Part 2:
Ordo Malleus Inquisitor Delessa Kravos (Waifu Collector) was called upon to investigate the battle. She was to rendezvous with Canoness Galatea and sisters to obtain more information.

Shortly after meeting up, a warp portal opened up, forcing the sisters and inquisitor to beat back the Daemonettes. On a whim, the Inquisitor bound a daemon named Filigree to herself in hopes of obtaining information. After sealing her powers, and rescuing the planet from a small daemonic incursion with the resurfacing of Esme, Filigree proved both useful and irritating, providing quite a bit of valuable information.

Another Canoness, Florencia, also made herself known, offering her assistance as well as the assistance of her retinue The Silver Winged Angels to Galatea, the twins Carol and Coral being among those in the Retinue.

It was discovered that mind-controlling daemons were infesting planets, making the locals build devices that caused warp portals to appear and consume planets, the cardnal world Ophelia VII being the main target.

After recruiting Sister Elizabeth, an assault and flamer specialist, as well as Sister Sonja, a sniper specialist, the Inquisitor ordered the reinforcement of the Sisters' second holiest world.

They found the warp unstable around them, Esme leaving the safety of the ship to beat back the daemons. Even with their assistance they were forced to warp out, encountering the craftworld Biel-Tan.

Delessa decided to share what she knew with Farseer Rodwen who grudgingly agreed to help. Together they traveled to Ophelia VII.

>>17701146

They met up with Hereticus Inqusitor Alixander Littner and Living Saint Evangela Hart who agreed to lend their assistance to the cause.

The battle was long and harsh, a messenger of chaos known as a Pain Strider named Eden appearing to give them a chance to surrender. After declining Miriael Sabathiel resurfaced with a troop of possessed Sisters. Though most were killed, the daemon controlling Seraphim Superior Caramel was sealed away, letting her regain control and provide information.

Miriael jumped into the fight herself, Esme returning a third time to assist in beating her back, though it was Delessa who used a Vortex Grenade to land the finishing blow.

In the calm following, teams being dispatched to search for any nearby survivors, the Tech-Priest Fortran and the psyker Chole being among them, as well as a Banshee Exarch named Yáviel.

Any planned victory celebrations were, as the warp destabilized around the planet, the extreme surge of energy from the encroaching chaos gods had begun to awaken a fifth.

(Let us know when to start posting!

Part 3:

Esme entered the warp, in hopes of stopping the newly formed god from consuming Ophelia VII. She took with her several sisters, extending her aura to protect them. The group pressed quickly through the realm, destroying all manner of daemons. They did, however, find a small fluffball of a remnant with many teeth which Caramel decided to name Tribble.

It was soon discovered that aspects of the chaos god exist seperate from the main entity and are working to create the fabric of the realm. Esme set out do destroy these one by one, tearing holes in the god's realm and allowing daemons of the original 4 to pour in. These daemons chose to 'ignore' the small group of sisters, far more focused on preventing the new chaos god from rising to power.

After destroying 4 orbs, and finding Sister Alessa, a demolitions expert, Sister Evelyn, a Novice trainer, and Mistress Sawyer, A Repentia Mistress along the way.

A large energy conduit was cut, allowing the Legion of the Damned to assist in fending off a large horde of Daemons. A greater daemon soon followed, forcing Esme to use the second vortex grenade.

With things calm for now, the sisters prepare themselves to infiltrate the god's realm through the sewer systems.

CHARACTER PROFILES LIST: https://rapidshare.com/files/3979231872/SQ_character_list.rtf

>>17701129
explain this bullshit to me /tg/...
bolts are described as less than 1 inch in diameter.
they are gyrojet explosive armor piercing rounds.
such rounds can have about zero recoil and negligable gas pressure (see real gyrojet gun) up to a very managable recoil and a formidable exit speed.

SO WHY THE FUCK IS THE OUTER BARREL SO BIG AS A 40MM GRNADE LAUNCHER ON EVERY PIC?

Your haphazard group was restless. They gathered around the entrance to the hole that had been dug. The hole leading into the sewers and, hopefully, into the lair of the chaos god Haenoth.

They looked to you now to choose your team. In such a confined space, taking the entire group would ensure many deaths. A small group to secure the way would be the best course of action.

The question remained... Who would you take?

>>17701197

Because thats a second edition picture.

>>17701162

and go ahead and post

>>17701214
How big of a team can we take?

>>17701265
show me a pic of a bolter haviong a beliveable sized barrel? (considering unbreakable space materials and shit so it stands to reason they make them out of better stuff then todays steel).

>>17701214
Tessa, for one. She'll be our close combatant.

>>17701276

its your choice

>>17701214
I'd suggest:
-Rodwen, because she can help with warp related stuff
-Tessa, because Esme will never hear the end of it if she doesn't.

Do we have any idea what those sewers might look like? I'm not sure if bringing any ranged characters could be useful or not.

>>17701468
Fire power is always useful. I'd probably want someone who can move quietly, if we're intending to infiltrate. Maybe Anna?

If we're going to do this guns a blazing and faith powers flying I'd recommend Alessa. Hell probably take her anyway, cause demo charges will probably be very useful in close confines

I provided a character list. You guys may want to take a look

OP, is this going to be a covert mission or will it be alright if we make a lot of noise going in?

>>17701601

your choice

So far we've decided on Tessa, definately. I don't have any objection to the Farseer or Alessa. Both will be useful in their own way- the eldar for her psykic long range attacks, and knowledge, and Alessa for her meltaguns and expertise of explosives.

I think we should pick one more, preferably someone who can fight without attracting too much attention, since we want to be quick about it.

>>17701667
I'd say we need some psyker support, another cc combatant and somebody capable of providing fire support.

>>17701398
Let's ask this way, do you plan to scale our encounters within certain limits? I'd hate to screw up because we took 4 people and you planned all enounters for a 5 character groups or apply a penalty for every character beyond the first 3.

>>17701737
Well Esme has faith powers. Between her and the Farseer we should be good. I suppose Carol and Coral or Caramel might be good for close combat, but they're at a major dis advantage without the ability to fly.

Same goes with Evangela, though she has faith power too.

>>17701737

I do plan to scale the encounter. Though taking too few could result in problems as would taking too many. you should probably consider taking 3-5 ish but there are reasons to take more or less.

please be aware that this is not the final boss party :P

A party of four sounds about right.

Counting Esme, and keeping the current roster at Rodwen, Tessa, and Alessa, that should be enough.

I don't want to take too many of our heavy hitters away, at the moment, if only because they'll be facing who knows what while we're trekking through the dungeon.

>>17701773

not everything is compact tunnels. Do consider the other skills the characters have as well as well as the characters' abilities to play off of each other.

>>17701815
No matter who we take, Caramel and Evangela need a hug, and whoever stays at the base needs to watch these two so they won't do anything stupid.

>>17701858
Well then, let's take Evangela.
>>17701864
Seconding hugs. And maybe Esme can get some words of wisdom from a fellow living saint?

>>17701880
From what I remember, Evangela gives off some kind of holy auro that's almost impossible to hide. So I'd think she isn't an optimal choice.

I'd like to suggest Elizabeth for our group. She's the kind of heavy medium/short range fire support we cold need in the sewers.

>>17701934
I still think that's maybe one too many, but alright.

What are objectives are we looking to complete in the sewers? We're using them to sneak into the domain, right? And then...open the door for the rest of our allies?

>>17701842

We have the soul drinkers to protect the enterance though.

>>17701952
>I still think that's maybe one too many

I'm almost falling asleep here, so you might not want to rely on any ideas I get this evening.
If Elizabeth or Evangela are one too many or don't offer anything to the group, I'm more than willing to leave them at the base.

>>17702019
>>17701934
Well, taking moar dakka never hurt the orks. I'm sure we'll be able to deal with whatever happens.

Let's get started!

>>17701952

Your objective is to get into the Hive of Haenoth. You must discover how to get there so that the other sisters may follow.

>>17702099
Any of the characters trained for scouting or recon? The list doesn't mention anything about it.

>>17702117
That would be Carol and Coral and Caramel. Seraphims are the scout force

>>17702140
Ah okay, but those two work only when they're together. So I guess they aren't really an option.

>>17702151
>>17702151
Caramel could fill that roll. You want to add her, and drop someone?

>>17702170
But it will be so much work to keep her from getting herself killed.

S-stupid suicidal Caramel, it's that we like you, or anything.

>>17702151
>>17702208

Caramel would work quite well. I say we take her. We just ask her to be cautious thats all. I don't think she's suicidal to the point where she would endanger the mission.

>>17702151
Okay, should we drop Tessa? Seeing as they're both Close Combat

>>17702305
Yeah, but she's reckless beyond reason. Anyway, I'm off for the night so the decision who to take is yours.

>>17702333

we'll never hear the end of it but i think so. Caramel has that whatever its called sword that cuts through anything. Tessa's Evicerator may be hard to use in closed quarters.

>>17702423

>>17702151
Agreed. Is it that plasma sword? Like a lightsaber basically?

>>17702423
>>17702451

Sollex blade

So Rodwen, Caramel, and Alessa and possibly Elizabeth.

>>17702481
Right, that.

So, Caramel, Rodwen, Alessa, and Elizabeth.

Hugs all around. Try to make sure that Tessa understands why she can't come with us. Into the abyss.

>>17702646

You walk slowly around the line of allies, gesturing to your desired party as you passed them.

Caramel was first, following in line behind you, a determined look on her face. "It is my honor to serve."

Alessa followed, brandishing her filled multimelta and carrying a side bag containing various explosives. "I wont let you down chief!"

Elizabeth jumped forward as you picked her, pulling down her goggles. "HAHAHA! YES! NO ENEMY SHALL ESCAPE MY CLEANSING FLAMES!!!"

Rodwen was last, nodding once. "I will gladly loan you my abilities."

You approached the hole, allies in tow. Tessa walked up next to you, looking a little hurt. "I wont ever forgive you if you get hurt."

>>17703018
"Tessa. I went through hell itself to be with you. I'm not going to let some over fluffed deamon stop me from coming back again."
Esme says with more confidence then she feels, before pulling her long time friend into a tight hug. "As long you're waiting for me, I promise you nothing will become between us again. Not for long."

>>17703018
"Your talents are needed elsewhere, my love. Right now, you're needed here, to uplift and protect these younger sisters. Hmph. Isn't too long ago you and I were just like them- hopefully their campaign will end on a happier, more victorious note."

>>17703093

(forgive the dungeon drawings. I dont have my tablet with me)

Tessa nodded once. stepping back. You glance at the hole. Its pitch black. Elizabeth sends a small gout of flame down into it. The floor was visible a ways down. The tunnel had a small trickle of water running down the middle. The smell was indescribable. Not potent, but it left a dull ache in your temples and jaw.

Elizabeth smiled, using the pilot light to light a lho-stick. "Seems clear."

Caramel handed Tribble to Verity and stepped forward without another word, her jump pack slowing her fall and lighting a good area. The glowing Sollex blade assisted, though not much.

Rodwen followed, holding up an orb of crackling psykic light. She was wary.

You assisted Alessa and Elizabeth. Neither one could get down easily without risking damage to their gear.

Now that you were in the tunnel the smell was far worse, getting into your hair and every crevice in your armor. It was metallic and sickly sweet with faintly burnt undertones accompanied by the unmistakable smell of decay.

There was an expanse of tunnel in front of you that led to an iron door. It was cracked open slightly, pitch black beyond.

>>17703349
The touched sister opens the door warily, hoping that there will be little resistance this close to the surface.
"The emperor wept. I know this place couldn't have been very pleasant to begin with, but I hate to think what it will look like if things get really bad."

>>17703349
"You know, I beginning to not like sewers."

>>17703349
Esme, use psykic senses!

or Just ask rowden if she can detect anything up ahead. If we can't do that trick she should definately teach us.

>>17703502
>>17703462
>>17703449

You open the door. Alessa took point, followed by Elizabeth, using a large mass for cover. It wasn't until Rodwen entered with her glowing orb that you saw the room clearly, devoid of any danger. The room was filled with various clutter. It was another pump control room. The machinery itself looked badly damaged but the pump control unit was largely intact. There were a few monitors near the controls. It also looked like you might be able to operate some distant machinery with it, maybe even the lights, but messing with it may not be a good idea without sufficient skill.

There was a door to the far right.

You asked Rodwen to try to sense ahead, extending your own senses.

You couldn't feel much but you did detect some distant life signs, though you could not tell how far.

"There is a lot of interference but there are some weak signatures below us as well as a ways through that door."

>>17703619
at first glance I thought that was schematics for some kind of imperium weapon. that is all.

>>17703619
Hey, any idea what the hell the pump pumps? Should we turn it on now so we won't have to backtrack later? or leave it off to not telegraph our presence?

>>17703643

most likely water. It is a sewer system. I also say we leave it alone. We dont have any technologically proficient people with us. Just combat really.

... Well we could ask Alessa to take a look. She does modify guns and stuff. She may be able to see SOMETHING we cant.

>>17703619
>>17703619
>>17703712
"Alessa, any of this look important to you?"

If not, let's proceede. how big is the hallway? Can we proceede two b y two? If so let's take point with Elizabeth. The flamer needs to be up front to protect against friendly fire.

>>17703771

Alessa grabbed Rodwen by the robe and dragged her over to the pump control unit, looking quite satisfied at the look of displeasure on the Xeno's face.

She examined the various switches and buttons before ripping off the side pannel and crawling halfway inside, Rodwen moving the light down to compensate.

You heard the sound of things breaking and the sound of tearing wires. The monitors grew fuzzy and flickered off. You were just about to tell her to stop when the emergency lights flickered on, bathing the room in a very faint red glow.

Alessa backed out, looking satisfied. "Got the lights on chief, though not sure what else I broke. The emergency power cables were broken, see, and I had to rip out some wires to replace them."

Elizabeth took long drag. "Well at least I can see without wasting any fuel. I doubt they'll be any good though with my goggles on."

You nodded once and asked her to take point, She nodded once and moved to the next door, keeping her aim.

Caramel glanced after her. "I will follow behind. Is there anything else you wish to attempt in this room exalted one? If not we should press on."

>>17703850
"If we miss some sort of clue or jemstone, we can just come back. I doubt that we'll find anything by randomly flipping switches and pressing buttons."

i will brb my questers. The dog wishes a walk. Feel free to discuss how to order your line should a very narrow passageway need to be crossed.

Hm. I guess Caramel and Elizabeth should be near the front, cause they're close combat. I think Esme and Rodwen would be better in the middle, and Alessa should be in the back?

Or maybe Alessa and Esme and then Rodwen.

Any sign of distrubances amongst the dust and suchlike? Sign of recent activity could indicate a patrol

>>17704024
Rodwen in the back sounds good, all things considered. She's supposed to be doing heavy concentration stuff, like mind bullets.

Also...do we see any hidden statues or gems or sparkling plot important looking items?

>>17704024
>>17704102

You give the room a once over, letting your divine aura flare to light the area. Nothing seems out of place.

You let your aura dim again and move up behind Elizabeth, gesturing for Rodwen and the others to join you.

You nod once to Elizabeth and she opens the door quickly, walking through. She looks around and freezes, staring off to her left.

The smell hit you hard as the door was thrown open, and you cautiously follow Elizabeth out.

You find yourself on a catwalk suspended 15 feet above a large room. The soft red light barely illuminates the area, but you can see enough. The room is filled with black sludge, the same insect like daemons from before muddling about in it. It was unclear what they were doing in the dimness and from the distance you were at. There were several flood gates down in the sludge, one of them blocked by fallen rubble.

There was a door on the other end of the catwalk.

>>17704619
That black sludge flammable?

If not let's move on. Those insect deamons only attack if they sense a disturbance

>>17704619
"The gates are probably controlled by that panel back in the other room." Esme says as she nods to continue cautiously.

(It's two AM On the east coast. Bed

>>17704720

the gates are all open except the one blocked by rocks

Call it for tonight OP? I think I'm the only one left after that other guy went to bed.

>>17704809

well i was gonna stay up for awhile but yeah. I'll keep it bumped for a bit but hopefully you guys can bump it after I sleep. I dunno bout time zones.

>>17704934
Maybe we can get a start on this earlier tomorrow?

What the--! HDW, I thought you had abandoned this quest! Welcome back!

>>17705150

nah i havn't abandoned anything. :3 i just hit creative bankruptcy before. Its nice to see you all back.

Yes! Good to see that this really has started back up!

nudge

Bamp.

Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise? Welcome back.

hello my questers. im awake now so let me grab a bite to eat and the like and we'll get started in about 30-45 minutes or so

>perfeccion akedher

Captcha I... I'm not sure what to say...

The annaversary of drawfags of /tg/ took me by surprise despite being informed ahead of time...

If it is alright with you my questers I would like to drive and get my tablet. The full trip will take about an hour though :/

Please wait warmly just a little longer. I'll draw you up some properly sketched maps with some nice detail when I return.

Waiting!

>>17711668

I'm back now. You guys just want to press on, right?

>>17711678
I'd say we open the door a bit and carefully peek inside the next room. No need to be careless.

Did we inspect the machinery in the last room?

Yeah, move forward. The chaos bugs shouldn't pose enough a threat to warrant bringing attention to ourselves.

You cautiously approach the next door, Caramel taking point this time. She has some trouble with the lock but manages to get it open.

This room is far more well lit than the one before it, several electro candles still casting flickering light through the chamber. The room is just as large as the previous one, though the center of this room is dominated by two large vats containing emperor knows what.

You can see a small spillway on the far side of the room, down the stairs. It appears that there are doors there. Your boots are loud on the catwalk... There's no telling what might be lurking in the heavy shadows down on the ground floor. and you have lost the element of surprise.

There also appears to be a couple doors to your right.

You pause as something catches your eye. Something shiny was on the floor in the middle of the room.

>>17711849
Can Elizabeth fire a short burst with her flamer to illuminate the darkness underneath?

>>17711873

Yes she can but, though its not illustrated there is a hand rail on the catwalk. you only have a limited view from atop the catwalk as well despite the two holes in it.

>>17711911
In that case we should ask Rodwen if she can feel anything in the room. Perhaps even active Esme's warp-o-vision for a few seconds.

Btw, does our power armour have no night vision installed? Or are we following the warhammer rule that no important character is allowed to wear a helmet?

>>17711849
>>17711911
>>17711873
Well then, nothing for it but to move now.

Caramel and Esme will jump from the catwalk, using their jetpack and psykic powers respectively to land without injury as near as possible to the shadows, while Elizabeth moves down the railway, Alessa and Rodwen to remain above to give fire support if anything appears.

>>17711983
Oh, but do the mind probe first. See if that shiny thing has any chaosy smell to it.

>>17711950

You were a novice who exploded into glorious divinity. You were never issued a helmet.

The others are not wearing helmets currently, though Elizabeth has tinted goggles. Now that I think of it, Anna is the only one who regularly wears a helmet actually...

>>17712005
> Anna is the only one who regularly wears a helmet actually...

And that probably because it was necessary for the plot at some point :P

You glance at Rodwen, who was already deep in focus. You close your mouth and activate your witch sight. The entire room was pulsing with chaotic energy. It wouldn't be much use here it seems...

"I do feel something nearby..." The Farseer's voice was low. "Its impossible to tell how close or where. There is so much interference in this room. But I know there is something stirring up the warp. It does not seem all that large though. Nothing like those creatures in the other room." She paused. "Mon-keigh... I must be honest. I am more worried about what is causing the interference."

>>17712035

that and you'd wear a helmet too if you had half your pretty face torn off

>>17712071
"Do you think it could be another focal point? Like the ones we encountered back in the warp?" Esme asks, chewing her lip as she grips the hand rail.

"Also, how much do you want to bet that it's that shiny thing down there?"

>>17712071
>>17712071
Does the chaos energy pose a threat to body or mind?

>>17712144
>>17712167

"It does not seem like a focal point. The energy is emitting from all around us. If it were a focal point you and I could both use witch sight and see it." She licked her lips, glancing down at the shiny thing. "I do not think it poses a threat to us directly, but I do not wish to linger and find out. As for the object, it does not seem chaotic in origin."

Alright then. Descend cautiously but quickly. Caramel over the side with Esme, Elizabeth down the stairs with Rodwen and Alessa bringing up the rear.

Investigate shiny thing!

>>17712236
Did anybody bring a flashlight? Do we have one installed into our suit?

>>17712277

You gesture to Caramel and draw your sword, Caramel mirroring the action. Both your blades gave off faint light, though Caramel's was far brighter than your own.

Elizabeth moved into place at the top of the stairs, Rodwen and Alessa watching carefully for any signs of movement.

With a nod, you and Caramel leapt over the side, landing quickly, blades at the ready. Elizabeth slid down the hand railing, making it creak and shudder, letting out a cautionary gout of flame into the area beneath the catwalk.

Luckily it didn't seem anything was there. Despite the absence of immediate threats, you couldn't stop the back of your neck from prickling.

>>17712358
Okay, case the room. Poke around just to make sure that there isn't any immediate threat and then signal for the team to get ready to move.

>>17712358
Investigate the shiny thing already.

>>17712358
Any particular direction that feels more chaosy then the other?

Is it closer to the next room? Above? Below us? The far wall?

>>17712277

You glance from side to side before moving to do a quick sweep of the room. Rodwen assisted you, sending small psykic orbs of light to various corners. There didn't seem to be anything in the area.

You moved to the middle of the room, picking up the shiny object. It was a heavily polished key with a bronze handle. Judging by its appearance, and the appearance of the doors it would not fit into any of the doors in the current room.

"Alessa. Rodwen. Come on down. It-"

Caramel shushed you hard, her head bowed a little. Her head was cocked. She was listening.

Then you heard it. A faint wet scratching noise echoed through the room.

>>17712702
Pocket the key, and look for the source of the noise.

>>17712702
>>17712702
I bet it's either the vats, or the trenches underneath the bridges

You know what I think? I think we should pick a door and gtfo as fast as possible. Our senses are hindered in here.

>>17712787
But we're clearing the way. If we don't get it know, what if it comes back when the rest of the army moves through?

You grab the key and gesture everyone to get ready. Caramel was staring at the vats now, sonic pistol in one hand.

"No." it was Rodwen. "Get back." She gave no further warning as psykic lightning leapt from her hands and across the metal surface of the vats. An ear piercing squeal was heard accompanied by the smell of burnt flesh.

a side of the vat bubbled and turned to slag as Alessa's melta hit it, revealing a slimy spongey like organic material. It writhed, a chunk tearing itself off, sprouting legs and a horrible mouth. It was a hive daemon.

Before it could attack, Elizabeth's flamer engulfed it, the sister in question cackling like a maniac.

The damage had been done however. The side of the vat was cracking upwards revealing more and more of the spongey mass. There was enough material there to easily bud several dozen hive daemons.

>>17713049
Boild them while they're still in the vats!

>>17713049

Use lightning attack! Anything that carries over to the entirety of the mass of flesh rather then just a single spot.

"Alessa, Elizabeth, keep boiling them! Caramel, take down anything that buds off."

>>17713442
>>17713049
Do you think Elizabeth should move to ground level? Or is she alright where she is?

>>17713502

Alessa is the one above ground level

>>17713634
She should be fine where she is then. proceede.

You gave the order to burn it, flamer, melta and psykic lightning all targeting the writhing mass. The creature screamed, going up like dry tinder. Even so, the creature was surprisingly durable. Burning all the way through would take some time.

Rodwen grunted with the effort of maintaining her assault. Without the numbing effects of the lightning...

The eldar let out a sharp breath, grabbing the railing for support. almost instantly the vat exploded, hive daemons attempting to scatter only to be met with Elizabeth's cleansing flame.

It was over a few seconds later, charred bodies littering the ground. Several had managed to launch the tiny creatures they held. You couldn't be sure if they burned with the rest or if they had escaped to warn of your arrival.

>>17713798
>tiny creatures
Nothing we can do about them anyway. See if Rodwen is okay.

>>17713798
"Xe-Rodwen! Are you alright?" Give her a moment to recuperate if necessary, but try to move fast.

>>17713798
I hope she's alright. it'll be sucky if she's without a psychic charge so soon into the crawl.

Rodwen waved you away, taking several deep breaths. "I'm fine. Just give me a moment to recover."

Caramel holstered her sonic pistol, turning and crossing the bridge, checking out the far walkway. She kept her sword out for light.

Elizabeth dropped her lho stick, extinguishing it under her heel. "So what we gonna do now?"

>>17714334
Check the northern door and the western gate.

>>17714350
>west
I meant to write east. Sorry.

>>17714334
>>17713798
Continue forward, keep an eye out for obstacles.
The doors seem the most obvious way to proceede.

hold on you guys. gotta run for a few hours but then i'll be back. dinner thing with people.

S'okay OP. We aren't posting very fast, are we?

I was hoping we would pick up steam today, but it looks like only a few people are posting.

>>17714592
I think the huge number of threads before this one are scaring people off.

>>17714618
That's a damn shame. I mean, the author recaps.

alright im back. gonna start adding to the map and make the reply

>>17716356
Yeah, but a recap doesn't really capture what made those threads so enjoyable. And reading 30+ threads just because something might be fun is a thing I doubt many people would do.

You move over to the eastern gate, hovering over the sludge. There was a thick grate covering it, the sludge slowly pouring out. Beyond was pitch black.

You decide to continue on for now, trying the Northern door, taking point. Alessa fell into pace behind you.

Beyond it was a room with a console and large machine. It was probably for some sort of treatment process. The wall straight ahead contained various data slates about the conditions of the sewers. It might have contained a map or schematics but there were hundreds of slates. You wouldn't know where to begin.

Next to the shelf of data slates were a pile of boxes. They were a little damp but otherwise sealed tight.

There was a door on the far left wall. It looked heavily rusted. It might not open easily.

>>17714618
Open the boxes! OPEN THE BOXES

>>17716670
We should check if they seem fishy before doing but otherwise - yeah, why not.

>>17716557
I suppose we can just pick a couple of data slates at random. Alessa should check the computer

You ask Alessa to check the computer.

"Sorry Chief, I don't get most of these machines. Just enough to get the lights on. If you have any guns that need modding feel free to ask."

You sigh, looking through several Data Slates. If any of them contained maps, you couldn't tell. The jargon was far above you.

You approach the boxes next, Caramel watching over you shoulder, using her sword to help light the area.

You began shuffling through the boxes. There wasn't much. Just some maintanance tools... some old rags... fuel... and chemical components for the water treatment machine.

>>17717168
Bed.

My final advice is to just move on to the next room, since we're trying to move fast. We can come back later if we're missing something

>>17717168

Could we get the water treatment machine running again? It might be able to do something against that sludge.

>>17717367
>>17717168
Well, ask Alessa if she can. If not, we'll have Fortran will be able to look at it.

You ask Alessa to try to work with the machine.

The Retributor scratched her cheek. "It's not like I don't know what you're trying to do. It's just that I don't know how to work this thing. I mean, I could guess but you'd need people who knew chemicals to put the correct amounts in.

Rodwen frowned, looking up at the big machine. "I don't think it will be of much use to us... currently"

Elizabeth kicked a box, doing a double take, reaching inside. "Hey! Here's some promethium. I could use this!"

Caramel quietly reached past you, pulling an emergency flashlight out of one of the boxes. She shook it several times and clicked it on. It still worked.

>>17718006
Continue through the southeastern door. Flamer clears then melee moves in.

Elizabeth adds the bit of fuel she found to her main tank, taking point the moment she was through. Caramel and Rodwen moved in on either side, Sollex blade and Singing Spear at the ready.

Elizabeth quickly opened the door to reveal a small hallway with two doors to pick from.

There didn't seem to be any immediate threats.

At least give the console in the other room a look. I've we're lucky, that thing is from the dark age of still sensible input. Try something like /?, or /help.

>>17720165
Just a thought, can we establish radio communications with out tech priest for tech support?

You attempt to establish radio contact with Fortran as Alessa continues to fiddle with the console. The thick concrete proves too much, however.

"Oi, Chief!" Alessa waved you over. Caramel had gotten lucky with one of the data slates and found one pertaining to these purifiers, though it did not seem to be about the same purifier they were fiddling with right now. "I can get this thing running but we still lack the chemical components needed to make it actually do anything."

Rodwen sighs deeply. "This is... absurd. I suggest we leave this infernal contraption alone. Clearly none of us have the skills to properly use it."

>>17722666
Esme sighs and rolls her shoulders. "I suppose you're right. We'll let Fortran and the twins take a look at it later. For now, we should press forward."

The living saint turns to Rodwen, speaking in a lower tone of voice. "How are you feeling? You looked a little drained back there."

>>17722666
>>17722666
Alright, let's open those doors then. Esme on one, backed up by Alessa, and Elizabeth and Caramel on the others.

>>17722666

Nothing to do but to keep pressing forward. Also, nice trips Satan.

Also, I guess just probing the emperyan with our powers won't hurt either. The chaosy field diminished any?

>>17724603
>>17725013
These. Also, how are we for ammo and fuel?

>>17725733
Elizabeth just found some promethium so she should be good. Everyone else is using things that don't require ammunition.

OP: Still alive?

bump

>>17726672
>>17725733

I thought this thread was dead I generally will only run this until the end of saturday.

Anna also has to worry about ammo. Everyone is pretty good so far.

>>17730278
>>17725733
Alright good. I'll see you next friday then. Hopefully we'll move faster. Now, bed.

>>17730278
I've missed your threads. So, friday then? Or are you able to keep it going?

>>17730418

Friday. I cant have this leeching all my energy all week.

>>17730560
Ok, too bad. Thanks for running this.

>>17730560
>>17730623
Yes, thank you so much OP. I'm so happy to have this thing back and running

Anyone archive this?

>>17734614

It is on the sup/tg/, yes.

>>17734694
Good. Maybe in the next thread we can set up an IRC chat or something, so that way people don't go wandering off waiting for replies

that DOES seem to be what causes these threads to slow down, huh? OP takes awhile to write the posts. Not complaining about it though. Effort shows.

My questers... You may use this thread's remaining life to discuss strategies for fighting the chaos god.

Mind you, he is planned out in advance, and I will admit that you'll be railroaded into taking at least Evangela purely because... well you're fighting a chaos god. A living saint is good to have.

Still, zeal is your greatest stat buffer. keep it in mind

on an unrelated note my captcha has been the same thing for the entire weekend. it never works when i type it in so i gotta refresh it every time at least once...
