>>12719005

Rodwen frowns, thinking. "Its much more a matter of luck in this regard. Your sisters are generally skilled with a gun, correct? If you wish to call them now, I must suggest melee heavy."

(i fyou wanna summon them now you need to tell me what units you want)

I think we'll hold on for the moment, see what we're up against first
I'm pretty certain the sisters can put up enough of a fight that we won't be able to scout out our enemies

>>12719151
Well fuck your shit, I'm having fun!

>>12719488
What Eldar units can we bring in?
I'm sorry to say I'm not at all familiar with them
How many as well?

>>12719667
I'd like to know how many Eldar we can expect as well

>>12719801

i will roll for that

>>12719632

What your rolling for is to get your units now or later. its not a matter of if the sisters can handle it. its a matter of unit balance. if you wait you can taylor your army but the army will be less informed and could be taken by surprise. If you get them now you can brief them and they will be more effective but the choices wont be taylored.

>>12720019
I'll take them now then
(Since, again, I have no idea how to pick Eldar units)
As the Scout Marines say "Always be Prepared!"

>>12719667

pretty much any infantry unit. banshees, warp spiders, warriors, harlequins, etc

>>12720019
>>12720126
If we bring them in now- do we pick them, or does Rowdan do that for us?

>>12720126
Alright, our sisters are pretty damn shooty, at the moment
We've got Farseer Rowdan and her warp spiders to cover the psyker aspects
I'd say we go with Eldar Rangers in the high balustrades and crevices and towers andmurderholes a place like this will most defiantly have
The maze like opulencfe of the cathedral would also lend itself to Warpspiders and their form of aggressive defence as well
Dire avengers, just cause they're flexible
And striking Scorpions to round us out on close combat and Melee

>>12720307
Sorry- the Farseers Warlocks, not warpspiders

>>12720307
>>12720313
I'd like some Fire dragons- for when the heavily armored Chaos Space marines start showing up
(We ever find out what chapters they were?)

>>12720336

you'll find out when you encounter one :P

>>12720307
Either howling banshees or Scorpions for our Close combat,
maybe both?
Scorpions for canon fodder, Banshees to help tackle the big deamons?

>>12720365
Of course we will

(I'm going to bed now OP- some other anon can work out my suggestions)

Okay, I'm going to go with
Avengers
Rangers
Fire Dragons
Banshee + Scorpions
Warp Spiders
Sound good?

anybody?

>>12721139

been reading up on the specifics of each. sounds fine to me. if anyone else wants to put their two cents in thats cool.

aaanyone else? i know theres quite a few ppl in this quest...

>>12722397
Bump.
If we can get more than 1 unit of each type we should focus on the melee aspects. Banshee + Scorpions cover that, right? Banshees are good vs heavy infantry and Scorpions vs light infantry, correct?
As our troops are properly armoured and traitor guard shouldn't be able to do much damage to them in close quarters without vehicle support, I'd propose to call for more Banshees than Scorpions (More waifu material as well).

Also, I'm off to university for the next few hours.

>>12724226
I second this
The sisters and their storm bolters should separate the traitor guards from the more heavily armored opponents like wheat from chaff
When it comes to Heavy armor, where it will count, should be Banshees
So, yeah, ratio of Banshees to Scorpions should be in favor of Banshees

>>12722397
that's quite a wishlist we have so far OP
What else can we ask for?
Wraithguard?

>>12724429
Farseer Macha. We might do her a "certain" favour...

Could we get some bonesingers, to help construct defenses to repair armor and weaponry?

>>12724467
(Rowden= Eternal Virgin in LoTR Elvin
Farseer Rowden the ever Virgin
Macha= Rodwn)

Can we call on the other Units currently stationed in the city center, or are they all occupied at the moment?

>>12724497
If I might say so:
"Just as planned."

>>12724526
You can say that
AFTER the battle, and if we somehow manage to escape it alive

Would Harlequins be useful here?
( I don't know anything about them, except for their fluff)

>>12724497

yay someone figured it out!

She's not as macha ish as i thought she'd turn out tho.

>>12724489

yes. You could get bonesingers.

guys you need to prioritize what squads you want. You could get more or less than what you asked for depending on the roll.

also, because i'm still waking up and this popped up into my mind. I hate the howling banshees in "last stand" in DoW2

>>12724862
(Well, considering Macha as depicted by /tg/ generally is just looking to get laid, it'd be pretty hard to keep her serious. Not that I'd be oppose to her being a little friendlier)

>>12724913
I have no idea what "Last Stand," is, as I've never played DoW2
How bad were they?

>>12724913
>>12724913
Alright, prioritized
Banshees
Scorpions
Fire Dragons
Rangers
Warpspiders
Bonesingers
Dire Avengers

>>12724923

4 heros vs like 100 banshees.... if they get into close combat your screwed. the most effective way to deal with them is to use the farseer's group teleport to poof behind a moving wall and then eldritch storm them.

>>12724933

Okk. i'll write the scene in 30 minutes or so since i have to drive to class.

>>12725166
Also, if there are any slots left open
Round them out with Wraithguard or Harlequin
If no Wraithgurad then just Harlequin

"You'll have to forgive me, Farseer Rowdan, I always got bad grades in Xenology back in schola."

>>12725584
Sure, we'll take some

>>12725584
Yeah, put Harlequins above Bonesingers in importance, I think
At the very least put them above Dire Avengers

>>12725905
"You say Luck, I say will of the Emperor works in mysterious ways.
Potato- potatoh.
Come on, would it kill you to smile?
...
Oh, right, Eldar.
So, how do you think we should prepare for this coming battle? You know these troops better then I could ever hope to- their strengths and weakness, their preference in battle, etc.
I have my own battle plans, but am more then willing to defer to you."

>>12725905
right, now what?
Battle plan?

>>12725905
'Yeah fortunate enough to be having to hold this gorram cathedral from an unknown number of insane fanatics, deamons, and chaos space marines.
Frack my luck. Well, at the very least, I've got you... and your forces, of course."

>>12725905
Wow, we got everything on the wishlist
that's pretty damn good luck

"Alright, sisters, gather round- I want you to get acquainted with these fine Gentleman and ladies of the Craftworld Biel-Tan
They've graciously decided to help us today in our little endeavor, so I'll ask you to please remember that they are on our side- that means working with them, no matter how abhorrant they seem, sharing information, coordinating movements, etc., etc.
I'm sure, if you give it a little, you'll find them all very polite- At least a damn sight more polite then me- and that you have more in common then you think. For example- these Fire dragons just LOVE burning the forces of chaos to ash, isn't that right Rowdan? "

>>12726290
Well, fair's fair, the Eldar probably think of the as Filfthy mon'keigh

>>12726290
"Well, as far as marital strength goes, we're good on heavy weapons- Sister Anna here shows a truly blessed wickedness with the stormbolter, and her squad follows suit.
....
And that's about it."
I guess we need a rough layout of the Cathedral now- did our scout servo-drones ever give us a description of it?

>>12726448
"As far as close combat?
Well, you have me- I'm fairly adept with a forceblade and am pretty comptent as far as biomancy goes.
Then you have Filigree- don't mind the whip, I'm using it to teach her responsibility.
And then there's the twin- though she might not be of much use in this situation, seeing as her jump pack is damaged.
....
Again, that's about it."

>>12726448
"Farseer Rowden, if I understand what little I know of the Harlequins correctly, shouldn't one of them be knowledgeable enough on the topic of the human body to help our wounded ally?"

>>12726448
> marital strength
Er...

Also,
>>12719005 Imperial Titan description
oh argh come on D:

>>12726493
Either that, or we could get the warp spiders to transport her somewhere with better medical help
Or bring medical help to us

>>12726548
alright, alright
I meant martial

WAITING FOR OP

>>12726448
>>12726480

You give instructions to some servo drones, one quickly returning with a dataslate containing a floorplan of the entire facility.

The farseer nods in approval. "Still, gaining information of the battle of around us would be good. I, for one, am curious to find out how the other mon-keighs are fairing."

She made her way over to the small army of eldar, speaking to them in a foreign language. The newly arrived Eldar cheered as the Farseer riled them into a battle mindset, your teeth and jaw aching from the cheers from the Howling Banshees.

brb need to drive my friend somewhere.

>>12728483
"Well, if one thing can be said of you, you know how to do your job well. I don't think I've ever managed to rile my own guardsmen up that much to face oncoming threats. It's all "Glory to the first man to die," right up until there's a chance to be killed.
I've been trying the auspex for some time- lot's of warp interferance though. "
Try to raise someone, ANYBODY on the comm channels
"Is anybody still out there? If you've gone and died on me I will be quite cross,"

>>12728499
>>12728483
(right)
"You and I both Farseer- damn auspex must be infested with mites or something. Can never get this thing to work when I want it too. If there's a machine spirit in this, it must be particularly petulant."

"Hello, anybody out there? This Inquistor Delessa Kravos- I need a report on the situation.
Hello, anyone out there?"

>>12728483
"Will do- tell me, any of these fellows familiar with medicae skills?"

Waiting for OP
again

>>12731352

I told you guys i'd be afk. I'm still gonna be gone a bit longer. was invited to dinner. came back to bump and tell you i'll be on all night

rolled 26 = 26

>>12731907
Right
Enjoy yourself OP

bump

back and back! I live again and such.

where were we...

Finding out what the situation was
Hitting on Eldar Farseer
Trying to survive impending deamon invasion
You know, the usual

>>12728675
>>12728534

It was Florencia who replied, her voice not entirely clear but understandable.

"Dammit Inqusitor! I'm insulted!" You heard a loud crack and squealch as she crushed some poor creature's skull with her massive hammer. "To think that I'd die to a petty band of Chaos Marines and daemons!"

You heard another crunch and a wet gurgling sound. Galatea's voice came over the radio. "Florencia! Found you at last! My radio is down, but the other squads are falling back to the inner ring so we can concentrate our firepower more and to get out of the way of those titans!"

Florencia addressed you again "We're heading your way Inqusitor! There won't be any areas of dead communication with everyone so close together. Status reports should be coming in soon. Over and out!"

The radio cut off but not before you hear another crash of the thunderhammer and the distinct mechanical whirr of Galatea's powerfist as she crushed a heretic's skull.

>>12734213

Sure enough, about a minute later, reports began coming in. Casualties were extremely high, but the enemy's losses had to be three times that much. Long range communication reports reveal that the other cities are not doing nearly as well as this one, especially since there were a handful of other titans scattered about on the surface. You manage to get in contact with Sonja and Verity, despite the constant radio chatter, and switch frequencies.

They both agree to return to the center, Sonja first going to find Tessa and Elizabeth before returning so she could be awhile.

You were about to breathe a sigh of relief when you heard a voice. "Quizzy!" It was Filigree. She was in the hallway leading to the roof.

You make your way over to her. she had attached the lash high on her right arm, the tentacles spilling out where her pauldron used to be. It had caused a problem, however. Spreading like a bruise or rash from the area of embedment was a haze of purple. The lash had restored her lavender skin tone from her wrist to partway up her cheek.

The lash itself was gently holding her lightning claws.

"The claws will cover most of my arm, but not my face. The eldar will shoot me on sight looking like this..."

>>12734216
"Filigree, why is it that anything you involve yourself with becomes infinately more complicated then it needs to be. I'm beginning to think that I should have saved myself some trouble and just blammed you when I had the opportunity.
Are you sure you want to use the lash? You were pretty effective with your lightning claws as is.
If not-Here. I know you don't like armor, but wear a helmet. it's that, or end up being blasted by Eldar."

>>12734286

She whined, shaking her head. "You will not cover up my pretty face! I still have a bit of pride left. Just tell them something..."

She paused for a moment. "And things get more complicated around me because life is dull without strife. Also, I'm totally worth it."

>>12734216
"Here, just take some robes from the cloisters- make sure you keep the hood up, and no one will be none the wiser."

>>12734307
>>12734307
"You do know that they are eldar, right? I'm surprised they haven't sniffed you out as a deamonette yet, as is.
But, I'll try to explain it away- hopefully the Farseer will be too busy gearing up for battle to worry about one more ball of trouble running around.
Make sure to keep yourself covered, though- it'd be best if you tried not to flaunt your new skin color.
As I said before, why not wear one of these robes?"

>>12734307
"Honey, your face won't be very pretty when a Firedragon burns it off- trust me on this one."

>>12734307

"Ugh... I mentioned you had the whip before but i'm fairly certain Rodwen didn't really understand what I meant by that..."

I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"I'll just tell her your an expendable acolyte trained to assimilate a daemon weapon for a battle and be blammed after its over to avoid corruption or something. The eldar think we are barbaric savages anyway so they'd probably believe that."

>>12734307
"I know Filigree- but you have no idea how having a deamonette running around makes my life so complicated.
I'm an inquisitor, remember? Nominally we're not supposed to be on cordial speaking terms with deamons.
It doesn't help that I've got all these Sisters around, just raring to put heretics to the flames- and now that we have the Farseer of Biel-Tan, and, well.
Looking after you is getting more difficult by the hour,"

>>12734307
"You do know that you'll have to take it off as soon as we're finished fighting anyway, right?"
There are probably curtains, or some other type of cloth nearby.
"See Filigree, we can either cover up your face with some makeshift bandaging made from these XY instead of having you wear a helmet, or"
Get our mouth close to her ear not on the side with the whip, nearly touching her.
"I'll introduce you to a new kind of experience by either ripping that thing out or cutting it to a size where we can hide it under your armour."
Stand back while assessing our daemonette.
"However, there might be another way. You're not going to like it, but you'll have to stop yourself from indulging in the whip's pleasure. That should starve it enough to keep the purple out of your face."
Grab her hand and squeeze it.
"Don't worry. I know you can do it." Smile.

>>12734334
>>12734403
>>12734359
Hooray, participants!

>>12734385
>>12734359
>>12734334

She snatched the cloak angrily from you. "Yeah but is this going to do a lick of good when I actually have to fight?" The tendrils set the lightning claws down on the ground. "I do not have enough experience nor do they have the energy to retract fully into my body. The only way to remove these would be to dig them out of my arm. While I wouldn't mind you doing this but it would be difficult to fight with a limp arm."

She set the cloak off to the side. "Just tell the Farseer the acolyte thing. It will save us some awkwardness later and you'll be gone with me before the sisters wonder why I haven't been blammed yet."

>>12734432
"Alright- no promises though. The lady is psykic and can see into the future, it's hard to pull the wool over her eyes."

>>12734432
"Oh no! You're going to sit here and try to get these things under control. And don't even get the idea to use them on anybody. Especially yourself!"
Shoot her an angry glance.
"Get started. If you don't have enough experience to hide them, now is the time to learn. We still have some time before the enemies attack."

>>12734432
>>12734307
YAY! Not even 20 minutes between posts. I think you've set a new record.

>>12734458
>>12734456
Can we do both of these?
Talk to The Farseer while Filigree works on practicing her whipping skills?

>>12734474
I know rite?
I feel like I've slipped into a bizarro dimension or something

Soo, while waiting for OP
Are we going to tell Rowdan that Filigree is a deamonette, like everyone else?
I kind of think she's already figured it out

>>12734575
I'd say she's settled for "Don't ask - don't tell". Although any fights involving Filigree+whip and any allies are going to be one hell of a situation to defuse afterwards.

>>12734605
You think it was a good idea, giving her that whip?

>>12734474
>>12734485

:P

do decide how much you're willing to tell rodwen btw before you tell her.

>>12734613
Tell her that we've got an acolyte that's, um, somewhat slaanishified, but that we've got her under control at the moment, and am more then willing to terminate personally if things go sour
Pointedly remind her that, at this point, we can use every advantage we can get

>>12734613
"I'm sure you've sure noticed the oddities of this one, you Eldar aren't the race of the SECOND most-powerful psyker without reason. Let me assure you two things. Her loyalty to me is beyond any doubt and whatever you might have imagined, the truth is probably worse."

>>12734613
>20 minute updates
> :P
It feels as if we are becoming a real, grown-up quest.*sniff* I'm so proud of us.

>>12734613
"She's an abonimation, but she's my abonimation,"

>>12734647

So basically tell her this: >>12734359

but with more "she's under control. I swear" in it?

>>12734855

this IS a question since eldar tend to be, you know, a little sensitive about the whole slaanesh thing

>>12734855
With a bit more trolling, yes.
Don't we have some make-up to cover the pink colouring? We're a female inquisitor and surrouned by Sisters of Battle, there must be some. If not, simply smear some blood/grime on Filigree's face. There has to be more than enough of that given all the fighting. Boot polish should do in a pinch, and as a military operation if everything else fails, we should be able to get some of that.
I'm sorry I disappeared so suddenly, got to pay attention to my class.
Linear subspaces ;_;

>>12735202

She's purple, not pink, and regardless of Filigree's coloration, your gonna have to clear the lash with the farseer. I'll wait for you to have a break if you wanna write something out. I'm doing some work right now anyway.

>>12735202 here
"Filigree, stay in this room and try to get that whip under control. I'm sorry to say that looking cute isn't going to cut it this time, so get to work. And work on your complexion or I'll cover your face in boot polish."
Close the door behind us and walk over to the Farseer.
"Farseer Rowden, may I have a word with you?"
Get her to a spot where none of the others can listen.
"I know you've shown great patience in your dealings with the Sisters and me... however, I have to test your trust more than I ever did before. Do you think that I can be trusted in my judgement?"

a) If she answers in a positive way:
Do that cute, turning one of your feet in one place while looking down, gesture. If it is possible for inquisitors to blush, we should do it as well.
"Thank you for your trust. I'll keep this as short as possible. Which of your troops would be willing to fight with somebody wielding a whip of - erm...- you know who."
b) If she answers in a negative way:
"Thank you for being honest with me, Farseer. Keep your troops away from sector XY. I'll try to hold it with those loyal to me. If we're about to be overrun, I'll signal you."

>>12736503
Oh, and have Filigree keep the Lightning Claw on one hand and give her a laspistol or something equally useless for the one now housing the whip, so she can appear a little less heretical to the likes of Florencia. If we should meet them in a combat situation.

getting ready for class. will reply in a sec

>>12736472
Farseer Rowdan- can you spare me a moment?
Thank you- I appreciate this. As I’ve said before, my field of expertise lies outside the ordo xeno, so I’m only haltingly familiar with you and yours practices and cultural taboos. However, I can guess that, for the most part, you’re still holding a bit of a grudge against chaos in general, and Slaanesh in particular, about that whole “Destruction of the old empire in an orgy of decadence and soul eating,” thing. Am I right?
So, it’s safe to assume you’re probably not very likely to trust someone who openly employs deamons or deamon weapons. Am I right?
Well, I’m going to ask you that you give me the benefit of the doubt here.
My acolyte, Filigree, in case you haven’t noticed is, well, a bit of a risk taker- necessary in my line of work, but unfortunately rather likely to cause premature death do to blamming. Anyway, in the last battle, you saw the whip that thing was using- Filigree, for reasons that continue to escape, decided it would be a good idea for her to take the lash for herself and try to incorporate it in her armor. Which has worked, as far as I can tell- she seems to be in full psykic control and her willpower is intatct.
However, there have been a few side effects- dysphaseasi, random bouts of giggling, change in skin pigmentation, irritable bowels, etc., etc., and I’m afraid I’ll have to kill her soon, just to ensure that she doesn’t accidentally fall under chaos’ sway.
For now though, she remains functioning, and has proven extremely adroit with the weapon. In the coming battle, you know as well as I that we’ll need every ally and advantage we can scrape. Not to dance around the point, but do you think you could see to it to let Filigree into the battle under my control, and to tell your troops not to kill her on sight?

>>12736655

Replace every reference to Slaanesh 'Harry potter style', and she won't shoot you on the spot with her MIND BOOLETS. I.E. She who thirsts. Basic knowledge for an Inquisitor.

>>12737159
So you've finished those things?

>>12737305
She is totally ~uguu for us.

Damn it that the others are so close. We should have at least been able to hug her.

>>12737305
"Actually, I have another favor I'd like to ask you- if it looks like Filigree goes the way of the warp and she gets her claws into me, I'd like you to taking me out."

>>12737390
"take me out," not "taking me out," Gah
>>12737362
she seems more tsun-tsun then anything else so far
we're working at it though

>>12737694
I've just arrived give me 5 mins, if you please.

>>12737305
"There's nothing more I could ask for. Thank you."
We should at least meet with the Eldar team leaders. Before doing that we might want to check up on Filigree.
"So how you're doing with getting your new appendage under control? Any luck with the complexion?"

Not much to do except get to know our xenos reinforcements and wait for the other imperial troops to arrive. If we have any local Sisters in Anna's squad, those might want to show the bonesingers the best areas to contruct defences or repair damaged buildings.

>>12737305
"Thank you farseer- that’s more then I hoped for. More then I deserve really.
Good hunting out there- try to remember, this building is old and top heavy. We want to keep damage to it limited to the superficial at best. Too many joint works go down, and forty thousand tones of reinforced rockrete and gilted paneling will come down on our heads."

>>12737777
This- also, we'll probably want to get our armored repaired too, while we're at it

>>12737839
Let's also check back on the twins.

>>12737305
"Before you go Farseer- cigar? I don't know if your pre-battle traditions are anything like ours, (or even if you smoke) but we generally pass out nicotine based stimulants before we're about to get into the real thick of the bad fighting. If we win, we get together and light up after the battle. If we loose, well, you try and get a few puffs in before the living saint sings.
....
Generally that's used as a metaphor, but that may actually happen in this case,"

>>12738526
"Oh? I thought you liked getting up close and personal to the action."

>>12738526
>"Can I come out now?"
"Well... did you make any progress while I was gone? Let's make a deal, you'll get a lasgun/pistol if you can keep the lash from touching anyone inappropriately. Plasma if you get rid of the purple complexion and inferno if you manage to get the lash to vanish from sight. In your arm, nowhere else. 'Kay?"

>>12738526
"Filigree, I'm beginning to worry. You sure you can control this thing?"
"I'm not going to stop you if you want to use a gun. Here, which do you like? I know I have an inferno pistol I can probably give you- if you want, I can bug the sisters or the Farseer for something else."

>>12738526
"Yes, you can come out now. I was hoping that you'd be able to learn some more control over that thing- you said it was symbotic. How so?"

Bumps for the Bump God?

>>12740861

>>12740861
"I'll see if Sister Anna has one she can spare. I'd give you my own, but, well, I kind of need it.
Do you want to come along?"

>>12740861
"... The more I hear about that whip, the less I like it.
Alright, I''ll see about getting you a bolter gun. Any particular preference for ammunition? I'm still pretty good on my psycannon shells, so I could give you soon, and I know the sisters love their immolater rounds,"

>>12741437
>>12741625
Must you spoil the damonette so? How will you ever teach her any self control if you constantly give her whatever she wants?

>>12741625
>>12741437

Filigree nodded, following you. Now that you could see her better, you took note that most of the tentacles had been cut or completely ruined by the fight. There were several shorter ones that looked functional and three long ones that still had their barbs.

"Uhh... What kinds of ammunition are there Quizzy. I really don't know that much about the variations of your weaponry."

Sister Anna looks like she's struggling not to maul Filigree as she hands the elated daemon a shiny new bolt pistol.

>>12741690

I like spoiling her. if she's happy she's more likely to make us happy if you know what i mean.

She's a trap tentacle daemonette for emprah's sake! Fun times shall ensue!

I also like how she's portrayed as an embodiment of curiosity suggesting theres quite a bit of variety between daemonettes

>>12741767
Should we see to it the unfunctional tentacles from the whip are pruned?

>>12741767
"Peace Sister Anna- we're all on the same side here, remember that. For the moment, at least. Filigree is just curious about the the different kinds of ammunitions- I myself like to use psycanon ammunition, psykically charged silver tipped rounds inscribed with holy runes, myself. It'll cut through any psykic shielding like butter, and will spread a deamonette like jelly, just simply smearing it across a wall- so you can see why my line of work calls for it.
Inferno rounds are designed to immolate their targets and destroy them with superheated chemical fire, and, as such, are always preferred when it comes to burning the heretical.
There are others of course, storm frag, kraken penetrators, hellfire, stalker- each designed with a specific target in mind- but I doubt we'll be able to find any of those around here, and that they'd be of limited use anyway.
Sister Anna, what's your perference when it comes to bolter ammunition?"

>>12741767
"What do we say when someone does something nice for you Filigree?"

>>12741767
"Filigree, has it crossed your mind that some of these tentacles could use pruning?"

OP you waiting on us?

no i just cant get a minute of peace to try to reply. hold on.

it's okay, take your time
I imagine I'm the only one in the thread at the moment anyway

heh yeah. that and i didn't sleep last night...

at all...

>>12744102
me neither

>>12744102
Can we work out a schedule or something?
That way we don't end up waisting huge chunks of time waiting for each other?

bump

>>12744229

too chaotic right now. Long weekend this week so i'll be around a lot then...

And I wont be so sleepy

>>12748072
>>12748158
"That's better FIligree. See, we'll have you acting like a proper hive dame in no time.
I'm sure we should be able to find some tempest bolts- if the sisters don't have any, the guardsmen of this planet are very well equipped."
I don't think we should bother Verity. Let's see whoever is in charge of the guard contingent that came in, ask him or her what the action on the ground is like, if they've encountered any Chaos Space Marine, etc. etc.
Also, see bonesingers about setting up defences and repairs
Also- Tybalt should help cheer Anna up, she sounds like she could use a friend at the moment.

>>12748072
>>12748158
"Considering that we're about to go into battle, I think we'll have those shredded tentacles cut. We'll see if Verity or her team will be able to do it when they have a spare moment- and if not, there's always a lot of cutting implements around when the Imperial guard shows up."

>>12748158
Do you think Verity could use our help?

>Green texted post numbers, tons of them.

Could anybody tell me what has happened here.

>>12749175
>>12748158
Um, let's see
Filigree choose tempest bolter ammo, and verity came in with her squad and some guardsmen
That's about it
Don't know why it was deleted

>>12749309
I see, thank you very much.

>>12749398
Happy to oblige

... what the fuck...

why were a ton of quest related posts deleted?

>>12749759
Not the slightest idea. Maybe report spam? No idea if auto-deletion is still in effect if enough reports are made.

>>12749794

This sucks. I liked some of those posts.

Anyway let me type up a recap to make up for those posts. I wish i had archived it before those were deleted. That way you guys can't whine that a key piece of info was deleted or whatever.

Fuck the list of eldar units you got was also deleted. This is complete and utter bullshit...

>>12749851
From linear subspaces to your rescue; everything you posted as "His Divine Power" can be found here OP:

name=His+Divine+Power&search_tripcode=&search_del=dontcare&search_int=dontcare&searc
h_ord=rel

The ones with the red waste bin next to their number were deleted from /tg/.

give me a bit to recap everything cruicial.

what sucks is we lost character development and quite a few subtle hints.

You decide to use the portal early. This means you can not taylor the units against the incoming enemy, but it means they have time to learn the layout and situation before they begin fighting. You let Farseer Rodwen activate the portal. The squads you get are Howling Banshees, Striking Scorpions, Fire Dragons, Rangers, Warpspiders, Harliquins, Bonesingers, and Dire Avengers. You order several sisters to show the bonesingers around so they may help fortify the building and then hopefully repair some armor

These happen:
>>12734216
>>12734213

You tell Filigree to stay in the stairwell, talking to the Farseer about her condition, claiming you will blam her once the battles are over. The Farseer, struggling to keep from killing you with her brain, instead warns you to keep Filigree away from her and her squads, also warning that the weapon has a very subtle influence and that this decision will probably kill you in the end.

She storms off after declining your offer for a cigar. You go back to Filigree and let her out, observing the lash only has three barbs left, the other tentacles broken to various degrees from the previous battle with the daemon prince. She doesn't appear to be in any pain and declines your offer for help.

Sister Verity arrives with her medical team and quite a few medical servitors. The servitors are carrying many injured sisters, roughly two squads. Verity's left arm is freshly and heavily bandaged and she immediately goes over to help the injured twin. The sisters who had been previously attending to her currently have nothing to do.

>>12749944

Love you anon. srsly.

I'll repost them for easy quickreference.

RECAP

>Rodwen's eyes narrowed, her shoulders tensing as you continued speaking. She was silent for several minutes after you had finished, a muscle at the corner of her mouth twitching several times.

>"I trust you mon-keigh..." Her voice had more venom in it than you have heard thus far. "But weapons of She Who Thirsts should never be trusted. The y work into your mind slowly, corrupting you." She glanced at the door Filigree was behind. "Let us hope the battle is short, so she can be eliminated soon."

>She turned and began to walk back toward the congrigation of Eldar. "Even so, keep her away from my people and I. The moment she snaps she will not attack us." Her sneer turned into a mocking grin. "We will try our best not to shoot you if you are her target.

RECAP

>The Farseer waved off the Cigar and went to join her people. You instructed the sisters who weren't tending to the injured twin to show the bonesingers where to reinforce. They reluctantly agreed, leading the eldar off.

>You check up on Filigree who has made little to no progress. "Can I come out now? " She had put one lightning claw back on and was struggling with the other, even with the help of the lash. "Do I have to wear both? Can I have a gun instead? Guns are fun!"

RECAP

>"Yeah I can control it. Its just hungry and its getting to me." She shrugged, rolling the shoulder where the lash was attached. "Any type of gun will do. Maybe a bolt pistol or something."

>>12750329
"Every Sister who has knowledge of this are of the city to me!" Wait until these sisters have arrived.
"As you know, every unit still capable of doing so has fallen back to this location or to the buildings surrounding us. As neither Canoness Florcenia, Galatea nor I have proper knowledge of this area, you'll be required to coordinate the defences with the Sister Superior and the officers of the guard. Sadly, quite a few of you will be required to work with our xenos reinforcements. Rember, this day all of you, human and the despicable xenos, are defending a world only second to Holy Terra itself in importance. If we should fall this day, make sure his Holyness on Terra will hear our last shouts of defiance as we take as many of the wretched servants of chaos with us as possible. But it will not come to this if your preparations are diligent and your faith is pure. One of you'll be reporting to me, the others will be assigned to the various squad leaders. Those who think themselves capable of bearing the close proximity to the xenos will report to me as well. Any questions, remaining?"

RECAP

>"Thaaaannnkkk youuuuuu!"

>Filigree thought for a good while after you described the different kinds of bolts to her.

>"Tempest Bolts. I can tear through space marines with this." She held up her lightning claw. "And I'm fast enough to deal with any number of unarmored targets but I have no way to quickly destroy mechanical units."

>You asked her about removing the badly damaged tentacles.

>She shook her head. "The ones that aren't shredded will regenerate. The shredded ones should be carefully cut away or just let shrivel and be pulled off then."

RECAP

The door behind you opens and you turn to see Verity and her very large medical team rush in. The hospitaller herself looked worse for wear, her left arm freshly bandaged, several spots already bleeding through.

The team itself was accompanied by tons of servitors, many functioning as stretchers or portable medical equipment, and many were already occupied. She must have brought in the equivalent of two squads of battle sisters and a half a squad of guardsmen.

Verity walked straight toward the injured twin, not even sparing Filigree a second glance as she stormed past, the boxy medical implant on her humming to life. After shooing everyone away from the twin with some very colorful high gothic, she and several of her team got to work.

>>12750546

fuck its not in green... ah well...

srsly tho i'm a bit too aggrivated to do a well thought out post without risking doing the "Pissed GM makes horrible stuff happen for no reason" thing. I gotta cool off a bit.

>>12750583
Right, we'll brainstorm something awesome for you
Isn't that right other anon?

>>12750593
Hell yeah. I'm still caught in an uphill battle with the Kronecker delta but I'm sure we'll be able to cook something up.

>>12750593
Things we'll have to think about:
Getting an overview of our remaining forces.
Distribution of these forces.
Construction of possible defences.
Air support.
Nasty Eldar shenanigans.
Divine intervention, preferably on our side and not on theirs.

>>12750624
>>12750624
In mathematics, the Kronecker delta or Kronecker's delta, named after Leopold Kronecker (1823-1891), is a function of two variables, usually integers, which is 1 if they are equal and 0 otherwise. So, for example,
δ1,2 = 0, but
δ3,3 = 1
It is written as the symbol δij, and treated as a notational shorthand rather than as a function.
.....
I have absolutely no idea what any of that means
(Jeeze and I thought comparing the differences between folio and quarto editions of Shakesperian plays was tedious and difficult)

>>12750650
Right:
Eldar Bonesingers- reinforcing building, creating defensive structures, helping repair armor
Guardsmen- get conclusive info on the ground war so far, perhaps find out about the Chaos Space Marines that we're up against
Filigree- goshdarnit, why must something so cute create such problems?
Farseer- drifting deep into Tsun tsun territory, possible reversals?

>>12750654
I think I've understood what they want me to do.Seems a bit easy but I'll see next week.

>>12750689
>Farseer
Maybe we should give her something of ours. A keepsake to pass along to one of our relatives if we should fall. Maybe stroke her ego by telling her that a mind as superior as the Eldars' has probably thought of a plan to escape and not waste their lifes if the mon-keigh should fail?

>Tybalt
Anything up with him? Could somebody repair him while we're waiting?

>Living Saint
Any news on her?

>>12750654
>>12750808 here
And thank you for mentioning differences between folio and quarto editions of Shakesperian plays. I know nothing of such thing as well. I guess I willll be rather busy this weekend.

>>12750808
>>12750850
(The most prominent differences between quarto and folio can be seen in King Lear- http://larryavisbrown.homestead.com/files/Lear/lear_home.htm
knock yourself out)
I agree- Tybalt needs some love and attention. Maybe he can help cheer sister Anna up, seeing as her waifu is currently occupied.
Probably want to keep him out of the coming battle- pair him with the medical team as a guard dog?
I think we'll find out about the living saint when we talk to the Guard and returning sisters. I hope so, at least.
I don't know about giving Rowdan a keepsake, she turned down our offer of a cigar.

>>12750911
-Rowden might be building up to a classical "You s-stupid inquisitor it... it is not as if I like you or anything" episode but otherwise we need to show her that she's trusted and valued.
-Having Tybalt guard the sisters from attack or alert them on any traitors between their patients should be good. You can never be too careful around the wounded with nurgle pulling some strings.
-The guardsmen, if from a reasonable planet (Krieg? Generic trench warfare world Europeanus Guerrus Mundis Prime?) should be superior to the Sisters in construction makeshift fortifications.
-If the confessor we met when landing planetside is still alive, have him hold services for our soldiers as we prepare for the next attack.

>>12750992
Frack, don't know where the hell the confessor is at this point
Or Lord Inquistor Bardatus
Sheesh, and I hope these guys are from our personal guard complement rather then Krieg- those guys are fracking fanatics (plus, once they dig in, it's impossible to get them out)

>>12751107
First thing we'll need is a detailed report on who has survived and what kinds of enemies have been attacking our forces.

Oh hey, this thing is still running?
I wouldnt have even known if I hadnt stubled upon it while browsing suptg.

>>12752217
Hell yeah this thing is still running
With cute deamonettes and reasonable inquisitors and tsundere Farseers and huffy Sisters of Battle
Where'd you leave off?

>>12752282
When HDP chose to go with the one anon's Vortex grenade even though there had been plenty of other stuff typed out for better ideas.
Then it was immediately taken back.

Now catching up through archive.

>>12752217

theres gonna be a part 3 as well

>>12752339
>>12752330
Part 3?
hoo, boy, I'm not getting another good nights sleet for the next three months, am I?

>>12752380

yeah. Thats where you grab control of Esme again.

>>12752397
I wonder what's that's going to be like

>>12752330

I pick the thing that has the most votes. The Vortex Grenade might have actually worked and would have been amazing if the rolls hadn't been shit

>>12750521

The sisters stand at attention, listening the entire time. Your talk of the emperor and faith seems to rekindle them. When you finish speaking, they respond with a loud "Ave Imperator" and march off, radioing other sisters, tending to the wounded, or going to debrief the eldar.

Tybalt limps over to you, tail wagging weakly. His thick armor had saved him from being destroyed, but now the ceramite and flexsteel were twisted, hindering his joint movement. You'd have to completely replace his chasis.

You direct him toward Sister Anna who pretends not to be interested for a few seconds before the cyber mastiff's constant whining melted her will. She sank to her knees, petting the metallic dog, a small smile on her face.

You felt something bump against your side. It was Filigree. She was leaning sideways against you, jealous of how easily Tybalt got attention.

>>12752659
I let Filigree continue to rub against, hoping that she'll start to nuzzle, while running a hand through her hair.
"You know, just because you're not the center of attention doesn't mean people care about you less."

>>12752659
"If you keep sulking like that, eventually people will grow immune to your charms....
But it still works on me right now. Oh, come on, don't pout like that. Here, why don't we go and check in with the arriving guardsmen. I'm pretty sure they don't hate me yet,"

>>12752659
I wonder if we can get Tybalt repaired by the bonesingers
Or our armor, for that matter

>>12752787
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to take her around the guardsmen. Especially not with that tentacle lash attached to her. We hardly need MORE witnesses to out heresy.

Also guardsmen can be impressionable and I don't want Filigree corrupting them.

>>12752922
I suppose you're right
Though I'd like to see if we could pass the lash off as a sacred weapon- just not mentioning who it was sacred to

>>12752659
"Oh, Filigree- if you're going to act like this every time Tybalt gets attention, I'm going to have start bringing the dog everywhere I go,"

>>12753162
>>12752721

She makes a small humming sound, enjoying the attention too much to pay any attention to what your saying.

You were brought back to reality by one of the sisters.

"EVERYONE GET DOWN!"

Almost immediately the window nearest you shattered, sending glass and a huge object bouncing across the room. It was Evangela!

A loud thunk followed as a Lord of Change landed on the window sill and moved inside. He was immediately followed by a Chaos Raptor in black armor and milky white eyes and a mouth full of jagged sharp teeth.

He had two weapons. An oversized plasma pistol and a... a Sollex-Aegis Energy Blade?!

You couldn't stop a cold chill from running down your spine. If he hit anything with that sword it would be sliced apart, regardless...

>>12753329
SONOVABITCH!
FIVE MINUTES
THAT'S ALL I ASK!
FIVE FRACKING MINUTES WITHOUT SOME CHAOS SONBITCHES COCKING THINGS UP

>>12753377

You look at your watch. 4 minutes 59 seconds! Fuck! So close! :P

>>12753419
>>12753329
Right, our bolt gun, the chaos raptors head, chop chop
Make it happen!
"Well don't stand there with your mouths open- help the saint kill that thing!"
"Filigree, you wanted some practice using that whip? Entangle the guy holding the really really dangerous looking blade!"

>>12753329
>>12753329
Gah, lord of change
Kill it kill it kill it!
Dual wielding comes into play now- inferno pistol and bolter out, start taking potshots

>>12753329
"Evangela!"
Goddammit, I hope she's alright
WHo's more dangerous- lord of change or guy with solex blade?
Who's closest?
I say we start emptying our bolter into into the the lord of change, and try to overload that Chaos Jumpers oversized plasma gun with psykic magic.

>>12753329
"How dare you intrude here!
This is sanctified ground! And I don't remember anyone every inviting in you in either!"

>>12753329
"Filigree, time to put all those ridiculous weapons to good use!"

KILL IT WITH FIRE! Wait, how susceptible to fire would they be? Because if it's more likely to set the rest of us on fire then that might not be such a good idea.

>>12753828
Yes that.

sorry internet cut out for awhile. back now.

rolled 4 = 4

>>12754814
The changer of ways?
I dunno
The Chaos jump guy-yeah, he should burn real good.
I'd recommend inferno pistol on armor

Kill the one with the blade. Then recover the Blade and use it on the other one.

>>12753798
>>12753828
>>12753690
>>12753558

You fire your bolter at the Raptor, stepping back as the other sisters fired at the both of them. They both stumbled back, not expecting such a huge force in one room.

Filigree grins, leaping upon the Raptor, several bolter rounds hitting her armor but not piercing

The lash wrapped around the chaos marine, digging into his armor. He screeched in pain, swinging his sword at her. She avoided it, grabbing his arm with the hand that had the lightning claw on it.

The Lord of change jumped up, flying up to the vaulted ceiling and hiding in the shadows, dark laughter filling the room.

>>12755047
Frack, he's going to start casting something, isn't he?

>>12755047
"Good!" I move into melee distance of the chaos raptor, inferno pistol and force blade out- disable his jump pack, if possible.
"I'll handle the raptor- you bring bird brain up there down to more manageable altitudes with your whip!"

>>12755047
>She avoided it, grabbing his arm with the hand that had the lightning claw on it.

Cut off that arm. If we can get close enough, with our psy-blade, if not shoot if off. But let's be careful not to hit Filigree.

>>12755047
>>12755047
"I'll handle the raptor. Take the deamon down! Don't let him excercise his warp magyk,"

>>12756404
ay this
Then SWORD GET

There's this little voice inside of me that is convinced that we won't get a happy ending out of this.

Mainly due to us being soul bound to filigree, when we die, we are her plaything for eternity. For all we know, the reason she is acting cute is to disuade us from trying to find a means to save our soul, I mean, how many lesser daemons do you think get a guaranteed soul?
Most daemons that are bound are powerful, as that is what most daemon summoners are interested in thus, most souls that are damned are either bound to a powerfull daemon, or generally damned in which case all daemons can get at it. What we have here is a minor daemon that, through a stroke of luck, has had an inquisitor bind themselves to her. When we die she is no longer restricted from harming us, and she can do anything she wants without us being able to stop her, she will be very much in control.
And don't forget she is daemon, a creature known to be manipulative. Would like to be wrong on this, a good end would be nice after all :Þ
Now that I have vented my paranoia, lets get back to showing a lord of change who's boss and if it comes to it, I have potential solutions to the 'damned for all eternity' problem.

>>12759235
(I don't know- a lot of this domination/control thing comes down to whoever has the most willpower, and, in the end, you have to admit Delthessa is pretty willful.
Also, avoiding eternal damnation? o rlly? I'm all ears)

>>12759384
Well for one thing there must be other radical inquisitors who know means and methods of undoing the soul-binding, hopefully at least.
Another idea would be to bind ourselves to something more powerful, though depending on what we pick, this could be worse.
The eldar use spirit stones to trap there souls so that slaanesh does not consume them, there may be a way for us to emulate this.
We could also see if we can find a means of destroying our soul upon death, better that than eternal torment.

My last idea depends on whether or not filigree can claim our soul whilst still in the materium. If she can't, then all we have to do is trap her permanatly in the materium. Easiest method? Encase her in plascrete and stick her on an asteroid in the middle of nowhere, complete sensory deprivation, and she can't die. Problem solved.

alright i'm awake (and very sick) but awake.

lets do this!

>>12761523
Hooray!
Fever dream hallucinations are a go

>>12761523
you waiting on us OP?

>>12761845

no but i think the barrage of phone calls and trips to the store have ended. finishing up reply now

>>12758368
>>12756404
>>12755145

Filigree growled, her grip on the raptor tightening, making him scream and laugh at the same time as the barbs dug into the gaps in his armor.

"Can't really... ngh... Let go right now..." The lashwip actually seemed to focus the Daemonette more, depleting the marine's strength and increasing her own.

You heard a loud crack and dozens of tiny warp portals opened up all over the room, daemons of Tzeentch raining down upon the sisters.

Immediately, targets switched, several flamers and metas going off, the heat blackening the stone building, but not damaging it too severely. You should keep this fight short though...

You strafe around the raptor, shooting and slashing at his pack. He screams in anger as one of the jets erupts in a ball of fire, burning both the marine and the daemon. Startled, Filigree's grip wavered and he pushed her off, punching her in the unarmored part of her chest hard enough for you to hear her ribs crack, the girl flying across the room, bouncing several times.

By now the daemons of Tzeentch had landed and were attacking the sisters, but the eldar stepped in, acting as a buffer, slaughtering the creatures in close combat as the sisters continued to shoot the newly emerging ones, the farseer and warlocks buffing their troops for speed and cunning.

>>12762510
Goddammit- I cut the raptors arm off!

>>12762510
>Injured our primary waifu
Swinging our psyblade, we force all our hatred for those chaos fucks into the blade. Not only for injuring Filigree but also for nearly destroying Tybalt. Aim for cleaving him in half.
While striking down:
"Smite the foe! Smash the enemy! For the Emperor we bring death! From this world we will drive you. And the one after that. We'll crush the eye of terror itself in palm of our hands. We will strike down the halls of your gods in the warp and we will grind each of them between our fingers. The universe will know the will of the Emperor. Tremble! Quake! These are your final hours Chaos spawn. His power will turn the warp itself void! In the name of the Emperor, kill them all."
After killing the raptor, throw hus corpse back through one of the chaos ports. No reason to have him despoil blessed soil. Stow away the special blade he wielded for later use except if it is visibly corrupted.

>>12762684
No, disarm him, disable him, knock him out, and then interrogate him
Take him through all seven levels of the inquisitions of pain threshold

>>12762801
>disarm him
Abaddon style?

>>12762510
FUCKING FUCK!
Right, right- calm, think analyitically. Right now that Changer of tzneetch is the bigger threat here- I need to remove this idiot raptor as quickly possible and focus on the deamon.
I go after his limbs- target the weakspots of his armor around his joints. If he's still standing, then I move in close so that way he can't bring that goddamn sword into play and just start wailing on him, finishing him with a power knee to his unarmored face

>>12762874
My thoughts exactly

>>12762888
Preferably in a manner more painfull.

Paranoid views aside, filigree is still awesome.

>>12762956
Right!
Nobody messes around with our deamonette!
That's our job!

>>12763008
Speaking of which we really do need to mess with her head a bit more, it is too much fun :P

Shit, I hope filigree's not hurt too bad, we may need her CC abilites some more before this is over.

I'm a biomancer so I should be able to boil his blood, cooking him alive in his armour. Bastard deserves nothing less.

Assuming that works, I should check on filigree, her lash could be usefull against the lord of change after all.

>>12763047
I think we should give her a break until she's back to good health.

>>12763140
lash is kind of attached to her at this point
getting it off her could take a while

>>12763143
You're probably right. Though I don't see us getting an opportunity to do so for a while in that case :P

>>12763191
I wasn't suggesting getting it off of her, instead getting filigree back on her feet and combat ready, as we may need her and the lash against the lord of change.

>>12763213
Oh, then I agree
right now she's the only person who can bring that changer down
Or at least distract him long enough while evangela gets up

>>12763260
To be fair, we probably could as well, especially if we get that energy blade assuming it really does destroy that which it touches...

>>12763297
yeah, but the bastards flying around up in the sky
we can't touch up there with a sword

>>12763335
I'm hesitant to suggest beating down the raptor and then throwing the sword....but another part of me is telling me that it is too awesome not too work...

>>12763445
no, hook him with the whip and then real him in like a fish
He won't seem so esoteric and mysterious when he's flopping and squaking at the end of a tentacle rape

(fever dreams have stopped for the moment)

ok going after the raptor what is it exactly you want to do to the bastard?

>>12763507
Well I'm all for boiling him in his armour so as to stay away from that sword of his. Plus we havn't really used our biomancy offensively yet.

>>12763507
we cut off his arms, and then knock him unconscious
More evil things can be done to him later- during and after interrogation

>>12763632
We could give him to filigree :D

>>12763632
How about we use biomancy to try and atrophy his muscles, crippling him? Incapacitates and we potentially get to interogate him.

>>12763740
I don't know, using psykic powers can be dangerous in high warp volatile areas
If you think it'll work, though, go for it

>>12763756
Thats a point, I had neglected to factor in the warp instability...
Also, seeing as he is rather close by, just hewing into him, ala >>12762684 may be a better idea. Though if we can merely cripple him that would be a bonus. Regardless though, we should check on filigree once we have disposed of the raptor.

Thats my opinion at least.

>>12763794
Right- disable the raptor
Face crunching and dis-arming him
Try to keep him a live to interrogate
Then filigree
Then lord of change

>>12763934
Sounds good, lets do this.

>>12763961
Right!
Should I write it in the first person?

>>12763975
Yup! We need some righteous fury and concern for filigree I think, though as you're the one actually putting the effort in to writing it, it really is your choice :P

I plot Filigrees trajectory with my eyes, watching in a mix of dumb found shock and horror as she lands, crumpled, at the base of an ornate pillar.
The raptors unnatural grin widens at my momentary hesistance, taking it as a sign of weakness.
He is wrong- it's just an example of how truly this little snot is going to regret ever being born within the next five minutes.
The chaos worshiper charges- my only movement is to tighten my grip around my force blade, as I imagine just what I'm going to do for hurting Filigree. I'm going to kill him-no, worse. I'm going to rip out his intestines, tie them to a maypole, and make him dance around it! I'M GOING TO CUT OFF HIS HEAD, PRESERVE IT, AND THEN LET TYBALT USE IT TO FORNICATE! I'M-
steady, old girl, bigger fish to fry at the moment. I need this idiot out of commission, so that way I can concentrate on more important things.
I instantly assume a fighting stance and meet the idiots charge- oh rather, duck under it, gracefully moving inside his blades reach as I lash out with my own. Snicker snack-- once, twice, through the joint of the armor jointing around his elbow. Again, on his other arm.
I don't wait for shock to register- at this point I drop my blade, momentarily discarded so I can use both hands to grasp his shoulders, to better guide his pretty face into an introductory meetining with my powered armored knee.
Darn he's bleeding- I don't think first impressions went over that well. Well don't we try again!
And again!
AND AGAIN!

>>12764180

The chaos raptor reels back, screeching as your forceblade, blazing with the power of your rage and will, slices clean through his armor, flesh and bone, his sword arm flying from his body.

You miss his other arm and he tries to pistol whip you, bringing the gun up and firing point blank. You duck, the shot searing off one of your pauldrons and does some serious damage to your power pack, but gives you the opening you need to hack off the other arm, jumping through the air and bringing your blade then down on his jump pack completely destroying it.

He goes sprawling forward, groaning faintly as he tries to rise. You put your cigar out in his eye, giving his forehead one last kick, knocking him out.

In addition to the daemons, cultists on disks of Tzeentch were appearing, skimming the heads just above the sisters, swinging flails and axes, taking cheap shots. Several sisters skulls were crushed from the blows, the rest managing to evade.

Evangela was up and about now, flying through the air. Her chainblade screamed and blazed as she sliced through the disks and corrupt humans, her voice echoing through the room as she recited a litany.

The sisters were starting to back up toward Verity's location, their gunfire not enough to suppress the oncoming mob. The hospitaller in question had wheeled the injured twin back against the wall, away from the fight, the other standing in front of her, phase blade out and ready.

>>12764180

srsly you guys. does the RNG owe you or something?

>>12764943
MOTHERFUCKING CHAOS CULTISTS
I DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW!
I RELEASE A PSYKIC SHOCKWAVE IN THE HOPE OF SERIOUSLY FLIPPING THEIR SHIT OVER

>>12764952
Certain pacts were made, blood may or may not have been involved.

>>12764984
You-
I like you!
I keel you last!

>>12764943
I guess I should towards the dismembered arm of the raptor, the energy blade he wielded was powerfull and could prove usefull. Afterwards I should probably check on filigree, that blow looked like it hurt, and we need her in fighting shape.

It's a pity that bloody daemon prince destroyed my medi skull, how am I meant to find another at a time like this? I guess if it comes to it I could use biomancy to heal filigree, warp instability be damned, I would very much rather she didn't die, of course, she doesn't need to know that.

Anyone who gets in my way is going to feel the sting of both the force blade and the energy blade as I am not in the mood for fucking about right now.

>>12765119
Right- anything to be done about those fliers of Tzneetch and those cultists?

>>12765140
At the moment we are down one of our best cc specialists, I say we get her back up and running as soon as possible. If the sisters can't deal with the cultists in the mean time then they are a disgrace to the orders they took.
Or course, we could instead take this as an opportunity to show that we are not completly dependent on our cute little seductress by bringing the pain to the greater daemon. Somehow.

>>12765251

its not that they cant be delt with. Its that they are likely to run out of ammo before they're all dead.

>>12765356
Annoying sonsbitches
Gah, too bad our only Seraphin are down and out for the count with alternately broken equipment and a concussion

>>12765356
Aaah, I see the problem then. Would there be time to do as outlined in >>12765119 before the sisters are overrun?

>>12765371
>>12765375
I don't think we can let the sisters be overrun
We need to stop those fuckers, now

>>12765391
Ok then, we have a gun, we know how to use it, how about we retrieve the energy blade before someone else thinks its a brilliant idea to grab it and attack us with it, all the whil laying down as much suppressing fire on the cultists as we can?

>>12765119

actually he didn't destroy the medi skull. The medi skull is just the only one you have left.

>>12765119
actually we have the mediskull- it was the mechanic skull that was destroyed
Send it to Filigree now would be a good idea

>>12765409
>>12765435
Well that makes things a bit better.
I agree whole heartedly with sending it to filigree, we could possibly send it over to the sisters afterwards, they probably need it more than we do.

Alright, I think I know what to do
Once the changer of ways is out of the picture, Evangela will go through those cultists like tissue paper.
Now, what I do is take the sword that can cut anything from the still twitching grasp of the chaos raptors severed arm, with a small "Mine now," and heft it experimentally.
I scan where the changer of ways is flitting about and heft the blade in the changers direction with all my might. Out of most probability it'll miss or the bag of feathers will dodge- which is okay because I wasn't aiming him for him.

>>12764943
With a thought I command the medi skull to heal filigee, hopefully it can patch her up quickly.
I aim towards the cultists with our bolter and fire, shouting the litanies of hate with each shot.
Striding towards the energy blade, I keep up the bolter fire untill I reach the blade, stooping briefly to take it in one hand before turning my gaze to the changer of ways.

>>12765661
Now, what happens next depends on what the layout of the ceiling looks like.
Hopefully, when I throw the sword, the changer of ways will end up underneath one of the numerous heavy statues, gargoyles, and embossed carvings that this place is bound to have - I use good old ferric lure on the metal seating of said architectural ornament or, if luck should have it, have the sword end up buried underneath said ornament and causing the old and weak stonework that supports it to crumble.
Changer of ways has exactly five seconds to gloat about the stupidity of our last ditch effort before being crushed under heavy masonry.

>>12765661
>>12765722
I like it, start with >>12765700 and then move into the energy sword throw.

>>12765751
Sorry about that, deleted it because of spelling mistake
Post was same as
>>12765733

Frack, this is no good- I thought having the final battle inside a building would mean no flyers

>>12765733
>>12765661
>>12765700

You contact the medi skull with your mind, commanding it to help Filigree. Immedeately it halts its work on the injured twin, zipping across the battlefield to Filigree's side. The uninjured twin shoots you a hateful look.

You rush at the sword, keeping up your bolter fire. It works quite well, the psybolts shredding through oncoming enemies like paper. You manage to get to the sword easily and take it from the severed limb. You look up, having to dodge back to avoid a cultist's lasgun fire. The air is so filled with disks and cultists that you could never see the greater daemon, even if he wasn't hiding.

You are forced down behind a huge stone urn filled with blessed and scented oils, the enemy's focus still mainly on the sisters.

You hear a loud shout fill the room followed by a crash. You risk a peek. Galatea was standing in the doorway, the chainaxe resting against one shoulder.

"It's rude to start a party before all the guests arrive..."

Florencia walked up next to her. "Indeed it is..."

"Shall we teach them a lesson in manners?"

"I think we should."

"Exellent!" And with that word Galatea charged forward, her fist and chainaxe carving through the daemons before her like a hot knife through butter.

Florencia had taken off via her jump pack and was swinging the enormous hammer with all her strength, the huge blunt object crushing everything it came into contact with into a bloody pulp.

In from the door poured more sisters, the celestian retinues of both canonesses.

>>12766152
Hmm, once the medi skull has finished with filigree, we should definatly send it back to help the injured twin. In the meantime keep up our bolterfire on the cultists, possibly engage any on foot in cc.

And if we have filigree engage in combat, there is no real way that we can keep her nature disguised from Florencia, or at least the fact that she is 'tainted' by slaanesh. I'm sensing a confrontation incoming. Time to prep a badass backup speech.

>>12766152
Well,
that was unimpressively anticlimatic

>>12766152
Welp, is there anything to do other then to take potshots?
Aim for the fly discs and try to be as distracting as goddamn possible- with any luck the discs will turn on their masters and dump them off of their rides

>>12766273
Perhaps my pacts with the dicegods are running low. More sacrifices may be required. Give me 10 minutes, a bucket of dice and a microwave.

>>12766321
Right, I'll go get the hamsters and the small plastic monolith

>>12766321
>>12766152
Hiding eh?
Well, a Tzneetchian is always the last place you'd look for him- which, because of the way things work out is generally the FIRST place you'd look for him but discounted
Should we use a psykic power?

>>12766387
We could try and boil some blood in as many cultists as we can, screw the results.

Raise our arms and boil the blood of an army, eldritch power wrapping around us as we unleash hell upon those who oppose us.

This may be beyond our means, but we never know untill we try and given the instability of the warp, we may be able to push further than usual.

>>12766415
That's a little ambitious- so far we've been doing pretty good with minor things
Unseating the casings of inlaid jewels in a cieling mural to distract a shrieker of Slaanesh, messing with the servos in the power armor of a Deamon Prince
I was kind of hoping there would be some minor psykic power combined with the situation to exploit to our favor

>>12766456
Wait, I've got it!
You know the peril of the warp that turns off the gravity?
Intentionally invoke it- warn everyone before hand to hold on to something, and keep the duration for only a few seconds
With any luck- the cultists will be left hanging in thin air long enough for their discs to slide out from under them, so that way hey'll be left dangling about thirty to forty feet in the air for a few seconds before we bring reality back into focus and they all plummet to the ground

>>12766484
I like it. What could possibly go wrong :D
I suppose we have given up on keeping our psychic abilities hidden from the sisters.

>>12766518
Oh yeah they already know about it- but, seeing as how we're an inquisitor they don't care
Besides- why focus on something like being a psyker when they can hate us for consorting with deamons

>>12766518
Not much- as long as we keep it short, the sisters and eldar on the ground shouldn't rise more then a foot or two, while the celestians have jump packs so they can compensate

>>12766556
I don't recall us ever using our powers around the sisters, I was rather sure that they still didn't know, suspected maybe.

Also, intentionally failing perils of the warp is risky in the extreme, this could go badly. It could also go awesome, that is the saving grace here :D

>>12766566
Well there's always the dangers of falling cultists - maybe compensate for that with a psykic push to get them into an area of the room that doesn't have our allies underneath it first

Ok, so votes for fucking with gravity for fun and profit.

I'm for it.

>>12766607
Considering it was my idea, I'm for it as well

>>12766623
I assumed there were 3 people in the thread, guess I was wrong...

Hmm, we could also contact the medi skull to get a report on how badly filigree is injured

>>12766607
>>12766631
>>12766623
Sure, why not? It's better then doing nothing (although doing nothing has a higher survival rate)

>>12766709
Ahh, but that would be no fun at all :D
To paraphrase filigree, strife is totally worth it.

If this goes wrong we are going to have a hell of a lot of explaining to do to the sisters.

>>12766566

Celestians aren't seraphim guys. The Celestians are elite warriors. The seraphim are the jetpack sisters

>>12766658
>>12766747
Psykic phenomena happen sometimes

>>12766796
Ah, you'll have to forgive me
I'm not familiar with Warhammer 40k outside of fluff

>>12766801
Depends whether they realise that we are intentionally failing our perils of the warp or not.
So do you want to write this one up?

>>12766484
That should work, especially as the disc themselves won't be effected by the gravity, just their riders
(since the disks are already breaking the laws of physics by existing, I'm assuming that they won't be affected)

>>12766835
Sure- how'd I do on the last one?
Anything I should fix or change?

>>12766824

The Witch Hunters codex is free on the GW website. Go download it for a better understanding of different sororita squads

>>12766858
You were the guy who wrote out throwing the sword right? It was good, better than my attempt :P

you going to include status check on filigree? Or just leave her out for now?

>>12766878
I'll leave her out- nothing we can really do for her now, and it's better we give our full attention to this endeavor

Finally! Despite the fact that they Galatea hated my guts, and that Florencia will hate my guts (it's inevitable, really) I'm happy to see both of the boisterous zealots have managed to make it through so far in one piece. Well, more or less in Galateas case.
Still, even with the additional forces they're bringing, the chaos flyers are moving too thick and too fast. We'd beat them, of course, but at this rate it would cost us time and resources we couldn't simply afford to spend. Gah, damn their eyes, those annoying twerps- poncing about in the air. They look like they're actually enjoying themselves, breaking the laws of the universe with nothing separating them from the ground except those metallic flesh disks.
Why I remember the first time you experienced weightlessness, was one of the -
I stop, mid reminisce, as an idea strikes my head. Well, while turning off the gravity isn't particulary hard, it's dangerous in that it's very hard to actively control the effects and specifics, such as turning it back on again without blowing your brains out or faceplanting it.
Still- it'd be more then worth a shot. Besides, I've handled worse before in terms of mental strain.
I assume the pstandard psyker pstance and shout, my voice ampliphied through the din of battle by my own presence and several speakers linked to my servodrone and Tybalt "Hold on to something attached to the ground or sturdy, quickly!"
With that out of the way,
I attempt the impossible
....
again.
Jezum crow I'm not being paid enough for this

>>12767046
A single complaint, why amplify a shout when I assume we have a voxbead and can communicate directly without giving away our plan. If we don't have a vox bead, disregard me completly :P

>>12767082
Actually, I can't for the life of me remember if we brought a vox bead or not
If we did, assume that we used that instead

>>12767046
>>12767094
Well even if this doesn't work, the results should be.....interesting.

Good post btw.

>>12767113
thank you! I try my best, but I'm always open to criticism or new ideas

>>12767046

You send the report through the vox bead, the sisters receiving the report through their helmets and their armor speakers. most of them move back holding onto something in the room, or a doorway. The two Canonesses and Living Saint ignore you, however.

You attempt to reverse gravity, one hand clutching at a window sill as everything slowly begins to rise into the air. It's a lot of work, but you successfully disrupt everything in the room.

The Lord of Change screeches in alarm, his taloned hands clutching at the ornate architecture of the ceiling. There is no way you could take a shot at him while focusing.

However, you don't have to. Evangela noticed the daemon and flew toward him at amazing speed. He flapped his wings, trying to escape but the living saint already had momentum. She crashed into him mid air, slamming him against the ceiling, her chainsword cutting off one of his wings. The two floated through the air, fighting viciously, the daemon casting the occasional spell.

>>12767265
GOOD NOW TURN IT OFF!

>>12767265
It worked! Now we just have to release it without killing ourselves....

>>12767265
"HHOLD ON TO SOMETTTTHING, ALLLRRRRIIIGHT? GRAVITTTY GOES BACK TO NORMALLLLL-NOW!"

>>12767303
Assuming of course the cultists are off of their damn floating discs. If not, keep it up a bit longer.

Seeing as we just willing took perils of the warp, I would not be surprised if this hurt when we released it, hopefully not too much.

>>12767334
Maybe, because we invoked it willingly, we'll have more control over it?

>>12767347
I'm not sure, we basically just threw open the flood gates and guided it towards the sort of effect we wanted, I don't think there was much control involved, a lot of willpower and wrestling with it perhaps, but not much control. At least, that's my take on it. I may be wrong.

>>12767359
I don't know- what defines a peril of the warp?
Most of them are unintended side affects that are, in some way or another, negative
Layer of frost appearing on stuff, rain of blood, things like that
I don't think that the phemona itself requires that much willpower, as the psyker can usually create it by accident
Turning off the gravity could actually be quite useful in the right situation (Such as this one) and, since we consciously called it, maybe it won't be that bad?

>>12767414
Thing is, I think this sort of effect is more powerfull than those that we would normally call upon, fall all we know by doing this we have automatically caused ourselves to have another perils of the warp effect. Or you may be right, this is basically telekinesis at a very high level in a way...
I really don't know, it depends what 'His Divine Power' rules.

>>12767439
YOur right of course, ultimately it's the GMs call
Hmm, this has actually given me some ideas about how to use psykic powers the next Time I use DH

So, how badly are we going to screw this up you guys think?

>>12767534
Depending on how awesome it is, I wouldn't mind too much if we are blasted back by feedback or something, dramatic imagery and all that.

>>12767556
In Delethessa's line of work, you get used to SAN loss
"Oh what's this, a pile of mutiliated cropses? We'll, we'd better go change- like hell am I getting blood on this suit."

>>12767589
Not talking about SAN loss, I mean quite literally vorteices of energy blasting us across the room or somewhat, I'm a sucker for dramatic secnes and heroic sacrifies, so sue me.

>>12767615
Well, I'm a sap for happy endings were everyone resolves their differences to become better persons, so I'm not one to criticize

I'll respond in a bit. fever has gotten a bit worse. i'll respond in a while. fever dreams are back.

>>12767878
well he does sound proper fracked up
S'okay, i need to get to bed too

Night OP

Hey, Alpharius
You the guy making a modded army of Tauquest inspired 'crons?

second time tauquest has come up in this quest. dunno why. It seems you're rolling opposite.

but yeah. fever is bad. going to sleep. Also thread is archived. be sure to vote an all the sororitas quests

we're also autosaging. making new thread now. be sure to copypasta what you want to do next into it.
