>>12768411
Well I suppose our we need to restore gravity and try not to blow ourselves up :D

>>12768456

isn't that everyone's dream?

Anyway i'm gonna sleep and hope that in the morning my walls are no longer melting into the laughing faces of horrible eldritch abominations and tim curry.

night Alpharius and other anons

also, it HAS occured to you guys that this quest is still labled Oncoming storm, right? heh...

>>12768501
I was hoping that this was the oncoming storm, if there is indeed a bigger one coming....

D:

bump to prevent death via sage

>>12768520

Well soooorta. it just means theres something much worse coming.

>>12772350
D:
Worse than the Ophelia VIII and the surrounding systems being engulfed by warp portals?

Anyways, we need, among other things, to restore gravity. Assuming of course that the disk mounted cultists appear to have drifted away from their disks.
Afterwards, get a report from the medi skull as to the condition of filigree, we should probably get the medi skull back to injured twin as soon as we can, no need to needlessly atagonise the other twin after all.

I'm here, what did I miss

>>12772580
Depends, when did you leave off?

As we are currently intentionally causing perils of the warp.

still extremely sick guys. My walls aren't melting anymore though but I have some nausia and one hell of a sinus headache. I'll reply when I can

Right- I think now's the time to turn the gravity

>>12772611
Right after OP left last night

>>12772782
Thats shouldn't take too long, we should be able to do more. I think we should get a report from the medi skull on filigree's condition, we only know that she was smashed across a room with some broken ribs.

There are many quest threads on /tg/. This is one of the worst.

>>12772901
Your opinion, if you don't like it, just hide it.
What bemuses me is that you feel the need to post your disaproval of the quest, rather than, say, ignoring it.

>>12772951
>>12772901

and yet you both sage it

anywho someone write a first person reply and we can get this ball rolling. my symptoms are not that bad right now

Right, I'll write a reply

>>12772972
It was meant as a polite sage, I was adding nothing to the thread.

>>12772995
Wrestling with the eldritch powers coursing through me, I manage to dsicern the figures of the cultists floating away from their disks. Grinning slightly to myself, I release the pent up energies, hopefully without killing myself in the process.

>Assuming we survive this and there are no complications

I send a quick thought to the medi skull, requesting information as to filigree's condition, before opening fire on any cultists who survived the fall.

I try to keep my grip around a pillar firm- even though I've embraced the thing quite tightly, I can still feel my feet slipping out from underneath me and being drawn upwards. Right, time to end this foolishness- gritting my teeth with effort, I bark once into my comm beads "RIIGHT, GRAAVITY COMMMMES BACK, NOW!" and brace myself for the release, mentally and physically.

>>12773083

The energies lash back at you as you release them, sending you reeling back into the wall, not to far from Filigree. Momentarily stunned, you felt something hot running down your neck, however you didn't feel any pain.

You were vaguely aware of the cultists raining down from the sky, many of them breaking every bone in their body upon impact with the hard floor.

The daemonette is already on her feet, a huge grin on her face as she clutched at her ribs. The skull had repaired her cuts and bruises though.

It flew over to you, buzzing around your head, switching tools to a cauterizer, bone clamps, and a calcium and protein injector. It occurred to you that you must have cracked your skull on the stone wall.

Your daemonette moved to your side, gingerly picking you up and carrying you over to Verity. You felt a horrible cutting pain through your head as you were picked up, blacking out several times.

The next thing you were aware of was Verity and the servo skull working on your head, as well as a horrible pain shooting through your body.

>>12773381
Ahhhhh, shit

>>12773381
Am I capable of talking?
I try to find out by asking Verity
"Did we win?"

>>12773381
Attempt to move- start with fingers first, work our way up through the major limbs
Hopefully we haven't suffered to bad brain damage

>>12773470

You attempt to speak but Verity puts one finger to your lips.

"Just shut up for a minute. That was an exceedingly stupid move... But you did probably win it for us."

It occurs to you that more time than you initially thought has passed, the room almost completely cleared of bodies, the Lord of Change nowhere in sight.

"Florencia is one push away from killing you ever since she saw what you did to Filigree."

The daemonette in question spoke up. "The Raptor also bled to death while you were unconcious. We tried to get him to talk but even the lash didn't work. Also, Elizabeth, Sonja, and Tessa are here, as well as Inquisitor Lord Alexander Littner, though the word is Confessor Jeremiah was killed in crossfire.

>>12773684
"How long untill I'm up and about?"
Attempt to get a cigar from our pocket

>>12773684
"That's nice. Do you have any painkillers?"

>>12773684
"Confessor Jeremy? Damn shame- did they at least save his hat?"

>>12773684
"What's the damage?"

>>12773721

"Inquisitor what are you... Oh... Filigree took your cigars. She said she did want you smoking when you were in this condition. Either that or she wanted them for herself."

Filigree held up her hands defensively. "Hey I haven't had one... yet..."

You attempt to sit up, Verity trying to hold you down for a moment, realizing it was pointless, and gingerly helps you into a sitting position. You felt her slip something in your mouth, a cool, bitter fluid filling it. "Now swallow. It's to keep your brain from swelling. You *shouldn't* be on your feet for the next few days, though I imagine keeping you down for the next few hours will be a miracle."

You hear heavy footsteps approaching. You force your eyes to focus and see the Inqusitor Lord standing over you. He crouches down, all smiles. "Recruiting Eldar to our cause. Giving your acolyte a daemonic weapon. Invoking perils of the warp by your own free will. It's been a long time since I have heard of such heresy!" He gives a short laugh. "All for the sake of defending this planet! You may be blamed for this inquisitor, but I must say, you have more balls than I do."

He clapped you painfully on the shoulder. "We get out of this alive, I'll make sure you're remembered as a hero." He took a long drink from a very strong smelling flask. "Ahhh... Now if only that damned exalted Martyr of Yours would get here we could really show chaos some hell. As it stands we've lost almost all of our troops as well as most of our vehicles. Our Titan is still standing though. It's damaged, but we don't have to let the enemy know that."

>>12773977
"Thank you verity, I doubt I would still be here without your aid"
"What can I say Lord Inquisitor, I enjoy living life on the edge. But regardless, everything I have done I have done for the imperium. Any chance you could get Florencia off my case however, I'm hardly in a position to defend myself right now"
"And filigree, just give me a damn cigar"

>>12773977
>>12773977
"Trust me, you don't want to know the half of it.
So, I suppose you have another of your clever plans to get us out of this?"

>>12773977
"What about our living saint? She still up for combat?"

>>12773977
"How bad's my damage Verity? Any broken bones? Fractures?"

Note to self:WEAR A HELMET WHEN IN COMBAT

>>12774225
Or some sort of force field.

>>12774083
>>12774095
>>12774108

He smiled as Filigree lit a cigar, starting it for you before gently placing it in your hand.. "Unfortunately, I don't have any idea how I'm supposed to get you out of the hole you've dug. I honestly think you're pretty screwed. As for Florencia... Damn... I really don't want to get on her bad side. That woman scares the hell out of me."

"Yeah. Evangela is fine. She's too much of a stubborn bitch to die." You took a long drag on your cigar. "I should know. Long time ago, she was captured by cultists for a spell and rescued. She was spouting gibberish boarder-lining heresy for about a week when the outpost was attacked. I shot her between the eyes and went to deal with the cultists. The cultists kicked our asses. Long story short, she sprouted wings and saved us all."

As if on cue, Evangela walked up next to him. "Are you talking about me behind my back again Alex? That is impolite, you know." He gave a short laugh and playfully punched her battle-tarnished armor. "Yeah. I'm a regular old bastard."

Evangela's smile was the most sincere you've seen in a long time. She turned to you, her spirits still high. "I never thought I would meet someone as insane as Alex." She gently pressed one armored hand against your chest. "As for you. You should get some rest."

>>12774436
I take a long drag on the cigar, savouring the flavour.
"Has the lord inquisitor ever gotten himself into a position where he is likely to be executed for heresy? If not I think I may have beaten him"
"But regardless, there isn't time to sleep, I should be up and helping. Theres a war going on and here I am lieing down on the job. Though I don't know what use I would be right now"
"How is the injured twin faring by the way?"

>>12774436
"Rest? At a time like this? Impossible- there's still so much left to do. And now there's even less time to do it in."

>>12774436
>>12774436
"Thank you for that. For once in my life, it's nice to hear someone say 'you don't need to do this, go on, take a break,'
...
And I'm still going to get up and fight in this, because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I didn't"

"Oh come on, he could tell you that a little thing like a concussion won't stay me when there's heretics to burn. Now, what needs doing around here?
And speaking of heretics- did you manage to capture any of those cultists? I could really use a good interrogation right now,"

I swear I'm turning my phone off. Sorry guys.

>>12775247
Don't worry, we can wait.

>>12775247
S'okay
I really should be working on my homework anyways

>>12775247
It's alright, know you have a life outside of this

Hey, Alpharius, mind if I ask you a question?

>>12774785
>>12774701
>>12774608
>>12774510

Verity tried to hold you down as you struggled to your feet, one hand on the wall. "Oh no you don't! You're staying here at least until your painkillers kick in!"

You ignore her and limp toward Filigree, her lash nowhere in sight, the purple hue of her skin completely gone, though there was a black, slightly protruding and bumpy ring around her arm where the lashwhip extends from. Its nothing that a simple robe or loose long sleeved shirt wont cover.

She draped that arm around your shoulders, laughing. "You're lucky your okay Quizzy! You made this huge splat on the wall when you hit it! It did leave a pattern through. Looked a little like an ork's face when I first peeled you off. It was really cool." She poked you in the cheek. "Also, all your wearing is a tank top and panties. I had no idea you had an aquila on your ass."

Verity facepalmed and Evangela cleared her throat, making a visible effort to not stare at your underthings. The Inquisitor Lord, however, made no such effort, smiling hugely.

"Savages..." Verity mumbled through her teeth. "Your armor is unsalvageable. At least the power pack and the connecters are. They need to be replaced. You can either have the bonesingers fashion you some armor or you can get a new set of power armor from the armory. The wraithbone armor would probably make you more mobile but it isn't as good as power armor. On top of that I don't think we'd have any designed to fit you personally like your old set was."

>>12775421
"Wraithbone armor, I think, would be best- I wasn't planning on getting beaten on anymore today,"

>>12775421
"And the rest of my gear?"
I hope we'll be able to dual wield that sollex blade and our force blade

>>12775421
"Considering the hoops I had to jump through the Mechanicus to get that armor, I would be very surprised if you could replace it exactly. Still, better some powerarmor then no powerarmor."

I like the idea of getting wraithbone armor

"Filigree, I'll have you know this tattoo was part of the introductory rights into my own inquisitors cell.
...
Plus I was drunk and seventeen, so drop it."

votes are equal for wraithbone armor and power armor.

Wraithbone is less protective than power armor but its way more mobile

The power armor has better defense but will hinder your movement

of course the tie is broken when i post that. :P

>>12776236
>>12776250
I say power armour, kjeep the filthy xenos tech away from ourselves, florencia already has ammunition against us, lets not give her more.

>>12776263
But wraithbone is better for our chosen fighting style- consideringhow we like to get up in other's people business and go melee

>>12776305
I would really rather not piss off the sisters more than we have too, wraithbone may give us better maneuverability, which is awesome, but power armour is imperial tech.

>>12776325
At this point, though, Florencia is gonna be pissed off no matter what we do

Can we get like, wraithbone and power armor?
Take the power components of one the power armour and smush it with the wraithbone?

>>12776351
But we may be able to talk our way out of this situation. At least, I am hoping we can.

Right, well, we need to wear something- can't go running about in our boxers and skivvies
Does Verity have a robe we can borrow until we get suited up?

>>12776548
I don't think Wraithbone armor should be that much of a problem- it's just be being pragmatic
same reason we used the Eldar help
Maybe we can ask the Bonesingers to make it less, xeno-ish
Put a big aquila on it, or make it black and red
at the very least it should have pauldrons and skulls

>>12776775
That could work I guess, I really think we should avoid needlessly atagonising florencia, she is apparently close to blamming us, so I think we should tread carefully around her. If people want wraithbone, go for it, its not like it would be any more heretical than the other things we have been doing.

>>12776832
>>12776832
Maybe we should meet with Florencia first before we armor up

>>12776966
Possibly, I can't see it being a particularly civil meeting however.

>>12776775
>>12776126
>>12775611
>>12775598

Filigree's smile just widened as Verity waved over the bonesinges. "Oh come on now Quizzy. I never said I didn't like it. Hehehe... Also the red Inquisitorial I on your panties is absolutely adora-" You grab her by the ear.

"You don't want to finish that sentence, do you?" Filigree snickered, but didn't say anything else. Probably not wanting to annoy you *too* much.

You release the daemonette as the bonesingers approach you. They look you over, top to bottom, starting to shape new pieces of of wraithbone into a new set or armor for you. The substance itself grew and twisted, shaping itself perfectly to your form.

The Inquisitor Lord rolled his eyes. "You just keep digging your hole deeper, don't you Delessa? I can't help but respect you for your sacrifice though. When this all blows over, I will not directly bring any of this to light. If confronted, however I will not lie."

The bonesingers finish up quickly. Surprisingly, it looks a lot like your old set of power armor, though it is more sleek rather than angular and it didn't have a sash like your old set.

>>12777198
"Thank you, milord.
I know that you may approve of my actions, but it's good to know at the end of the day we're on the same page.
I do what I do because it is necessary for the continued the protection of this city. Chaos isn't pulling any punches, and I'll need every advantage I can take."

We should probably enquire after the injured twin at some point, especially seeing as the other twin did not appreciate us reclaiming the medi skull.

>>12777308
Okay
"So, what's next? Have the squad leaders reported in yet? Do we know what it is that we're facing out there?"

>>12777498
As far as i am aware, we have no idea what is going on. We should probably ascertain that, though I don't think we should neglect the injured twin.

>>12777556
I agree with you. We should probably check over with verity to see how all the injured are doing
in fact, lets ask her now
"Verity- how is Carol (Or is it Coral?) doing? Do you think you're adequately equipped to deal with the wounded here?"
Also, we should get everyone important together, and pool ignorance to come up with a plan

symptoms are back give me a bit to have some tea and stuff.

What was that thing we'd put on underneath our power armor when we first got it? A Skin suit?
That's not the right term. Shit I cant remember it.

synthskin suit there we go. Anything left of that?

>>12779675
black carapace?
I think it should still be intact- the power battery was busted to hell on our old armor, but it was still reasonable intact

Thank the bonesingers
This looks just like my old armor - I don't know how you did it, but I appreciate the attention to detail
Plus, watching them work was highly entertaining

>>12777575
>>12777498
>>12777278

He nodded once. "The squads report seeing Chaps Marines from all 4 corners of chaos, plus undivided. They managed to get to the inner city while you were out."

Filigree piped in. "The injured sister seems to be getting better but she's still very weak... Also I'm still not sure which one it is. She's covered up with a blanket and her sister touches her weapons when anyone other than verity or one of the other hospitallers gets close..."

>>12779812
No it wasnt a black carapace, only Space Marines get that right?

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12418678/
>Galatea didn't reply but the sisters around her quickly put on their helmets before reattaching her powerfist.

>"What kind of armor do you want, Inquisitor? Carapace? Mesh? Power armor? Emperor, I think we have an extra synthskin suit from... a while ago..."

>Anon
>And also reposting my vote for the synthskin suit, because I have no idea what it is. So it has to be rare, and rare equals awesome in 40k.

>Anon
>Latex bio-reactive body-glove.

>>12780785
"I think I should at least try to check up on her. I would guess it might better if you don't come with me Filigree, she seemed rather upset when I redirected the medi-skull from her sister in order to have it tend your wounds."

So what do we do now?
We should try attempt to find galatea and ask her what is going on with regards to the war now that we have lost the majority of our troops.
We should also find our weapons and equipment, we still have two vortex grenades if I recall.

>>12782498

You can put on the synthskin after the bonesingers are done with you. it didn't get destroyed.

>>12783470
"Actually, whilst I'm doing this, could you go and find my equipment filigree? I'm feeling naked without a blade by my side"

>>12780785
"The inner city? Damn it all. How bad are civilian casualties at this point?"

>>12783599
Still sick op?

>>12784045

Horribly...

>>12783470
>>12783621
>>12783979

Filigree puffed out her cheeks. "But I like you naked..." She walked off to find your other equipment as the bonesingers finished up.

"Casualties are horrible." The Inquisitor Lord looked grim.

The daemonette came back with your weapons, handing them back to you, helping you buckle them on, handing you the synthskin.

Evangela fluffed her wings, stretching one out and smoothing the ruffled feathers. A nervous habit. "The saints will protect us... And if they don't, pray that the ammo holds out." She cracked a weak smile, her eyes falling to the floor. She was just as demoralized as the rest of the troops, though she was trying to hide it.

You gave her a solemn nod, stating you were going to check on the twin, but as you made your way over to her, Tessa intercepted you, practically tackling you. "DELESSA! YOU'RE OKAY!" She looked like she was going to bite your head off. "Thank the emperor! I would have killed you if you didn't make it!"

Sister Sonja and Elizabeth were close behind, both of them looked pleased to see you. "You worried us Inquisitor!" Sonja looked concerned. Elizabeth nodded in agreement. "I suggest staying away from the twins." Her voice still sounded ragged and horrible. "Their weapons were brought back down."

Tybalt barked loudly from across the room. He was on his back, Sister Anna rubbing his belly, the Silver-Winged Angles looking like they wanted to join her, but were too afraid of what the ranting Florencia would do to them if they left.

Tessa piped in, bringing you back to reality. "Have you seen the titan? It's about a mile from the center near the city square! It's spectacular!"

Well... At least her morale was fine...

The chainsword wielding sister, walked up to the window, staring at the giant mech. "I hope Esme gets here soon. I want her to see it." She hasn't lost an ounce of faith.

>>12785157
"Nobody has really told me anything about what happened during the battle after I lost conciousness, whats been going on?"
"And I havn't had an opportunity to see the titan yet, too busy sleeping on the job and being berated by our friendly hospitalier"
Grin slightly.

>>12785157
Wow, Tessa doesn't want to murder me?
color me surprised

>>12785157
"It's good to see you too Tessa. And, I have seen the titan- I was wondering about it's selection of armaments. A drill?
Anyway, I'm happy to see you, everyone of you, again.
Anyone rack up particularly impressive kills today?"

>>12786233
Gah, I'd forgotten we'd seen the titan....How did I forget the power drill.....

>>12786233
>>12785887

She grinned. "I discovered that minced cultist is a good thing to grease a street with to slow the advancement of troops."

"As for what's going on... well... We're losing... badly... But thats just because Esme isn't here yet." She let out a breath. "And its not like we didn't slaughter their troops 10:1... They're just... endless..."

Filigree bounced up next to you, the smile vanishing from Tessa's face. "It's been intense in here! There was a daemon prince!"

Tessa made a sound as if she were attempting to surpress a laugh. "Yeah... And I heard you let the xeno witch finish it off for you."

>>12787717
"Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think that blow killed him. Given our luck, he's still probably running around somewhere, albiet minus an arm, waiting for a properly dramatic moment to return and try to take his vengeance.
Tell you what, when he shows up again, we can kill him together, deal?"

>>12787717
I'm torn
Tessa is so nice... but from the look of things, I honestly doubt Esme is going to show up
Should we say something like
"I know that the exalted Martyr is going to show up eventually, but, to be on the safe side, let's not put all of our hopes in one basket and prepare for the worst"

>>12787717
"Ten to one? Last I heard it was three. Still, it's a damn good fight you've been putting up. I wouldn't worry about the chaos troops supply reserves. Just more heretics to add to the pyre, right? I hardly suspect there will be a cultist left in the entire Segmentum after this battle finished."

>>12787769
I know what you mean, though I would be wary about mentioning so to Tessa, as I don't really recall her being this friendly, we may have done something right in her eyes, so lets not ruin it.
Though on the other hand, preparing for the worst is prudent in the extreme.

>Filigree bounced up next to you, the smile vanishing from Tessa's face.
Though apparently she still doesn't like Filigree :P

>>12788064
What can you expect?
Sisters gonna battle

>>12787753
>>12787769
>>12787839

Tessa looked thoughtful. "I'm fairly certain he was ganged up on by several arco-flagellants so I doubt he's going to give us any more trouble."

You commented about killing more cultists.

Tessa was about to respond when Sonja interjected. "In here we'll be killing even more of them. Bunkered down like this, we'll be able to concentrate our fire and slaughter them in waves!"

You nod weakly, trying to smile, telling them to be ready for the worst, just in case.

Tessa didn't waver. "Inquisitor, might I ask... Did Esme not come before when we needed her?" She paused for a beat. "She will come... I know she will."

The air seemed heavy. You turned your gaze out the window, your gaze focusing. Something was wrong... but you couldn't quite put your finger-

"Hey! Is it getting darker?" It was filigree

You glanced at a clock. The massive hands read a few hours past noon... It couldn't be getting dark yet..."

>>12788637
Oh, for the love- more warp fuckry?
"I don't know what this is, but I'm willing to bet gelt to gruel that it isn't good. I think we should consider getting into whatever defensive positions have been set up. "
I look out the window and try to see what is blotting out the sun

guys... something has been bothering me... we've fought everything choas has to throw at us... and that wasn't the climax.

... What is OP planning?

>>12788758
Nothing good.

>>12788758
I don't know- entire planet enters the warp?
I'm not looking forward to it, that's all I know

>>12788637
Do we sense anything psykicly?

>>12788827
I wonder what would happen to filigree if the entire planet was dragged into the warp, would she still count as bound?

>>12788637
"Repentia? Good for them- if some of them have managed to survive this long, they deserve nothing less then re-instatement, at the very least,"

>>12788962
Erm acroflaggelants are not repentia, they cannot be reinstated, the ammount of stuff stuck in their heads, the combat stimms that they are constantly on, and the mental regression forced upon them completly destroys all personality they may have once had.

>>12788962

Flagellants are completely different form Repentia. An Arco-Flagellant is a lobotomized criminal whose arms were replaced by power flails and have a huge backpack full of stim drugs

>>12789003
>>12789016
Ah. Really?
Consider my commendation retracted then

>>12788637
Goshdarnit, we need to get something for Sonjas throat

>>12789410
I would suggest biomancy, but that would end terribly.

>>12789476
I don't know, it's just a little a psykic medicae
What's the worse that could happen?

>>12789498
Kid, don't even get me started

>>12789498

You just guaranteed that the worse will happen.

>>12789498
We piss of one of the few people who actually likes us?
I say we leave her alone and instead focus on why the sun is dimming during midday, get our priorities straight.

anyone else wanna make an actual reply or should i just go with what i got?

>>12790080
Just go with it I say.

>>12790080
You waiting on us OP?

>>12788722

Tessa nodded. "We already have everyone set up. We've been expecting an attack for some time..." The sky continued to darken, lightning striking in several places in the city.

"Its the clouds..." Filigree had her nose pressed against the glass. "Warp clouds filled with fire and lightning..."

>>12790525
Okay... is their plan to rain warp fire until the buildings are uninhabitable? the lightning strikes would take cake of any vehicles that survived.

>>12790525
Look sharply at filigree
"Explain. Is the planet being pulled into the warp?"

>>12790525
"The chaos spawn are capable of commanding the weather? News to me.
Do you think we should get everyone inside?"

>>12790555

The daemonette shook her head. "I don't think so... But the warp activity is increasing... The chaos gods are excited, slaanesh especially..."

The nearby sisters flinched at the mention of the chaos god's name.

Filigree twitched in excitement. "Something has happened... a shift of power..."

>>12790640
"Can you be a little more specific than that filigree? What would you say is likely to occur?"

>>12790640
"What do you mean? Is one of the chaos gods getting stronger, or another getting weaker?
Are they gaining more ground?"

>>12790700
>>12790668

She shook her head. "I've seen this before... When a planet is overtaken by chaos... if more than one power is involved, you can feel the shift when the influence of one increases in an area for whatever reason... Sometimes taht god is getting the planet... sometimes its a personal issue..."

>>12790757
"Any ideas on which it is this time? Or are we going to have just wait and see?"

>OOC:Paranoia is kicking in again...

>>12790922

She let out a low laugh. "I told you... Its slaanesh... As for why, I don't think..." Her voice trailed off as the clouds began to bulge, thin streams of clouds extending downward, touching the ground before thickening into swirling vortexes of warp energy, lighting cracking this way and that.

The other sisters had clustered around the windows now, watching the unfolding evends with a mixture of horror and awe.

"Look!" A sister you didn't know the name of pointed out the window. Standing in front of the building was a lone figure. A sister in blood red armor and with hair as black as her sash. She was staring up at the building, her hands behind her back.

>>12791044
...I recognize her
"She's the fallen sister, isn't she? The one Esme went to do battle with in the warp?"

>>12791044
"If you've come to surrender before the might of of the God Emperor place your weapons on the ground then step forwards with your hands raised."

To the rest of the sisters "Well it was worth a shot."

>>12791044
"Emperor Dammit, these are the times I miss having long range artillery on command,
I assume that this is the personal issue you were talking about Filigree?"

>>12791184
>>12791156
>>12791076

Filigree shrugged as you shouted out your demand for her surrender. She let out a short laugh, looking up straight at you. When she spoke her voice was unnaturally amplified, the slight undertone of witchkin power ringing in the air.

"You Imperial types were always good for a laugh..." She let her arms drop to her sides. "It must be pretty bad up there... knowing that each city on this planet is on the brink of collapse... I feel so fortunate that my master drew the straw to strike the finishing blow. Your Exalted Martyr has given me a lot of trouble. At the time I wasn't at my full abilities though." Her gaze turns up to the sky.

"We have the power to crush you in an instant... Why is it that we refrain. Do you know, dear Sisters?"

Every sister in the room flinched as she addressed them as equals, one of the nearby buildings erupting into a tower of rage, bullets raining down on the corrupt sister. The didn't do a thing, stopping short, exploding against a shield of psychic energy. The Black Harlot sneered. "I was not addressing you!" She flicked her wrist, the entire building twisting apart in a huge blast of energy before being sucked into the warp with a dull pop.

"I do not appreciate rudeness."

You glance to either side. The sisters around you were either too shocked to fire or were using every single ounce of willpower to refrain.

I knew there was a reason we held onto the vortex grenades

>>12791282
"It's also considered rude to erase your hosts from the face of creation, but I doubt that'll stop you."

>>12791282
"Let me guess, you're here to show us the error of our ways and to help guide us into the lasting light of chaos or else be destroyed and bluh bluh bluh you're a huge bitch, amirite?"

>>12791282
"And I don't appreciate melodramatic speeches.
So, what is it this time? You still sore Esme caught you with your britches down and gave you spanking?"

>>12791497
>>12791437

"Of course not! You stubborn bitches would never join us! The perfect little sorroritas! The uncorrnptable sisters of battle! Daddy's good little girls..." A portal opened up behind her. "I'm just here to bring you a gift."

Out from the portal walked a tall woman in shattered violet armor. She was carrying a sword in one hand and a bolter in the other. She was battered and broken, her entire body spasming periodically. You recognized her! She used to be in Sister Tessa's squad, though you didn't know her by name.

"Since you are not fond of speeches, I will make this quick. I'm sure you all remember Sister Rose... She was such a good girl as we tore open her soul and fused it with a daemon... Fought us the whole time. She was a virgin too... Far more cooperative once her conversion was complete... wern't you?"

The creature didn't respond, jerking back, letting out a painful whimper, more of them stumbling out of the portal. "They're all still quite self aware..." She ran her hand through Rose's hair. "Even now her faith is unwavering. Her body belongs to chaos, of course." Her gaze traveled up to the window. "I just thought you might like to see whats in store when you lose this fight."

>>12791578
If her intent was to try to intimidate us, she's rather failed.
Even now, with a deamon bound to her soul, Sister fights on, keeping her faith in the Immortal God Emperor.
I will find a way to save them- even if it means going through literal hell itself

>>12791578
Bound?
Does that mean that they have a similiar arraignments as to us and Filigree, with the daemon being in the dominant position?

>>12791622

...maybe but... how are the other sisters taking this... I mean... The sisters are like family.

....
Yep, huge bitch

>>12791691

I think OP means combined... Like they are daemons now, only they have their mind. They are trapped in their own body kind of case.

>>12791578
I aim and fire my bolter at sister rose's head.
"Do not think of them as your comrades in arms, they are trapped in a living hell. With every abomination that you kill you free a sister to join with the emperor's light, this is the way it has to be. The fallen sister will pay for what she has done, even if we have to die to achieve this, this I swear on the name of the god emperor of mankind"

>>12791719

I think we should wait for Miriael to leave before shooting. i vote we check on the other sisters first

>>12791719
NO DON'T SHOOT HER

>>12791760
>>12791768
Those sisters are possessed, they are no longer in control of their actions, if they could have broken free do you not think they would have tried by now? We are doing them a favour.
And by taking the first shot, we likely make it easier for the other sisters, as do you think any of them truly want to take the first shot in this scenario?

>>12791817
But what if there's a way to fix them?
Or at least bring the balance of the deamon under their control?

>>12791817

the corrupt sister literally destroyed an entire building of sisters that shot. We should wait for her to go away

>>12791840
That was when she was directly fired at however.
I'm guessing she wants to break the sisters by forcing them to fire upon their own, she will expect them to be shot, perhaps not this early, but she will expect it.

>>12791862
that's what she wants though
Won't she look like a silly muggins if we could turn her own terror tactics against her though?

>>12791862

do we really want to test that?

>>12791839

I think this is the point. Why this fight is harder. We can't show them mercy. No matter what. Even if it ends up we could have saved them at least they aren't being tortured anymore... even if the daemon consumes their souls. Their torture has ended.

>>12791874
The fallen sister intends to break our morale.
We can turn this instead into a means of instilling righteous fury, rather than diminsihing our morale she could instead have helped replenish it. Wouldn't it be better to stick with something that has a reasonable probability of working which, even if it fails, still wipes out the opposing force, rarther than risking everything?

>>12791908

The more I think about this, the more I realize how fucked we are in this kind of situation...

Horror movie to make me feel better. symptoms back. I'll post in a sec.

>>12791951
"We cannot, hesitate, we cannot allow doubt to fill our hearts. Every enemy who you slay, is a sister who you have saved from a fate worse than death. This fallen sister would defile everything which you stand for, twisting the bodies of your fallen into cruel mockeries of their past selves, do not be fooled, those are not your sisters who stand out there, but daemons bound into their bodies, torturing their souls. If you lack the strength to do what is neccessary, then the fallen sister has already won."

I do need a first person reply to work with though

>>12792037

spoke too soon

>>12791719
There's these 2 at the moment, if someone wants to write another, be my guest.
>>12792037
>>12792031

>>12792052
Gah, got the link order wrong, here are the first person posts.
>>12791719
>>12792031

the other anons disapprove of shooting so lets not go with that. lets see if they want to contribute something.

>>12792145
Filigree should know if we might help them. Or not, no idea. Could be possible to get rid of the daemons controlling them. We're on the second most holy imperial planet, don't we have any reliquaries that might help?

formulating ideas but its almost 1:30am guys I'll post on the morrow when i can give you my full quality.

Bumping from page 9.

thinking

bump from page 11

>>12791578
Flip her the bird.
"Very well done- you've shown that the forces of chaos are too afraid to fight except when they have the overwhelming advantage and can only enjoy themselves if they have absolute control over their opponents and no fear of retribution.
Basically, you're a bunch of petty petulant childlike bullies, is the message I'm getting from this demonstration."

back and still sick :/

>>12796768
Clearly you need a medi skull. Though not the one in our rogue trader group, that thing is lethal.

>>12796807
oh, how so?

>>12796816
Well, it seems to kill more people than it heals. First time it failed a check it was described as carfully aligning itself and then suddenly accelerating into someones neck with a needle outstretched, critical fail on a medicae check :P It's kill count is fairly impressive, considering it has a 50% chance of suceeding in its checks.

what I need is a cup of tea with a dash of quirky and corny comedy while focusing on something tiny and mundane.

so... tea while watching firefly/buffy/xena while painting warhamms.

Hey I can dream, cant I?

>>12796895
yeah, we all can dream

I also read back over my last few posts last night. Sorry I was tired. they would have been better otherwise.

also stil waiting for pain meds to kick in so when they do i'll post.

I still think we should shoot sister rose. If it kills her, well that's one enemy down, we have shown defiance and we have freed one of the sisters from torture.
If for some reason she regenerates or something, we just lend credence to the "They are no longer your sisters" speech/rant and make it easier from a morale perspective.
Plus, it might shut the fallen sister up :D

>>12796996
Nah, it'll just play into her hands- she WANTS us to kill the other sisters, to help destroy morale
if we can prove that even chaos can be overcome by faith in the emperor then we'll have struck a double blow against chaos

>>12797221
The sisters are already dead. They are mere puppets to daemons now, trapped in a hlaf life of constant torture. There may be a way of saving them, but is it worth the risk that the possessed sisters over run us in the mean time? And do you think the other sisters will hold fire indefinatly? We do not have much time, better that we make the best of a bad situation.

>>12797270
The lady just said that the Sisters are still conscious, and that Rose in particular still has her will
What I recommend is nonlethal crowd suppression tactics
The sisters are experienced enough in that area, and from the looks of it, the deamon bound sisters are armed with nothing but their barehands

>>12797320
I did not mean in a literal sense. For all intents and purposes they are dead, to think of them as anything else could detract from the reality of ths situation, that we are about to be assualted by an army of possessed.

>>12797395
So we excorcise them- at least to help tilt the balance of power so that they're in control of the deamons rather then other way round

>>12797320

they are ALL still have their will

>>12797481
But they are not in control of their bodies anymore. Does this mean with sufficient force of will, they may be able to override the daemon and retake control?

>>12797498
The way I see it ATM is that they have similar relationship as far as us and Filigree have, but with the deamons have the dominating position rather then the humans, perhaps because the deamons are stronger in terms of will power or because they used the reverse of whatever we did to bind Filigree to our will
Perhaps we can find a way to fix that

>>12797498

you'll have to wait and see.

Now that you've had time to discuss do you want to fire or speak or check up on how the sisters are doing maybe share your plan?

>>12797539

doing nothing and watching is an option too

>>12797539
Well people seem to be rather against shooting from the off. I am personally against trying to free the sisters, as I view it as too much of a risk. How about we go for the middle ground of badass rallying speech?

>>12797561
also, see how the sisters are taking this

>>12797598
Tell them our plan- try to use nonleathal take downs on the possessed sisters
We may have the means to exorcise them, or at least save their souls from eternal torment at the hands of a daemon

>>12796745
>>12797598
Also, this

I would just like to point out, that I really can't see the sisters playing non-lethal, and with a prospensity for flamers, bloters and chain weapons, they can't really cause non-lethal takedowns without vastly reducing their combat effectiveness.
And planting in their heads the idea that the sisters can be saved will just make them start doubting, if and when we are forced to kill some this will likely proove disaterous for morale. Better to establish no chance of saving them, and to instead shoot to kill. We are an inquisitor, we make the tough decisions that no one else wants too, because no one else will.

>>12797689
But think of the potential!
An army of sisters with bound deamons at their command!
THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES

>>12797717
Sisters who would likely take their own lives shortly after regaining control? They hate daemons remember, and those who consort with or are tainted by daemons are to be killed. Every single one of them is now tainted and they know this.
And right now they are possessed with no control over their own actions. I know what I would do the moment I regained control.

You turn to see how the other siststers are taking this. The horrified looks on their faces speaks volumes. To the sisters, such a fate is worse than death. It was heresy of the highest order. Treason.

But to be sound in mind and not in body... Death would be a blessing. But to fire upon one you called family not hours before...

You shook off the train of thought. Now was a time for strength, not despair. The actions of the sisters could not be predicted, distraught as they were. They needed to focus.

>>12797947
Badass speech it is then I guess.

>>12797974
"BATTLE BROOOOOOTH.. erm... SISTERS!"

>>12797998

TODEH THE ENEMEH IS AT AOR DOAR!

Specifics of said speech should be thought out. Elements of this could be used, first part mainly >>12792031 I will admit a slight bias in that I had fun coming up with it.
We need to focus their hatred on the fallen sister, as hate is a powerful emotion which can be blinding. In this case a good thing, we do not want them thinking to hard on precisely what they are having to do.
If possible it may be worth taking command rather than having them have to make the concious decision to fire on their sisters, it is easier to follow orders after all, and it may enable us to slightly bypass the guilt by instead redirecting their feelings of guilt into hared towards us for forcing them into doing it. This idea is a bit flimsy I will admit and is most definatly up for contention.
We need to reinforce the idea that killing the sisters is freeing them, and is a release. They are not killing their sisters, instead they are freeing them etc.

Just some ideas.

>>12798089
I'd say simply killing the possessed sisters isn't awesome enough for our inquisitor but I'm tired and off to bed. So I guess I'll see what you decided to do tomorrow.

Alright, we raise the morale of the battle sisters then what? We're back to the same problem: Sit here and do nothing or shoot and potentially get zapped into the warp a little sooner.
Is there any reason for us to stall for time because otherwise we might as well just take the shot.

This whole thing is sliding from GRIMNDARK into Warp falls everyone dies.

>>12798121
Depends on the way we do it does it not?
I welcome suggestions as to how we are meant to subdue the possessed, and how we are meant to exorcise them in this situation. I will admit that it would be awesome if we could through some miracle save the sisters, but I can honestly not see any means of us acomplishing this.

>>12798144
I don't think we will be killed for taking the shot. I would not be surprised if the fallen sister is waiting to see how long it takes before the sisters start firing on their own.

The way I see this is that is basically a hold out situation, we see how long we can hold them off, and pray that esme returns before we all die.

>>12798146
Last post before I'm going to bed. I swear...

We're on Ophelia VII, oldest of Cardinal worlds. There has to be the Emperor's most blessed handkerchief or something like that around here that might help us pull an exorcism. It's still a holy planet these daemons walk on, so we should have the home advantage. Ask Filigree if she's got any idea how we might save them.

>>12798176
You may have a point, no harm in asking. I think that time is the main constraint here.

>>12798176
>Ask Filigree if she's got any idea how we might save them.
Ask the Demon? No, let's ask the Living Saint and or the Farseer that are currently present.

>>12798229
I agree, let's not ask the one person with a rather intimate understanding of the whole situation.

>>12798281
>>12798229
Or lets just ask all 3....

>>12798291
Stop being reasonable. This is 40k. The most grimdark setting ever. We've already failed and the chaos gods continue to torture us by having us relive our final weeks of futile battles.

>>12798323

If only the Ultramarines were here...

>>12798281
The Demon with no real intrest in saving the other sisters since the Chaos God about to take this planet is Slaanesh? Filigree might be interested in keeping us or herself alive at this point but that'd be about it.

>>12798323
I'm being pragmatic, if you want information, don't just use one source.

I wonder what would happen if we got a vortex grenade near the portal that she is using to bring in the possessed sisters. If there was ever a situation that needed the application of excessive force, this may be it.

>>12798362
So what happens when you use a vortex grenade from inside the warp?

>>12798406
Something awesome? If it drags people into the warp, they either will not move or be catapaulted elsewhere. Plus the whole destructive energies tearing things apart. Should be interesting.

you're not in the warp. You will be if you lose though.

so does anyone have an awesome speech or will you ask someone whats going on.

>>12798634
I was hoping that some people would contribute. I can write one if no one else is around.

go for it.

"Before you stands a woman, one you formerly called sister, one who has cast aside the vows she swore, one who has cast aside everything that she once stood for one who would now defile everything for which you do. She has taken your sisters and twisted them, trapped them in a fate worse than death. Is death not a release in this state? Preferable to the torture through which they endure? We cannot hesitate, we cannot allow doubt to fill our hearts. Every enemy who you slay, is a sister who you have saved. Do not flinch from your duty, you must honour the vows which you have sworn and together we will defend this planet until our dying breath. If you lack the strength and conviction to do what must be done, then we have already lost."

>Best I could come up with on short notice

>>12798805
>To evangela after the speech with filigree nearby, she may chime in after all
"Do you know of any means with which we could break the daemons hold over the sisters en masse in a short period of time? As such a thing could be really useful right about now"

>>12798805
Remind me to kick you in the balls if I should ever visit Australia (If your the Australian Alpharius, of course). Considering your environment, it might not hurt you but it will make me feel a lot better.

>>12798850
If you can come up with something please go ahead, I am trying given the circumstances, but I have already admitted I am biased.
If no one else is going to write out first person replies, it is not my fault when what I write does not please everybody.

>>12798865
I wouldnt even know where to begin. I couldnt write something for this situation because I can not comprehend any possible way we could survive this.

We have a Living Saint here. Talk to her.

"Evangela do you have any ideas on how best to handle this situation?"

Alternately: "Kill them all, let the Emperor sort them out."

Wait wait, I'm sorry let me catch up

>>12798634
I think we should ask Evangela and Filigree about the situation, hammer down the specifics, and THEN make an awesome speech

>>12799356
We'll surivve this, no problem
At the end of the day, it's just a bunch of people who will be tearing into us with their bare hands
We have power armor and bolter guns
Even with superior numbers, it'd be a massacre on the part of the possesed sisters

>>12799418
They have weapons
>Out from the portal walked a tall woman in shattered violet armor. She was carrying a sword in one hand and a bolter in the other.

I may have been slightly preemptive with the speech, but I don't think we should wait too long, shit could hit the fan really quickly. And if we don't take the initiative, someone else may, we have no idea what will happen then.

I can write a speech, but I'd like to talk to Filigree, Evangela, or perhaps the Lord Inquisitor first
I'm not certain if the Farseer is nearby and can be reached in time (maybe a psykic message?)

>>12799474
Keep the bitch talking, her and her kind like to revel in moments like this

>>12799498
Also, send a general message through the comm network
"For the love of the God Emperor, hold your fire!"

>>12799524
I would suggest couching it more along the terms of holding fire and keeping the fallen sister talking so as to stall for time and allow us to mount plans for a suitable defence. Establishing ourselves as someone who appears to be in control of a situation, or at the very least, calm in the face of the horror it appears to be for the sisters, could be useful when the fighting breaks out.

>>12799569
Right, sounds like a good idea

>>12798844
>>12799479

You grit your teeth, turning toward the living saint, keeping your voice low as you ask her if the sisters can be saved.

The living saint swallowed hard. "Is it possible to exorcise anything once in the grips of a daemon?" her voice was low, trembling. "Have we ever even tried? Always we destroy what is tainted... never..."

Filigree was staring at the sister, biting her finger to choke her laughter. From behind she appeared to be just as horrified as the sisters, but you knew better.

>>12799773
Take filigree to one side
"Anything to add?"

>>12799773
"Of course, sisters- burn them all and let the god emperor sort it out, I forgot.
Filigree: maybe you, as my lead pupil in deamonolgy, can shed some light on this situation?"

>>12800097

She was trembling with excitement. "I'd be masturbating if I didn't have to wear this fucking power armor!"

She cupped your face, her nails digging slightly into your skin. Her fanged smile stretching from ear to ear. "Don't worry Quizzy. I wont let them get you... You're mine after all. Can't let those lovely ladies take you away, now can I?"

She let out a low chuckle. "Such genious... Look at those pathetic imperial whores... they don't want to fire on what is clearly festering with the glory of chaos... Ohhh this is getting interesting... I cant wait to see how this turns out..."

>>12800479
"Filigree, concentrate. Or do I have to go put you in time out for the rest of this battle? "

>>12800479
"I do not have time to mess around filigree, do you know something, or do you not?"

>>12800479
"Filigree, masterbate later! Can we do something to break the ties between deamon and sister, or at least tip the scales in the favor of the sisters control?"

Why does everyone want to talk/do something with me when i'm feverish with a shot voice?

holy shit. It is midnight and only now people have stopped calling me to ask me how I am.

I did not know i had this many friends.

>>12804492
Count yourself lucky

Daily page 9 bump.

>>12800668
>>12800571
>>12800508

She grinned at you. "Oh come on Quizzy... You wouldn't do that to me." She licked her lips. "No I don't know what's going on, but I do like what I see." She fidgeted, looking longingly at the window. "This is going to get good..."

Well the only other person we can really ask is the farseer.
However, I'm worried that we may soon lose the initiative, whatever we're going to do, we need to act fast.

>>12807550

How you phrase the question will change the answer you get

>>12807607
Well thats...
disconcerting

I go and find the farseer.
"Farseer Rowden, I need your help, specifically with regards to these possessed sisters. I do not know how the other sisters are going to react to this situation, assuming of course the shock wears off. All I know is that the effect of this on their already strained morale may be catastrophic. As such I am looking for ways to restore their morale and to save the souls of the sisters out there. Do you know of any way of allowing the possessed sisters to regain control? Or better yet, banishing the daemons alltogether without killing the sisters? I do not ask this casually, I ask because we are fast running out of options. I do not know what will hapeen if we are forced to kill the sisters and, if at all possible, I would rather not find out."

>Well her's one to get ball rolling a bit...

>>12807134
"Don't think I won't stuff you a supply closet somewhere and have you recite the Litany of Litany's Litany five hundred times or until the battle is over if this is too much excitement for you. Now, can you handle yourself? Will you behave?"

>>12807607
Try and get her on the rise telepathically
"Rowdan, are you seeing what I'm seeing? Do you have any knowledge of possessions such as these? Do you think it possible to reverse it? Or at the very least tip the balance of power in favor of the Sisters rather then the deamons as far control goes?"

"Filigree, do you think these bound sisters could be similiar to our own relationship?"

>>12807607
"Do we know that the claims that bitch on the ground is making are true?"

>>12807134
I try to get on her emotional side.

"Filigree, do you care about me? Would you let anybody hurt me?" I wait for response. "Well, I care for the Sisters.

We've been all fighting countless hordes of Chaos. You too, Filigree. We've depended on each other, we trusted each other. I love every single one of you like my blood sister.

I've sacrificed everything. My conscience, my life, even my soul. And though I know that at the end I'll be either devoured alive by some monster or executed for heresy, of which I am obviously guilty, all I want is to say that I did everything I could. Please. If you know anything, you must tell me! Is there anything I can do to save them?"

My words are intended to arouse emotions, but the desperation in my voice is real. I badly need to do something and fast.

>>12809330
Me too, but we can only wait for OP

>>12809330
>>12809922
I have my doubts that if she knew anything she would tell us, after all we could potentially use it to break her bond to us and I don't think she would want that.
I say we give the farseer a shot. Filigree is not on the imperial side remember, if we hadn't bound her she would still be an enemy. She doesn't care about the sisters, so why would she help them?

But then again I am a cynical mistrusting bastard, and I may be reading this completly wrong.

So much homework. Still so sick. let me finish up what i'm doing and i'm gonna take a nice long break

>>12810202

break meaning i'm gonna be here for quite awhile.

>>12810210
Awesome

>>12810210
>>12810202
Aw man, you're still sick? flu shots?
Whatever it is- feel better man

>>12810030
My idea was that Filigree apparently likes us. And if we tell her that we care about the Sisters of Battle, she might want to help them. For us.

Then again, she might be just THAT manipulative. Still, it might not make the situation better, but also won't make it worse.

>>12810359
Erm, depends who overhears the conversation. I don't think florencia would like it that much. And some of the sisters still don't really like us.

I think that sounding in control rather than desperate would be better in this situation, when even the living saint is struggling, remaining stoic could help if we need to rally people.
That said, I agree that filigree is a good choice for information, after all being a daemon she proabably knows what could banish her and by association, other daemons. And if she does like us and isn't being manipulative, appealng to her may just work.

>>12810359
That sounds about right to me

>>12810296

its like the flu from hell. seems to be about clearing up though maybe another day

anyway quest time

>>12810465

Filigree's curiosity overrides any loyalties it seems (looking at her willingness to tell us about the warp devices)

I think just bearing witness to this is what is exciting her. If she knew anything, she'd tell us because it would make it more exciting.

Okay so what seems to be the overall agreement you guys?

>>12811217
Check with filigree to make sure she knows nothing else about this phenomena or has any ideas about it's origins, methods, or possible reversal
Check with Farseer to see if she knows anything about this
Flip off the bitch

>>12811256
This really, save for flipping of the farseer. We save that for later, when we are still alive against all odds.

>>12811531
I was talking about the fallen sister smarming about on the ground

>>12811546
Ah, in that case, by all means continue. We could even throw a vortex grenade at her, who knows? It may ruin her day. Especially if she isn't actually a daemon, just infused with power. Remember, if it bleeds, we can kill it.

>>12811256

your attempts to glean anything more from the daemonette are met with only laughter, the daemon unable to form complete sentences.

The Farseer's expression was guarded, though she was tense. "I've seen this before Inquisitor, but only once. A being forced to be the puppet of the warp, only to be consumed by it upon their death. Regardless of our action, we will be making chaos stronger, unless your sisters are somehow special. in that they can avoid their soul being devoured."

>>12812014
"So your saying that there is no way to remove the daemons now that they are bound? And that the only means we have of saving the sisters souls is their own willpower?"

>>12812130
.... Inspiring speeches time?
FIGHT
FIGHT
FIGHT AGAIST THE DIEING OF THE LIGHT!

>>12812130
Quick? Are there any psykic spells or powers to boost willpower?

>>12812161
In that case, there are already a few in the thread. Again I admit bias in that I enjoyed writing >>12798805

And then lets bring the pain to the fallen sister. We will find away. We have the power of rule of cool and have maxed out badass, how can we lose?

>>12812183
,,,
Pleae don't say that in a quest thread

>>12812183
I am in favor of the option to BRING THE PAIN!
I was hoping though that we could inspire those bound sisters to tear off their shackles through our inspiring speech as well,

>>12812193
:D

Another point, in our badass speech, we should refrain from mentioning that the sisters will have their souls eaten unless they have enough will. If it comes to it, we should lie about how we are infact saving the sisters. Morale is important here, if they realise what they are infact doing, we are in for a world of pain.

>>12812130
Inspire the soulbound sisters?
how?
We've got a living angel on our side- can't she do something to make people more entranced by the god emperor's light
At the very best we can always fall back to bard tactics of raw charisma
"Fight, fight, fight, against having your soul eaten,"

The problem is, from the way I understand it, their will doesn't allow them to regain control, only to prevent their souls being snatched and devoured by the daemons when they die.
:(

>>12812423
Darn
Well, the farseer will clear that up with your question
Still- epic speeches can't hurt, can they?

>>12812483
They most definatly will help, the sisters need one quite badly I think.

>>12812497
Give me fifteen minutes to whip something up

>>12812532
I would suggest bastardising from real world speeches, things in this thread, and the imperial primer, easy ways to pad it out into a long inspiring rant.

>>12798805

The sisters shift uncomfortably, their faces hardening, though the idea of what they were about to do seemed to haunt them. Evangela straightened up, taking a deep breath before approaching the window, raising her voice.

"You come here and strike down and humiliate us. You have come to break our spirits, but we shall remain here and fight until we draw our last breath!"

The corrupt sister grinned widely. "I hoped you would say that..." She snapped her fingers, the possessed sisters going into a frenzy, firing their bolters at the windows, though they seemed to be a rather poor aim, their bodies twitching and jerking.

"So, what you're saying is that it's up to the women themselves to fight these deamons? There's no psyker magic that we can work?"

While we're talking with the others to make some sort of strategy, Filigree has free reign to get into an insult fight with the fallen Sister

>>12812695
Hey I'm still writing here!

>>12812744

sorry bout that. The sisters still need some rallying. show them what you can do.

>>12812744
Having another speech that we can use at a moments notice is not a bad thing. Hell we could use it part way through this fight to further raise spirits.

need to brb for a bit. not sure if where i'm going has wifi. fairly certain it does.

>>12812695
'Sisters! I call out to you! Even now, in the form hidden and bound by the destroyers powers, I can see you.
I can see you and your battles and know that, even as your bodies are wracked by the vile wishes of the deamon, you fight still. I can see your desperation, I can sense your despair.
For you, you may believe this is the greatest battle you’ve ever fought- a direct contest of wills between that which you have sworn to destroy.
For me, that is a Tuesday afternoon!
COME ON YOU PANSIES! YOU’VE SPENT YOUR ENTIRE LIVES TRAINING FOR THIS MOMENT- TO TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE DEAMON ON HIS OWN GROUND!
DON’T LET THE OPPORTUNITY PASS BY!
FIGHT! STRIKE NOT WITH BOLTER, BLADE, OR BURNING PITCH, BUT WITH THE SACRITY OF YOUR VERY SOULS!
FIGHT! YOUR WEAPONS IN THIS BATTLE ARE THE PRAYERS YOU’VE BEEN LEARNING SINCE BEFORE YOU CAN REMEMBER. YOUR ARMOR IS YOUR CONTEMPT INGRAINED SINCE BEFORE BIRTH!
Look at the deamon twisting within you, perverting The God Emperor’s most sacred warriors! Will you stand for such an outrage!
Fight now! Fight for your Sisters in Arms! Fight for the grace of preserving this, your most sacred of sacreties! Fight to save your souls from eternal damnation!
FIGHT BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN TO FIGHT!

>>12812848
Aaah, you were writing a speech for the possessed sisters. Thought you were writing one for the ones who are fighting alongside us.

>>12812848
>cont
You think this is bad! I've been to hell and back Ladies, and what you are experiencing is nothing more then a light migraine in comparison!
Look at yourselves, betwitched by the forces of the ruinous powers!
What is a deamon? Nothing more then a miserable pile of emotions!

*Evangela, get up and flutter your wings a bit, try to look holy and symbolic why don't you? And would it kill you to use some sort of blessed radiation to help motivate them?*
Look, sisters! Look unto Evangela our living Saint!
She was like you! Bound and raped and disfigured a thousand times over by the forces of Heresy, her body scarred beyond comprehension, her mind broken!
But do you think that let her stop her?
Hell no! She broke through that!
How? By purity, piety, and above all else unflinching hatred of the warp the wytch and the mutant!
These are the values we have built the imperium on, and it will be a cold day on Maggretha before I let them fall.
Let the emotions flow through you- the anguish, the hatred, the sheer unthinking ignorance!
Take power from them!
AND THEN KICK THOSE DEAMONS IN THE BALLS!"

>>12812877
I'm hoping to do both actually

>>12812942
>>12812877
How does it sound so far?

>>12812961
Far better than my attempt....
>>12812942
You mean there is more?!?

>>12812997
Yes

>>12813003
>>12812997
"And as for you Mirial Sabathial born in M41: 52, served under cannoness Talsan the Unforgiving of the Swift Striking Justicars of the Emperor, a small fringe sub sect based in the Kronus Expanse, listed as Killed in Action in M41:110, reappearing three decades later during a rearguard action on Sanctum Sancturis leading a band of the followers of Slaanesh (Breath)
Who the hell do you think you are?
You come to us in this parade of misfortune and and deception, and deign to act as though somehow you are a threat?
Mirial, let me tell you one thing- you are, at best, an oddity in the minds of the Ruinous ones. And if you believe anything different then you are stupider then you look!
You call this a moral dillemna?
Please- I once had to slaughter my way out of a schoa progenium where all of the Kindertoten had been transfixed by a weaver of Khorne!
I've destroyed entire populated planets just to watch them burn!
I do not see today a champion of chaos- instead I see a petulant child, one jealous of her siblings for the attention they receive from their farther!
you've shown that the forces of chaos are too afraid to fight except when they have the overwhelming advantage and can only enjoy themselves if they have absolute control over their opponents and no fear of retribution.
When I look at you, Mirial Sabatheial, I see a sad, lost little girl quaking in armor three times to big for her!
I do not feel hatred, or anger, or fear.
I feel only pity.
Mirial Sabathiel- you are small time!"

>>12813284
Well that may well piss her off.

Anon, you are glorious.

>>12813284
I try my best- we might want to save that one until we're in close fighting with her though
Up to you guys

>>12813333
No!
Say it!
And then challenge her to a face off, one on one!

>>12813400
Face off is a bad idea. Unless we get close enough and then happen to activate two vortex grenades that we are holding behind our back...

>>12813436
That might have potential
Hmmm
We'd need away to make sure that it stuck to her though
FETCH THE HOLY MAGNOSOS!

>>12813498
I was thinking more heroic sacrifice, if she never see's them, she can't dodge. We already know that we are not getting out of this alive and will be executed for heresy, so why not die on our own terms trying to kill the BBEG?

>>12813535
Or we could cook them for a few seconds, then throw and pray.

>>12813535
>>12813546
Somehow I don't think Mirial is the bbeg- and I think Delessa enjoys life too much to contemplate a heroic sacrifice
Cooking them for a moment may have potential- I was also thinking of perhaps paralysing her for a second and stuffing one of them down her throat

>>12813605
How would we paralyse her? We have already seen her destroy a building with her mind.
Throwing and praying is probably our best option.

Actually....I have a plan! We still have a servo skull, imperial servants are know for them, we could rig ours with a single vortex grenade, keeping the other as backup, then if we fight her, get it near her somehow, then detonate.

I don't know if facing off against the fallen sister is a good idea, but if we do, my general plan would be to spam frag grenades until she's unphased by us throwing stuff at her, and then toss the void sphere at her- aimed so that it breaks directly on her person, like on her chest or something

Instead of challenging her to a duel now, just make the speech and see how she reacts

>>12813864
We do seem to be getting a bit ahead of ourselves I will admit...

We appear to be autosaging.

>>12813930
In fact we are currently on page 6.

>>12813982
shit, really?
What should we do?

>>12814059
Hope that OP gets back soon.

I'm OP's friend, she's heading home and will be home in around 30-60min

>>12814677
....
SHE?

>>12814677
If thats the case why did OP not post instead?
But if it's not true, why would you post in autosaging thread with 2-3 people in....
Hmmmmmmmmmm
So, troll or truthfull....
Lets go with the mathematicians answer of yes.

>>12814677
Okay, thanks brah

>>12815315
>>12815264

>>12815338
Well that would be the awesome speech, and a small ammount of the discussion. I think....

NEW THREAD!!!: >>12815395

>>12813284

btw this is AMAZING where did you get all that info on Miriael?

hell, I don't even have this info!

>>12815424
Oh, OP I just kind of made it up
i assumed since we're an inquisitor we'd know stuff like that
