"Hugo Rune" flashing a few times before beginning to lazily scroll from left to right. Patting your hands down your body one last Time you comb your fingers back through your short dark hair, trying to wrangle it into some sense of order and Failing on the most part. Ruefully you shake your head, looking down at the small black band on your wrist, where the holographic display of your watch springs forward. your eyes widening as you see the time, moving quickly to the door as you mutter an explanation moving quickly through the ships corridor as you head for the Elevator. Arriving at the gleaming metal doors you step through them as soon as they open, managing almost bowl over a Petite, fair haired woman in the process, lurching to a stop just in time as you Smile Ruefully.

"Sorry about that Caitlin, I'm already 3 minutes late for shift and you know how much the Captain Wants my Ass."

you pause as the woman gives a small chuckle before continuing, feeling the Elevator quickly Ascend

"But what brings you up from that oily mess you like to call an Engine room?"

Choice Time:

a.) Engine Critical Overload
b.) Fluctuations in the Gravity Plating
c.) Atmospheric Changes in the Lower Decks

The name was first come first served, from now on it will be voting. :P the genderless 12 year old made me laugh

>>13493263

A) The engines. Beat it with your stout stick until it behaves.

>>13493289
capital idea old chap

>>13493255
my good sir, what might i have possibly done to offend one such as yourself?

2 votes for option A, I'll give it a few more minutes then write it up,

not too popular tonight it seems

>>13493389

/tg/ seems slower than normal tonight in general. Something good on TV?

True, It does seem very slow.

Meh, probably just my writing style anyway.

I'll give it a bit loner, but if there are only 4 people in the thread i may pack up and reost later in the day.

hold up, i'll entertain somewhat and bump with tales of mighty failure that is incarnate in our RT campaign

well seeing as /tg/ is not too interested in quests it seems, i shall do what pelenor has been bugging me to do and write up the tale of our rogue trader campaign.

for some simple background on the group, we begin this green as spring grass to it all and mildly unprepared.
to begin with i was designated gm and decided to start with the introduction campaign.
the cast are as follows:
Tristan Aphesius, Rogue Trader played as the true master of theart of Blather.

Chuck Carter, Arch-Militant, played by our most relcutant rper and with ridiculosu stat rolls, often called 'Beefcake McGee PhD" wielder of the mighty hereditary chainsword "Gregory XXVIII"

Sarvus Godwinne, a Sycophant and Incompetent, the 'Navigator' of the ship, better known as the murderer of hundreds in missed shots.

Lucius Mecharius, the trigger happy Explorator with a binary cortex induced psychosis ( started as pelenors character, became mine then was replaced with my ninja-accountant)

Oh jesus, Here we go

lol, What?

Gregory the hundred and something? how many bloody owners did he have?

Okay, I like the sound of this.
On the downside what the hell sort of nickname is "Buffcake Mcgee, PhD"? how the hell does that make any sense?

now, for those who don't know, the introductory endeavour starts with the crew meeting with a servant of the rogue trader dynasty, Orbest Drey, who tells them a tale of the treasure ship the righteous path and gives them a map to the systme it was located. this meeting takes place within a crowded market place.as the man leaves, several men and a woman,all armed, emerge from the crowd and approach the crew.

Lucius flips his shit and opens fire on them, depsite them making no aggressive actions, not even drawing their wepons. he hits, but only poorly, this results in the drawing and firing of several shots from both sides before Tristan get's it together and calls for a ceasefire.
the woman, leader of the group warilycalls offher men and approaches Tristan, who was busy chastiszing Lucius for his itchy fingers, and introduces herself as lady Ash, in the employ of the rogue trader Hadarak Fel, and says that she was simply curious what such a high profile man would want in port wander and what Orbest Drey couldpossiblyhave given him. Tristan proceeds to roll a 98 on a charm test to pull her away from the subject and also freaks out, he does the only logical thing, uses his quickdraw talent to pull his plasma pistol and uses semi auto burst.

he rolls a 10, so he hits her with both rounds, in the face,
he then proceeds to roll twin 9's, with a total damage moe than enough to put her to 10 critical wounds. leading to her head exploding,her body catching fire and running off into the gathered crowd, setting fire to several buildings, killing hundreds in the end
>>13493653
chuck carter has the highest int score of the group, he also is the only one with logic as trained skill

>>13493712

I'm giggling like a little Girl Right now, I can imagine Tristan losing his shit.

This is great. Moar

they had Guns guys, Guns!

And they were all fleshy and disgusting and Ewww.. Plus Selwynn Bennett my Binary cortex thought they looked shifty. honestly what else was I gonna do besides open fire with my 3 guns

Bump for More

battle naturally ensues, and is fairly unremarkable, apart from Sarvus managing to miss by at least 2 degrees of sucess each time, with a meltapistol.
after Chuck mops up what's left of Hadaraks men, a member of the Arbites comes running at the group, screamingat them to stop what they are doing, drop their weapons and surrender themselves for judgement, that is until Tristan opens his mouth, rolls a series of 7's, 8's and 11's to blather managing to confuse the poor cop then convince him that hadaraks men had not only fired first, but had planted the several hundred witnesses to claim that Tristan and Co. were the aggressors.

taking advantage of the confusion, they hightail it back to their ship the Astra Imperator, a light cruiser and quickly get out and make a 'quick' warp jump. Sarvus quickly estimates it will be a matter of but 2 hours before they are back in real space, they spend 2 weeks trapped in the warp before they drop out of the warp in a normal looking system that happened to have an imperial fleet pasing through. deciding it was the wisest course of action, our intrepid crew approach the fleet and hail the flagship, requesting to speak with it's captain.
Captain Francesco the 3rd of his name, grandson of one of thegreatest pilots ever known to the imperium answers, politely yet bluntly asking why this damned rogue trader interrupts his sleep.

Trsitan launches into a speech about how he is tracking a band of pirates, led by a man named Hadarak Fel, and if he had seen him.
Francesco orders the batteries of his ships to lockonto the Astra Imperator, see Francesco happens to be a close, personal friend of a certain rogue trader, who also goes by that name and that Tristan should be careful with his next words.
Aphesius brilliance and luck shines once again as Tristan tells a tale of a pirate mascarading as Hadarak Fel.
he then rolls a 1.
and pizza arrives, leading to the switching of gming duties and me leaning to sleepiness, you guys want more? or shall i leave it at that for the night

Your joking right? does the captain profously apologize, give him all his men and then ask them to the prom?

How the hell do you even RP a one anyway? our GM treats them more as Acts of god than anything else

>>13493563
>>13493712

Doesn't the campaign notes specifically mention not to let Lady Ash die?

how did you let her get her face blown off

alright, i'm set up for an all nighter, to typing i guess

>>13494011
was new, hadn't bothered reading that part

>>13494012

Hoorah.

This thread needs more attention. The plight of the Apheseus dynasty must be known

>>13494077

Can we get some info on this ship, the astra imperator that is?

is it a beat up peice of shit they got for 40 SP? or is it stupidly OP and you had to break all the rules to get it made into the game?

we get back from pizza and pelenor takes over this train wreck.
Francisco immediatley takes back his orders to target the astra imperator and declares that he is willing to aid them intheir hunt for this imposter claiming his friends name, just name it.
Tristan decides not to push his luck and only asks 3 things, has the pirate passedthrough here, where di the map lead, and couldhe have 2,000 imperial guardsmen plus officers to help them in their hunt for this criminal, naturally Francisco is more than happy to oblige them in this and supplies them with thecoordiantes, the men and the fact that a man claiming to hadarak fel had passsed by the planet not three days past.

Pleased with the acquisition, The crew turn down more offers for help and quickly make the warp jump as soon as they can, and make good time before pelenor decidesto spice things up. during the jpourney throguh the warp, the gellar fields flicker, and shadows begin to coalesce on the bridge, as a warp daemon begins to form, he kindlygives us a turn for it to fully form. Chuck rolls the higest initiative and goes first, chraging the still forming daemon, stirking it, and then we go to roll damage...
Righteousfury, he confirms and then rolls a nother 9, this combined with his high strength and best quality chainsword manage to kill this daemon. with a single blow.

>>13494092
that's your area pelenor

>>13494127

Fuck i fucking hated chuck so much right then

>>13493981
>>13494127

Hah!

I totally called it.

I win!

>>13494092

Ahh, crap. Its on a Usb stick around here somwhere....

I can try to find it. one sec

Aha!

Actually Found it:

The 'Astra Imperator' is a Ship of Great age and Experience, Constructed During a Golden age of the Imperium as the Personal Vessel of Admiral Nathin Sarvus, and was Completed just Prior to the Beginning of the Horus Heresy. The Admiral Funded great portions of the Ships Construction with his Own personal Fortune, as Well as the addition of Powerful Archeotech from Humanities Dark age of technology that the Admiral had encountered and Hoarded In his Service to The Imperium During the Great Crusades.

However, with the Beginning of the Horus Heresy and the battle between the Various space marine Chapters, Admiral Sarvus fell in with the Forces of Chaos. Pledging his fleet to Warmaster Horus in their Battles Against the Imperium, However "Tristan Aphesius" Interim commander of the 'Astra Imperator' was not swayed to his Admirals cause, instead leading a mutiny and purging his Ship of those now Aligned with Chaos, before fighting his way from the fleet, Managing to cripple two of the Chaos Ships before fleeing to The Warp.

>>13494211

PART 2:


For these Deeds, as well as "Heroic and Stalwart Actions, Worthy of the Emperor's Name" Tristan Aphesius was Rewarded A Warrant of Trade by the High Lords of Terra, allowing him all the privileges of the rank of "Rogue Trader" in recompense for his Great deeds in the Name of the God-Emperor.

The 'Astra Imperator' fell into Disuse in the 38th Millennium, crippled beyond hope of traveling any distance for repairs. The rogue trader in Command at the time ordered The ship to be landed on the nearest planet, a uncolonized Primitive world that had yet to have much real contact with the Imperium. It was not untill two Centuries into the 40th Millenium that Descendants of Tristan Aphesius, still acting under the Blessing of His original Warrant of Trade returned to the planet with the means and intent of repairing and Re-launching the Ship, and using their Great ancestors Signature vessel to Once again make the House of Aphesius Renown among the Stars of the Koronus Expanse.

Somthing else i had prepared, being the explorator and All:

still related to the ship

Lord Captain,

"Thus do we invoke the Machine God. Thus do we make whole that which was sundered."

The Hymn of reforging has been prepared and performed, and I am very pleased to report that the Machine Spirit has been appeased, and the Warp drives are once again operating at peak efficiency. You may inform the Warp Guide that the Omnissiah Is pleased and once more grants this ancient vessel the ability to travel through the Immaterium.

As for the state of the hull, I'm not sure if there is much we, Indeed anyone in this sector could do. Even with the great forges of Mars herself at my disposal I doubt I could undo two millennia of neglect, and a further eight millennium of devout service before that. We must accept that the ship is now operating at peak efficiency, and, as much as it pains me to say it, We will never achieve the level of operational capacity that the 'Astra Imperator' Had in the days whe-

+TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED – FRAGMENT LOST+

Which Leads me Into the Information you Wanted regarding the Archeotech Components we have discovered Installed on the Ship:

suffice to say that we were allpretty dumbstruck at this, and several mintueslater when our jawswere off the floor, we moved on and dropped into realspace and began scanning the planets for details (sorry for the sketchy details, my memory is shite as pelenor will agree), chuck naturally volunteers to operate our EXTREMELEY VALAUABLE ARCHEOTECH component. he makes it explode
dont ask me how
dont ask me why
blame the gm.

so, we first go to the big planet with the large building with a giant crystal on top, yadda-yadda.
without much forthought tristan deploys a squad of guardsmen in a transport, they crash intothe invisible field of no-technology and plummet to their deaths.

at this point Lucius sagely advises they check out at least one ofthe other planets before destroying more valuable craft in attempting to land, Tristan agrees to it for once and we set off to the plaent closest to the star, finding a crashed admech transporter, andthen we discover a recurring thing for Tristan, he can't pilot landing craft.
not in a he can never do it, he just drives it like he drives the astra imperator, by swiminging the controls back andorth violently, now this matters not in a several kilometer long spaceship, but in a little transport, it's almsot a death sentence (he rolled 35 out of the 34 he needed)

Plasma Drive (Jovian Pattern “Warcruiser” Model): 112% Efficiency – Never before have I seen Engines of this power or efficiency, they should be Able to Easily Propel the Astra at more than a 9% increased top speed, Perhaps more if the Machine Spirit can be Coerced to the Cause.

Void Shield: (Castallan Array): This technology is simply a Marvel, I'm sure the Mago's on Mars would give up a Titan Legion to Acquire such a device. The Arrays and projectors are arranged in Such a manner it would be possible to Double the Sheilding capacity for short Periods of Time, With the Machine Spirits blessing and the proper Rituals of Course.

Bridge: The ships Command Center is truly one of antiquity, the Cogitators are advanced far beyond anything I have studied or Even Imagined possible. Whilst Commanding from the Bridge any orders you Give will be processed much faster, and to add to this, there appears to be some strange Connection between the Bridge control panels and the Maneuvering Thrusters, allowing faster processing of orders and more calculated burns. I cannot express just how much this adds to the overall Maneuverability of the Ship.

I am Frankly Amazed +TRANSMISSION CORRUPTED – FRAGMENT LOST+ and should be considered a prize in itself, worth the riches of many Lifetimes.

“To break with ritual is to break with faith.”
Enginseer Prime Lucius Macharius of the 'Astra Imperator'
++End Transmission++

>>13494254

Yeah, I really hated him at that point, and he rolled something stupid like a 94 on the tech use test. Thus - Explosion.

And god, Tristan cannot drive, you do eventually run out of adjectives for "The shuttle swings about wildly, before scraping into the ground with a large cruch" ect ect

still reading fa/tg/uys?

>>13494291

I am, laughing my as off at how fast this is falling to shit.

this was your first and last endeavor, right?

>>13494301
nein, our first of 3 so far, shit went less silly second time around, then went fucking brilliant the last time

>>13494227

So what? you had a PF of like 28 or some shit... Really rich you are.

As for the game, Wow your RT sounds like a complete failure in everything except blather.

On a side note, what happened to the navigator? did he drop out after pizza?

so after a 2 km trek thanks to our rt's pants-on-head piloting skills we arrive at the ship, find ourselves a heavycombat servitor instorage, still inworkign order, raid the logs to discover that the big buildingwas actuallywhere we wanted to go, and then chuck and lucius dragged the stasis bin onto our transporter seconds before chuck got severe sunburn.
we get back to the big crystal place and get out, lucius stays behind in case the anti-tech field fries his tech bits he needs not to die,keeping his new pet servitor with him.

now in honesty at this part i went to the toilet for a fair while and missed all the action, so pelenor will have to tell it for me

Looks like I'm beginning the telling Early, because His uploads just died :/

let's try this again.
i forgot to mention that prior to the demon we did that shitty pilgrim vessel thing, quite well too,for when we heard the cracked up transmission coming from them, our first reaction was to hit it with everything we had, just to be safe. this was followed by pelenor trying to guilt trip us by describing their dying screams, before the 2 raiders popped out of nowhere, missed and barely scratched us before the joke "broadside the engines" became standard. we hit the first raider in the engines and critical'd, causing it to blow it self up,with enough force to almost destroy the other raider as well. which the fires it caused did the next turn, after it missed it's attack a second time

Anywho, Our Intrepid group continue to make their way into the ruins of this fancy-dancy Civilization (And yes, The navigator is still with us. We figured it out later, he made three rolls this game, and failed all of them) All the while they are seeing the bodies of brutalized Imperial Guardsman, but no sign of what exactly killed them until they eventually reach the area near the Inner sanctum and see a whole bunch of orks. The players, now beginning their annoying bent to not allow me any fun decided to call in their bloody IG regiment and proceed ot mop up most of the Orks with the 200 men that they had brought down, while I gleefully slaughter most of the IG's in a narrative battle as a form of payback, until finally there are about 8 Orks, 10 guardsmen and out little Squad left to do Battle. Sarvus opens up with his meltapistol, and manages to jam the bloody thing. Tristan fires a few rounds at one of the nearby Nobs, and Chuck Runs in Screaming, and manages to take out a Ork in one turn with his chainsword. At this stage i rub my hands rather gleefully and set the orks to destorying the remainder of our RT's allies, before turning my attention to the player, the Ork Psyker charging up an Attack green Energy flickering around his head as he grins Crazily. After two more rather pointless rolls by our regular members, buffcake runs in, and manages to, in a single turn, decapitate the psyker, sender his head towards the clustered orks who watch, dazed, as the roll of 100 leves the still crackling head to stare up at them, then exlode, decimating the remaining enimies and leaving me a fuming wreck as i begrudgingly allow my players to continuing forwards, no worse for the wear.

>>13494324
well, realisticly, a pf of 28 is still enough to buy a small planet.
he does ok in combat, not spectacular, but ok.
and Sarvus was hanging around being of no import at this point

you too are trolling Right? there is not possible way that this is real... I haven't laughed this hard since Victus Kahn

So, anyone else Still reading, or are you all asleep?

lololol this is great

Moar, Moar i say!

it's at this point i get back from the call of nature, get a jumbled recount of waht happened and we get on our merry way, using the buildings logs to locate the righteous path, we haul ass over there, dock and move into the bridge, as lucius attempts togetbasic functions back online, 2 heavycombat servitors whir to life and launch an attack on Tristan, one even manages to scratch his armour, then chuck happens, charging one of them, and cutting it in twain with a single blow followed by Tristan unloading into the next, bringing it down to around 2 wounds, then a miracle happens, andangels cry as Sarvus finally hitshis target for the first and only time since we started, killing it. wethen order our men to begin shipping the the goods over the astra, when who appears but good old hadarakfel, our new archnemesis, only to get 'team rockets blasting offf agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaained' with another broadside to the engine ( pelenor was lazy and we were low ontime)

and that is the end of session 1, no trolls, as true as i can remember it

well, that was fun, writing up a tale at 5 in the morning, you happy now pele?

>>13494560

meh, scaling was obviously an Issue for our Overpowered little group, and space combat confused me. Still. Their ship was doing stupid damage.

>>13494586
the best part is the most op character is still no in it till next session

>>13494592

God, I shudder when i think of the monstrosity you have created

>>13494599
just hope he never dies, or Mordechai Aphesius will come in

aww did all of you abandon me?
damn, and i was kind of gearing up for endevour 2: electric boogaloo

I'm not one of the Originals, But i wanna hear about Electric Boogalo

Did you conquer a planet?

>>13494687
we took over an asteroid base and added a ship to our armee

>>13494698

That actually does sound pretty cool.

and did i catch word of a combat Accountant?

>>13494687
sadly, i've lost my writing mojo for the moment, i'll write it up later, so keep an eye out for us here or on suptg, we'll be around, maybe
>>13494715
that's just another thing that results from when i first explained the classes to the guys, seneschals were described as ninja accountants, it was funny ,so it stuck

Polite sage:

OP, you're capitalizing random words. Stop it.
