"And if this is not a test and you are risking the honor of not just yourself but three others, then what?" Arslan sighed a moment as he spoke. "Nevermind, let's just go get some answers."

"Riddle me this Brothers, what if you yourselves -are- the test? You wander over with little rhyme or reason out of the blue and ask us to break into the Chief Librarian's study. Something tells me that isn't so much the test as this is." Dantus rolled a wrist as he finished his point, tsking quietly at the pair making it hard to tell if he was already assured of his own correctness or not.

OOC duno what a crit fail is so, ok?

It was hard to stay on foot with the mad opponent, however Sariel knew that despite that he was fighting an uphill battle here he was yet to be beaten. "Yes, throw away everything you stand for Snake, let that rage consume you," he managed to smile as he took up a more defensive stance, ready to block every attack, force Iron Snake to do a mistake and attempt to counterattack to get his opponent in a more tight spot.

OOC lets try with that defensive stance. If he doesn't attack, to save me some time we can just count that I went forward and attacked with everything I have aimed at Iron Snake's face.

Lucious laughed slightly as he twisted around "if that is hiw you veiw combat i feel sorrow for you and your gene brothers and farther" as he spoke he aimed all gis blows against the ultramarines weapon and weapon arm

"No risk, no gain." Mortimer, the Mortifactor, threw into the conversation. Hermes nodded at the wisdom of his Brother.

"Then it would be a test to your obedience as well and you would be required to report us. At this point you are already in this, unless you warn the Captain and his generals about our plans." He smiled under his helmet, being diplomatic as to be expected by an Ultramarine, or just very silver-tongued. But with the mind made up, he started to march already out of the Observatory, Mortimer following close-by.

Sariel, the Dark Angel (3/9 WL) vs. Turamodus, the Iron Snake (6/9 WL)

The Iron Snake would not slow down now, but he did not calculate that Sariel perhaps was only take the damage to give him false security. Turamodus ran forth, jumped high and intended to stab the spear right into the head of the Dark Angel.

Sariel however stood vigilant, grabbed the spear just behind it's tip, and threw the Astartes across the room with a 360 degree rotation, letting Turamodus and his spear fly together and collide at the end of the cage, laying on the floor, but he would get up soon.

OOC: Turamodus has immobility for 1 turn. He still can attack if you move in his direction. You could throw your weapon in attempt to hit him (but you lose the weapon until you pick it up).

Lucious Umbra, the Blood Watchman (7/9 WL) vs. Dromulus, the Ultramarine (4/9 WL)​

"I pity you for your said history, as you cannot even proclaim your Primarch's name with pride and honor! Hiding behind icons and supporters of your organization!" Dromulus roared as their melee continued.

OOC: You had quite a lucky bunch of rolls there..... FINISH HIM! (Dromulus will be unconscious and you have to include a disarming move in your post)
​

Lucious Umbra, the Blood Watchman (7/9 WL) vs. Dromulus, the Ultramarine (0/9 WL)​

"And that is enough" as he spoke lucious moved his left hand from his sword grip and grabed the ultramarines arm and sword and in the next second his left leg knocked the ultramarine flat on the floor and with a single hit to the back of the head with the hilt of his sword he released the ultramarines weapon from its master and moved him to one side

"That I am though I doubt I'd tell him anything he wouldn't already know or find out, Chief Librarian is bound to have his place warded for just such intrusions. Really now brothers why not simply ask him for access? I'm certain anything safe for our eyes would probably be relinquished, anything else withheld for safeties sake, seeing as our witch-kin tend to be trusted with things less than savory. " Shrugging as they walked off Dantus gave a brief salute to the Steel Predator, unless they had a retort for him Angel Vermilion would go walking off to report this, Hermes was right after all and these early days with this Death Watch were going to be very important in establishing reputations and loyalty, best no make himself look like a liability on these matters.

@lord-watchman | Rising from his seat Athenallas started clapping.
"Nicely done Blood Watchman!"

<Training Complex - Battle Cages>
+ @lord-watchman
+ @Avenging-Angel
+ @seabass

Maxis the Lion's Sabre went into the Battle Cage to drag the Ultramarine out. Giving a nod to the Blood Watchman, signalling that he approved of stopping the angry Astartes and knock him out cold so the rest of the Warriors would have peace for some time. The Dark Angel Successor simply placed Dromulus on a bench nearby and let him rest up in a laying position.

Shinn Dun, the Ronin did not clap, as he was not impressed. "Try to best him, once his mind is calm and steady like the mountain ranges of Macragge. He still was upset from the Iron Snake and my victory over their outnumbering. Chipped his pride straight of his armor. And while not the best warrior, he definitely is one of the better leaders of us." He spoke reserved and with strong weight in his name. The former White Scar knowing exactly what he was talking about.


OOC: @DeranVendar ; obviously waiting on @matt23 before continuing your 'story-line'

Sariel moved over to where Iron Snake had landed, however he didn't make any moves to attack whatsoever. "Now think about this situation a little bit harder Brother Turamodus," Dark Angel spoke with a strong and assertive voice, a light year different from his earlier mocking tones. It was also interesting to notice that this was first time he used Iron Snake's actual name when addressing him.

"One simple taunt and you threw away everything you stand for? Your honor, your virtue, everything on the floor just because somebody made you angry? Is this the example you want to give to the rest of your comrades here? That a mighty Snake from Ithaka couldn't hold his temper? After all, we are not Blood Angels," Sariel smiled and instead of a sword, he offered Turamodus a hand to get up.

"I apologize for my earlier behavior, but I was interested in seeing how you would react to it. Understand that I need such knowledge, well not only I but everyone else here. All of this is new to us and what better way to know each other than to completely mimic battlefield situation and see how each of us pulls his weight there. Suffice to say, I am quite pleased from what I saw so far."
