>Last time on The All Guardsmen Party:

Spot the Wonder Drone flashed upwards, sliced through the crackling green shield surround the Daemonthrope, and slammed into the thing's underbelly. As Spot's psi-suppressor, er, penetrated the creature's hide, it let out a roar of unfathomable pain and fury, its shield vanished, and the daemonid minions around us collapsed into goo. We all cheered again and watched, the inky black tendrils holding the Daemonthrope aloft twisted, flickered, and then… reappeared.

We stood there, waiting to see what would happen next, and then flinched when the Daemonthrope let out a roar and fired a bolt of green lightning at someone on the surface. Nubby swore, Twitch groaned, Fumbles started whimpering, and Tink asked if anyone could see what was happening to Spot. Doc remained calm though. The medic looked at the rest of us, and then in a stuffy voice (because he STILL had that damned scalpel in his face) said:

>So… unless someone has a better plan, I say we shoot it until we're out of ammo, and then run away if that doesn't work.

None of us did, of course, so we all gathered together, opened fire, and hoped like hell that the Daemonthrope didn't have much juice left in it. As we fired, we couldn't help but notice that only one person up on the surface was firing with us, and they weren't using a pulse weapon.

Up on the surface, Sarge pulled the pin on the Astartes-sized krak grenade he'd "borrowed" and hoped like hell this was going to end better than the last time someone had tried it...

The fight on the top of the facility had begun with the three Deathwatch marines charging forwards in an attempt to blitz the Daemonthrope. In the opinion of (possibly former) Interrogator Greg Sargent, this was a very stupid idea.

It wasn't that blitzing a Zoanthrope was a bad idea in and of itself. In fact if you look them up in the Tactica, they're defined as "Psychic Artillery" and the preferred methods for dealing with them are generally the same as other varieties of artillery. Ideally you just call in an airstrike, or some (preferably longer ranged) artillery of your own, but if that's not an option then you're going to want to get in close where their big guns can't easily get at you. Of course the tricky part is not getting blown to little pieces while you close the distance, but the Tactica has some good recommendations there too: If you're a Brave Soldier of the Imperium, then you're supposed to just sprint across the killing field, firing wildly and relying on your faith in the Emperor to protect you. If, on the other hand, you're a cowardly dog not fit to wear the Emperor's uniform, then you'll want to make use of cover and sneak around the flanks while all the Brave Soldiers get themselves killed.

So, given that Space Marines are the very definition of Brave Soldiers of the Imperium, (and were wearing enough power armor to survive that sort of foolishness) their choice of attack was tactically sound. Or it would have been, IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY FIGHTING A ZOANTHROPE.

Seriously, it wasn't some frail, slow-moving creature that relied on distance and minions to protect it from harm. IT. WAS. A. DAEMONHOST. You know, those things that can turn frail little cultists into nigh-indestructible killing machines capable of tearing tanks apart with their bare hands? What the Marines thought they were going to accomplish by getting closer to it was a mystery, especially since it was currently flying fifteen meters over the top of a deep crater.

Despite the temptation, Sarge and Aimy didn't stand around critiquing the Marines' choice of tactics. This was partially because the situation was too serious to waste time being petty and unhelpful, but mostly they just figured the Daemonthrope would handle do it for them. The two of them slowly advanced behind the Marines, placing aimed shots into the growing number of daemon-tyranid hybrids pouring out of the hole in reality the Daemonthrope was tearing, and waiting to see what was going to happen.

Surprisingly though, what happened was… nothing. The three Astartes charged in (well the Apothecary just jogged), spraying fire and fending off the odd daemonid, but the Daemonthrope just manifested a greenish-black shield and ignored them while it poured more and more juice into the widening warp-rift. Between shots, Sarge and Aimy snickered to themselves as the Marines reached the edge of the crater and then milled around trying to figure out how to respond to being dismissed as non-threats.

Of course the Deathwatch Marines didn't waste too much time standing around. The trio of superhuman warriors drew upon all their centuries of tactical knowledge, and came to the conclusion that they should try shooting the big psychic bug HARDER. As Guardsmen, Sarge and Aimy wholeheartedly approved of this decision, and concentrated on keeping the smaller bugs in check while the Space Marines poured a ludicrous number of bolt rounds into the shield.

Seriously, when I say ludicrous, I mean it. All three marines were firing their bolters on full-auto (the Heart-Marine was actually using his one handed while firing a Plasma Pistol with the other!), and they were reloading faster than seemed physically possible. How much ammo the marines had (or where in the Emperor's name they were keeping it all) was a bit of a mystery, but they Sarge and Aimy both swore that the trio managed to put upwards of two-hundred rounds into the Daemonthrope's shield before it popped.

Now this is where the Deathwatch Marines learned the real difference between a Zoanthrope and the unholy creature we'd hauled across the galaxy. When their barrage broke down the Daemonthrope's shield, it didn't fall over dead or try to wriggle away. No, all that a dozen bolt-rounds to the center of mass managed to do was make the thing angry, and daemonhosts can get very, very angry.

The only reason the Astartes weren't vaporized was their superhuman speed and the fact that, despite their initial choice of tactics, they DID have a bit of self-preservation instinct. When the Daemonthrope rounded on them, the three Marines scattered, barely avoiding a psychic tantrum that turned roughly fifty meters of facility roof into a warp-tainted mixture of rubble and molten slag. Sarge and Aimy watched the light show, noting the power of the attacks and the way bits of dead daemonid rose into the air to fill in the Daemonthrope's bolter-wounds, and congratulated themselves on their decision to stick to shooting the little bugs.

Eventually though, the Daemonthrope's tantrum ended and the bug turned back to its now-shrinking portal. It seemed to go pensive for a few seconds, and then with a flap of its wings, the bug entered the portal and its oppressive psychic presence vanished. Sarge and Aimy stayed in their cover waiting to see what horrible thing would happen next, but after a solid minute of nothing, they went back to picking off the daemonids.

A few minutes later the last of the bugs were dead, the Marines had clawed their way out of the rubble at the edge of the destroyed area, and everyone was gathered around the shrinking the warp-portal. As the hole finally disappeared with a little pop, Sarge sighed in relief, then froze as Grumpy-Marine said:

>Hmm, more power than I expected, but far less courage. That was almost too easy.

Aimy got as far as "YOU JUST HAD TO FUC-" before the nearby mountaintop exploded in green light.

The green light was followed by the familiar psychic screeching and the appearance of a rift in reality large enough to peek over the top of the mountain. Sarge sighed and facepalmed, while Aimy decided it was time to boost morale via friendly insults, specifically ones targeted at the Grumpy-Marine and "whatever retarded chapter of retards spawned your retarded ass." The black-and-white Space Marine didn't seem to take these completely innocent comments very well, but before anything could come of it both Sarge and Aimy were yanked off their feet.

The Apothecary and Heart-Marine tucked the two guardsmen under their arms like fussy children and began running up the mountain at a pace that could be described as "terrifying". Sarge, possibly because he was far less of an asshole, was carried facing forwards, which meant that he was able to watch as the mountaintop grew a layer of flesh-fungus and a tide of mutated gaunts poured over it. He briefly considered picking a few of the bugs off while the Apothecary ran, but gave up after an especially large jump jammed his carbine's scope halfway into his eye socket. Aimy just swore at the Heart-Marine and promised terrible vengeance for such undignified treatment.

The ride ended when the first of the Daemonids came into range. Sarge was placed on a boulder with a good view of the bug-covered slope, Aimy was unceremoniously dumped onto the ground, and the three Deathwatch Marines began advancing towards the glowing mountaintop.

Shoggy, question. Was the GM using errata or non-errata DW rules for the marines?

Once again, it was a matter of Sarge and Aimy providing covering fire while keeping their heads down, but this time the rough terrain and large number of hostiles meant the Astartes' attack was more of a slog than a blitz. Not that the lack of speed made it any less impressive, these ARE the Emperor's Angels of Death we're talking about. All three of the Deathwatch Marines collected more kills that Sarge while simultaneously dealing with enemy attacks and climbing a bloody mountain. If it weren't for the fact that Aimy's sniping skills, not to mention her techno-heretical armament, managed to keep her in the lead on points, Sarge might've had to admit that honest Guardsmen couldn't compete with genetically engineered supersoldiers.

Anyway, the advance to the top of the mountain went off with only two or three sketchy moments. The worst of which was when the Grumpy-Marine let himself get flanked by a bunch of mutated gaunts for some reason. I mean seriously, he just stood there like an idiot pawing at his belt, it was like he forgot how many grenades he had or something. Aimy had to pull off an absolutely amazing barrage of double-kills to keep his stupid ass bug-free.

Aside from that, the time when one of the larger Daemonids almost managed to sneak up on Aimy before Sarge noticed it, and the incident with the looser-than-expected boulder, the advance to the mountaintop went smoothly. Of course, you know what Murphy says about attacks that go really well…

Okay, well, technically what happened wasn't an ambush, so maybe the old adage isn't perfect, but the end result was about the same.

The top of the mountain was a smallish plateau with a bunch of sciency antennas on it, plus a growing rift in reality and an irritable Daemonthrope. The three Deathwatch Marines advanced right up to the edge of it, cleared out a last wave of gaunts, and then all three prepped grenades and vaulted up over the lip of the plateau. Neither Sarge or Aimy could see what happened next, but at least one of the grenades must have stuck its target, because the Daemonthrope let out a mind-rending screech of pain. Unfortunately, it also let out a blinding blast of green energy which shook the entire mountain, guardsmen included, like an abusive nanny.

Sarge wound up lying on his back, blinking and trying to remember what he'd been doing, and then flinched as something large flew a few meters over his head. He reflexively turned and watched as the object sailed a few dozen more meters, clipped a boulder, cartwheeled up in a short arc, landed with a crunching sound, and finally skidded to a halt. Sarge blinked again and idly wondered why the unidentified crashing object looked so familiar. Then his dazed brain kicked back into gear, put two and two together, got five, decided that was close enough, and signaled his mouth.

>HOLY SHIT IT'S RAINING SPACE MARINES!

Aimy, who was even more out of it than Sarge, moaned and crawled into cover underneath a nearby boulder. Not because she understood a single word of what Sarge had said, but because taking cover was the Guard-issued response to confusion and incoherent orders. She huddled there for a second, clutching her head and wondering why she'd ever left her regiment, and then registered what Sarge had said at about the same time as the dazed noncom realized it himself. Both of them jumped to their feet and ran downhill towards the crumpled form of the Marine formerly known as Grumpy.

Actually the "former" was premature, when Sarge reached the battered Marine he was still breathing and in possession of over three quarters of his appendages. It was hard to say whether the missing foot was due to the blast, the fall, or the pack of daemonic rippers that had started gnawing at the Astartes while Sarge was staggering around, but it's not like it really mattered. After some initial clearing, Aimy began picking off all nearby bugs, while Sarge propped the wounded Space Marine up against a cover-providing rock and tried to decide what to do next. His thought process was interrupted when the rock exploded.

For the second time in five minutes, Sarge found himself on his ass, wondering what the hell was going on. This time though, the sight of the Daemonthrope drifting down the mountainside shook him out of it. He staggered upright and analyzed his current situation with the speed of the truly desperate.

It was a complex tactical situation. Sarge was bleeding, slightly burned, and had at least one broken rib. The Space Marine was still unconscious, and was now slightly less than three-quarters-intact. Both of them had been flung a few meters down the scree slope, and were now at the top of a twenty-ish meter cliff. Friendlies-wise, Aimy wasn't anywhere to be seen, and neither were the other Deathwatch Marines. As for hostiles, all the little bugs in the area were dead, but the Daemonthrope appeared to focused on the wounded Marine, and was gathering greenish-black electricity for another attack. Finally, the only option for cover was a smallish pile of rocks a few meters away, which was way too far to drag a tonne of power-armored Space Marine.

It was a tricky situation. In fact it was the sort of tactical problem that a tribunal senior Inquisitors might spend an entire day and a half arguing over...

Sarge didn't have that sort of time though, so he responded to the complex tactical situation by pushing the Space Marine off the cliff.

Despite the apparent retardation of this plan, it worked. The wounded Space Marine flopped over the edge a bare second before the Daemonthrope's attack hit. Instead of being blown to pieces by a bolt of green lightning, the wounded Space Marine merely suffered a bone-shattering fall and downhill tumble. This was unquestionably a win, unfortunately Sarge wasn't in much condition to appreciate it, because it'd taken him just a little too long to shove the heavy Marine over the edge.

The blast caught Sarge in the back as he scrambled for cover, inflicting a few more shrapnel wounds and superficial burns in addition to knocking him prone. He struggled back to his feet as the Daemonthope screeched in rage and, deprived of its original target, turned its metal-covered face towards Sarge. The dazed noncom attempted to stagger the rest of the way into cover, realized he'd never make it in time, and raised his carbine instead. He got off only three shots before the Daemonthrope's eyes flared. An invisible force ripped the gun up and out of Sarge's hands, and then began inexorably pressing in on him from all directions…

It was at this point that Aimy decided it was time to stop sitting around waiting for the Marines to show up, and do something heroic. Over the last minute or two she'd picked herself up from where she'd been thrown, found a nice firing position, and watched the Daemonthrope's attack in a desperate attempt to discover some sort of weakness. Unfortunately, it seemed to lack any giant glowing weak points, and while it had initially sported some nasty-looking wounds on its front, he remains of several daemonids had risen up and filled in the holes in thoroughly disgusting fashion.

So, lacking any ideas for how to kill a continuously regenerating creature that shrugged off bolt-rounds and grenades, she settled for shooting it in the eye and hoping it was easily distracted.

The Daemonthrope screeched and released Sarge as the pulse-round punched through the metal plate welded to its face and put out its left eye. It then turned towards Aimy and then turned and caught a shot in its other eye. As Aimy had suspected neither shot did much to incapacitate the creature, but they sure as hell pissed it off.

The rock that the Markswoman had fired from exploded in a shower of semi-molten shrapnel, but by that point she'd already rebased. Aimy popped up from her new position, landed yet another headshot, and then scrambled backwards over a ridge of scree, where she paused for a second before picking out another good-looking rock. She scrambled downhill, keeping the small ridge between her and the enemy, until she reached the rock, where she readied her rifle for another shot. It was then, as Aimy rose up for her third attack, that she realized it'd had been really, really stupid to assume the Daemonthrope would keep hovering around a few meters above ground level while it chased her.

Aimy peeked out of cover to find the Daemonthrope a mere thirty meters above and in front of her, and with a corona of green electricity already gathered around it. The Markswoman reflexively flinched downwards, but it was already too late. There was a flash of green light, a blast of heat, and then… nothing.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of silence and darkness, there came the horribly, horribly familiar pain.

A couple hundred meters away, Sarge paused his search for his dropped carbine, and listened in confusion to what sounded like the bellowing of a stuck Grox. Then after a few seconds the incoherent screaming transitioned into a wail of: "WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE FUCKING FACE". Sarge gave up the search for his weapon, drew his laspistol, and started sprinting.

Fortunately, Sarge didn't get a chance to try attacking a daemonically possessed Tyranid psyker with nothing but a laspistol and his guard-issue adamantium balls. I mean, I'm totally sure it would've worked out, but the sheer awesomeness of his inevitable victory probably would've caused the universe to implode or something. So all in all, it was a very good thing that he only got three steps before the Deathwatch Marines finally returned from whatever tea party they'd been having.

Bolter fire erupted from somewhere lower down the mountain, and while it wasn't as perfectly-aimed as Aimy's shots had been, it was still enough to convince the big bug it had better things to do than finish off a slightly-overcooked guardswoman. Not having anything to prove to anyone, Sarge hunkered down behind a rock until the Daemonthrope had finished screeching in rage and launched itself towards the source of the fire, and then followed the sound of incoherent cursing (and also the smell of burned hair) to his markswoman.

It turned out that Sarge was actually the second person to reach Aimy: he arrived to find the Apothecary crouched over the still-smoldering markswoman, spraying her head with what could have either been syth-skin or fire-suppressant. Whatever it was though, judging by the way Aimy was squirming and swearing even louder, it stung like a sonofabitch.

Anyway, as Sarge arrived the Apothecary tucked Aimy under his arm (Sarge thought he remembered the Marine having two of those earlier, but wasn't quite sure) and turned to face him. The Marine started to bellow some sort of order, then paused and gave Sarge a look which managed to convey "Are you retarded?" despite being delivered through a helmet.

>Where is your weapon, Guardsman?

Sarge blinked, tried to think up a diplomatic response, and then decided that he was too sore and tired for this shit.

>Dunno, where is your arm, Marine?

After a VERY awkward silence the Apothecary sighed and began explaining the tactical situation.

In short, Jim had commed the Marines (ours were still jammed) and informed them the AA guns would be coming online soon. Heart-Marine was distracting the Daemonthrope and drawing it into a good position for all the guns to hit it, while the Apothecary was trying to get him some reinforcements. Unfortunately, the Apothecary had been disarmed (heh) and running on stimms, Grumpy-Marine's diagnostic cogitator was reporting massive trauma and something like fifty broken bones, and Aimy had been temporarily blinded. So Sarge was all there was and he'd LOST HIS BLOODY GUN.

Anyway, there was a bit of yelling, a bit of negotiation, a futile search for wherever Aimy had dropped her weapon, and just maybe a small amount of theft. In the end, Sarge left Aimy and the incredibly battered Grumpy-Marine to the Apothecary, and ran down the mountainside armed with a far-too-large bolter, and an oversized krak-grenade.

As Sarge quickly descended back down to the facility (and desperately tried to avoid faceplanting as he did so) the Heart-Marine was playing hide-and-shoot with the increasingly frustrated Daemonthrope. Sarge couldn't see much of the Marine, who was wildly dodging through the roof-top structures, but it was impossible to miss the lightning blasts, large-scale psychokinetic tantrums, and the occasional more daemonic attack that he was dodging. All-in-all, it looked like an absolutely suicidal fight to get involved in, especially given how poorly Sarge's own attempt to do that sort of thing had gone (his back was absolutely killing him). Still though, Sarge had to do something to help, so when he finally reached the facility's rooftop, he propped the oversized bolter up on a chest-high pipe like it was a heavy stubber.

Sarge planned out his escape path, took careful aim, fired… and completely missed.

By, like, thirty meters. It was pathetic.

In what would've been the most humiliating experience in his life if anyone else had been around to see it, Sarge proceeded to miss two more carefully aimed shots before giving up. He then switched the bolter over to automatic, and attempted to lay down some "ork-style" suppressive fire. The gun, which had doubtlessly been forged by some master artisan and performed flawlessly in centuries of combat, jammed on the second shot.

Swearing like only a noncom can, Sarge picked up the jammed bolter and threw it at the Daemonthrope. The heavy gun sailed a good ten meters below the Daemonthrope, and then bounced off a pipe and over the edge of the roof. When asked what happened to the bolter afterwards, Sarge told the Apothecary that the Daemonthrope had used its telekinetic powers to snatch it from his grip. (He didn't become aware that the rooftop's vid recorders had caught the whole shameful show, including his blatant lie, until far, far later.)

After spending a second cursing the stupidity of what he'd just done, Sarge drew his laspistol and finally scored a hit on the Daemonthrope. Unfortunately, laspistols aren't known for their ability to pierce daemonically-reinforced chitin, and the creature just ignored the pitiful attack as it continued trying to kill the Heart-Marine. Sarge swore some more, tried to draw a bead on one of the warp-fire filled eyeholes that Aimy had punched in the Daeomonthrope's faceplate, and then nearly had a heart attack as twenty-four anti-air guns opened fire from every direction.

Sadly, the hail of flak didn't immediately reduce the Deamonthrope to an airborne pile of daemonically-tainted chunky salsa. The creature took several hits, enough to kill anything that could really be called "alive" in the first place, but before was overwhelmed it managed to furl its wings into a sort of shield and drop into the mouth of the crater it'd originally exited the facility from. It didn't drop all the way down the crater though: once out of the AA turrets' line of sight, it spread its wings again and began regenerating its wounds.

Sarge swore at the creature's refusal to just die already, but noticed that it was lot more trouble healing itself than it had previously. He wasn't sure whether it was the lack of nearby Daemonids to cannibalize (the corpses had dissipated after the warp-rift had closed), or if the creature was FINALLY running out of juice, but either way it's regeneration was going slower. Unfortunately, it appeared to be countering for this difficulty by getting even more daemony: some of the wounds were filling in with eyeballs and tentacles instead of chiton, and the local area was getting awfully warpy.

As Sarge moved closer to the crater, in the vague hope that the shorter range would let him use his laspistol or grenade effectively, he crossed through patches of rapidly-growing mutated plants, chittering whispers, frost, and other lesser phenomena. Of course compared to the stuff he'd seen during the warp-voyage with the Daemonthrope, these phenomena were positively mundane. He soldiered through them without any problems more significant than one of the little biting bugs that the Daemonthrope loved so much getting partway up his pant leg before he squished it. Still though, it slowed him down a bit, which meant that only the Heart-Marine was there to keep pressure on the bug while it healed up.

Luckily, the Marine as a big boy who could handle himself, and only suffered a few non-fatal injuries during his wait.

So Sarge finally pushed through the last phenomena (a patch of snow and ice that was actually quite refreshing compared to the local scorching temperature) at about the point when Tink finished booting up Spot. He watched with same sense of triumph, then disappointment that the rest of us felt when the Wraithbone-armed drone impaled the Daemonthrope and the thing STILL DIDN'T DIE.

Just like the rest of us he (and the Heart-Marine) decided the only thing to do was keep attacking and hope that Spot was weakening the bug enough for regular weapons to finish the job. Sarge put his laspistol away, spent a good few seconds gauging the distance to the Daemonthrope and the weight of the Astartes-sized krak grenade, and then threw the explosive at the bug's back while it launched one if its green lightning bolts. The grenade flew in a perfect arc, hit the Daemothrope right between the base of its wings, failed to adhere properly, and dropped off...

Fortunately, especially for those of us standing UNDER the Daemonthrope and the grenade, Sarge had let the krak cook a little. It exploded about half a meter under the creature, and pretty much the entire lower quarter of the thing, plus a good chunk of its back, was instantly removed. It writhed in the air, spraying ichor and screeching, and for a second we all thought that between the blast and the small arms fire, we'd finally done it. Then we noticed the damage to Spot.

Down in the facility, Tink swore as Spot reported severe damage to its hover-unit. He desperately tried to use the drone's little manipulator-arm to grab the something, but wasn't fast enough. The drone sank away from where it had been pressed into the Daemonthrope's underbelly, until it was hanging by the, er, spearhead at the end of the Wraithbone psi-suppressor.

Sarge watched in alarm as the Daemonthrope's wings flared larger. Lacking any more useful ideas, he began firing his laspistol as fast as possible while screaming at the Heart-Marine on the opposite side of the crater to kill the thing before the drone fell off. The Astartes responded to these unhelpful instructions by pausing for a second, and then lowering his bolter. Seeing this, Sarge began to scream something impolite, but paused himself as the Space Marine suddenly exploded into a full sprint towards the Daemonthrope.

The yellow-shouldered Deathwatch Marine charged forward, simply ignoring a lightning blast which ripped a large chunk out of his side. He reached the edge of the crater where, with an echoing shout of "WE DIE IN GLORY!", he jumped and hit the Daemonthrope with a literal flying tackle. Then, with one arm and both legs wrapped around the creature, he reached down, ripped Spot loose, and then slammed the Tau drone spike-first into the Daemonthrope's metal-covered face. Repeatedly.

Now THAT was a sight to give us pause.

I mean, who wakes up in the morning expecting to see a Space Marine beat a daemon-possessed Tyranid psyker over the head with a Tau drone and a Wraithbone marital aid?

Seriously, it was single weirdest thing we'd ever seen, and believe you me, that is REALLY saying something.

All of us stopped firing and just watched as the Deathwatch Marine went at it like a giant, hate-fueled anthropomorphic jackhammer. Each blow resulted in a pained screech and a flickering of the Daemonthrope's wings which dropped both it and the Space Marine increasingly large distances. The Heart-Marine didn't let a little thing like gravity deter him though. He kept up his attack until finally, when they were both about sixty meters off the ground, an especially violent blow left Spot well and truly stuck, and the Daemonthrope's wings shrank to little black pinpricks.

We scrambled back as the pair of them slammed into ground, with the Space Marine on the bottom and with enough force to leave a power-armor shaped dent in the floor. Then after waiting a second to see if anything else would happen, Doc ran forward to check on the Space Marine, while Tink ran forward to check on Spot. The prognosis was grim in both cases, Doc was pretty sure that internal organs weren't supposed to be squeezing out through a wound in one's side, and Spot's jury-rigged battery unit burst into flames when Tink touched it. Even worse, when the battery caught fire, the Daemonthrope's wings flared to about the size of a chicken's and the gore that filled the room began flowing towards it.

Tink started running around trying to rig up a new power source, while the rest of us began screaming at each other about whether or not we should try to kick/stab/laspistol the Daemonthrope to death (everyone but Tink was out of ammo) before it regenerated and killed us all. We were so wrapped up in this that it wasn't until Fumbles mentally poked at us that we noticed the two servitors and a slightly oversized servo-skull that had entered the room.

As soon as we'd turned (and Twitch had been stopped from snap-shotting anything), the big Servo-skull began transmitting a rather nasal voice. It welcomed us to the lab, informed us we were over two months late delivering the Zoanthrope, and asked if we'd seen the Inquisitor's rosette anywhere, as he needed it for opening the rest of the stasis units and-

Doc (who STILL had the scalpel in his face) seized on the words "Zoanthrope", "my lab", and "stasis", and interrupted the skull. The medic, speaking quickly and rather incoherently, informed whoever was controlling the skull that if they wanted their damned Zoanthrope, we needed: a psi-suppressor equipped stasis unit, whatever parts Tink asked for, and another stasis unit to hold the Heart-Marine until we found the Apothecary. The skull rocked backwards, probably imitating its owner's shocked expression, and began to respond before Doc cut it off again with a shout of "NOW NOW NOW NOW".

This was enough to convince whoever owned the facility that we were serious: the servo-skull fell silent and zipped away. Less than a minute later one of those prison-cell cubes was carried through the hole in the wall by the giant man-beast we'd seen in the middle of the fight. It was followed by some servitors carrying another cube and a wide selection of parts.

With the help of the servitors and the giant (seriously, up close it seemed like a man-shaped bio-titan), the Daemonthrope was secured before its wings grew more than a meter long. The Wraithbone was hooked up to the cell's power supply, and since it was thoroughly embedded in Spot, the whole battered drone was taped to the ceiling just above the cell's stasis field. The Heart-Marine and all the organs Doc could find nearby (some probably weren't his) was put into stasis in time as well, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the servo-skull noticed the dead Eldar and started screaming at us, which pretty much set the tone for the next two days.

Well, that's actually getting a little ahead of things. At the time, we just put up with the ranting of the skull's owner (a man identifying himself as "Magos Smith" and the overseer of the facility), because he was the leader of the group of servitors and prisoners that had won the big melee in the warehouse. Having your own army, including a man-beast capable of flipping tanks one-handed, means you're "outspoken and eccentric", as opposed to "annoying and crazy".

Anyway, the Magos got tired of yelling at about the same time Doc finished patching up the rest of us and finally got around to removing the scalpel from his face. The tech-priest announced that he "needed to organize the packing" and would meet us on the surface, and then the oversized servo-skull zipped off as a servitor equipped with an anti-grav pallet drifted into the room. We rode up to the top of the crater in style (a cargo pallet stitched to the augmented husk of a lobotomized criminal is stylish, right?), and met Sarge at the lip. At about the same moment as we disembarked, Jim and the Adepts began climbing through the doors to the elevator shaft.

Jim was the first through the hole; he'd acquired a dozen servo-skulls during his adventure, as well as a few holes that were leaking blood and lubricant (Sarge winced and vowed to avoid Hannah for the next few weeks). Next came the Cogitator Adept, who looked like he'd licked an electrical outlet, and then the Xenologist Adept, or to be more precise, his corpse, was hefted through. Finally the Diplomacy Adept, who was completely fine, climbed out.

Doc immediately ran over to give aid, while Sarge surveyed the ragged group for a few seconds and then asked what had happened. Jim shrugged and just said "turret", and the Cogitator Adept mumbled something about feedback, and the Diplomacy Adept cheerfully announced that he'd shot the Xenologist on account of him being a traitor.

>Then the servo-skull noticed the dead Eldar and started screaming at us
THAT'S what he's screaming about? How about the inquisitor who died? How about a bunch of freaking Space Marines with broken ribs? How about the giant freaking hole in the roof of the base? How about the fact that the Zoanthrope is literally daemonically possessed? How about the fact they're two months late?
But the one thing he's REALLY angry about is the dead eldar who could've died from like a thousand valid reasons over there?
I kinda get the feeling GM was just still angry about her death. I mean, I get it, but that still seems like the weirdest straw to break the camel's back.

Neither are any of the coglasses he creeps on. If anything, an Eldar would be more humanlike, and likely more hot, than a blueberry.

It's a joke in the All Cogbro Party that the Emperor will have to help us if we run into Tink. One of our group has a robotic dog, and my Cogless Coglass has no externally-visible augmentations unless she wants to, at which point she can light up like a christmas tree, make her eyes glow, make patterns of lights glow and run down her skin, etc. Also, she's wearing a full set of Mechanicus-red Guard-issued Flak Armor, is nearly 7 feet tall, and has windex-blue hair.

I'm pretty sure that this is the guy who was running the facility as opposed to the Inquisitor and the deathwatch marines who were the ones investigating it. The inquisitor and space marines were irritating distractions impeding his work, and the hole in the roof was easily repairable. The eldar on the other hand was an extremely valuable specimen and one that he's going to have a hard time replacing. Damn right he's going to be pissed about losing such a specimen.

I am legitimately curious as to how many of the surviving characters made it through more than one battle or if they were wounded once and packed into a shuttle.

Twitch is afraid of orcs so that indicates that he somehow lived through both campaigns which to me is astounding.

No, we're still playing. In fact, our game last night was called early on account of a major medical emergency in my family.

I'm being a lazy tard of the ass about writing it up. Sorry. Gotta lotta shit going on.

Awhile ago, we wound up confronting Blue's most hated piece of machinery: Gantry cranes. Last few sessions, we had a couple of major "GODDAMNIT IVAN!" moments, too.

Problem is really that we've had a hard time writing it up. Not sure why, I'm not the writer, just one of the players.

Also, we've had all sorts of strange setbacks, including a sesh where we advanced a grand total of 20m and unleashed an UNSPEAKABLE EVIL without having access to a SAMURAI WARRIOR WIELDING A MAGIC SWORD.

Before Sarge could get his mind around what he'd just heard, Twitch announced that he'd known the dead adept was a traitor all along, and asked if he'd been working with the Daemonids or the Orks. The old Diplomat told him it was the Orks, suggested he go figure out what data the deceased might have passed to the vile xenos, and then patiently waited for Sarge to ask something less retarded.

After a painfully long wait, Sarge said he'd never seen the Xenologist Adept do anything traitor-y. The Diplomat pointed out that waiting to kill a traitor until AFTER they'd betrayed you would be horribly sloppy. Sarge nodded at this sage advice, asked how the diplomat had known the adept was a traitor, and immediately regretted the decision as the man launched into a long and detailed explanation. About half way through, Tink got bored and asked if the Diplomat was secretly an Inquisitor or something.

This remark cause the old Adept to give up on his explanation with a pained sigh. He spent a few seconds thinking and then declared that he was not an Inquisitor, it was far too athletic a profession for him. He was just a simple adept who'd been part of Oak's retinue since the man was an Interrogator. Of course, he said, this meant he'd been in the Inquisition since before our great-great-great grandfathers had been born, and despite it not being the Administratum, seniority did still count for something.

Essentially, he was Oak's trusted observer and knew how to Inquisit better than all of us put together, so we should shut up and trust him. Sarge announced that he was too tired to argue, and would worry about it later; Tink, Nubby, and even Twitch (who was flowcharting the Ork conspiracy all agreed. Doc asked if all that meant the Adept was supposed to be keeping us out of trouble, because if so, he'd been doing a terrible job of it. The Diplomat said he was actually pretty happy with our performance, which was pretty disturbing when we thought about it.

We advanced 20m and closed a door, then welded it shut. The door which was behind us, through which all possible retreat lay.

Further discussion on the subject of Adepts was called off by the arrival of the Apothecary and his patients. The Grumpy-Marine was looking especially ragged. In addition to a missing foot and forearm, he had enough broken bones and internal injuries to keep even a Space Marine on the bench for a few months. Also, the Apothecary said something about him having spinal damage due to a thirty meter fall directly onto his back. Sarge winced, but otherwise maintained his poker face.

Aimy was in slightly better shape. She was conscious, moderately lucid (she was swearing pretty creatively), could see again, and was moving under her own power despite a fair number shrapnel wounds and minor burns. Her head though, was a mass of sprayed-on synth-skin with eyeholes cut in it. Doc was pretty sure that a lot of the synth-skin was extraneus though, and wagered that it was "only" the skin from her eyebrows up that was going to need to be replaced.

Anyway, there was a fair bit of wincing when we saw Aimy, and Tink, ever the charmer, pointed out that she REALLY sucked at ducking. Twitch countered that she was actually pretty good at it, and she just had some sort of power that attracted energy attacks to the face. Nubby cheerfully pointed out that at least now she wouldn't have the skunk stripe, on account of how all of her hair would have to be regrown by the Hospitaller this time. Aimy reacted to these comments in the usual way.

While the three assholes tried to avoid getting murdered by an enraged markswoman (and Fumbles ran around trying to calm everyone down), Doc and Sarge brought the two Marines up to speed on how the Daemonthrope fight had ended and the status of the Heart-Marine.

My players themselves have made a fuckton of tables for the Ocurrence Border, most of which are collected on the ship's 1d4 page linked from the AGP page.

Bringing the Apothecary and his nearly-comatose battle-brother up to speed took a while, mostly because they kept asking for annoying little details and the Diplomat kept showing them a dataslate full of files he'd gotten from somewhere. Then things were delayed even further when the elevator was pried open by the giant man-thing, and the a tech-priest we assumed was the Magos (based on how he had the big servo-skull perched on his shoulder) stepped out.

As the Magos and his entourage came over, we all reacted in the usual semi-paranoid way, but Jim took it a step further and stretched his mechadendrites out towards the tech-priest and his skull. This elicited a screeching burst of feedback which made us all flinch, and then the Magos' skull sped over until it was in front of Jim's face and screeched "TRY THAT AGAIN BOY, AND I WILL MELT THAT PATHETIC ORGAN YOU CALL A BRAIN OUT YOUR EARS, AND REPURPOSE YOUR SHELL AS A JANITORIAL SERVITOR." The Enginseer went as pale as he could, turned around, and ran off to go check on the shuttle; his flock of servo-skulls sped towards the Magos, and then disappeared into the facility.

After that little show the Magos strolled up to the Diplomacy Adept, who (to our complete lack of surprise) greeted him warmly by name. The Magos responded by screaming at him about having asked for a Zoanthrope, not a daemon-tainted monstrosity. This ranting continued for several minutes, and also branched out to cover how even if the Zoanthrope had been untainted, all of the Magos' genestealers and cultists had been turned into Squigs. The Diplomat asked if they could be un-squigged, and was informed that it didn't work that way.

The yelling ended (at least for the time being) with the Magos promising to file a complaint with Oak. He then turned to Sarge, and asked where the squished Inquisitor was. A minute later the Magos' skull flew down into the facility with an Inquisitorial rosette hanging from its oversized mechadendrite.

Also any word on whether the cogbros will write up more stuff since some people were talking about it.

I love the Occurrence Border and want more stories about how shit goes horribly wrong and whether Ivan Ivanov is a warp entity that pulls vodka through the warp or if he secretly has a still on his body that distils liquor from warp phenomenon (which would explain why he has so much on the Occurrence Border).

To answer your question, Ivan actually owns a still. He had hypochondriac techpriest help build it under the assumption it would be used for industrial-grade cleaning materials.

>>46872276

>>46872380
But he was responsible for both assigning the supply officer that flagged that purchase to go buy it, AND authorising the actual purchase knowing full well that it was a few inches away from being a hulk... Not to mention screwing up/rushing the refit to the point where the lance battery can fire once and only once. Ever.

That said: It's entirely possible to blame Nubby for this. All of this. Somehow.

There was an awkward moment after the skull departed where we all stared at the Magos, waiting for him to continue yelling or whatever. The Diplomacy Adept found this hilarious for some reason, and after a few seconds told us not to worry about it and went back to talking to the Apothecary about files, records, political cabals, and other such stuff we had no interest in.

This continued a while, during which most of us wandered off to find some shade/water/smokes/etc. Sarge stayed put though, and after a few minutes he signaled the rest of us to return. We listed as the Apothecary announced that he'd suspected the Inquisitor hadn't been following proper disposal and investigative procedures, but the date we'd provided proved it. He was certain that the small room at the bottom of the crater was some sort of private cache, where especially valuable artifacts and samples were being stored for use by the Inquisitor. This was a grievous breach of responsibility, bordering on the heretical even, given the nature of the evidence being stolen. The Apothecary said he now believed that the mission had always been more about theft than investigation, which was probably why the Inquisitor had been so unhappy when the Deathwatch team had been assigned to "assist" him.

The Diplomat smiled at this and, as if prodding a promising pupil, asked the Space Marine what he was going to do next. The Apothecary thought for a few seconds and then declared that his assignment had been to assist the Inquisitor in his investigation, not to perform it on his behalf after he'd gotten himself killed. This set off some sort of objection from the half-comatose Grumpy-Marine, but he was pretty incoherent, and the Apothecary just tranqued him and continued.

>>46873356
Marines Errant
>>
>>46873310

To sum up what was, in our humble opinion, a bunch of overly-dramatic barracks lawyering: the Deathwatch Marines decided (with the occasional suggestion from the Diplomacy Adept) that they were going to just pack up their shit and go home. They would take command of the Inquisitor's ship (when it got back from futilely trying to send Astropathic messages) and any of his surviving retinue, and haul it all back to some Deathwatch Fortress or other, where THEIR superiors could sort things out.

So basically: "Yeah, you guys are probably in the right here, but we don't want to get involved. We're going to creatively interpret our orders and just leave you here with your questionably-legal research facility, conspiracies and counter-conspiracies, and assorted other bullshit. We'll send a new investigation over to arrest you in a few weeks, try not to accidentally pack up all your shit and leave before they arrive."

It was a very "Screw the Brass" response, and in that moment we all felt a very deep sense of camaraderie with the Marines. We didn't say anything though, because even the most reasonable Space Marine would probably take offense at being congratulated on how "Guard" their decisionmaking had been.

Anyway, the Deathwatch wasn't going to start any fights with us, and as an added bonus, the Apothecary said he'd be taking Gravis off our hands. The Deathwatch would handle the rest of his treatment, and get both him and the Emperor's Scythes that we'd left stranded back to their chapter. Doc and Sarge both practically collapsed in relief. (And so did Nubby when the Marines just accepted the list of "Wargear lost due to enemy action")

>>
>>46873310
Ah, so Oak ISN'T a traitor -- or at least the Inquisitor who claimed he is was just an asshole trying to steal stuff... but even a stopped clock is right twice a day, and given his secretivity about certain things I think it's still possible Oak is (even) more radical than he seems.

I mean, he kept the AGP on as acolytes even after their total incompetence was obvious. He can't be that stupid, he must have an ulterior motive.

(DUN DUN DUNNNN!)
>>
>>46873510
Eh at least they get the job done.
>>
>>46873510
>AGP
>Total incompetence

They actually were probably some of the best acolytes Oak has at sorting shit out and making sure rookie interrogators didn't ruin everything or weren't heretics/psykers/too dumb to live.
Making them a real inquisitorial cell was probably something like the best decision he could have made.
>>
>>46873356
According to fluff Marines Errant. They got their main source of geneseed swiped and it's now no fucks given. A couple of "companies" have been sent out with Rogue Traders on contract.

They even keep the too-dumb-to-live ones alive oftener than not. The Rupert and the asshole from Guardsmen and Pilgrims spring to mind.
>>
>>46873510
>>46873553
I think Oak is taking a "right man in the wrong place" approach with the AGP. He knows they're going to Guardsman their way through things and that's the brilliance of them
>>
>>46873636
I also find it funny that the most competent (and I use that term loosely, very loosely) interrogator before Sarge also came from the guard, albeit the officer corps.

You mean Alfred, the Rupert's attache?

Not so bad, he was by far their best interrogator, barring Sarge himself of course.
>>
>>46873795
Aside from being the LITERAL incarnation of that nickname?
>>
>>46873693
The Rupert isn't that bad. He's shown to be actually quite competent as a General, Politician, Fighter and is an all around decent guy.

His issue is that he's mostly competent as a Gentleman General, lacking some of the more subtle talents needed for an Inquisitor, but then that's what you have competent subordinates for.

And anyhow, he's acknowledged his own lack of abilities, turned down a promotion just to improve himself. That makes him better than the majority of people.

Once the Marines had wandered off, the Diplomacy Adept breathed a sigh of relief, and announced that it was probably time for us to know what was really going on. There was a unanimous sarcastic response about how that would be a nice change, which the old man ignored as he explained that he could only give us the basic story. Apparently the question of "whether to burden us with the details" was something best left up to the Inquisitor that Oak was assigning us to for our next mission. We all took note of that part, but kept quiet since the Adept was finally telling us stuff we needed to know.

The Adept started talking about all sorts of political stuff, with factions, and conspiracies, and schools of thought, and other shit, then paused when Tink asked whether "Thorianism" meant that the Inquisitor was really fond of thunder-hammers. The Diplomat dialed the level of detail down a little bit, and tried again. After three more attempts, all of which ended in spectacular confusion, the old Adept took a seat on a pipe and restarted one last time.

>Look, ever since Oak first became and Inquisitor, he's been struggling against an enemy inside the Inquisition. We don't, or at least I don't, know exactly who these people are, but we call them and their minions the Sus-naevum Conspiracy, after the name of the school they tried to build. No, not "Sues-Neigh-Vroom", it's High Gothic. Please stop trying just call them The Conspiracy...

>Okay, this obviously isn't getting through to you. Let's try this again with visual aids. You see this sock that I'm drawing an =][= on?
>>
>>46873979

Hi, I am a shadowy group of Inquisitors who have fallen under the influence of chaos, you can call me The Conspiracy

>Hello, I am Inquisitor Quercus, but you can call me Oak.

Hahahaha, we are going to use Inquisitorial resources to create a successor to the Cognitae, which was and "evil super heretic school for bad people".

>An evil Inquisitorial school you say? I am going to stop you, then take your plan and use it to make a good Inquisitorial School. TAKE THAT!

CURSES! You and your retinue of brave, intelligent, and handsome individuals have foiled our evil plot! We will get you for this Oak, and take the school back for ourselves!

>Not if I get you first! TAKE THAT, AGAIN!

Ha, that was only one of our useless minions, we're far too evil and sneaky for you to ever catch us for real!

>No one is "too evil and sneaky" for me to catch! I'll track you down, even if it takes me three hundred years!

At this point Nubby interrupted to ask if Oak was really three hundred, and if that was the case why did he look all young and normal while the Adept look like little old raisin-man. The Adept put the sock puppets down with a sigh, and said that Magos Smith helped with that.

Before anyone else could ask pedantic questions, the servo-skull returned and both the Magos and his giant man-beast started moving again. They both strolled over the elevator and retrieved a mobile stasis-unit that matched the one we'd seen in the cell we'd crammed the Daemonthrope into. As he brought it over towards us, the Diplomacy Adept announced that we could get the rest of our information from Inquisitor Sciscitat. There was a brief period of confusion until the Adept explained that Sciscitat had been Oak's liaison to the Magos, not the Inquisitor who'd been compressed into a ball of gore.

Anyway, the Adept claimed that Oak had sent a message to the base saying we should be assigned to this Inquisitor after our delivery. Sarge looked at the orders and acknowledged that they looked pretty official, but didn't actually have any clue if it was real or not.

The stasis unit deactivated and the Inquisitor slowly sat up. He scanned the area, and then his eyes came to rest on Sarge. Realization hit them both at the same time.

>Oh, not YOU again.

Aimy, Twitch, the Adepts, and the Magos all watched in confusion as the rest of us alternately groaned, swore, and cursed ourselves for not remember that "Sciscitat" had been the name of the second Interrogator we'd ever been assigned to…

And that's it for this part!

Sorry if it's awkward, I pushed a little of the talking off for the next bit because it was just hard to fit in. So a bit more loreing at the start of the next half-chapter before things get rolling.

I'll be around till the thread dies if you got questions, otherwise hit my email up or start a thread tomorrow or something.

I'm not going to try to predict when the next half-chapter will be. I'd say 3ish weeks, but can't promise that house and work shit won't interfere.

Next chapter is the return of the x,y,z, and maybe the rest of the alphabet chapter. You've been warned.

Bwahahaha, lovely. That interrogator was the one that got Heavy killed right? The guy who thought they were completely incompetent and was just in love with himself. Well then, this should be fun.

Also, I'm still suspicious that this diplomat isn't telling us everything. If he really is a loyal comrade of Oak and is privy to all these secrets, a member of his inner-circle, why was he allowed to be shipped off with the AGP? Why didn't he even get access to that youth treatment. Something smells off here.

DM hands them Only War books and welcomes them to battlefield
>>
>>46874469

So let me get this straight...

Squished-Inquisitor guy was in the conspiracy. He had a warpship.

His warpship carried "Dude Where's My Psycher"-Interrogator-now-Inquisitor and his cogitator-packed smaller ship to this facility.

At some point Squished-guy stuffed Tech-guy into a stasis unit.

Squished-guy and the conspiracy are trying to fuck over Oak, so he branded him a false Inquisitor so he could fuck over the AGP and steal stuff from the lab.

The lab is owned by Magos Smith, who hopefully was unaware that Tech-guy had been incapacitated. His lab has a bunch of toys and actually wanted the Zoanthrope. And apparently he was willing to tolerate Squished-guy, at least until he tried to steal a bunch of shit.

And Sarge has neutronium balls for sassing a Space Marine.

They're pretty competent but really unsubtle and not really all that "inquisitive".
It's not like they purposefully devolve any situation to a gunfight; they actually actively avoid those. It's just that in many cases they're not good enough at investigative stuff to do it in a way that doesn't lead to a gunfight. Then again, they occasionally can do diplomacy too (the whole incident with Eldar cooperation was technically full-fledged Diplomacy, and they had almost not help from an Adept there). Also, it can be compensated for with good support, and they work some insane feats on really low resources (their greatest strength, really) once you point them in the right relative direction.
Also, Oak must've noticed that, because most of their missions don't really require much subtlety, besides not being suicidal, which they can do. And he skimps on equipment all the time (OCCURENCE BORDER).

>>
>>46874589

More like this:

The Magos ran the Facility, and tech-guy + his ship + his retinue were there as a liaison.

Squished guy (who is probably evil) shows up with an entire light-cruiser, and says everyone is under arrest for heresy.

EVERYONE is put into stasis cells (except Magos, because he's tricky). Tech-guy's ship is locked down and stored in the light-cruiser, because it wouldn't fit in the evidence warehouse anyway.

Squished guy goes through the motions of heresy investigation while stealing a few things for nefarious purposes.

AGP HAPPENS

>>46874805

Also makes sense. Thanks!

What's Squished-guy's name? Inquisitor Horcrux or something?
>>
>>46874589
>>46874805
And all this foiled by the fact that the guy seriously didn't expect the Tyranid they got to him to be daemonically possessed. Otherwise he would have been completely successful too.
Perhaps they should say thanks to the demon guy if they ever are unlucky enough to meet him again somehow.
>>
>>46874747
I saw that before I posted, but figured it was good for some laughs. You're probably right, but I'll likely go fight the gothic war instead.

>>46874768
Yeah, but it also removes you from politics as well at some level. You'd do it to an overly successful Guard general for example, to stop him deciding to set up his own empire. Or just because he was in your way politically.

Sort of similar to offering someone an ambassadorship or unimportant cabinet post to get them out of the House or Senate in the States.

>>46874914

So you guys assumed the Squished-guy was "Sciscitat" when you landed at the end of Tyranid Delivery Experts. But he wasn't, and you didn't remember that it was the name of someone you'd worked for before until he got out of the stasis unit.

Will we end up finding out what happened to the Captain and the Occurrence Border during all this in the next chapter?

Fantastic. Thanks for some epic stories man. In all seriousness, you and a few other writefags have gotten me interested in tabtletops. I'm still looking for a group but you're certainly inspired me.

Technically 1.5 left, but you might as well call it 3, since I'll wind up inevitably splitting the next chapter.

After the end, I don't know. I do intend to keep writing stuff, and we'll be playing again in the summer, but I don't know whether I'll do another big series, or try to go back and polish AGP into something presentable, or what.

No matter what though, I'll always be lurking on tg.
