I do not hate.
Actually, wait, you're defense too, aren't you?
Yeah, but it's a melee attack, is it not?
Oh, that's right, so you've got your parry.
I'm going to hit him with the cheetah's shuffle.
I learned this technique.
Wait, no, you don't even need to
because it's
it's wounded.
You have a power sword which gives you
plus one parry, plus one defense.
Yeah, so you don't even need to do that.
Unless Thurston feels the need to
get back to the porch.
Oh no, I'm going to save those.
However, as we end
this round, the party seems to be
rallying against the awful creature.
How about we take our break here
and we'll come back?
We'll be back in five minutes.
Let's see if we survive.
See you in about five.
Don't go anywhere.
See you next time in the Glitter Dome.
Preserves.
Just apricot preserves.
That's pretty nice.
But have you considered a compote?
It's
but it's like
you can't use it for everything.
I mean, but you could
use it.
Yeah, like I've had like
oh, we have no jelly, so I'll have to get some apricot preserves.
On fish?
Well, not often
on fish. I mean, I suppose you could
eat that if you were like a psychopath.
Look, I mean, Greenland shark
is a it's an acquired taste.
Yeah, we're already in enough
jam as it is.
I think you're just joking.
Which one of you chuckle fucks is taking your action?
I want to hurt you, so let's get back into this.
I think I'll go.
Yeah, let's let Pice Brain go do it.
Pice Brain? Ah, fuck, I missed the joke.
All right.
I will take out
this Terminator
and
I am going to charge.
It's right
beside you, so you can't charge it.
Well, I'll leave and then come back.
Oh, okay.
Okay, I won't do that
because I actually
All right, fine.
Then I suppose, hmm, all out attack.
That'd be really funny, but it's always
almost always a terrible idea.
Ah, I'll just normal attack.
Okay.
Follow me, Oriath!
I'm wondering how this thing was made.
God.
All right.
That is going to be five successes.
You will
just hit with that.
You can't shift any.
Damn, that's rough.
All right, I will
I'm going to actually spend
glory in the tank for
an additional damage die here because this is a
brutal weapon.
All right, so let's roll it.
God, that's sad.
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
You rolled a two.
I did not roll very well.
Wait, hold on.
This is a brutal weapon after all.
So it does slightly more damage
than it looks like.
Yeah, I know.
I know!
Oh, yeah.
Okay, so you're right.
It doesn't matter at all.
Yeah, correct.
All right, well, in that case,
you can enjoy the somber
lovely taste of 16 damage
AP for.
That's good,
but still, like,
it could have been so much better.
It hurt.
It's not looking good.
You tear into the...
As you were sawing through.
And it looks like this thing, like,
you can see even the holy
sculpture on it almost glow
along its metallic and crafted hull,
giving off this holy aura as you saw
into the side of this thing,
watching the eyes and mouths and faces
on its flesh shift out of the way
as you dig into its horrific form.
It will go.
Okay, that's, like, its opinion.
It is its opinion.
It forms a wall of
claws from every
part of its being
that dives straight
towards you, each of them
as though ripping apart
and trying to tear you in
tens of thousands of directions.
Boop.
A five, which I
think... It does barely
hit, yeah. Barely hit.
He won't get to shift anything.
I'll take that, then.
Um...
Yeah,
I'll take that.
We'll just go into damage.
Okay.
Damage.
16 and AP minus 4.
Did the same thing back to you.
Great.
Well, that's fine, I guess.
Jack keeps family wounded.
I assume you already
adjusted for him.
Oh, oh, oh, no.
Yeah, you're right, you're right.
Okay, here, here, here.
One sec.
Here, I'll make...
I'll make it worse, I guess.
One, two, three, four, five.
Mark me down a rune point.
Oh, good.
Chad, you're really funny, you know that?
Thanks.
I mean, they're just looking at us here.
They're just looking out for me.
Oh, look, two more, so I still can't shift any...
Actually, no, I still can't shift anything.
So we're good, we're good, we're good.
All right, yeah, so that Mamma Mia
Pteria, that is quite a spicy meatball.
Let me just quickly calc how much
I'm going to need to try to soak.
All right, so that's 12 damage coming into me
on my home address.
Um, that's not great.
We're going to roll some determination.
Absolutely.
All right, we can soak...
We're going to soak five of it.
Keep me on one shock.
And that is going to...
Oh, we're going to have to go to zero shock
to be alive, I believe, because...
Yeah, I need to go to zero shock to be alive.
So I'm alive on one wound.
Okay, and as you, like, cling desperately to life
from this thing, I'm going to go to zero shock.
I'm going to go to zero shock.
I'm going to go to zero shock.
I'm going to go to zero shock.
I'm going to go to zero shock.
I'm going to go to zero shock.
It's like tearing apart.
Its many mouths speak to you
as it begins this rending attack.
And you just again hear,
this time not from the loudspeakers.
This time it's coming from the mouths,
from the hands, from the eyes,
everywhere off of this thing.
The metal man who must constantly prove himself,
lest the priests of water be right
in their assessment of your failings.
Can you ever return home?
Let's find out.
counter attack yeah okay
all right um this one
i've already been hit if i get hit again i'm down
um
ah fuck it whatever we'll just make it a normal
attack
let's go eight
there you go finally
there we go there we go
uh we will be able to shift three
okay
uh uh swell and dd dandy
let's go
for me
all right those three are
extra damage as well so that's going to be
16 plus 1 2 3 4 5
6 6 damage
so 22 damage
ap4
wait isn't that
16 damage and then
plus two more because there's two
you're right you're right you're right you're right right right yes
i'm so sorry i didn't realize it was immediately
calc'd in because i had to manually calc the threes
and shit yes so it should be 18
my apologies
cool
cool

, i don't mind if my attacks shit because like i'm not the damage dealer anyway but i'm gonna
let me see here
so if i were to a melee attack with one of the power the that power sword that i've
since absconded with from the last session not the last session with the last area
uh that would be a it would be minus four
yes um because i'd be doing two additional actions right
um
no because you have a natural meta case so
um i mean for the attack because doesn't it because i'm multi-actioning doesn't that reduce the
just by two just by two you take it just yeah because you're doing two actions because move
doesn't count oh so if i but you use i'm gonna do two metakays oh if you're gonna do two metakays
then yes minus four yeah okay good just wanted to make sure uh in that case i'm gonna swing at it
with that power sword at a minus four yeah okay
so that's a bonus minus four let's see if it actually plays ball with it this time don't
don't put the minus four on your stuff it's just increases it's basically the defense
you're hitting so you don't have to make any modifiers okay that's fine uh i don't i mean
whatever right yeah yeah five good okay yeah i will i will flail my power sword ineffectually
because i'm not worried about that i'm going to now unnatural medical okay i guess what uh oh wait no he's not
i'm not worried about that i'm going to now unnatural medicaid okay guess what uh wait no he's not жд
okay guess what uh wait no he's not жд
dying so it doesn't count uh i will medicaid pie yep unnatural medicaid uh two wounds to him with
that good enough all right pie you're on your own i'm going to run over to good luck man
when you move it does attack you fine i'm at full health uh it goes at you with with its mouth that
comes out in a clump of flesh towards you and tries to bite you in the air question power sword
out does that give me bonus plus one to your defense uh what does that put me at combat
not enough uh what will it put you at it'll put me at four which will only mean i can shift two
of these okay boop uh not reach resilience uh so 18 damage
so let's see
let me see here so
armor for no ap no ap so it'll go down to 14 14 and so i will now roll determination terrific
that's bad uh determination with three dice gets to me one so that's uh i can't take any
shock actually never mind oh yes i can i'm at full shock so i'll take it to four
four
that's still too much i'm at zero uh yeah so it it basically like takes this massive bite at you
as you try to disengage from it um like you can get the the the thought that it would like normally
terry like try to hold you in place but it can't because it's doing it as a reaction in this case
so you you just take this this like awful thing you stagger away and then basically fall prone
um as as this is
hit you um as as you take that it also does a trump or a memorable injury
like again this thing like this bite almost sears your your right side like you feel almost like a
burning acidic sense on where it has bit you in your side as you go skidding to the floor as you
run away from it all right so what's the injury specifically uh just just basically like a bite
mark but like it it feels like a burn and then you're like oh my god i'm gonna die i'm gonna die
burn on your side
chaos bite wound
how was it received
chaos spawn
then the spawn will go
no it won't because i'm going to interrupt
unless lord wants to interrupt
i had a question
i was just going to try to catch
oh sorry ask your question sorry
ebb
uh so since i can't reach zedek can i redirect that medicaid check to myself
uh yes i will i will allow it
sorry
okay cool uh so you'll get a uh the difficulty just increases by one but honestly it's not
going to matter much for you because you're mostly caring about the oh that's no good
uh wow actually it does matter because we're in a hard complication now is not the time for this
to be fucking up yep oh wow and you have like wow you guys are tapped on your points here
yeah uh all right so you'll get one wound back as you try to uh try to medicate yourself um
i get one point back but i complicate so why don't you tell me what that is
the complication what's a what would be a good guy do you have any suggestions of how you might
complicate here reeb any fun uh any fun patreon ones or uh no no no no i've not been using the
fun patreon ones to build up some some good ones also because you know spoopy serious time for this
arc um table why don't you just fuck me over and say i fail well i just why don't i just take one
extra hit point of damage and it's like ah
you you're healing yourself and then bleed out a bit from the wound on your side usually
if you need help usually complications are an unfortunate circumstance of what you're doing
so what we can probably say is that you are you're slowed because you stumbled or something
and you know hurt your angle or something you could always yeah you know what i'll say that
the complication is is you you still fall prone you get that the hit point back so you're not
dying but like you still fall prone is literally literally as it bites me and i'm put into dying
status yeah i feel myself before i hit the ground yes and then you land and you're like okay organ
still in places um i'm not out of range of it but now i'm at one hit point all right uh and then i
believe someone was interrupting correct yeah yeah so i think base zedek yeah so go forward
zedek if you want to mark that glory down zedek sure what are you doing uh captain zedek's going
to get closer to try and get as close as he can to reeb to try and defend him as he tries to get
away
get away from him you monster and zedek will lash out with his power arc our arc pistol i don't have
you're you're not a melee with this my super power arc pistol super pistol super pistol
kill gun okay okay okay absolutely it's gonna it's coming yeah it's not coming it's a super
roll
it's a super roll i probably should re-roll that you also do manage to parry off the attack from
the tendrils that were still in front of you yeah i should probably re-roll this uh but but it kind
it kind of messes you up with your shot so you you could re-roll if you want if you want to spend
that last wrath point although we did get some glory i could spend some glory i mean i'll allow
it party i feel like i'm gonna spend some glory i'm gonna spend some glory i'm gonna spend some
i feel like um keeping the glory on top is probably more important i agree all right i'm gonna wrap it
let's let's do it let's do it take that last wrath point captain zedek here we go shot six
it's gonna hit yep let's go it's gonna be 16 damage nice yeah it's like it's crackling this
thing is just wailing and thrashing about you can see it's almost lost like half of its mass
is just like it's just like it's just like it's just like it's just like it's just like it's just
struck into it um it is not looking uh like healthy anymore it's not looking confident
it's wailing it's it's it's thrashing against its material bodies uh like boundaries here
i'm sorry am i able to make a i think i did my simple action already
i think my my colleagues could benefit from a little healing word yeah that's correct
i'll i'll i'll allow your your your witty as long as you amuse me with it
i didn't think of a pun beforehand usually i have these on tap yeah i know
it's not fucking failures
oh fuck
let's keep this battle electrifying i don't know figure something out
spawn like ah let's this battle is going to chaos i don't know
you can go back to whatever mouth of hell you crawled out of you
nasty
all of its eyes you and are disappointed um brawls is a deuce yeah yeah yes i see you too
and i'm not interested roll your fellowship but you're reducing the total by two
i don't know saying nasty wasty did make me laugh
don't do no minus two roll ecstatic minus three it'll take no less
jeez
you restore nothing and make god have mercy that's not true oh wait oh fuck you no i restore one
wait no it's two because minus two and i get plus rank oh yes so it's technically four two
you restore two okay oh my god you shot back boys we're back in the game ah that'll that's
nasty wasty boy nasty that's all i got it's going again
all right let's see what the nasty wasty boy does oh its eyes are still on pi brain
hey use that use that like a couple hit points i gave back to you or whatever i'm gonna try god
damn it um it is it is like unleashing a torrent of psychic energy as all of the eyes and grasping
hands begin to glow with spectral light and seem to act like this thing is a focusing lens of the
warp into you pi brain
oh fuck ah that will be a seven um let's see here
um fuck it i'm gonna spend a rune point on this mark me down one please
that was your last one it is my last one
um
there we go okay
too good um it goes in and and begins to sear into your stall doing d3
plus one mortal wounds to you by brain
so take three mortal wounds
ah can i uh soak with the determination
nope they're mortals
ah i'm down
okay so that puts you dying
yes
Okay, also give me a
conviction test. Difficulty three.
I...
I'm going to spend two glory on this
conviction test. Take it.
Go for it.
Six.
Okay, you hold your
conviction against the pure warp
light that is streaming
into you as you feel it
going through not only your
corporeal body, but your
machina
essence, your
code that supports the various
parts of your body.
Okay, I believe that
brings us to a lorn.
Yes.
Okay.
I'm trying to calculate all the garbage that I have
gone, because I'm sustaining two powers right now.
Yes.
So the sustaining two will give you
a plus two, because you can sustain one for free
with the thing you took.
There's just a plus two difficulty to do the thing.
And I feel it is
now, and the main reason to do
Deny to Witch, because basically
if I did it then, then I wouldn't be able to damage
this thing, but even if saving him, it still
would totally mess him
up. So it's
a combination of like, I'm just going
to stand here the entire encounter kind of
deal. All right.
So I have to make a decision. Do I do crush
or molten beam?
Because I'm thinking molten beam, because the issue
with crush is that I'm pretty sure this thing has
the strength to basically break out of it immediately.
So I'm not going to mess with that.
So, so
molten beam is going to be the thing.
Here we go, boys.
Fire your molten bean.
Fire the bean, fire the bean, bean, bean, bean, bean.
We have beans inbound.
Beans?
You just want to be a going to do, you'll basically see.
Tactical bean inbound.
You'll basically see small Lauren basically
come up, bring his, bring his hands
together
with his new found body
that he has now acquired.
And then you'll hear him go
call me
on me.
And then you'll basically
see him go.
And I rolled
an eight. That should be all the things.
Can you roll me 2d6, please?
2d6
it goes.
Oh, 65.
Okay, no, no, no.
So you get another wrath on that.
So you actually get a 10 against it.
Excellent.
Which would allow you to shift the two.
No problem if, or for potency, I suppose.
Yeah.
So one more additional damage die, I will be rolling.
If I remember correctly, because we had to edit this so many times.
And then we will roll a die mod.
What?
What?
Oh, it will be 20.
Yeah.
I also would like to pump, if it's okay with everybody,
at least two glory into it to do two more additional damage.
That's fair.
Yeah.
Do it up.
There we go.
So it is in total 22 points of damage.
Now you have to go run and a ginormous fiery beam goes forth to him.
It hits it in its back, searing it.
And like instinctively, all of the eyes come off of Pipe Brain.
And rotate around towards you, though they're now moving around erratically.
This thing is very rapidly reducing, reducing, reducing.
There's this, there's this moment of, of like panic from this entity now, as you can see it.
It's, it's holding on with every little bit to its corporeal existence, but it is still alive.
And it's going to take its third action for the round.
And it's third action.
Fire the beam.
Um, well, it used its claws.
It's going to burst up a cluster of tentacles, uh, as it's now, like, focused its, like, eyesight on Lorne.
It's bursting up a cluster of tentacles at Pipe Brain.
Ah!
Uh, he's dying.
To try to finish him off.
As they emerge and begin to just descend on you, Pipe.
As this thing has, has already ripped you and seared you with psychic energy.
Mm.
Uh.
I believe that fails.
Yeah.
I rolled a five for audio people.
Yeah.
So.
Yeah!
Ah!
Because your defense with you act, wait.
Yeah.
Your defense right now is what?
Uh, it should be five.
You don't have your sword out, though.
Oh, shit.
No.
In that case, it does equal my defense then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Um, and then...
Le Damage.
Does ten points of damage.
Uh.
What?
It's not that bad.
Like, a wound.
Uh, well, I am at no wounds, which is bad, but I do have, uh, Determination, Outer
Wazoo.
Do you have any shock left?
Yes.
Okay.
He has lots of shock.
Good.
Oh, I don't have lots, but I have enough to take that.
So I take one shock.
Okay.
Perfect.
Um.
Ah!
Ah!
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That, uh, that...
You are a monster!
You can't hurt me in a way that matters!
The tentacles are just moving around you, slapping and, like, slithering around your
mechanical form, but that is it for the third round.
We now come to the fourth round.
Who would like to go first?
I will probably take it at the top of the round, being at the center of the blast zone.
Would you prefer that I heal you instead?
No, because then he'll act, and he can wipe out what you heal me for.
Okay.
So if he, if he, uh, whaps me, then I'm...
If I get hit with a...
What are your options, exactly?
Because you are dying, and you're in melee, so if you try to leave, he'll get you any.
Well, I'm not going to...
Pi never leaves melee.
Okay.
She stays in it until someone falls down.
If you try to attack him, then it'll be his turn where he hits you.
Well, the thing is, is that if I attack him and then he uses his turn to fuck off,
then, uh, and also if he hits me, then I get the counterattack off, whereas if he leaves
on his turn and then hits me, then it's harder.
I'm trying to optimize damage!
Your, your assumption is that it will try to leave.
It might.
I don't know.
Can I, can I please just heal you?
At least often.
Wouldn't that require you to, wouldn't that require you to get within range of a
tentacle, and then get fucking bapped again?
I have enough hit points I can go into dying again.
You said that before.
You went into dying.
I don't want you to die.
I don't want you to die.
Listen, dying is just the step you take before you die.
That doesn't make it feel better!
It's better than dying.
If you would like, I will allow you to heal me, since I don't want you to sit on your
hands.
And it might save my ass.
Thurston?
Yes?
How many Medicaid actions can I take in a turn?
You can only Medicaid a person once.
It, Medicaid is kind of like-
I don't want to save a person, I mean like, multiple.
Oh, as many as you want.
Everyone increases the difficulty.
You can unnatural, your unnatural, uh, talent, like, somewhat reduces that.
But, um.
I don't, cause based on the wording of unnatural Medicaid, it doesn't dictate that, uh, if
I'm able to use it multiple times, uh, Medicaid multiple times.
When using the test with the selected skill, reduce any difficulty modifiers by double
your rank.
It says two against zero.
So double my rank?
Yeah.
So that would be six.
Yes.
So you could do up to six without any penalties on the Medicaid, yeah.
So I, so I, I really can just do three with no penalty.
Yes.
Now the problem is, is you can't like, like, you can move Watts and do, like, so you could
Medicaid yourself, move, Medicaid.
If there were two people adjacent, you could like, Medicaid yourself, move, Medicaid, Medicaid,
which is totally okay.
But aren't I next to Zedek right now?
Hm?
I'm next to Zedek?
Yeah, you are.
You are actually next to Zedek.
That is correct.
Then I would like to Medicaid him, Medicaid me, run Medicaid Pi.
Absolutely.
Cool.
Do it up.
All right, folks.
Here the fuck we go.
It's time for this fun thing to happen.
Uh, you're not dying, right?
No.
Okay.
So I will just heal you normally.
Oh, that's right.
I was dying last time.
I didn't add two.
Oh, well.
That's okay.
Uh, Medicaid you for seven.
Oh, thank you.
So you get, well, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get, you get,
you get, you get a...
Well, not seven total.
Seven hitpoints, but I get a seven on the tomorrow.
So you'll get two hitpoints back Zedek.
Good enough.
Okay.
Or two wounds.
Two wounds.
I am also not dying.
Thank you Qara, I appreciate your existence.
I'm going to Medigame myself...
...for a five on that test, so that's one, I think.
Yep.
Fine enough, that puts me at two hit points.
Good.
Then rush over to the, the broken down Pi brain.
Again.
sprinting over there i'm i'm not i'm not in melee range going out i'm going into melee range is that
okay absolutely i mean is it a problem uh no no no no it's like you can move into melee and do
your thing okay play brain he gets two because of courage and toolkit uh how much shock do you have
one can i stim him as well as medicaid uh that would be another action okay so
like theoretically yes because you tech oh wait no that would be another action then i would have
then i would have then you'd have penalties yeah yeah no so in that case i roll medicaid on you
you get 10 and a glory so you get five wounds back uh you get more than that because i had
oh because you no no no no remember it's it's three and then it's only based on the shifts
oh only the shifts yeah yeah so it's it's five you get the one and then the numbers there you
can shift
berndale if it couldn't make anything more perfect that was the dulcet tones of the struggle
bus passing by yeah all right yeah i'm fine with this action honestly unnatural medicaid has
already paid for itself multiple times over so that was very much that was quite nice yeah
he's the healer all right uh i'm gonna go yeah no you're not i'm gonna wrap up oh okay
cool
all righty i would love to do the stupid charge thing but sadly my charge food doesn't work here
you can't charge in melee yeah so in that case i will just attack once more with the sermonizer
oh good three really that's that's it
please currently not hit oh my god i can't i don't have wrath i can use glory oh yeah i got a wrath yeah let's not do that please
oh shit the eight so i clicked it twice so yes okay i'll shift the two sure and i'm going to
you know what this guy's on death's door right i mean maybe he looks very weak now like he looks
like he's struggling to maintain his form you know i keep asking as though you're gonna yeah okay
i'm just gonna use four glory to get the brutal like that's the thing i do with basically so how
wounded are you player character like i feel like a two out of fourteen yeah two out of fourteen
all right let's go
oh my god that's cool that's cool it's still good it's like you continue to sign to it
it's good but still look at all those tiny bad numbers i know wow what the
hell i'm curious it is struggling to hold on to everything that would be 18 yep
struggling it's still around damn kill it let me get him let me get him oh he's gonna attack
um he's gonna go uh because you can't interrupt twice in a row so oh wait can i i have a question
what can i as a simple action after that attack stow my eviscerator and take out my power sword
um so
that would that would kind of cheapen that wouldn't it i yeah yeah probably yeah yeah
then you could just do that every turn and you're right i haven't really been
you for like drawing weapons at all this combat immediately immediately i went immediately to
like the fucking warhammer 40k competitive play mindset of like people that would use that to
say stuff so no no the answer is no and
response i'm going to hit you both speaker yes that line of thinking is just whack i'm gonna get
you i'll get you bitch you can all increase your shock by two he regained that penalty from earlier
with that yeah i'm shocked a natural shit poster let's get it um and then i am going to uh hit both
of uh you
um this will your defense will go up by two for each of these but he is clawing into both of you
with a multi-attack reeb and uh reeb and um pie brain starting with pie brain amber his wounded
condition yep uh it doesn't matter over that much for him well it wouldn't be enough to only shift
two yes which i will do
so 16 hard work why don't you well i will
go over again now wait what i wasn't坏 but let's just spend time on the
safe end the safe end has been fully dealt with you have been millones with me
um
let's not talk about it that is not great for me part because it imbedded
everything wait to die
in fact it's only going to last very long
that it is already long enough to kill you
okay
uh
uh and reeb as it does this all of its eyes is like focused on you and it just speaks in this
again voice that is now like gasping like it's it's struggling like oh one who always speaks
with the voices of others and yet cannot is cannot find his own authority do you even know
who you truly serve and it like attempts to slash out towards you um uh so let me let me ask the
question here so i'm up by two it's down by how much it's down by one because it's wounded
and i have my power sword out so what's yeah what's your base defense my base is three so
that'd be plus two so that puts me at six that fails uh wait your base is three you get plus
one for your power sword
so
four yep plus two because multi-attack uh yes correct yes correct and it does anything it's
wounded yep so it does miss you um all right and i will figure out a but make your counter attack
because this might not this might not be a big deal yeah also complicated i can't do that all
right let's go five
five weapon gets stuck um five that will just hit this oh wait you're using the sermonizer aren't you
yes so that will miss because you take the additional penalty because it's the unwieldy
what if i spent some glory i mean you certainly can well then let's uh you guys i'd be terribly
offended if i spent the rest of the glory making sure this thing's not gonna hit i would be
offended yes yes i'll allow you to take like two or three
okay i'll take three that yeah no we we are judging you now oh no that'll skadoodle your
dices now three oh oh that's right that's good enough that'll hit yes a total a glorious total
of nine all right well you get to shift anything uh you can shift one lovely yes all right this
one's gonna do it well oh god
fine so uh it doesn't a piece of what it does it you tear this thing down the middle with your
weapon however do you remember all the possessed you've fought on this ship before yeah
what happens
yeah
murdered
all of those
it's kind of a lot of fun
it's kind of a lot of fun
it's going to blow up i know
yes yes
that's why i stayed away and the brazilian stuff
um the only ones in range for this will be reeb and zedek
or sorry reeb not zedek
fuck you zedek
theric energy washes over you pybrain is fucking fine um
this is a kind of brutal explosion my apologies in advance um
can i kind of like do some fucking falco bullshit and throw my refractor field out to
guard somebody oh sorry i did that wrong okay what are you talking about i don't i don't
understand smash i don't know how he does the shield thing that's just bullshit
four uh okay so that will deal 14 points of damage to both ap no no way
as this thing explodes in a blast of warp light so i have eight resilience and four
so that's
so i got i take 10 damage i guess i'll i guess i'll termination okay
uh terrific uh i can take one that i take
nine
nine wounds okay yeah i'm at zero and i'll be taking five wounds
chet is saying something about a dm complication
okay people really get really antsy on this stuff it complicated and the weapon got stuck
oh on the slide oh cool yeah yeah sorry sorry the weapon got stuck there but then he blew up so
that that was it we we already resolved that uh gm i got a
really
unfortunate question to ask you how much can i go from alive to dead or do i have to go from dying
to dead i know you go from alive to dead basically what happens is is you go from alive to dead and
then if you take damage while you are dying um then that increases the severity of injuries
you take no i mean i meant like can i go what is the threshold for dying again
oh i think it's like double your starting wounds or something oh shit i think
so let's find out i think it's yeah if you get uh hit with like so like i have eight right so if i
uh accounting for resilience took 16 damage yes uh then i would just instantly die yeah um yeah
here's the problem i was at one hit point yeah no no it's your maximum it's not your what your
current is yeah you're fine you're fine no but like i took nine yeah what's your what's your
total wounds though eight yeah i would have to do 16 to kill you to die i'm just done good so
you're you're you're you're just dying now which is usual dying as usual uh my brain um you will
take damage but you're already dying correct yes yeah so i take five damage i could soak for more
but um so instead you you're gonna take a traumatic nebulous sometimes okay uh so this
explosion will do a traumatic injury as this warplane
blasts
over you like an explosion uh hitting you in the torso both of them um which this is a severe
injury that stays with you um it crushes your chest your any of your human organs that are
still in there including your mechanical support are crushed any toughness tests you take from now
on have a plus one difficulty penalty minimum
do i not
take any of that you don't because you you just go into dying so you take basically like a
memorable injury which in your case is going to be you get a battle scar like you just get a scar
from this whereas pie has now taken he's already taken his memorable injury this is the traumatic
injury as your your chest plate is just indented from this blast and then there is the the screams
of thousands of voices that then just echo and then you're like oh my god i'm gonna die i'm gonna
briskly get out of here engage attendants anyway how one piece does well forейчас
so i just want to open that hair basket yeah could you please make a talk down the inside
positions in the bedroom and stop leaving you alone in the
strategium that is now bereft of anyone else
sprout
i rush i rush forward as this i'm going the pie you haven't seen the thing
explode running towards him better go past him and go down to rave and go rave rave rave
and go reap okay please no don't encourage him to become general grievous please
uh but yes lord you rush to read you rush to read
i don't think there's any way i can actually help them unless you're gonna allow me to do
regeneration uh no no no no but you don't need to like at this point you're out of combat like
it's not like they're bleeding out or anything now that the immediate threat is is reeb can
essentially just like medicay uh out of combat some of you back up but there's no immediate
threat so like reeb can get up he's he's wounded uh but he's not like going to continue to die
at this point i am i have finally accrued two memorable injuries and it's really funny
excellent good
yeah i help up and i didn't walk over to piberry and help him up
captain zedek will have rushed over to pi to save this poor dying lad
you magnificent bastard you can't you can't leave us that easily
i will not but i do need space because my internals are satisfied it's not great
i can see that reeb in a minute
oh god you're still alive
hello medicay
yes of course
just gonna stick your thumb in your mouth and pop the vents back out
uh yeah you'll get a wound back which is all you can do out of combat like that
that's fine for me
uh will you go over to pi and attempt to
okay let's see about fixing some of this
no
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no no no no
oh
oh yeah oh i was dying so excuse me for sticking
lorn as this is going on
okay loren as this is going on you notice something floating in the air near whoa cheesem
uh yeah i'll get that role in this lot floating in the air though right where that that
creature used to be is this
like maybe
inch rip
in reality.
This bit of unlight
that floats there.
I need to see it floating in the air.
Would I know anything of it?
You
could tell that this is some kind
of etheric phenomenon.
You could try to
sinuscience it if you want.
I would like to.
Yeah, yeah. And while you're doing
that, just to relay it for everyone,
Reeb rolled a
12 on a Medicaid check
to heal Pi, so we'll heal Pi five wounds
back.
He's also dying, so you get two extra, right?
Yeah. Let me roll that.
Okay.
Yeah.
I pull out the
Inquisitorial Ding King and fix the damage.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
You're still having
difficulty breathing, Pi. This is
really, like, again, long-term
damage to your internal...
Come on, again.
And, and, and, Lorne, yeah, with your
sinuscience, you complicate now. Sinuscience
before chat worries.
You can't complicate
sinuscience. So, all you can
really tell is that there is, like, a small
fracture in real space.
This
could have long-term repercussions
if you, like, fucking stayed around here way,
way too long, but right now it's just this
stable tear.
Could I try to...
potentially take some time and repair it,
knowing... because I suspect if I
leave this alone, it could
really tear even more and
cause some really bad juju, possibly
absorbing the entire ship?
Absolutely. So, so
that would be, that would be, like, a longer-term
psychic mastery, where you would, like,
do some stuff. Now, since
we're getting into some, like, longer-term, the,
obviously, the immediate threat seems to be
abated at this point. So...
the Medicaid's
done. I'm getting the impression, Lorne,
you want to spend some time working on this.
Absolutely.
Seems like there might be a time crunch
with this. Seems like there might be a time crunch overall.
What are
the rest of you doing? And I'm going to start with you,
Pybrain. What are you going to do after
you kind of get the immediate
wounds out and
have a chance here?
All right. I will be
holstering my
eviscerator, which has served me well,
but I have seen
merits of the Muri,
and technology as well.
I am going
to then,
after making sure my shit is reloaded
in case another thing attacks,
I am going to head to the Kachatator,
and by
the Messiah, I will
gain access.
You will not deny a priest
of the Mechanicants!
Basically, long-term work on that.
Perfect. Reeb, what are you going to be doing?
Reeb
is going to
make sure that no one is watching him, if that's
possible, just, like, letting everyone do about their
business, and he's going to slink away
to the
command
console, probably the one that would,
like, direct the ship.
Like, go over to the throne,
which is, you know, back to everyone
so you could get there and people wouldn't
really notice. Precisely.
Yeah. I'm going
to see about
maybe
plotting a collision.
Of course.
With what?
You know, the funny
other ship that is
threatening us with its big guns.
Okay, okay, okay.
Perfect. You're going to go to Captain
Zedek.
Captain Zedek will be,
I suppose, helping
Kai get to the console, since he's
greatly concerned about this poor
dying Skitarii.
And possibly looking for anything
to bring back the deck collector.
Or salvage from this horrible,
horrible ship on their way out.
Trophies! Absolutely.
Alright, so what we're going to do is
we're going to start in the order I think
most appropriate here. We'll start with
Pybrain and Captain Zedek as you were, like,
madly, uh, Pybrain trying to get
command of the ship in some way, shape,
or form. I believe your secondary
that you'd previously stated was you were trying to
find any, like, information on
DaFuckerB and, uh,
his involvement on this ship.
Yeah, we came here to find
out what's going on with that guy, and I'm
going to unravel this conspiracy
if it kills me! Absolutely!
Give me a, uh,
give me a tech check. And, uh,
Hulky is going to give you a,
uh, just a flat plus two bonus to
this from his assistance. Oh, nice!
Inspiring words. Alright.
I'm going to spend two, uh, glory on this
as well, since this is quite
important. I believe.
Alright.
Alright.
Uh, nine
successes.
And a complication.
Absolutely.
Alright.
You are not able
to, as you guessed, gain
command of the ship. And, in fact, your
attempts to do so have
initiated several, like,
high-security lockdown procedures
as you've tried to brute force.
Because I believe your tech
use is very similar to your combat
style. Uh, brutal and
upfront. Yeah, he is
confrontational. Yeah.
Yeah. Um, so you
are, you are not quite able. And, in fact, you, you
trigger some stuff which might have some, some
consequences down the line for, like, Reeb,
who is trying to do some things. Uh, but
you do find some, some information on
one Sleherbergo de Fakrby,
the 24th of his name. Ah, good.
What you are able to determine,
uh, is that
this
vessel, the Carillon,
had rendezvoused
with an
Adeptus Arbidus,
this security
station,
on its way back
from its latest
mission of, again, sort of
preaching the word of the Emperor to
the masses at the edges of his
space. There,
they were requisitioned
by
ambassadorial authority
to transport de Fakrby
and his associates
along their path back
to the Fimbria system.
Shortly after
picking up de Fakrby,
the vessel was attacked
by Eldari
Corsairs.
However,
those Corsairs were beaten
back since the vessel was already
reaching the, the mandible
point and able to translate into the warp.
Uh, the records of that indicate
that
it was a very, very brief
skirmish, only a few borders,
made it on board, they were cleaned
up. You, in fact, see that all of
the Xenos, uh, influence on
the vessel was removed with a
citation of a malfunctioning
door between
the Medicaid facility
and the Strategium, which
was something that was marked to be fixed once they
went into dry dock.
This also
correlates as to
Lieutenant Arnaud's position
because whilst you could
open it from your side, the door was
not accessible from the other side.
So, you detect all of this,
learn all of this. The Carillon
then translated into the Fimbria system.
It then
made its way
towards Fimbria Majoris.
Along the way,
Slaburgo de Fakrby
and his cohorts
decided to
requisition one of the vessel's
two shovels.
There's
complete logging of this.
The shuttle departed and made its
way out of the ship.
Roughly
30 minutes after the
shuttle departed,
the captain executed a
warp jump without
raising the Geller fields
within the system.
The translation into the warp lasted
approximately
30 seconds to a minute
before the ship
retranslated back into real space.
.

.
.
.
.
.
I have very good news.
I no longer need an excuse to murder Tevhakavi.
Now we can just do it.
As this is going on, Reeb, you are going to try to plot a course with this vessel, is that correct?
Yes, what do I have to roll for that?
What skill are you looking to- I'm assuming you want to try out some sort of tech thing.
I am no captain of any ship.
I'm looking to- we have no crews to help dedicate anything.
I presume I can have control of the ship from this panel, would be my guess.
It is a situation where as you're looking at it, you would still need access codes that you don't have.
What can I do from this panel?
You can give me a tech check to find out.
I'll give you a four, is that sufficient?
You're not able to get any kind of control.
You're not able to remove an Imperial vessel with a four on tech.
But you are able to tell now that Pybrain has locked out all of the command functions with his brute force's attempts at hacking.
You're also seeing the spatial grid around the Carillon and the basic Auspex sweeps.
And you can see the vessels, the Marengo in the distance, and then opposite the debt collector.
But you also see some small pings that are now moving from-
From the Marengo towards your position.
Can...
Hmm.
I wonder if this is a stupid idea or not.
Can I look into any sort of store-
Like, I can't obviously direct the ship, because I don't have control access to that.
Correct.
What...
I'm not going to shoot the weapons.
I want to know, what is the ammunition like on this ship?
It looks like it's actually very minimal.
There were some weapon batteries.
And, like, a Prowl torpedo launcher.
The torpedoes appear to be out, and some of the weapon batteries are damaged.
But you do not have any access.
Well, not to the weapons.
Can I have access to the ammunition storage?
You can detect that there's some ammunition there, but, like, you don't have any access.
Again, like, this...
Imperial ships do have enough basic stuff to prevent someone from getting on the bridge and, like, very quickly, you know, detonating ammo.
Right.
But you're now seeing this, like...
The biggest thing you're getting with your tech check is something is now pinging towards you.
Gentlemen, it appears the Marengo has had enough of our idling and is now sending individuals to come and check on us,
or is likely sending torpedoes to destroy the ship.
I cannot tell, because certain someone has been hammering his head on a control console.
You're welcome.
Oh, that's bad.
Let's talk to Lorne real quick.
Lorne!
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
I sure can.
Yeah.
I have no wrath time, so that's a five.
Okay, yeah.
A five is enough for you to get a handle on this tiny breach.
You're not quite able to close it, but you're like,
Sort of moving your hands in ways to feel the ether around this
and sense the presence of the imiterium.
This is like warp taint.
This is not a good weird in your eyes.
This is an ominous thing.
A danger I detected as.
I will basically sit cross-legged
and begin to basically meditate
and highly concentrate on this rift.
As everybody else does their thing.
Yeah, so like, I think cinematically
how this is playing out is
you're obviously getting this sense early on
while Pi Brain is working on his cogitator console,
Reebs at the command,
Deus, Zedek's helping out Pi.
As you start to see what's going on,
you sit down and enter this meditation.
Your eyes are open and everything around you gets still.
We don't really hear any words from anyone around you,
though you can see,
that Reeb has now got up off the throne
that is shouting there is pointing between Pi and Reeb.
Clearly a continuation of their discussion
of the lockout of command systems.
So you don't hear any of that.
You are like, the camera's taking your perspective
and zooming in on this tiny little slit in reality.
And you are attempting to blot out the shouts
and gesticulations of your comrades
as you stare at this.
This little pinprick of unlight
that floats where once this horrific abomination was.
And as you focus, everything becomes clear.
Everything seems right.
And then you hear,
oh, hi there.
I didn't think I'd see you guys again.
Oh, you son of a bitch.
It's you.
The fuck are you doing here?
Well, you know, that's a funny story.
I'm Sean, by the way.
It's been a while.
I know who the fuck you are.
You should probably get out of there.
I'm seeing some of the ripples
and I think you're getting shot with torpedoes.
And I kind of like you
and hope you can make it out there.
Good.
Well, if you like us so much,
I'm insane what you've been capable of doing.
Then how about you bring us back to our ship?
Oh, I can't do anything like that.
I mean,
you'd have to wish me there.
Do you wish me there?
Oh, Lord, who are you talking to?
I look back at him.
I look back at the scenario.
I'm sure everything's still deaf because we're just kind of closed in.
How?
Like at this point, you've kind of like you've kind of taken yourself out of the trance
and you can see like Reeb and Pi at this point, I assume Reeb and Pi are like up and just shouting.
Oh,
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
I look at you and I'm like,
How are you here to manage to lock him?
You always complain, you know, you're in a poison.
I'll go find the access codes.
You're the tech priest.
Unlock it.
Well, we get check, priests make the security system.
I find the security code.
I was really hoping you would tell me if the torpedoes were like getting
real close and what the torpedoes are.
That'd be pretty neat.
We don't know what they are, we don't know.
So do you, do you say that?
Like, do you say that aloud?
and i go the fuck is that over there tell me what is coming
oh i think he's gotten insane again
what's going on what is something approaching i went back into the demon obviously abandoning
like yeah you're now you're now staring and like before you meditated to make this conversation
much like pie brains tactics you are now brute force using your psychic powers to make this
conversation continue in a non-meditating state in fact like it's almost like you're reaching into
that tiny slit and slightly opening it with your psychic form just to like allow conversation to
happen uh and and you just hear hear the voice come back to you uh in your mind oh yeah looks
like they're making their way i mean it might take an hour or two i don't know if you'll have
enough time
to get out of there you might though what do you mean might well if you ran i mean i i don't know
how fast you can move you might be able to make it through the ship we go hmm it's like i'm like
i'm yelling at a bucket to come back out going hey did we turn the power to the tram oh yeah
yeah okay cool later nerd i close the warp thing and go we gotta go those are torpedoes
as you
the rift closed like okay bye good luck
i do not how do you know the torpedoes what's going on it's what fucker i just know we need
to fucking leave let's go i get like i i imagine i wouldn't know where the tram is and everything
else i fucking run wait wait and then i'm gonna press download and i'm just gonna download a copy
of that video footage onto my computer and i'm gonna go to my computer and i'm gonna go to my
computer and i'm gonna go to my computer and i'm gonna go to my computer and i'm gonna go to my
computer and i'm gonna go to my computer and i'm gonna go to my computer and i'm gonna say
yeah absolutely just one two okay now okay now like as like lauren okay we're gonna we're gonna
go cinematic here because i didn't describe it earlier i'm imagining minds of style of just
fucking running uh here's what's gonna happen first of all the doors of the strategium are
closed but lauren even though i technically should have indicated that the the mutation
wore off at the end of the car it hasn't
and in fact you come to these doors and with with your allies still taking their time your
strongest member pi brain focusing on the terminal you even with your strength of two
rush the door in an attempt to open it you go boom and like as you you like grab with your your like
even larger than a starty's bulk uh into the door frame and pull the two doors these two immense
golden uh frames as you do so this energy this this mutation is leaving your body and you you
are slowly like losing the muscle mass you are you are losing that size but you push and push
and push until the doors both go flying off slamming into their side outcomes you fall down
back to your original size breathing heavily as you have used the last of that horrific warp taint
and excised it from your body in one display of
physical prowess and then everyone else starts running up to you as you make your way towards
the tram we gotta go go go go go go go go go i internally thinks that was really impressive
i guess he must have found a button all right let's go
yeah like you you're you're all like running and and we see this sort of lumen
flickering as you make your way through that that gilded hall uh with the murals of the emperor you
make your way down the stairs you you get into the tram as you do so you can see in the distance
hordes and this time the horde is numbering possibly in the hundreds some of them with
weapons others not but but they're so far away they can't even shoot you from here as you rush
into the tram uh and and activate it sending it careening down the spinal side of the vessel
and as it is moving you feel the first shudders of impact on the carillon um and and the lumens
of the ship and as you are moving down this tram that is taking its way uh bringing you to the to
the rear of the ship where your shuttle awaits you get these flashes of light that display these
horrifically possessed moaning masses that are turning and reaching towards you before
disappearing as as the tram just zips by and eventually it docks at the opposite end of the
station giving you only a few moments of reprieve and you can tell that all of the the awful
abominations that had been in the aft of the ship where you'd encountered them had stopped and you
were able to get out of the ship and you were able to get out of the ship and you were able to get
out of the ship and you were able to get out of the ship and you were able to get out of the ship
and you were able to get out of the ship and you were able to get out of the ship and you started
to move towards the front in an effort to reach you so now the back of the vessel is bereft of
anything well this would be an excellent time to marvel the architecture if we didn't have to get
the fuck out of here let's go i'm gonna go a hop on top of my brain's back and tell him to go
i carry the lorne i'll throw it i need to we are all running you you continue running you
continue running you enter into the into the shuttle bay another shuddering
you're shaking the vessel you can even see the stars starting to move you hear the sounds of
explosive detonations uh far from behind you as something has clearly struck the prow of the
vessel uh you see your arvis lighter there waiting for you i'm tapping zedek on the shoulder with my
staff on that contact contact the boy contact the boy on the ship of the thing that start the
engines start the engines we need it let me have that thing revved up and ready to go
there's no point there's just a server there's just a server that we already
the engine
zedek raises wrist up to his mouth servitor turn the ship on we've gotta go now
the servitor responds go go go get to the shuttle
tech priest gamu 4224 has indicated that there are additional problems i grab zedek's like wrist
and yell and going i don't give a fuck what
who says we're going and then just slam his wrist and i and i and i whip pie brain in the back
going faster faster i'm gonna get on all fours i'm just gonna be jumping over terrain crawling
over it with my claws at the ready we're going yeah and like all of this is happening in like
the camera sort of does this parallel shot of you running through the deck and like opposite
is just the like downed form of one of the cherubs that has fallen on the ground and we
we see you and we're like oh my god we're going to die we're going to die we're going to die we're
running through the shuttle bay from one of its cracked eye lenses your reflections of all of you
boarding the back of the shuttle and we see the debris raining from the top of the vessel
uh as as it's now taking massive structural damage and as soon as you get it um i'm assuming captain
zedek you are pushing that servitor you're like you can't trust this to a servitor you're going
in yourself you're putting your piloting to the test here is that right of course i'm gonna deck
that servitor just basically kill it as a push
get out of the way i don't need you yeah you you take that that half living being and just
disconnected get in the pilot see check everything give me a piloting test that i
totally think you can do i believe in you captain and if you fail then we all die
captain zedek you have this moment you see like you jump slide in push the servitor down
get the get the
shuttle revving you you take off and again all of this is kind of happening in this like
monocle reflection of one of the cherubs that's staring and we see the shuttle take off and its
engines go and shoot you out into the void and as you fly off into the void one of the struts of
the the landing bay completely collapses and we see the the impacts now from from the shuttle
outside the vessel as torpedoes waves of torpedoes are smashing smashing into the front of the
ship and the damage is rippling through its spine the vessel is shuddering your your shuttle is
making its way far out from this vessel captain zedek you can you can see it now as as it is
exploding fire rippling across it it's its entire bow waving and weaning and then in a single moment
something strikes a critical system a weapons a reactor it's impossible to tell but there is
there is a
there is a brief new sun that explodes into being for just a moment luckily the arvis is equipped
with with visual dampeners that protect all of you but there's just this massive flash of light
and then this sound as your shuttle is rocked and as this is happening and you are hearing and
experiencing this you you you then hear this cry this this scream of something that has existed for
eons and seconds at the same time
that washes over you before the carillon is no more and you are flying in space
mission accomplished
uh another happy landing you got the landing well yeah lauren i knew that ship is horrible
it knew it was we were in there it hadn't
it knew it was we were in there it hadn't
it knew it was we were in there it hadn't
reason to fire torpedoes at it, especially if they were going to salvage it. I don't
know. Suggest you hail the debt collector, for I fear that we might have to battle fairly
soon.
Instinctively, Captain Zedek, as Lorne puts these thoughts in your mind, you check the
aspects of the Arvis, which are basic, but give you some idea of the tactical overview,
and you can see the vessel, the Marengo, that has started to break off and is moving
away.
Captain Zedek will hail the debt collector.
Hello, Captain.
Or did you make it?
Is everyone all right?
We're all here.
We have to prepare the Medicaid.
Yes, yes, prepare the Medicaid.
Okay.
But the dear Captain LaCroix.
LaCroix has decided that our mutual engagement is no longer mutual.
Please ready weapon batteries and fire upon the fleeing Marengo.
Captain, they're well out of range.
If we fire, it'd strictly be, well, at this point, just a just a ceremonial display.
We need better guns.
I need to kill that damn ship.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We live.
We live.
We live.
We live.
We live.
We live.
I'm going to put my hand on Zedek's shoulder.
Zedek.
Yes, spy.
You were one of the only people not to be at all startled at the sight of that terrible
creature.
And it was thanks to your leadership we were able to prevail.
You have always been a friend to this servant of the Mechanicus.
And I will see to it that if we are ever able,
I will do everything I can to help you.
I will do everything I can to help you.
I will do everything I can to help you.
everything in my power to make sure
you get
what you need
for the debt collector.
I embrace him further.
I will make sure you get
a big zappy gun,
a big, big ship,
big, big one.
Woo big!
And as you shout out woo big
and embrace,
Zedek, you land the lighter
on the embarkation deck
of the debt collector.
The back door
hisses open.
What are you all gonna do now?
Captain Zedek's
gonna return Pie's embrace with one of those
manly, like, power handshakes
and just, like, grapple his hand
and just let him know, like,
I owe you a debt too, Piebrain.
As a friend of mine,
you have proven yourself time and again.
I owe you far more
and we will, you will get
that tech priest status
you have always,
signed for.
One way or the other,
you will show those people,
I think they're people,
on Lemuria,
what for.
Well, you're right.
And I am already a tech priest,
but you're right!
Sure, whatever.
You can share whatever,
I don't believe you.
Uh, GM?
Yes?
Because I didn't necessarily get to talk about it
when we were on the strategium.
If, after Pie and Zedek,
like, break off,
can Zedek just, like, look down
and see whatever he managed to pilfer
from the strategium
in terms of a trophy
or some kind of,
then it all goes in, like,
a heirloom cabinet in his quarters
of just reminders
of the terrible things
they've done or seen.
I will say that during that fight,
a chunk from the plasma blasts
that were flying,
I will say a chunk
of the back of the throne
fell off
and was, like, this, this,
this imperial saint
who seemed to be
well-preserved.
Like, this chunk of gold
displaying an imperial saint
that's maybe, like,
eight inches
of gold.
Awesome.
That will look nice
in the case next to the crappy little crown
I got from the divine lord of war.
Absolutely.
So the shuttle has docked,
and you've returned to your embraces.
Are you all going to...
Where are you all going?
Let's start with Pybrain.
What are you off to do?
Or are you going to all head
to the strategium as a group?
What's the plan here?
Well, we should probably
actually figure out the situation
before we break off on our own.
Let us see what's going on
with the strategium.
Yeah, that's where I'm going.
I agree.
Let's debrief.
So basically, all of you
get off as a group.
Yeah.
Okay.
So all of you get off as a group,
and you begin heading off
towards the strategium.
However,
our camera does not follow you.
Instead, it stays on the lone shuttle
in the shuttle bay
as diligent crew members rush out.
They rush out
to begin cleaning the arvus
and spraying it down
from any infections
or anything like that.
And one of the menials
comes up to the back door
and begins scrubbing it.
And we watch this
for just a few seconds
until there is a cracking,
whining sound
as its head turns around 180
to stare at the camera
with a cocked look.
We boarded.
And that's where we'll end for today.
No!
Great!
Thank you, The Sten,
for another great episode.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
I am so fucking proud of all of you.
You all got to show off, like,
all of your bad fucking skills
this episode.
And that fight was, like,
was probably one of the hardest
I've fucking designed.
And you, like, I'll be honest,
that first fucking moment
when Captain Zedek burned
all of your fucking pool of glory
on that first shot, I'm like,
oh, man, now they're all going to fail
their resolve tests.
And some of you did,
but you managed to rally.
And each of you fucking really showcased
what you could do.
And fuck, you all deserve
a big hand for that.
That was awesome.
Oh, thank you.
It's all thanks to your wonderful DMing
and storytelling.
Very good job, everyone all around.
And thank you, chat,
