What would you be referring to?

>>2736056
Quite simply, you will leave Catalina to her work, if I win the game we are playing, and you get her if I lose the game we are playing.

I have had quite enough of your Brunhilde’s antics.

Also, stop playing chess. It’s clearly not why you’re here. I expected you to work that out.

Nope

>>2736064
And what game are we to be playing

>>2736122
The goblets on the table Jaan.

>>2736129
I do not understand what game that is. So you would obviously have the advantage here

>>2736144
One of them is poisoned you utter moron.

Refuse to drink either and you concede the challenge, meaning that you keep your slave firmly away from mine and forever swear to not try and steal my property. Drink and die and I win, clearly
If you drink and I die, you obviously get Catalina.

You can drink from either goblet by the way, and we drink at the same time.

So go on, make your choice

>>2736157
this is not any terms i have agreed to

and you do not have the power to impose these terms on me

> He smiles

>>2736392
Oh, sure, you might say that.

I doubt the others will see it like that. Besides, if you truly believe so, why are you still here?

Play the game or give up. Your choice

>>2736407
I’m still here because i have no reason to leave

and what others?

your fellow tricksters they i have no care for and i have not accepted your challenge so I can leave without consequence

>>2736418
My fellow tricksters?

Oh no, nothing so crude.

It’s not just us that hate cowards you know.

You seen Jaan, what you have in front of you is an opportunity to get exactly what you and Brunhilde want. All you have to do is win the game.

That is, if you have worked out what the game is yet.

Jaan.

What the fuck was that.

I’m genuinely confused.

Why did you pour one of the goblets into another one of the goblets. Why did you think that would work. What the fuck are you doing?

On the plus side there is a sizable population of khornates

and she hit him a number of times on the head with her tongue

>>2736729
I disagree.
I put poison in front of you and gave you the option to drink it.

That is not attempted poisoning

>>2736735
that is a difference of opinion

> he smiles wide

>>2736747
Then you took one of the goblets of poisoned wine and poured it into the other goblet, ruining the chess set and the table

>>2736729
>>2736735
Might I suggest a more accurate battle of wills? A simple game, you make the agreement and the first to make a violent gesture towards the other looses. You trade insults and jokes as you carry on your standard business. The presence and interference of a third party are no excuse, and it's even encouraged to utilize this additional antagonization.
>>2736735
What you did was insult the intelligence of everyone involved with a childish game of chance. Either it's a base 50/50 or the game is rigged in your favor. There is nothing to be determined by the assault on gentile discord that you presented as a game of wits.

>>2736749
“...Operator 7, what chess set did you use. Was it a personal set?”

>>2736723
>>2736726
This is acceptable. Perhaps I shall join you after all.

>>2736752
And you.

Don’t pretend you weren’t with Jaan. There is literally no reason for you to have been there. You had no way of knowing unless told and you already understood the situation before having to ask about it.
>>2736753
Yes.

Wonderful, come inside and find a man, well an astartes, named Alpharius, he's out..."glorious leader"

i may inform you shitbag she was not with me

Could you lead me to him? I trust you the most as of now, as I think you are not a human.

>>2736762
I saw two overfilled wine glasses and saw were one individual tried pouring it from one glass to another. Either it's a classic game of chance, of an odd coincidence. As for why I was there, I frequently wander, where I wind up is no one's business but chance.

>>2736770
That’s a girl?

>>2736775
Can you explain that to me by the way?
I’m still genuinely confused at the wine pouring.

I am lead to believe that you are the leader of this group. Is this correct?

>The pentagram with the mark of khorne located on Gorthon’s forehead glows a dim red.

>>2736793
“Yes, please do.”

>>2736794
Slaaneshi excess is beyond any reasoning, either that or he wanted to mix both wines, were they the same or different kinds?

>>2736778
Most wine glasses are large enough to fit several servings of wine. To fill one up more than halfway is both rude and foolish.

>>2736782
Hmm, oh, may I joi-
>She looks down at the multiple bullet wounds in her abdomen.

>>2736818
Who are you?

>>2736822
Why would anyone swirl wine?

>>2736818
I too, heard gunfire man-thing. I worked out however that it was due to petty human insolence.

>>2736825
Absolutely polite. To enjoy it properly is what I was concerned about.

>>2736817
so you say they were both poisoned

> he smiles

so my approach was the correct one

>>2736831
Allow it to breath, it improves the flavor.

“Your squabbles are annoying and shameful. We are beginning the mission. Delilah, you will bring yourself and five of your best men. Jaan, you will do the same. Operator Seven, if you are in fighting condition you will do likewise, as will Barabass and Sparax.”

“Cogran, you will bring troops and some armor there on foot and wait for my signal when we take control of the walls; you will move in with the regiment to finialize our grip there once we have a sufficient beachhead.”

"Because it is an apt description."

>>2736793

Brunhilde was still in Jaan's room, at the moment she was taking a nap right where Jaan last saw her. One could guess about what she was dreaming about, but they didn't guess that she was dreaming of her and Catalina walking side by side inside a entire imperial church being burned as they walked with sevens tied to the pillers and being burned to a crisp by the inferno they would be wrong.

This is acceptable.

>>2736957
"How much explosive ordinance will we need, sir?"

>>2736893

After a bit, Brunhilde would finally wake up before listening to the message and starting to head off, looking for Jaan and the others.

>>2736978
>>2736977
"Perhaps. You seem like a pretty interesting guy. Just try to keep the crazed murder away from me."

It wouldn't take long for her to get to the war room, where she would simply go behind Jaan and stay quiet, waiting for the order to head out and do something. She wondered how long until Catalina would be her's, or an opportunity to make Seven disappear or accidentally get friendly fired would arrive.

Brunhilde seeing this, would get into the Valkrye she was meant to be flying. She was a bit disappointed that she had to return to base once she dropped everyone off, but Catalina would be at the base while seven was in combat, at least as far as she knew, so she would have a chance to do plenty of things with her.

I will fight every man-thing that gets in my way.

Hes going to kick my ass if im dead
Who will replace me?

"Either that or they're planning on doing something else here and are preparing to defend themselves. Either way, I propose we interrogate and then dispose of them."

Sounds like it would work, although what information could we possibly need from them?

>>2739217
as an infiltration force it would be a good strategic decision to acquire local forces to support our operations and increase our effectiveness when the battle commences

>>2739221

> Jaan looks at him

that is a very good question asked slightly to late as the pickup just left

>>2739225
You will need to discuss it with Alpharius once we get back

>>2739221
"Good question. I have no answer. Just roll with it."

>>2739225
"That's pretty obvious, but these guys are literally worth nothing, maybe some meat shields at most. We can find better. And hey, if you want 'em so bad, wait until their friends come. If you can convince them before the khornates murder them, then that'll be great."

>>2739237
They are convicts and hardened criminals, some of them anyways, and we are in need of swlling our ranks

>>2739219
>The downed man is also reduced to chunks

>>2739234

"I guess, i'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I disputed that, eh Sort?"

>The man nods frantically.

"Regardless, all we can do now is wait for the rest of them. Or go hunt whatever was scurrying about earlier. That sounds fun too."

>>2739255
i would want to establish some knowledge of the area before moving out

was there not some maps upstairs?

>>2739255
Some of them are, likely ones who run the place, others will make do as a fodder

>Outside, a vehicle pulls up. Some type of treaded vehicle with a large open container on the back, likely for transporting ore. 4 men with shotguns jump out. They’re wearing orange jumpsuits and red bandanas like the men Varro just killed

"Or we can just do that. That's also an option."

>Pyrrhus sighs and adjusts his gas mask before grabbing all the visible grenades strapped to him and placing them in his satchel, then standing next to Jaan.

>>2739291
the plan is to aim guns at them when they enter forcing them to listen to us so we can convince them to help us or take them prisoner if they refuse to cooperate
