So, you are right now on your flagship 'Eternity', near a rising warp storm...

You've received what you think was a distress signal from Nordgrim, your vassal-world, but now with this storm a dilemma weights on you shoulders:

a) Go for the Nordgrim (40% chance that warp storm will badly damage your fleet)
b) Leave them to fend for themselves... When eventually storm dies down, we will come to investigate what has happened there

Map related - X is your fleet position

>>17723609
>>17723538
nope, my name wasn't back.

added stats for your forces

Been enjoying your quest from the beginning OP, keep up the good work!

>>17723609
Can we make any communications with the techpriest we left there for project revelation, now that we're closer?

How long would it take for non-warp travel.

Or warp-skip travel.

40% isn't a too big a risk, but I think we'd be better to wait it out.

>>17723644
Good to have you with us, I hope you will continue to enjoy it.

>>17723655
40% chance is what you can get with all of Voroshilovs, Moriarty's and Jarred's skills combined. It involves calculated jumps to areas that have not yet been overtaken by the storm, travelling over real space to the next 'bubble' of calmness in the storm and jumping again. Straight through the warp would be suicide. Conventional journey would take about 4 years.

Estimated time of

>>17723729
>>17723721

There is 10% annual chance that storm will end. Each year this number increases by 5%.

>>17723729
The predominant amount of warp storm is located straight in front of Nordgrim. Could we reposition to the north and then use a comparativly safer rout?

It may take a little longer. But i dont think we should take any risks.

>>17723796
>>17723721
Roll d10 (ten) for repositioning attemp.

rolled 2 = 2

>>17723858
Well. It was just a question. But, here goes.

>>17723870
God damn, we're screwed

>>17723870
>>17723884
Not exactly. you needed to roll lower than characters skill and Nostradamus has 4(7-3 because of storm).
You managed to find a safer route with 20% chance of getting damaged. Do you try to reach Nordgrim, or go to ten to a hundred other matters that need your attention?

>>17723938
Lets take advantage of this opening and book it to Nordgrim

>>17723538
inb4 Brother-Initiate Anonymous is a Alpha Legionnaire

>>17723949
Fair enough, lets roll.

>>17723949
Seconding this

>>17723969
I used to be that anonymous battle brother Korosov !

>>17723949
Navigator Nostradamus:
>Milord, please remember, that the warp storm is getting only stronger with each month... Even if we will manage to get through, we may not be able to come back until it is over.

Chaplain Nimrod:
> Master, don't listen to him, those people on Nordgrim are your sworn subjects! We took their oath and promised to protect them!

Captain Scipius:
>Nimrod, I must disagree... We have to save our brothers from Onyxians as soon as possible. If we will get stuck on this forsaken rock, only Emperor knows what will happen to our operations all over the Sector while we are away...

Emmisary Kiotan:
> And please remember that, we have some very important Imperial figures on board... It will be a PR nightmare for me to explain why they went missing for 10 years.

Witch-Hunter Omiron:
>Spit on that, Lord. In my bones I feel that something terrible is happening on Nordgrim, which is part of our realm. It is our sworn duty to save, Lord!

>>17724025
Nordgrim has provided us both initiates and STC's. We will go protect them.

>>17723949
Agreed, lets go to Nordgrim.

Provided our streangth is good enough. We still have our guard regements right? I wish we had more tanks for the guard.

It might be an idea to send angelus novus to get a sisters of battle group and bring them as re-enforcments for after we get to nordgrim. Incase somthing happens.

>>17723938
Let's try and reach Nordgrim; they're counting on us for protection.

Also, shit yeah, Brother-Librarian.

>>17724025
We could split our fleet, send 2/3s to save the missing third and send the rest to Nordgrim.

>>17724048
>>17724044
>>17724043
Roll d100 for safe passage.

As warp storm is getting stronger, there is small chance, that you will receive reinforcements. Even Sororitas won't risk that much.

However, you can leave Angelus Novus with someone in charge[decide] to supervise your chapter while you are gone and to release your prisoners[waldorf and his mistress] if you want to.

rolled 14 = 14

>>17724106
EMPRAH BLESS MY ROLLS!

>>17724112
VERY MUCH BLESSED.
Not quite sure who to leave behind to manage things though.

>>17724025
(as far as i understand from what happened last session)

Waldorf and this mistress are to with the angelus novus to mostar. Unbeknownst to them they are to be watched closely for purity by the Cannoness as they organise there own transport off of mostar. While following this
>>17724044

"I would better like to continue this investigation, but duty to the emperor calls."

Moriarty is to come with us as a tactical advisor and to test him in battle.

>>17724106
"It is my belife, that the great enemy wants Nordgrim for some reason, once we destroy their objective and scatter their battle lines, i expect the warp storm to dissipate in intensity as there is no tactical reason for it"

>>17724106
Rollin.

>>17724131
I agree. Moriarty comes with us. Though I am in favor of splitting our forces slightly. Should we be stuck on Norgrim for some time, we should still try to make progress somewhere else. I say send Scipius with the Angelus Novus and about 100 marines to "hold down the fort" as it were, and continue our operations of freeing our Lost Third from Onyx

>>17724112
>>17724121
In case you do not return, it is a very important decision. He will represent your chapter and shape it in his own vision while you are away.

rolled 2 = 2

>>17724198
Goddamn it...

>>17724216
The Emperors grace is not with us today Brothers.

I do want to say Nimrod, He is the most reasonable in his views and level headed among our potentials but I dont want to leave him behind really.
>>17724241
We are attempting to roll low Brother.

>>17724241
The lower the roll, the better.

>>17724265
It seems I was mistaken to think the Emperor would abandon his chosen so quickly.

>Thank fuck for that!

Now that that's out of the way we need to decide for a Acting Chapter master while we are away and to be fair...I'm not really liking any of our choices

While in warp we should take a good look at our 2nd generation (if they are with us) to see if they have THE TOUCH!

>>17724257
>>17724198

The way i see it is; today is the day for everyone to do their jobs. As Marines.

But if i had to leave someone, it wold be Nimrod. He is the only one that has enough intellegence and caution to see the chapter through.

Remember, look to the chaplians for our successor.

>>17724354
We *did* promise Nimrod that he could lead the 2nd generation of Marines into Glorious battle. It would makes sense that he should lead them as a whole.

I will place my faith in Nimrod to lead our Chapter with Courage, Honor and Pride, in our stead as we face down whatever evil that might reside on Nordgrim.

>>17724265
>>17724257
>>17724241
>>17724216
Usually, yes, but this time I phrased it as 20% chance TO BE DAMGED. Therefore, warp seems not to favourable to you today...

vote for who was left behind:
a) Scipius
b) Nimrod(he wants to take all Second Generation marines with him)
c) Cessarius
d) Omiron
e) ???

B.

>>17724485
B.

>>17724354
I guess.

>>17724395
Oh yer, i forgot.

We should take nimbrod with us.

Scipius is then next up. He seems eager to re-unite the men.

>>17724485
A.)

I was against splitting our forces, but if we have to we shouldn't leave Nimrod - we promised him he would lead 2nd generation in combat - and we are certainly going to get into some battle. I do not want to break our promise.

So I vote for leaving Cessarius

>>17724485
A.

>before entering the warp

"Scipius, you will take one hundred of our brothers and the Angelus Novus and remain here in our stead. You will have full control and sway over the chapter until our return. Take head bother, for this is no easy task. You will speak and act not just for yourself but for the chapter as a whole; such responsibility is not to be taken lightly.

I know however, that you are more than capable of living up t this task. And I have full faith in you that you will lead with humility, and restraint when exercising the might of the Emperor."

B.

>>17724635
Actually, After some more thought I change my vote to A, The second generation have a connection with Nordgrim, why keep them away from it.

>>17724395
>>17724379
Before you part, Nimrod approaches you:
>I will not fail you, my Lord. Do you have nay last instructions for me?

as >>17724660 I change my vote to A

I also have a question: is there a chance, that Mastricht will return on its own?

>>17724697
I doubt it, Although there is a chance It could return as a ghost ship
>>17724689
"Protect that all we have protected and continue the search for The Third."

>>17724697
You can search for it or you can hope that it will return by itself. Either way, chances are small and because of that the names of the marines onboard are already in the Book of the Glorious Dead.

So it is Scipius, that you left? Am I right, that you left him 100 marines?

>>17724742
Yes.

>>17724742
Nimrod and the entire 2nd gen come with us. Scipius and 100 marines + the Angelus Novus remain behind in our stead.

Hasn't celetial lions captain told us, that his chapter master wants moriarty?
Are we going to ignore that request?

While reading previous part of the quest I thought that we should let celestial lions get moriarty.In return we should ask lions captain for oath, that moriarty will be return to us / won't be allowed to do any harm to our chapter

>>17724839
Put a landing party near the Project Revelation site.

Do we have the supplies for a large scale firefighting operation aboard the cruisers?

>>17724839
defensive formation, ready wapons for battle.
Then we search for survivours if we find any, we ask them what happened

>>17724864
The argument was resolved like this:
1. Moriarty works for you and you lend him resources to rebuild his fleet.
2. Officialy he is a free man.
3. Moriarty tells Celestial Lions and everyone else that he wasn't kidnapped and that he is with Rising Sons by his own free will.

How many men do you send, who commands them?

>>17724839
Send scouting groups at project revelation site and Dinotian's palace.

>>17724839
Dispatch a group of 30 marines (max capacity) in a thunderhawk to the sky arena on the mountain. Regroup with the initiates and training personell still there. Then proceed on foot (with a guide) to the excavation nearby.

Use drop pods to deliver a forward force to the emperors palace. We must try to help him coordinate his forces and to gain intel. Send the command squad and sternguard. They will clear the way for the thunderhawks to bring in the predator and warbikes.

>>17724928
size? method of insertion? commander?

firt group: 50 marines with Nimrod in command. We should also send Nam - he was complaining that he is bored couple of times. - that group should search project revelation site.
secound group: 50 marines with chapter master as commander and Omirions should search Dinotian palace

>>17724971
Agreeable.

>>17724971
I'll follow this.

>>17724971
I think that each group should also be joined by 1 techmarine & 1 apothecary - their expertise may be needed to uncover some clues, that normal marines may miss

>>17725086
Set up a perimeter, How is the other landing squad?

>>17725086
Do they actually have cunts for faces or are they metaphorically cunt faces? This is of dire importance.

>>17725086
Wash that marines mouth out with soap!

>>17725086
we should try to vox any survivours - but we should not betray our position.
We split our forces in two equal parts.
First demi-squad should set up safe perimeter should immidiate extracion be needed, second one, commanded by chapter master will try to search palace.
Ready reinforcements so our brothers could arrive y drop pods/thunderhawks if we get into any trouble.

>>17725086

What he said >>17725155
Also, are these zombies the citizens or some kind of warp creature? Depending on what we;re actually dealing with, we might want to call in drop pods a bit sooner.

>>17725111
>>17725110
I am afk for 30-60 minutes, flatmate needs me to pick him up from a pub.

It was just a poor choice of curses on Morcius' part.

Another Rising Son regular reporting in.

Looks like Nordgrim is fairly fucked. The Witch Hunter will probably be the only major survivors; we should try and save them before bombing the planet to Kingdom Come and recolonising it.

>>17725180
Nurgle.... Mother Fucker! Purge the immediate surrounding area with fire and bolter. Prepare the other squads to find the survivors in the mountains and see if we can reconvene with the archaeology squad we left here earlier.

>>17725180
-Emperor's family and survivors should be sent back via thunderhawk on The Eternity with valuable items we can gather (books from the occult library/ items chosen by the dinotian emperor and other objects of interest)
-We must ask the Emperor and his staff for a map/hint of the locations of the secret fortresses and other possible survivor's hideout.
-We must Vox Nimrod for details of what's left of project Revelation.
-We gather the most survivors possible by thunderhawks (10 marines per thunderhawk in case of zombies)
-Every survivor is to be put in separated containment cells aboard The Eternity (4/5months containement period for EVERYONE even the Dinotian emperor.)

>>17725332
I agree that nordgrim is fucked, but trying to kill all zombies with orbital bombardment will render this planet inhabitable.
I really don't want to order second exterminatus..
Maybe we should ask our apothecaries what are theirs opinions on zombie problem - if they will tell, that they can make some antidote or create virus, that will kill only zombies - we should think about it. If it's not possible we may consider training our marines & accuracy of ours ships weapons - maybe accuracy in orbital bombardement may be raised even a little.

As for now we should monitor progress of Nimrod team.

We will take any survivours into quarantine and allow our apothecaries to test them - if they are free of zombie plague we take them on our ships. Next thing we do is to go to witch hunters location. But we should make caution: we promised to keep them save, and we failed to deliver - they may not love us any more.

The big issue staring us in the face is the fact that most if all Nurgle created plagues and sicknesses are nearly uncureable and highly infectious.

>>17725566
Agreed caution. But this may be salvable, but we will need a lot of promethium.

Just got home and dang, we lost a lot. And for a dead, fuedal planet. Well fuck.

One more thing to consider: I'm not convinced of Moriarty loyalty and I'm a little suspicious of his and his friend lady- the one that didn't wanted to talk while beeing interrogated - I think we should order our librarian to scan their surface thoughts so we can be certain

>>17725718
Start setting up a base on the moon. Whether we stay or go we need some where to plunk down the Nordgrims, while the planet is being cleaned.

Argh! How could I miss it!?

>>17725180
Could you email me when you start the next thread?

>>17725788
We MAY have lost one techmarine and have lost some infrastructure. We can salvage the Witchhunters. We're stuck here for TEN YEARS.

We're going to WORK to CLEANSE this world. Find out where the Witchhunters are and go speak with them, and then have some of our brothers head out to Revelation.

Oh, and if the Celestial Lions haven't left yet, have them come help us. We can always use more bolters for the purging.

>>17725832
I'm not refering to the loss of the techmarine. That's not sure yet. I'm referring to the loss of an escort and 22 marines. Plus the fleet damage. Not cheap and not fun. And DEFINITELY not worth it.

>>17725832
I think it has been implied (if not stated outright) that we parted with the Lions on good terms but we are firmly on the other side of the warp storm; no one is getting to us without great expense to themselves or until this warp storm dissipates.

>>17725902
What a shame. Do you suggest we fly BACK THROUGH THE WARPSTORM?

This is WAR son, shit happens. We gotta live with it. We'll get that number back up when we find the lost Third. Right now we have shit to DEAL WITH.

We have to consolidate our forces with the Witchhunters, strike back against the greatest concentrations of foes, destroy any daemons that may....

Oh hell, I just realized. This world just got hit by Nurgle's Rot. IN THE MIDDLE OF A WARP STORM. Daemons are going to be EVERYWHERE! We need to get to those mountains NOW before Unclean Ones and Plaguespreaders start popping up like huge rotten daisies.

>>17725902
We collectively decided that our obligation was to Nordgrim. The sacrifices were unfortunate but for the greater good (pardon the pun) of Nordgrim; We are here now and we are not leaving until Nordgrim is safe again.

>>17725996
Unless you plan to steal Isha from the throne-room of Nurgle and bring her down here to fix this, then I don't know how we could possibly ever make it safe.

>>17725332
ffs, we dont have any nukes all we have are lances which are lazer weapons. Added to the fact that marines CANT ORDER EXTERMINATUS. Your suggestions suck.

>>17725566
Nordgrim is not fucked. This is no worse than any other enemy. Deploy the imperial guard and send the marines to key strategic points.

If we dont retake the planet, we will never recoup the losses of the ship and the 22 marines.

>>17725902
I agree.
But we are there and we should try to take what we can of it. We should:
- start to make repairs to our fleet.
-send more marines to project revelation. If I remember correctly it's a site of crashed colony ship, so we could -try to use it to build more permanent base of operations on the ground or try to move it to moon and use it as fundaments to our monastery
-start preparations to make third generation of marines (we have almost 600 initiates!)
-study nordgim occult library
-maybe our apothecaries can use this plague to prepare anidote/cure or some sort of virus bomb if plague is not caused by some warp fuckery (posession of exterminatus class weaponry should really improve our standing in any negotiations, but I don't want us to become some chaos worshippers )

>>17726089
I agree with these priorities.

But i think that after the excavation is complete, we should convert the remaining tunnels into some sort of special forward base. It is right by an initiate training arena.

>>17726089
We could also use the imperial guard to train the able civilian population to fill out theyre ranks.

Dinotian Emperor is dead, however his 19 year old son, Hennrik, is legitimate heir, who views you as gods and saviours.

Palace is already mostly looted, but you take whatever is left of value.

>>17725825
i will email you.

Yes, you parted with Celestial Lions.

>>17726089
I'll also agree to these priorities when Skargan gets back.

>>17726089
We have no WMDs.

Of course the plague is caused by warp fuckery! It's due to Nurgle-tainted food. Lexicanum is down right now, but I'm pretty sure there's no cure for Nurgle's zombie plague.

>>17726199
Speak of the devil, there you are.

how does one participate in this

>>17726295
Skargan tells you the scenario, and you give your input as to what you think the Chapter Master should do.

>>17726295
You type on your keyboard coherent thoughts in the english language as a means to communicate with fellow neckbeards.

>>17726295
Make up a name, join the thread. Suggest how our chapter should act.

>>17726199
order apothecaries to stury the plague.
let omirion focus his talents - zombies have to be controlled by psykers so maybe he can find some source.
order thorought scans of planet and moons surfaces and try to find places which could be location of our enemy.
Try to keep track of movement of large groups of zombies.
Proceed to witch hunters location and order brothers to ready themselves for incoming battle(with traitor marines?)

>>17726209
the fact that no one had found the cure doesn't mean that we will fail in that too. We won't loose anything if we try

>>17726332
We've got a few thousand Guardsmen. This seems like a decent place to use them. Have them cautiously scout any areas of importance and report immediately if they see any signs of danger or anything unusual.

>>17726199
Kristarchos is a clever man. I find it hard to belive he would let his discovery fall to the enemy. As he did not destroy it to deny its use to the enemy.
Perhapse he has moved the bulk of his research somewhere ellse? He would have had time to prepare as the zombies would have taken a while to reach full streangth and it was him who sent us the messege.

>>We have no WMDs.
I didn't said we have - I said that we should try to make one (if it don't involve taint or heresy)

>>17726332
Seconded
>>17726209
And those who have already been infected are doomed, but we find a way to give immunities, or at least find a way to retard it's growth.

>>17726453
The distress message mentioned something about a cargo...container? You might be right.

I hope you'll excuse my weak map drawing skills.

>>17726453
>imagine a hoard of pestulent zombies clambering up the skree of a mountain. Scary, not?

We should assist the witch hunters main fortress.

The message said something thar reaserch is hidden 'in a .. locals'.

Order destruction of group of zombies coming to capital - maybe we shoud use orbital bombardment to destroy biggest concentrations of zombies - then after couple of strikes mop up whats left in swift, decisive strikes?

Assist the witch hunters.

I guess that small island in the centre of the map is location of puppeter ordering the zombies - so send scouts to check other concentrations of zombies while we are helping witch hunters

Hypocrates:
>From my research, I believe that this plague, even though it is created by magic of Nurgle's sorcerers, in itself is biological. I don't think that we should have any hope for the tainted ones, but I am sure that I could find a cure that would grant immunity to this.

Morcius:
> Fuck those zombies sideways, sir, they are persistent bastards. One bolt is enough to stop a man, but you need at least three to kill a zombie. And there are millions of those cunts around here. If fighting will take more than a few months(and it bloody seems so) we will have to resort to using hand-crafted bolts... Fucking zombies with their fucking magics.

Nimrod:
>My lord, capital is dead and a huge enemy formation is moving here. We should retreat, unless you want to use the city's symbolical meaning to inspire the resistance of the Nordgrimians.

Moriarty:
>This world would be beautiful one, if not for those zombies. If you would grant me it's governance when it is cleared, I would consider our deal done.

>>17726523
At the moment we are vastly outnumbered on this continent. But i think we should leave the imperial guard to defend the capital.
While we go to the aid of the witch hunters.

>>17726684
"Moriarty, would you consider governance as a Rising Son's protectorate, much like Salvation? You pay us tithes, and we start the colonization effort and protect it?"

>>17726705
I'm against leaving guardsmen to defend empty city. the zombies probably were send here in response to our presence. we should move all of our forces to help witch hunters and this zomie horde should be destroyed from orbit or left alone for another time.
I hope the zombies won't be a threat if we kill theirs master. I'm afraid, that making zombies wasn't all whar that bastard planed

If you leave the guard to defend the capital the guard may just end up as zombies also

>>17726766
Nurgle Plagues are hard things to fight against, Personally I think we should relocate our total force (Including Guardsmen) to the Witch Hunter outpost

>>17726684
Order Hypocrates to start working. He should also try to produce some sort of biological weapon against zombies if thats possible

>>17726744
Moriarty:
>Indeed I would, marine. Tit for tat, as you plebs say.

>>17726779
I assume, that you are a new player. I am happy that you joined us, it seems Apothecaries will have a lot of work soon...

What do you do:
A) Relocate to Witch-Hunter strongholds(they are under-siege, quite dangerous)
B) Stand fast and defend the capital! For the Emperor!
C) Retreat into orbit.
D) Somehow search for Kristarchos(how?)
E) ???

>>17726788
Roll d10 and d100, please.

>>17726827
Could we do Commando missions against AA/AO emplacements? Once those are down, we can use
high-altitude air strikes and orbital strikes.

>>17726786
order scouts to check at least 2 other groups of zobmies to check if cultists/sorcerers support is common.
Tell Oghmar that trying to take leader is to risky - but if he thinks he can better the ods somehow - he should try.

We should prepare kill team. 50 marines with another 100 ready to reinforce them and strike 2 vital points of this horder: leader and AA/AO guns. One swift strike, and we could leave rest to the ships.
Send guard to help witch hunters

>>17726684
Hypocrates- then get on it.

Nimrod- No let get out and try to convine with the witch hunters.

Moriarty- No no, you have to prove that you are loyal to us, and that will take some time. But you see what we mean about finding worlds that need a good governor.

Things we need to do:
Pull forces out of the capitol
-Contact the witch hunters
-Start harrying the zombies outside the witch hunters stronghold.
-Build a base on the moon (to resupply from and house civilians on)

Kristachus would hopefully have found his way to one of the witchhunter strongholds.

>>17726845
Good thinking.

Destroy as many AA guns as possible. Then we should attack the main force with air support. They probably need a diversion to help them destroy the AA guns.

We could use the lisard population on the moon base to feed the population down on the ground with non-tainted food.

we should not name anything ater xenos.
If we have to we can find better names amongst our brothers called by emperor to sit by his side or other imperial heroes

Battle-Brother Kairon:
>Lord, listen to me, you must listen to me... Emperor speaks through me! I know what is going to happen, Lord. Give me your sword and let me go out against the zombies alone... I will defeat them! Please! I know that you didn't want me as a chaplain, but you have to believe me now! Believe me, oh Lord!

>>17726845
High danger, high casualties, but possible. It would have to aerial/drop pod insertion, 10 marine squad would have about 60% chance to accomplish this mission. However their extraction would be near impossible and they would perish with orbital bombardment.

You start building a base on the moon.

Witchhunter don't have vox tech to contact them... However Ogmar believes that he with a landspeeder could get past the siege without triggering AA defensive rings.(85%) He will carry a vox caster and you will be able to make contact.

I think if the tech marine were still alive he would find a way to contact us?

Contact the tech marine via some kind of machine code?

>>17727014
If it's 100% fatality chance nevermind. Marines are too important. We have already shown we value our marine's lives most of all.

>>17727014
I say let him go on his suicide run, but give him a cameo cloak so he could try to hide after destroying his objectives.

Would it be possible to come in from the sea and do a supply drop on the witch hunters stronghold safely?

I think that our grander plan should be guerrilla warfare instead of direct conflict.

>>17727172
Cameo cloak or some other kind of stealth tech (if we have it)

So you give Rising Sword to Kairon?
Yes/no

Moving in any sizeable(more than 1 thunderhawk) force will have only 70% chance to get through undetected.

Their AA capability isn't as strong as AO, but it still could costs us those precious few planes we've got.

and there is situation where eldar teleporter would be handy..

We can use diversion to help our strike team to get out after compleating objective

>>17727223
I feel like giving a random battle brother the relic of the chapter is a waste. Nothing against him, but it's kind of a big deal. It's THE rising sword. Maybe a different power weapon if we have one.

>>17727258
Kairon:
>Lord, I swear, He, who rules from Terra, spoke to me in a dream... No other weapon will do except Rising Sword! I cannot explain it, Lord, but my purpose is clear for me...

>>17727231
Indeed, but it is sold and gone. However you still have some heretical texts that might have similar spells, feel free to check them out.

What kind of diversion, elaborate. This diversion should manage to draw chaosites and zombies from a few mile radius to give a chance for extraction.

>>17727334
I'm against it, but we doooo have the halberd...

Other people's opinions? No for me.

>>17727334
Kairon: Do it and may you be blessed.

I think we should land 100 or so Marines behind the two armies attacking the witch hunters and them start harrying them and laying traps. Also try to snipe their leaders/sorcerers but only if you have two escape route.

>>17727384
I really wanna try it, but then again the reason we turned him down was because of concerns over chaos taint...

Oh what the heck, I vote yes.

>>17727444
>>17727446
Kairon thanks you, takes off his armour, dresses up in pilgrims clothing, takes the Rising Sword from you and leaves.

Well, I have some lectures tomorrow, so we'll continue this next time.

Thank you for playing and goodbye.

>>17727561
Alrighty, here goes nothing. Thanks for everything man!

G'night

>>17727561
I hope that isn't meant to be a disguise. If it is, take the sword right back off him.

>>17727879
STOP HIM! He's insane! HE'S NINE FEET TALL. THE HERETICS WILL NOTICE.

>>17728179
I loled at that. Do you know how much it hurts when sour ale comes out your nose???
