And never will. I bet reactions like this helped push him over the edge! 4th captain: Thank you for your trust, my liege. 2nd captain reaction: rolled:100 result:critical succsess 2nd captain: Brother, I will stand with you; for all of time, please do not become the MONSTER I had to fight, I believe fighting you a 2nd time would metaphorically break my twin-hearts. 4th captain: I am honored to still have your friendship, brother Well thats settled. Furthermore, Keilos you will recieve all the resources you require. Get the new flagship built. 2nd captain, I believe in honor of your valiant efforts and those of your company, the name of your company from this day forth will be 'traitor-bane'. Keilos bows respectfully and takes his leave 2nd company new preferred enemy: Chaos Chaplain give our esteemed second captain a purity seal. Chaplain: It would be my honor. |another 50-50 for who we do our purity check on| 1-3: just 2nd company, nothing out of the ordinary they just fought chaos 4-6:Whole chapter rolled:2 As I am sure you are well aware it is standard codex procedure for your men to be tested for any corruption, so I want all of your company to be evaluated for taint. 2nd captain: Of course my lord! Furthermore, the nature of this threat will remain secret. They were traitor marines. That is all, traitor marines. Librarian you will take a thunderhawk for a secret mission to raid the librarium and find out what brought this corruption about, once you return we purge the vessel. Chaplain you also have an assignment, after you and your human priests have evaluated the marines of 2nd company I want you to build a grand temple. The one you originally visioned. |300 req spent| The chaplain bends his knee Chaplain: Thank you my lord The chaplain takes his leave 2nd Captain I want you and fourth to collaborate and pick 25 scouts to become astrates. 2nd and 4th captain take there leave As for you third captain, we're going to the surface. Time to talk to my old friend the governor. |Fast forward to reaching the governor| Governor. Governor: Chapter master! My friend! How have you been the past few yhears, you know you gave my general quite the scare! Ha! Ah, you know me i'm sure the lad will do fine, but I think he needs to be made of sterner stuff. Governor: My thoughts exactly, don't worry he'll be sorted out. Good, good; this isn't exactly the reason for my meeting though. Governor: Mhm? Then what is? I have three questions for you. The first is what can you tell me of the neighboring planets. Rolled:34 Governor: Not much to say, two moons that we haven't colonised, three planets; two are death worlds and as far as we know uninhabited, one is a hive world; but keeps to itself. So far our economy is self sufficient. That brings me to my 2nd question, how can we approve the economy? Governor: Oh, well; If you could establish a trade agreement with the hive-world that would certainly boom up our planets economy. The establishment of mines and looking for resources on the moons would be helpful. There's also the possibility of the death worlds possessing some sort of resource that could approve our economy. Alright, thank you; my last question is an important one. We have constructed a fortress. But, it's a blind fortress that can not see the enemies we fire at. I want to establish long range scanners. How do you think the public will react? Also, can we even achieve this. Rolled:87 Governor: They'll react better then the time you tried to ship away our pyskers thats for certain! Yes, I do believe its possible. I'll start drafting up plans and talking to a few people, when we figure out how to implement it i'll join you on one of those meetings you like having yearly. Thank you my friend. You spend the next month with your friend, catching up remembering old times and discussing the future. Meanwhile: Librarians mission: The librarian has reached the battle barge. Chaos is trying to influence your librarian |need a 5 to resist| Rolled: 9 Result: successful resist The librarian journeys through the barge and- rolled: 3 Is ambushed by two dozen bloodletters Combat: rolled:33 your librarian banishes a few daemons but is taking hits Lib health: 80% daemons remaining: 20 rolled: 38 once more a few daemons are banished but he's still under attack lib health:60% daemons remaining:16 rolled: 92 your librarian banishes half a dozen daemons without taking any damage himself lib health:60% daemons remaining:10 rolled:75 another 4 daemons die, your librarian takes a minor wound Lib health: 55% daemons remaining: 6 rolled:27 Lib takes more damage only one daemon banished Lib health: 40% Daemons remaining:5 Rolled: 51 Lib takes more damage 2 daemons banished Lib health: 30% Daemons remaining: 3 Rolled: 100 Lib psychically heals himself, closing some wounds and banishes the rest of the daemons Lib health:45% daemons remaining:0 Chaos is trying to influence your librarian |need a 10 to resist| rolled:31 Your librarian reaches the lexicanum and rolled: 76 He finds nothing in regards to what could've set up the chapters heresy, however he does acquire several tomes of knowledge that do not exist within our library, he will review said tomes with the tech-marine later. Chaos is trying to influence your librarian |need a 15 to resist| Rolled:100 Your librarian quite literally just banished the daemonic taint on this section of the ship. Wow. He makes it back to the thunderhawk with no issues. After making it back the battle barge is purged. A substantial amount of munitions were fired. Nothing is left. Results of evaluation of 2nd company's purity: Rolled:47 Nothing out of the ordinary found. The one individual who is influenced by Chaos is clearly not suffering any signs of corruption from it, despite being under its influence. Results of new astrates added to 2nd company: Rolled:87 Thanks to the combined effort of 2nd and 4th captain 25 recruits were found suitable to replace the ones lost. Imperial fist crusade: rolled:8 Things are not looking up. Another twenty men from first company are dead another 100 fists dead in the ground. Still no word sent, you can't help or do anything because as far as you know nothing is out of the ordinary. Random event: 1-1-4: 1: Major negative event 1: Affects the galaxy at large 4: Orkz Ghazkull has declared another waagh the likes of which have not been seen since the still ongoing war on Armageddon. As of yet no one knows where he will strike, only that intel suggests the information I already stated. 900 req spent this turn. 450 available for next turn.
Turn 6: *I wonder, how first captain fares with his crusade. He's due back in three years* You make it to the meeting first, again. Everyone including the governor arrives shortly after. Your 2nd captain is not late and he's looking much more recovered your apothecary is light-heartedly discussing with him his injuries and how he expects by next year for the 2nd captain to be in full recovery. Your chaplain is absent busy setting out to have his temple built. What news? Keilos: The plans are being executed perfectly. We have all the resources needed for a new battle-barge, the labour will cost a bit and of course a beauty such as this requires a name |400 req to pay for the labor and choose a name for our new flagship| Governor: I've done some research, that scanner you talked to me about. It can be done. But, this thing is going to be costly; to do as you suggested will require an effort not seen since we transformed this world into a fortress |2000 req needed, that's not a typo| Apothecary: By next year I will be able to take on apprentices to teach the ways of an apothecary Librarian: My two pupils are turning out well with the resources you gave me, soon enough they will be ready to serve you. |3 more years| 4th captain: I'm ready to start looking for new recruits again. |25 req needed| 3rd captain: I personally want our tech-marine to expand the manufactorum so that chainsword production can begin |250 req| Keilos gives a annoyed stare at the 3rd captain Keilos: I'm sure if the chapter master wills it, he would let me know. We have more important matters right now though. Such as our new battle-barge. Speaking of which once its done, what do you intend to do with the old one? |What do you do chapter master?|
Also, for your convenience Force organization: 1 chapter master, 4 captains, 1 librarian, 1 chaplain, 1 tech-marine, 1 apothecary, 243 battle brothers 24 of which are a sergeant in ranking and 7 of those sergeants are veterans. 144 scouts, fourteen of which at least have the experience of a battle brother. 1st company: 43 marines 4 of which are sergeants 2nd company: 100 marines, 10 are sergeants, 7 of those sergeants are veterans 3rd company: 100 marines, 10 are sergeants 4th company: 144 scouts fourteen of which are battle brother in experience. (Sergeants) You now also have 13 thunder-hawks (can transport 390 men, so your whole chapter), 5 rhino's and your empty dreadnaught. Notable accomplishments: During a rebellion your 4th captain ruthlessly ended it and exterminated a cult that had taken root in your homeworld. Your 2nd captain is a total boss. See page 21. Your librarian solo'd 24 bloodletters and solo'd 10 chaos marine veterans Your tech-marine is a genius and gets his assigned tasks done.
Finish the fleet ship, I wish to call it the Imperiums Wrath for 400 req. Give the 4th captain what he needs 25 req. I wish that the captain of the 3rd company and his men go to the close by hiveworld to open up trade with our planet to boost our own economy. Lastly the marines fighting in the 1st company should have at least some veterans by now, they have been in more action then those of the 2nd company, they're alive they must be doing something right.
1rst captain doing right? i think the 3rd captain need some love if we are aware of the ork give the 3rd captain the responsabilty to training his men ( and if possible set up appropiate defence on all the planets) also make him decide the appropiate weapon, chainsword or heavy bolter or plasma etc.... And we can go personally with the 2nd captain as escort with his men for the diplomatic mission. if we don't know about orks send 3dth in diplomatic mission + evaulate defence :you are our special snowflakes etcetc. complete the new battle barge and plan to give the new to 1rst+3rdt and the old battle barge to 2+4th and the new reserve company. (we need some special thing to do for the crew? it's automated recruitment? we need to find a navis nobilites guild? if in the future we lost a ship in the warp bettere double the protection so we can avoid) Ask our librarian to find the 1rst company ship and have a detailed battle report and update on the mission, if we cannot find our ship contact the imperial first for update. order the 4th captain to evaulate recruit for become astartes on our new reserve company under the chapter master pro tempore command. Our librarian what rank have? If is not yet the chief librarian it think must official become. Also have destroyed a lot of demon and have been exposed to a source of corruption without taint so we can "trust" it for now, maybe a crux terminatus? a permission and resource to craft a special force weapon? i don't know i will add my vote to the best proposal. Maybe our badass librarian can resolve with some "diploacy" the rogue psyker problem "look at me look wath you can become if you follow the emperor you can save your family form the dangers and protect your friend etc etc join the pdf get sanctioned and you can save your world from the dangers of the xenos".etc etc BUT it's wounded and need some turn to return to 100% so it not a good idea for now i let you evaluate.
I am glad my asking around with the Governor helped! 1. Tell the 4th he should not recruit new ones yet as we have plenty of recruits, he should set up an intensive training program with them up to get them ready for that "waaagh" (if we know the ork is on the rise, they should be trained to face orks in particular!) 2. The 3rd Captain is our Armory Oversser dude, right? Since our battle-barge is apparently out of ammo he should get a supplying plan with the mechanicus up to make sure we got enough ammo in future 3. The 2nd Captain shall go to the hive world to setup a trading agreement between the hive world and our homeworld since he is a chaos veteran (kinda) he is our special dude for chaos. So while he is running around there making sure we get that trading agreement he also check indirectly for Chaos taints over there, making sure everything is in order! 4. The Mechanicus get's all the awesome resources he needs, he is a damn genius! The ship shall be called "Imperiums Wrath" as suggested by BatBane 5. Ask the mechanicus what is needed to figure out if there are any good resources and how many on the moons we got. 6. Compliment the Librarian for his achievement and that we look into his students that they are as skilled as him + make him chief librarian (ALSO! ask what the tomes were about he found) 7. Before the 2nd Captain goes, give him one of the fancy untainted swords, that way he feels even more special and will slay more chaos for us.
This was a cool turn but that 2k req cost for a scanner is a really high, can't see building it any time sooner without some kind of a boost in our req gain. I vote for: - giving 400 req for a new battle-barge - I'm not really sure why we need it, since we don't have that much battle brothers to man it, but if the new ship comes supplied with weapons and ammo, then a little bit of firepower is not a bad thing. And concerning names, I vote for naming it "Doombringer" (mean mother f*****) . Our old barge should be kept safe orbiting our homeworld, in case some threat arrives. - 25 req to the 4th captain to train new scouts. I want that we (chapter master) oversee training of these new recruits along side with the 4th captain. I am against forming new reserve company since we are going to need new men to replace the ones lost in our 1st company. We ofc don't know any of it just yet., therefor I also vote for sending a message to Imperial Fists for updating us on the status of their campaign and our men (are they worthy, skilled etc - pretty much are they good for anything). -Send 3rd company on a mission to establish a connection with the hive world mentioned above, and to check if its possible for us to create a trading route. However, order 3rd captain that he should evaluate people from that world, with whom we are dealing with, to check if he thinks anything is out of the ordinary (maybe they are heretics, xeno-lovers etc), and I want to keep us posted. As for our Librarian, I understand that he will get Chief Librarian title when he finishes training his pupils - its not really normal for him to be a Chief Librarian with no other Librarians to order around. If this is not already intended to happen (by our GM), then I vote to give him that title when his students finish training. And as poster said previously, I sincerely hope that men of the 1st company will get some experience out of all that fighting and dieing
Also sorry for double post: Props to GM, each day you are really pulling it through with all the writing and storytelling, congratz on awesome work!
I vote Doombringer for the name. We assign 1st and 3rd company to the old Battle Barge, and 2nd and 4th to the new one, as Grig suggested. Give the 4th Captain what he needs to recruit new scouts. Give what Kelios needs to expand the manufactorum. I suggest we blow up the fucking Chaos ship before the dice turn on us. Why that shit is still there is beyond me. I think we should establish some sort of trade relations with the Hive World. Also stepping out of the game for a second, is there anything in the ruleset for establishing a safer and better conversion process for recruits?
