The older you get, the better you understand that galaxy doesn't like you at best and at worst it's out to kill you. Especially when you start suspecting, that you were created out of Lamenter gene-seed.Don't expect important rolls to be below 80, GM will try to the best of his ability to kill/take away/spoil things you like, you will most likely feel RAGE, frustration and hopelessness. Welcome to another cursed Chapter Quest thread. Shit is getting grimdark.
>>19724048=]Chapter Quest XVIII[=---Our wiki: http://chapterquest.wikia.com/wiki/Chapter_Quest_WikiOur chat: http://cbe005.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23RisingSons&server=irc.Rizon.net---Pic made by Chapter Master PC game team, let's support them however we can and prove that /tg/ can get shit done!
The fuck are you talking about? The longer I live the longer I can point to divine intervention keeping me safe for something better. You're lacking faith "Brother."
>>19724067We endure the most ardous quests because no one else can do it for us! It's a humbling blessing.
So are we going to get a shiny bionic eye with laser dakka in it to replace our lost one?I think we should look at it as an advantage really, all grizzled old space marines need a robot part somewhere
>>19724065You sit in front of the desk in your humble cell. In front of you there lies just a single small piece of paper. However it terrifies you more than monstrosities that you saw in the underwater Quixos base just a few days ago.Date: 322.M41From: Kerius Dermont, Lord Regent of MormarkTo: Chapter Master of Ghosts of RetributionSubject: Strange omensMy trusted firend,I write to you with a grave concern in my mind. Recently I received reports from Mormarkian Adeptus Astra Telepathica division that they cannot any longer send astro-pathic messages from Mormark, they claim that Immaterium is getting more and more restless. Even this message had to be sent through my accomplices in Tachion Primaris to reach you. I know that this is not exactly your area of expertise, but maybe you know someone who can advise me on how should I act? Planet cannot survive without contact with the rest of Imperium, it is my duty to solve this problem. But this is not the only concern of mine... There were other, darker signs. Miners claimed, that Mormarkian rock bled on the Day of Emeperor's Ascension. Also, the High Priest of Mormark recently fell of the highest spire of his church and his body was found dead, without a sign of blood. I am worried, so I turn to your wise counsel in this time of need.Sincerely yours, Kerius DermontIt seems the Eldar Witch was indeed onto something...-899-
>>19724098You indeed lost an eye during the Operation Ghostly Justice and it would be wise to replace it. Would you like a custom implant or a standart one(you could buy one even here on Inaria)?Your fleet is awaiting your orders, at the moment you are in Inarian orbit station "Parnassus".Oh, and I started filling in The Book of the Glorious dead, if someone has ideas for glorious, heroic, interesting or plain stupid deaths - you can fill them in, there are still some spaces left:http://chapterquest.wikia.com/wiki/The_Book_of_the_Glorious_Dead
>>19724225Let's go visit Regon, he's bound to have some decent tech for us.Maybe even the Bionic Eye with the hotshot-laspistol built in.We should also see how he's getting on with the Tau Pulse rifles and show him the starmap we got in the raid to see if any might have STC fragments.
>>19724225A top quality augmetic would be nice.With or without laser dakka, the sooner we get onto it the sooner we can expect to have it in and get used to itBut we need more than just me suggesting it
>>19724225Pic MAYBE related, you never specified how you bury your dead.
The threat to Mormank seems to be something warp based, so instruct our men to contact either someone from ordo malleus or the imperial guard and request some sanctioned psykers>>19724225someone suggested a laser eye, but we can use bolters to shoot people.I vote for either a standard bionic eye or something with a wider colour range(IR, UV etc.).
>>19724253Space marine helmets give us those abilities don't they?Or are we the "and we shall fear no helmet" type commander?
>>19724253Laser eye is more a backup / melee bonus item.Nothing better than being locked in melee with someone then melting their face without using your handsIf it comes down to it though we take better quality / utility over laser imo
>>19724246>>19724244Your journey to Nestorium is quick and without any complications. Fabricator General Regon greets you in his inner chambers, that are lavishly decorated.>Well, it seems you picked a wrong opponent there, my friend! Who was it? Khornate Berzerker? Chaos Sorcerer? Dark Eldar Wytch? Heh, don't tell me, I know it's classified... Well, but we can always find something better for you. Believe me, when we say that flesh is weak - we do not lie... Here's a list of my personal recomendations.1.Organic eye: (takes 6 months to grow), 5W2.Dark/Thermal Vision: 8W3. Las-Eye:(10 shots) 10W4. Bolt-eye:(1 bolt) 12W5. Evaluator eye:(+d10 tech use skills) 20W6. Sniper eye:(+d10 targeting) 25W7. Tracker Occulus:(+5 to perception for vision based tests) 25W8. Custom - ask what you want to install
>>19724334I think tracker would be the best.See what everyone else thinks though
>>19724334clarification - d10 bonuses are rolled EACH time separately, because they depend on weather conditions, type of situation, etc.pic related - neon light bionic
6. Sniper eye:(+d10 targeting) 25WVoting for this
After some reminders from IRC, I'll change my vote to tracker
>>19724334Evaluator eye!Also, show Regon the starmap we acquired, ask about the Tau pulse rifles.
Since we're here already and we have some money to spend, how about we pick up some equipment?I suggest buying a pair of rhinos and a power weapon or two.
>>19724366Does the perception bonus from tracker work with shooting? Or is that not affected by perception
>>19724382>>19724359Tracker Occulus it is then... Machine priests quickly and efficiently clean out your eye socket from the remnants of your original organ and install something better, something superior. Healing process takes over a month, but in the end you can see a lot better than you could earlier. Tracker Occulus shows you wind patterns in the area, you can zoom in to see the smallest details on the ground and you can even take photographic pictures. Finally, if you would wish so - this Occulus can be connected to orbital relay and you will be able to call down Orbital Artillery strikes with it.But there are downsides too. You are not advised to go underwater/high heat environments, any electromagnetic attacks will fry your eye and you are no longer sure whether that Eldar will like you - you are a lot uglier than you were before.What are your next orders?-832-
>>19724462We should get back to mormark, and then get our fleet to patrol the system and nearby unknown systems to find resources and enemies, some could also . We personally should start training our psyker powers with the book the Grey Knight gave us. We dont want our Librarian near us while we do that, send him to check in with the mormarkian Astropath choir, see if he can dust something off.
When on a forgeworld, acquire hightech stuff.So, some rhinos, ammunition, a landspeeder or two and some lascannons sound like a good start.
>>19724527...Some could also patrol the surface of the world, looking out for anything strange. Show presence, reinforce public morale...is what i was trying to write.
>>19724462Does Regon have any more shit for us?
>>19724455Perception and shooting are separate things, because aiming requires ballistic calibration, calculation of possible trajectories, etc. it doesn't need accurate data, just the target.Meanwhile Tracker Occulus is specialised to give you best possible data to the smallest detail, but it's no much use in targeting(unless you are making a sniper shot at someone a mile away, then I might be persuaded to add this bonus).>>19724392Interesting coordinates in Subsector Cryptus were added, but Regon doesn't know anything about how they can be related to STC.>I will order someone in the archives to check, but don't have much hopes. Oh, and thank you for your most exquisite gift! Those samples of xeno tech will help us to understa... To learn how to destroy them better. I have but two questions. From where did you get them? Tau space is in Ultima Segmentum! If they have colonies somewhere nearby, we must locate them in the name of science! And another thing... What would you like us to do with these... Heretical examples? You wouldn't think of using them against the Emperor's enemies, would you?
>>19724544>>19724552>Well, if you insist... roll d100 for persuasion
>>19724587>From where did you get them?From a human. The rest is classified. There should not be any tau colonies in this sector, or anywhere else outside of Ultima, as far as I know.>And another thing... What would you like us to do with these... Heretical examples? You wouldn't think of using them against the Emperor's enemies, would you?We were going to deliver them to you and have our techmarines take a loot at them.There is no point in using them since the Omnissiah has provided us with weapons of our own.

>Yes! It's impossible for them to have colonies here because of their underdeveloped warp travel! But these weapons, they are brand new, we tested them for radiation signature and they were made no earlier than 3 years ago... It's impossible that weapons such as these would travel so fast and so far from their place of origin! If you can - you must question that human! Someone is making them here, in Sector Deus...>>19724660He thinks for a moment.>To tell you the truth, at the moment we are making a party of 20 Rhinos for Praetorian Regiments of Larion Ursus. I think we could "delay" delivery by a few years, then you could take those 14 Rhinos we made up until now. if you would take them all, I could give them away for 100W, but if you want to buy less, it will be 10W each. Also we have 2 Thunderhawks to offer you, each 40W and a Predator tank(35W). Also another SHBT Retributor is in construction, it is currently being build under designation Object 304. Finishing it would cost about 150W.
>>19724766Let's go for three Rhinos, one of the thunderhawks and the predator."Thank you, Regon my friend, you must come to Mormark one day and we will share a drink"
We're taking 3 rhinos, a thunderhawk and a predator30+40+35 = 105 W
>>19724838>>19724766>Only if it's sacred machine oil or purest amasec on this side of Segmentum! We priests are supposed to have standarts!As soons as wealth changes hands, three brand new Rhinos, an impressive Predator and a mighty Thunderhawk gunship join your Chapter. Prinium looks at you as if you were Santa.>My lord! This is a great investment! These machines will bring us victory!
>>19724864Let's head back to Mormark, and on the way, if we have time (and enough security), let's practice the psy rituals from the Grey Knights book.See if we can relay the info about the guns being made in the sector to Faceless as well.
Time to say our goodbyes and head back for the monastery.Notify our intelligence division to look into those tau weapons and send a letter or something to faceless about it.
>>19724886I'd say we should be careful to practice only when our young Librarian is away from us. He would probably notice instantly that we are opening our mind to the Warp, and i dont know if we want him to know...

>>19725005>>19724993Everything is ready. You have reread every instruction a dozen times, you memorised every warning and prepared of anything that might go wrong. Finally, after weeks of preparation, you step into the circle of salt with nothing but the book, dagger and Imperial Aquila on your neck. You sit down and start reading rites from the book aloud, at first slowly, but you feel your lips spitting words out faster and faster, as if they were poison, trying to kill your mind. Finally, you feel, that you succeeded summoning the dark presence you need for this Ritual. You open your mouth:>Before the swollen gaze of the Dark Eye, do I stand>I hold for He who long ago sacrificed for man>I will yield no ground, I shall take no step back>In His name and for His will, I will never surrenderThe darkness around you is angry, it is hurt, but it's torment is like a sun after witer to you - you grow stronger and more confident in it's rays... You take the dagger and prepare to make yourself a Sanctioning Mark. What will it be?
Our sanctioning mark shall be a shield!
>>19725002>>19725072Wealth added, Heresy reduced.Now, regarding the Mark. There will be ways to change/upgrade it, but it is a permanent and important thing. It will give you a small bonus to certain types of psychic powers and might influence some events in game. You can choose any symbol for your Mark, but bear in mind, that it will have consequences.pic related

How about this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo34aqqzJgkYou continue chanting:>Pierce my flesh, break my bones, take my life>These matter not>In my sacrifice, ye of the Dark Gods shall know defeat>For even in Death shall we be triumphant in His nameYour dagger starts glowing with blue flame from the psychic energy you emanate. Where it touches your skin, an electric black mark appears and as you slowly move it, it starts to gain shape - a Raven in the star, and in Raven's pupil - a small ancient sand timepiece. Not Power. not Protection, Luck or Happiness, but Time and Fate are the things you chose for yourself. Terrible pain is ripping apart your head and blood boils, as you near the completion of the Rite. The last part is breaking the protective circle and defeating the dark powers that surround you. But you face a choice here:> Try to ward them off with prayers and only then leave circle> Leave circle and defeat them> Go full Grey Knight and allow them to possess you and then banish themNaturally, the harder the task, the better is the reward.

Yes, we always hated him, babbling fool. He will be first. You knock on his door.>Sir? What are you doing here in the middle of the night? I am still working on the...You slit Priniums throat before he can say anything else, grab him and hold him down. Techmarine is strong, even with his throat wide open he kicks around for a good minute, but it makes hiss blood only sweeter. Time to find another victim. You slide like a shadow through the halls of Aspera Dominus, then you hear someone coming and you turn around. It's Inirium, one of the Shadow Guards, men sworn to protect you. He looks at the blood on your mouth without a clue what's going on, but then you jump on him and snap his super-human spine in two, while holding him mouth to stop his screams... This tasks asked a lot of strength, but soon there will more of it, more blood, more ruin...

Join the Deathwatch as a Black Shield, until we're sure we are free of corruption and can control our new powers.In the meantime, appoint our best captain to the Chapter Master Role, and give him the best mission briefing ever.
Take our shiny new Thunderhawk, a handful of loyal marines, and set out to complete the mission knowing that you will never return to the chapter.Give the new CM the best advice you can in a note left behind.

A quest to end all quests, where we venture past 999.M41 and see what lies beyond.And now we lose Chapter Quest. It saddens me, but the dice gods are merciless. Preparing for conversion.

>>19726920> mostly not, please have two of your brothers taken care of, maybe we can still save them > keep a sad looking face
>>19726932Brethorius immediatelly turns to Renard:>Protect Chapter Master AT ALL COSTS! Extatius, have Klementhos to take care of the fallen. Trianon, what see you?Trianon touches his forehead:>Dark magic visited this place, but Chapter Master is unaffected, Emperor's grace surrounds him. He will be fine.Brethorius contacts Kronos through the vox:>Seal the ship! Battle stations! Arm the serfs! We are under attack until I say otherwise!Renard with Horim take you by your arms and lead you towards a bed to lie down.>Do you want anything, Father? We are so lucky that you were unhurt byt the assassin!
(Just to clarify, high rolls are bad, right?)
>>19726996Half an hour later Brethorius comes to you.>We have failed you, milord. It is gone. From now on we will keep Shadow Guard with you at all times. We have almost reached Mormark. What are your orders?
>>19727086Yes. Dark Heresy system - the more you roll, the worse. If you are a new anon, you can join us here. we are having quite a discussion. http://cbe005.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23RisingSons&server=irc.Rizon.net
rolled 82 = 82>>19727088Deploy all our troops to Mormark, keep the morale of the populace up. See if we can task our psykers and librarian in locating the source of the disturbances.
dice for the dice gods...
>>19727111This brother wishes he could join but unfortunately he is posting from a ps3.
>>19727117As soon as you reach Mormark, these orders are relayed to all of your captains. You are taken by your worried brothers to the Tombstone, Fortress-Monastery of your Chapter. In a few days Kerius Dermont, Lord Regent of Mormark himself, arrives to visit you. As he approaches your room, you hear how Brethorius in the corridor makes a remark:>Please understand us, our Chapter Master was recently in danger of assassination, he is now not speaking much, not much at all, even to us. I hope you will have better luck.Half a minute later Kerius comes in and greets you:>Astarte! Good to see you and know, that there is no blade in the universe that can take you! These are dark times, dark times indeed. Have you given thought to my letter? I haven't received your reply...
>>19727184>dermont my friend, i really wish i can help you but i have other pressing matters....it will determine our chapter and this sector destiny....so please, do understand my position, now if you excuse me...>bretorious, come with me for a while
>>19727167Well then, brother, I'll give you a brief overview of what's happening behind the scene - players split up into two camps on what to do - abandon the Chapter for the invasion and go solo(righteous thing) or keep silent and carry on(dark thing)?
>19727088We must confess to Brethonius that we have come into contact with this demon, and that it may strike again. If we are possessed, he is to 'take care' of us.Explain the importance of the preparation, and the affect of relinquishing power on the chapter's, and planet's morale.We must continue preparation, there can be no delay. We can do our soul-searching redemption later, there is work to be done!
>>19727214Kerius is speechless, but he bows his head in respect and leaves the room. On the way out Brethorius gives him "I told you" look. HE comes in and closes the door behind him.>Yes, lord? What will you have me do?
>>19727260Walk with me, my son. Explain to him that you feel strange, almost blind here. Have an actual father son talk about battle and the chapter. Ask his opinion on recent events and how he sees the future of the chapter.
>>19727260> tell him from the beginning what we have done and why, what are the reasons, tell him everything> so please, you are my only son who i trust the most...i believe i have freed from the demon, but we need to find a way to free myself from the wretched god....its up to you, brethorious, my son, your decision either hand me to the inquisition again, or you can help me makes this chapter survives the gret peril ahead> without me, it could lead to civil war, but seeing you have gone this far, i have no worry, no regrets
>>19727314>Walk with me, my son. Explain to him that you feel strange, almost blind here. Have an actual father son talk about battle and the chapter. Ask his opinion on recent events and how he sees the future of the chapter.I am worried, Chapter Master. The prophecy that you told us about might indeed happen, at least the omens are bad. I don't know whether we can weather the storm like this, Lord, Chapter is not ready for it. We are divided and we are young. The only serious campaign we fought in was Varda, and it was a disaster. We need to dig in and fight whatever comes out way with tooth and nail, then rebuild our numbers and continue onwards, to do our mission. We control less than 1/8 of this Sector, Emperor would not be proud of us if he would see how little we are doing...
>>19727370as expected of you brethorious, a good answer, now we need to find a way to cure this laughing god infestation...i have a debt to pay
rolled 37 = 37>>19727336Brethorius listens to you with silence, without a single interruption.[rolling for his thoughts]
rolled 32 = 32>>19727396Charisma roll succeeded.>All of this... You are my friend, not only officer. It makes sense what you say, but it is heresy, do you realise it? Heresy![He thinks some more]
rolled 20 = 20Dice gods are having fun again.>>19727540>I... I cannot turn you in. We should look for another way. Chapter needs you right now and if you don't stand like a cornerstone, we all shall fall... Prinium and Inirium were good marines, they would have understood this is for the greater good. We must prevail. And there is one more thing...[rolling WP this time]
>>19727564>>19727540>>19727396Ok, fuck it, I prepared to convert quest and here we go - dice gods decide to give three good rolls in a row after a dozen critical failures. Brethorius turns to you:>Heretic or not, I trust you with my life, Chapter Master. I will do as you command.
>>19727613Just. As. Planned.
time and time again, this quest just proves that we will have awesome tiemisuggest we call it a warp bro, super sleepy nowhttp://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/19724048/
>>19727613>Heretic or not, I trust you with my life, Chapter Master. I will do as you command.*sniff* We must not let him down! No more risking our shit with dark rituals! We're kicking ass like Space Marines should- with our combat skills!
>>19727396>>19727540>>19727564to all doubters : i fucking told you so, have faith, brothers!
