    41 KB The Quest Begins... PoorDM 10/23/10(Sat)15:13 No.12545927  
    A star streaks across the sky.

    It flashes bright across the atmosphere, passing continents and wide oceans alike. Beasts see it, and pay no attention. Orks see it, and argue over its meaning. A few huddled humans see it, hidden in their secret lairs, and are afraid.

    Suddenly, it does something no shooting star would do. It fires its stabilizing thrusters. Its descent slows from mindnumbing speed to simply fast, and it careens off the side of a mountain, precipitating a small landside into the rainforest below.

    The star, still white-hot from its fall from heaven, streaks at angle over the tops of enormous trees, dropping into the canopy, and drawing a line of fire across the forest.

    The damp air quickly extinguishes the blaze, and the star eventually slows, as it crashes through yet more trees and branches. Rolling, still smoking, the star comes to a rest.

    Nothing happens.

    Suddenly, you awaken in the darkness. Your heart pounds. You're terrified. Who are you? Just as you realize you don't know, a line of light appears in front of you. With a hissing sound, the line widens to reveal a hatch. The clamps and belts securing you release with popping noise.

    You crawl out of the star, and into the jungle.

    Roll a d100.

    Stumbling to your feet, you look around. The jungle is loud.

    You can barely hear your own thoughts, not that you have too many at the moment. Trying to clear your head, you examine yourself.

    You are thickly muscled, with dark skin, and powerful limbs. Your hands are dextrous, and you have a sixth finger on your left hand.

    Suddenly, you hear a rustling in the undergrowth. An Ork rolls into the clearing. He is chest-high to you, but immediately grins toothily.

    "My, wot a big humie we 'ave 'ere!" He raises his Choppa menacingly.

    You prepare to defend yourself as the Ork approaches. He raises his Choppa high to swing and...

    A flash of black lightning streaks over the bushes to the right and collides into the Ork, who immediately begins shrieking.

    An enormous panther-like...thing.. is casually snacking on the Ork. Its bladed tail patiently slices off a limb at a time, and it uses its huge clawed paws to toss them into an impossibly toothed maw. It's easily three times your size, and the Ork is dead by the time you realize something is eating it.

    You take a small step backwards in absolute terror.

    And step on a twig. Which snaps.

    The panther raises its head and stares at you, six eyes narrowing in hunger.

    Oh, shit, what are you going to do?

    Suddenly, your adrenaline surges.

    You may know nothing about yourself, but you're damned sure you AREN'T a coward. You gather yourself mentally, step forward, and ROAR like the predator you know you are.

    The sonic attack is shockingly loud, and the panther's face's ripples back.

    The panther immediately roars back, in a higher timber. It's not afraid of you, and it's confident in its killing power. It split open that Ork like it was a melon, and it think its can do the same to us.

    Suddenly, it leaps forward with blinding speed, but things seem to slow down in your mind. Everything becomes extremely clear. The Ork's Choppa, the panther, and the pod, seem to glow slightly, as your eyes flicker over the scene, absorbing all the relevant information. The panther inches towards you in the air, floating.

    How do you react? Roll a d100.

    >> PoorDM 10/23/10(Sat)15:49 No.12546283
    >>12546250

    The panther is a good 15 feet away, and about 6 feet from the ground, which is about chest level for you, but it's going to make contact with you in under a second. Your reflexes are VERY fast though.

    The Choppa is by the Ork, who against all odds is somehow still alive, or at least shaking slowly, and is a good thirty feet away. The Pod is ten feet to your right, and about ten feet high. The rounded surface is quite slick.

    >hahahah, oh no

    You duck inhumanly fast, and the panther extends its claws in mid-flight.

    It rakes deep into your back with three paws, dealing awful damage, and gouging up huge strips of flesh.

    You scream in terrible agony; the panther's claws are tipped with some kind of natural poison.

    Fighting through the pain, you straighten with another shriek of agony, and begin sprinting towards the Choppa before the panther lands. As you close in on the Choppa, you turn your head to check the Panther's position. Time slows down again as you see that the panther is already in mid-leap again, only twenty feet away and streaking towards you.

    With a quick leap, you could get to the Choppa, but would you risk it? Will you dodge to the side, and let the panther protect the Choppa?

    The ground is covered in a litter of rotting wood, leaves, and general fallen planet matter. You quickly dodge to the side, and as you fall to the ground, you pick up a half rotten log with your left hand, and hurl it into the panther's face, as it just passes you.

    The glancing blow strikes it in one of its many eyes, and the beast roars with frustration as it lands about 15 feet past the Choppa, whipping around to face you. Its right eyes are constantly blinking, trying to clear them from the goo that splashed out of the log.

    You're only ten feet from the Choppa, and the panther seems at least partially blinded.

    Taking advantage of the moment, you leap forwards quickly to grab the Choppa, but the axe is slick with the Ork's blood. It takes you an extra half-second to obtain a firm grip on the axe, and you look up for the panther just in time to receive a punishing slashes across your face.

    You feel your right pop in it's socket, and your cheeks slash open. You scream as the poison causes your already punished flesh in your face to scream, neurons flashing in incredible torment.

    Taking the Choppa, you hack downward into the center of the panther's back twice, your strong arm cutting deep into the flesh of the monster's back. If it had a spine, it would be severed, but apparently it does not. The panther squeals in pain, and suddenly backs away.

    You stand with only a single eye remaining and mouth three sizes too big, cheeks rent and bleeding extremely dark blood.

    Do you attack?

    >that's what I'm talking about

    You let loose another sonic blast and leap forward. As you approach the monster, you see its six eyes open in shock. Clearly, in this jungle, nothing takes the punishment you just took, and keeps on coming.

    You bring down the choppa deep in it's right shoulder with your right arm, and it snaps at your wrist with it's daggerlike teeth, making huge gashes in your arm.

    You take your left fist, and with all your strength, punch it directly in the head. It's skull fractures with a crunch, and some of its eyes pop out of their sockets, hanging by the disgusting thread of neuronal tissue and blue-black arteries. The thing spasms wildly, and you get slashed shallowly across your chest with it's bladed tail.

    Suddenly, all movement ceases. You gently pry it's jaws off your heavily muscled wrist. The punctures are deep, and you leak red-black blood. You wrench the choppa loose from the corpse and sit next to it's cooling form.

    You mentally check the damage. Huge gashes in your back. Your right eye gone. Your mouth jaggedly extends to your ears on both sides. Huge bite on your right forearm. All this, and the poison from the beast is setting your body on fire.

    You've never hurt this much since...

    Well, you don't remember anything asides getting out from your pod. Two minutes ago. All this happened in under two minutes. Luckily, your wounds are already sealing.

    Your stomach growls. You're fucking starving. Your pod's door lies open invitingly. There must be a way to close it? There's enough room in the pod to fit a dead panther or a dead Ork, with yourself inside as well.

    What do you do, /tg/?

    You stagger to your feet, and walk over to the Ork. The Ork, unbelievably, looks a little better than he did previously. As you approach, he fearfully drops the intestines he had been trying to gather back into himself and whispers to you.

    "Wot kinda 'umie is you? Nobody killz a Jagwhar. Nobody." You can't tell whether he's shaking in terror or in pain. Either way, you don't care. Taking the Choppa, you behead the beast, and drag his corpse into the pod. Nearly falling inside. you see three buttons. Pressing one does nothing. Pressing the second one turns on a dim light in the pod. Pressing the third one causes the pod door to silently slide shut and lock.

    Looking down at the Ork, you grimly begin cutting up the meat. You hope you can stomach it.

    Luckily, you can. In fact, it tastes... passable. You devour nearly half of the Ork's meat, before collapsing into a deep sleep.

    >apparently, they have!

    You sleep for what feels like a week. When you awaken, the smell is terrible. Your stomach feels a bit upset. but other than that, you feel much better. Turning on the pod light, you examine yourself as best you can.

    Impossibly, many of your wounds have already healed. In fact, they're barely even scars. Massaging your face, you feel that your nose is the right shape again, and your cheeks have healed back over. Your mouth isn't exactly the shape that it used to be, but you think you can live with that.

    Gingerly, you probe your right eye socket. Nothing. Whatever regenerative powers you have apparently don't extend to eyeballs.

    Time to explore.

    You open the pod doors, Choppa in hand, feeling...bigger.

    In fact, you are slightly taller. It appears you're still growing. The panther, or "Jagwhar" as the Ork called it, is still very dead. It's actually pretty untouched, although the Ork has definitely passed into the rotting stage. You have no idea why.

    Choppa in hand, you examine the Jaguar. You can't help but notice you're completely naked, and the skin of the Jaguar looks especially thick. Even better, the skin and fur appears rather resistant to rotting.

    Roll a d100 for your success at making a Jaguarskin get-up.

    Your attempt at making clothes goes rather well. You're now clothed in the thick protective garb of the Jaguar's hide. You think it'll actually provide you with a measure of protection as well, considering it somewhat resisted the cutting power of your Choppa.

    Using some tendons, you take a couple Jaguar teeth and string them together into a tooth necklace, and string some of its claws onto your Choppa. Now everyone will know that you killed one of these fucking things.

    Speaking of everyone, you hope there's more to this planet than Orks, jungles, and monsters.

    Should we go exploring? How cautious should we be?

    Looking ahead of you, you can see the general path the pod must have taken as it crashed into the jungle.

    Cautiously, you begin walking down the path, by a few meters into the jungle, in order to stay out of side as much as possible.

    As you walk, you start getting a feel for the jungle. It's raucously loud, but making any noise yourself tends to silence everything at once; like the jungle holds its breathe in fear.

    Very quickly, you learn where to step in order to avoid crackling twigs and making a nuisance.

    After an hour or two at this, you're able to move fairly quietly through the underbrush. You aren't exactly a ghost, but you think you won't be attracting any undue attention simply by moving either.

    A few times, you hear something big get close, and you have to drop to the ground silently, and wait it out, but each time the danger passes, and you continue on.

    Every few minutes, you peek your head out along the path to make sure you're going to the right way. As you continue, the fog and mist in the sky begin to reveal a mountain, a mountain still on fire, presumably from your pod, you think.

    Go up to the mountain? It might be a nice place to survey our surroundings and determine where the hell we are.

    We have seen what the wildlife here is capable off, and we should do our outmost to avoid any more encounters. Walk cautiously beside the trail the pod made, freeze whenever you hear a sound, and do not move again until you are sure it's safe. Be on the constant lookout for danger.

    Also, see if we can do anything to camouflage our face and hands, to make them stand less out from the forest. The rest of our body should be covered by the panther leather, and therefore naturally camouflaged.

    You decide to ascend to the top of the mountain, and avoid trouble the best you can. Along the way, you find a massive tree gouged with MASSIVE claw marks. The tree is oozing mildly sticky dark sap, and so you spread it all over your body, giving you a nice camouflaged type effect. Between the sap, the leaves stuck to the sap, and the panther hide, you're pretty well suited for the jungle environment.

    You make it to the base of the mountain without any trouble, but as you begin your ascent, you hear Orkish voices quickly arguing and approaching your position.

    From what you can hear, they're following the path, but in the opposite direction, on orders to see if it's anything useful.

    >combining these.

    The Orks are relatively quiet, but you've adapted quickly and can tell generally where they are.

    Hiding behind a large tree, you keep dead silent as they pass you, a few feet to your left. In the midst of their argument, they miss you completely. You wait a few moments, and then leap forward.

    "Orks! Who is your master?" you bellow.

    They turn around, four in total. One of them is armed with some kind of primitive gun, but the other three have Choppas of various makes and designs.

    Immediately, the one with the gun aims his weapon, and the other three snarl and approach with their axes raised.

    apparently, they're not willing to parley.

    Again, as you act, your reflexes become preternaturally fast. You leap towards the nearest Ork, hacking off the arm holding the Choppa at the elbow, and easily manhandle the Ork into position in front of you.

    The Shoota Ork is unprepared for your lightning fast movement, and is clearly a terrible shot, he rattled off a few machine gun bursts around you wildly, hitting the Orks around you.

    A few bullets thud into the Ork you hold in front of you and he yells in rage.

    You snap his neck and quickly hack the other two Choppa Orks to pieces before they have a chance to defend themselves.

    The Shootah Ork tried to fire at you again, as you stand in front of him, but his gun misfires and jams. He has no idea what you are, furry, darkened by sap, holding a Choppa and covered in Ork blood.

    You swat the gun out of the Ork's hands, and headbutt him. Gently.

    He collapses in a big, green heap, and you throw him over your shoulder. Making your way back through the jungle with a 300 pound Ork on your back is a test of your newly acquired forestry skills, but you've improved by an impressive amount in a very short timespan.

    You make it back to your pod with virtually no trouble, although the Ork on your back stirs and needs to be "calmed" a few more times on the way.

    You throw him into your pod, and having a bright thought, strap him into the seat, using the buckles to ensure he can't escape,. You leave the other corpse in there for general effect.

    The Ork comes to, after you give him a healthy slap.

    He narrows his eyes. What do you ask him?

    Before he gets a chance to speak, you ask him how many other Boys there are, and what weapons they have.

    He spits in your face.

    You punch him in the gut, but maybe a little too hard: you have to pull your fist out of his guts with an audible sucking noise. He passes out from the pain.

    You ask him again when he wakes up, and this time he's more forthcoming.

    "We'ze got a hundred Boyz at least, you humie bastard! Wiff Shootaz and Choppaz and our Mekboy Skrewbolt is building somefing even bigga! He sez it'll be ded killy, and they'll all come lookin fer ya when we don't come back."

    You do so, but he only knows the location of his Ork encampment with any confidence. He says the humies are mostly outside the jungle, on the coast, but doesn't know more than that.

    As for other Orks, he can only tell rumors of an Ork Warlord sweeping south through the jungle with a large army; but his tribe of Orks is convinced they're very far away and doomed to fail anyways; there's much more dangerous things in the jungle than jaguars.

    He refuses to elaborate on what those more dangerous things are, he's convinced that speaking of them will summon them.

    You've gotten all the information you can from this Ork, and you're really hungry. You think you could probably get him to guide you back to his camp, but you're also really hungry.

    You knock the Ork out again with a tap to the head, and use your choppa to cut off his arms. There's enough meat on them for a good-size meal, and you figure he's tough enough to survive the double amputation.

    Taking apart the shootah, it's actually astonishingly simple. You're beginning to be confused about how you know anything about weapon design, or Orks, or even how to speak; you don't remember anything prior the pod door opening.

    The jam is actually easy to fix, although the gun is still pretty misfire prone, nothing to do about that.

    The Ork awakens to find both his arms missing, and begins shrieking almost girlishly. You punch him across the face but he keeps screaming, so you knock him out again.

    When he wakes back up, he's definitely wild-eyed. He'll live, but you're not quite sure if he's as stable as he used to be, if Orks can ever be said to be stable.

    You tell him you're in charge, and you want to go back to his camp. He nods frantically in agreement before you even finish your demands. Clearly, he's terrified of you.

    You unstrap him, and use your choppa to construct a big leash around his neck. You tell him it's for two things; making sure he can't run away, and tying him to a tree for the Jaguars if he tries to fuck with us.

    You start out back down the path you came from, Ork leading, but before you get too far, you use the sap from a tree to pack up the Ork's wounds. You don't want the blood to attract things.

    Roll two 1d100's, one for the armless wonder to lead us in the correct direction, and one to avoid attention from jungle predators.

    You and the Ork have been making good progress up the path, although the Ork needs to be reminded about where you're heading every ten minutes or so. It seems his attention span has been adversely affected by your treatment of him. After more threatening, he eventually leads you around the mountain, rather than up it, stating that terrible monsters live up there. You're okay with avoiding terrible monsters, and he says that the camp isn't too far ahead, and you can follow a river most of the way there. You find the river after a hell of a lot of backtracking, and you don't really need your guide any longer, but you figure speaking to the Orks will be easier if you bring an "interpreter" with you. About twenty minutes after finding the river and starting your way down it, you hear something roar. Loudly.

    The Ork whimpers in terror, and immediately tries to flee, but you yank him back towards you. You whisper to him to ask what the hell it is and what you should do, but after you ask you hear extremely heavy footsteps and heavy, deep breathing, you both dive to the ground into some bushes and keep absolutely still.

    Something absolutely enormous steps overhead to drink, but you don't get a good look at it. Altogether, you get the impression the best way to deal with it would be to run away. Quickly.

    Luckily, it doesn't appear to have noticed you, and suddenly, it leaps into the river.It must have been much deeper than you thought, because it swifter disappears from view, and does not resurface.

    The rest of the hike continues without event, and eventually, you reach an Orkish sign that indicates the camp is ahead.

    Fearlessly, you drag your pet Ork inside the camp, and you get a good look.
    >> PoorDM 10/23/10(Sat)19:32 No.12548493
    It's mostly a series of huts centered around a huge bonfire; and sentries with primitive shootahs stand on top of shoddily built platforms raised about ten feet high. You get the impression that animals only stay away due to the loudness of the shootahs, rather than fear of being killed. At the far end of the camp, you see sparks and flashing lights; that must be the Mekboy's hut. The Ork you have leashed greatly exaggerated their numbers, there couldn't be more than 60 Orks total.

    Must just be enough to fend off any wild animals, you think.

    You unleash your Ork, who promptly runs into one of the huts and starts yelling about the new jungle monster (you).

    Orks immediately jump out of their huts, but they aren't armed, just yet. Looking at you warily, they're not sure what you are or what you want, especially since you brought a terribly maimed Ork back to camp. They stare at you.

    What do you say to them?

    The other Orks began chanting and shouting; they think a good fight's on the way.

    You shift your Choppa and Shoota in your left and right hands, respectively.

    Before the Mekboy exits his tent; something flashes in your mind; the image of the Mekboy.

    His lower jaw is metal, his shootah is much larger and of higher quality than yours, and he has a large backpack for an unknown purpose. In the image, he's surrounded by a field of orange lightning.

    Blinking, you clear your vision to see the Mekboy exit the tent. He matches your vision precisely. You clear your mind; no time for day dreaming at the moment.

    Roaring, you charge forwards, holding your shootah like a pistol and unleashing a rather inaccurate hail of bullets in the Mekboy's direction, letting loose another sonic boom of a roar, "THIS IS MY WARBAND NOW."

    The bullets land all around him, scoring a few hits, but mostly just pissing him off.

    With blinding speed for an 8-foot giant, you dodge left among the Ork spectators, shouldering your way through them and using their bodies as a limited shield.

    The Mekboy continues to unload his shootah at you, but the recoil is too strong for any accuracy in prolonged bursts; he hits mostly his own Orks, although a bullet punchs a hole through your right thigh. You barely feel it, as you close to melee range.

    Your eyes flash over the Mekboy, and you see a crack in the barrel of the Mekboy's gun as you swing your Choppa down to sever his arm.

    The Mekboy partially deflects the blow with his shoota, which splits into two pieces, and you bury your axe into his bicep, but don't cleave all the way through.

    Rolling to the side to dodge the Mekboy's wild choppa strike, you smash your shootah against his knee while you pull the trigger, obliterating the flesh behind it.

    The Mekboy screams in rage and pain, and you stand as the Mekboy topples over.

    As he lays in the litter of mud and leaves, his backpack starts to make whirring noise, as if it was charging. You kick him in the face as hard you can with your heel, and you hear the sick crunch of nose being driven back into his skull.

    The Boy falls back dead, silently, as his backpack continues to charge.

    Suddenly, you have another split-second vision; the backpack exploding with fiery orange bolts of energy frying you, as you stand over the Boy.

    Time slows as you realize that this is about to happen.

    You throw yourself backwards quickly, and as you roll away, the backpack explodes in a burst of orange power.

    Nothing is left of the Boy, except the metal jaw. Sadly, your Choppa is destroyed. You stand holding your shoota, as you turn to face the other Orks.

    The others stare at you, and a large Ork menacingly steps forward, about to say something.

    Your shoota misfired and jams completely.

    The Ork grins and sprints forward.

    You respond by throwing the shoota as hard as possible at the Ork, and the force of the blow is hard enough to knock him out.

    You march over to his unconscious form and curbstomp his face until he doesn't have one.


    You look up at the Orks and say, "Anyone else want to pick a fight?"

    They stare silently at you. You think that means you just took control of an Ork mob.

    You aren't an Ork, although you're certainly tough enough to lead them if you want, and you're still getting stronger day by day. It's entirely possible that by the time you get to the Warlord to the north, you could defeat him and take over his Waaagh!

    North, it is.

    You tell your mob what's going on. We're joining up with the Big Boss up north, joining his Waaagh! and generally fucking shit up.

    You find the biggest Ork you can, and tell him he's your second in command. He takes your orders very seriously and calls you One Eye.

    You like that.

    As the Orks pack, you got to the Mekboy's shop and pick up some Ork armor. It would be extremely uncomfortable on your bare flesh, since it's basically scrap metal welded together, but when it's over your Jaguar pelt it's actually pretty wearable.

    You also find a high quality Choppa, and another Big Shoota in the shed.

    Walking out, the Orks seems much more comfortable with your command. After all, you're the same size as a Boss, wearing Ork armor and using Ork weapons.

    They get packed and ready, and you head north, along the river.

    You have about 50 Slugga Boyz under your command, and about 10 Shoota Boyz. There's virtually no dissension.

    Roll a 1d100 for your first day of travel. Talking to your Ork Lieutenant, it'll take at least three days to get out of the jungle, and into the open plains, where the Warlord is supposedly headed.

    also, roll another 1d100 for teaching the Orks to beatbox for morale bonuses, haha

    The mek in the camp was actually pretty terrible, his shoota are of low quality, and he was just figuring out how to make big shootas.

    The 'ded killy' thing I was going to have him work on was just a Wartrukk, but we arrived at the camp early, so it was still only a pile of scrap. We took everything useful from the camp.

    You and your boyz make good progress through the jungle. Following the river in order to avoid any major monster attacks, you have the shoota boyz take point, while you guard the rear of the battalion.As you march, you attempt to teach them how to beatbox, but either the concept or the method of how to beatbox is completely lost at them.

    Strangely, the Orks don't challenge your command as often as you might have imagined. In fact, they seem generally downtrodden. They still argue vehemently amongst themselves, but as soon as you approach, it quiets down to silence almost immediately.

    If you didn't know better, you'd say they were a little depressed that their previous leaders were slain so easily by a non-Ork.

    A few times, Jaguars performed quick strikes on a Slugga boy, dragging him off into the jungle to be eaten, but you've had no major losses.

    Setting up camp for the night, you're about to send a squad of five shoota boyz into the jungle to find something to eat. Do you accompany them?

    Roll a 1d100 with your course of action.

    You head out in a loose formation to maximize your killing potential, leaving your second in command in charge for a short time.

    All of the Orks possess a degree of skill in hunting and tracking, and without too much work, your hunting party picks up the tracks of something big.

    Eventually, around dusk, your party silently comes upon a family of jungle boars; each one of them quite large. Giving hand signals you taught the Orks earlier, five of you form a firing line in the jungle, while the sixth (and sneakiest) Ork creeps around to the other side of the grouping of beasts.

    Shouting and firing his shootah at the boars, the Ork drives them towards your firing line, and you lay into the pigs.

    You're the only one with enough sense to be accurate and fire in bursts, but soon enough, five of the pigs lay dead, and only one managed to get away.

    You drag the pigs back to camp, where you eat your fill, and leave the Orks to divide up the rest amongst themselves. At dinnertime, they become the Orks you'd expect; violent, rambunctious, and generally unpleasantly greedy.

    You set up a night watch, and sleep.

    For the first time since your awakening in the pod, you sleep uneasily and dream, but you can't exactly remember what about.

    You awake in the morning, and have much more success teaching the Orks how to beatbox. Maybe they were just nervous, before. Anyways, the rhythm gives your mob a marching speed bonus, and you make great time, exiting the jungle just after dusk.

    That night, you camp at the edge of the great plains.

    Anything you'd like to do before retiring to bed? Teach the Orks how to fire accurately, start drilling them for tactics?

    Roll for 1d100 on the success of your actions, if any.

    Teach these bags of skin some combat formations, and the shootas on how to concentrate fire... make up in accuracy with sheer volume. Keep the teef/tusks of the boars for currency (if we know that).

    Once they start learning some basics, THEN we'll work on accuracy.

    >>12549750

    You teach the Orks some basic drills; how to fire together, how to fire in bursts, how to use cover. Likewise, you teach the Sluggas how to move in formation and form combat lines.

    They take to it extremely quickly, probably due to the fact the information is already subsconscious, just needs to be brought out.

    Your force of 56 Boyz are now much more organized (well, by Ork standards). You have the feeling they'd do much better in a pitched battle if the time ever comes.

    The Ork economy is already thriving, and they've taken to carving a jaguar's head with one eye over their gear as the symbol of the mob. They've already half-forgotten the Mekboy who used to run the show, and altogether they seem happier and healthier than they did in the jungle. You figure it's the strong leadership you provide.

    As for your gear, all you can really do is bend it a bit to fit you better, which you promptly do (+5 to agility!). By hand. Your strength is still increasing day by day, and you're now almost half a foot taller than you were when you exit the pod. You take this as the natural state of affairs for humans, having nothing to compare yourself to.

    Unfortunately, you left most of the scrap metal behind at the old campsite; however, most of the Boyz copied your style in some manner or another before you left, so they're not entirely unprotected.

    You'll keep your (one) eye out for more scrap in the future however.

    You tuck in for the night and tell the Boyz to do the same.

    You dream uneasily again; this time of rivers that shift and split their course at moment's notice. You notice uneasily that the rivers seem to consist of blood, and the gurgling of the brooks that divert from the main waterway sounds an awful lot like screaming. The dream ends with you unsuccessfully trying to ford a river by foot, being pulled away with the current no matter how hard you swim against it.

    You wake up in the morning before the Boyz, and rouse them all. You have no idea where this
    Warlord is at, so your solution to send small scouting parties out across the fields at regular intervals, and march the main mob directly north. The scouting parties can track well enough to find their way back to the main mob, so they won't be lost.

    You stay with the main mob, but you send your second in command directly north with the biggest scouting group.

    Roll a 1d100 for what they find, if anything.

    Our scouting parties are pretty successful.

    Nearly all of them find something interesting.

    To the west, the scouting party brings back some looted scrap, apparently from a "metal boar". You assume that means some kind of armored vehicle, but the armor the Orks bend it into is particularly strong and light; you net yourself a suit of it (toughness bonus!), and you have them make more for your elite Choppa Squad, consisting of yourself, your Lieutenant, and handful of the biggest Sluggas. They call themselves the Green Panthers (ohohooh).

    The Orks that went north-east come back with a nothing but a flag, but it's not Orkish in design; you assume it's some kind of human heraldry. Bars of alternating blue and red on simple cloth.

    Your second in command comes with great news, he found the corpses of huge Orks bearing the Warlord's symbol, but oddly, their weapons were missing and they were all beheaded. The warlord is definitely in that direction.

    The other Orks return with a shitload of food; apparently the plains has a huge abundance of herbivoric reptilians.

    All in all, successful day. You train with your new elite Choppa squad, and the other Orks train amongst their divisions as well. You set the night watch as usual, and get ready for bed.

    Anything else you guys want to do? This is the calm before the storm.

    Actually, we don't have fire. In the jungle, everything is way too wet to start any kind of combustion reaction, and so far in the plains, you haven't seen anything that would burn for very long, only grass.

    If you see some kind of tree out here you'll have the Orks cut it down for fuel though.

    You begin marching north.

    Day by day, your Orks become more well-disciplined, and unlike a regular Warboss, you aren't satisfied with "somewhat" disciplined. Before long, they're fighting nearly as efficiently as you think Orks can fight.

    You continue to have unsettling dreams however, all on the common theme of getting involved in wars you don't understand.

    Finally, on the morning of the fifth day, you awaken the troops and begin to march northwards.

    You, being much taller than the other Orks, see the dustclouds of something approaching in the distance. You assume it's a Warboss raiding party, and quickly tell your Orks to form a combat line of Sluggas ahead, Shootas behind.

    Roll a 1d100 for how quickly the Orks assemble, another 1d100 for how sick your Lieutenant's warbeat is (he's become very good at it), and lastly another 1d100 for the approaching force.

    The Orks scramble into position at a snail's pace, most of them forgetting where to go in the excitement of the moment.

    "Damn it!" you shout, waving them into correct positioning. They know better than this, you think sourly. At least the Lieut's beat is pretty good today, you think. The Orks begin chanting and rapping over the beat; the effect is actually pretty menacing.

    As the armed force approaches, you realize it's not Orks at all.

    They're tiny humans, much smaller than yourself, on top of sinous six-legged panther-lizards. You see them halt in confusion; they've clearly never seen Orks that group in defensive positions, let alone divide by armament and chant war songs while doing so.

    You see that they're armored in lighter metal than the Orks, but they're also carrying some kind of shootah you're not familiar with.

    You realize the humans are preparing for an assault regardless.

    You run forwards out in front of the Orks, and get ready to...do what exactly? Even you aren't sure. Killing humans seems wrong, somehow, when you are one.

    You can't risk giving the humans the first strike and crippling your Boyz. Charging forward, you raise your Shoota and begin firing at the mounted humans, unleashing a sonic roar.

    The Boyz follow suit, Sluggas sprinting after you, and Shootas firing wildly just behind. Any semblance of discipline they may have shown prior to this was lost as you charged the humans personally, they're in complete frenzy mode.

    The humans, who number about 50, charge in return, their shouting much quieter and generally not as frightening.

    The first volley of Ork bullets strikes the humans, felling a handful of the their first line, but generally doing very little damage.

    You have a split-second vision of the future, of the human returning fire with impossibly powerful beams of light, fired from their strange shootas. You realize with dread they're armed with lasguns rather than projectile weaponry, something you were NOT expecting.

    IN your vision, your heart is being pierced by said lasfire, and so you throw yourself onto the ground just before the humans open fire.

    The charged lasgun shots are powerful; they cut through your Boyz like butter, dropping a third of your forces in the first volley alone. The Boyz volley back with much less volume; and after the humans return fire once more, the Boyz don't fire back at all.

    You peer up from your grounded position to see their lizard panthers leap out, claws extended, to gore Sluggas, as their riders kill another Boy with their terrible guns.

    All too quickly, every last Boy is either wounded or dead.

    One of the lizard-panthers makes the mistake of choosing you to eat next, it leaps at you and you have only a split-second to respond.

    What do you do? Roll a 1d100 and give a course of action.

    Oh, you poor fa/tg/uys, how I tried to tell you killing wasn't the answer.

    You might have actually won this battle had you rolled better, actually. Then you and your Boyz would have had some fucking sweet guns to use against the Warlord.

    Regardless, roll under the bastard, give him a good whack in the chest. Stand up, and raise my hands- I don't wanna take them all on.

    He's probably dead. He came back out with the Orks as we left the camp, probably due to his complete terror of us. He wouldn't have lived too long armless and alone in that jungle though.

    We're still going to teach them beatboxing.

    Stab that fucker up through the bottom of the jaw into it's brain.

    Stand up and yell, "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!"

    Maybe their confusion lasts long enough for us to escape... things look bad. Description was way lower than their damage potential.

    I don't think we can withstand lasgun fire, and they probably will kill us. Although as a 'human' I guess we might have some lienancy and they could go through the mistake of taking us through a 'trial'... that's when we escape.

    Kill lizard, then stand down and negotiate/delay... for now.

    >yeah, I know, I was hoping you guys would majority vote to negotiate as well, you're not going to like this next part too much.

    Quickly rolling to your feet, you punch the reptile-cat behind the eyes, knocking it out cold.

    Quickly dropping your weapons, you loudly and clearly state, "Don't shoot! I am not an Ork."

    The humans all aim at you with their rifles.

    "I surrender peacefully. Please allow me to speak with your leader."

    You pray to Mork that they speak the Ork language, it's the only one you know.

    Roll 1d100 for how the humans react to your surrender.

    Totally said they were preparing for an assault and looking to attack. Also: what kind of ork would NOT shoot at a human, even if told by a superior?

    Kind of a lose/lose situation if you ask me... that and apparently the rolls were dismal enough for our entire frakking army to be destroyed.

    The lizard panther crashes down upon you bearing you to the ground with it's weight and the force of it's charge. Snapping jaws fleck your face with foam as the beast's talons sink deep into your green flesh, drawing trickles of crimson from each needle like puncture.

    A mixture of desperation and exaltation washes over you, the loss of your boyz has left you deeply shaken and you can feel your resolve slipping even as you fight to keep the lizard panther's cock from penetrating deep inside you. A cruel rake of it's claws draws yet more blood from your shoulder and a moan of ecstasy from your lips, the monster's sadism excites you orgasmically and soon your cock squig rises to match the creature's girth.

    The violence of your tussle remains unabated even as you and the lizard panther are soon locked in a passionate embrace of eachother's genitals, sucking and throating it's leathery dick for all your worth you try to suppress your own premature ejaculation.

    But you're fighting a losing battle, before you can finish your opponent off you let loose a sloppy stream of squig seed all over the lizard panther's face and with each delicious shudder you fall deeper into a defeated remission.

    "Prove it."

    A man on a lizard-panther rides forward a bit, keeping his lasrifle aimed at your face.

    It's a reasonable request, you think.

    You slowly remove your armor, revealing yourself to be eight feet tall, missing an eye, with a badly scarred face, yes, but definitely closer to human than Ork.

    When the commander catchs a glimpse at your Jaguar necklace though, his eyes bulge.

    "Who are you?!" he gasps.

    You, of course, have no idea.

    "The Orks called me One-Eye. I have no other name."

    This seems to make a huge impression on the other human soldiers, they begin to murmur amongst themselves.

    "Tie him up. We're bringing him back to Lord Axahatl."

    The soldiers comply, tying your hands with laughably weak cord; you could break your bonds by sneezing, and tying the other end to one of the pantherlizards.

    The men begin marching back the way they came, you half-walking half-jogging to keep up.

    Well, I've been running this quest for almost nine hours now. Time to end today's session. Does anyone want to put this on sup/tg/, I have no idea how.

    I'll stick around to answer any questions you might have, as well.
