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

>>12815452
>cont
You think this is bad! I've been to hell and back Ladies, and what you are experiencing is nothing more then a light migraine in comparison!
Look at yourselves, betwitched by the forces of the ruinous powers!
What is a deamon? Nothing more then a miserable pile of emotions!

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

>>12815452
>>12815457
"And as for you Mirial Sabathial born in M41: 52, served under cannoness Talsan the Unforgiving of the Swift Striking Justicars of the Emperor, a small fringe sub sect based in the Kronus Expanse, listed as Killed in Action in M41:110, reappearing three decades later during a rearguard action on Sanctum Sancturis leading a band of the followers of Slaanesh (Breath)
Who the hell do you think you are?
You come to us in this parade of misfortune and and deception, and deign to act as though somehow you are a threat?
Mirial, let me tell you one thing- you are, at best, an oddity in the minds of the Ruinous ones. And if you believe anything different then you are stupider then you look!
You call this a moral dillemna?
Please- I once had to slaughter my way out of a schoa progenium where all of the Kindertoten had been transfixed by a weaver of Khorne!
I've destroyed entire populated planets just to watch them burn!
I do not see today a champion of chaos- instead I see a petulant child, one jealous of her siblings for the attention they receive from their farther!
you've shown that the forces of chaos are too afraid to fight except when they have the overwhelming advantage and can only enjoy themselves if they have absolute control over their opponents and no fear of retribution.
When I look at you, Mirial Sabatheial, I see a sad, lost little girl quaking in armor three times to big for her!
I do not feel hatred, or anger, or fear.
I feel only pity.
Mirial Sabathiel- you are small time!"

Ok, thats the three parts of that awesome speech up, basically everything else in that thread was a discussion of vortex grenading the fallen sister and how to go about it.

>>12815474

alright let me think a bit and crank something out. already burning out from lack of sleep and stuff.

>>12815509
S'okay OP
take your time

crashed mid-sentance. it happens sometimes. I have this uncanny ability to fall asleep anywhere

regardless i have a paper(shortstory) to write this morning so i'll reply after I write that.

good luck OP

Didn't plan for this many degrees of sucess... Need to tweak possible outcomes...

>>12819268
Really?
Wow!

>>12819333

Epic speeches give you dice mods

I will remember that for future reference

>>12819268
>>12819349
Out of interest, how many dice mods did we get and how many degrees of success?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqO5R6lljEY&feature=related

sorry class inturrupted my writing of the reply :P out now. almost done

>>12815461
>>12815457
>>12815452

Evangela steps to the broken window as you speak, bullets hitting the frame and her armor, letting her rosy, divine glow shine down on the possessed sisters.

Miriael looks infuriated as you finish your speech, her entire form quaking with rage and raw power. Arcs of warp lightning and fire jump from her clenched fists and grinding teeth, her pure white eyes ablaze with an unfathomable hate.

The volley of shots becomes even less accurate, several of the charging sisters falling forward, seizing, but they were still coming.

The Black Harlot barked several commands, a several squads of girls with chainswords walking forth, their arms bulging with muscle. They twitched and drooled as they walked, wearing little to know armor. At the center of each was a whispy figure. A daemon only visible from the corners of your eye, and from the daemon extended psychic tethers controlling the lot. These sisters were completely mindless, chaos having obliterated all that they were. No amount of talk would dissuade them.

>>12820352

On their heels were two or three squads of corrupted seraphim, their jump packs resembling what the chaos raptors use. They were also outfitted with sonic weaponry, the guns had been cut down in size, and likely power to be able to be attached to one arm. In the opposite arm they held some form of close combat weapon, either power or chain.

Following the possessed seraphim was another chaotic sister. This one stood tall, her body wracked with warp mutations, a huge grin plastered on her face. From the patterns on what was left of her armor, you could tell she was a Canoness.

She reached to draw her sword, advancing a single step toward Mirial, her head snapping back as the daemon wrestled her into control. "Kill them all."

The canoness growled, turning and charging toward the building, drawing her blade.

The Corrupt Seraphim moved forward, rocketing up and through the windows around you. You stumbled back to avoid their strike

The sisters seemed to snap into action, firing at the onrush of chaos, casualties on both sides growing at an alarming rate.. The farseer and her warlocks was in a state of deep concentration, the entire group glowing faintly. Of the other eldar, only the Harlequins remained, the others going down to fight on the front lines.

Ok...
I think we need to corodinate some fire against those daemons that are controlling the sisters bodies.
And we've shut that smug bitch up, which is nice, and if she is angry, she may make mistakes.

>>12820442
I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't made epic speeches and then we rolled critical success

>>12820442
"Don't tell me NO ONE thought of boarding up the windows after what happened last time?"

>>12820359
Should we challenge Mirial to a one on one after a little more creative insults?

>>12820359
Don't go after the meat shields! Aim to dissapate the warp energy controlling them

>>12820740
with the blessed/psycannon bolter rounds

Can I still make rousing speeches, or is that time over now?

>>12820679
It would be funny, though I think she is more likely to just snuff us out of existence the moment we reveal ourselves. She seems rather pissed :D

OP, how have the sisters reacted to the speech?

>>12820773
More rousing speeches are never bad, however I think we should wait a while untill the next, we may take a morale hit at some point after all.

So, what do we do know?

>>12820884
what do we do now or what do we know?

>>12820993
Well the chainsword wielding sisters are puppets controlled by daemons, we can see the daemons and can thus kill them.
>A daemon only visible from the corners of your eye, and from the daemon extended psychic tethers controlling the lot.
The cannonness, may have retained some free will as she appears to try and attack the fallen sister.
>She reached to draw her sword, advancing a single step toward Mirial, her head snapping back as the daemon wrestled her into control.
The farseer and warlocks are doing....something....
>The farseer and her warlocks was in a state of deep concentration, the entire group glowing faintly.
And we appear to be in close combat :D
>The Corrupt Seraphim moved forward, rocketing up and through the windows around you. You stumbled back to avoid their strike

>>12821149
>>12820993
Right, I suppose seraphim are the most important threat at the moment, because I'm assuming that the doors are currently barred so ground level enemies will take a while to get in
More technology freaking to deal with the Corrupted Seraphim?

>>12821233
We still have the energy blade I believe, this may be a good time to give it a combat test.

>>12821270
I don't know, it'll be kind of hard to hit those fliers with a gun, much less a sword

>>12821270

Doesn't the new sword kill whatever it hits? Shouldn't we switch our psyblade to tazer mode, as these sisters aren't totally lost?

>>12821345
We may be able to save the cannonness, I have no idea about the seraphim. They are not celestians, so I don't think they have the insane force of will that is probably required to break the bond.
And as the blade destroys that which it touches, it should prevent the daemon from claiming the sisters soul, and it may destroy the daemon as well.

>>12821382
I don't think it works like that- the soul is a metaphysical construct
And besides, the sword just CUTS through everything, no actually immolate it

Do we have a tazer setting?

>>12821345
...Psytazer?
sure why not!
Set the blade to stun

>>12821396
You're probably right, it is basically a void blade I believe.
Tazing them is a possibility, though we may have to settle with cutting them down, I believe the sisters are doing the same. Though on the other hand, saving some is better than none.

i'm still here. I'm checking back now and again so when you guys agree on something get your first person replies out there.

We could always dual wield, try to taze one, and hit another with the energy blade. See what happens.

>>12821471
>>12821525

Deciding to use the energy-blade only to destroy the seraphims' weapons, Inquisitor Kravos sets her psyblade to stun to save as many sisters as possible.
While advancing towards the nearest chaos infested warrior she tries to get an overview of the situations, are the Farseer and the warlocks in danger? How long until the other chaos troops reach her position? As she gets close enough to charge she begins shouting the ancient war-chant of sector tiijii:
"Waifus for the waifu pile. Bitches for the golden throne!". Have at them.
.
.
.
Sorry, I'm dead tired...

>>12821658
'_______'

How about this? It's from the original rogue trader book.

"Though silver in your palms weighs light
Compared to death by blast and sword,
Do not shy the hopeless fight,
For endeavour is its own reward."

Seems to be a slow day again. Quite disappointing.

>>12822127
In term of players, of course.

psytazer?

A force blade is a power weapon that makes things asplode when a psyker uses it. It doesn't have a "stun" setting

>>12821658

This IS incredibly silly however

>>12822525
Well the first part is ok, and checking to see how the others are doing is a good idea. The war chant, less so.
Hell, its basically what I think we should do, minus the war chant.

Though if we cant taze, we could instead dual wield and use both swords on 2 different enemies to see which is more effective...

>>12822504
Couldn't we manifest a low voltage/amperage blast of electricity to temporarily overwhelm or incapacitate the corrupted sisters?

And I'll admit, I lol'd with the image of "Set Psy Weapons to stun!"

>>12822504
I just thought, this being 40k and all, you know... if we channeled something other than hatred through our psyblade we might get it to stun instead of kill. In the grim darkness of this 41st millennium nobody has probably even tried it.

>>12822634
There is another option, we cripple the sisters. Limbs can be replaced after all. Though I have an image of an inquisitor removing the legs of the sisters not going down to well. I can't see the other sisters reacting well when they see us leave the corrupted sisters still alive and legless. Something along the lines of WTF are you doing!?!

>>12822667
Gah, rewriting part of a sentence without proofreading strikes again!

>>12822667
I've never played Dark Heresy, so I've got no clue about canon warp powers. I can't imagine there isn't a biomancy power that can be used to stun our enemies. Hell they're still in their armour, shouldn't we be able to use machine curse? Or has that been removed lately?

>>12822800
It's still there. Or at least it is in deathwatch.
One thing to note, we have just given a badass speech extolling us to do what is neccessary and how as an inquisitor this is not a morale dilemma. We may have to consign ourselves to the fact that, this time, we can't save them. All we can do is give them a quick death, and hope that their will is enough to prevent their souls being claimed.

>>12822829

We're a badass inquisitor. Not trying to save them for no other reason than indolence would be heresy. Even by our rather, well, malleable standards.
There's got to be a way to save at least most of them. Has anything been heard from Esme?

>>12822886
It's not idolence if we don't know how to save them.
And we have heard nothing from esme.

>>12823006

We knew how to bind a daemon to our soul. I'd say they teach you how to get rid to 'em in the Inquisitorial Academy as well.

>>12823022
True, but generally not in a combat situation. The main problem here is incapacitation.
Holocaust would be so usefull right now, though nothing would survive.

Ok. we need a first person post, or this is going nowhere.

We could just parry and try to disarm for a bit until we have a grasp on the situation, keep things moving.

Alright I'm here hold on

Well, I guess it would be too much to ask that they should all fall to their knees weeping in praise of the glory of the god Emperor, eh?
Still, you do what you can in my job- and like hell am I seeing anymore of the god emperor's servants condemned to burn alive from the inside out for the rest of eternity.
"Try to keep the sisters with a chance alive! Fight to disarm or wound!" I shout, before adding sotto vocco "IF you know how to do such a thing,"
I ward off an enroaching fallen seraphim with my new sollex blade and attempt to slice her weaponry in half or at the very least disarm her.
"If you must shoot- shoot the sisters without armor! Aim for the center if you have any blessed munitions."
Taking my own advice I fire off several of the psycannon bolter rounds at the deamonic whisps.
"And for the love of hell, protect the Farseer!"
I turn back to the battle fully now, annoyed by such a tedious affair.
"Is this all you have Mirial?" I shout. "Hiding behind pawns? Where's your love of battle? The excitment of cleaving flesh from bone? The intoxicating scent of blood and spent bolters round? The graceful deadly dance of blade and chainsaw? Are you sure you aren't some cackling Tzneetichian?
Or is this battle just too impersonal for you?"

"Damnit all! You're better then this! I know you are all!
Look at me- I'm a flippin' psyker! I love heresy!
I bound a deamon to my person and then fornicated with it on a pile of prayer books! I'M TRAITOR MUTIE SCUM!
Doesn't that make you angry? Come you bitches- use it! Strike me down as an abomination and heretic!
But you need to break free first!"

>>12824519
we may not want to say that

>>12824519
>>12824725
I can see what its trying to do, it just isn't the best way to do it. The other sisters may kill us first :P

>>12820359
>She reached to draw her sword, advancing a single step toward Mirial, her head snapping back as the daemon wrestled her into control.

Oooh, so close!

>>12824804
Yeah, I'm trying to invoke their RIGHTEOUS FURY!
I was hoping that the other sisters would've figured out what I'm doing

Give me a second to finish another inspiring speech

"What will it take, then? To make you fight?
Come on, you're so close! A deamon has no power except what you give it!
It plays on your fears, your weaknesses, your sins, and takes them as it's own.
You think perhaps that you deserve this fate? To be tortured for the rest of eternity? That you are sinful and heretical for suffering the ignominy of the deamons will?
That is only true if you stop fighting!
You, all of you, are sisters of battle, adepta Sorotia!
You serve the Emperor with your faith and devotion, and with faith there must also sometimes come sacrifice.
Come on! I'm not asking for a sacrifice of your blood, you can keep your blood! I'm asking you for your souls! Only YOU can give up your souls, and that's only if you stop fighting! Lay a fire within your soul and another between your hands, and let both be your weapons-
For one is faith and the other is victory and neither may ever be put out!"

"Cannoness Galatea, what's a simple prayer every Sorotia learns? Something like the Pater Imperator.
Send orders to start saying- everyone, to sing it at the top of their voices! Shout it like our lives depend on it!"

Do we need more replies?

>>12826607
I think OP may have crashed.

I seem to have an uncanny knack that I seem to choose to refresh quite soon after people have posted...its getting rather weird. Either that or the combined affects of 5:40 AM and iminent coursework deadline are causing me to refresh more often and then forget doing so.

>>12826676

Yeah I can understand what you're saying
How's the paper coming?

>>12826780
Complex variable theory is a bitch. And the provided course notes do not make for easy reading. And I have 9 hours left in which to finish it :D

>>12826846
Well then stop browsing /tg/ and get to work!
Good luck

im here i'm back and oh god i've never had to do so many things at once that were all over the place and my god its so late already.

I owe you guys some time. Time to give you that time

>>12824519

also, wat?

i lol'd tho

>>12824519
>>12827289
>Look at me- I'm a flippin' psyker! I love heresy!

Yeah, dont use that please.

>>12827264
Thanks OP
It'd be better though if we all sat down and found a time that we were all free
Or at least, a time when you had time, so the rest of could make time
We know you have a life bro-ette, it's just 24/7 quest makes participation a little lax if you can post a reply and check back in a few hours later

>>12827312
>>12827289
I was trying to invoke the sisters latent RIGHTEOUS FURY

>>12825057

As you speak, one of the seraphim swoops down, swinging wildly at your head. You raise your blade to defend yourself but Galatea intercepts, the posessed sister's skull cracking open like a ripe melon in her power fist. Brain matter and bits of oozing from between the fingers of the powerfist.

The elder sister's eyes were haunted. "Now's not the time for words inquisitor! Defend yourself and free my sisters from this hell!"

She cast the body aside, revving her chainaxe and throwing herself at another.

Filigree had backed away from the fight, standing in the furthest corner of the room, watching it with the excitement of a child.

The sisters were doing their best to fight off the seraphim, the Silver Winged Angels being the only ones to fight them on equal ground... well... air in this case.

You turned your head as a horrible metalic tearing sound filled the air. A seraphim had cut Tybalt clean in half, as well as Sister Anna's bolter. She was now moving in for the final blow.

Another cry attracted your attention. The Carol and Coral were being overwhelmed, the one healthy sister doing her best to defend her injured sibling with the twin fractal blades.

>>12827666
wait where are we?

>>12827666
OH SHIT

>>12827666
OP did
>>12824058
get included in that too?
Is talking still a free action?

I had a feeling something like this would happen if we kept talking rather than fighting.
Who de we prioritise saving? The twins or anna?
Or do we try and find a way to do both.

If anna is closer, we could try and dispatch her assailant, then give her one of our weapons, before moving to support the twins.

Also, tybalt! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>12827843
Now, I think, is time for Filigree to crack that whip
Try to tangle whichever attacking party is farther away- we'll head over to deal with the remaining party as quickly as possible

>>12827843
Don't worry, he's a robot- we'll just upload his memchip to a different body later on

We can save both I'm sure

>>12827666
>>666
Great...

"Filigree, get moving and help the twins for fucks sake!" Meanwhile, we move in Anna's direction. Intent on sneaking up on her attacker(s ?) we don't fire our weapon her direction but use it to take the pressure of the twins.

>>12828762
If Filigree doesn't react, throw one of our spent bolter magazines at her head. That might get her attention.

>>12828762
Seconded.

Before we move forward, can we have a more detailed description of the situation?
The way I'm currently thinking of going is to have Filigree entangle the one threatening the twins and then I go after the one that's harrasing Anna, hopefully disarm and then stun if possible
If not, well, limb loss is a form of disarming isn't it?

>>12829946
It's 40k. Limb loss isn't that much of an issue anymore. At least as long as you are important.

>>12827813

talking is free. speeches are not :P

>>12830264
There's a difference?
Alright noted
>>12824058
still a viable option?

>>12829694
>>12828762

You chuck a spent magazine at Filigree, hitting her squarely between the eyes. She is about to yell at you when you bark and order out, pointing to the twins.

You move in toward Anna, getting the jump on the sister that was attacking her. Your presance was enough of a distraction for Anna to land a hard punch to her face, breaking her nose and knocking her out of the air.

You bring your sword down three times. Once to destroy her sonic weapon, once to remove her sword, and once through her thigh, incapacitating her.

Anna, however, didn't stop, leaping on the disarmed woman and slamming her hard into the mosaic stone floor. She grabbed her by the shoulders and repeated the effect several times before attempting to strangle her.

Filigree was not quite so fortunate. She managed to entangle two of the sisters who, being posessed by slaaneshi daemons, did not seem to mind... or be hindered very much for that matter. The third seraphim found the end of her lightning claw, the daemonette dropping the corrupted sister to the ground to bleed out.

>>12830351

no not really. especially because you aren't near the window anymore.

>>12830403

The farseer and her warlocks rose to their feet, warp lightning arcing across the entire room, striking down or stunning many of the corrupt sisters, giving you the upper hand.

>>12830403
"ANNA LEAVE IT, MOVE ON TO THE NEXT!"
I toss her my bolter pistol
"Go on! Try the deamons in the center of the blank sisters! The huge ones with the swords!"

>>12830457

you're like on the 3rd story of a building. those sisters haven't gotten to you yet.

>>12830403
>You chuck a spent magazine at Filigree, hitting her squarely between the eyes.
:D

Anna seems to be fine, are there any weapons near by? Or should we just give her our bolter?

Regardless, we should make our way over to the twins, assuming of course filigree doesn't finish of the corrupted sisters.

>>12830462
I was hoping she'd go to the windows and start taking pot shots

>>12830421
How many are left standing?
Are the twins still in danger?

>>12830481

there are still two left going after the twins. Filigree is trying to hold them back with the whip but she doesn't weigh that much and she can only dig her heels in so far.

>>12830508
Well that makes my job easier
"Anna leave her!" I shout to the infuriated Sister, hoping to overcome her bloodrage "It's already out of the fight! Help me save Carol and Coral!"
I dash over to the entangled Seraphm, and deliver swift blow by grabbing their heads and knocking them together until they're both out, coupled with other disabling shots.

>>12830508
In that case, we still have an inferno pistol right?
After throwing the bolt pistol at anna, open up with the inferno pistol.

>>12830543
>>12830457

You toss your bolt pistol at Anna who catches it before it hits the floor, sending one shot through the downed sister's head, whispering a small litany of purification as she did so.

You rush toward Filigree and the twins, but you are intercepted partway, a Seraphim attacking you from the side, firing her sonic pistol at you.

The force of the blast knocks you off your feet and deafens and stuns you for a moment. You drop your force blade, but you still have the Solex blade. Your inferno Pistol is holstered on your hip.

Filigree is jerked forward by the Seraphim. She smirks, using agility and luck to swing around the seraphim, her lightning claw piercing through both of their torsos and into the ground. She pulls the claw and lash back, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand.

"Groovy..."

Then, daemons with tentacles came and raped them all

>>12830948

Nah only the japanese ones got raped.

Goddamnit, as if this day wasn't bad enough, references!

>>12830902
I wonder if filigree will ever stop with the bad one liners. Maybr that's what awaits us when we die, bad one liners, FOREVER.

>>12830902
Goddamnit, what do we do once we beat the Seraphim in front of us?

>>12831050
Well non lethal doesn't really seem to be working, as everyone else is being decidedly lethal.

We should probably retrieve the force weapon though. And head towards the twins, though filigree seems to have dealth with the seraphim.

>>12831090
Should we kindly ask people to stop killing each other?

>>12830902
"Goddammit, does no one understand non-lethal take downs?"
Deciding that the best way to lead is through example, I go in low, ducking under guard, to tackle the Seraphim, laying on a paralyzing bio-electric charge.

>>12831111
I don't think it will work, they seem pretty into it, both the sisters and the possessed. If we could find a way of incapacitating them enmasse then perhaps this may be more viable.

>>12831166
Well, the Farseers already did that here:
>>12830421
We could do that again, I think with a bio-electric storm
Really the important part will be restraining them and convincing the sisters not to blamm them all like Sister Anna

>>12831140

you dash forward, ducking the seraphim's swing and zap her with pure psykic energy. Her legs collapse beneath her and she falls to the floor, twitching occasionally. She's not going anywhere for a long time.

You hear the crash of a thunder hammer against stone. One of Florencia's swings went wide, knocking over a large stone statue, sending it toppling down killing one seraphim and pinning the legs of another.

The Farseer had begun to float, several enemy sisters stuck in a gravity well around her, the warlocks focusing their power to quickly kill one at a time.

You look and see Tessa. She and her squad seem particularly angry, swinging their chainswords with terrifying brutality, their armor splattered in blood and bits of bone and organs.

Filigree bounded up to you. "They're not even trying to win Quizzy. Either they're possessed incorrectly or they are under orders."

"...You don't think that they want us to kill them? To release a deamon or summon.. frack.
For the love of god, stop killing the possesed sisters, all of you!"

>>12831911
Why is everyone killing them with such a gusto?
Haven't we said, several times, to try to take the possessed sisters down nonlethally?

I don't understand - weren't the majority of these possessed seraphims just knocked out?

I wonder if our badass speech has backfired slightly....

>>12832107
What do you mean?
(also, don't you feel silly for advocating all the cleave and smite tactics?)

>>12832031

Filigree shook her head. "No not like that! Something is wrong here though..."

You pause momentarily and survey the scenes around you. Something WAS off, but you couldn't put your finger on it at the moment.

Movement flickers at the corner of your eye and you dodge and parry instinctively with the sollex blade. The powersword that had been swung at your neck is sheared in half, the broken half of the sword slicing your cheek as it flew past you.

>>12832130
"I AM TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION HERE!"
Uppercut!
Backfist!
Haymaker!
Kick to the sollar plexis!

>>12832123
I do not retract my comments about lethal takedowns, give the circumstances I believed it to be the best course of action. There was no real evidence to the contrary at that time. I did try and temper my suggestions to keep in line with the majority of posters however.

And with regards to the speech, we may have been what caused them to react with such fervor.

>>12832130
Who's attacking me?

>>12832130
"Well, what else? Perhaps the Sorotias are fighting back internally?"

".... These are the days I hate my job,"

>>12832130
are we still waiting for replies?

>>12832165
>>12832165
I don't know, after we found out that the possesed souls would be eaten if they were killed kind of gave me pause to killing them

>>12832426
We are an inquisitor, we make the tough decisions that no one else will make and we accept the consequences, whatever they may be.

>>12832443
Well, certain kind of inquisitors would probably write off the sorotias off from the start
But I'm pretty sure Delessa is more reasonable- she knows that most of them still have a fighting chance, and that the alternative is worse, given the circumstances

>>12832443
Anyway that's neither here nor there
Do you have any idea on how to deal with the situation now?

>>12832454
It all depends on the situation, at the timee I viewed organising an effective defense as more important than saving the souls of the sisters. Call it harsh if you will, but when you acknowledge that you can't save everybody, you can better allocate your resources to save more.

>>12832482
Well comething is clearly up.
It may be that the fallen sister has something planned that she wants us alive for, the corrupted sisters may merely have been a diversion to keep us occupied.

I have a hunch that it may somehow link in with esme, I am not sure how though, just a feeling.

>>12832510
I thought for certain that maybe the sisters were fighting back, you know, like the cannoness?

>>12832532
Canonness most definatly seemed to be I will agree. The problem still stands as to how we would actually go about freeing them. Right now however, we need some information, if there is something else going on, we need to know about it. Lets deal with whoever attacked us, and then return to filigree.

>>12832599
right

>The Farseer had begun to float, several enemy sisters stuck in a gravity well around her, the warlocks focusing their power to quickly kill one at a time.
>Anna, however, didn't stop, leaping on the disarmed woman and slamming her hard into the mosaic stone floor. She grabbed her by the shoulders and repeated the effect several times before attempting to strangle her.

Why am I even trying... *sigh*
You know, fuck it. Kill them all, I don't care anymore.

>>12832155

You quickly recover from the attack, your fist connecting with the corrupt girl's face, breaking her nose and sending her stumbling back. Filigree jumped into action, pushing you out of the way as she darted forward.

She struck out with her lash, wrapping it around the chaos sister's neck, pulling her in close. The lightning claws hummed loudly as Filigree rammed them into the possessed girl's torso, the metal shrieking in protest as she tore the claw upward, the girl peeling apart like a banana before slumping to the ground in a sloppy mess.

"Heh... Hehehehe..." She licked the blood from her lips, her eyes glowing faintly. "Oh its such a waste... but so FUN!"

>>12833077

The sisters are frenzied, the farseer doesn't care what you think, and Filigree is having too much fun. All around you are the sounds of bolters, screaming, and ripping armor.

Yelling isn't going to get you what you want, even if you use a radio

>>12833091
"STOP
KILLING
STUFF
YOU
COULD
INCAPACITATE
JUST
AS
EASILY
FILIGREE"

>>12833119
I second this

>>12833091
>>12833110
G*ddamit, we're getting nowhere with this!
I unholster my inferno pistol and use my psykic powers to amplify my voice after I finish berating Filigree
I shout
"FOR THE LOVE OF THE THRONE!
STOP
FRACKING
KILLING
THEM!
USE
YOUR
EFFING
HEADS!"
And punctuate each syllable with a shot fired into the roof
If that doesn't get anyone's attention I'm going to use Feedback screech to create such a discordant racket that people HAVE to pause, if only to cover their ears until the ringing stops

>>12833091
.... that's it, Filigree is getting a time out

>>12833177
use the feedback screech first first, and THEN the psykically enhanced shout
Also, I wouldn't reccommend firing that pistol indors, seeing as how this place is made of gingerbread and frosting

>>12833177
>If that doesn't get anyone's attention I'm going to use Feedback screech to create such a discordant racket that people HAVE to pause, if only to cover their ears until the ringing stops.

I'd like to advise against this. As much as I hope we might save the sisters, once we consider they're possessed by Slaaneshi daemons, we should be able to deduct that such a manoeuvre might stun our allies while doing nothing against their enemies - leaving our troops unable to defend themselves and thus enabling the enemy's forces to attack much more easily.

>>12833177
>>12833215
Urk, if the feedback screech doesn't affect the daemons, we could lose some sisters if we do that.
I strongly suggest we work out what we are missing before we do anything rash, at least that way we have some hard evidence as to why it is a bad idea, rather than the, we may be able to save them option, which the sisters may not even listen too. Some of them are in a battle rage, do you think they are going to listen to our claims that are based of a feeling that something is wrong?

>>12833264
Grab Anna, kiss her, tell her to stop killing senselessly while she's still totally flabbergasted?

>>12833264
At this point, I'm just freaking tired of them not even paying attention to anything we've been saying for the last twelve hours
I was hoping to create such a racket that fighting would stop EVERYWHERE and that all eyes would turn to us
You have to admit that just slaughtering everyone wholesale isn't going to workout for us in the long run

>>12833215
>>12833177

Feedback Screech is techpriest only

and the place isn't made of gingerbread and frosting. You just rolled the worst possible outcome when throwing the vortex grenade on the roof.

>>12833302
Darn- isn't there some form of psykic shout?
(Also I know it isn't made of gingerbread, but I like to pretend it is)

>>12833290
No, but we should get some evidence to back up our claims first, or they may just ignore us.

>>12833302
There has to be some sisters equivalent to "Spartans, what is your profession?". Something so deeply ingrained during their training, so deeply connected to be only spoken by their instructors, that they'll have to pay at least some attention, even in combat, to the person who uttered the phrase.

>>12833328
Well, the middle of the battle isn't exactly the place to present a slideshow, or anything that can't be explained in three short sentences
I'm kind of hoping that "Take my fracking word for it!" would be enough

>>12833351
That was what I was going for here:
>>12825114

>>12833366
Not what I meant, but if we can explain what will happen if they continue rather than "something bad's gonna happen guys, trust me on this"

guys. OP never said directly that we could save the sisters.

Also, there is more than just this one city. There are bound to be thousands of sisters all getting horrorslaaneshraept.

I say just make sure the paralyzed one doesn't get killed, and maybe try to save the one whose legs got crushed by a statue. We seriously dont want to deal with trying to control a bunch of chaos sisters when we dont even know how to purify them yet.

And another thing, OP never said we could purify them. Lets not make the same mistake we did with the whole "ITS THE TECH PRIEST" thing. We may not be able to save them. Period.

>>12833379
We're a psykic inquistor- just saying "this shit is fracked up yo" should be enough
I know that they don't like us very much, but they should at least recognize that, in the middle of a firefight, if we say "Stop killing them, it's a bad idea!" We have a pretty good reason

>>12833391
There's someone else here who shares my opinion...
I'd all but given up hope...

>>12833391
Maybe....
but there a lot of big hints that their fighting back and probably are TRYING at the very least

>>12833391
No, the black harlot pretty much said herself that the sisters are fighting back, and if
>>12820352
>>12820359
Is anything to go by, they're pretty damn close to breaking free

>>12833409
You know, at the end of this you might have either been the only one who saw it coming. Or THAT guy.
Interesting times indeed.

Either way, we're getting no where with this
Really, I just wish we had issued that challenge to Mirial and done it out already

>>12833490
I'd rather not be THAT guy, but I do see your point.
Regardless, having an opinion that differs from the group consensus is never a bad thing.

So, any ideas?
I'm definately of the opinion that Filigree needs a firm thwack on the back of the head and time out, along with a good talking to, but the time out can come later
Right now, things can't continue on as they are- we're not being particularly effective at either driving back the deamonhosts OR helping the possesed Sorotias
We're trying to say "hey Everybody stop killing, go for incapacitating blows," but no one really seems to be listening

No action then?

>>12833688
Tessa and the saint should already be trying to keep themselves from killing their opponents, considering their own contact with chaos. No idea what to do about the others though.

>>12833846
>>12833846
My idea?
Psykic stop to get everyone's attention, and then
I don't know, duel?

Why don't we try and work out what it is that's wrong. It could be important, you never know.

>>12834053
I thought it was pretty obvious- the sisters are fighting back at the deamons control

>>12834073
>Filigree shook her head. "No not like that! Something is wrong here though..."
>You pause momentarily and survey the scenes around you. Something WAS off, but you couldn't put your finger on it at the moment.
Say's otherwise in my opinion

>>12834073
Maybe I'm wrong though

>>12834131
>" Either they're possessed incorrectly or they are under orders."
I don't know, that's how I interpreted it - and Filigree's shot down that it's part of some sort of summoning ritual or something like that

>>12834147
There are potentially worse things than a summoning.

I think the sisters are using everything they can to NOT ahnihilate everything. I doubt that they will ever completely break free.

Besides, even if they did, Tessa was raped (okay skullfucked) by slaaneshi cultists once and probably not for very long. She wanted to die right off the bat then. What do you think is the first thing these sisters would do if they broke free, regardless of how long?

AAlright, well then, if this IS the black Harlots plan (to go through the trouble of binding deamons to some of the most holy and least likely to fall people around short of Grey Knights only to have them not fight properly)
then to what end?
The other Sisters aren't particularity shy about blasting their brains, even though they know it'll send their fellows to an eternity of torment- so if her plan was to break morale it's probably not going to work
Maybe the ploy is a ruse for a distraction, and they're doing something else entirely while we're busy trying to get the two parties from killing the fuck out of each other?
Other then that I've got nothing

>>12834187
... such as?

>>12834223
On the other hand, Esme was soulraped by a Tzneetchian sorcerer, and she was fine with it

... Goddamnit, why do I always kill the conversation?

>>12834225
I personally think it is a distraction, I mentioned as much earlier, after all according to filigree they are either badly bound or have been ordered not to fight to win, I would say it is most likely the second of these 2 options. Though what they are distracting us from I do not know. This is why I really think we should find out what is wrong.

>I am not being beaten by you captcha, you will have to try harder than that.
>ΔΠ, Greculan

>>12834234
We don't know what it takes to shunt an area into the warp, OP already mentioned that this is what will happen if we fail.

>Inverted colours now captcha?

>>12834383
But if this was a distraction, why would they be ordered not to fight to win?
You'd think they'd want the deamonbound to fight even harder so that way we wouldn't have time to wonder "something seems peculiar about this whole situation,"

>>12834408
Rather than being order to fight to win, they could have been ordered to drag this out as long as possible.

>>12834408
Also, it was filigree who noticed this, no else seemed too. We only noticed when she mentioned it.

>>12834404
Pardon me for my rudeness, but what does that have to do with the price of fish in Hellsinki?
I don't see why they would Delibaretly have the sisters fight badly if that was the case- unless the release of souls bound to deamons is what's necessary, but if that's the case why wouldn't they just do that beforehand so as not to leave it up to chance?

>>12834441
So?
We noticed it- so that probably means she's telling us the truth

>>12834420
If the intent was to drag this out, though, I'd think they'd be less easy to kill

>>12834450
Sorry, I should have been more clear, we do not know what is required to shunt an area into the warp, it is possible that the act of destroying souls may be what is required, and that the black harlot thought it would be rather ironic if we caused our own demise. I was merely postulating and bringing forth an idea that was worse than a summoning.

>>12834458
Again, what I meant is that no one would have noticed if not for her, therefore the following argument is wrong, we didn't have time to think about it, they are fighting hard enough that it seems all out, this does not mean that they are however.
>You'd think they'd want the deamonbound to fight even harder so that way we wouldn't have time to wonder "something seems peculiar about this whole situation,"

>>12834521
So can we at least agree that more of the possessed sisters dieing is a bad idea?

>>12834582
I've been agreeing since we realised something was up, I just think we need too know a bit more about the situation before we go and issue a psychic scream and deafen everyone in the room.

>>12834607
Well.
Can you think of any angle we haven't covered yet?

You could try to work out what it is on your own but i really havn't given you that many clues yet. Im also rolling to see if you figure it out.

>>12834637
The farseer may be worth an attempt, assuming she isn't too busy blasting everything with lightning.

>>12834657
Alright, so none of the ideas proffered so are right
Let's try again
We saw squads of sisters being driven by a single deamon who took corporeal, if insubstantial, form
Why?
I'm sure there should be more then enough deamons to go around for each squad of sisters if the deamonhost variety is more effective, and if not, why leave the chance of their willpower stepping in for them and make them ALL like the meat shield sisters

>>12834680
Because for some reason, they need the souls of the sisters to remain in the bodies.

>>12834695
If that's the case, why aren't ALL of the possesed sisters like that then?

>>12834657
Are we hot or cold?

>>12834729
Possibly as just that, a meat shield. Though if that is the case, why were they not sent in first. Unless our speech really did pissoff the harlot more than we thought.

Perhaps there is something special about us killing the possessed sisters, in that it could be viewed as an imperial servant striking down another imperial servant.

Or perhaps, this is about the emotions that would be caused in this battle, the distress and suffering of the possessed coupled with the hate and anger of the sisters.

Or I could be completly wrong, just getting ideas of my head.

>>12834832

on what? you guys have given so much stuff I dont know where to start Q_Q

also im gonna vanish in a couple hours or an hour or something. birthday dinner. Legal drinking age now.

If I try to post when I get home and my posts are shit, please disregard them.

anywho lets get moving. what replies are there in that huge mess of posts?

srsly you guys need a chat or something to do your discussion in. we end up reaching post limit way to fast :P

>>12834918
I...don't actually think there are any replies, we couldn't agree on much.

>>12834918
Alright we definately need to do
>>12833119
And, I don't know, if we're not doing psykic shout, we have to do something to get their attention
Blinding lights?

>>12834896

or you could be pretty damn close in one regard and i'm not going to tell you directly because you can figure it out yourself in character since it will become more apparent soon

>>12834918
I don't know lady
Are we hot or cold on the fact that the possesed sisters are fighting worse because of internal battle of wills going on between the deamons and their soul hosts?

>>12834918
Also, happy brithday OP.

>>12834918
>>12834992
yes
Happy 21st birthday!
Many happy returns!

>>12834976
You're kidding right...
I've been pondering those two for a while, I just was reluctant to mention them as I thought they would be wrong and I didn't have much to back them up.

>>12835022
Well the emotional overflow one makes a lot of sense, considering how the warp feeds directly off of feelings

(ohfortheloveof ffffff.......)

"FILIGREE! JUST.... You and I are having a talk when this is over!"

I look around the battlefield to see where I am most needed.

>>12835036
Yeah, and the other one could be based on the perversion of the idea and the parallels that could be drawn to the horus heresy.

Both are rather slaaneshi. Though I agree, it is more likely to be the emotion one, don't rule out the other though.

>>12835071
How do we counter it?
Get everyone to sit down and sing "Kumbaya"?

>>12835046

Filigree whined. "But! Nooo... What did I do?"

Anna had backed into a corner, Verity halfway behind her. She was taking aimed shots at the seraphim that got to close, Verity lending her gun on occasion, though her accuracy was poor.

Elizabeth and Sonja were fighting side by side. Elizabeth had taken to using an inferno pistol but Sonja was not so lucky. She had used up all of her bolt pistol ammunition and was forced to use her sniper rifle in close combat, the metal barrel dented and twisted from the abuse.

Tessa seemed to be doing fine, firing the combi-flamer attached to her chainsword. She set the window shades on fire, but the building was almost entirely stone. The fire wouldn't do much damage.

Galatea was a maelstrom of death, screaming in rage as she slaughtered the chaos that crossed her path.

Florencia was doing similarly but was having a harder time, she seemed injured, though her thunderhammer still managed to strike true.

The battle itself had shifted away from the twins, giving them a brief respite.

The Farseer had disappeared off somewhere, as had the banshees.

>>12835187
So now do we tell them to stop killing the possesed sisters?

>>12835187
To Filigree, and, I guess, anyone else in hearing distance
"STOP
KILLING
STUFF
YOU
COULD
INCAPACITATE
JUST
AS
EASILY"

I've just had a worrying thought, I mentioned earlier how we may inadvertantly cause this area to be shunted into the warp, what if that is what this about?
Think about it. There is a major event in 40K fluff where extreme ammounts of emotion shunted a whole area of the galazxy into the warp, the fall of the eldar and the eye of terror. There are a lot of emotions in this room, emotions influence the warp, it may be possible that this is what will cause the planet to fall to the warp. For all we know, this may be occurring across the planetm think about all that emotion and what it must be doing to the warp.

Just a thought that occured to me, and seeing as we seem to be getting close, I thought I would share it.

>>12835242
I don't know- the sheer RAW amount of emotional power required to do that would be staggering beyond all levels of human conception, even with the bounds of the materium weakened as is

>>12835187
Somehow, I don't think the farseer is still on the planet, they had that emergency webway portal.

>>12835265
Just a thought. I could be wrong, just seems like a possibility if I was close with the emotion suggestion.

>>12835283
Why are you always so quick to suspect betrayal?
Rowdan is heavily invested in this planet- I don't think she'd bail out now

>>12835283

which was already used to bring troops to the planet

back on track guys come on.

>>12835310
I am mistrusting and cynical, it is one of my failings and I freely admit it.

However, If the area was about to collapse into the warp, I do think the eldar would bid a hasty retreat, what do they care for the lives of humans when their own souls are at risk?

>>12835314
I thought it worked both ways. And that it was reusable. It appears that I was wrong in this assumption, well that means we may be able to find the farseer and see if shes knows anything.

>>12835336
Oh, if she thought that the battle was well and truly fucked, and Rowdan still had a means to escape, then yeah, she'd probably start to ferry her troops out, though, considering the fluff, she may stick behind herself as a form of self punishment
But, considering the situation, I doubt that

>>12835365
At this point, we should REALLY impress upon our allies the importance of avoiding killing the soulbound opponents wherever possible

>>12835187
Well some of them seem to be in trouble, we could send filigree to one pair, and we could help the other.

I really don't see how we are going to stop this, even if we manage to stop the sisters, the daemons possessing the corrupted sisters will mean that the battle will continue. Though I suppose if we get the idea of non-lethal takedowns across, we could do it.

come on you guys lets get back on track. Replies plz while I'm here

Somebody else post, your better at this non-lethal thing than I am, I'll stick to postulating for now.

>>12835436
Like I said
Use a psykic shriek to rise above th din of battle and say "Stop playing in to the Black Harlots plans you zealots. Fight to disable or incapacitate deamonbound, not kill!"
And then I go and help Florentia, taking advantage of any pause in combat

>>12835474
I suggest we send filigree to either verity and ann or to Elizabeth and sonja, they seem to need the help.

>>12835474

The sonic weaponry shrieked and echoed through the small room. Even with the psychic amplification you were not going to be heard.

You move toward Florencia, grabbing your force blade as you move past it. The remaining seraphim too preoccupied to bother you as you made your way over.

The Canoness's fury was palpable, her thunder hammer shattering bone and armor with each mighty swing. She nearly struck you down as you approached, the Canoness twitching at the last moment, missing you by inches.

She didn't stop to apologize, turning once again to swing her gore-spattered weapon her battered opponents.

There was blood seeping out of the joints in the leg of her armor and out of her ear on the same side.

>>12835436
"Listen, I need everyone to-"
*BLAMMBLAMMBLAMM*
"I need you all -"
*SCREEECH*
"EVERYONE SHOULD"
*GIeEHeIHE*
".... *engage psykic screech*
EVERYONE SHUT UP!
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY
STOP
KILLING
THE DEAMONBOUNDS
INCAPACITATE THEM WHEN YOU CAN!
KILLING THEM IS PLAYING RIGHT INTO THE HARLOTS PLANS!"
"HIM ON HOLY TERRA, DON'T ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT NON-LETHAL MEANS?"
I take a running leap towards the nearest besett sister (whether it be Elizabeth, Florencia, or some random one)
"IT'S LIKE THIS!"
I ROAR, Take out forceblade to disarm the nearest opponent
"AND LIKE THIS"
And take the now disarmed sister to task with a swift blow of the pommel of my forceblade and a backhanded swipe at whatever deamonbound sister is standing nearby, haymaker

"AND LIKE THIS!"

I say grabbing an opponent squarely by the pauldrons and bringing her face into my upraised knee

>>12835635
"YOU'RE WOUNDED!
STOP FIGHTING SO HARD!
KILLING THE BOUND SISTERS IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR WOUNDS WORSE!
FOCUS ON INCAPACITATION"

>>12835635
welp, we were utterly useless
We should probably see to it that Florencia is healed
"You're bleeding! Let me help! I don't like the looks of the blood dripping out of your ear! "

Gah I don't know what to do OP
If I can't get anyone's attention, how are we supposed to stop them from killing the deamon bound?

>>12835842
electro lightining?

>>12835842
We could try some means of battlefield disruption again. We also have a vox if i am not mistaken.

>>12835885
We do indead have a vox-bead. How the hell did we forget this.
>You send the report through the vox bead, the sisters receiving the report through their helmets and their armor speakers. most of them move back holding onto something in the room, or a doorway. The two Canonesses and Living Saint ignore you, however.

>>12835885
Nope, OP said that they wouldn't be able to hear us over the din of battle

>>12835917
Thats because we were trying to yell over the sounds of battle, even psychicly amplified, it will not compare to a little thing in your ear shouting at you.

>>12835911
>>12835932
No, I'm pretty sure OP said that even the vox won't work here

>>12835976
Care to clarify?

>>12835976

They are pissed and frenzied. if they could hear you, they would end up ignoring you

>>12836022
Well then how do we get their attention short of tazering their asses or something along that lines as far as psykic dickery goes

>>12836059
We could attempt telepathic communication with everything in the room. Risky, and given that they are likely to ignore vox comunications, it may be ignored as well. It is however a bit more personal and jarring so it may work.

bout to go out to dinner.

you guys would have found out what going on already if you had stopped discussing and focused on playing.

Also you may want to listen to this person: >>12833391

>>12836613

I sat down today at about 100 posts and this post makes 240

when something doesn't work either find a completely new way to do it, or do something different. Otherwise we get stuck in these loops.

>>12836613
This is distinctly ironic, turns, out what I have been advocating was the way forwards, sometimes you can't save eveyone.
>>12833490
You appear to unfortunatly have been correct. Possibly in both manners.

>>12836693

Yeah. You area overly paranoid sometimes though. heh...

lets get back on track though. we've been drowning in discussion for way too long. I also am about to leave for dinner. try not to get it to the auto-sage point before i get back

>>12836788
Have fun at your party then, we'll just bump to keep it alive.

Well, Alpharius, what do you think of this clusterfrack?

>>12838015
Well, Omegon, among other things we seem to have run straight into the wall of crushing inevitability.
It seems extremely unlikely that we can stop this fight. We would do much better if we could find a means of subverting its purpose, i.e. find out why it is happening and working out how we can stop the intended effects. Filigree may be a good source of information on this, as may the farseer.

As for the clusterfrack? Well...I have been advocating an unpopular path for a while. The direction that the current anons tried to take the quest would have been interesting if they had succeeded, however, you can't win everything and this time they lost.

im back guys

>>12838264

Mind you I havn't rolled for your ability to purify the posessed sisters, only your ability to get the attention of the normal ones. and srsly, with the speech you made with how many degrees of success, and how worked up they got, nothing short of godly badassery and a natural 20 could get you to change their direction.

anyway lets continue shall we? been trying to up the quality of the descriptions so its time to get crakin!

>>12838391
I had a feeling that the speech had backfired a bit in that regards.

>>12838391
The speech wasn't even aimed at them!
Jeeze me and my big mouth
Ah well, I guess we just have to do something awesome to make up for this

>>12838462
Aaah are you the guy who wrote the speech then?


But anyway, I suggest we get filigree to go and help one of the pairs of sistes, whilst we either take care of the other pair or something.

>>12838462

its better than the sisters being lethargic and getting slaughtered

>>12838391
Alright so what is our next action?
How many corrupted sisters are still standing?
I'm thinking a nice bio-electric storm is just what the doctor called for in this situation

>>12838520
True, but it isn't very helpful if by their ferocity they're plpaying straight into the cunning plan of whoever's pulling the strings

>>12838532

who says thats chaos's cunning plan? I said something was wrong.

>>12838521

about half the corrupted seraphim are left. Very few normal sisters have fallen. You have no idea how many non seraphim are left or how that battle is going.

also brb couple min gotta do sumthin

>>12838532
We didn't know that at the time. At the time we did what we thought was best, now we have to live with the consequences for better or for worse.

But regardless, a bioelectric storm sounds good, though how much control would we have over that? As we really don't want to hit any loyalists.

>>12838582
Well, I suppose that would depend on the success of the roll, but, if it wasn't for the battle pitch and all the sisters going "BLOOD FOR THE GOD EMPEROR, SKULLS FOR HIS GOLDEN THRONE!", we could probably tell everyone to assume duck and cover positions

>>12838642
Somehow I don't see them doing that either.

We could try a bioelectric storm near where sister anna and verity are, they are trapped in a corner, so if we do it part way out of the corner, we can avoid zapping them and instead get their assailants.

>>12838677
Nah man, as long as their not the tallest people in the room, they should be fine
I'm worried about Florentia more then anything else really- brain bleeding is never a good sign

>>12838692
The only other group who may need help is elizabeth and sonja.
Problem with florencia is that she may refuse psychic healing she was apparently very close to shooting us when we woke up, and we havn't spoken to her since.

>>12838742
I was afraid that her wounds may, in fact, be psykic in nature
Overflow from all the emotions and such like

>>12838692
Aaah, unlikely her brain thats bleeding, thats almost certainly sonic damage. Think concussion, it may have blown out here ear drum or something.

>>12838815
Right, so, as far as actions go, try to scream, GET DOWN as loudly as we can on the vox channels (for all the good it will do)
Then zapity zap?
Then check on Sonja and Lizbeth?

>>12838869
Sounds like a plan. It may be worth getting filigree back up and running first though, she may be sulking after we snapped at her. That way, we have someone near, us who can keep people from attacking us, whilst we prepare to emulate emperor palpatine.

I've just had a though....people really wanted to get the fighting stopped. Technically we could do that with a big enough bio-electric storm. I just wouldn't want to be anywhere near the sisters when the recovered. I never said it was a good idea mind.

>>12838911
Same thing I was going for- 'lectric storm to knock everyone out
I don't know if we can order anyone around that's not standing directly in front of us at this point, though, considering battle din
(And Filigree should feel bad- we've got to break her of her bad habits sooner or later)

>>12838953
I mean that while we are preparing to unleash those energies, we are vulnerable, and whislt we are unleashing them we are very vulnerable if enemies managed to avoid them. Though I suppose that is what the sisters are for.

(You're probably right, though I can see it being a long hard struggle)

Anyway, do you want to write up a first person reply? As it was your plan after all.

>>12839027
>>12839027
(it's doable- much moreso then a tzneetchian or khornate deamon considering the way slaaneshis simply crave attention and stimulation. Simple Pavlovian response will eventually win out in the end)
"IF YOU CAN HEAR ME- GET DOWN!" I shout, knowing how very little good it will do
I edge away from Florencia (god emperor knows how she'll react to me healing her, let alone shooting friggin' lighting bolts out of my fingertips) and enter the tranced like state of Biomancy, my attention focused on reworking the very shape and form of the flesh that makes up my body, amplifying natural connections, urging the sparks that make up my intelligence and reaction to fly from their accustomed homes through bulging sacs of liquid forming underneath my skin, and finally to reverberate and ground themselves in the flesh of the deamonbound sisters (though not to much- I still only want to knock them out)

>>12839140
(I am now imagining pavlov doing the bell experiment with filigree, the mental image is rather ammusing)

>>12839181
(You see, the deamon is in an unstimulated near catonic state with these blinders on, but when I ring this bell- No, down girl! DOWN!)

>>12839140

The posessed sisters scream, some in delight, others in agony. They claw at themselves, many stumbling into other sisters or falling out of the air only to crack their necks on the ruined mosaic, or to be dragged down and slaughtered by the sisters.

A small handful though did survive, falling around the outskirts of the sisters, clutching at themselves, laughing and crying in ecstatic agony.

>>12839320
Goddamit why do they keep killing everyone?
Frack, the last group is ours
We're soloing them in unarmed/nonleathal combat- hopefully that'll be enough awesome to snap the rest of the sisters back to normal

>>12839320
Is it still too loud for people to hear us?

>>12839366

the sisters are too frenzied to care what you have to say. even if you were talking in their ears.

We really should have seen this one coming...

How many corrupted sisters are still up and about OP?

(Day 6, Daemon rang bell D:)

>>12839415

Honestly I was hoping that a frickin' INDOOR ELECTRICAL STORM
might have been enough to snap them out of their bloodlust

>>12839412
How do we unfrenzy them?
Because this maimburnkill thing is getting old fast
(fuck is this what it's like to work with Khornites?)

>>12839430
Frenzy is all consuming and blinding, I'm hoping it fades when there are no more enemies, as there are at least a few sisters who really do not like us.

>>12839468
Right, would asserting dominance over the pack by beating the living snot out of the remaining chaos sisters work you think?

>>12839468
(also, no wonder the Eldar bugged out on us- I know I wouldn't want to be a xeno in a room filled with frothing Sorotias)

>>12839515
Well that's one way of putting it I suppose.
At least this way we should get some sisters to interrogate/purrify.

>>12839415

not many. just the ones on the fringes that are down.

>when something doesn't work either find a completely new way to do it, or do something different. Otherwise we get stuck in these loops.

You're still the one running this show in the end. It's part of your job to push it along when it gets stuck.

I charge full tilt at the last standing group of corrupted sisters attempting to get to them first. Weapons swinging I cut through most of them before beating down the last survivor with the pommles of my swords!
Once that's all done try and perform a psykic attack on whatever's posessing her just to test if it's possible to break her loose.

>>12839320
I dive out to the last group of possesed sisters, dropping into an agressive stance
I assume the Post De La Falconia and block incoming blows from high, lashing out violent with my booted feet
I knock weapons out of hands or cleave them in two
I dodge under guards reaching out and tackling while measuring out suitable amounts of armored fist and bio lightning
I scream at the top of my lungs
"THIS
IS
NON LETHAL COMBAT!"

>>12839761
...

>>12839761
>>12839716

... reread the post before... they are on the ground writhing in agony and ecstasy... already incapacitated...

>>12839837
In that case we should restrain them before they awaken.
How are our sisters doing OP? Anything that stands out from a survey?

>>12839837
Oh
Then Restraining time!
Lay on hands purification time as well!
But first, calm the fuck out of the remaining sisters- I don't know, release calming phermones?

>>12839901

like i said in the post, they are busy slaughtering the ones who fell too close.

>>12839943
Well lets first look at how the sisters are reacting to a lack of enemies. And how the named sisters we know are doing.

We probably don't have much time, there are still the daemon puppet sisters to come if i recall.

>>12839837
>>12839954
Now is time to fire rounds into air and get peoples attention
"GODDAMMIT ALL- WHAT ARE YOU, CULTISTS OF KHORNE! KNOCK IT OFF, ALREADY!"
Yes?

>>12839989

You amplify your voice again, shooting your inferno pistol in the air, felling an ancient chandelier. It was enough of a shock to get the sisters attention, your accusations of heresy quieting them, though you seem to have upset quite a few with your comment

>>12840133
... That went better then expected
"You're Adepta Sorotias, Sisters in Battle, the Emperors wives, the finest and most elegant in battle the Imperium of man has to offer short of His Blessed Astarts-
SO STOP BEHAVING LIKE A BUNCH OF UNDERHIVE JUVES HOPPED UP ON SLAUGTH AND START ACTING LIKE SISTERS!"
Goddamnit I need a cigar
"Come on, help me bind these Seraphim before the next wave hits- and by bind I do NOT mean Brutally murder, condemning innocent souls to the eternal hellfires of the warp!"
"You and you! You have so much energy to dash out your sisters brains, why don't you help lift that rock and try to SAVE some of them!"
I rush over to the nearest alive fallen sister, and toss my inferno pistol over to the nearest sister
"Here, I'm going to save your comrade in arms life. If I start jibbering about the warp and how it's a good pain, give me the count of ten and then give me the emperors mercy,"

>>12840133
... goddamnit, I'm going to have to pay for that Chandilier, aren't I?

>>12840217
Then lay on hands purification?
Yes?

"Filigree! Sister Verity! Help get the fallen sisters restrained- sedate them if you must- but I want them alive!"
(G'night OP Going to bed)

>>12840217

(im going to assume you said Daughters of the Emperor and not the Emperor's Brides/Wives because the latter is one HELL of an insult)

You successfully bind the last 4 sisters, each one of them struggling fruitlessly to move. Now that you were closer and not fighting, it was easy to see the damage Chaos had wrought on their broken forms.

Many of the sisters were turned away from them, unable to look at the harlots. Others were wandering about or doing something to distract themselves. Something still felt off though... It was oddly quiet, despite the warp storm.

>>12842406
"Tessa, Filigree! Help me get them to a secure location before the next wave hits us... am I the only one or is it eerily quiet for a chaos invasion?"
(Maybe the Eldar have been successful in destroying the critical number of warp generators?)

>>12842438

no warp generators on this planet. this is all raw chaos.

>>12842460
Ah, sorry. I though all those other planets with warp generators were powering the assault on Ophelia VII and that the other Eldar forces are trying to destroy those, thus cutting the local chaos forces off from their reinforcements.

>>12842406
Yeah, I knew it was one of those two, either the daughters or the brides.
Well, I suppose that's okay thanks for catching that OP- now
....
Wait, only 4 of the fallen sisters survived?

>>12842482

The planets with warp generators spawn daemons as a side effect. the generator's purpose is to pull the planet into the warp and create a mini eye of terror. destroying said planet will destroy the portal but you have a hundred or more chaos sisters charging up the stairs below you ready to kill you so just because you dont see them right now doesn't mean chaos isn't there.

Also, Chaos didn't do it to this planet because they want to take it by force as an example

Clear things up?

We're autosaging anyway...

>>12842506
Let's figure out an action for the new thread first
Try our best purificiate one of the fallen sisters?

>>12842406
"Well, what are you lot lolling about for? I'm sure these gigantic stained glass windows need boarding up- so that way we won't have a repeat of this situation or the one with the cultists on the flying discs?"
Are the rest of the chaos forces still making their assault? Try to discern what, if anything, is happening
Once we've concluded that the rest of the building hasn't fallen to cultists are gotten sucked into the warp, move onto the fallen Sisters
(srsly, there are only four?)
Lay on hands psykic double reach around mobius purifiction is a go

>>12842406
>>12842506
"Well- what are you waiting for? Emperorsmass?
There are several hundred forces of chaos below us- the sisters that look like walking planks of meats you can kill, their personalities have been completely stripped bare by deamons.
The others, however, should be left alive, at the moment- at least until I've finished exploring the exact nature of their binding."
Where's Filigree and Rowdan when you need them?

"Cannonesses- now that you're not in the middle of berserker rage and only moderately likely to kill me rather then certainly- did you happen to notice anything as you gaily slaughtered your way through your former sister in arms? Perhaps the fact that, for deamon controlled warriors, they seemed to go down rather easily and without much fight?"
