Wait... we saw a winged statue in the previous thread right? Flickering darkness? Lights going out? A fucking library?

please dont be Dr Who villans... please don't be Dr Who villans...

>>13107212

Hey! Who turned out the lights?

>10-1 Preffave

>>13107243

FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU I REMEMBER THAT EPISODE!!!!!

I finally catch up with the quest, and now we have to deal with silent hill shit.

great

Can I hang out with you guys?

>>13107162
"Fortran, do you have any lights built into you? Filigree, can you tell me anythig about this?"
Additionally, now would be a lovely time to start a reassuring prayer or chant to keep spirits up.

rolled 4, 1, 1, 4, 5 = 15

"Alright- I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that it's not safe here. Quickly, the others should be on the third floor."
I turn to chloe.
"Damnit it girl, keep it together! Remember your training! Whatever it is that's pushing in, keep it out!"

>>13107455

you should read your post before you post it...

bump

bump!

Pyromancy would be really usefull right about now. But that is not going to happen, so lets see what we can do.

We're a biomancer, we can increase the sensitivity of our senses, in this case dark vision would be really usefull, and if i recall it is not a partcularly streneous use of biomancy so we should be able to do it with our almost tapped out ability.

Another possibility is that we get chloe to use the psychic power torch.
It is not associated with any discipline, it is a minor psycihc ability and a very low threshold one at that.
If we combine this with us using the psychic ability Inspiring Aura, another low threshold minor psychic ability, then we should not only be able too see what we are doing, but we bolster everyones spirits. It also has a rather fun side effect. And I quote;
>They may also feel compelled to say nice things about you. Which is nice.

>>13110851

casting my vote for the second.

I'm almost afraid of what we'll see... Especially if these ARE dr who villans

need to go to class. will post when i get home

you guys, we're tapped out on psykic powers at the moment

bump

finishing up some schoolwork. damn finals...

Bumping for the Emprah

Ultramarines came today.

Let me start by saying, with the exception of the Space Wolves and several obscure chapters I dislike space marines.

I liked this movie. It exceeded all expectations I had for it, despite the poor CG.

anyway i'm back now and done studying for the night. back to the quest

>>13118316
Really? Color me surprised

>>13110851
>>13107455
>>13107377

A light on Fortran's shoulder flips up and Chloe takes a deep breath, murmuring a litany of strength.

You ask her to use torch. She complied instantly, raising her arms and calling forth light. The combination of psykic light and the flashlight were enough to touch the corners of the room. Covering the floor in several places was a swirling, writhing darkness. As the lights increased an angry chittering sound began filling the room, starting low and gradually rising in pitch.

Filigree squeaked softly, grabbing hold of your arm.

Fortran's light flickered and went out. Chloe's light began to fade. "Somethings draining my powers..."

Carol and Coral meep softly, moving behind the group and pushing you all forward. "No time to waste.""We must make a report.""The Exalted Marytr may know what's going on.""Either her or the Farseer."

>>13119126
"Alright, alright, this break is getting way too creepy for me anyway." I say, and making a mental note to ask the twins later on what drove them to this panic.
"Alright, quickly, but ordered- try to keep your lights on. I don't know what this thing is, but since it hasn't attacked us yet I don't want to stick around long enough to give it the chance."

>>13119271
Seconding, discretion seems the better part of valour right about now...

"Alright, Chloe, how much longer can you keep the psykic light up? If you feel like you're going to be tapped out, we'll just bolt for the exit now. "

>>13119126
I turn to Filigree, whispering "Do you know what those are?" while, with a gesture, I indicate the swirling dark before us.
"No? Okay then, let's hoof it!"

I'm remind of that scene in the Matrix just after Neo sees the cat deja vu then the police bust in.
RUN UP THE STAIRS.

bump

Bumping.

It is better to bump for the emperor than to sage for yourself.

awake now...

>>13119271
>>13119508
>>13119705

Chloe concentrates harder, the light brightening a bit. "Not long..."

Fortran moved ahead, heading toward the next room. You were a ways from the stairs still and the next room seemed to have some light in it.

Filigree puffed out her cheeks and grabbed you, pulling you close. "I'm faster than you Quizzy. If there's trouble, I can pick you up and get out of there before the trouble knows what happened."

The twins followed directly behind, their phase swords glowing enough to provide some light.

You heard a hiss and a chunk of writhing darkness dripped down near you. You risk a glance up. The entire ceiling was covered in it...

>>13126029
"Thanks, but I couldn't leave anyone behind."

Otherwise, that black stuff has me at a complete loss.

MOVE IT!! GO GO GO!

>>13126029
"You are just getting sweeter and sweeter, aren't you? I appreciate the offer, m'dear, but I'd like to keep the other girls alive as well."
I give her arm a small squeeze,"But if things get too hairy, I need you to run and warn the Sisters. They need to be ready, and they might be able to save us."

>>13127223
Oh, and I second the motion of running to the next room.
I don't think we will be able to die gloriously for the Emperor with this darkness business, and I'd like to live long enough to give our waifu her 'reward'.

>>13126029
Burn it all with our Inferno Pistol.

"GLORIOUS AND RIGHTEOUS FLAME PURGE THIS EVIL!
FOR THE EMPEROR!"
* burn and run *

>>13127272

(inferno pistol is a melta, not a flamer)

>>13127272
Also, I don't think that pissing this stuff off is the best idea. We are trying to escape right now.
Wait until we actually know what it is before we go MAIMKILLBURN.

>>13126173
>>13127223
>>13127244

Filigree pouts. "I'm not leaving you behind!" She began moving quickly, dragging you along, the others following suit. The others follow close behind, struggling to keep up.

A bit of the blackness dripped down onto your pauldron. Instantly, the metal hiss, angry smoke billowing form the contact point as the substance ate through your power armor.

You nearly made it to the door when you realized that the blackness had formed a wave behind you, the chittering hum from before rising to a wailing screech.

A loud crack echoed from somewhere off to the side, followed by a backlash of psykic energy that made the darkness shudder, the wave breaking early. It was the warp strider.

"Do not tarry! Go!"

You make it through the doorway in time. Hissing and screeching can be heard behind you, the strider stumbling through, missing an arm and part of its face, burned away by the acidic blackness.

Your pauldron was almost gone now.

>>13127406
Oh gods, help save the strider!

>>13127306
>>13127406

Is a melta like... only good versus metal or armour? I'd assume that fire is fire... and if it's good enough to burn metal, it's even better against fleshy / liquidy bits.

Try and stabilize / help the warp strider. Also see if he can get us out of here. Was he the signal from the crystal thingy what we've been looking for?

>>13127406
Strip that pauldron off, don't want any skin contact.
Foul substance, how will people know we are in charge if our overly large pauldron is gone?
Order somebody to grab the strider, and let's get up those stairs posthaste.
Oh, and I think Captcha is giving us a hint with Filigree: 'bootied this'

>>13127457

a melta is like a superheated beam or something. its not burning chemicals like a flamer is. a melta melts things. it doesn't burn them

>>13127406
Ripping off the infected pauldron we move to save the strider from the blackness.
"Filigree! Can you grab the strider with the lash? If so, hurry!"
If Filigree can't use the lash:
"Don't worry, I'd never allow you to die now." Focussing what little remains of our powers we boost our agility&strength to save somebody willing to give his life for us. We can't fail. Not now.
"Emperor, grant enough strenght to see this trough."
Begin reciting the litany of protection:
"Mighty Emperor, spread Your divine light to protect me from the darkness." Keep repeating that until we've carried the strider to safety.

>>13127512
>>13127457
Straight from lexicanum, so take it with a grain of salt:

Melta Weapons are heat-based weapons which work by sub-atomic agitation of the air. Targets on the receiving end are heated to the point of being vaporised. The effect on flesh is fearsome to say the least, while vehicles can be reduced to molten slag. Most melta weapons use highly pressurized pyrum-petrol gases with a two part injection system which forces the gases into a molecular state, which will vaporise just about anything. Unfortunately, due to the high power consumption and range dissipation, the weapon is only effective over very short distances, but anything caught in the blast is likely to be destroyed.

Although short-ranged and slow to fire, they are prized for their power against armoured vehicles. They are also considered a good alternative to plasma weapons, which are unreliable and capable of killing their user. Besides the roar of the explosive vaporising of the target's moisture, melta weapons themselves make little noise when firing. Given their fairly quiet and very effective nature, infiltrating parties make use of melta weapons to destroy enemy vehicles before they get a chance to fight on the battlefield.

Many races make use of the same basic technology. In the Imperium they are called meltas, and often referred to as 'fusion guns', 'melters', 'cookers' and 'vape guns'. Equivalent weapons used by other races have similar effects, although sometimes completely different technology and methods of operation. Both the Tau and Eldar use melta weapons, primarily for tank hunting like the Imperium.

>>13127542
>>13127457
>>13127480

You get the pauldron off before the substance gets to your skin. You move quickly to help the warp strider but she waves you off with her good arm, wet tendrils of muscle, bone and sinew already starting to slither out from her ragged flesh.

"Save your energy. If a single piece of me survives an attack I shall be whole again in a matter of minutes."

She looked at the door. The darkness had not bothered to pass through. She let her eyes drift around the room. The others hesitated before doing the same. The room was full of scrolls and ink and quills. It was where purity seals were made, as well as where litanies were recorded to distribute. Everything was written, not on paper, but upon vellum or specially made cloth to increase the longevity of the item. Despite this, much of what was had turned to dust. many of the wooden shelves had been bleached and were peeling. The scrolls were dry and cracked, There was no ink left. Everything was caked in a layer of bone-white dust, silent as if undisturbed for hundreds of years.

The warp strider's voice made you jump. "I think... we should move on... I will tell you what I know when we get higher up..."

>>13127695

this is me. Chrome crashed again.

>>13127695
Is it a warp strider or spider? and when did this person appear?

>>13127740
I think the warp strider is the emissary sent by Slaanesh 1 or 2 threads ago.

>>13127695
If a creature of the warp is helping us, I believe that the shit has well and truly hit the fan.
Well, she seems to know what she is doing, best follow her directions.
I grab Filigree and order the rest of the girls to begin running with us.
As we run, I say to the strider,"Fine, I will trust you for now. Though I am curious, why the change in heart with helping us?"

>>13127695
Slap on as many holy protection seals as we can, on every (maybe not Filligree, she might not like it)

The Darkness shant touch us, NONE PURER!!!!

If not: grab what we can and get the FUCK out, follow the Warp Spiders lead.

Can a purity seal ward a door / entrance against evil?

>>13127777
The only thing I have to add would be that we might want to take a few of the scrolls with us. They might be of use and even if they aren't, it's probably good to save some of them anyway.
Maybe we'll be lucky and take something interesting with us.

>>13127850
Sounds like a good idea to me. Holy relics and the sisters always seems to go together, might raise morale.
I don't think we have time to ward the door, though, and I am not sure it would be effective.
Best wait until the strider tells us what is going down.

>>13127775
>>13127740
>>13127815

strider. Warp strider. it is called such because it can phase between the materium and immaterium at will.

>>13127695
"I'm glad you made it anyway." Smile.

>>13127850
>>13127815
>>13127777

You cautiously approach the shelf with the scroll and reach out for it. The strider moves to your side with inhuman speed, catching your wrist. "As much as I dislike it, I believe that survival may depend on everyone present."

She took a coin from your belt and tossed it onto the scroll It crumbled from the impact, the coin instantly aging, becoming rusty and atrophying into a small pile of rusted metal.

"Avoid everything if you can..." She looked down at the layer of dust on the floor, taking a coin and tossing it into the middle of the room with similar results. "This... may be a problem..."

Chloe was holding her head again, breathing heavily. She was terrified. "Inquisitor... I can hear screaming... In my head..."

"That's just the warp." Filigree didn't look too sure though.

>>13128032
"Thank you."

Well, we can't reach the exit without turning to dust... should we simply make a new one with our inferno pistol?

>>13128032
Lovely. Just lovely. Anyone up for a game of 'The floor is lava'?
I suppose we ask the strider if she has any bright ideas. We could use her shape shifting abilities to move us one by one to the stairs, if hey arent' too far away.
How large is the room, and how far are the stairs from us? Is there anything useful not covered by dust?

>>13127695
"The implications of your help are... unsettling. What is going on?"
I look around, running my fingers through the dust, seeing if I can identify it's form or composition
I turn to Chloe and Fortran, "Dears this nice woman is going to help us by not eviscerating us where we stand, please be polite to her even. After all, we can't help the way we're made."
I pause
"Well, maybe you can Fortran, but that's a little afterthefact."
"Carol, Coral, are you good? Chloe?"

>>13128119
NONONONO. No touching the dust. I would like to keep that arm, thank you much.
I think that we need to give Chloe some help, she has taken too many hits too quickly.
Any way we can use our biomancy to help her out, make her feel better?

>>13128032
"No, Filigree, I honestly doubt that this is the warp at all."
I frown-
"Miss... " I say, indicating the strider, "probably wouldn't be helping us if it was one of hers. Unless I'm more persuasive then I thought."
"Anyway, I think as far as survival goes, we're all on the same side. Now, does anyone have any idea what this could be?"
(Maybe the C'tan?)

>>13128104

10-12 meters. the warp strider could stretch herself across and maybe take several pounds with her but not a person.

>>13127695
Can we wipe the dust away with a metal implant or some broken thing?
"Chloe, concentrate on the here and now. Keep it together, girl. Try and remember a song or rhyme from your childhood and keep repeating. Remember that you are surrounded by people who love you and want to help you."

>>13128202
Oh well, it was worth a shot. Well, now for the brute force approach.
Anyone up for blasting a hole in the ceiling using our inferno pistol and having the twins ferry us up?

>>13128265
We should consult with the others first. Maybe one of them knows the layout of this place.

>>13128202
I'm assuming blowing on the dust to make a pathway would make it airborn and then kill the fuck out of our lungs...

Can Filligree transform to carry is over? Is there anything we can lay on top of the dust? Is there anything we have that won't 'age' to ruin?

Is there a way we can make a bridge? Ooo! We have the rudimentary lathe in our back pocket!

Seriously though, what do we have / what's around us?
What can the psyker do? Can she fly? Do Coral and Carol still have those jetpacks?

>>13128362
I'd dare to guess that the twins' jetpacks are of limited use indoors.

>>13128032
"Everybody, I have a plan, though it is a bit extreme. I burn through the ceiling with the melta, and the twins can ferry us through the hole. Does anybody know what is directly above us? I don't want to kill any of our own by accident."
If nobody knows, have our friend the warp strider teleport up above us and see if anything is there, structural weaknesses, etc.

>>13128409
I'm just realizing that the Inferno pistol is just like a microwave gun thing... it just vaporizes liquids, so it wouldn't burn through rock or whatever... Our phase sword (or whatever it's called) might cut through the ceiling though.

Can we do that?

OP says that the strider can't carry us across but she can stretch across herself. What if we ask her to stretch across and maybe hold the tops of each doorframe or something. we could use her as a bridge or something depending on how stable it is. Hell we could even remove our power armor if we're too heavy.

>>13128464
It could, if this wasn't LOL WARP
...
Hmm, does Filigree age like regular people? Ask her!
If she's effectively immortal, then maybe she can ferry us across

>>13128464
It melts an item, but you could melt a hole through the ceiling.
I am just nervous about having the twins use their swords, as this would require them to hang in the air and cut through.
Jetpacks really aren't designed to hover and allow that kind of precision. If they fall or swerve and hit the dust, they are dead.

"Filigree, do deamonettes get old, or die of natural causes?"

>>13128612
I really don't want to risk losing Filigree. The ceiling method would probably be safer.

Melting a hole in the cieling will kick up a huge cloud of dust

>>13128605

if filigree can age like normal then ask about this.

>>13128605
Like, swing across maybe, using her limbs and body as rope? Or would that be too much stress?

>>13129405
Just like a swing,
made of heresy.

>>13129405
Fortran is probably too heavy
I think we should all slip out of our power armor, and have the lightest persons swing across using the Warp Strider, while Filigree can pick up the rest and carry them over

Alright, look around if there's any expendable debris or junk we can use to make a path
How long does a rock take before it breaks down? (I hope these are granite rather then limestone equivalents, or something durable like plascrete)

>>13129737
That's it! Find something made of plastic. Takes millions of years to break down, doesn't it?

>>13129941
No that's Styrofoam
Plastics can degrade very quickly in the right conditions

>>13128631
>>13129737

(btw just to clarify your in a tiny hallway between rooms for the most part.)

Filigree scratches her head, shrugging after a long moment. "We fade with time, though it takes thousands and thousands of years... I'd rather not walk across it thanks..."

You look around. There are SOME debris, though they are all either lightly dusted or back in the shadow room. You could try cutting chunks out of the stone above you using your inferno pistol...

The twins tap you on the shoulder. "Inquisitor.""We have an idea.""Have the warp strider go tell Esme we're stuck here.""She flies without disturbing the air for the most part."

So we now have the warp strider helping us...well that was unexpected.

Rather than going through the ceiling, we could potentially go through the wall instead. This is assuming that the stuff is not outside as well.
Just throwing another suggestion out there.

>>13130503
>>13130503
"Well, alright. Jezum crow, I hope the Sisters don't try to fill her full of holes or douse her in holy promethium."
or that nothing bad will happen along the way to her.
"Miss, do you think you should be able to make it to Esme without harm?"

>>13130503
Or we could do this, though whether or not the sisters and esme will believe the warp strider is another matter entirely.
Unfortunately, this does give the sisters yet another reason to dislike us, even though it isn't really our fault that the warp strider decided to help us.

If we havn't been declared renegade by the end of this I will be surprised.

>>13130732
We already know she can, the warp strider is capable of phasing through pretty much anything and can regenerate from almost anything as well.

>>13130745
>>13130732

The warp strider is silent for a moment. "Ugh... If we survive this, I require something large and shiny in compensation, Inquisitor..."

It stepped forward and, with one of the most disturbing sounds you've heard in a long time, stretched quickly across the gap, slowly transferring her weight from one end to the other before she was completely across.

It looked a bit shaken by the experience, quickly turning and moving up the stairs.

You hear a shout and faint bickering echo down, followed by several gunshots and more bickering. After a few minutes the strider walks slowly down the stairs again, the blade of a huge chainsword protruding out of its chest, several sisters in tow. Upon seeing you, Tessa sheepishly pulled it out, the Strider not batting an eye. "See? I'm going back up now." It turned and ascended the stairs.

Another minute or so and Esme is in sight, looking rather exhausted. "It pleases me to see you are safe, inquisitor."

>>13130969
"It's good to see you too, we were beginning to run out of options"
"As far as we can tell, if we touch the dust or anything between here and the stairs, we'll decay nearly instantly"
"The twins suggested that as you fly without disturbing the air that much, you may be able to help get us out"

>>13130969
"And it pleases me not to crumble into dust. Good to see you again Esme. And good to see that the sisters are staying on their toes."
I indicate the powder "Careful of that, there seems to be something unusual going on at the moment. And this is coming from a person who once saw regularly deals with fountains of blood and other such obscenties to the materium."
I shrug a little. "Do you think you could help us out?"

Before we go, we should probably leave some sort of message behind, if possible.
DON'T TOUCH THE DUST
YOU'LL DIE
SHOUT FOR HELP, SOMEONE WILL BE AROUND TO HELP YOU CROSS SHORTLY

>>13130503
"Hello Esme. We found a couple of people who'd like to not die. Is there any chance you know what the hell is going on, or at least get help us get across the aging dust?"

Bumping from page 9

Another page 8 bump

hi guys. awake now and stuff. I can only make one reply this morning. big final. need to do some last minute cramming

>>13135637
Well, forget about the reply and good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

>>13135662

(i have 5 hours to study. i'll be fine)

>>13132302
>>13131214
>>13131220

Esme lept into the air, crossing the gap of the room in mere moments. "I wish I knew what was going on, Inquisitor. I have a theory but I pray I am incorrect." She picked up Fortran, bringing her to the other side.

Filigree looked thoughtful. "It's like the planet is falling into the warp, but if that's the case then its not an area of warpspace I know."

Esme ferried over Chloe.

"Well what if its a new one?" The strider interjected. "New areas are constantly being created in the infinite warp outside of the realms of the chaos gods."

"But this feels like chaos! Only foreign..."

"It also feels like we're being assimilated into the warp and not merely swallowed. I was sent back here to withdraw as many troops as possible. I wasn't able to escape in time though. The warp around this planet is surging."

"You think one of the lesser gods did it?"

"Would a lesser god be able to block the powers of the big four?"

You realize that you and Filigree are the only ones left, Esme offering her hands to both of you. You both take them and she whisks you across, landing silently next to you. Filigree and the Strider continue to bicker.

>>13135862
New chaos god fuelled by the whole universe being incredibly shitty?

>>13136143
Malal maybe?
Maybe the Deceiver?

>>13135862
"Well, whatever it is that's going on, it's clear that the only way we'll survive is if we work together."
I look wistfully at the dust "Damn I wish we had the opportunity to study this. Without the whole being sucked into the foul abyss of the warp thing, going on."
I turn to Chloe "How are you holding up dear? Any better?"

>>13136143

New chaos god, maybe. Everything being shitty, i doubt it.

Well its clear that OP has drawn influence from books and movies and TV shows and stuff for the previous monsters and situations. If we can find her source material we can probably find a link and determine the workings.

She also said we're going to play Esme again. At this point it feels like a railroad wrap up leading into the next chapter. knowing OP, we'll most likely get a few last minute choices to make to impact the next chapter or something.

also, out of curiosity, who has been here since chapter 1?

or at least read chapter 1?

>>13136761
I've read chapter 1 and I have been here for just under half of this chapter.

(taking a break. Letting info soak in and see what sticks in medium-long term)

>>13136219

Chloe gave you an incredulous look, her face very pale. You couldn't imagine how she felt. The world around you was beginning to make you feel very nauseous even without your psykic abilities active.

Esme gestured for you to follow. "There's something you need to see." She started up the stairs, your little group following close behind. "For some time I've been hearing whispers in the wind. A name, I think, though I haven't been able to discern it yet."

She arrived at the third floor. The sisters were praying and didn't seem to notice your arrival. The eldar did, however, and watched you from one corner. The banshees were there. They must have managed to get to safety before the ice, dust, and shadows arrived.

There were litanies and wards scrawled upon the floor, walls, and ceiling, using blood and whatever else they could find when they ran out of ink.

You let your eyes drift over the countless holy saying and runes before settling your gaze upon something that shouldn't belong. A massive runic symbol had been burned black into the far wall, melting the massive gold Aquila and covering many of the protective runes. It yellowed the stone around it, glowing with power.

"Do any of you know what it means?"

>>13136959
What sticks in long term:
We are fucked.

>>13137878
We've been fucked for the majority of this quest and we havn't failed yet. Why start now?

Am I the only one who is reminded of the symbol of tzeentch? It is stylised but if you look at it the upright line and circle are the eye, and the swirls are the flames/serpents.

>>13136761
>also, out of curiosity, who has been here since chapter 1?
>or at least read chapter 1?

Been here since we managed to escape the communications room on the first planet.

>>13137898
well more so than before
and this looks very different from tzeentch or any of the four, or even Malal. Also everybody and their grandmother always screams Malal when non of the four are involved. seriously.
Taken from Lexicanum
"Also known as "The Outcast God", "The Lost God" and "The Renegade God", Malal embodies the self-destructive aspect of Chaos turned upon itself. Even following Malal is an act of self-destruction, for the relationship between follower and patron is parasitical - servitude draining the very soul of the devotee until it withers away. Few would choose to follow such a god, certainly not for any promise of power."

>>13136959
Please be the chaos god of productive work and reasonable behaviour who simply swallowed this planet because he thinks it has been taken over by the other gods.
Pretty please?

>>13138006
More like fear and terror from the silent hill crap thats been going on

>>13138002
I agree that this doesn't seem to fit with tzeentch's normoal modus operande, was merely commenting on the similarities between the symbols.

I agree that this is not malal. It may be worth having a look at known minor gods, though this doesn't appear to fit with any of them, as there may be a clue somewhere in their background material.

>>13138023
That would come under despair, which is already one of nurgle's sphere's of influence.

Been here since chapter One
Also, could this be Chesed?
The fan created Chaos God of Order?
Basically the idea was Emps died, and his warp presence created the eight Chaos God Chesed, who imposed order on everything, whether or not it wanted it

>>13138314
No no, Chesed wouldn't be the eighth god, he's the sixth (his name is hebrew for Six)
and he's not the Emprah
He just draws on the soulcrushing conformity and tyranny of the Imperium as his power source
He wouldn't have religion, he would have a bunch of dudes dictating his will and expecting you to follow it. They would be like propaganda officers and demagouges, spouting litanies of obedience rather than enlightenment. His would be an empire of iron, steel and concrete, built on the foundations of the back breaking labour of billions, with officers and soldiers and aristocrats enjoying huge boons for their service.

Chesed is unlike the other gods in that he wants to impose his will on the entire Warp. He wants to control it, so he can control every psychic being. When Cheseds forces obey orders and work in tandem, even Khorne's armies can't stand against them, but when disobedience is rife, Chesed is foiled.

He's also the God of Slavery.

actually nurgle's fear only pertains to death and the fear of death and disease, not pure abject horror

>>13138382
I will concede the abject terror part, that is not really nurgle.
However, nurgle's domain is primarily despair, so all forms of despair are his. Not just those caused by disease and death. Disease is merely a good means of causing despair, hence why he controls it as uses it as his main means of spreading despair and decay.

>>13138425
>>13138382
Guys, I really think that this is a new Chaos God

>>13138371
He also ensures that no one faction ever gets strong enough to destroy any of the others
He literally the god Status Quo in a setting where Status Quo is god

>>13138439
Thats what ive been saying. One with power over fear

>>13138425
But if this was Nurgle, why wouldn't he leave his own mark on the wall?

>>13138486
Exactly! This is not Nurgle nor any of the other four.
(Khorne, Slanesh, Tzeentch, Malal)

>>13138439
Possibly.
The black dust stuff reminded me of nano swarms, they will rapidly disasemble things that come into contact with them. Easy to mistake for rapid ageing and decay.
Unlikely I will grant, especially given the appearance of this rune, however there is no harm in dumping information.

If this is a new chaos god, rather than speculating on what it is, we should instead be focussing on what we can do right now to survive, we can't remain in this cathedral indefinately.
We need to find a means of communicating with any friendly vessels that may be in orbit, if we need extraction or need to declare exterminatus, we can't do that without communications.
Was this event planned? Or was it an unintended consequence? That is what I want to know.

>>13138516
Can you think of any other warp powers outside of the Big Five?
If not, then we've probably moved into fan territory

>>13138486
>>13138516
I'm not saying that this is nurgle, I am just saying that fear and terror can either be assigned to all of the chaos gods, and that despair is nurgle in particular.
I do not think this is a god of fear. Sure it was creepy, but any of the gods can be creepy/terrifying under the right circumstances.

>>13138549
Ans'l, Mo'rcck and Phraz-Etar.
Though the names were puns based on Bryan Ansell, Michael Moorcock, and Frank Frazetta.

Here are two more.
Necoho - a renegade minor god known as the "Doubter", representing aspects of agnosticism and atheism.
Zuvassin - a renegade minor god known as the "Great Undoer", representing a desire to foil the efforts of others.

>The entire fear discussion

You do know guys that the chaos god's powers and domains overlap if you stand back and look at them as a whole, right? Despair is nurgle's domain but despair can be a form of mental agony which is slaanesh's domain.

Terror specifically is adrenaline hyped freak out while despair is more hopeless.

"Terror" seems to come to mind for me and seems to fit, but what if the terror in particular is more refined? like not only external terror but internal terror? Not only are we up against horrible eldritch abominations but these are eldritch abominations that are fuled by our own personal demons?

That is unique and... well... would fuck us over pretty bad...

OP please don't let it be that...

Honestly, there are too many loose ends in the 40k universe.
This could be practically anything. Revenge of the old ones, the enslavers have risen to sentience, the necrons using a new weapon turning the warp against its denizens etc.

Ok... We all need to stop for a minute... because I want to know...

Which one of you wonderful, glorious bastards wrote this fapfic?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RNN20CW0

I got a deviantart note with that link in it. already virus checked it and shit and... just wow...

Well, us sitting around scratching our heads won't do us any good.
Lets ask our warp strider what she knows
"Did your superiors tell you why you needed to get off planet?"

>in b4

Yes the final went well

>>13138925
Not I , said the littlest fish

>>13138952
Good for you OP
Wish me luck on my own, will you?

>>13138925
I'm surprised it wasn't linked to in the thread.

>>13138952
Good to hear.

>>13139002

i dunno. all it said was "share if you want" with a smiley face. twas sent from a dummy account.

Regardless, its pretty damn well written.

It'll give you something to read while I drive home.

>>13139029
I already have :P
Better written than is normally expected from a fapfic I must agree.

>>13139029
Hee, it was pretty good
I was hoping for Tessa Esme cuddling though

>>13139056
>>13139029
Meh. Seems even /tg/'s fapfics aren't what they were anymore. :p

>>13139029
Futa Filigree?
....
I am okay with this

>>13139365
pretty much all daemonettes are. they've got to function with all sexual orientations.

>>13139403
I thought they just appeared in whatever form would be the most pleasing/most fun

>>13139556
It's 40k. As with all the more adult aspects, it's left to your imagination. My opinion is that they're creatures of the warp and if they want something from you or like you they'll be whatever you want them to be.

Well, I am glad my shitscribble fapfic was well received. Figured I would be tarred and feathered for it.

>>13138932

The strider frowned. "No... No they didn't... I was just told to deliver a message of evacuation. I brought it to the daemon princes and greater daemons on the planet. I have to say, convincing a khorne daemon to leave isn't easy." She paused. "Striders may be a result of slaanesh's creations, but many of us prefer being undivided. The great serpent is lazy and we grow easily bored."

She looked back up at the rune. "This does smell of chaos though. However, Chaos Gods are not created overnight. Especially those powerful enough to resist being assimilated by the others."

Rodwen stepped forward, speaking after a long moment. "It is written that there were many signs of chaos before She Who Thirsts destroyed my people. They were subtle but... The energy doesn't fade. It merely grew until it passed a threshold."

>>13139802
"You feel rather stupid for producing those warp machines now, right? Anyhow, could it be possible that the god currently making our lives so unpleasant hasn't fully awoken yet?"

>>13139802
"What kind of threshold? And why here and why now? What could this conflict mean or symbolize that it could be the center of the birth of what increasingly looks like a new chaos god?
Is there anyway we can stop it?"

>>13139802
"Alright what do we know?
The other members of chaos obviously think that, whatever is happening is bad news.
There seems to be the indications that these are warp based phenomena, mostly centering so far on what appears to be corruption, decay, and age.
The events so far including the appearance of this symbol seem to be related to the warp, and may be analogous to the birth of a chaos god.
Finally, we are undoubtedly in deep shit."

>>13140058
>>13140015
>>13139939

The strider was about to answer but Filigree cut her off. "I GET IT NOW!" She grabbed your shirt, shaking you in excitement. "Huge warp activity spawns sleeping gods that feed! When they are born the big ones absorb them! There were thousands upon thousands spawned form the horus heresy alone! Even more from the fall of the Eldar! There aren't many left but all this warp activity might be waking one up! One that feeds on... something... there is a lot of... and is now... absorbing... this chunk......... Shit, we're boned..."

The strider shrugged. "Pretty much. Though I would assume the area this god lives in is faaaar from the realms of chaos where the real beasts of the warp live. It's going to take a while for it to fully awaken."

Filigree had slipped behind you, resting her chin on the pauldron you still had. "So Quizzy... Ermmm... Since we're all going to be completely obliterated..."

God Emperor, Filigree has a one track mind...

>>13140198
I gently push Filigree asid, clasping her hands and leaning in close
"Lets save the end of the world orgy until we're absolutely sure we're about to become Tang, okay?"
I pat Filigree on the head and turn to the others,
"Come on, there has to be something we can do to save our asses. Like hell have I lived this far through all of this shit to give up now."

>>13140198
"I'm very tempted to choke you Filigree, but I'm afraid you might see that as foreplay." Restrain ourselves, barely.
Damn, we're fucked.
"Farseer, you're the ones with the most knowledge of the warp without being creatures of it. Don't tell me you haven't spent the years since Slaanesh's birth devising plans how such an even could have been avoided. Even at the last moment. Right?.... Please?"

>>13140198
"Well, what if we somehow kicked ourselves back into realspace? Maybe we could find the generators the chaos forces were using and reverse their affects somehow.
They are based on the warp drives, so, in theory, it should be possible for them to move us back into the materium,"

>>13140198
"Whoever said anything about obliteration?
I make a habit of never giving up and I have no intention of starting now."
"If there is any means of preventing this birth I intend to find it.
Even if it results in all our deaths I will keep fighting, after all, what do have to lose anymore?"

>>13140198
"Alright, well, what has characterized this conflict so far that it makes it so enticing to this unawakened chaos god?"
I look over the assembled sage leaders, warp abonmiations, holy warriors, and mystics and, with the air of scholum teacher, ask
"Anyone, anyone? Who here can tell what this conflict could symbolize?"

>>13139766
Hee, will we see more?

So, could that statue of Saint Sabbatine could have been a Fury?
Are these shadows possibly Astral Spectres?
Could Chloe possibly have been infected by Psycheenunem?

>>13140483
I was thinking of making more, just need to consult with the one in charge.

>>13140596

I'd prefer if you wouldn't. Going R with sanctioned smut would simply take the charm away from this quest. For me at least.
I also don't want the people calling this a fetish quest to be right.

>>13140652
Eh, as long as he doesn't post it in the main quest, I'm fine with that
I liked his last story- hopefully his next will be about Tessa and Esme, or Anna and Varity

>>13140302
Heh, what would be the 40K equivalent of tang?

>>13140652
Well, I was considering doing maybe pg-13 stuff as well. I agree with your point, and it is a damn good one.
>>13140688
I'll do other characters, I'll just actually have to read the quest to do so. (I've read bits and pieces oh god no lynch mob)

>>13140652
>I also don't want the people calling this a fetish quest to be right.

>implying we are not right already

>>13140769

>>13140793
Am I correct to assume that you are that one guy who always votes negatively for this quest's rating on suptg?

>>13138952
Mind if I ask in what subject?

>>13140909

I swear each and every thread has i think 2 negative votes. it sucks.

>>13141121
Nah, it's only one negative vote.
The system works like this (suptg is really slow for me so it might not be the exact same wording):

5 votes, all positve ---> This thread has a rating of 5 after 5 votes
6 votes, 5 positive 1 negative ---> This thread has a rating of 4 after 6 votes
7 votes, 6 positive 1 negative ---> This thread has a rating of 5 after 7 votes.

At least that was the case for all the threads I voted on.

>>13141170
Suptg's rating system is rather simple:

x:= number of postive votes
y:= number of negative votes
z:= total rating of a thread

The equation to calculate the rating of any thread on suptg is:

x-y=z

>Yes, I'm that bored.

Bumping to get this quest back on track!

>>13140198
To the warp strider (wasn't it called a pain strider originally?):
"By the way, you never told me your name. You've got me at a disadvantage."
"Do think that if we can't stop the god from awakening we might influence its personality in some way?"

"Oh, an Filigree?" Get close to her ear:
"You've got me this close [use fingers for emphasis] to get you another date with the holy requisition forms of the departmento munitorum. Be a good girl. I know you're smart, it's one of the things a appreciate most about you, hell - I don't mind that you're trying to get what you want - but I've got other priorities at the moment."
Pat her on the head, ask the others about our current situation. Is the inquisitor lord already conscious again?

>>13141751
I wonder how ANna and Caramel are right now
Plus Chloe

(oh god we've acquired too many waifus- we've hit maximum waifu overload!)

>>13141857
I'd say Anna and Verity only count as half a waifu each. Esme acquired them, so we will have to share.

>>13141914
That is true

I wonder how everyone in general is getting on, and if any guardsmen or civies managed to make it to the Cathedral
Also, do you think that Titan is still working?

>>13141937
Probably wasted by that fog.

>Cough cough....
We could really use some additional support.

Bump

>>13141751

(err let me check. If so then i'm sorry. my on and off stress migraines have addled my brain pretty bad)

fuck your right. alright guys OP messed up its a pain strider. I shall scribble it in my little book o quest notes

>>13142626
Ah, it's s'okay OP
Finals have got everyone stressed

>>13142626
We knew what you meant, it wasn't really a problem.

>>13142734

if i make another idiot obvious fail like that feel free to point it out. Im only human after all.

Page 8 bump

>>13140360 >>13140305
>>13140302 >>13141751

The Pain Strider clapped you on the shoulder. "This is all very admerable of you inquisitor but really... how do you propose we stop the birth of a CHAOS GOD? It is taking this area of space and using it as a foundation of its realm in the immaterium. Everything on this world and all the surrounding worlds will belong to this new entity. We'll be its BITCH! I have a hard enough getting out of the palace NOT covered from head to toe in purple lipstick."

"Either that or we'll be dead." Galatea had somehow managed to sneak up on you. "As sisters we will not tolerate such an existence. We serve only the emperor and the golden throne of terra. If given the choice we would gladly die rather than fall to taint." She glanced at Caramel who was sitting a bit off from the other sisters. She looked okay now. They must have convinced her to let Esme heal her.

The Exalted Martyr walked up to the mark, examining it. "There may be a way to pry off this god's grip on the physical world... I... really don't know how. This huge surge of warp energy woke it up... We might be able to put it back to sleep."

>>13143880
"I take it you have a plan?"

>>13143880
"Well yes, but wouldn't you die to help stop the spread of taint?" I ask Galatea churlishly. Paladinic crusaders and their morals. You give them a thunderhammer and then everything starts looking like a nail.
I turn to Esme. "Whatever your idea is, let's hear it. It's better then standing around contemplating our navels while we wait for the inevitable at least."

>>13143880
"Well, if it comes to it, there is always exterminatus.
It may help prevent the birth, and if nothing else it will deny it this planet and everyone left on it.
This is assuming of course we are able to contact ships in orbit and that there are still ships in orbit left to contact."

>>13143880
"Well, if anyone has any suggestions to release this planet from the grip of the immaterium, I'd be happy to hear it. If we're going to die, at least go out fighting and giving our enemies the finger,"

studying a bit. will post soon

trying to write epic speech... so tired... will finish in morning when brain works

Sombody going to archive?

>>13146456
Nah, it isn't in autosage yet, so we'll just keep it bumped

Bump from page 8

>>13144438 >>13144018
>>13143970 >>13143917

Esme turns toward you, biting her lip. "No Inquisitor... I do not have a plan... The only way I can think of to prevent such a happening would be to dive into the warp and sever the psykic link. I'm sure we're not the only system under threat by this new chaos god. On top of that such an invasive method risks drawing its full attention."

She took a deep breath. "I... Don't think I can do it alone either. I have slain demons and heretics in the past, but this is an adversary that, regardless of my power, I cannot face without allies... And its going to be difficult, do not be deceived. This is a suicide mission, but if it means saving the people here and if it means saving Ophelia VII then I shall depart with pride."

Florencia had made her way over to the little group during Esme's speech. She removed her thunderhammer and kneeled before the exalted martyr. "I would be honored to go." Galatea joined her, "As would I." And Evangela. "And I..." Gradually the eavesdropping sisters began to trickle over, praying and offering themselves.

Esme smiled, bowing her head. "I do not with to risk stretching my power too thin to protect so many through the warp. I will have to think on it but... Three. I believe I can take three." The sisters didn't move waiting for her next words, though they were not addressed at them.

>>13149345

"Inquisitor." She turned to you. I know you wish to volunteer. You do everything you must to complete your mission, even sampling forbidden fruit. You are unconcerned with striking the final blow, content with knowing that what you did helped. You throw yourself in danger to save your allies. Your valor shines with the fury of a star. I would have been proud to call you my battle sister, regardless of your recent actions." She walked up to you, laying one hand on your unbroken pauldron. Immediately the armor began to bleach. "Which is why I need you to lead the troops here. You are the only one I trust to do so. Regardless of your past decisions, I would trust the resolve of no other to stand against the onslaught of chaos here."

You felt your headache dissolve, your psykic energy returning in a surge of power. The perils of the warp seemed distant. More distant than ever before. You fall to one knee.

"Thank you, inquisitor. May the blessings of the emperor shine like a beacon in your life and guide you to where you need to be."

-End Chapter 2-

>>13149345
>>13149352
Ahh, so we were at the end.
Makes sense really, we couldn't stop the aweakening, but esme may be able too.

>>13149352

Chapter 3 will begin on Friday, after my final. I will archive it as soon as it begins so you can get the thread number off of suptg

Remember. Esme plays differently than Delessa. You have to sing the emperor's praises while making the rule of cool your bitch in order to succeed.

depending on how zealous crazy awesome your solution is depends on what modifier I add to my dice and depends on how efficient she is in combat.

due to fa/tg/uy demand, there will be another delessa chapter after the next one.

>>13149416
Sounds good. This quest has been good fun.
Good luck with your finals.

>>13149416

that and so you can have more time with some of your waifus

Who are as follows

Filigree (duh...)
Chloe
Fortran
Banshee Exarch

Waifus who you will need to "recruit"

Carol&Coral (srsly... Get them away from florencia)
Sonja
Elizabeth

Waifus who may not stick around all the time

Rodwen
Evangela
Pain Strider (dammit I cant think of a good name)

Did i miss anyone? So many waifus its hard to keep track.

I'm also gonna drawfag for a few minutes in here

>>13142388

>>13149345
>Only three

Oh god, so many choices...

well each one has advantages and disadvantages. I will list those later today.

also, have we broken some sort of waifu record?

Thank you OP, it was awesome being Delessa, but I'm expecting our time as Esme again will be even awesomer

>>13149552
We may well have.

Florencia and galatea were listed as waifus at one point. Though whther they count I am not sure.

Also, from a purely pragmatic point of view, if florencia goes with esme, not only do we get the twins away from her, but if delessa is the one who suggests it, florencia may end up liking us a bit more.
Which is always an improvement over her wanting to kill us.

>>13149588
Also, caramel.

>>13149552
Well, counting Esme's Waifus we have, in no particular order,
Anna, Varity, Tessa, Filigree, Pain Strider, Rowden, Banshee, Caramel, Galatea, Carol, Coral, Sonja, Elizabeth, Evangela, Fortran, Chloe, and Florencia.
Not sure if Galatea should be up there, she's more of a matronly figure then anything else, or if Florencia counts, possibly she's so TsunTsun for Delessa that she's looped round the side and come back as Dere?
All in all that's a grand total of 17 waifus
With Esme claiming 4: Tessa, Anna, Varity, and possibly Galatea
and Inquisitor Kravos claiming a grand total of fifteen, sharing Anna and Varity between the two

>>13149485
>Pain Strider (dammit I cant think of a good name)
Maybe one of these?

Philomena, from Greek word philéon (to love, to caress)
Niusha (Persian ‏نیوشا‎) means "good listener".
Seteney (cercassian), personified beauty or red rose.
Thirza (hebrew), grace, pleasure, delight, loveliness.

>>13149629
Seventeen, hrmm. How does that shape up in comparison to most Harem Animes?
Also, I just had an idea- Delessa sitting on a throne marked with an inquisitorial =][= in forty k pimp attire, surrounded by her harem lounging about in various states of undress. And then an "after" pic, which shows Florentia arguing with Rowdan and pointing accusingly at Filigree who is hiding behind Delessa and sticking her tongue out, while Carol and Coral are pushing away the advances of the painstrider, Chloe looking around for more clothing and covering herself as best as she can, and, well, basically, just a picture of how truly messed up Delessa's Harem is.

>>13149629

florencia is more tsun tsun for galatea really. Rodwen is very tsun tsun for delessa though.

Neither canoness is really a "waifu"

technically Evangela isn't either... yet... You'll really have to work for that one.

Don't worry though. this doesn't mean you dont have the potential to gain more waifus in the following chapters.

god... so many characters to develop... must... resist... cardboard... cutout... urge...

*note to self. Limit number of characters "on screen" at any given time*

also don't forget to have tybalt fixed

>>13150203
I thought that some of the sisters had taken tybalt and were trying to fix him.

>>13149416
Just putting my votes up because I'm sure I'll miss the beginning of that thread.
Tessa -> Waifu prime.
Florencia -> She needs to mellow. Best to get all that anger out of her system by smiting heretics.
Caramel -> I'm pretty sure she feels it's necessary for her to repent/redeem herself. What better chance than by saving Ophelia VII alongside the exalted martyr? Might as well get those silly thoughts of ending her life out of her mind.

back guys :3

anywho i'm drawfaggin a few things while letting my PC update and then i will either sit down and work on my inquisitor model (I ordered the Twilight Knight Pinup model from kingdom death as you know) or i'll start posting the advantages/disadvantages of each person you can take with you.

We might bear in mind that anybody we send on this "three people to save the world" quest have a strong chance at not making it back.

I say this because >>13150488's argument for Carmel going makes too much sense.

Man, if we saved her only to die a chapter later... ;_;

Before we switch from Delessa to Esme, I have to know
"Esme, while you were in the warp, during the battle... this is rather silly, but, you didn't happen save any souls of sisters of battle bound to deamons, did you?"
Also, Anna, she still in a coma? Maybe Chloe can help her out

>>13151189

Delessa and Esme will run into each other again.

but in case you forget its yes in both regards.

>>13150979

That is something for the dice to decide

>>13151364
Could we have actually achieved a better end for this part?
Anything choices we surprised you with in this chapter, or have we already become too predictable?

Ok, sorry to do that, but can you explain to me: you are playing two parallel plotlines, one (Chloe) involving commiting heresy with demonette and other fallen sisters, second one involving return of uber-zealous-fuckin-awesome Esme from Warp after she defeated bitch demon? Am I right or am I missing something?

>>13151695
>>13151695
... What?

Also, any chance that we can see after action reports about the battle?

>>13151791

I mean - I have briefly looked through the previous threads archive, but I would like to appreciate plot summary.

>>13151895
Ok, I'll give you a summary. Just give me a few secs to write something.

>>13151895
>>13151937
Writing this from memory, so things might be incorrect.

Sororitas Quest Chapter 1, Act 1:

The player character is Esme, young sister of battle on her first proper combat mission.
The mission is destined to fail from the beginning because chaos has managed to almost completely overrun the planet.
A Tzeentchian sorceror decides to unluck our hidden psychic potential for the lulz. We black out.
The remaining survivors managed to find us and brought us to their last redoubt. We meet the only other surviving sister of battle, Tessa. Unfortunately, she's been skull-fucked by Slaaneshi cultists and wants to end her life. We convince her otherwise.
Our only way to get off the planet alive is to send a message to the fleet in orbit. Of course, the only transmitter strong enough is located in an enemy fortress.
Tessa gets a cybernetical eye so she can help us fight, although she's still suicidal from all the things the cultists did to her.
We manage to survive all fighting to the fortress and sneak inside using our newly found psychic powers.
Tessa's cybernetic implant is starting to be rejected by her body and we manage to restore her biological eye through warp magic. Tessa is not happy about Esme being a witch but decides to do nothing for now.
Message is sent, everybody gets picked up by drop ships before the planet is exterminatus'd. We get a first glimpse of who we'll later know as Miriael Sabathiel.

>>13151937

Thank you, I'll appreciate it wholeheartly. I'd give yo some russian paintings as my appreciation, but files are to large. I hope this will suffice.

>>13152012

>>13152012
Chapter 1, Act 2:

After escaping the planet, we're back on the vessel of our order. We're being treated for our wounds by Sister Hospitaller (nurse) Verity. After a short chat, Canoness Galatea, leader of our order, wanders off to interrogate Tessa and check her for any signs of daemonic corruption.
Meanwhile we're off exploring the ship, looking if anybody needs our help.
Esme, Verity and the newly introduced Anna get locked in the engine section of the ship. After much silent hill-esque horror we discover that some kind of body snatching warp horror is using the communication devices built into various ear-pieces to take over portions of the crew.
We manage to survive and alert the crew. Tessa is found uncorrupted but the ship is damaged and we need to make repairs.

Chapter 1, Act 3:
We decide to land on a planet to make the necessary repairs to our ship.
The locals are very friendly and set up a huge feast for the Emperor's warriors. The also stage a play/ritual where an innocent girl is offered to the daemons of the warp to save the world from future peril.
We intervene, saving the girl but causing a huge rip in the warp which begins spilling daemons into the materium.
We also get to have our first fight with Miriael Sabathiel.
Eventually, Esme follows the retreating Miriael into the warp to kick her ass properly, leaving the other sisters behind.

>>13152119

Chapter 2, Act 1:

We've switched characters to inquisitor Delessa Kravos, sent on a mission to investigate the rumors about a so called Exalted Martyr. Supposedly a sister of battle granted miraculous powers by the Emperor himself.
We arrive to rendezvous with the ships of Esme's order and talk with Galatea, Tessa and Verity.
While Tessa and Verity are aboard our ship, an explosion occours and warp portals open all over the ship. Daemons almost immediately beginning to pour out. We manage to destroy the device generating the portals and capture a Daemonette, Filigree. We decide to bind her to us. I guess for the lulz.

Chapter 2, Act 2:
After lots of chit-chatting we get a distress signal of a planet under attack from chaos. We fight lots of daemons and meet Carol&Coral (the twins), Elizabeth and Sophia and Canoness Florencia.
Esme returns and helps us fight the daemonic incursion. We manage to beat the daemons, destroy the device generating the warp portals and spend more time talking.
We also figure out what the forces are planning to do with those devices.

Chapter 2, Act 4:
During transit to the Ophelia system we happen upon an Eldar craftworld under attack by energy leeching daemons. We manage to figure this out rather quickly and strike an alliance with the xenos. This is the first meeting with Farseer Rodwen.
Also: moar character building and talking.

Chapter 2, Act 4:
The battle for Ophelia VII. I assume you've read that. Should be the last 4 or 5 threads. The new characters introduced in this act are Chloe the psyker, Fortran the ad-mech girl, Caramel and daemonically possesed sister of battle and the pain strider still lacking a name.
We also managed to acquire a banshee exarch waifu. Still without personality or name.

End of Chapter 2. <-------- Currently, we are here.

Thank you very much. I'll observe those threads from now on, trying to contribute something good.

>>13152414

*these, typo, my mistake.

>>13152270
Fucking firefox just ate my reply detailling almost half the important characters in this quest. FUCK YOU FIREFOX!

Esme:
Player character. Therefore she's whatever you decide her to be. So far she's been a devout and pious subject of the Emperor although she's extraordinarily understanding and reasonable for a potential imerial saint. Has incredibly psychic powers unlocked by Tzeentch for the lulz although this has pretty much back-fired on him. Incredibly protective of those she holds dear.

Delessa:
Player character. Therefore she's whatever you decide her to be. Until now she's been unorthodox at least although always maintaining her faith in the emperor. Enjoys trolling Filigree.

Tessa:
Sister of battle defiled by Slaaneshi cultists. Saved by Esme. Very strongly fixiated on Esme.

Verity:
Sister hospitaller (nurse). Hasn't really been doing anything except keeping other people from dying. Likes both Esme (verified) and Delesse (speculation).

Anna:
Sister of battle saved by Esme from warp horrors in Chapter 1, although Anna took some damage. Dislikes Delessa because of Filigree. Currently a vegetable because we barely managed the roll to have her survive the confrontation with Miriael.

>>13152434

Carol&Coral:
The twins. Seraphim (Sister of battle with jetpacks). Share a secret psychic link allowing them to act as one. Like Delessa despite knowing Filigree's true nature.

Elizabeth and Sophia:
Sisters of battle. Haven't received a lot of characterisation until now. Friendly towards Delessa despite knowing about Filigree.

Filigree:
Daemonette of Slaanesh. Formed out of curiosity. Bound to us by some ritual. Likes us. A lot.

Canoness Galatea:
Reasonable Canoness. Has some kind of history with Florencia.

Canoness Florencia:
Burn&purge for the Emperor style canoness. Dislikes Delessa because of HERESY!

Farseer Rodwen:
Eldar Farseer. Has a love-hate relationship with Delessa.

Pain strider:
Unaligned chaos daemon. Of unknown disposition towards Delessa.

>Did I miss anybody?

>Sister hospitaller (nurse).

She doez a goode job, jah?

>>13152452
Allerdings! Ze best nurse ah've evah hed!

>>13152434

Verity had a thing for Anna too, actually. Which is why she was so upset.

>>13152501
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that the fucking "Angel of Death" or whatever they called him?

>>13152685
sure was. Also had a song written about him (Angel of Death by Slayer)

>>13152659
Honestly, I think it's easier to set up a relationship digram to keep track of who-likes-who by now.

If you'd draw portraits for each character, I'd even make one.

I'd place Tybalt in the centre because everybody likes him.

>>13152707
>>13152685

Yep, one of the few nazis the mossad didn't get. There are still people who believe he's alive although a corpse matching his dental records was found. Why? Because those who survived him are still afraid that he'll be coming for them one night.

You guys are awesome. Thanks a lot.

>>13152708

i'll do that when i'm less tired

Thank you very much indeed.

>>13154482
It does appear so.

When do we get the information on the benefits of sending each character with esme?

>>13152438
