>>12975487
What about Evangela?
Filigree I assume is still unconscious but stable
The inquistor lord?
"Blessed Martyr Esme- I do not know the extent of your powers, but please, help me save these women. If you think you can do anything, anything at all- please?"
I'd think that, depending on the extent of her healing powers, whoever has the biggest punch should go to Anna, the other to sister caramel.
To the group clustering around Filigree- "Oi! YOU LOT. Why don't you help Secure the perimiter if you're so anxious to blamm the heretical. There are plenty of deamons who want to kill you at this point, so if you don't want to help her, concentrate one of them."

Alright, time to hustle
Gorram, I hope we didn't use up too much of our will power with all the psykic shenangians
....
we can always use that cellular control power if so, though

I survey the grim scene stretched before my eyes
"You wouldn't happen to have any healing powers, among your miraculous arsenal, would you?"

Alright, I'm assuming Elizabeth is stable at the moment, and that Florentia still hates our guts

>>12975525

They glance about nervously before scurrying off, unsure of what else to do.

Esme goes first to sister Anna, placing one hand gently on her forehead, speaking quietly with Verity. The hospitaller lowers her eyes and responds, Anna's body glowing a moment later. Esme slowly stands and walks off to tend to the wounded.

You wern't aware Evangela was behind you until she spoke. "Never have I borne witness to such faith... I believe I have misjudged you Inquisitor. Seeing Filigree for what she truly was..." Her face became cold. "I'm sure you had your reasons, but I do not think I will ever fully understand them."

Esme crossed the floor to the Inquisitor Lord, kneeling next to him. She had completely passed up sister Caramel.

>>12975673
hey hey HEY
WHAT ABOUT CARAMEL
Gorram
I head over to Caramel, and try my best to heal- if I cannot save her, then I can ease her passing
"Evangela, as I said before," I reply over my shoulder "I do what I must- I would never ask for your approval, only to understand. Like with Caramel -speaking of which, a little understanding, and some help?"

>>12975673
... Hopefully that was enough to save Anna.
We'll concentrate on Caramel
Also, where is Tessa and why is she not glomping her angelic female husbando?

>>12975673
"She provided staggering amounts of information about the Archenemies plans. I daresay that if it weren't for her, things would have gone even worse for us all, even considering our current state of affairs.
Also, have you never taunted slaaneshi deamonettes? They are the most entertaining to toy with by half."

>>12975673
"Misjudged me about what? The faith or the deamonette thing?
If it's the deamonette thing, well, you have to understand that as an Inquistor sometimes I have to bend the rules a little to ensure the safety of the Imperium.
Trust me, if we hadn't had Filigree by our side, things would have gone much worse."

>>12975847 >>12975778
>>12975751 >>12975740

Filigree groaned, sitting up slowly, placing one hand on her head. She slowly rose to her feet, reaching over and detaching the entire lightning claw gauntlet, letting it fall to the floor. Disoriented, she looked around. Her eyes focused on you, and she limped over, unconcerned about Evangela. She rested her chin on your pauldron, whining. "I hurt in my everyplace..."

You roll your eyes and pat her on the head, walking off toward Sister Caramel. Filigree stands there for a moment before trotting after you, trying to get away from the rapidly angering living saint.

You kneel down next to Caramel. Her sash and hair have been completely burned off, shards of armor sticking out of her flesh at odd angles. She was bleeding badly, her skin charred and blackened through visible through the huge chunks of missing armor. She turned her head toward you, smiling weakly. "How'd I do?"

>>12976252
"Apart from exploding in a ball of flames? Better then I could have ever hoped. You've earned your penance a thousand times over."
Lay on hands heal.

>>12976252
"You've done well Sister Caramel. More then I had any right to ask of you."

>>12976252
"Sister Caramel... I, yes. You've done very well. Now, please, save your energy and let me heal you."

>>12976252
"Very very good Sister Caramel. I'm so proud of you.
I'll be even more proud of how well you've done if you manage to live though."

>>12976252
"Fantastic- the way you boiled the black harlots eyes in her skull. Simply a masterstroke.
...
I'm sorry that I've cost you so much,"

>>12976346
>>12976383
>>12976482

She closed her eyes, resting her head. A silver gauntlet reached forward, catching your hand gently. "Let her go Delessa..." Esme's voice was a whisper. "She's done enough in this life... Let her rest."

Filigree stayed back, fidgeting a little bit. She wandered off toward Verity and Anna, looking for something to help with.

>>12976779
".... I can save her.
I can save all of them, if only I have the chance."

>>12976779
"I, I'm sorry. Caramel- you've earned your rest a thousand times over. Do you want it?"
I'm going to keep up the healing energy while doing this
If Sister Caramel truly wants to leave this world, well, at the very least I'll make sure that she doesn't die alone

>>12976779
>>12976779
Oh god, Filigree in deamon form helping tend to the wounded?
That'll give whatever recuperating sister a goddamn heartattack when they see her loom over them suddenly, even if she is bearing splints and bandages

>>12976779
"It's not fair Esme. She deserves better. Nothing like this should happen, not to people like her.
I want to giver her a second chance, to help her. You can't tell me that the only place she'll find happiness is in death. It, it shouldn't be like that."

>>12976779
"If that's what she wants so be it. She deserves more then to die with only the haunting voices of a deamon.
Sister Caramel, whatever your decision, know that I will be here for you. If this is truly goodbye... then it was the honor of my life fighting alongside you."

>>12977049
>>12976906
>>12976805
>>12976843

Sister Caramel was quiet for a moment. "Unless you have need of me..." She looked like she might have continued speaking but Esme laid one hand on her armored hand gently. "Hush now. You've done your duty."

The tainted sister relaxed, closing her eyes. A hospitaller pushed past you, giving her a shot of something to dull the pain, shooing you and the other sisters away.

Esme nodded once and turned away, pulling you with her. "That damn girl isn't going anywhere..." she murmured, "It's verity and Anna I'm worried about... Anna was... well... Her mind was shredded worse than her body, and that is something I cannot fix."

>>12977189
"How so?
Is there anyway I can help?"

>>12977189
psykic mind meld to fix the damage?

>>12977189
"Well, the mind isn't really my speciality- I'm good with wounds and of the flesh.
Hrmm- most thought structures are based on neurolgical pathways. I'm certain that I can do something to help."

>>12977189
"So, powers of healing are strictly physical then, rather then telepathic?
Interesting.
I've dabbled a fair amount in the field of the minds, maybe I can do something to help?
What is the matter with Sister Verity? Is she taking Annas wounding badly?"

>>12977234
>>12977219

It's not that easy Inquisitor. I suggest, however, you remove Filigree from the situation. Verity does not appear to be enjoying her company. That and Florencia is about to wake up." She glanced in the direction of the Canoness in question who was being tended to by her squad of seraphim.

Looking around, You notice Sonja had moved to Elizabeth's side, helping the twins tend to her.Galatea had gone to help the Inquisitor Lord. He had lost a lot of blood and would probably be out for quite a while. Various sisters were drifting around the room, whispering prayers for those who fell in battle. You couldn't imagine the death toll planet-wide... system-wide...

The Farseer approached you. She only had two Warlocks, a Great Harlequin, and the Warp Spider Exarch left of the forces she had brought. She... Did not look pleased.

"I'll leave you two alone..." Esme slipped away, the sisters whom she passed bowing at the sight of her.

Rodwen stopped right in front of you, her eyes crackling with electricity. "I don't know what I should do Inquisitor. Binding a daemon? Was it the stupid act of a lust-driven mon-keigh, or was it a selfless act of valor to save your world? If I had to guess? A bit of both."

>>12977249

(fixing minds shredded by the raw power of the warp is not an easy task. if it was less damage Esme would have done it herself)

>>12977423
"I'd argue with you if I wasn't so godamn tired, and you weren't right anyways.
Yes I binded a deamon. She proved pretty damn useful and I think in the long run that it was better that I did then if I hadn't.
I suppose this means no black library for me, huh?"

>>12977423
>>12977437
(well then what are we supposed to do?)

>>12977423
"Would it make it any better if I said I was pretty sure you'd never find out?
Look, Rowden, I'm not some soppy cultist who will be driven mad with the temptation of forbidden pleasures. I have Filigree on a very short leash- it's very easy to get her to behave if you know which buttons to push."

>>12977471

The farseer's lip twitched and her eyes strayed to Filigree. "We'll see... You did somehow manage to train it, seeing as it attacked its own kind. Thats something I've never seen a daemon do."

You saw Tessa and Esme out of the corner of your eye. They had moved off to a somewhat isolated corner of the room, the exalted martyr holding the chainsword loving sister gently.

You could feel the weight of events pressing down on you. You were tired.

"If it helps, I didn't summon filigree."
"I bound a daemon that attacked my ship as a means of getting information"
"Filigree was the one who worked out how the portals worked and what their target was likely to be"
"I am aware of the consequences of this, but it is a price I willinginly pay to protect the imperium"

>>12977595
"It was easy. Slaaneshi deamons crave stimulation, both mental and physical. All I needed to do was to reward her when she did things I liked with fine art or literature and punish her with sensory deprivation and boredom when she acted badly.
Also, it helps that I treat her less as a means to an end then an actual person with feelings and desires ."

>>12977595
Gorram, I need a fracking smoke.
"Will you need help collecting the soulstones of your fallen comrades, Farseer Rowden? It's one of the few things I think I can do to help you right now. Anything you want me to do?"

>>12977595
"Speaking of said deamonette, I think I should remove her from this situation before someone decides to kill her.
Again."

>>12977671
>>12977660
>>12977643

She was quiet for a long time. "That is... intriguing Inquisitor... As for the soulstones they have been collected already." She took out the cigar case. "And I believe this belongs to you."

>>12977730
I wave her off with a sigh, running my fingers through my hair.
"Keep it- good faith and all that. Besides, I honestly doubt that this battle is over. At the very least, if the deamons don't kill me, they will" I say, indicating the Sisters at large. "You think you were upset about Filigree being a deamonette? And don't even get them started on your own presence here."

>>12977730
"Thank you for keeping this safe for me, Rowden.
I look forward to our next meeting- hopefully in less.... deadly and insanity inducing environs."

ok guys OP cant stay awake anymore. We made a lot of progress but its sleepy time

>>12977875
FINALLY
Thanks for letting me know OP
If you hadn't, I'd be stuck here refreshing the page until my classes start at 8 AM

>>12977875
How badly did we do OP?
Are things salvageable?

>>12977900
Can't have been too bad, we did survive after all.

>>12978116
I still feel like we missed something
That there was something we could've done to make things come out better

>>12978316
I think we simply had a lot of terrible rolls this time.
But I agree, we never went through with the Inquisitors plan for example. Also, we didn't manage to get a banshee waifu.

>>12978634
Well, we never got a chance to spend an extended amount of time with banshees
If we had, we would've gotten one, you can bet your bottom dollar

Bump

Bumping like it's 1999

>>12981396
>>12981402
Seems like I was not the only person waiting for it to hit page 8....

>>12981428
Nah just came back from class

>>12977900

sortaaa... some of those rolls were "holy shit how did they fail that?!" but your waifus survived in the end (sorta. Elizabeth nearly bled out and is critical and Anna is sorta... a vegetable)

I seriously expected at least one to die considering how absurdly difficult i made these rolls.

still possible to save them.

>>12980036

Have you looked for a surviving banshee yet? no. No you have not. I let the dice decide these things.

>drives teasta

I assume you mean "Tessa" capcha. You need to work on your spelling. And i'm fairly certain its obvious what drives tessa.

>>12981488
Alright well- it's obvious that our attention should go to Elizabeth next
then search for survivors amongst the rubble and the destruction of the battlefield
... Hopefully banshees

>>12981488
Even Anna?

(Also, IC, let's get Filigree away from the sisters ATM)

Somehow, I don't think we will be getting any more eldar waifus. I think the revelation as to what filigree is, has scuppered that.

I think we should deal with filigree before florencia wakes up, either get her back in her disguise, shoot her, or get her out of sight.
We really do not want florencia seeing her, she came very close to shooting us over the daemon weapon if you recall.

>>12981544
I think the boats already sailed on that option chief
EVERYBODY knows filigree is a deamonette, including Florencia

>>12981560
Point, I managed to convince myself that because florencia was unconcious, she wouldn't have known.
Forgetting of course the rather large battle we just had where it becamse common knowledge. Derp.

It may still be worth getting her out of the way, the sisters do not like her after all.

Gorram, we're going to get chewed out by everyone for the whole "Filigree is a deamonette," thing, aren't we?

>>12981601
How do you propose that? Shoving her in a supply closet somewhere?

We still talking to Rowden IC?

>>12981609
Yep.
>>12981618
Now there's an idea....
On a more serious note, we either keep her near to us or we find something for her to do, away from the sisters. We still don't know whats happening outside for example.

>>12981488

fyi i have no idea how you would save anna and elizabeth i just figure you guys might think of something so unexpected and ingenious that it will work. you've done that several times already.

I'll list some of the most epic crazy rolls i've made a little later

>>12981644
Ooh, sounds like fun
Battle report too?

>>12981513
>>12981526

You make your way over to Elizabeth. She was pale and very cold. She had lost a lot of blood, her breathing shallow. Sonja was stroking her hair gently, her face guarded.

Filigree meandered over, putting her chin on your shoulder. She was restless. "Quizzy... I'm getting murderous looks... Verity threatened something I don't think even the Emperor's children could think of..."

(i'm doing this a bit out of order. I'll have rodwen ask again in a moment. It will be a bit more appropriate then after you've done all you can do)

>>12981644
Well, if Elizabeth is bleeding out, we can always provide the necessary blood because lolbiomancer
As for Anna.....
Hmm, I may have an idea involving Filigrees lash of torment. It allows the wielder to feel what the victim feels, and amplifies, right?
What if we used Filigrees lash of torment, or at least part of it, to help directly feel what Anna feels, see what she's thinking, and perhaps reverse the feedback of the whip, so that we can fill her with peaceful, holy, healing thoughts

>>12981694
"Hah- verity has some spunk. Filigree just roll with it for the moment- they're not actively dousing you liberally with holy promethium so you've got that going for you. Just continue to act as non rapist as possible, and we should be good."
I turn my focus to the wounded women, probing the wounds of her flesh, sealing and repairing where I can, gauging their extent. It looks like she's lost a lot of blood- well, biomancy can be very helpful in situations such as these, my regenerative powers basically make me a walking blood bank.
I turn to Sonja as I roll down a sleeve, and give her a weak smile. "Don't worry- I'm here to help, believe it or not."

>>12981714
I can't think of a quicker way to have the sisters turn on us than that. The moment we suggest that, we are going to piss off quite a few of them.
It's a daemon weapon for one thing, and whilst it allows the wielder to feel what the victim is feeling, it also causes immense pain.
The plan would also involve having filigree think peacefull holy thoughts, she doesn't really do that.

I am strongly against this as I really think it would cause more harm than good, not only to Anna. Interesting idea though.

>>12981771
Who says Filigree should wield it?
I'd say we cought of a tentacle from Filigrees lash and try to do biomancy on it, see if it's at all reactive to our powers and if we can't exploit it
As far as pain goes... well, we could be on the receiving end on the whip rather Anna

>>12981714

lashes of torment injects venom (Most likely a mixture of hormones because its not actually toxic) into the victim that overstimulates nerves and then the lash transfers that into pleasure for the wearer.

also, sisters are anti-psyker, and with a daemonette do you really think they'll let you biomancy them better?

>>12981644
Elizabeth: As the other anons have already suggested, I'd think our biomancy powers might save our ass here. Having Esme nearby, calming the warp, should help as well.

Anna: She has been brain raped. Although I appreciate the irony if Filigree should be the key to saving her, I'd like to ask the Farseer first.

We should also get the Seraphim to scout for survivors, I'm sure not all of the are necessary to tend to Florencia.

Filigree: If we can't take care of her at the moment, ask Esme to watch out for her. It might make our Damonette feel a bit awkward but that's still better than getting killed.

Anything else?

>>12981843
Would they rather their friends die?
....
Don't answer that

I think we should send filigree scouting, she is the most likely to survive going outside. It gets us information, and it gets filigree away from the sisters.

>>12981860
Filigree and Esme on a wacky feel good adventure of the century
She's an overstimulated deamonette, living the high life with the Inquisition
She's a young girl fresh out of schola gifted with the ability to use the warp for the Emperors powers
Together, they fight heresy!

>>12981763

Sonja caught your hand, her eyes boring into you. "I will not have Elizabeth tainted by your psykic trickery. Inquisitor or no, you are still nothing but a witch."

>>12981874
This would be glorious.

>>12981874
>>12981874
>>12981874

Greatest... Reality show... EVER!!!!

>>12981890
"... Sonja, for the love of the emperor, after everything we've been through, do you really think that I would do anything to hurt you or the people you love? I want to help Elizabeth- she needs a blood transfusion, or she will die. You know this to be true. Right now, witch or not, I'm one of the few people who can help save her."

>>12981890
God damn, I want to grab and shake her while screaming "WHY. DOES. EVERYBODY. HAS. TO. BE. SO. LAWFUL. STUPID?"
But that wouldn't help a thing. Maybe if we could get Esme involved? Compared to us, she's the alpha witch.

Well this is going well. Why did the inquisiton send the sisters a psyker, they must have known it would cause problems...

What's our medi skull doing? Is there anything it could do?

>>12981890
I stare back
"Sonja, you're stressed- you've been on your feet constantly for the last twenty four hours. You've been in live fire combat scenarios and have seen comrades fall. You're not thinking clearly at the moment and are letting the battlelust color your decisions. Please, for both of our sakes, let me help Elizabeth."

>>12982005
Their sisters, they hate psykers.
Thats why they don't want our help, not becuase of stress, but because of indoctrination.

Alright, alternatives
Use biomancy to gather the necessary blood from recently made corpses?

>>12981952

(how you succeeded this roll i'll never know...)

Sonja was quiet for a long moment before backing off. The twins didn't say anything, Elizabeth. They knew this wasn't their call.

You could hear the silver winged angels stirring. Florencia was probably waking up... You probably wanted to get the support of Galatea or drag Esme off of Tessa if you wanted to survive your next encounter with her.

You begin focusing on replenishing the sister's blood. You couldn't do too much, psykicly exhausted as you were, but when you were done she looked a lot better.

Filigree hesitated, tapping you on the shoulder. "Quiizzzzyyyy... I can't change back unless you unbind my powers for a little while."

>>12982027
I think stress may be a large part of it ATM though
everyone is on edge

>>12981959
>Well this is going well. Why did the inquisiton send the sisters a psyker, they must have known it would cause problems...

in b4 Eldrad

>>12982038
"Mmrm, what's that FIligree?
Unbinding? What would that entail? You really think it's necessary at this point? The slynkbeast is out of the bag at this point."
(Oh look the bitch is back)

>>12982061

we're assuming you know how to unbind her powers for such a situation. You are an Inquisitor after all.

keep your priorities straight though

>>12982038
"Thank you Sonja. This may not be easy for you to accept- but you have my gratitude. Now, Elizabeth needs you. Go to her."
Alright, time to ease off the powers

>unbind my powers for a little while
This is a really bad idea...
Whilst she's in her natural form we can use her to scout about outside which could be useful, and her combat effectiveness is increased whilst she is like this.

Florencia has almost certainly already seen her, as have the rest of the sisters.
So having her change back strikes me as a wasted effort.
They know what she is and hiding her form is not going to make them hate her any less.

>>12982091
Unbinding would mean letting Filigree run around free, though, right?

>>12982135
None of the restrictions we placed on her would mean anything anymore.
She could turn on us to guarantee herself our soul.
The sisters would then kill her, but she would have what she wanted.
>Yep, the paranoid alpharius is back :D

>>12982038
"If you think it's necessary Filigree, sure."

class now then i'm off to the store with a friend to pick out a hard drive to fix my Desktop PC with (i've been on a mac laptop because for some reason i dont know why the graphic art for my job has to be done on a mac and not a PC. Something to do with file format or some BS.) so i may not be back for some time. we'll get the ball rolling again when I'm done.

in the meantime go vote.

>>12982135

no unbinding her powers would still keep her bound to you but she'd have access to her daemonic abilities

>>12982180
Really, really bad idea. If we wanted to rebind her, we would have to go through everything we went through back on our ship.
The rituals in and of themselves are likely to annoy any sisters that witness them, its daemonology after all. What would happen if we wern't quick enough and florencia saw them?
We are being far too trusting and naive here.

>>12982208
Ah, I misinterpreted what unbinding entailed.
What precisely would we have to do to unbind her?

>>12982180
We helped all wounded Sisters as much as we could.
If we decide to allow Filigree a bit more leash, we should do so outside, maybe while looking for survivors. Her daemonic abilities should come in handy, I'm pretty sure daemonettes have some sense to find wounded prey.

>>12982237
I like the way you think

Alright, first check, is anyone going to die around here if we don't intervene immediately?
If no, then unbind Filigree and go scout for survivors, ask Carol and Coral if they want to tag along

How long until OP gets back to us, you think?

>>12982960
2 or 4 hours class I guess and x hours of shopping in addition to that. 7 pm 4chan time?

>>12982237
>>12982620

You look around. As far as you can tell, no one is in immedeate danger. You should probibly let Verity calm down before trying to help Anna out if you wanted to keep your head attached to your shoulders...

You stand quickly, patting Verity on the shoulder, informing her of your intention to seek out survivors.

She pouts a little. "But its cold outside and..." She glanced around frowning. "Ok i'm coming..."

You invite the twins along. They seem hesitate but agree, following you.

Galatea stoped you before you leave, plaing one hand on your shoulder. "Be careful Inquisitor... There are still daemons out there." The Farseer slid up next to her, handing you a small stone with an eldar rune on it. "We collected the soulstones of our fallen comrades within the building but several are not accounted for. I don't know if they live or not, but regardless, this will glow when you near their soulstones."

(still here for a bit while i wait for my friend)

>>12983014
>Varity
(I think you meant Filigree OP
Also, that was quick)
"Thank you Galatea. I'm certain that I can handle whatever I come across, though. You Sorotias move fast though, eh?
Speaking of moving fast, do you think you could have a few words with Florencia when I come back? She's liable to rip my head from my shoulders in her current state."

>>12983107
(Huzzah!)
Alright, as soon as we get outside I release the binding on Filigree
"Be careful, okay? I don't want to see you getting hurt again."
Look over at Carol and Coral
"Any of you, for that matter."

>>12983014
"Not coming along for the adventure Rowden?
Heh, I don't blame you.
Any place you think I should check first? "

We should probably grab a medkit before we go, seeing as we're tapped out on psykic powers ATM

>>12983014
(Fucking firefox just ate my reply grrrrr...)

"Thank you. Would it be possible to provide me with the last known locations of our troops? If you know any fallback locations for the wounded, both human and eldar, their locations would be appreciated as well. Farseer, anything I should know about Eldar physiology if I should happen to come across a wounded warrior of yours?"
After heading outside.
"Filigree, after I've released your bindings, will you be able to sense injured troops? By focusing on their suffering or something like that? Will other daemons be able to sense your presence and no the thread you pose?"
To the twins:
"Everything alright with you? We didn't really have a chance to talk."

>>12983135

yeah i meant filigree.

I can do one mroe reply before computer repair starts

>>12983972
Well, don't leave us in suspense OP

>>12983988
....
Gorram OP left us in suspense

>>12983204 >>12983190
>>12983135 >>12983155
>>12983224

Galatea nods. "I'll talk to her... We'd probably all be dead if Filigree hadn't helped out."

You grab a medkit. Better safe than sorry.

You release the binding on Filigree. Almost at once she stretches like a cat, flexing her hands, letting them become claws. "Mmmmhh... Thats much better!" Her aura hits you pretty hard but you straighten up, not letting it show. You ask her about finding anyone who is injured.

"Well... Yes I could. Not recovering any bodies though... OH! LOOK GOLD!" She scrambled over to some sort of shattered piece of art, picking up little pieces of the precious metal, mumbling about impurities and what she could make out of it...

This was going to be harder than you thought...

The twins looked at each other, and then back at you. ""What can we do for you, inquisitor?""

ok going now bbl

>>12984233
"My god, she's worse then Tybalt."

>>12985475
Just woke up but I guess "Start kissing each other." isn't really a productive answer to their question. So let's try this:

"You knew the individual deployment plans much better than I did - Any ideas where to start?"
We should also take a look at the Eldar GPS.
"Filigree, considering you had no small part in saving this world, I may consider allowing you to keep one pice of art of your choosing, within reason, if you continue to be well behaved despite having your limitations removed."

We might also want to ask the twins about the battle, which one of the sustained the injury and if they have anything they'd like to talk about with us. No first person here because I just woke up and whatever parts of my brain are responsible for translating thoughts to English aren't really there yet.

here for a little bit while we get my new hard drive working.

>>12985611

Filigree darted over to you, grabbing you in a hug and squeezing. "You mean it Quizzy? Do you? Thank you! That would be amazing! Yes please! I'll be good!" She smelled really good...

You shook your head and pushed her off, asking Carol and Coral about the battle.

The twins look thoughtful, fidgeting a little bit. The murmur to each other for a moment, finally looking up at you. "Inquisitor we normally don't tell anyone this but...""Considering all thats happened..." They look uncomfortable. "We don't know who was hurt.""We... errm... have a mild psykic connection with each other.""Not enough to do anything with it, but enough to get us thrown out of the sisterhood.""It's not even detectable by other psykers.""Unless some form of trauma befalls one of us.""We both experience it and lose any sense of identity.""Happens during combat too."

They paused. "We think Florencia knows already.""We've never told her.""Please don't say anything.""We worked hard to get where we are."

>>12985959
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. It's not exactly as if I am in any position to judge."
Smile at them warmly.
"I doubt Florencia suspects anything, I have got the impression that she wouldn't tolerate such a slight deviation from your codes. Nevertheless, I'm glad you made it through this so well."
Turn to Filigree who's probably already inspecting any nearby decorations and tries to decide what to take.
"Filigree could you please reassume human form? I'd be rather upset if some lone survivor decides to do their duty to the Emperor by blowing themselves and the daemonette that just discovered them up."

>scroll past quickly
>last sentence looks like "There were several sisters clustered around in negligee, nudging the unconscious daemon with their bared breasts, blah blah blah blah blah."
>Click IMMEDIATELY.
>Not porn storytime
>reread sentence

OP, I am saddened.

>>12986093

The twins looked relieved. ""Thank you Inquisitor.""

In the short time of your conversation with the twins, Filigree had found a shattered vase and had completely reassembled it. She was currently sliding on one of the smaller slivers when you addressed her, breaking her concentration, her creation coming apart again.

Filigree puffed herself up, trying, and failing, to look intimidating. She held herself like that for a moment before letting out her breath in a huff, slumping down, clicking her claws. "But... fine..."

She shifted almost instantly into human form, but any psyker with half a brain could still sense her daemonic presence.

>>12986165

Im sorry anon. Its for the best anyway. I doubt Delessa wants to share her daemonette. don't want her getting hooked on things she cant have on a regular basis.

>>12986180
>Where has everybody else gone?
Why must Filigree be so deliciously trollable? We don't even have to make any conscious effort anymore.

Smile at Filigree's display.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we might find an even nicer puzzle for you."
Check our surrounding are, if nothing catches our immediate attention, see if the Eldar locator-thing does anything.
"Well then, let's head out. Any ideas where we might have the best chances to find any survivors?"

>>12986274

(but isn't it cute? It's also better than how canon daemonettes act. Read the most recent daemons codex. srsly. damn. they act like middle school girls at a slumber party.)

The twins shrugged. "We could scout overhead.""We'll tell you if we see anything."

Filigree looked around. "Any direction is as good as any other. But the collapsed buildings might be a good place to start. Also, I'm still hungry Quizzy! I mean... I don't NEED to eat but I'm bored..."

>>12986274
I would contribute, however I really need sleep...

Also, I hope filigree doesn't notice that her soporific musk has been affecting us, she is mischievous enough as it is without her needing a new weapon.

>>12986342
(Sorry, my sister has a doctorate in nano physics, you can imagine how many middle school slumber parties I witnessed.)

"So you are saying there could be nothing of interest for you on the second most sacred world of the Imperium? And all you'd have to do is look for it? But I guess you're right, nothing of interest could have come here in the last 10000 years. You can got back to reconstructing vases while I'm out here having adventures in the post-apocalyptic landscape of hidden dangers and treasures. If anything exiting happens I'll tell you when I'm back. I'm sure I'll even discover some dirty secrects of the ecclesiarchy not even the inquisitions knows of."

Start moving to a collapsed building that looks like somebody might have survived in it.

>>12986358
Nah, that's cool. /tg/'s pacific time zone population is just relatively low compared to the American, which has mostly gone to sleep, and the European, most of whom aren't up yet.

>>12986342
I turn to Carol and Coral, and ask "Do either you have any ration bars on you?"
Hungry deamonettes are not a good thing, especially when they have a lash of torment
"What are you hungry for Filigree? (If she says souls I will be so very cross)"

>>12986857
I guessed she is hungry for knowledge and excitement. She's been formed from curiosity, if I remember correctly.

>>12986411
>>12986857

Filigree hesitated before bounding after you, moving rubble. She moved quickly, shifting rubble, looking for people.

You ask Carol and Coral. "We have rations.""We don't like them.""Not sure what it is.""Its a brick.""Agreed. And disgusting.""Agreed."

They pulled out several small tins, each containing a solid block of brownish protein mash or something that was supposed to be good for you.

Filigree took one, wrinkling her nose. "Err... This isn't food... I don't even think this is edible."

You ask her what she wants to eat. The grin on her face makes you really wish you hadn't. Her voice dropped an octave. "I'll give you three guesses Quizzy, and the first two don't count."

She turned, resuming her digging, but the smile stayed.

The twins whispered. "Inquisitor""You're blushing."

You are both very glad and disappointed they agreed to come with you

>>12975487
Nearly gave me a stroke while I was scanning over the front page, the name Anna made me think that /g/uro quest had returned-

randomness over, carry on.

>>12987160
"It's her daemonic aura acting up - now that's she's temporarily unbound. Nothing to worry about as long as you know it.
So let's hurry, I'm sure there's somebody out there needing our help. Do you know if there was an orbital comm station around here? I'd like to know what's going on in orbit."

where is everyone?

bumpin

>relicel vegetable

Never heard of that veggie before captcha. Lotsa vitamins i would think.

"I...er...it...it's nothing"
"You mentioned scouting ahead, it's a good idea, so give it a go. However don't stray too far, if something happens, we want to be able to get to each other fast."

sleep time

>>12989779
Brilliant timing, I just woke up.

>>12987160
"It's, erm, nothing. Just Filigree being Filigree I suppose. Still, nothing to be concerned about.
Carol, Coral- do you think you could do me a favor when we get back? Tybalt my cyberhound has been disabled by all the fighting- Elizabeth and Sonja had been seeing if they could whip something up as far as repairs go, and I thought maybe you'd like to give them a hand?"

".... Let's get going, shall we? No use dallying about. So- Carol, Coral, do either of your jump packs still work? If so, maybe you could do a little advanced scouting for us. We have a lot a ground to cover, and not much time to do so in- I'm thinking that we should head towards the collapsed building. "
I should keep the eldar spirit stone detector out and see if it glows any

>>12987160
"How have you two been holding up?"

bumpan, for great justice!

ok i gotta tell you guys this. I have the fuckiest dreams. I dreamed i bought soulstorm, it turned into a fucking spaceship, and I started shooting down nazis. it also involved some weird dimensional jumping stuff that i don't quite understand anymore.

All it was missing was a tea party with slaanesh and the floor turning into optimis prime. (that happened in a different dream)

hello /tg/ this is quite useful for getting rid of the PUDDI stuff with out messing with any other flash
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/91669

>>12991282
Space nazis have long been proven to exist by SCIENCE!.

>>12990171
>>12990112

They nod and bow slightly. "We would be happy to help you make repairs to your cyber mastiff.""I miss Tybalt already. He was a good boy"

You ask them to scout ahead

""Of course."" They activate their jump packs an take off, separating once they were high enough. it occurred to you that, although you asked which one was injured, you still weren't sure which was which.

You look down at the stone. It... was glowing faintly.

Filigree peeked over your shoulder, hugging. "What is that Quizzy? Can I have it when your done with it? Its very shiny. I like shiny. I could turn that into a very pretty belt. Would you like a belt? Grox leather can be surprisingly nice if you dye it correctly."

Emperor... Why did she have to be so close?

bump?

>>12991387
Ah, found it
"I don't think so Filigree- this belongs to Farseer Rowden, and I think she would like it back after we're done using it.
It is rather shiney though- when it glows like this, it means that there may be Eldar nearby .
Help me look for them, will you? Eldar have ever so many shiney things."
Where are we, exactly?

>>12991387
"Not at the moment, no Filigree. Though if you like, I'm sure I'll be able to set you up with a small craftshop later on, if you like making things. Here, give me hand sifting through all this rubble and I'll get you a diamond to play with later on- there may be survivors nearby."

>>12991758
Sorry, got banned for posting a file mirror in the dawn of war thread. And using TOR is a bitch.

>>12991927
>>12991942

"Quizzy... My NAME is Filigree. Of course I like making things. Our names reflect our services to the palace." She slid off your back. "I'll gladly help you find survivors! Lets go find those eldar!"

(fyi the thing glows near soulstones not necessarily living eldar)

>>12991387
"Filigree, this really isn't something that you should make a belt out of. I need it to find Eldar survivors- and I'm pretty sure it may be a powerful warp artefact of some kind.
Speaking of survivors, do you sense anyone around? I'm pretty much tapped out as far as warp power goes at the moment, and I don't think going through this impossibly large building is feasible given the time."

>>12992029

Filigree stopped moving, looking around slowly, concentrating. "Basement. There are people in the basement." She pointed. "I think the entrance is buried over there."

>>12992008
I use the stone and start looking, seeing in what direction it glows brighter
"Really? I didn't know that. I always thought deamons were just, well, mindless abominations, pure malice given form and called into existance from the eternal malestrom of the warp.
Tell me more.
What do you do in your free time?
Are there deamon kingdoms? Planes of stable existance? I always thought that the court of Slaanesh was a metaphore- does it actually exist?"

>>12992105
"Alright, let's start shifting stone then. Which are more useful? The claws or the hands?"

>>12992105
"Alright, let's get to work- hopefully we'll be able to move most of this by the time the twins get back."
Check inferno pistol, curse silently when we remember we used all the ammunition- it could have melted through most of the stone like butter

>>12992105
Where are we at the moment? before we were on the third floor

>>12992105
"Can you tell me anything else about them? And how deep would you say the basement entrance is buried? As it may be quicker to just melt our way through with the inferno pistol"
I move over to where filigree gestured and begin digging through the rubble

>>12992152
Ah, I'd forgotten that we'd used all the shots...
We really should have grabbed some reloads.

>>12992220
Did we really use all our ammo?

>>12992251
For the inferno pistol- our bolter pistol still has plenty of psycanon rounds.....
which we gave to Elizabeth
Crap

>>12992301
Great.
Did we at least pick up our psyblade after we threw it at Miriael?

>>12992315
Yep - and the sollex blade
Plus our psykic powers
Between all that and Filigree we should be fine
We should be fine
Reminds me- is Filigree still in armor? I assume she's wearing that Rosette at least

>>12992322
No psykic powers ATM- we're charging on those after helping Elizabeth stabilize

>>12992322

If we really can't get through to them, we can also send the twins to get some more melta ammo. Being able to use their jump packs, they should be able to get it rather quickly.

It may be worth voxing the twins, it could be handy to have some sisters on hand for when we get to the survivors, reduce the chance of them attacking us due to filigree antics and all that.

To the anon in the other thread, you know the one I mean, well played, this should be ammusing.

>>12993215
>To the anon in the other thread, you know the one I mean, well played, this should be ammusing.

Actually, I don't

>>12993215
Meh Carol and Coral should be fine- and Filigree shouldn't get that out of hand
Besides, I want to bond with them
>Thanks Alpharius. Just think of it as Delessa Kravos, the early years. Will you be joining the threads later on?

>>12993284
The anon I'm talking about will know the one i mean, it's a shout out to them. They have sneaked our beloved inquisitor into another quest as the acolytes boss. We're keeping quiet and awaiting their realisation.
>>12990306

>>12993337
Almost certainly, I want to see how this plays out.

>>12993364
well, seeing as how our OP is being sluggish, how do you think it will play out?
Your opinions on how well we did in assignments?

>>12993548
I'll discuss it in the other thread. >>12993619
We need to make sure we guide the development of delessa so that it fits with this, if there are two of us about, it should be easier.

>>12993637
Should be fun

Bumps for the bump god.

WHY CAN'T I STOP F5ING?

>>12995114
May i suggest the tab mix plus plugin for firefox, it allows you to automatically refresh pages periodically.

.... goddammit, I'm addicted to the internet

sorry got dragged away for computer repair and such. didn't have access

not your fault op

>>12992120

"Claws would... But we don't want to scare them, right?" Her tone was sharp... "And I have no idea who they are, or if they are hurt or not. I just know there's someone down there."

"And what do you mean Quizzy?" She shifted some rock way too big for any normal human to move. "Of course the Palace of Ecstasy is a real place. The realm of pleasure consists of its own environments covering vast areas of the warp and leading right up to the defensive rings around the palace. The building itself is huge and ornate with many floors. The top one is the throne room. A cavernous space so massive that you can barely see the master's throne from the entryway. Only the greatest of daemonettes are allowed near the throne. The heralds." She picked up another huge rock, tossing it to the side. "They get to comb the master's hair... give massages..."

She had begun to space out. "It's not fair! I do good work. I never get any closer... Plotting and scheming... The other daemonettes are just craftier... and luckier..."

>>12996464
Shift rubble
"Plotting and scheming is more Tzneetches area of expertise, isn't it?"

>>12996464
"I imagine that there are stairs down to the basement, and that you would have time enough to shift forms before being introduced. You do whatever you feel most comfortable with, but at the moment time is of the essence."

>>12996464
"Luckier? How so?"

(and now I have to go OP)

>>12996464
"Are you sure it's not a metaphor for the turbulent and capricious nature of the human soul?
No?
Damn, there goes my scholum Senuris thesis.
So, tell me more about this place then. What is it made out of? Warp energy? Brick and stone?
What is the rank and structure like- you mentioned heralds?
What do you do in your free time? Are you gainfully employed as craftsmen, or farmers?
Tell me Filigree-I'm curious."

>>12996464

"It sounds like you still miss that place a lot. Has it really been that bad with me?"
Puppy eyes, full force!
"Well, anyway... let's continue getting that rubble away."

>>12998802
>>12996558
>>12996503
>>12997733

"Course not Quizzy. This world is much better. There's nothing ever new going on at the palace. Everyone is either in the middle of some giant orgy or snorting cocaine. Gets old after a couple thousand years. Besides..." She removes a large slab of concrete. "You're here and not there. It would be more tolerable there if you came back with me."

"And yeah... The daemonettes who can sit closer are the ones who don't get shot in battle or the ones who manage to find something that slaanesh likes or whatever. Mostly luck. A little skill."

She hesitated, a steel bar in her hands. "And... sorry about your paper Quizzy. If it makes you feel any better, everything in the palace is ALSO a metaphor."

This thread archived?

>>12999489
"Ah, so it's zen then?"
Huffing and puffing lean back from the exertions
Jezum crow, this isn't as easy as it used to be - especially without power armor or any of our psykic enhancments

>>12999489
>>12999489"
"it's alright Filigree- really, it was a hundred years ago. I honestly doubt if matron Meldona is going to rise from the grave and track me down to issue me a scolding for improper research... well, at least I hope she won't.
So- what kind of things does slaanesh like? "

>>12999489
D'aaaaw
"Thank's for the offer Filigree- but really, I'd like to stay out of the court of the prince of pleasure, if possible. I honestly doubt that I'm making any friends there at the moment."

Delessa Kravos - the early years is going on NOW

>>12999287

>>12999675
I'd guess we are at least providing solid entertainment.

>>12999589
>>12999667
>>12999675

Filigree puffed up her cheeks again. "Oh come on Quizzy. I know they'll like you there. I wont let them make any new holes. I promise!"

She calmed down, working to move a huge sheet of metal. "Slaanesh likes pretty much everything... It's easier to name the things it doesn't like... Failure, for example..." She shuddered.

Tossing another rock to the side, she cried out in surprise. "Quizzy there's a gap here."

>>12999704

FYI There will be a quest after this one revolving around Delessa having to deal with Filigree. It will be like a grimdark reality TV show

Only with daemons and horrible horrible warp shenanigans.

oh, and more epic inqusitor plot and waifu collecting.

also, sleep now

>>13000110
That should be ammuing. Will this be occuring when we die and end up in the warp?
Or will we be still running around the galaxy in the best buddy movie of the century?

>>13000110
Looking forward to that quest.

>>13000361
>>13000448

no. This arc is almost over. You survived ;P

then you get to grab hold of Esme again and then things will get insane.

Because Esme is practically a god in her own right! What could I possibly throw at you to make THAT challenging. It will be cake! Right? RIGHT?

>>13000038
"Excellent, well done. Now we need to widen it, if we have found some sisters, there is no way they are fitting through that gap whilst wearing armour"
I move over to the gap, crouch down and peer in.
"There any survivors down there?"

>They don't need to know precisely how we found them after all, so a pretense of asking for survivors should help avoid awkward questions.

>>13001670
0_o How did we manage to do that...

>>13001719

Esme has been vouching for you. If crazy holy divine god emperor touched sister says your cool and tolerates your pet 'nette then nothing bad is gonna happen to you

>>13001769
On that occasion - did you already throw the punishment for the retcon at us?

>>13001719
Sounds good to me.

>>13001780

already tried >.> I gave you a saving throw because i've been away so much and you fuckin nuked that role (nuke is good.)

>>13002530
Details! Don't make me beg...

>>13002550

Well... I guess I should say I gave Anna, Florencia, and Elizabeth saving rolls.

>rolled 1d10 for waifu death, got 3
>assign each waifu a number and use diceroller to determine which 3 (Tessa was not included in this. She's not your waifu. She's Esme's)
>each waifu got a saving roll (1d20 18-20 they live)
>Florencia got a 20, Anna got an 18, and Elizabeth got a 19

pic very related.

>>13002599

sorry. 1d5 for waifu death. 1d10 is excessive and cruel

>>13002599
Ahhh, so as anna roled the lowest, she is is in the worse state. Elizabeth we managed to save and florencia was fine.

>>13002599
>>13002609

I see. Thank you for replying. Oh, and before I forget:
:D

>>13002674
>>13002684

Yeah. Could you do me a favor though, you guys? Could you stop giving the Random Number God BJs or something? because this is getting ridiculous.

fyi Caramel just failed her defensive roll...

I'm also drawing Caramel so i'll have that up eventually.

>>13002779
If there was ever a goddess to worship, lady luck is the one it seems.

Hasn't enough bad stuff happened to caramel? The universe seems to hate her....I'll be interested to see what she looks like after all this.

>>13002779
>fyi Caramel just failed her defensive roll...

Umm, what does that mean in gameplay terms?

Does she now lose hp until treated properly?

>>13002892

no i just meant that her injury with her backpack exploding was not a part of the bad thing that happened

>>13002947
Ah, ok. Slight misunderstanding on my part.

If you are awaiting a response OP, we have one that two people have agreed on.

>>13001719
>>13001976

>>13003052

no i'm actually in class. normally i can ignore the lecture but i had to pay attention today. between classes now. working on a reply

class now. almost done. will finish when i'm out

>>13000038
"Good, good! Here- do you think either of us can fit through? The sisters?
Hellooo, is anyone down there? You have no need to fear from us. We're friends."

Wait, I thought Anna and Verity were Esmes waifus
Are we sharing?

>>13003670
>>13002599

I'm actually more surprised that Florencia is listed as a waifu. It's like tsundere without the dere. And a lot more tsun. She's also rather old!

>>13003796
I know right? Considering how much she wants to kill us, I really don't know how we're going to get into her pants.

>>13003828
Getting into her pants? I don't have the slightest idea how we could be in the same room for 5 minutes without either Delessa or Florencia getting killed by the other.

Keep an eye peeled for any holy relics, or anything that looks particularly impressive- every little thing will help
Also- where are we exactly?

>>13003850
Maybe she hates us sooo much that it's gone round the bend and become angry love and grudging admiration?
Like she'll try to kill Delessa, but you KNOW the fight will end up becoming angry angry hatesex

>>13001719

Filigree began widening the hole, shifting huge amounts of rock with amazing speed. "Quizzy come over here and help me out!" She caught a piece of rubble before it fell. "There's sharp stuff down there and I don't have any shoes on."

(i had a long reply written but it got deleted. i'm a little too distracted to write it out again)

>>13004540
"Alright- I'd expected your feet not to mind rubble, but I'm sure I kind find a nice cobbler or blacksmith to get you a pair of shoes for your feet, or hooves as the case may be."

>>13004540
"Right- where should I lend a hand?"

>>13006564

( in demon form filigree has taloned-ish feet and "walks on her toes" if that makes any sense i'm too tired to think of the actual term)

>>13007743
Makes sense at least visually
Hrmm, anything we can find that'll fit her as far as footware goes?
Also- as soon as we have a moment, I'd like to do a quick check of self and filigree as far arms and armament goes

>>13007743
(she's digigrade, not plantigrade.)

Page 10 bump

>>13007777

She can't wear shoes at all in demon form. She's back to human guise now though

>>13007851

thank you anon. Ever since I got my PC running again i've been trying to fix it. You know. Recover old shit etc. Exhausted.

>>13009561
What did you lose OP?

>>13009616

nothing uber. just the usual problems. horrible horrible virus. lost some boot DLLs that kinda thing

HD was 7 years old anyway. Needed an excuse to replace it.

Windows 7 is very shiny. Trying to get older games to work on it is a bitch though. That and reinstalling all of my old programs.

On the plus side I can now go back to raping my opponents in UT04

>>13004540
"Alright, alright, watch your step. And be careful, this rubble is precarious, the last thing we want is to be trapped too "
Check stone, see if it is glowing any brighter - maybe these are the eldar we're looking for

>>13009649
>>13009649
Sounds good
New PCs are always cause of both heartache and celebration

>>13007235
>>13006564

Filigree finished shifting the rocks. "You go down there and check for survivors. I'm going to go get my boots really fast. I left them back on the third floor of the capital building when I changed back."

>>13009737
"Do you think it's a good idea to go alone?
Who knows what could be lying in wait somewhere."

>>13009737
"Alright, but maybe you should wait for Carol and Coral to get back first- I'm sure one of them can accompany you, or fetch it much faster along with some other supplies that I'll be needing."

>>13009737
Right, cave exploring time. I wish we had twinlinked (ducttaped) our inferno pistol with a flashlight or something.
Take out the soulstone- that's a source of light, and if there are eldar survivors down there, it'll grow brighter as we get closer
"If anyone can hear me, respond if you can."

>>13009798
>>13009774
>>13009762

Filigree ruffled your hair. "You're so cute when your concerned for my well-being." She jumped to her feet and scampered off, moving fast.

You call down into the basement. You don't get a response.

The locater stone isn't glowing any brighter.

>>13009856
HEY
WE DO THE HAIR RUFFLING AROUND HERE
....mumblegrumble
Alright, there's no place to but down in this case- I watch my step, just to make sure that I don't trip over anything, step into a chasm, or miss anything important.
What does it look like down here as we make our descent? Any signs of fighting?

>>13009856
If we have time, say
"Of course I care for you Filigree- it's because I love you.....
like a sister."

Call the twins. I don't like being around all those other sisters and Florencia on her own.
"Carol, Coral. Could one of you make sure Filigree doesn't have any "accidents" while she's getting something from our base? Also, be so kind to remind her to bring some ammo for my inferno pistol. Thank you."
They're wounded, so lets be careful and switch on the flashligh on our armour. Or nightvision or something like that, ready our blade and descend. Let's hurry, there are probably more survivors waiting to be rescued after these.

>>13009922

We had the exactly same idea, except better worded, a few threads back. We decided not to because Filigree might collapse from all the trolling and we need her in high spirits at the moment.

>>13009922

I don't think that would stop Filigree

>>13009938
>>13009856
Only if they're done scouting. We don't want to interrupt them while they're doing something important

>>13009911
>>13009938

You radio to Carol and Coral and they agree, signing off quickly to concentrate on their flying.

Your flashlight revealed one hell of a mess. Debris and shrapnel littered the area, all of it sprinkled with shattered glass. A tactical nightmare.

>>13010129
Right watch your step. The last step is always a doozy.
Any indication of this damage being created through direct firefight, or was it through general structural damage?
Any signs of who might have ben down here? Scraps of clothing, spent amunition casings, etc.

>>13010129
I guess our warp batteries are still exhausted?

>>13010129
What kind of debris?
How far down is it till we reach the basement?

>>13010187

The damage around you is completely structural. No signs of a fight.

>>13010251
>>13010129
Well then, there's nothing to it I guess but to start looking and thank the emprah we have boots and armor.
"Hello?"
Try to remember the Eldar word for help or hello. I think mercy is maybe Dannan?
We feel anything intruding on our psykic presence, or are we completely in the dark there as well?

>>13010129
Anything vaguely humanoid in that mess?
Start looking is my suggestion

>>13010129
>>13010251
"We found your lifesigns with our auspex, so unless you want to die in here give word so we may help you. We've got other survivors to look for."

I guess OP fell asleep.

>>13010408
>>13010366
>>13010290

You start looking around. Your head hurts a bit too much to use your psykic powers, but you don't have to use them.

You called out into the room again looking it over once more. A small sound caught your attention. From the far side of the room. A large cabinet stood there, partially buried by rubble. You'd have to clear some if you wanted to open it.

>>13011231
Understandable
You guys want to call it a night?
Maybe pick this up at Eight AM chan time?

>>13011237
Before we open the cabinet, knock on it- use the old
"Shave and haircut, no legs," routine and see if anyone completes it

>>13011237
Well, we'd better start clearing then
What's this cabinet look like anyway?

>>13011237
nothing to it but to start hauling ass
"I'm clearing away the rubble. I should be able to get to you in just a tick,"

>>13011321
>>13011367

The cabinet is tall and made of wood with a pair of double doors. It was probably used at one point to store long coats, capes, and robes.

You hear another sound coming from inside. A voice. "We hid in here when the daemons came but then the door wouldn't open. What happened?"

sleeping now

>>13011606
"It looks like structural damage to the cathedral shook loose some tiling. Should have you out in a minute though."

>>13011606
"We won. I really don't have time to explain it all to you. Wait inside until I ask you to come out."
Start removing the debrist. When finished prepare to be jumped by a daemon in the worst case.
"You can come out now."
If they're friendly bring them outside and hope that the twins have already returned.
Can't waste too much time.

>>13011630

you're not in the cathedral. your in another building thats nearbyu

>>13014311
The one that was mind crushed by miriel, by any chance?

>>13014362

no that one was completely sucked into the warp. nothing left behind probably.

Also, OP I just read part 1. You are horrible for what you did to Tessa.

i'm ready when you guys are ppl.

>>13015272
I think we're ready.
We have two responses, just assume they are reffering to the building rather than the cathdedral.

>>13015272
I'm here. One of the older replies in mine.

>>13011630
>>13013473

You managed to shift enough debris to get the door open. The inside of the cabinet had a ring of wards meant to block any and all psykic activity. They had been broken when the cabinet was hit with falling rock. These wards are why the warp entities didn't bother checking the cabinet. They couldn't sense anything inside.

Crawling out slowly was a sanctioned psyker, garbed in fine, but dirty robes. Her head was shaved bald, the psykic enhancing and anti-perils implants that she had been given powered by several tubes leading from her skull into the back of her robes where she presumably wore a power pack.

Crawling out after her was a tech-priestess. She appeared to still have a human arm and one of her eyes was still flesh. She had on a large metal power pack, wires hanging loosely from one side. She most likely had a mechadendrite at one point that she had to remove to fit into the cabinet.

The psyker spoke. "You have no idea how happy we are to see you, Inquisitor."

>>13015539
"You two are lucky to still be alive given what's been going on."
"It's fortunate that we went looking for survivors as well otherwise you may have never gotten out"
"Why were you in the area? Do you of anyone else who may have survived?"

>Well that psyker isn't going to be fooled by filigree's disguise.
>Fun times ahead :D

>>13015539
>"You have no idea how happy we are to see you, Inquisitor."

"You know, when I began serving the Emperor's Inquisition... being discovered by an inquisitor after showing cowardice in the face of the enemy wasn't considered a good thing." Grin like the cheshire cat.
"Well, I'll think about what to do with you later. For now you're drafted into the relief effort. Your names and a brief description of your abilities that might help find and possible save other survivors, if you please."

>>13015669
>>13015649

The psyker spoke first. "I'm Chloe. I am extremely sensitive to psykic activity around me and so I am employed by the ecclesiarch to check any novice sisters for psykic abilities. I live here."

"And I'm Fortran. I service the holy machines from The Dark Age of Technology that reside in the cathedral." She stood and dusted herself off before continuing, the psyker doing the same. "Chloe called me over to work on some of the holy machines. Shortly after I arrived, she nearly had a seizure, and the warp storm and daemons began appearing."

Chloe continued. "I made this cabinet a long time ago to shut out the psykic activity around me if it gets to be too much. I had to use it once when Fortran was here and so she got me down and into it before the fight."

Fortran fidgeted, looking ashamed. "I would have helped but I have no combat experience..."

>>13016044
>Psy-scanner and excavation tool. Excellent

"I see, well there are more pressing matters than executing the first 2 survivors I found. Let me congratulate on living through this, seems like very few people did. You should repay the Emperor's mercy by hurrying up and helping me."
Start moving to the exit.
"Fortran, it seems like you're missing some equipment. Is that still around here and salvageable?"
"Oh, and Chloe? You're in for quite a surprise. You'll know when you see it. Now let's get moving. Any psychic signatures nearby you can sense? We're looking for both humans and eldar."

>>13016177

Fortran turned and sifted through the rubble, pulling out a mechadendrite. It had a large clamping arm on one end that could flip back to reveal a soldering iron and blowtorch. She checked it for mechanical damage, before working to reattach it.

Chloe fidgeted as she worked. "Is it a good surprise or a bad surprise inquisitor?"

You could hear the faint whine of jump packs outside. Carol and Coral must have just landed.

>>13016260
"Hmmm, depends what you make of it. Could be a bit shocking but nothing you'd actually have to worry about.
I'll be waiting outside."
If the twins have arrived:
"Coral, Carol I'm glad you're back. I hope everything went smoothly?"

>Questing all by myself is no fun :(

>>13016313

you want a picture while you wait? I'll draw something

Caramel is done btw i just need to scan it since i did it traditionally.

>>13016400
>Filigree stands there for a moment before trotting after you, trying to get away from the rapidly angering living saint.

Something like that would be nice. But you really don't have to.

bump

>>13016504

>>13017253
Great! Thank you very much. To nag the tiniest bit, I had hoped for a really annoyed Evangela in the background :p

However, it is a horribly slow day, isn't it?

>>13017253

srry i left in the sketch lines.

>>13017280

i'll put Evangela in later. I wish i saved it as a photoshop file instead of just a jpg.

anyway i'm going to my local GW today because i havn't been in a long time and i need a warhammer fix.

Wish me luck if you want, i'm sill going to lose.

>>13017377
Not the slightest problem.

>>13017396
I'll keep my fingers crossed. I'm heading off to bed if you're going to be gone for a few hours.

bump, why not.

>>13016260
"I'll explain in detail when I have the chance- just remember that everyone I associate with is here to help, above all else."
Give her a reassuring pat on the shoulder.
"In the meantime, help your friend and I'll go revendous with two others of my helpers- Carol and Coral, sisters of battle. They've been scouting for survivors at the moment. Twins. They tend to finish each others sentences."
Go up the stairs.
"I've found two survivors- a psyker and techpriestess. I hope you two have as good news as mine?"

Bumping from page 8.

Another page 8 bump.

OP: I enjoy your story type thing. Thanks for running it.

>>13016313

The twins shook their heads. "Some troops are scattered around.""They didn't need help though.""They are heading to the center anyway.""They are looking for survivors."

Filigree bounded up next to them, wearing her boots. "Florencia tried to hit me with her hammer but she was too mad to swing straight. It took seven sisters to hold her back! It was hilarious!"

Carol and Coral fidgeted. "We are just glad Galatea was there to get the thunder hammer away from her.""We had to lock her in the cathedral's dungeon until she calmed down.""She bent the bars.""It was terrifying."

>>13021942
>""She bent the bars.""It was terrifying."
:D

"Well, I am glad that all of managed to get back here unharmed. Did you bring the ammo?"
Wait for the two survivors to appear.
While pointing at the respective person
"Carol, Coral, Filigree - these are Chloe and Fortran. They managed to survive the fight and will help us find and save other survivors."
"Chloe, as a psyker who isn't totally drained from the last battle, can you sense any survivors nearby?"
"Fortran, do you know if there were any communication arrays around here? It would really help to reestablish communications with the ships in orbit, if any remain. Maybe there are some other survivors on the planet."

>>13021942
So, how went your game of warhams?

>>13021942
Smile weakly, turn to our new companions
"Yes, Florencia. Erm, she's rather, enthusiastic in her job. As a psyker, I'd avoid her Chloe.
Alright- any idea of where there could be possible survivors trapped or unable to find?"
Hrmm, take out eldar soul stone, head in direction it shines brightest
"I think others may still need our help."

>>13021942
"Any civilians?
And I hope I can assume that the eldar and imperial forces aren't killing each other?"

>>13021942
If other troops are looking for survivors, the only advantage we have over them is when it comes to finding Eldar. Let's try to find some by using the farseer's device.

>>13022068

Was against dark elfdars

my rolls started out as fail and then started doing better. then suddenly they went epic and I actually did quite a bit of CC damage.

and, yes, i got to "burn the witch"

>>13024574
>Burning wyches
That made me smile a lot more than it should.
Did the imperial forces triumph despite their losses?

>>13024574
As a dark eldar player, I must say this.
Though we may not feast today, one day we will have your soul. :P

Don't mind me, just waiting for OP.

>>13024703
>>13025669

'twas a tie actually. sorry i intended to post last night but i crashed hard. also we're about to start, or we are autosaging.

>>13026711
Even ties against any kind of Eldar are a good thing. There a billions of humans in the galaxy and maybe a few million eldar left.
