Kais, being severely injured with only an Autopistol left isn't very helpful. An idea popped into her head, as she put the AP rounds into the Autopistol, and fired a burst at the creature.
Ferenien looked to the Arbitrator mentioning the Underhive and the Freedom's Angels, speaking under his helmet he would say "Freedom's Angels, do they wear a sigil such as these?" He would reach behind him to his pack, taking out four blood-stained patches symbolizing dedication to some local saint and livery, with actual print underneath the emblem that says 'Freedom's Angels', but who overlooks that? "If so, recent violations of intrusion and neglect of superior orders have put them on this Scion's liquidation list."
+ @High_Adept_Zeth "The uprising is in full scale attack and the Cardinal was all behind the planning. There are two main threats. One who oversees the Freedom's Angels stockpile of weapons and xeno technology and one who is in the cathedral, controlling the unleashing of various Plague Zombies and preparing to summon more 'allies' from the warp. Red 'X'es mark storage areas, they are placed on doors. We must inform the Inquisitor immediately and mobilize all forces available on this world to stop this now." Takeshi said calm and reserved, trying to get the tactical details across with utmost efficiency.
The Scion would nod. "We must take immediate action and inform the Inquisitor, however priority is first. Both of these acts are heretical in an even match with being treasonous and must be dealt with swiftly. This Scion suggests that we purge the plague dealer in the Cathedral above all; reasoning being it would bring deadlier expanses of heretical dealing upon this planet than a provoking and distracting planetary militant." Votum would look around, analyzing the surroundings once more in thought.
"The priority is to inform the Inquisitor so she can organize proper forces and take command of this world as she requires, Scion. But I agree that we should immediately mobilize whatever we can to eradicate the psychic taints. On our way there, we shall keep our eyes open for their secret stash supplies, I would be not surprised if there would be weapons stored to deal with all sort of dangers, including warp-beasts." Takeshi noted as he looked at the Enforcer nearby. "Fetch me a proper Vox-Caster and get me the best Arbites you have here, as well as getting your vehicles ready. This is no mere rebellion - but a war against the darkest of villains, the worst of the scum the galaxy has to offer. The manifestation of pure evil that needs to be beaten into submission and destruction." It was an attempt to get back into his persona - despite the serious situation, his marketing strategy had to be kept alive.
An inglorious swing of a power maul ended his hopes of extracting information and perfecting the said tehniques. Disappointment aside,Yamada had a gift for the divine and in quite summary of a breath he elaborated the data of which,he mostly knew.However...there were details. Masking his displeasure under the shadow of his cowl,Adept Zeth nodded to Takeshi as the man traded words with the Stormtrooper. "Very well.I shall deliever the message and seek guidance from the Inquisitor.The matter of priorities stays...and you seem capable enough,Sar Yamada."spoke Zoran as he glanced toward the ruined skull of a Cardinal,the pieces of his brains lying around his corpse like petals from a dying flower at the mercy of winds. Keeping his choler in check at the prospect of possible knowledge gained - now lost,Zeth headed toward the Banquet Hall,rambling under his breath words of scorn and hatred were uttered at the thought of being used as a courier,when his time could have been spent elsewhere.He had doubts about the fledging Inquisitor when she recruited him.But this.... OOC: *bangs his head against a wall*
Pierce heard something crash through the wall, as he suddenly felt his Exitus rifle Jam by hearing a sick click, A xeno like machine bit into his leg and thew him out of the building and through a window Pierce fell landing his back with shards digging trying to dig through his stealth suit the machine began to make its final approach to finish off the wounded assassin. His hands went to his Exitus Pistol and his krak that remained on his belt. Aiming his Exitus pistol with one hand began Firing at the machine and he kept the Krak in his other hand in case the machine got to his vital organs, he would detonate the Krak and hope fully take him and the machine out.
As expenditiously as her condition allowed, Astra had fled from the backroom, through the room where the banquet was held, and further outside, until she had caught up with the van, scrambled to get at the weapons storage, and fetched the lasrifle, before returning, breathing heavily and with the taste of copper on the back of her tongue. Considerably slower than before, she'd made her way back towards the back room, passing the questioning gaze of nobles (and Pius) and several inviting opportunities to take a rest, and eventually, feeling the pain even more than before, came in sight of the rest of the retinue, clutching the rifle and wheezing as if she was about to die from suffocation before handing it to Sedric. Afterwards, she still kept as much distance as possible from the living corpses, only pulling out her pistol with a shaky hand and shooting vaguely into their direction, too spent to aim properly.
"Dammit Lightnin' you're stealin' me thunder!" Boris chuckled as he found any reliable shot on the zombie was obscured by the space marine. No longer seeing much a need for himself to fire upon it Vostroyan convenes with their Inquisitor. "Apologies m'am but I've need to invoke yer name a moment. " Wheeling around to set his sights on the Spryers the guardsman bellows with every ounce of air his lungs can muster. "CEASE FIRE AT ONCE THE WHOLE LOT OF YE! ANY CIVILIAN CASUALTIES ON YOUR HANDS AND YOU'LL BE HELD IN CONTEMPT OF THE INQUISITOR! " Those puffed up battle suited nutters needed reined in before they actually got someone innocent hurt. "ACT IN SELF-DEFENSE ONLY AN DON'T FIRE AT THE CROWDS YE BUNCH OF IDJITS!" Threats and orders made Boris slams into a door and begins meandering down the hall to reinforce Miria and Sedric. "GET CLEAR!" Waiting for both his fellow Acolytes to move away he readies heavy stubber, prepared to shred putrid forms apart the split second he has a shot.
~~Underhive~~ SPECTER's bolt pistol would make its mark on the Xeno-Machine, as the round found its mark in the flank of the big cat, diverting its attention from the wounded assassin as the round caused sparks to fly from the new hole in its side. As for K'tikathat, luck would once again intervene as the flaming toxic building that the Skitarii left behind started collapsing, with the Missile launcher falling out of the structure and rolling down the street along with a few Krak Missiles for good measure, providing a potential solution to the Xeno-Mech problem. Kais's autopistol didn't harm the Xeno-Machine at all, Fire Warrior's inaccuary with the weapon was more to blame than anything else. As for Pierce, after a few missed shots the Exitus Pistol, it hit the machine in exactly the same spot as Firebat's bolt pistol did, round penetraiting deep into the machine and tearing apart the components that made up the machine's 'organs' As for the PDF Squad, they didn't let the loss of their squad leader dishearten them, as finally the Chimera hit the Xeno-Machine , even if it just clipped the machine's tail. Terna and Zerta managed to land enough fire to further damage the machine, while bullets from Arano's autopistol failed to penetrate the beast's armour. Knowing that its time was soon up, the machine did all it could to kill as many that dared to opposite it, tail slicing apart Zerta as the man fell into two pieces while it rammed the Chimera, damaging the Imperial warmachine. The final blow inflected by the machine was upon Pierce, as it tried to bite off.... The arm with the Krak grenade. As Vindicare pulled the pin on the grenade, it imploded, tearing off his left arm up to the elbow and it significantly deformed the machine's head, audible whirring and a new-found slowness of movement that made it clear it was on its last legs. --------- Retinue Firebat: 4 {10} : Pierce: 5 {12}: In Left Building, lost right leg. Exitus Rifle is jammed. Lost Left arm (below the elbow) K'tikathat: 5 {10} : Armblades destroyed, Tonfa destroyed. Kais: 6 {10} : In Right Building, Lost left arm. Squad(Allies) Chimera (Hull Points: 4) Gek: 3 (In Chimera) Terna: 3 : Lost Long-Las Arano (Chainsword + autopistol): 3 Freedom's Angels Officer: 3 : (Kneecapped, All attacks made towards her are done at +1, lost Hotshot Lasgun, Knocked Out.) Xeno-Machine: 2 {Miniboss}: (Lost Heavy Stubbler, Enraged. ) ~~Backroom/Banquet Hall~~ Ogedei would find that no human blocked his line of fire to the Plague zombie, a bolt that blew the zombie into two torso bits then a chainsword applied to the head killed the corpse before anyone else could try and attack it. With both the Zombie dying to the marine and Boris telling them to not open fire if they could hit civilians, the Spyrers started to help Narthen get the stragglers out of the banquet hall. In the Backroom, the Retinue pulled together to shred the Plague Zombie menace, Boris turning to the weakest of the rotting corpses and letting the Heavy Stubbler turn it into a holey mess, flesh and bone painting the wall, but it was still alive, head not yet destroyed. Sedric finished that Zombie off, lasgun neatly placing a shot through the forehead. Miria's Power Sword lopped off a zombie's arm, and Astra's pistol managed to it a Zombie that had tried to get too close to her in the chest, bullet propelling Plague Zombie backwards. The zombies had mixed luck, the one that had been attacked by Miria, corpse falling over as a lunge missed Boris by a wide margin, falling onto the floor and in the perfect position to be finished off by the retinue, while the one Astra attacked.... It managed to stumble back towards the Blank, and another blow from its arms resulted in more pain for the Blank, as it hit the girl in her leg. Backroom -------- Retinue: Astra: 9 {10} Miria: 9 {10} Sedric: 9 {10} Boris: 10 What lurks behind closed doors: Plague Zombies x2 :5, 3, : Zombie (Must be killed by attack to the head/attack that would destroy the body.) Hall-Battle concluded! --------- Retinue: Alicia: 10 Ogedei: 12 Allies: Narthen: 4 Yeld Spyrer: 6 Orrus Spyrer: 6 ~~Courthouse~~ "Well Scion, those are the same patches their irregulars wear...." The Arbitrator was about to go on, but then Takeshi interrupted, so he quickly gestured to a few of his men who disappeared, and a few minutes later they returned with a Vox-Caster.... And a few more Arbitrators. The Lead Arbitrator said "So, what's the plan boss?" He was keeping silent about the fact that if Takeshi hadn't given the Cardinal a chance to give a message, they wouldn't be in this mess. ~~Courthouse --> Banquet Hall~~ As Zoran was forced to play messenger for the Enforcer, the Tech-Priest would find that the Banquet hall was now empty for all but two Spyrers, Narthen, Lady Ionria, Hera and the Inquisitor. As he entered the deadly quiet room, he was wave over by Alicia who said "So, what did Takeshi do? Did he find anything useful or did saving the Cardinal turn out to do more harm than good?" ~~~~~ OOC: Don't worry Zeth, you're not the one who screwed up big-time by letting the Cardinal near a Vox-Caster! @Shadhunter @torque @Uriel1339 @Verticus @Colapse @Casavay @GoreWrencha @Coffeechipmunk @TechCaptain @Vulpas
