Salt, that battle post was fantastic. First-rate.

Haha!

That's about the idea of it.

I should have said that - in the boarding action - keep in mind that PCs were more involved in directing their forces than in just fighting themselves. That's not to say you woudln't have gotten stuck in. I abstracted the whole battle, which is why your wounds were light. The focus was more on the l...

As the battle in the Cargo Bay intensifies, the Invictus comes about, describing a great arc to bring the fleeing enemy vessels in her sights. By the time the frigate is prepared to fire, the raiders are speeding away. The consequent batteries of the Invictus do slight damage, while the prow lance m...

Sorry for the tardiness of my reply - I will finish this off tomorrow. I'll make all the rolls and let the three PCs involved in the boarding action know how they do. I'll then give you all 72hrs to reply, so that you can put the mechanics into words. This is intended as a chance to have some fun wi...

Just wanted to drop in and say that: A) I am looking forward to being able to get back into this game, though it will probably take me until the first week of the new year to get the time, and B) I thought that the following post was absolutely fantastic: Louis turns to the man. Crouching down, well...

Salt watches a burning armsmen sail past her from a level far above, flailing and screaming before dissapearing into the swirling mists below. Somewhere above, the sounds of a flamer filling the tightly packed levels with fiery hell is audible. Bullets whizz by, impacting the walls around Salt, and ...

[ We can assume that the Nevou has a suit of Guard Flak Armour given to Garrius for the fight (since your own armour would probably be in your personal armoury on the Invictus ). Several transports are despatched from the transports, carrying their own contingents of armsmen. These troops aren't ple...

Just for Salt's benefit, I should point out that the cargo hold doesn't contain much actual foodstuff. Instead, it holds cargo absolutely essential to the success of the current Endeavour. Most of that is securely packed and the crates can take a few blasts from grenades and autoguns (very few bolte...

Andrea approaches Brother Clabo. "Excuse me, Brother. Is there anything that I can do to assist you and the Emperor in this battle? I have no combat duties, but I find idleness distasteful when my home is being attacked by pirates." 'Not without word from Zarkov, Andrea. Down here, we hav...

I say to Captain Gauis Trulitch, "We aren't winning here. Maybe we withdraw, let them smell the Void." Salt makes her way between cover while the pirates steadily advance. Addressing Trulitch with her scheme, the captain glares at her in disbelief. 'And risk our cargo?! Retreat if you hav...

Ah shit, was just coming to post but all g, you are correct I was going to target the nearest ship indeed. Now ill go read that update EDIT Wow Whats the chance of me gathering a force of armsmen from the transports and shuttling them to the Invictus as reinforcements? Very high. The helmsman of th...

Updated. Sorry to Dorian that I couldn't wait, but I figured you'd probably continue to have the transports target the closest ship.

Brutal times.

Another very quick update. Irritates me that I'm having to write straight from the top of my head into the browser, but I am strapped for time of late.

Sustained barrages of macro-batteries erupt from every quarter as the battle becomes interwtined and furious. The line of transports tear through the shields of the closest Hazeroth and blast apart its armour, sending great explosions throughout one of its dorsal cannons. The Invictus opens fire eve...

On the Drak-Kung front, his absence may or may not be for a long while, so it might be best if DK were still on the ship somewhere, so there's no issue later trying to re-integrate him into the story. Wasn't he injured in the previous thread? Maybe he's recovering much slower than expected, or some...

Australia, being such a large place, has enormous regional diversity in accents. Most people in Australia live in coastal areas (which is not what the Tourism Board would have you believe), and those in major urban centres tend to have a slightly more British accent. Travel into the country and you'...

Will update tomorrow, so as to give Drak-Kung and Garrius a little time to post, should they wish to.

[ I'm curious how we go about informing the ratings that the priests are there to bless them... they're all stone deaf. Laser pointer to get their attention, then point at the priests? But, that's Clabo's problem. ] [ The mere presence of the missionaries is a great boost, plus the gunnery crew are...

Good to hear.

I had to rush that post out, alas. I hope everything is clear.

You have all had some excellent rolls so far. Zarkov's first BS test for the ship was a 01!
