1 bump remaining

Most people are asleep. +12 GMT? How does that feel to be ahead of just about everyone and being alienated due to time zones?

>>12346924

it SUCKS

I'm granting you a bump

Holy crap sticks on a cracker. I could go for some DE quest. How do I roll? And this is ma quest trip.

Playing a dark eldar quest is like playing an ero-rpg in fatal, with a heavy focus and rape and murder.

Yes, it is quite possible, but who'd want to?

>>12346943

>heavy focus ON rape and murder

goshdarnit

bump, as I'm looking forward to reading this.

>rape and murder.
I'd be disappointed if /tg/ stooped to that. Where is it ever implied that they care about rape? They're pirates, survivors and hunters. Think Barbary Pirates mixed with blondie and some blackbeard to top it off.

They won't just kill you, they'll FUCKING KILL YOU. The don't just make you a slave, YOU'LL DIE HERE SCUM.

They are depraved hedonists.
The whole reason they ended up as Dark Eldar was that they were having so much kinky sex that they gave birth to Slaanesh.

rolled 87 = 87

>appearance
Pale, thin, dark hair, green eyes. A scar from a knife wound just bellow the cheekbone on one side of our face.

>gender
Female. I don't really care, but hopefully it will keep /tg/ from suggesting we rape every single captive.

>age
29. We've supposedly been in a gang for 20 years, so anything younger than that gets rather absurd.

>name
I don't know anything about DE naming conventions. Somebody else deal with this.

>>12347037
Does anyone have a suggestion for a name?

What is your name, initiate of the Cruelest Flail Kabal?

>>12347037

This. Although I don't believe being female will stop /tg/ from rape...nothing could do that.

Naming convention, I turn to you captcha

Name: Caraten Occupixs

You just can't make that shit up.

also +12GMT is the best GMT

rolled 99 = 99

>>12347097
True enough, /tg/ has a truly epic thirst for rape. At least they'll have one less appendage to employ in doing so.

Also, I second that name. Captcha is a true bro sometimes.

Lets go with Caraten Occupixs

As to rape; I mean what kind of a space elf would rape a human? It'd be like a man fucking a chimp, doable... but I think people would stop spending time with you!

>>12347178
> It'd be like a man fucking a chimp
How do you think AIDS was first transmitted from monkey to human? I sure don't think they were sharing drug needles, if you know what I mean...

Besides, DE are a race of psychopathic sadists. They wouldn't rape humans because they find us sexually attractive, they'd just do it for the fun of causing their captive to suffer.

You are Caraten Occupixs, a woman inducted to serve the Cruelest Flail Kabal, a minor house of Lords, a subsidiary of a larger (and unnamed) Kabal. Your Lord receives his orders from a Haemonculus, that is the only prevailing fact about your Kabal.

You are nearly 30, bleach ivory in skin tone, raven hair, malnourished and have a glazed, leaf-green eye colour. Everything about you screams of poverty and survival through cunning. A long scar runs down the left side of your face, starting just below the eye, near the nose, and stopping under your ear. Thankfully the wound was not very deep, the scar itself is like a tracing for a tattoo. You've always felt this would be significant later.

You have a few key duties to observe before you leave (approx 2 hours) but you still have some time to yourself. What do?

(highest of 3 rolls for now, until thread picks up speed)

>>12347178

Still, I think inserting glass tubes into human penises and then crushing them etc. would be very dark eldary, so while maybe not rape in the literal sense, they'd definitely be down for doing sexual things to humans that FUCKING HURT

Let us begin by running through what equipment we have available, and where we can improve upon. I'm sure in all the pre-raid preparations it would take hours to find a body if we were to...upgrade our gear.

I also try to recall if I am kabal-born or tube-born. This will have a lot to do with how I treat those around me.

>>12347199
>nserting glass tubes into human penises and then crushing them
FUUUUUUUUU-

>>12347197
We should check over our gear, and make ready whatever sort of weapons we have available.

Also, let's go find something to eat. It sounds like we could use a good meal, and if the raid goes badly, it would be a shame to die hungry.

Double and then triple check my equipment... then its time to Psyche myself up.

I'm thinking that some kind of calming influence before the drug fuelled lust of the next few hours!

>>12347262
>>12347231
You are an orphan, as best as you can tell you might have come from a now destroyed minor House. Typically family lines are utterly extinguished when a House falls, but obviously someone whisked you away. A rare smile from fate.

You have no equipment, everything you used to possess was taken away. Which wasn't much. A human las-pistol and a large knife. You have been.. pragmatic, that's for certain. You will be issued gear when the raid begins. Once again, a rare smile from fate.. most initiates are expected to supply their own equipment.

You've eaten twice today. Nothing amazing but it was sustaining.

You sit alone in a room. A simple bed, a seperate room for 'relief' and a wardrobe have been provided. The building you are in is largely a barracks and leads out to a larger courtyard. Vehicles are already arriving, fresh from the machine yards.

What do?

>>12347294
Pace up and down a bit maybe, I mean we're into the waiting game now.

Turn up early to the mustering point maybe?

>>12347294

We're DE aren't we? Why aren't we schlicking now?

>>12347294
> A simple bed, a seperate room for 'relief' and a wardrobe have been provided.
Get dressed and go out to the courtyard to see if we recognize any of the other warriors we'll be conducting the raid with.

>>12347341
This.

We have 2 hours to kill, and we're stuck in a small room with nothing to do.

We should pleasure ourself, and then get dressed for the raid.

>>12347351

While in the yard, within the boundaries of status, let's try to establish ourselves as a hardcore badass dark eldar raider so the others can see the newest addition is quite tough

rolled 93 = 93

Does Caraten have any allies that are also part of this raid.
If so, try to make contact, see what they know.

OOC: Do we have mofo's or are we all dark and solo.

>>12347362
Narrr we're the pragmatic sort, making a big song and dance will get us singled out too early.

Just ensure we look calm, quiet and mean

>>12347341

This. Use the large knife.

Or we can go to the courtyard, *then* schlick with the large knife. In which case we want to be badass, so we use the blade instead of the hilt.

rolled 42 = 42

>>12347375
I agree. Play it low key, find out who the major players are, then start plotting our way to their position.

Mental note..find a rectoblade asap.

>>12347340
>>12347351
You dress yourself in clean clothing. Clean clothing.. you haven't had any before. Always rags, always dirty.

Strolling out of the barracks, you take in the sight before you. An impressive host, a full 30 Raider vessels, each with a complimentary 10 warriors apiece. They are organising their supplies... weapons, gadgets.. possibly explosives and some heavy weapons.

You hear a voice behind you, turning.. you see [pic related] looking at you. On the floor next to him is another initiate, his chest burst and entrails coating the immediate surroundings. The figure stares at you for a long time, touches the side of his helmet and whispers into it.

Next action?

>>12347389
that's awsome; what is it?

>>12347389
Take his weapon and ask what happened to him. Hopefully nothing weapon-related.

>>12347389
Isn't that a Deathjester? A fucking Harlequin on a DE raid!

Some serious shit is going down!

Loosen muscles, stay calm, meet his/her gaze, plan an attack if neccessary to re-inforce muscle memory... BUT STAY FUCKING CALM!

>>12347397

Do we have an idea of what the hell is this guy? Seems the other initiate fucked something up. Let's approach him confidently, acknowledging his presence with respect but not groveling.

rolled 63 = 63

>>12347397

Kinda like a DE Harlequin, from the looks of it.

>>12347389

If they wanted us dead, unarmed, alone and worthless as we are, we would already be dead. Still, no need to rock the boat, nod in passing and then continue to the staging ground.

Best case, it's just a higher up warrior enacting some vengeance or duty. Worst case....well, it could be far far worse.

>>12347397
Looks to me like a Harlequin Death Jester. Sort of a badass eldar exile mercenary with a huge gun.

Probably a good idea for us not to antagonize this fellow or get in his way, considering he's just murdered a guy.

Is that a Death Jester?

If so, we are probably a little excited by seeing Harlequins, that means things are going to get exciting.

If not a Death Jester...ask nearest surviving recruit what it going on.

>>12347389
Stand the fuck back from this dude.

If the opportunity presents itself, loot the dead initiate's body. See if he has any decent weapons on him.

rolled 50 = 50

I agree with the polite nod and walk past, but then ask someone else wtf?

>>12347436

This. Just be careful though. If he does speak to us, it's time to cower a little.

Staring match with the Jester while we wait for OP to deliver!

RUN, RUN FOR COVER.

Shit is about to go down, I'm all for being someplace else.

>>12347429
>>12347426
>>12347422
>>12347419

You raise your hand in greeting. The figure chuckles slightly, a mocking, low and.. sad.. laugh. The figure raises his hand. He points at two other initiates nearby, terror rife on their faces, then sharply gestures at the corpse. His instruction is sudden and harsh; "throw this garbage into the sewers."

He turns and faces you again, walks up to you briskly. He holds out a weapon, covered in runes which glow like the gems on his body, "take this. Use it sparingly. Only on enemies in armour, understood?"

You nod.. a bit numb.. he pats your shoulder, once, spins and walks off at a brisk pace. It's almost as if he's floating between steps. Beyond him you see several other figures, with [pic related] in front.

Lucky you. The attention of some powerful group of lunatics. What will you do now?

>>12347485

Wow he gave us a gun. Let's feel all important and snarl at the other initiates to leg it and pick up the corpse faster.

>>12347485
You better do exacly what they want.

>>12347485
Hmmm... it seems we've been drawn into a most interesting intrigue. Inquire with one of the other raiders whether they saw what provoked the Death Jester to murder that man.

Also, we should examine the weapon. Is it a blade, or some sort of exotic gun?

>>12347485
Hmm.
Assuming we know the right way about this new piece, can we guess at what it is?
"...only on enemies in armour, understand?"
Suggests...a distortion weapon? Or a Brightlance?

>>12347496
Probably a good idea.
I get the impress Initiates act like mega-Chavs every chance they get.

rolled 55 = 55

>>12347485

Nod in understanding as the Jester walks away. Weapon should be concealed on our person as quickly and carefully as possible. No need to draw attention to ourselves until we're high enough and powerful enough to survive anybody coming to take what is ours.

I find myself growing paranoid at the attention shown to me, 'luck' doesn't exist, not here in the Dark City of the true kin, and I know that things rarely end well for the unknowing patsy.

Move briskly towards the commanding figure (will assume this to be a Sybarite or Dracon), fall into line and listen to what I assume is the briefing.

>>12347485
Curiouser and curiouser... I wonder how much of this Caraten actually understand... but staying in character:

Examine my new weapon, assitane its function (other than killing) I'm assuming its not the cannon he was holding as that seems too good to be true.

Smirk at my turn of fortune and then examine the face of those around me, especially my superiours. What do they think of me getting this new toy?

Also: Examine the curious party in the distance. The guy at the front doesn't look like he's from around here!

>>12347485
We should try to conceal the weapon, assuming it's small enough to hide.

Though we might gain a bit of respect from our peers if it were known that the Death Jester had shown us favor, it looks like he's working for some Craftworld Eldar. Being associated with them could earn us more enemies in Commoragh than friends.

>>12347514
>>12347496
You grimace at the other initiates. They glower at you, disgusted. Their collection of their dead friend is not slow, it is deliberate. They hurry over to the edge of the platform and down a flight of stairs.

The weapon in your hand is a gun, two bulbous chambers. No obvious identifiers. Isha only knows what kind of doom it has stored within.

You hear a call, it's your name. You spin around and see [pic related] standing next to what you assume is your commander. The figure is.. horrifying. You're repulsed just by his.. by it's appearance.

You look back at where the corpse was, his equipment lying on the ground. What will you do?

I'm assuming (tell GM tells otherwise) that we aware of Harlequin weapons, in that case we have a Shreiker Cannon ( I hope).

Caraten, being fairly destitute till this moment would treasure such a gift. Though being aware of the fates and her natural cynicism, will know that something is afoot and at this time she had better do what she's told.

It would be unwise to insult madmen of the caliber of a Death Jester.

Good times.

>captcha exceder give

Captcha has your back on this quest Alph+12

>>12347553
Wow, our commander is really... horrifying.

That said, we should probably hold off on picking through the dead guy's equipment, and go attend to our commander's summons.

>>12347553
Quickly collect any armour or useful gear the fallen DE had (don't put it on yet) and then quickly (but calmly) walk towards the two figures

>>12347570
What's DE culture like? Are we going to be bitch slapped for delaying... or will the commander appreciate that we have to grab some gear before it gets swiped?

>Captch madeline washou

dammit ninja'd.

Loot the pack, the other DE are already pissy, what does it matter at this stage. Also, stay away from the scary leader, we have been popular enough for one day.

> are you wanting us to roll at "what do" or will you inform us of when to dice up?

>>12347575
I'm guessing more the latter then former, but I do not really know.

Scramble over, affect appropriate subservient posture.
Await orders.

>>12347581

true, we can loot later. Lets get some plot.

>>12347565
[I'm running under what I envisage the new DEldar fluff is.. removing them from teh RAPEMURDERKILL of yore]

The weapon from the laughing man is small, just a pistol. It glows warmly in your hand and hums. You pocket it quickly, placing it in the holster of your meagre equipment. You reach down to pick up the dead mans gear but a harsh yell takes your attention. Your commander *definitely* didn't appreciate you trying to take the weapons.

You rush over to the horrible man and your commander. You bow. Before you can finish rising, the horrible man starts speaking; "is *this* the one? She's pretty, and what a nice scar. One day you'll look like me if you ignore me again, maggot. Stand up straight! I want to take a proper look at you, lanky bitch."

The hideous man circles you, looking you up and down. You get the impression there's nothing sexual in this, he is looking at an attack dog, observing its physique. Little else.

[contd]

>>12347616
He peels off from his circling, stands next to your commander again. Exposed muscles twitch, he is sneering.

"This is the girl. Killed a pair of warp-hounds with the knife I showed you. Is responsible for a gladiator being killed.. some say a stray shot, others say differently. Either way, a nice little hole between the wych's eyes. She's got a good reputation as a survivor. We'll stick her with a forward team, first on the ground. How does that sound, woman?"

You make no reply.

"I didn't think there'd be any objections. Good. You're early too, I'm pleased." he gestures, "go over to Emerrax and get some gear. Keep the pistol. Noone is stupid enough to take a gift like that from you."

You already know that Emerrax is a good walk toward the main structure of the Kabal. On the way is a doctor.. the Incubi headquarters and the Hall of Wailing. You passed these when you first arrived, drugged and bleeding to death. Details your commander neglected to mention..

Roll those 100's men. Highest of 5 wins. Your choice of action.

>>12347616
>Here's hoping its a Fusion Pistol:D

Assuming we're the hard boiled pragmatic sort;

Stand up straight... but more than that, deliberatly raise posture into a slightly less than totally submissive pose.

Make direct eye contact... but only for a moment, before staring at his/her/its throat. IDEA to maintain dignity without an overly agressive level of eye contact.

Adjust feet slightly into relaxed but subtle fighting stance.

Start to listen HARD! Take in all the hints around me.

>>12347648

Agreed, given what's happened we're not going to start messing around!

>>12347657
>Follow orders, what else.
You still have over an hour to kill.
>Also, what are our skills and knowledge?
Not a clue, I'm not going to assign you some contrived D&D style stat system. As far as Eldar go you're young and pretty much a clean slate. Become what you want to be.

I am against eye-fucking our commander given the circumstances. We are mere scum for their games at this stage, not mary-sue-daughter-of-darkeldrad.

Follow orders : Get armed

rolled 82 = 82

whoops, wrong field.

Get armed.

An hour to kill, maybe have a look around near the Incubi hq.

>>12347684
>Over an hour to kill
Which we can kill once we have everything in need, better to have to hang around for 45mins than possibly fuck up at this stage.

I mean what if there is a queue at the quartermasters?

OOC: Appreciate that you're trying to let us explore our homeworld... but under the circumstances the boring choice is the correct choice:(

Damn responsibilities, must sleep.

I trust /tg/ to not get us killed by morning.

wait, no i don't. Have fun guys.

>>12347706
>>12347695
You march directly to Emerrax. He's not an Eldar, though he looks disturbingly similar. As if he were an incomplete painting. His body is pale, a kind of blue/white. His eyes are sunken, the globes themselves black and swollen black veins line all visible skin.

He sees you. Without any sound he picks up a weapon from under the counter. You freeze solid, your heart leaping into your throat. He places it on the counter infront of him. It is a long weapon, with a glowing blue/purple shaft running down it. It is clearly not Eldar in design. It was built purely for function, that much is easily determined.

[contd]

>>12347763
Emerrax speaks at this time, it is like a stone grinding; "We've been wondering if you'd return. Your superiors wanted us to give you our 'inferior' weaponry.. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised though.. heh heh.."

From around a corner, another one of these... mockeries appears. He also is pale, with some tattoos on his face. Thick, ugly black veins line his skin, like his comrade. His hair is dyed slightly and oh Gods! you've just noticed these *things* have hair on their faces!

"Don't get killed out there, little girl.." the other mutters. His voice.. like static through the vocalisers in the street, his voice causing bright lines to appear on his clothing. They shine and undulate with his voice, like a rainbow made of straight lines. You notice for the first time these.. things.. have metal.. sockets? in their joints and on the backs of their heads.

[any comments?]

>>12347804

Are those human slaves or what?

If they aren't eldar I think they deserve some sort of reprimand for taking this tone with me. Not harsh enough to piss anyone bigger off though.

>>12347804
>Did check the Unreal Tournament wiki page for weapons descriptions:)

"What... are... you?"
"Do you know who I am?"

rolled 50 = 50

"You seem to recognize me, Emerrax, what of it? Surely you have no gain in going against my superiors and giving me weaponry with some...kick. I can't help but feel there is more at play here, for the risks you are taking"

>>12347828
>>12347857
"What... what are you? How do you know who I am?"

Emerrax pauses.. his companion turns and walk away.
"Depending on who you ask.. we are filth, Demons.. or men of Gold."
He draws a small white stick from his vest, his finger emits a tiny flame and he draws on the stick with his mouth, exhaling a light grey smoke.
"It's.. irrelevant. We were there, when it happened."
"When what happened?" you ask, curiousity rising,
"Everything."

You feel frustration. This mockery is playing a joke at your expense. The things expression is totally blank, almost wistful in memory. You change tactics.
"You seem to recognize me, Emerrax, what of it? Surely you have no gain in going against my superiors and giving me weaponry with some...kick. I can't help but feel there is more at play here, for the risks you are taking"

"Who ever said we were meant to give you something weak? Now little girl, go away, you've *exhumed* some powerful and sad memories. We're done here."

Emerrax walks off. You cannot reach him from your position, you are blocked by a strong barrier.

What now, initiate?

>>12347930
All these cryptic motherfuckers around the place, the next person who talk to me in riddles is getting a facefull of... whatever weapon that Harlequin gave me:)

Shrug shoulders.
This isn't like its the weirdest thing thats happened today, clearly someone or something has plans for me. WHile I'm tempted to try and upset them out of spite, what options do I really have? For now I will follow the path clearly prepared for me... but I'm going to start looking for escape routes from my fate!

Examine weapon, check time.

If enough time then go and "hang" with some of the other noobs, otherwise get back to the staging area.
