Approach brute silently. Steal Canteen en route. Put Shuripult to the back of his dome and say "Don't move or speak, or I'll taint the pond with your brains." Or something cool like that.

>>3454966
dome = head, in case your jive is a little rusty.

>>3454957
USE THE HOOK. See if you can fish for the canteen with the hook on the rope while still pointing the pistol at him. Getting that close to a marine, even a scout, doesn't seem wise.

Also request that if anyone saved the first thread in any way they post it somehow.

>>3454997
This.

Unless the grapple makes a lot of noise, in that case fuck it.

>>3454997
Elfdar = -2str, -2con
Female = -4str

Os... Female Elfdar = -6str, -2con?

>>3455014
Exactly. That is why we should keep our -6str out of arms reach.

>>3454966
AHAHAHAHA THE CANTEEN IS YOURS SWEET VICTORY.

The brute hasn't even grunted. You don't know if it's just a really heavy sleeper or not, but the thought of water is making you slightly mad.

>>3454997
Don't forget, we are stealthy rangers... So stealthy... We're like Naked/Solid Snake, only... Female... With pointy ears... Needs a Codec scene later.... Maybe once we team up with the Marine, we can have a Codec scene...

>>3455108
Fall back to safety. Remove mask and drink from canteen. Don't take our eyes off the brute! Once we have our full, pocket canteen... Then think about best course of action to save 1000 Eldar lives...

>>3455108
Attempt to kill him and make a will save against love blooming.

>>3455134
Your extremely pointy senses notices that the brute is stirring.

>>3455154
Love can't bloom! Friendship, however, I'm willing to talk about.

>>3455183
Get the fuck out of there as fast as our spindly elfdar legs can carry us.

>>3455183
Oh shi-!

Get the drop on that motherfucker! Shuripult out, fire a warning shot, near his head! Tell him to not move!

>>3455183
Leg it like Doomrider.

DUDE! He's got blood on his lips! He's probably injured... Take advantage of this! He can negotiate! His cooperation in exchange for a nourishment pill!

Some SERIOUSLY unhealthy sounds are coming from the brute, and it's making quite the ruckus..

>>3455241
I see nothing that makes me want to run away less.

Observe from a distance. A long distance. Through the rifle scope.

>>3455241
Leg it like Doomrider rolled a one.

>>3455241
OH SHIT! Pull out Shuripult! Does it have a scope? Let's observe through the Shuripult's optics!

>>3455241
Quick! Rape him before he can rape us!

>>3455241
approach it, SLOWLY with schoripult drawn
and the pistol for good measure

>>3455286
Isn't the shuripult our pistol? I'm confused! OKAY! NO MORE ELFDAR TERMINOLOGY! PISTOL = PISTOL! RIFLE = RIFLE!

Also, there's SOMETHING clawing its way out of his face..... Probably a cousin of that worm thing we picked up earlier...

>>3455302
better watch it with the pistol drawn

>>3455250
>>3455266
Having retreated for no.. Clear reason back to the treeline, you line up your pistol and observe throug the weapons' optics.

Looks normal.

Still just as you found it.

>>3455343
>no clear reason
Something apparently killed a mehreen and is about to pop out of his FACE. That is a clear reason to run.

Drink the water and wait for something to happen.

>>3455356
See if we can get a better view of things!

>>3455360

Oooh. Now you see it.

>>3455396
Open fire wildly! Kill everything!

>>3455360
We (the Ranger) cannot see that from where he is standing.

>>3455396
That's a chest burster! Kill it! Kill it quickly and without mercy! Then loot corpse.

What are the chances that he was injured, and went "I WILL HOLD THEM OFF" towards the 'Nids and sat himself on some explosives?

Shoot it in the head a couple of times, just to be sure.

>>3455396
... better dump that canteen. Shit might be contagious.

>>3455432
It had a cap on it. It's still good.

>>3455426
Then where are the other 'Nids? 'Nids are like Guardsman! Unless it's a Lictor, they never like to be by themselves!

>>3455456

Noted.

Keep an eye on that wormey cute sod we picked up, and the giant "ohgodfuckwhatthehellnojesus" 'Nid thats coming out of the small xeno.

>>3455481
I think the infection it has will stop it from becoming controlled by the Hivemind... At least, I hope it does...

Kill it with your fancy eldar bullshit.

This is seriously starting to look bad.

And you're grossed out beyond belief.

>>3455528
[Argh, the trip keeps dropping off. Either that, or I forget the image.]

>>3455528
Assuming >>3455426 had a point, shoot the box.

If it doesn't work, shoot the thing... wherever it looks like it aught to be shot.

>>3455528
Oh god, shoot it. Quickly! As fast as you can!

>>3455528
Blood Angel/Nid hybrid. Doesn't look too good. Maybe we should try bribing it with the nourishment pills?

>>3455605
what if it isn't a snapse creature?
if you approach it then you'll be deader than the warp in necronland

No matter what you say, the character will not open fire.

... You're not so sure your silly pistol is going to do shit anymore.

>>3455628
[Sorry for having so shitty drawings. Wanted to have this sequence done as fast as possible.
>>3455627
Oh, [cutscene], I guess? 'Sorta wanted to copy RQ as little as possible. Anyway, character interraction is possible again.]

>>3455644
RQ?

>>3455628
Hide! Hopefully it hasn't notice us! Wait, and see what happens!

>>3455650
[Ruby Quest. Weaver wrote [Cutscene] whenever he had a short, non-interractive sequence. I'll use that aswell from now on.]

>>3455644
Oh... lol Sorry...

No worries. Let's see what happens, and if that thing goes away, let's check on our worm friend.

Use the rifle to shoot the dart then load with shuriken ammo.

Quick, run back to your worm-creature friend and toss'im at the nid.

Maybe it's the mother.

>>3455548
don't shoot the box, it might contain valuables... deal with the OMGWTFBBQ critter, then, if the marine is still on top, hook on (or into) the grappling hook the marine (lol, grammar), pull off box (from 50 feet away), then, assuming the box is intact, think of some clever system to open the box, also from 50 feet away.

Run like fuck

>>3455661
>Hide!
From my viewpoint it seems as if that 'Nid is staring right at us. Hiding doesn't seem to be a valid option, and neither does running. As far as I see, the only thing we can do is try to shoot it at the weak spot.

>>3455688
From my point of view, it looks like it's busy eating the Marine...

>>3455688
>weak spot

Your "silly pistol" actually shoots several hundred small incredibly sharp metal shuriken discs a second.

Just start the dakka already.

>>3455701
Let's try the stealthy approach!

Remember, in Metal Gear Solid, you actually got a better score if you don't kill anyone.

>>3455711
Tyranid.

IN OUR BACKPACK.

SYNAPSE.

WILL NOT WORK.

Feed it the tiny worm creature. Maybe it will get sick from the infection and die.

>>3455741
Do it.

>>3455741
that... actually sounds like a good idea.

>>3455780
no it doesn't.

It's not like tyranids are resistant creatures right?

And besides, even for a weak creature, it takes at least a few hours for the effect of infection to kick in, not to mention killing it.

You're fagtards.

>>3455711
That's nice for metal gear solid. We're playing aliens vs predator 2 atm.

Shoot it!

>>3455671
The monster looks quite content with feasting on the hulk, throwing the empty armour away like it was nothing. Blood is everywhere. You're greatly uncomfortable.
>>3455741
That's silly. The little worm couldn't be more than twenty pounds heavy, and this beast is probably over a ton! Not to mention that it's eating one of those fucking hulks. That infection would at most make it sneeze.

>>3455812
Yeah, except we only have 1 spare mag. We don't have 9999 bullets!

We need stealthy! STEALTHY! RUN and HIDE FROM THE ENEMIES!

>>3455837
SQUAD MORALE BROKEN

>>3455837
Wait and see if the 'Nid goes away. Drink some water in the meantime... Then retrieve the case!

>>3455837
I like how the helmet shows her facial expression...

But yeah, let's see if we can retrieve the case after it goes away...

>>3455837
Get your rifle with the tranq dart ready in case you've got to put this thing down. Until then, hang back and observe.

>>3455837
LOOK MOAR.

>>3455837
Is it just me, or does that case say krak grenades? Can we take a gander through the optic at the case?

If we are thirsty enough to almost go mad, I don't think we would care if the canteen is *possibly* infected with alien sperm.

Drink away or perish.

>>3455921
Either we shoot the box, killing the nid

OR

We hide, wait for it to go away, and loot the nades.

>>3455951
I say we loot the nads.

I mean, 'nades.

Let's not waste the Krak 'Nades all in one go.

>>3455837
SHOOT THE FUCKEN BOX

>>3455933
>>3455869
You. Are. Watching. A humongous monster rip and tear a smaller creature to tiny ribbons. After appearing out of thin air.
You couldn't even fart at this point, even if your Eldar physique allowed farting.
>>3455863
YES IT IS.

>>3455995
No no no no no no no!

You guys do know that crates of grenades don't magically explode when you shoot them, right?

>>3456047
Okay. Let's stop watching. Hide and pray to whatever Elder God we believe in. Keep praying until the sounds stop...

>>3456063
This is set in 40K. Rule of cool is law. You're telling me we can't set off grenades by shooting them? PSHAW.

Well, we could grapple the box over.

>>3456063
In video games, yes. They do. So do barrels and propane tanks. And cars. And cardboxes. And kittens. Hell, in video games, everything explodes when shot.

Also, we've been frozen in place for most of the thread, and for the rest of it we were crazed over water. I'm not saying RAILROAD yet, but...

bump

>>3456118
Yesterday we took our breastplate off to pinch our nipples and shout "Whee!". We kinda get sidetracked when we don't have clear objectives.

>>3456047
How much marine can this thing eat? what's it up to?

>>3456118
Yeah?

Okay, I will then.

CHOOOO-CHOOOOO

chugga chugga chugga - chugga chugga chugga - chugga chugga chugga

ALL ABOARD THE NIGHT TRAIN

The monster, obviously having had it's fill, lumbers off, looking kind of funny as it picks the remains of the armoured creature out of it's barnacles.

You let out a really, really quiet fart.

>>3456249
Okay! Once it's out of sight, let's retrieve the case and loot the contents. Also, see if we can recover any useful bits from the dead brute. Like maybe a weapon, more grenades, a map, a codec frequency, or anything else useful.

>>3456275
or a hat!

>>3456310
He wasn't wearing a helmet... Maybe we can make a hat from the left over bits?

>>3456320
A helmet... made of shoulderpads.

>>3456323
FUCK YES

>>3456323
But we already have a helmet. This is stupid. A hat for our helmet made of shoulderpads!

Maybe we can make a really poor brute disguise using the left over armor bits? Who knows, maybe they're not too intelligent!

>>3456275
>>3455973
>>3455951
You wander out in the field on slightly shaky legs. You look at the case. It's covered in a great deal of goo. It appears to be codelocked.

>>3456378
Search and see if there is some sort of code written anywhere? Maybe he scratched it into the tree?

>>3456344
Hmm, true, I didn't think of that we already had a helmet. Now that you mention it, it seems incredibly stupid, so nevermind. Though I'm seconding the idea of looting and putting together some makeshift eldar equipment out of spess mehreen gear.

>>3456378
What's our lockpick skill? Maybe we should have a look at that space marine hand and see if there's any inscriptions on it... maybe the poor sod suffered from a crappy short term memory.

>>3456378
Look around for the pieces of brute armor. He had an antenna, so there has to be something for it to interface with. Maybe he had some sort of data storage device built into the armor, or at least a pocket.

>>3456275
You take a quick look around. What appears to have survived the carnage looks to be some sort of backpack, with a funny-looking pole sticking out of it. It, aswell as everything else, is covered in chunks of brute.
>>3456392
You can't see any sort of code on the trunk of the tree, nor on the box, neither on the sides nor under it.

>>3456416
Marine disguise. lol Request someone to draw that! An Elfdar Ranger wearing a really crappy Space Marine disguise made from bloody Marine armour pieces!

>>3456429
Search the backpack thing.

>>3456429
Free schwag! Let's loot the backpack. Maybe his hats in there.

Going to cut it here. Have to plan out some more.

Didn't really think you'd do it like this. Sorry for appearing to be so rail-roady, but you were dissagreaing about what do to so much, altering between 'SHOOT THINGS' and 'RUN AWAY', that I just decided to keep you alive.

Same time again tomorrow. Promise to railroad no more, and I agree that I did do that.

>>3456538
Damn. I'll be at work tomorrow. Someone archive it for me, yeah?

Sooooo did anybody else notice that 90% of the actual "actions" were part of a cutscene we couldn't interact with? Yeah.

This shit sucks.
